Chapter 61: You actually killed the original male protagonist in the end times!
As the system's cold voice fell, Song Mingjiao was quickly teleported into a new world, without giving him any time to think or resist.
It seems that the system's silence in the previous campus world was to carefully select a really difficult mode, wanting to teach the host who always stepped out of line a lesson.
Song Mingjiao was a little curious and wanted to know what the difficult nightmare world that the system had specially selected for him was like.
When the white light faded, Song Mingjiao opened his eyes and found himself in a base. The space was very large and surrounded by walls made of steel alloy.
Song Mingjiao frowned slightly, he felt a sense of familiarity.
The system is proud:
[Host, this world's theme is the apocalypse. It's a truly difficult nightmare mode, specially selected for you. This small world has just been included in the Quick Travel game, and this is the first time it's been put into use. Because the host maliciously violated the system rules and maliciously damaged the worlds cultivated by the system in previous worlds, a penalty mode has been activated.]
[Host's identity in this small world is a senior researcher at the base research institute. Although you have made many contributions to the base, you have actually neglected your boyfriend, the original male protagonist of the world center.]
The original male protagonist, Tang Yongnan, was a trainee researcher. After you kicked him out, he unexpectedly awakened his research talent, was highly valued by the base, and produced numerous achievements, leaving you far behind. Now, you're filled with regret, feeling inferior to the newcomers in talent, and you're forced to curry favor with the original male protagonist in order to maintain your position at the base.
[Host, this is the most dangerous apocalyptic world. After the quick-transmigration bureau was included, I still haven't dared to send anyone to carry out the mission. If you continue to act on your own while in this world and don't follow the system's mission requirements, you will face real danger.]
[Because this world is no longer a human domain, but a carnival of pollutants. Pollutants are rampant on the ground, the climate is harsh, and radiation is increasing. Humanity can only huddle in safe zones, waiting for the arrival of the savior, the male protagonist at the center of the world!]
Watching Song Mingjiao's attitude gradually change from being thoughtful at the beginning to being indifferent, the system failed to get the host's crying and frightened expression it wanted. The stage was prepared, but the protagonist refused to take the role.
The system used its final killing move.
[Host, please stop being so frivolous! You're a college student from a peaceful era. You haven't seen the apocalypse, so you don't know how terrifying this is.]
[You looked up, and you saw a dark cloud, right? ]
Song Mingjiao looked up cooperatively, then nodded perfunctorily: "Yeah, yes, I saw it."
"This isn't a dark cloud at all. It's a Class B pollutant, Thunderbirds, gathering in the sky to form a massive dark cloud. It's incredibly lethal, and it's constantly threatening the base. Otherwise, what do you think this impregnable fortress is for?"
[Are you scared now? Follow the system's instructions carefully, or you'll be kicked out of the safe zone. The radiation alone will be enough to make you suffer.]
The system thought it had successfully intimidated the host, and after so many failures in other worlds, it finally gained the upper hand over the host.
However, Song Mingjiao did not bow his head in the face of the natural disaster and the end of the world as the system expected. Instead, he looked at the thunderbird clouds in the sky and suddenly smiled.
"Apocalypse? Natural disaster? Nightmare?"
System alert.
[Yes, what are you thinking about? ]
Song Mingjiao stared at the sky, closing his eyes. Far from feeling afraid, he felt a sense of familiarity, like a fish returning to water, a wanderer returning to his homeland. The air had a distinctly apocalyptic, decadent air, but it was something Song Mingjiao had experienced for the longest time.
"System, why don't you take another look at me? Am I the same as the unlucky researcher in the script you gave me?"
The system stayed in Song Mingjiao's mind the whole time, without paying attention to Song Mingjiao's appearance. After the host made this request, it felt something was wrong. When it looked, it found that it was over!
Song Mingjiao doesn't look like a researcher at all. His face is as exquisite as in the previous world, but his clothes and system settings are completely different!
He even had long silver-white hair, wore a slim windbreaker, and had a crescent-shaped pendant around his neck. His skin was slightly pale, and there was no emotion in his eyes.
——This is Song Mingjiao’s original appearance.
[What's going on? Was the transmission wrong? Who are you?!]
