Chapter 28 Civilized Sinner 28
He actually never thought about destroying the world. He just wanted to make a little money, a little more, a little more, and a little more. Everything that happened later was really an accident. :)
Yan Qiusi had a good-looking appearance, and he also cherished the good looks given by his mother. With a little effort, he became a young, promising and handsome entrepreneur on the Internet and was highly sought after.
He is capable, good at making use of everything, and has a smooth life, but these are not what he likes.
He is extremely greedy and his desires are insatiable. Ordinary money transactions can no longer satisfy him. He wants to create a huge storm to stimulate his numb nerves.
Yan Qiusi appears to be an entrepreneur who cares about charity, but secretly he deceives a group of wealthy and powerful people who fantasize about immortality and starts an experiment on immortality.
In fact, he doesn't care about fame or immortality. He is a complete fraud and money-seeking lecher. His purpose in proposing the immortality experiment from the beginning was to make a quick buck and run away.
And at this time, the virus that was born by accident appeared.
He didn't expect that Yan Nan would actually research this kind of thing, but since it has been born, how could he not make good use of it.
Seven years ago, the first year of the disaster.
In the dim hall.
It was not yet late, but the heavy and ornate curtains on all sides had been drawn, blocking out the sunlight.
Only a few small lights were turned on in the hall. Under the dim light, the exquisite furnishings were low-key and inconspicuous. Men and women were walking around in it, and everyone here was wearing a mask and hiding their heads and tails.
Apart from the strange light, everything in the hall was no different from any other banquet. Exquisite meals were placed on silver plates and waiters in black suits were walking around. Everything was normal, except that all the guests were inattentive to the exquisite decoration.
At this moment there was a little commotion, and then the chaos spread quickly like an epidemic.
But the chaos was silent, with only the sound of footsteps echoing slowly.
The waiter quietly left, and all the masked guests looked forward at the same time. At the end of the curved stairs on both sides, a man in black clothes and a strange mask appeared there, carrying a box.
"Everyone." He raised his arms high to both sides, his voice inspiring, "The 'it' we have been looking forward to and waiting for is finally going to witness its birth!"
There was total silence in the audience; everyone just stared at the stage in a daze, their movements unchanged.
The man was not panicked. He seemed to chuckle under the mask. Then he looked to the side. Then the curtain behind him opened to both sides, revealing his figure on a huge screen.
The screen showed the results of an experiment on 'guinea pigs'. After the video was played, the curtain fell and the man stood on the platform again and introduced to everyone, "What we just used is the effect of our latest version of the virus drug, but it is not stable yet. But as long as the research and development organization continues to overcome difficulties and solve this problem——"
The man stopped talking. Although he was wearing a mask, his face seemed to have an exaggerated smile. He raised one arm high and said in a calm voice, "By then, immortality will be within our reach. What will the power of the world mean to us? We will become a new kind of human being."
After a night of revelry, someone woke up to find that the device containing the virus medicine had leaked, and everyone fell into panic.
Everyone panicked and questioned Brother Box, but the man who brought the virus was very calm. He raised his wrist to check the time and said calmly, "It's only been eight hours. We have emergency and effective blocking serum. Don't worry. To be honest, you guys really watched me stay here for a whole night. If something happened to you, would I still be able to survive?"
Everyone felt relieved and followed him to the research institute to receive the serum injection.
But these people ultimately failed to leave the institute.
Unfortunately, his good son happened to ruin everything at this time.
After resolving all of this, Yan Qiusi instructed his confidants: "Pack up your things, prepare for the destruction process, and leave here."
The virus has been leaked, and the secret of this research institute can no longer be hidden. Before leaving, he also secretly reported Yan Nan to the Hound Organization.
But it turned out to be different from what everyone expected. It was just a tiny virus, but billions of people were helpless against it.
On that day, the legendary end of the world came.
Even though Yan Qiusi had all the tricks and a huge fortune, he was powerless in the face of such a devastating disaster.
Zombies swarmed in like a tide, and Yan Qiusi's once extremely reliable bodyguards were now either dead or escaped.
Just when he was surrounded by zombies and forced to the rooftop, and his bodyguards abandoned him and fled.
Just when he had no place to retreat and decided to jump down from the tall building.
