Yang Qing was shocked. "Teacher Zhang, I'm not a police officer, nor am I a civil servant. I'm not even... a good person!"
Zhang Youyi waved her hand and smiled, "I know. I knew it the first time I saw you. The moment you came in, I activated the self-destruct sequence."
"What?" Yang Qing was shocked.
"But don't worry, there's still time, twenty-four hours." Zhang Youyi said, "Little girl, come with me!"
Zhang Youyi started her electric wheelchair and drove towards a closed door, with Yang Qing following behind.
Zhang Youyi pressed a button on the wall and the heavy round steel door opened. Yang Qing followed in and was stunned when she saw what was inside.
It was dozens of meters deep underground, and inside was a huge cruise ship, at least ten meters high, filled with huge boxes with flashing lights.
"This is the 'Noah's Ark' I built." Zhang Youyi said with a faint smile on her face, seeming very satisfied with her achievements.
"Ever since I discovered that comet, I've been traveling around the world, collecting all sorts of plant seeds and animal embryos. There are at least hundreds of thousands of species. I can't say I've found every species in the world, but I do have most of them."
"They are all well-categorized and stored. They use the most advanced refrigeration technology and have independent power supply systems. They should be able to last for decades without any problems."
Yang Qing was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. How much manpower and resources would it take for such a large project?
If these can be preserved, there will be hope for mankind even if it is the end of the world.
"I've also sent signals to certain departments, but received no response." Zhang Youyi sighed. "I know the country is in a critical period and doesn't have time to bother with me, but I really can't bear to see all this destroyed."
"Little girl, if possible, please convey my message to them..." Zhang Youyi looked at Yang Qing.
Yang Qing shook his head. "Teacher Zhang, you think too highly of me. I'm just an ordinary person."
Zhang Youyi nodded. "I know this isn't easy. If you rashly go to see any leader, you won't be able to see him. They might even think you're crazy."
"But I don't have any other choice..." Zhang Youyi sighed, "I don't have time anymore. If they can't take these away, they can only be destroyed."
"Why? Didn't you say that those power systems would be fine for decades? Just let them stay here. After the apocalypse is over, maybe someone will find this place." Yang Qing said.
"It's not that simple..." Zhang Youyi hesitated, "In fact, these things of mine are not only known to people in our institute, but also to some people in Eagle Country."
"When that friend gave me the inheritance, his family knew about us. I'm worried they might have reached some kind of agreement with the Eagle Country officials. If they find out, I'd rather destroy it than let it fall into their hands."
Yang Qing was a little puzzled. "If they have this ability, and contribute to humanity..."
Although it would certainly be better if people from our own country were to rebuild the world, the responsibility for humanity as a whole is too great, and it wouldn't be a bad thing to have support from other countries.
"Because..." Zhang Youyi hesitated for a moment, "Our research results are more than these."
Zhang Youyi drove the wheelchair to a cabinet nearby, opened the door with her iris, and took out a box from the refrigerator.
When the box was opened, there was a box of injections inside, with more than a dozen of them, and the injections were emitting a strange blue light.
"What is this?" Yang Qing was very surprised. Although he didn't know what it was, he felt that the energy inside was powerful for some reason.
"This was extracted from a meteorite..." Zhang Youyi suddenly started coughing violently again. "I've only experimented on animals and found ways to cause genetic mutations, but I haven't tried it on humans yet."
"I'm worried that this thing will change the world situation, and I'm afraid they'll find out."
"Then why not destroy it?" Yang Qing asked.
Zhang Youyi shook her head, "But if it's in our hands, then we have the initiative."
Yang Qing frowned. She understood the principle of being guilty of possessing a treasure. Rather than living in fear, it would be better to destroy it.
"I know you have a secret..." Zhang Youyi looked at Yang Qing, "On the third floor, even though the lights were off, I still vaguely saw you. You can disappear and appear out of thin air..."
Yang Qing was shocked. She saw everything?
Yang Qing immediately took a step back and looked at Zhang Youyi warily.
Zhang Youyi smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, little girl. I won't hurt you, otherwise you would have died the moment you entered the basement."
"I am a dying man and will not take your secret out. Besides, I have something to give you." Zhang Youyi took out a pendant from her pocket. The outer shell of the pendant was wrapped with a layer of transparent material like glass.
However, Yang Qing felt that it was not glass, but seemed to be some extremely rare substance.
There is a purple crystal inside the transparent substance.
Yang Qing's heart began to beat violently. This crystal stone looked like the one he had gotten in his previous life, but his was pink while this one was purple, emitting a brilliant purple light.
The pink crystal opened up the spatial ability for himself, and this purple crystal seemed to contain even greater energy.
What could it be?
Yang Qing's heart was pounding.
No wonder Dr. Zhang saw through her secret at a glance; it turned out she had known it for a long time.
"This is your reward." Zhang Youyi placed the purple crystal into Yang Qing's hand. "But I don't know what the energy inside is. You have to discover it yourself in the future."
"But before you have the ability, don't break that layer of transparent material easily, otherwise you may not be able to bear it."
Yang Qing stared blankly at the crystal in his hand, still a little bit unable to believe that he actually got another crystal?
"Little girl..." Zhang Youyi never asked Yang Qing's name, "I'll leave this to you. Although you are not a soldier or police officer, I can tell that you are not a bad person, otherwise you would not help them and would not kill that evil man."
"Of course, I won't force you. Everyone has limited abilities, so just do your best. If you really can't do it due to force majeure, I won't blame you."
Zhang Youyi looked at the "Noah's Ark" with a glint in her eyes. "Fifty years ago, when I first joined this project with my mentor, I knew what I was doing and was proud of it."
"I have never left here for so many years. My mentor, I, and my students have all dedicated our lives to this."
"Although I will never see them come into being, I have never regretted it. Although we have entered the end of the world, I believe that everything can start over. The darkness will eventually end, and light will surely come!"
Yang Qing looked at Zhang Youyi like this and didn't know how to describe his feelings. He could only admire her and look up to her, but it would be difficult for him to be like her.
"I'll try my best..." Yang Qing's voice was a little hoarse, "But I can't guarantee that I can do it. The future is unpredictable..."
"That's enough." Zhang Youyi smiled, "You're a good child. Just do what you want and do your best!"
"I should leave now." Zhang Youyi turned around. "I've opened all the restrictions here. Take whatever you can. Just evacuate within 24 hours."
She walked to the other side and opened a small door. Yang Qing seemed to hear her say, "Teacher Ren, Yanyan, I'm here, I'm here to see you..."
The door closed, and suddenly a fierce flame burst out from inside and burned fiercely.
Then everything returned to calm.