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I know the senior researcher you mentioned, and where your male protagonist, Tang Yongnan, is."
Song Mingjiao's face was extremely calm, and his temperament changed instantly. His eyebrows and eyes were as cold as frost, and he no longer gave the system any glances. His whole body was as light as the mist in winter. When he walked, the corners of his clothes moved slightly, which was completely different from the evil host that the system was familiar with.
【what are you up to? 】
The system sensed that something was wrong.
But Song Mingjiao had no interest in talking to it anymore. He just followed the route in his memory, walked out of his birthplace, and advanced along the winding roads in the base.
"Tang Yongnan joined the Eternal Daylight Base in 236 New Calendar and developed an illicit relationship with his master. Leveraging this background, he was able to maneuver his way around the institute. Through his immense talent and exceptionally successful research, he gained the trust of the institute's second-in-command in 248 New Calendar, gaining access to the institute's core personnel. In 250 New Calendar, he murdered his master, who had discovered the situation."
Song Mingjiao paused and continued, "That's this year. It's an interesting number. No wonder you sent me here."
The system panicked.
【What are you talking about? How do you know so much?】
Moreover, some of them have never been mentioned in the information the system has.
"Afterwards, Tang Yongnan colluded with the Teman City Base, collaborating with them from within and without. Leveraging the Institute's core research, he released and awakened Pollutant No. 01, attempting to attack the Eternal Day Base. He used this to seize power and help the Teman City Base annex the Eternal Day Base."
"But unfortunately, he didn't know that the legend of a mysterious figure at the Everday Base was true. The invading wave of pollutants didn't break through the Everday Base. Instead, the hungry and angry pollutants flattened the Teman City Base."
"It might seem like something to be thankful for, but in reality, this was the turning point when humanity began to retreat. He released Pollutant 01, which obscured the sky and made it invulnerable to weapons. It's not interested in anything except attacking human bases."
"This year, in later generations, is known as the Dark Cataclysm."
Song Mingjiao walked neither fast nor slow, as if taking a leisurely stroll in the garden, and gently uttered a series of information from his mouth.
"The Cataclysm is the beginning of the apocalypse, and also..."
When Song Mingjiao passed by a training room, his voice coincidentally overlapped with that of the teacher who was passionately explaining human history.
The male teacher in a vest and top hat looked out the window in confusion. After seeing Song Mingjiao's figure, he immediately left his students happily, said "Read your books first", and ran out.
"Yue, ahem, sir, are you awake? I'll go tell the doctor right away!"
Song Mingjiao raised his hand to stop the male teacher's action: "No hurry, I have another matter to deal with. The research institute is in this direction, right?"
The male teacher nodded excitedly. "Yes, yes, yes. The doctor said that the structure of the area cannot be changed. We must ensure that every time you wake up, you can immediately find your location. If you don't mind, please follow me."
Unlike the friendly communication between Song Mingjiao and the male teacher, Mingming's system, which had no senses, felt cold sweat at this moment.
【What are you talking about? This, this never happened! 】
[And this person, how do you know him? Whose body were you teleported into this time?!]
Song Mingjiao sighed: "Of course it didn't happen, because these are all things from the past life, well, the real past life."
"I also have to thank you, System. Thank you for sending me back to this point in time, so that the end of the world has not yet come completely."
System pupil earthquake.
"What?! Sending you back to this world? Aren't you a male college student?"
"Well, I was, and I can be now."
Song Mingjiao didn't spend much time communicating with the system. He was soon taken to the research institute area and found the so-called male protagonist, Tang Yongnan.
Tang Yongnan was wearing a very low-key research suit. Instead of doing the experiment seriously, he was fawning everywhere. He looked like a combination of the central male protagonists of the previous worlds. No wonder Song Mingjiao had always hated the original male protagonist so much.
Before entering the room, Song Mingjiao whispered to the system:
"Thank you for choosing Tang Yongnan as the male lead. If it had been someone else, I probably wouldn't have been able to remember who it was."
【what are you up to? ! 】
Hearing the sound of an outsider disturbing them, the people in this core research institute area all looked up. Some of them had lived longer and recognized Song Mingjiao, while others were puzzled.