Suddenly, all the zombies that were waving their claws and fangs around stopped moving, and the flow of time froze.
He didn't understand what was going on. He looked around blankly. There was no one else around except the zombies. At this moment, a mysterious voice suddenly appeared in his ears, "Do you want to live?"
Yan Qiusi was stunned for a moment, then he looked at the zombie that was less than half a meter away from him and retorted, "Actually, I didn't think much about it. I just don't want to become such an ugly thing in the future."
"Whether you have thought about it or not." The mysterious voice was choked by him, but he said coldly, "Now you have to think about it."
After saying that, a black aura appeared out of thin air. Before he could react, the black aura wrapped in a strange force and forcibly squeezed into Yan Qiusi's body. The mysterious black aura entered Yan Qiusi's mind and bumped around. After a long time, it uttered a laugh, "What a dirty soul."
The entry of the black mass brought him a burst of intense pain. Yan Qiusi covered his head and yelled, "What the hell! Get out! Get out!"
Yan Qiusi felt as if his whole body was run over by a car several times.
He rolled on the ground in pain, scratching his body with his fingers, as if he could get the inexplicable thing out by doing so.
The mysterious black group watched his futile struggle coldly, neither helping nor attempting to speak out to stop him.
After a while, Yan Qiusi finally waited until the pain in his body gradually subsided. He lay on the ground, his eyes dull and he was gasping for breath. His whole body was wet, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
At this time, the mysterious system quietly appeared again and asked calmly, "Now you can calm down and have a good chat, right?"
Yan Qiusi turned his head and closed his eyes, not wanting to pay attention to him.
Heituan ignored his actions and continued to speak, "I understand you. I know the mentality of people like you very well."
"He thinks he's smart, has a vague bottom line, and is above most of his peers. It's fun to manipulate people's hearts and turn the tide."
"But you didn't expect that a small accident could cause such a big impact. Billions of lives were exterminated because of your actions. You are really amazing."
"The villain Yan Qiusi."
What the hell? The man lying on the ground didn't understand his last words, but immediately afterwards, a memory was forced into his brain by the black mass, and there was another burst of severe pain. When the pain subsided, Yan Qiusi found that there was an extra novel in his brain.
He closed his eyes and the things in his mind began to read automatically.
This is an ordinary doomsday upgrade flow. The protagonist of the story was just an elementary school student with a harmonious and happy family before the doomsday suddenly came. One day, the zombie virus broke out, and he awakened his superpowers in the crisis, but he had to take action against his parents who had turned into zombies in order to protect himself. After that, he was alone in the chaotic doomsday, struggling to survive and growing up.
Because the novel appeared directly in his mind, the entire plot was imprinted in Yan Qiusi's mind in just a few seconds. In his view, this was just an ordinary crappy online novel, nothing special at all, if the villain who was defeated by the protagonist in the end was not called Yan Qiusi.
"So? What do you want to tell me?" Yan Qiusi slowly opened his eyes and sat up, looking in the direction of the mysterious black group with a pair of sharp eyes: "Tell me everything I have had in the past few decades? But it's just a few brief mentions in the novel. My life is completely just to serve a novel. Everything I am proud of is just the insignificant background of this villain role?"
"No." The mysterious black group refuted him succinctly, "I have no intention of discussing this philosophical proposition of life and existence with you for the time being. I tell you this only to facilitate the implementation of my next plan."
"I haven't agreed to cooperate with you yet." Yan Qiusi pouted unhappily, but immediately another burst of severe pain exploded from his mind. He screamed and lay back down.
Yan Qiusi was forced to shut up, but the mysterious black group continued to speak calmly, as if it was not the one who had just used violence to suppress the situation.
"You have done too many evil things. You are burdened with so many sins. The will of heaven is always keeping a close eye on you. This kind of attention is not conducive to the implementation of my plan."
The will of heaven? Yan Qiusi lay on his side on the ground and thought to himself. He could not understand this kind of detached thing. But after hearing what the black group said, he immediately felt a terrifying gaze projected on him, but not long after, the gaze quietly left.
"But luckily there is a ready-made scapegoat here." The black group's voice sounded again, "It just so happens that I still have some props that can be used. Look, as long as you make a little change, your fate will be completely changed."
