The entire area that originally belonged to the underground research institute is now just a huge deep pit, as if a meteorite had fallen here.
Lu Qianzhi fell heavily to the ground while protecting the unconscious Su Mo, and rolled several times. His eyes, eyebrows, mouth and nose were all covered with dust, making it difficult for him to open his eyes for a while.
Su Mo suddenly regained consciousness under this shock. He opened his eyes abruptly and the first words he said were, "Brother Zhao!"
After seeing Lu Qianzhi in front of him clearly, he was stunned for a moment, then he understood something and his whole body froze.
He turned his head inch by inch, staring at the deep pit that suddenly appeared without blinking.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. All the monsters, all the experiments, all the data, were reduced to ashes in the explosion just now, and merged with the dust forever.
Including...people.
"Captain He used himself to block the aftermath of the explosion. Otherwise, we wouldn't have survived. That level of explosion could have affected at least three or four cities." Lu Qianzhi wiped his face and opened his red eyes. "Captain He has already..."
Su Mo suddenly got up and ran towards the deep pit.
There were other people running over at the same time.
Although the car overturned suddenly, the people in the car were not ordinary people, so this level of damage did not cause any damage. Wu Yi was driving the fastest and collided directly with Su Mo.
"What's going on?" Wuyi looked them around. "Why are there only two of you? Where's the boss?"
Su Mo stared blankly at the huge deep pit and walked into it with one step deep and one step shallow.
"Talk? Where's the boss?"
The unintentionally violent voice was wrapped in the wind and sand and carried to the other side of the deep pit.
Except for the unconscious survivor, everyone gathered around: Su Heng, Wen Xi, Lian Riqing, Fang Yunqing...
Lu Qianzhi intermittently recounted to the survivors what happened underground, and everyone remained silent.
Lian Riqing stared at Lu Qianzhi with charming eyes: "Are you saying that the captain is dead?"
Lu Qianzhi pursed his lips. Saying such words once was enough to drain all his courage.
"This is impossible!" Wuyi suddenly roared. He rushed into the deep pit and grabbed Su Mo who was searching for something. "Su Mo, tell me, the boss is not dead! How could he be dead? He is so powerful, even if we all die, the boss will not die!"
Su Mo gently pulled his hand down. Because of the unintentional interruption, he suddenly remembered something. He then released Xiaoxue and started searching in the pit again.
"What are you looking for?" Su Heng came to his side and said in a hoarse voice, "If it's true as Qian Zhi said, Captain He used himself to block the aftermath of the core explosion, then he wouldn't even have left a body."
Su Mo didn't answer. He listened attentively to Xiaoxue's feedback and quickly ran to the center of the deep pit.
Everyone gathered around and saw that Su Mo was planning to dig on the spot, and several people came forward to help at the same time.
After digging about one and a half meters, Su Mo was suddenly stunned.
His hands began to tremble violently, and he slowly reached forward and pulled out a dirty white hairband from the muddy dust.
Only half of the hairband was left. Su Mo had accidentally pulled it off He Sizhao's wrist before. Perhaps it was because he had allocated some extra energy to protect it, but it did not completely turn into powder.
Seeing this half hairband, everyone present fell silent.
Before leaving, Jiang Chuyi personally put the hairband on He Sizhao's hand. They were all witnesses.
Now that Captain He is gone, how are they supposed to explain to Jiang Chuyi?
"Let's go, Su Mo." Lu Qianzhi said softly, "If the circle is here, it means that Captain He should also be here. Since he's not here, it means..."
He didn't finish, but everyone else knew what he meant.
A deep depression and sadness spread among the crowd, and all the soldiers who had gone through mountains of swords and seas of fire with He Shizhao had red eyes.
"I just don't believe it. Tell me this is fake." Wuyi grabbed someone's clothes in a daze. "How could the boss be dead? I won't believe it even if you kill me. I don't believe it."
Su Mo still didn't say anything. He seemed to have received some news suddenly, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"Xiaoxue said she heard the sound of her heart." He murmured.
As soon as these words came out, Lu Qianzhi's face changed immediately: "What did you say? The heart was not blown to death?"
They quickly came to the location Xiaoxue indicated, and everyone worked together. According to the depth just now, they soon dug out what they were looking for.
Seeing the still intact ice coffin and the container containing the heart, everyone's faces changed drastically.
"Is this the doctor's heart?" Wen Xi looked at the ice coffin again, "Is Commander-in-Chief He still alive?"
"The worst outcome has occurred." Su Mo looked at the container with a pale face. The bright red heart inside was beating more vigorously than ever before. "After the core exploded, if the heart was not destroyed, it would only accelerate its absorption speed."
Lu Qianzhi's pupils contracted. "So, when we go back... we'll see a doctor who has evolved into a complete form?"
Everyone looked at each other. Three seconds later, they lifted the ice coffin, picked up the heart, and rushed towards the car in perfect tacit understanding.
Five hundred kilometers away, the main base.
Jiang Chuyi withdrew his gaze from the direction of the research institute as if he had sensed something, and looked up at the sky again.
