Immediately, tears welled up in his eyes uncontrollably.
He Dong knew that his behavior was extremely shameful.
However, he couldn't control his tears.
Jiang Quan took a deep breath, looked at He Dong, and comforted him:
"Don't be afraid, these may not necessarily belong to them..."
Even though he knew how impractical his idea was.
"Um……"
Hearing Jiang Quan say this, He Dong forced a smile.
"Let's keep going."
Jiang Quan forced a smile.
So the three of them continued walking forward, step by step, heading down into the distance.
At the bottom of the stairs, there were many tattered clothes, broken legs, and severed arms. Some of the broken feet had even been trampled flat.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Quan and the others became even more certain of what He Dong had said earlier: a fierce battle had taken place here.
"There are several rooms here, let's go in and take a look!"
As Jiang Quan spoke, he led the way to the room on the left.
Upon closer inspection, it was an empty room.
At this time, there were still many torn clothes and severed limbs scattered in the room.
In the center of the room were some broken chairs and tables.
This place looks like an office, but it's not quite.
Because there are a lot of miscellaneous items inside.
But it is clear that this existed here before the apocalypse.
The walls, doors, and windows of the room were still stained with blood.
"It seems we're too late. The monster must have left. The bloodstains have dried by now."
Ling stood behind Jiang and looked around at the scenery.
Then he began to carefully observe this room that originated from the apocalypse.
The room was simply furnished, with very few office supplies; the only office tool was a computer.
Ling didn't stand on ceremony and immediately sat down in front of the computer to look up information.
"Can this computer be used?"
He Dong asked curiously.
"I'm not sure, but it looks like it should work. However, it requires a password to boot up, and I'll need some time to crack it..."
Zero answered.
"Don't bother trying to solve it. This room is abandoned. Let's get out of here quickly, or we'll be in trouble if a monster suddenly appears..."
He Dong was clearly terrified and hurriedly said...
He didn't recognize the boy in front of him at all.
Previously, everyone was focused on Lord Jiang and hadn't noticed this young man, only recognizing him as Lord Jiang's subordinate.
And now, this person is spending time here cracking an unknown computer, which he truly cannot understand...
"Hmm, what you said makes a lot of sense. But I still have a feeling that this computer contains some information we need. Don't worry, I've already cracked it..."
The person who set the password clearly didn't put much thought into it, and it seems like they were deliberately letting someone crack it, so it only took a few dozen seconds to open the password.
What document is this?
Seeing that Ling had turned on the computer, He Dong's attention was completely drawn to it, as if he hadn't been the one urging him earlier.
"This is a report on gene virus research, which details the research and improvement of various gene viruses..."
As Ling spoke, she turned the computer screen toward He Dong and Jiang Quan so that they could clearly see what was on the screen.
"Gene virus..."
Upon hearing this word, both He Dong and Jiang Quan felt a tremor in their hearts.
"Gene virus?"
"Yes, it says 'gene virus' here. They are viruses created by modifying mutant genes. They are extremely threatening. However, they also possess powerful self-healing abilities and extremely high intelligence, easily mastering the operating rules of human cells and tissues. They replenish their energy by devouring other life forms. Moreover, they have strong drug resistance, unless they are completely destroyed."
Zero read slowly, then stopped.
Looking at the two of them, Zero said again:
"Therefore, I speculate that the 'monster' He Dong mentioned is very likely a human infected with a gene virus..."
"how so?"
He Dong exclaimed in surprise.
"I don't know either, I'm just guessing."
Zero shook his head.
Is there any other information on the computer?
After a long silence, Jiang Quan finally asked.
"There are a few more emails; we can take a look."
Zero answered.
"Oh...then let's check it out quickly!"
He Dong nodded as well.
"Um!"
Zero responded and then began checking his emails.
"Monsters have begun to appear. But they are not ordinary monsters; they are a kind of anomaly...!"
Ling paused here, then continued reading:
"These aliens possess powerful self-healing abilities, incredible regenerative capacity, and monstrous defensive capabilities. They are humanoid in appearance, yet far more terrifying than ordinary humanoid mutants. Born from a group of mutated beings, they possess extremely high aggression, defense, and regenerative abilities. Their lifespans are incredibly long, but their intelligence is not very high, and they are easily irritable and prone to violence. They have exceptional sensory abilities and will even kill each other; if not stopped in time, they will devour all the humans they kill!"
The first email.
The next one is the second letter—
“I don’t know why such a species would appear in the human world. Perhaps they are remnants of what humans left behind before the apocalypse. I think this monster is also human. Moreover, it is very intelligent and clever. I once heard it speaking, and I suspect that its language is similar to the common human language.”
“We began to study these species gradually, and our research focused on genetic viruses. However, because the timing of their emergence was unknown, our research progress was very slow. But now we have finally made a breakthrough.”
“One of our members has been infected, but we didn’t realize it at first. Maybe he was caught while collecting samples… Now that person’s symptoms are not right. He has become irritable, lethargic, and even somewhat delirious. He also keeps biting his tongue, hoping to alleviate his symptoms with the pain.”
"He was dying. He started self-harming and would growl hoarsely at people like a wild beast. I think he must have been in a lot of pain."
"He remained lucid, and asked us to lock him up and chain him up. He said this was the time he could make the greatest contribution to our research..."
"He ran away... I think he must have completely lost his mind; the chains can't hold him back at all. We need to find him quickly, or the consequences will be unimaginable..."
