It looked like glasses, but not quite. On his left cheek, there was a glittering golden object, like some kind of golden gemstone, which looked dazzling, like a gold coin embedded in his face, sparkling brightly.
On his forehead was a strange tattoo, which looked like a snake and was somewhat ferocious and terrifying.
The first impression they got from him was that he was very strange, and his aura was also very frightening, which made Zero secretly wary.
Who are you?
Zero looked at the man and asked in a deep voice.
The man smiled upon hearing this, but ignored the two of them and walked straight toward He Dong, patting He Dong on the shoulder as he did so.
"You're very good."
"?"
He Dong was taken aback.
"They told you before that you were infected with a genetic virus, and that's true."
The man said with a chuckle.
"What do you know!?"
He Dong raised an eyebrow and asked with some surprise.
"Well... it's alright to tell you... Aren't you curious why you've forgotten so many things, yet you're still able to retain your humanity after being infected?"
Before He Dong could answer, the man continued:
"It's very simple. Because of your special constitution, although you came into contact with the gene virus, your own immune system is constantly fighting against it and resisting its erosion, which has prevented you from losing your mind. This has also allowed the gene virus to subtly modify your body... But... the gene virus is still in your body and will flare up from time to time. As for the reasons for the flare-up, there are many... In your case... emotional outbursts, anger, extreme mental breakdown, etc., could all lead to your gene mutation, turning you into a ruthless monster."
“There are many cases like yours in our base, and... we have also developed a way to alleviate it. Your current condition is the result of our research—caused by laser elements.”
As he spoke, he took out a gun from his pocket. However, unlike other guns, this one was very short, like an ordinary toy gun.
"This is a laser gun that can emit laser elements, which will neutralize the genetic virus in your body, alleviate your madness symptoms, and restore your sanity."
Ling and Jiang Quan exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
The man's words, combined with He Dong's sudden return to his senses, form a series of clues. Once these are put together, the outcome is predictable.
Why are you telling me all this? What are you trying to do?
He Dong stared into the other person's eyes and asked coldly.
"Hehe, don't worry, I just want to invite you to our base."
The man chuckled and said.
"Go to the base? What would you do at your base?"
Jiang Quan quickly asked.
"Hehe, naturally he'll cooperate with us in our research on gene viruses. After all, he's our base's only hope right now! The reason we sent me here is because his genes are quite unique. However, we can be certain that his genes are absolutely outstanding; it's just that he's too young and hasn't reached his optimal development yet. Now, his genes are mixed with a gene virus, causing a mutation. We can use this opportunity to help him grow rapidly, and then use him to completely eliminate the gene virus. That way, our research will be truly a great success! At that time, he will be a great hero!"
The man said with a smile.
"You want me to help you?"
He Dong frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.
The man nodded.
"Yes, our research has entered the most critical stage, which requires a large amount of experimental materials. The prerequisite for all of this is that we must find a human with excellent genes like you. Otherwise, even if we succeed in our research, it will be meaningless. So you are the only choice. I believe you can understand that everything we are doing now is only for our future."
"The future? For your future? Heh, what a grand theory. Unfortunately, I'm not interested in any of that. I just want to ask, why should I go to your base? Is it merely to help you research genetic viruses?"
He Dong chuckled a few times and said.
"The reason is simple: you're infected. Only we can keep you human! Or... do you want to become a bloodthirsty, ruthless monster?"
The man's face instantly darkened, and his tone became sharp.
He Dong's expression gradually turned cold, and he said with a sneer:
"Are you threatening me?"
