"I never thought you would be such a young master!"
Wei Zizhou gossiped about Xie Yan, from Miss Zhang in the east city to the white girl Ruth and the black girl in Africa. Finally, he looked at Xie Yan with a sad face and said, "Now that the apocalypse has arrived, it might be difficult for you to take a plane in the future, right?"
Xie Yan returned to his frosty expression again. He looked at Wei Zizhou opposite him, unwilling to answer his question.
But Wei Zizhou obviously didn't intend to let him go.
"It's okay. Just because you can't fly doesn't mean you'll be gone forever. Besides, even if you were to go back to the time before liberation and become like us, without luxury cars and beautiful women, you still have the hands of a hardworking people. As long as you work hard, you'll still be able to live a prosperous life."
"It was like a news broadcast, a leader's speech. But, if Officer Wei saw it so clearly, why did he have the audacity to hijack the TV station? What's wrong with you?"
Xie Yan spoke coldly.
Wei Zizhou laughed and shook his head. "Nonono, Mr. Xie, don't you understand my path to success? Of course, it's to support the reunification of our motherland and serve the country."
"Hmph, I really didn't realize you had such patriotism. However, what you saw before seemed more like something your brain was flooded with water. Besides, that incident didn't show that you had such a determination."
Xie Yan always thought that Wei Zizhou's decision to hijack the TV station was out of his mind.
He wanted to tell Lincheng and even more people that there were many ways to deal with the end of the world, but he chose the most undesirable method and even lost himself in it. If it weren't for Xu Xuening, he wouldn't be able to leave Lincheng now.
"Okay, both of you. I think one of you has water in your brain, and the other has fish in your cerebellum. You're both the same. Stop criticizing each other."
Xu Xuening felt a headache as she listened to their conversation.
"Who is like him?"
"I won't go along with him."
The two answered almost in unison.
When Xu Xuening heard their answers, her head started to hurt again.
"Tell me first, wasn't your place fine before? How come so many zombies came here?" Xu Xue Ning decided to change the subject quickly. She couldn't let these two people continue to dwell on the same topic. If they continued like this, they would simply regress to the level of elementary school students.
More and more childish!
Hearing Xu Xuening's question, Xie Yan's heart was touched. He paused for a long time. Wei Zizhou, who was sitting next to him, also turned his head to look at him, waiting for him to quickly answer the question that everyone in the car was concerned about.
"Actually, I've been thinking about this matter, and my grandfather's side is one of the important reasons."
Xie Yan explained to several people.
He looked at the people behind him and thought that not long ago, there were hundreds of people following him, but now there were only seven or eight people left in this car. Those with poor mental quality should follow Xiang Yu's example and commit suicide by slashing their throats at the Wujiang River.
"This matter has to start from when you left." Xie Yan slowly recalled.
…
That day, after breakfast, he continued to send people to contact those outside. He needed definitive proof and observation to determine whether the apocalypse was truly imminent or merely a massive epidemic. The state would undoubtedly intervene to protect the nation after the apocalypse, but if Xu Xuening's story was true, he was somewhat puzzled by the current situation. According to Xu Xuening's description, the apocalypse had been causing unrest for six months, and instead of calming down, it was only intensifying. Her account revealed no trace of the state or any action. So, what had happened?
Whenever he thought of this, he felt full of doubts.
Is that woman lying again, or has the world really changed?
If that woman was lying, then he could stay here and send someone to help immediately when Lincheng needed assistance. But what if she wasn't?
If that woman wasn't lying, what on earth was happening to the country?
Xie Yan couldn't figure out what was going on, so he could only handle it in the safest and most conservative way.
He thought of countless possibilities, but he didn't expect that the country didn't need his help yet, and the cowardly grandfather in his family turned out to be such a person.
First, Jones and Grandpa in the lab teamed up and together planted drugs in their cafeteria, controlling most of the people. Then, all the animals in the experiment escaped. Unlike the animals outside, these animals immediately mutated after being infected.
Not only does it mutate, it also seems to have a tendency to evolve.
It can be said that if Xu Xuening and the others had not come, even if Xie Yan was captured by his grandfather for experiments, his grandfather and Jones's gang would not have been able to see it through to the end.
"Grandpa has always hoped to use the spiritual stone in our family to achieve immortality."
Xie Yan sighed. "Before this, the research on that stone hadn't made any progress, so the money-losing laboratory was handed over to me. Originally, I was just using the profits from one of my companies to slowly support it, but after Jones came over, the experimental progress suddenly improved. So, grandpa must have been bewitched by Jones and the others. He heard that the spirit stone could improve the human body and prolong life, so he wanted to return to his youth and take back the power of the Xie family."
"Is your grandpa out of his mind?" Han Xiaoxiao, who was listening intently, gnawed on a bag of pickled chicken feet while looking at Xie Yan.
He uttered a rambling sentence, barely finishing a chicken claw when he noticed several people staring at him. He gave a fake smile, then remembered that the person he was talking about was the boss of the older men on their bus. He quickly changed the subject and explained, "The old men and women in our area are all like that. When they hear that something can cure all diseases and prolong life, they're eager to spend all their pension money on a foam pillow or a stone bed. At worst, they'll buy the stone that some master brought back."
