Wu Ran was so angry that he started cursing, but the current Xiao Wu was not the same Xiao Wu as before.

With a loud crash, a huge iron cage fell from the sky and locked Wu Ran inside.

Wu Ran was startled for a moment, but then he came to his senses.

"Are you crazy? Why did you lock me up?" Wu Ran tried to move the iron cage with his hands, but it wouldn't budge. He could only shout at Xiao Wu, "Open the cage now!"

"Go ahead and shout, it won't do you any good even if you shout until your throat is hoarse," Xiao Wu said with a stern face.

Wu Ran was furious. He flipped his palms and tried to activate his superpower, but this was a laboratory surrounded by reinforced concrete. He couldn't directly touch the soil, so his superpower was useless.

"Ding!" The elevator leading to the laboratory suddenly opened, and Wu Ran turned around sharply to see Chen Ke and Wu Wei walking out together.

He couldn't believe it. "Wu Wei, you actually dared to bring Chen Ke into the lab?"

Wu Wei looked Wu Ran up and down, not expecting that instead of seizing the opportunity she gave him to leave, he would walk right into her trap.

Chen Ke wasn't surprised to see Wu Ran here. Since he and Li Ruichun had gotten into trouble together, he naturally came to find Wu Ran first.

But now Li Ruichun only has his brain still functioning, so it seems there's nothing he can do to help him.

"Come with me."

"Um."

Chen Ke led Wu Wei straight inside. Wu Ran was initially afraid that the two would do something to him, but when he saw that the two walked away as if they hadn't seen him, he became angry and dissatisfied.

These two weren't here for him?

Chen Ke led Wu Wei directly to the secret laboratory at the bottom.

The moment Wu Wei entered, she gaped in astonishment, "Where...where exactly is this place?"

"The future human breeding base, Dr. L conducts experiments here, extracting genes from superhumans, hoping to create artificial evolved beings."

"How come there's a brain here?!"

"This is Dr. L's brain."

"Dr. L's brain? No wonder he seemed different from ordinary people." Perhaps because there were too many surprising things today, Wu Wei was not too surprised to suddenly learn that Dr. L, who was perfectly fine, only had one brain left.

Chen Ke stood in front of Li Ruichun's head and asked, "Wu Wei, do you know what a good seed and an evil seed are?"

Does it refer to a person's character? The distinction between good and evil?

"The Three Character Classic says that at the beginning of life, people are inherently good, but not everyone is born inherently good. Some people are born evil, and no matter how you educate them, they will still do bad things, like the Chen Jiabao family."

Some people are neither good nor bad, and this is entirely determined by their upbringing. For example, you had a happy family before the apocalypse, and your parents gave you a good education from a young age, so you try your best to help others after the apocalypse.

There is another type: those who are born kind and good-natured. Even in the harshest environments, they remain kind and benevolent. (For example, the original owner of this body.)

"I haven't heard of that."

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, because you're not a brain-evolving individual." After saying that, Chen Ke led Wu Wei to an electronic display screen. "See these three dots?"

Wu Wei nodded.

Chen Ke continued, "Brain evolutionists can clearly distinguish whether a person is a good or evil type. I connected the device directly to Li Ruichun's brain, and he can tell just by putting a person's blood on it."

"That would be useful. In the future, we can just kill any that we identify as evil!" If that were really the case, she would not hesitate to kill them without hesitation.

Having just witnessed the evil side of human nature, Wu Wei has come to realize that some people are truly not worth helping.

"Uwei, this world is beyond saving."

Chen Ke then brought up another screen on the display, showing images of other human base laboratories.

The shelves were exactly the same and there were countless glass jars. The only difference was that many of the glass jars already contained human embryos.

"Li Ruichun delayed the experimental process because he wanted to improve your superpower level, but artificial evolved humans in other places have already begun to be cultivated. They don't care about good or bad genes, as long as they have the strongest genes. Gene fusion is inherently dangerous. If it fails, the human world may not only have zombies in the future, but also artificial monsters."

Wu Wei was shocked by what she saw. The images showed not only experiments on zombies, but even more experiments on evolved humans.

Hearing the desperate screams of those evolved beings who clearly had the power to resist outside, being chained up and devoured by zombies, Wu Wei clenched her fists in anger, her red eyes brimming with tears.

Why do these people do this? The world is already like this, why do they still conduct these inhumane experiments and add fuel to the fire of this hell?

"What should we do?! What should we do?!"

Is there any need for humanity to exist in this world? For the first time, Wu Wei felt a voice from the depths of her heart.

I used to hear a saying that the world is broken and dilapidated, but there are always people patching it up. Every time Wuwei heard this, she felt warm inside.

She firmly believed that this statement was true: even if it were the end of the world, there would still be people working hard for this world.

But everything that happened today seems to have suddenly shattered her beliefs.

"The inner city gate defenses have been breached," Chen Ke suddenly said, looking at the screen.

Wu Wei looked up and saw that the surveillance cameras on the defense tower were shaking violently, but the dense crowd below, desperately rushing in, was still clearly visible.

"The safe base... is completely finished."

"Boom! Boom!"

"Thump!"

Suddenly, several loud noises were heard, and the laboratory deep underground clearly felt the vibrations.

Chen Ke tapped the keyboard twice, and the camera cut to a street.

"Ah! Help!"

"Well!"

"Run! Run!"

Thick smoke billowed from the streets as rioters stormed into the inner city, burning, killing, looting, and vandalizing, venting their anger and resentment. Why did these people in the inner city deserve such good treatment?

The rioters, in groups of three or five, would harass and bully anyone dressed in fine clothes, but when they encountered the evolved beings from the inner city, they would be wiped out.

Some rioters even stormed into the military headquarters, grabbed officers who hadn't had time to escape, and under duress and bribery, opened the warehouse doors, looting all kinds of guns and ammunition.

They then launched a frenzied bombing campaign against the military headquarters.

The rear was in complete chaos. The soldiers who had been sent out to wipe out the zombies in the outer city had lost their will to continue holding out. Were they going to risk their lives here just to let those rioters bully their families inside?

One person led the retreat, followed by two or three others, until everyone started to retreat.

Chaos has begun. Everyone is thinking about themselves. Who cares about the big picture and is risking their lives here? Everyone is just trying to escape.

Without the pressure of firepower, the massive zombie army finally broke through the outer city defenses.

At this moment, the safe base finally fell completely.
