After hanging up the phone, Kong Sang wiped away her tears: "He will see me. Bring more people with you. This guy is very cunning and will never show up alone."
Wei Shengyi finally showed a slightly better face: "Don't worry, my things aren't so easy to take. But you... crying and whining to other men, have you forgotten how petty Lin Changli is?"
Kong Sang's face stiffened slightly. She turned to meet Lin Changli's expressionless face and whispered, "I just wanted to lure him out. You won't be angry, right?"
Lin Changli pulled her into his arms, his face showing no sign of displeasure: "Of course I'm not angry, I always understand Sangsang."
Kong Sang observed carefully and, seeing that the person really didn't seem angry, breathed a sigh of relief.
Little did they know, Lin Changli's gaze met Wei Shengyi's, his eyes filled with coldness. Of course he was angry, but he would never be provoked by this guy.
Wei Sheng sent someone to handle the matter at the store and took the group back to his own castle.
Everyone waited for Yin Wu to send the address, and also checked the crystal origin information provided by Wei Sheng.
Listening to their back-and-forth conversation, Kong Sang asked in surprise, "So, the crystal is the crystal core? Is the apocalypse really like in the novels, with zombies everywhere?"
Could it be that she is also a mutated zombie, which is why there is a crystal core in her heart? But zombies' crystal cores are in their brains, so why is hers in her heart?
"The apocalypse is not exactly the same as in novels, but the general environment is similar. Kong Sang, do you need crystals related to the development of gene drugs?" Yu Wei thought for a moment before asking.
Kong Sang didn't hide anything: "Well, I don't know if it's because we've done so many experiments, but the blood and sweat that Nie Jingxing and I have poured into this is an indispensable factor for gene therapy."
“Nie Jingxing’s approach was too extreme, and the gene drug he developed had a very high mortality rate, so I became his only victim, and every year I would have all my blood drained.”
"Now that I have betrayed the Nie family, Nie Qu is essentially without raw materials. The crystal mixed into my body's ordinary blood can replace the effects of heart blood. I want the crystal only because I don't want to suffer myself."
As soon as Kong Sang finished speaking, Lin Changli hugged him tightly. Although the others had guessed it beforehand, they were still shocked to hear the truth with their own ears.
Human blood is limited, and death will occur if a certain amount of blood is lost, let alone having all the blood drained... Perhaps Nie Qu has a way to sustain Kong Sang's life, but the pain of having all the blood drained... is it really something a human can endure?
Moreover, it happens once a year...
Si Yu's fists clenched so tightly they cracked: "The Nie family really shouldn't have been allowed to live. Let's find a way to kill them all."
Qi Yun Shen's expression shifted slightly: "So, you're saying that without your blood, the Nie family's gene-enhancing drugs will eventually run out, including those for immortality and domination?"
Kong Sang nodded: "Except for the King, which was developed by Nie Jingxing alone, the factors for every other gene drug are my blood, as are those for the Dominator and Immortality."
“The production of crystals is also very limited. It’s not like we have them all the time in the apocalypse. Nie Qu will definitely take me back. That’s why I didn’t want to openly oppose the Nie family before.”
Qi Yunshen's eyes darkened: "In that case... the Nie family can be killed."
As long as Kongsang is on their side, no matter what Nie Qu wants to develop, there will be no raw materials, which is equivalent to ruining the medicine. As long as they kill the people, they will have no worries.
As long as we protect Kongsang in the future, immortality and domination will not spread, and the apocalypse full of zombies will not come.
Protecting Nie Kongsang is equivalent to saving the world; at this moment, the group completely equated the two things.
Kong Sang didn't care what the others were thinking. He was just a little excited when he heard that they were going to kill the Nie family. He said, "Who should we start killing? I can help hand them the knives."
Lin Changli toyed with Kong Sang's cheek: "How about we start with Nie Yan, who always disgusts you?"
Kong Sang smiled and said, "Okay!"
Kong Sang didn't participate in the rest of the conversation; she gave the phone to Lin Changli and slept soundly in his arms.
She suffers from chronic insomnia and tries to sleep whenever she can during the day, otherwise her body will quickly break down.
She used to not be able to fall asleep whenever she wanted during the day, but ever since she got together with Lin Changli, she can easily fall asleep just by smelling his scent.
Lin Changli carried him horizontally the whole way without feeling tired at all.
Kongsang started talking in his sleep again, but this time the protagonist was someone else.
“An Xiuqi…”
Wei Shengyi raised an eyebrow: "I heard from An Xiuqi that this girl would give her life for him."
Several gazes instantly turned towards them, especially Lin Changli's, which were quite unfriendly.
Wei Shengyi casually crossed his legs and said playfully, "When I said in the car that she had a grudge against An Xiuqi, it wasn't to provoke her, but just to test how much she knew about An Xiuqi."
"When the apocalypse began, I was seriously injured and my genetic mutation level was pitifully low, so I had a really miserable time."
"Later I met An Xiuqi. In order to survive, I voluntarily allowed myself to be controlled. At that time, An Xiuqi was obviously traumatized. He didn't eat, drink or sleep all day and just stared at Nie Kongsang's photo."
Seeing that Lin Changli's complexion was gradually brightening, Wei Shengyi was in a very good mood.
He continued, "I casually asked who this was, and An Xiuqi said it was a vicious little fool who would risk his life for him. He had no reason to lie, so the two of them must be very close."
“In the car, Nie Kongsang didn’t seem to be lying. Considering An Xiuqi’s inhuman ability to send us back to the past, it’s very likely that what happened between the two of them happened in the future.”
“In this timeline, An Xiuqi is already dead, so Nie Kongsang naturally has no memory of what happened afterward. Lin Changli… have you ever thought about whether An Xiuqi, who did so much behind the scenes, would really let go?”
Si Yushuai's face was full of shock: "Damn, what do you mean? An Xiuqi and Sang had that kind of relationship? That's impossible. How did he end up with Yu Wei?"
Wei Shengyi scoffed, "So what if you're together? Has An Xiuqi ever touched you even once?"
Yu Wei's face paled slightly, she pursed her lips and lowered her head, which already revealed the answer. Si Yu gasped, things were getting more and more complicated.
Seemingly afraid that Yu Wei wasn't suffering enough, Wei Shengyi continued to poison her wounds with a half-smile.
“If he had already planned to save Nie Kongsang, then your identity as the true daughter of the Nie family and your healing ability would make you an excellent candidate to protect Nie Kongsang.”
"Si Yuqi Yunshen is in the military and politics, Lin Changli is in business. Your whole group received his kindness in the apocalypse, plus the great kindness of him risking his life to bring you back..."
"When you realize that Nie Kongsang is someone he cares about a lot, you will naturally support her. To put it bluntly, from beginning to end you are just pawns, in order to protect the woman he cares about."
After a moment of surprise, Si Yu's eyes flickered slightly: "What you said seems to make sense, but I still feel like something's not quite right..."
Lin Changli scoffed, "Of course not. He deliberately misinterpreted their relationship to sow discord among us all, just to become Sangsang's only ally."
