Seeing that Chen Ke was not speaking and was observing an isolation container with his back to him, Li Ruichun walked towards the table where the pistol was placed and continued, "Don't you want to become a hero that everyone admires? To become the savior of the apocalypse and the master of mankind?"
"Did you say the same thing to the people in Team A?" Otherwise, Chen Ke couldn't understand why they, with such high levels of superpowers, would still obey the government.
"Ha, they, they're not like you." Li Ruichun took a step forward and finally got his pistol. He smirked and pointed the gun at Chen Ke without hesitation.
Chen Ke, holding a test tube, calmly turned around and said, "You don't actually think you can kill me with a gun, do you?"
“I can’t sense any superpowers from you. What ability do you have to dodge my bullets?” Li Ruichun said smugly.
"You can ask me directly what my abilities are, but you can't try to find out in a roundabout way. Don't use these methods to show off your self-righteous intelligence."
Chen Ke took a step forward, but in an instant he stood in front of Li Ruichun.
Shock flashed in Li Ruichun's eyes, and his hand trembled so much that he almost dropped the gun.
But he is, after all, a brain evolutionist. Although his level is not high, his brain cell activity is hundreds of times that of an ordinary person.
He immediately calmed down, and various guesses flashed through his mind about the abilities of the person in front of him. Just yesterday, he had met someone who claimed to have spatial abilities, but there was no fluctuation of any special power.
However, he could tell at a glance that the person was lying. His eyes were like sophisticated instruments, and the person's mental strength and physical energy were no different from ordinary people. It was impossible for him to have any special abilities.
As for his amazing spatial abilities, they were indeed real. However, Li Ruichun suspected that they were brought by something else. He originally planned to interrogate him directly through torture, but the commander disagreed.
The old man still didn't believe him, fearing that he might misjudge and lose that magical space.
It was also because his experiment had reached a critical moment; otherwise, he would have dissected and examined that person long ago.
He felt that this person was unusual from beginning to end, but he couldn't figure out anything useful.
"Aren't brain-evolving individuals very clever?"
With danger looming, no matter how fast Li Ruichun's mind worked, he couldn't change his inherently weak and incompetent nature.
No, no! There's still a chance! Li Ruichun was overjoyed at the thought.
But he didn't show it on his face. "What do you want? I can give you anything I have, even the entire safe zone. Look at your strength, I have brains. If we join forces, not only this small safe zone, but the whole world will be under our control!"
Chen Ke put his hand on Li Ruichun's neck. "Are you saying I'm brainless?"
Li Ruichun felt a sudden chill on his neck, and couldn't help but shudder.
How can a person's body temperature be so low?
...Unless he's not alive!
In the blink of an eye.
The term "super-advanced zombie" suddenly popped into Li Ruichun's mind. When he was researching level 3 zombies, he had a flash of inspiration and wondered if it was possible to be even higher than level 3.
However, he immediately dismissed this argument, stating that the current level of evolved beings on Earth was insufficient to produce a zombie higher than level three.
But now Li Ruichun feels that he drew that conclusion too early.
"Huh? Why are you shaking?"
Chen Ke's voice was right next to her ear, but Li Ruichun couldn't feel a single breath of warmth from his breath.
He nervously swallowed, his grip on the pistol looking ridiculous as he held it up, yet he couldn't bring himself to put it down.
For the first time since becoming a brain evolutionist, Li Ruichun felt genuine fear—the fear that none of the methods he had devised would be effective against this person.
"What exactly is your purpose? I will do everything in my power to help you achieve it."
As soon as Li Ruichun finished speaking, the electronic display screen at the door suddenly lit up, and Lei Boxiu's face appeared on it.
"Doctor, how much longer? We just received a message from the commander, ordering us to do everything in our power to eliminate that level-three zombie. The Minister of Security has unfortunately been killed."
Seeing that Chen Ke was also looking at the electronic screen, Li Ruichun seized the opportunity and, without saying a word, pulled the trigger, firing a shot at a device on the wall.
With a loud "bang!", as the device shattered, a cloud of smoke suddenly filled the room, obscuring the view.
At the same time, Chen Ke's hand suddenly went empty, and a space appeared beneath Li Ruichun's feet, into which Li Ruichun fell directly.
Almost the instant he fell in, the floorboards closed up again.
Chen Ke stomped his foot on the steel plate; it was very thick.
However, this should be Li Ruichun's last stronghold.
Just now, when the system went to talk to Xiao Wu, it accidentally discovered that the underground space here should be much larger than the laboratory. Its ventilation, drainage and power supply are completely mismatched with the laboratory's capacity.
Chen Ke was also very curious about what the remaining large space was used for.
"You should send those people outside away first."
Outside, Reber was anxiously waiting. Fortunately, Xiao Wu came out and told them that the doctor wanted them to go help the commander first. After receiving permission, the five of them quickly took the elevator to the ground.
The five people, preoccupied with their thoughts, failed to notice the rolled-up metal sheet on the top of the elevator; otherwise, they would not have left the underground laboratory without hesitation.
Following the system's instructions, Chen Ke forcibly broke open the exit door leading to the next floor.
The space below was indeed very large, and Chen Ke was still shocked by what he saw.
The glass jars were neatly arranged on shelves that stretched for hundreds of meters, with at least tens of thousands of jars on each shelf.
Each shelf is connected by a black pipe, making it look like countless gourds growing on a vine.
The glass jars contained nothing but blue liquid, but they looked like containers for cultivating something.
Behind the glass jar shelf was the central control panel, where Li Ruichun was currently frantically drawing a drug reagent into a syringe.
The reagent was still a semi-finished product, but he didn't have time to worry about that.
If the reagent is successful, he will possess the superpowers of everyone in Team A; if it fails, he will likely become a highly intelligent zombie.
Either way, it's better than dying at someone else's hands.
Li Ruichun looked at the bright red reagent in the syringe, glanced at Chen Ke who had just appeared, and without hesitation, pricked his arm and quickly pushed the medicine in the syringe.
"Hahaha, do you know what this is? This is a super gene extracted from the members of Team A. With it, I can have all their abilities. Then, combined with my brain—"
"Sorry, I want your brain."
Li Ruichun's words came to an abrupt end.
Before he could react, his gaze suddenly rose higher. He looked at Chen Ke, who was right in front of him, his eyes darted around, and then he looked down in disbelief.
His body had already slumped to the ground, his neck a bloody, mangled mess.
!!
This person actually ripped his head off alive?