"Don't think about escaping from my control. You are already bound by me. Unless you die, don't think about escaping from me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the book in Yan Qiusi's mind began to turn over by itself again. On the pages of densely packed text, all traces of Yan Qiusi's existence were replaced by another name.
——Yan Nan.
——
[Okay, I have solved your problem. In exchange, you can now complete my mission as your first goal.]
[What, what mission?] Yan Qiusi was not quite used to this way of having a conversation directly in his mind.
[You don't need to know now, just follow my instructions. It's still early, and we just need to wait for the prey to appear.]
…
Six years ago.
In a dilapidated ruin, Yan Nan opened his eyes and got up from the ground.
The cold wind poured in from the broken hole in the wall, making him feel chilly. He shivered subconsciously, and when he looked down, he saw that he had no wounds on his body, but his clothes were torn and hung like rags.
Where is this? He couldn't remember what happened before he fell into a coma. To be honest, he was really lucky. A person fell into a coma in the doomsday with dangers lurking everywhere, but he could wake up again and did not face the fate of being eaten by zombies.
Suddenly, a howling sound was heard, and then a dark shadow rushed towards him. He wanted to dodge, but his body suddenly froze for a moment.
Sweat dripped down his forehead and his heart was pounding, but he could not move and could only watch the zombie open its mouth towards him.
There was a gunshot, and the jumping figure of the zombie paused for a moment, then exploded into pieces and shot in all directions. Yan Nan turned his head to avoid it and raised his hands to cover his face.
There was a sound of footsteps coming from behind.
"Are you okay?"
He put his hands down and raised his head, and in front of him was a man with an ordinary face but a dangerous aura, holding a gun and questioning him.
"I?"
"Yes, my name is Mei Tai. Let me examine you first." The man introduced himself politely, and his voice had an unusual sense of stability when he spoke.
"Oh, okay." Yan Nan replied in a daze.
The man Meitai is one of the most powerful superpowers in the doomsday. He is powerful and kind-hearted. In order to unite humans to fight against the zombies, he is planning to build a solid and powerful base fortress.
Now the base has begun to take shape. After confirming that Yan Nan was indeed not infected with the virus and was still a very capable scientist, Mei Tai brought him back to the base.
But not long after, Mei Tai was replaced by the unknown black group using props. The mysterious black group controlled not only Mei Tai, but also the group was always searching for targets everywhere. Anyone who was useful and easy to control would eventually fall into its hands.
Yan Qiusi had been secretly observing his actions and found that most of those controlled by him were passers-by who had good strength but almost no presence in the novel. His ability seemed to have many restrictions on the characters in the plot, so he used Yan Nan to erase Yan Qiusi's traces at that time, probably to make it easier to control him.
Five years ago.
Zombie epidemic breaks out.
Overnight, Yan Nan was ruined and his reputation was ruined. People gathered to fight the epidemic and asked Mei Tai to expel and execute him, but Mei Tai rejected all objections and kept him in the base. However, he still needed to agree to certain conditions to calm the anger of the people. The city lord gave him a deadline to complete the task.
In a dark dungeon.
The sound of the door opening was heard, Yan Nan looked up and saw a man with his face shrouded in shadow walking towards him, but based on the clothes alone, Yan Nan could recognize who the man was.
"Mei Tai."
The man slowly walked out of the shadows.
His face was serious, different from usual. Yan Nan didn't care about this change. He stood up and asked anxiously, "Can I leave now?"
"Listen to me first." Mei Tai waved his hand, "You can leave for now, but you have to know that the people outside still have a lot of opinions about you."
Yan Nan nodded absentmindedly.
"For your safety, you should not go out for the time being and stay in the institute."
"I understand."
"As for your experimental results, don't show them to us for now."
Four years ago.
The black mass in my mind suddenly let out a strange and happy cry, saying: [It’s finally here. ]
Yan Qiusi didn't understand it at the time, but later he realized that it was the first time that the strange soul that entered Yan Nan's body entered.
Finally, the long-awaited target arrived, but at this time the mysterious black group suddenly became unhurried.
