Li Mai and Zhou Quan listened quietly. They knew some of these things, some of which they had read in books, and some were briefly mentioned in the book "The End of the World," but not as reasons for the end of the world.
It seems that the author of the book did not dare to write according to historical facts.
Only after Gu Zhe explained it to them in such detail did they understand what had happened.
"What does the apocalypse have to do with Luo Ying? And what is my relationship with Luo Ying? Didn't you say before that I was created because of Luo Ying? Also, now that the two of us are here, what does it have to do with what you're saying?" Li Mai said calmly.
She didn't know what Gu Zhe had said about the cause of the apocalypse; she just wanted to know what his and Zhou Quan's connection was to these things.
"Because one of the research organizations that caused the apocalypse was our ancestors. The reason why our ancestors were able to research how to change human physique, improve human physical function, and even generate superpower genes was because they accidentally obtained Luo Ying's blood and learned about Luo Ying's identity as an ancient second-generation divine beast. They used his blood to research that kind of medicine."
"It was also because of their research direction that they failed to eliminate the savage and violent genes belonging to wild beasts in Luo Ying's blood. Although people who took that drug became powerful superhumans, they also became bloodthirsty, causing countless deaths and injuries to humans at the beginning of the apocalypse."
"Knowing their sins were grave, the ancestors wanted to find Luo Ying again and draw his blood for further research, but they never found him again until he reappeared a hundred years later. By then, the world was in ruins, and those mutants who had taken the drug eventually died at the hands of wild beasts, turning those beasts into mutant beasts."
"These beasts were also awakened to their bestial nature by the powerful beast genes in Luo Ying's blood. More than three hundred years after that world, mutated beasts emerged that cultivated into human form and had human thoughts, ruling that chaotic world."
"In short, during those hundreds of years of the apocalypse, the number of humans dwindled while the number of mutated beasts and zombies increased. Generation after generation of our ancestors kept trying to find Luo Ying again, wanting to use his blood to conduct research, hoping to develop a medicine that could truly make humans stronger, eliminate mutated beasts and zombies, and end the apocalypse."
"But hundreds of years have passed, and they have never found any trace of Luo Ying again. It wasn't until your grandfather joined the research organization that they received news of Luo Ying again. However, by this time, Luo Ying was very powerful and showed signs of dominating those mutated beasts."
"Humans naturally don't want him to become the leader of those people. If he becomes the leader of the mutated beasts, then we humans will really be wiped out. After all, we also know from some internal records that he was captured by many scientific research organizations to have his blood and flesh extracted for research. He almost died several times. He wished he could wipe out all of humanity."
At this point, Gu Zhe glanced at Zhou Quan silently, then turned his head away.
Zhou Quan's eyes remained cold as he spoke, and a chilling aura emanated from him.
Gu Zhe wasn't afraid of him at this moment, since he hadn't awakened his beast bloodline yet and wouldn't suddenly attack him.
Li Mai silently watched Zhou Quan's back. So this is how pitiful he was. What good is living a long life? No one loves him. They all want to draw his blood, research medicine, and train someone more powerful to defeat him or even eliminate him completely.
“Our research base has been tracking him for over a decade, but we still can’t get his blood. Later, someone found out from our ancestors’ records that our Li ancestors once gave our descendants a drug that could suppress Luo Ying’s bloodline. This bloodline has been passed down from generation to generation because we were worried that Luo Ying would take revenge on our Li clan.”
"But by the time it came to my father's generation, that bloodline wasn't as strong anymore, and it couldn't withstand Luo Ying's revenge. In the end, they decided to research and create a transgenic ability user with our Li family's bloodline genes. Such an ability user would be very powerful, to see if they could restrain Luo Ying. After that, you were born. You were researched for ten years before you were created, and then you grew up slowly like a baby."
"After you turned six, they tried taking you to some of the areas where Luo Ying frequented and leaving you there to see if it would attract Luo Ying's attention. Perhaps it was fate that brought you together, because Luo Ying actually appeared and curiously squatted down next to you to observe you."
"That's how our organization captured him. After that, I think you both have memories now. As for your past memories, you were probably both drugged and lost those memories."
After Gu Zhe finished speaking, he felt Li Mai and Zhou Quan staring at him intently. He smiled bitterly and said, "As it turns out, Luo Ying is indeed not someone we can control. In the end, that base was also destroyed by his strange fire."
"Fortunately, our ancestors in the Li family made preparations in advance. After my death, your mother, your grandmother, and I had our souls attached to a chip, waiting for an opportunity to be reborn, and we will also have all our memories. You should know that high intelligence is the greatest asset of our Li family."
"However, we did not expect that something would go wrong. The era we were reborn into is a time and space that did not exist in history, and all the preparations we made before were useless."
"Those scientific instruments I hid in my space have all become a pile of scrap metal, completely useless." Gu Zhe shook his head as he said this.
Li Mai was silent for a while, and after processing what she had to say, she said coldly, "Then what about me? How did I come into this world? How did you know I came into this world? And how did Grandma appear in my life and become my grandma?"
It turns out that he was just bait they had developed to catch Luo Ying, a big fish, and he had taken the bait.
“I didn’t know you and your grandma were here at first. It was your grandpa who told me in a dream one day. I didn’t believe it at first, so I secretly came to see you a few times and finally confirmed that it was indeed you and your grandma.”
“My dear, Daddy didn’t lie to you. In that world, we were not in control of our own lives, but now we have been reborn. Daddy is very happy to see you, and Daddy only hopes that you can live a happy life.”
Li Mai glanced at him indifferently, noticing the story of her grandfather appearing to her in a dream.
At that moment, she wondered if her grandfather was the one who was pulling the strings behind all of this.
So, Grandpa didn't actually die back then?
Unconsciously, she recalled that she had successfully escaped the fire and been sealed away for a hundred years, which happened to be the time when Luo Ying fell asleep and the time when he woke up.