"Sir, the doctor is not here today. Are you here to see him?"
Song Mingjiao slowly and methodically condensed a very thin and long cone from the palm of his hand, but it showed cracks in the void and the surrounding space was faintly distorted.
As expected, the most reassuring thing is to return to my own world and feel my body filled with familiar strength again.
"No, I came to see him. His name is Tang Yongnan, right?"
The researcher, who appeared to be the oldest, with a white beard, had obviously seen this gentleman in action. His pupils shrank immediately, and he ran forward: "Sir, did Xiao Tang make a mistake in his work? I will definitely teach him a lesson. Uh, what are you doing?"
Song Mingjiao ignored them. He had an extraordinary status in this world, and obviously no one dared to come up and touch him.
"Hide in the back. Is this what the Teman City base taught you?"
Song Mingjiao walked forward step by step, and the cone in his palm became more and more solid.
Tang Yongnan was still hiding, but when he heard that he was called out, he thought that their plan had already been implemented, and even if it was interrupted by the people from the Yongzhou Base, it would not have much impact.
He immediately straightened up and said, "So what? Who are you? Teman City has long offered us the opportunity to cooperate, but you didn't cherish it. Let me tell you the truth. The invasion wave is about to hit the base, and this time the pollutants will be unprecedented and terrifying! Only by asking Teman City for help will you have a chance to escape. As for my colleagues, I can only serve as your liaison."
After his identity was exposed, Tang Yongnan turned hostile and looked at the panicked and discussed faces of the crowd with arrogance and disdain.
"Invasion tide? Oh my god! What should I do?"
But the person who revealed his identity had gorgeous long silver hair and walked towards him extremely calmly and unaffected.
The closer he got, the more Tang Yongnan suddenly felt the terrifying aura contained in the spike in the man's hand.
"What are you going to do? You want to kill me? That's ridiculous! If you kill me, no one will be able to save the Everday Base!"
Song Mingjiao remained silent, and the people around him did not dare to stop him. Now there was not even any discussion, only the slight sound of boots stepping on the smooth floor.
Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da.
Tang Yongnan went from being arrogant at the beginning to gradually becoming panicked. He expected that even if his identity was exposed, he would have enough bargaining chips to negotiate with the Yongzhou Base, but this man actually didn't listen to him at all.
The system was also screaming in Song Mingjiao's mind.
[Stop! Host, what are you doing! This is the male protagonist, you can't kill him! ]
"Do you know what the pollutant leading this invasion is? How dare you kill me?"
[Host!! The hero has a huge reward tied to him! Without it, you won't be able to move forward in this apocalypse. Stop immediately. The system is willing to open the store early!]
"I'm the son of the leader of the Teman City base. Do you dare to touch me? The Teman City base will definitely not let you go!"
The cone has been fully formed, the cone head is rotating, and the air around it is vibrating.
Song Mingjiao's figure was lonely and his breath was cold. He said softly, "We should have done this a long time ago."
Tang Yongnan's pupils constricted and he turned around to run away.
Song Mingjiao raised his hand slightly and sent out the cone that condensed terrifying power. The cone quickly captured the target at an extremely fast speed.
——Click.
A white light flashed in the room, and then not even ashes were left where Tang Yongnan had been.
"I hope it's not too late."
Song Mingjiao lowered his eyes slightly and reached out to wipe away the trace of blood brought by the sharp cone when it returned.
"Kill him just like that?" A young researcher hadn't dared to breathe until this moment, when he spoke in a trembling voice.
"Shut up! Do you know who he is?" The researcher next to him quickly covered the young man's mouth.
The system's mechanical sound beeped sharply several times.
[Host! You actually killed the original male protagonist. You must be punished! Go to the strongest gear!!]
Song Mingjiao simply flicked his sleeves and said without even looking up, "System, guess who's next?"
【!!! 】
But before the system could get scared, someone behind it pointed to the sky and said tremblingly, "The invasion tide is really coming."
It was clearly daytime, but it quickly got dark outside the window, with not a single ray of light coming through.
The terrifying sound rushed towards the base.
But Song Mingjiao sensed a familiar breath amidst the terror.
