Seeing this, Liang Lefu's rare sense of crisis slowly came online.
He stared wide-eyed at the figure slowly walking in.
Unable to move his arm, he could only watch helplessly as Shen Jing fainted.
Just before she collapsed to the ground, the figure that had been at the door was already in front of her. He caught her firmly, casually tossing the "ball of light" in his hands into Liang Lefu's arms.
Unless he was overly aware, Liang Lefu knew that the other party was just using him as a cushion.
Moreover, she was merely a cushion for the "light ball," not Shen Jing.
She glanced at him and saw him gently pick up Shen Jing.
No wonder I didn't recognize Gu Yan earlier.
It turns out he's become a child again...
"Oh no, are you really Gu Yan?"
"Shut up."
He obediently shut his mouth, trying to move his arm, but it wouldn't budge. Even when he tried to use his powers with his fingertips, there was no movement whatsoever; he had absolute control over it.
Asking is pointless; he is definitely Gu Yan.
Otherwise, who else would have such abnormal strength? Even Gu Chen doesn't!
Liang Lefu's gaze, as if seeing a long-lost relative, prompted Gu Yan to sneer, "What were you trying to do just now?"
This question is a bit awkward. "Haha, just now, Ah Jing was about to faint, and I was trying to help her up."
"Awakened fire-type abilities?" Gu Yan could tell at a glance. He controlled Liang Lefu to hand over the "orb of light" before picking up Shen Jing and trying to leave. "Remember to let the bastard out."
Liang Lefu knew that Gu Yan must have guessed it.
But he wouldn't give up, so he stiffened his arm and asked, "You know they're playing us, so why aren't you angry at all? This isn't like you at all. Did they also make you stupid after you became young again?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than he slapped her hard across the thigh.
It's obvious that Gu Yan controlled him to slap himself.
Then she stared ahead with a pitiful look on her face, "Gu Chen wasn't wrong, you've actually become love-struck!"
"Don't even think about hitting on Chen Jing again. You only have two chances now."
Clearly, he has now wasted one opportunity.
If there are any more direct conflicts like this, he will be killed on the spot.
However, he didn't directly turn against him; Gu Yan actually gave him three chances in a very humane way.
"You're nothing like yourself anymore. If it were before, you would have killed me long ago." After saying that, Liang Lefu laughed mockingly.
He did indeed have the memories from the game long ago.
Moreover, with Gu Chen's help, she has a safe zone under his complete control.
Compared to being held back by the Liang family in the game, he is more satisfied here.
Who his subordinates were was none of his business.
Survivors don't care about living in dire straits.
All he needs is his own laboratory!
And when he learned that the world before was just the beginning of the game, he felt that everything was a complete illusion!
Dying again and again, and it was all controlled by someone—anyone would be angry!
But his "friend" didn't seem angry at all; instead, he wanted to protect the instigator. Liang Lefu roared in frustration, "I killed a lot of people in the yard just now; they must have been humans from the real world."
"Do you know what? Killing them will only result in corpses!"
"But in a game, dying once is just a set of data!"
"I am data, and you are data, only she isn't!"
"Gu Chen is right! This high and mighty human is just using you as a fool!"
Gu Yan's expression remained indifferent upon hearing Liang Lefu's words.
He kept pressing his fingertips against Shen Jing's forehead, guiding the turbulent energy for her.
Just like countless times in the game, he would be there to heal her when she was in pain.
"There's one last chance."
After speaking, Gu Yan did not remain still like Liang Lefu.
He carried Shen Jing directly out of the villa.
The villa gate behind them slowly closed, and Liang Lefu's gloomy face could be vaguely seen.
...
As they left the villa, Gu Yan carried Shen Jing and walked at a leisurely pace.
The light reflected from the ground lamps on the road added an eerie touch to the atmosphere of the eternal night.
Although it was pitch black all around, it was definitely daytime.
Voices could be heard coming from some corner, discussing the nutrient solution the lab was about to successfully develop. A hint of mockery flashed across Gu Yan's brow; it was something Gu Chen had created using Liang Lefu.
Liang Lefu does indeed possess his past nutrient solution experiment documents.
But now it seems that, as Liang Lefu said, the game was indeed entirely controlled by humans.
These experimental documents are meaningless; it's just that Liang Lefu, as his former colleague, would possess this "skill."
Gu Chen must have known this all along, which is why he thought of using Liang Lefu.
They're so stupid they don't even realize it; they deserve to be taken advantage of.
Does someone telling you that you're data mean you should immediately rush to create a set of "data"?
Gu Yan disdained this.
He was certainly angry, but he also knew exactly what he wanted.
He had always understood what it meant to be a walking corpse in the decades-long cycle before Shen Jing existed...
He never wants to go through it again!
“Ah Jing, I don’t hate you.” Gu Yan easily pulled Shen Jing close and whispered in her ear, “Only you can I give you countless chances, provided that you don’t disappoint me again.”
When he spoke the word "disappointment," his tone was cold and distant.
Whether Shen Jing heard him or not, she shrank back slightly in his arms.
We walked like this for about five minutes.
Then I heard a noise coming from the laboratory behind me.
"Oh no! How did the finished nutrient solution end up outside?"
The whispers in the darkness suddenly fell silent.
Especially upon hearing the words "left outside," several hurried footsteps echoed in the darkness. It seemed these were survivors trying to scavenge for any remaining supplies; they must have known about the nutrient solution for a while, and no one doubted its effectiveness.
Yang Muyi and the others did the same, rushing towards the laboratory along with the other residents of the apartment building.
After the children got to know each other, the adults naturally shared the information with each other.
As we talked, I learned that these people living in the residential buildings were not ordinary people; they were all once prominent figures in the business world. Before this safe zone was built, the villa area was their residence.
Later, after those thugs came and occupied the area, they were driven into the residential buildings.
There was no electricity or water back then.
There were no ground lights, and the surroundings were pitch black.
Later, a group of people dressed in black or white arrived.
Then, a dramatic change occurred... and the nutrient solution was the meat hanging in front of the survivors.
They never considered rebelling against Gu Chen's rule.
Even though the laboratory occasionally takes away some ordinary survivors.
None of the survivors survived; there will be no further news of them.
Because the "nutrient solution" is indeed a boost for them!