It no longer urged Yan Qiusi to complete tasks all day long, nor would it give him electric shock warnings if he was unhappy with something, which made Yan Qiusi feel a little dazed.
A year and a half ago.
The black group that had been lurking for a long time finally took action.
During that period of time, Yan Qiusi's body was completely controlled by the system. He didn't know what happened exactly, but the black group's plan had obviously failed.
But after the explosion, the alien who possessed Yan Nan escaped, and half of his system 0136 was taken away by the black group, and the other half escaped with the alien.
When Yan Qiusi opened his eyes again, he heard an unprecedented silence in his ears, but the parasitic black mass did not leave his brain. In the battle with the outsiders, it also suffered a lot of losses and its plan failed in the end, because it ran out of energy and fell into hibernation.
During his hibernation, all creatures controlled by the black group were taken over by Yan Qiusi.
One month ago.
Through Mei Tai's body, he saw Yan Nan, who had been repeating monotonous and boring experiments like a robot every day for years, and he finally changed.
And a few days ago, the black mass that had been dormant in the brain seemed to be about to wake up.
In the quiet space, a faint green light flickered in the room. Slowly, a huge black shadow emerged behind Yan Qiusi. The shadow continued to expand, getting bigger and bigger, and finally stopped expanding like a huge balloon that occupied most of the space in the room.
"Long time no see." A familiar voice came from the black group. It sounded no different from before, but Yan Qiusi, who was familiar with him, could hear the forced weakness and discomfort in its voice.
Even lying dormant for so long had not allowed it to recover from the explosion.
It was worth it that he prepared for so long.
Yan Qiusi stared at the huge black shadow, and the smile on his lips gradually widened.
It's time for him to fight back.
No one would be willing to be pushed around all the time, let alone him.
————
Yan Nan fell asleep while thinking. He was swaying in a trance in his dream. A distant call came from his dream. At first, it was so faint that he couldn't hear it clearly. Later, the sound became louder and louder, closer and closer, and clearer and clearer, until he finally heard what the voice was saying -
[Operator AT0306!] He raised his head suddenly, and in front of him was the face of a young man. The man's expression was a little dull, as if he was startled by his sudden awakening, and his raised hand was still suspended in mid-air.
Yan Nan shook off the water in his head and reloaded the important memories. He looked at Yuan Qing and frowned subconsciously, "You're awake."
His voice was distant and cold, and it immediately brought Yuan Qing back to the present from the relationship between them a few years ago.
He withdrew his hand, his voice a little stiff, "Yes."
At this moment, the surrounding walls suddenly shook, dust fell down, and the wailing of zombies rose one after another.
The movement was so great that it seemed as if a hundred or eighty zombie kings were dancing above their heads.
"It's time for us to leave." After saying that, Yan Nan stood up first, followed closely by Yuan Qing.
The passage was very dark. Yuan Qing stared at the familiar shadow. His face was calm, and apart from his extremely pale skin, he looked no different from an ordinary person.
However, Yuan Qing moved his gaze downwards and saw a big hole on Yan Nan's clothes on his chest. As he moved, a bit of pale skin became faintly visible. Yuan Qing had just seen it. The skin was pale and delicate, without a single wound on it, as if the shocking scene he saw before he fainted had never really existed.
But Yuan Qing knew that was not the case. He thought about it and spoke again. "Teacher Yan."
What? Yan Nan turned around to look, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he was interrupted before he could ask.
Boom——!!
There was a loud noise.
Yan Nan looked up in shock——
The walls all around began to break, collapse, and fall.
Thick smoke blurred his vision and he could only see a vague human figure rushing towards him, and then he was pushed to the ground.
There were continuous loud booms, but Yan Nan's surroundings were not affected at all. He guessed that Yuan Qing was able to block all the falling objects with his special powers, so they had been able to live in peace.
After a while, the collapse finally ended, and the thick smoke slowly subsided. Yan Nan helped Yuan Qing, who had fallen on him, up.
The passage has completely collapsed, and the surroundings have turned into ruins. Most of the high dome above has collapsed, revealing a broken shape in the gray sky.
And all around them, countless giant zombies surrounded them.
Light shone onto the two of them through the gaps above their heads, while the giant zombies were still shrouded in darkness, hiding their distortions and deformations.
