Chapter 154 The Anti-Human Boss 24

"You—" Yi He held back for a moment, but ultimately didn't utter a curse. Remembering that he needed his help, he changed his approach, "Do you know that there are more and more zombies outside?"

"What does this have to do with me?" Yi Xichen didn't even glance at the man.

“Aren’t you also surviving in the base? If the number of zombies increases and the base is destroyed, then no one will survive!” Yi He said righteously. “I know you can develop a cure for the virus, so for the sake of the base and for your own comfort, you should make the cure. I will have the researchers at the base make it. You just need to give me the sample.”

"Ha." Yi Xichen found it amusing. "Do you think I'm afraid of death?"

"And isn't it you who caused all of this?" Yi Xichen looked at Yi He and said sarcastically, "Do you think I don't know? You're the one who released the virus. You want to be a leader, a savior, an emperor. You created this apocalypse. What? Now that the virus has spread, you're scared?"

Looking at the man's furious face, Yi Xichen smiled slyly, "You call me a monster, but aren't you just as rotten? You're willing to pay any price for your own selfish desires, you brought me back to the Yi family to inherit the family business, and you wanted to kill me as soon as you took the throne. Now that I'm useful again, I've become your precious son again?"

"Shut up!" Yi He's kind expression vanished, and he shouted sternly, "Aren't you a monster? You killed someone in a laboratory when you were only thirteen. If I hadn't taken you home and given the protection of the Yi family, you would have been killed long ago. Instead of thanking me, you blame me. Besides, I'm the one who saved your life. Letting you live a few more years before you die is a way of atoning for the dead!"

Upon hearing his words, Yi Xichen recalled his previous experiences, and a wave of nausea washed over him. His face darkened, and a murderous intent surged within him. "I think it wouldn't be bad for the base to have a new commander."

"Are you crazy? Who can manage the base without me?" Yi He's pupils dilated, and he suddenly realized something. "You may not be afraid of death, but what about the girl you brought? She will die too. If the base is captured, she will die too!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Xichen lowered his hand, lowered his eyes, and pondered for a while. Yi He thought he had convinced him and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when a powerful supernatural force struck his heart. He quickly dodged and used his ice-type supernatural power to create a protective wall. He heard the boy coldly say, "She won't die, but you will."

The powerful lightning ability blasted the ice wall apart. Yi He never expected that what he thought he could subdue or even fight to a draw would turn out to be completely different. He could crush him!

Fear gradually rose in his heart. He couldn't die. In order to prevent anyone from knowing what he was going to say to Yi Xichen, he didn't even bring his subordinates. He tried to open the door of the experimental base, but he couldn't open it no matter what he did.

Yi Xichen didn't want to waste any more words with him and continued to use his supernatural abilities to strike his body parts. The walls of the experimental base had already been cracked by lightning.

Yi He was panting heavily as he dodged, his supernatural abilities almost exhausted, but Yi Xichen felt no fatigue at all. The fear of death terrified him; he didn't want to die. He endured the humiliation in his heart and begged for mercy: "Xichen, for the sake of the base needing a leader, don't kill me. I won't bother you again."

"It's too late."

Yi Xichen pierced the man's heart with a green vine, and blood flowed from the man's body, splattering on the ground. Yi Xichen coldly stared at the man who died with his eyes wide open.

Looking at the mess, he used his fire-based abilities to burn the man's body, but he still couldn't calm down. He stood there in silence for a long time before finally using his abilities to clean up the place.

He suddenly felt extremely tired, as if he had returned to seven years ago, when he was locked in a sealed container with various tubes inserted into his body, making it difficult to breathe.

They were kidnapped and used as experimental subjects in a laboratory for three whole years. Their daily routine consisted of various drugs and tests. They liked to cut open their own bodies and then sew them back up, perfectly avoiding any fatal cuts. Countless days and nights, they wanted to die but couldn't...

He wouldn't die; on the contrary, his immunity grew stronger and stronger. No matter how much they tormented him, he couldn't be killed. Their research interest grew even stronger. To prevent him from resisting, his neck and hands were covered in electric handcuffs. If he dared to resist, he would be electrocuted or even die.

He sneered inwardly. Would he be afraid of death? He endured the intense, bone-shaking sensation as he struggled to his feet. His vision blurred, but when he regained consciousness, he was the only one alive in the laboratory. Blood was everywhere, staining even the walls, resembling a living hell. Had he finally found release?

The powerful electric current brought a numbing sensation, a feeling that his muscles were about to be shaken off. He eventually collapsed in a pool of blood. When he awoke again, he was lying on an extremely luxurious bed. The man wept bitterly for him, renaming him Yi Xichen. He thought this was salvation, but it was another abyss...

"Have you heard? This monster killed ten researchers."

"How terrifying! Look at him, he's not even afraid of a corpse. He's a psychopath!"

"Stop talking, stop talking! He's looking over here, and that look in his eyes is terrifying! He could kill someone!"

He often heard this voice in his ears. He hated research, but research was what was deeply ingrained in his mind. Only when he cut open a corpse to study the potion could he calm down. He became more and more indifferent to emotions until he discovered the secret that Yi He had taken him home and that he wanted to kill him.

Indeed, no one in this world wanted him to live; everyone had an ugly face, and not a single person had ever shown him a shred of kindness…

“Achen…” The gentle voice roused him from his memories.

He was enveloped in a warm embrace, and it felt somewhat unreal. He came to his senses and looked at the cleaned-up floor. Apart from some cracks in the walls, there was no sign of a struggle. He felt relieved and slowly reached out to hug her back.

Only Qiuqiu was different. She would coax him, care for him, make sure he took his medicine when he was sick, and comfort him so he wouldn't be afraid...

He still has her, so does this apocalypse need to exist? Should we try to save them?

Yi He did indeed remind him that he wasn't afraid of death, and even looked forward to it. Seeing others struggle in their death throes and witness the dehumanizing revelry before death was quite interesting. But he didn't want her to die. He didn't want to save the world, but he wanted her to live...

Xu Qiuqiu had no idea what he was thinking. She learned from 003 that he was using drugs to maintain a high temperature so he wouldn't be discovered, but excessive use of these drugs had serious effects on his body…