"That energy is gone," she said. "He Sizhao should have solved this problem. Humans won't continue to transform into zombies."
A low laugh sounded behind her.
"The machine was destroyed, and I was born."
Jiang Chuyi turned around expressionlessly. The doctor, who had grown back his limbs, was staring at her in mid-air, and his smile had returned to its calm and elegant state.
"The results haven't changed at all, and they're even better than I imagined," the doctor said. "Please allow me to make one last invitation to you, my dear Xiaoyi. If you don't listen to me, I'll have to give up being a kind father."
Jiang Chuyi took out the communicator and started sending messages.
A few seconds later, the last message she sent was still from herself: "Can I kill him?", but there was no reply from the other party.
It seemed as if endless energy surged out of the doctor's body, and the shadow hand that had originally clamped him escaped easily. He slowly landed on the ground, and the surging air waves lifted Jiang Chuyi's black hair and skirt.
She ignored the doctor who exuded a powerful aura and continued to fiddle with the communicator.
"Xiaoyi, have you made your decision?" the doctor said softly. "Of course, just like before, I'm asking for your opinion only out of courtesy. You still have to follow Daddy's wishes."
As soon as he thought about it, all the zombies around him moved towards him, retracted their claws and fangs, and turned into the most obedient pets and the sharpest weapons.
The Doctor laughed heartily.
"Yes, that's right. I am the god of the new world. I can control the transformation of species and control the entire world..."
"So annoying."
Jiang Chuyi waited and waited but received no reply, and sent a few more messages but all fell on deaf ears. But at this moment, the person she hated the most was still nagging, which made her furious.
Before the Doctor could finish, she raised her arm and her shadow hand once again tightly grasped the Doctor's throat.
The doctor had an indulgent smile on his face, but just as he was about to say something, his face suddenly turned pale.
He was not able to easily issue control commands to Jiang Chuyi after absorbing the energy of the two people as he had imagined before. Instead, it was as if he had not absorbed all the energy before and was completely unable to resist Jiang Chuyi's power.
"How... is this possible?" The doctor's eyes widened, and he spoke with difficulty. "You clearly still look the same as when you died, so how could your energy surge... so much?"
Jiang Chuyi was still staring at the communicator, making it look like a piece of cake.
No matter how much energy the Doctor exuded in an attempt to shake her off, she always managed to overpower him, just enough.
She didn't let him down, nor did she take back her shadow hand, leaving him hanging on his breath, unable to say anything.
The seemingly extremely powerful doctor was easily suppressed in Jiang Chuyi's palm and could not get out at all.
The humans hiding in the hospital were stunned.
They watched helplessly as the doctor's broken limbs grew back together, and he could command swarms of zombies at will. They thought he was the devil who would destroy the world.
However, this terrifying demon king was controlled by this thin and weak little girl with one hand.
Even though they knew that Jiang Chuyi's identity was not simple, they still couldn't suppress their astonishment when they saw this scene.
Jiang Chuyi couldn't contact He Sizhao, so he replaced him with someone else.
She dialed channel two directly.
A few seconds later, Su Mo's hoarse voice sounded: "Xiaoyi?"
"Let He Sizhao answer the phone." Jiang Chuyi said bluntly, "He dared not reply to my message. I'm angry. No matter what he is doing, let him answer the phone immediately, right now."
Su Mo's voice fell silent for a long time.
"Xiaoyi, something happened here." Lu Qianzhi's voice sounded beside him, "We are heading back. I will explain it to you after we get back."
Thinking of the trembling in her heart just now, Jiang Chuyi frowned, and an ominous premonition came over her. She was keenly aware of something.
"I said, let He Sizhao answer the phone. Don't you understand?" She said word by word, "I don't need an explanation. I need him to answer the phone immediately."
The other side fell silent again. Jiang Chuyi could hear the sound of the car running and the sound of the wind outside the car. She had heard these many times when she was outside and was very familiar with them.
And mixed in with this... was a fleeting sob.
Jiang Chuyi's face froze, and he quickly asked, "Who's crying? Wu Xin? Why is he crying? What happened to He Sizhao?"
"Tell me the truth." There was already a hint of cruelty in her voice. "He Sizhao, what's wrong?"
Faced with Jiang Chuyi's keenness, the other party could no longer hide the truth.
"Xiaoyi, Brother Zhao sacrificed himself," Su Mo said. "In order to stop the doctor from absorbing your core and to save all the surrounding bases, he chose to die with the core, but he still couldn't stop the doctor from absorbing all the energy. If you are still in the base, run quickly and don't let the doctor catch you, otherwise he will evolve into something even more terrifying..."
Jiang Chuyi didn't listen to what Su Mo said next.
The words "Brother Zhao sacrificed himself" kept echoing in her mind, and she was a little slow to figure out what they meant.
"System, what did Su Mo just say?" She asked the only question she could ask now.
After hearing such bad news, the system dared not talk to her.
Jiang Chuyi didn't get an answer. His brain turned around for a few times and his expression became more and more empty.
"Let me run?"
She turned to look at the doctor, who was hanging in the air, unable to die.
