Chapter 069 Mad Scientist 1
The cruelty in Shen Ke's eyes suddenly made him stunned.
From his angle, he could just see Jian Ziyan's back as he protected him. He was wearing a white coat and his shoulders were so thin, but he stood in front of him with great determination, protecting him from the falling debris.
"you……?"
Just when Shen Ke had a suspicion in his heart and thought that maybe there was something he didn't know, he saw a scene that shocked him even more.
Jian Ziyan took a deep breath, and suddenly took out a syringe from somewhere, and injected all the medicine in it into his blood vessels!
This action made Shen Ke feel awed, and then he discovered that purple blood threads and blood vessels were rapidly climbing up Jian Ziyan's fair neck, and his slender fingers were gradually turning blue-black, and growing sharp nails.
Everyone who has struggled for a long time in the apocalypse can see that this is clearly... a sign of transformation into a corpse!
What’s going on? What Jian Ziyan injected himself with… could it be a zombie virus?
After all, he was fine just now and there was no sign of corpse transformation!
Any human who is about to transform into a corpse will not have no reaction at all beforehand. Their eyes will bulge out, drool, and their consciousness will continue to fade away, showing signs of unconsciously attacking people.
Jian Ziyan clearly showed no signs of anything just now.
After he injected the medicine, he suddenly turned into a corpse. Could it be that he injected himself with a virus?
Chen Ke's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously wanted to roll over and stand up. He thought he would be hindered, but he didn't expect that he would stand steadily on the ground with a side roll.
There were no external restraints, nor was he feeling weak all over. It seemed that Jian Ziyan had just let him lie there unconscious without doing anything to him.
How... is this possible?!
Shen Ke was in a state of confusion, but Jian Ziyan had already turned into a corpse.
No, it's not a real zombie. Shen Ke observed carefully and came to a conclusion.
Jian Ziyan does have some characteristics of a zombie now, but that’s it, he has not completely turned into a zombie.
Noticing Shen Ke's actions, Jian Ziyan looked over sideways.
It was as if a kaleidoscope was installed in his eyes. When he looked over, it seemed as if countless pieces of glass were shattered and spinning, reflecting colorful and beautiful light under the light.
Combined with his appearance which no longer resembled that of a human, he had a kind of evil god-like allure and strange beauty.
When Shen Ke saw it for the first time, he couldn't believe his eyes.
What on earth did this madman Jian Ziyan do to himself? !
No matter what, Jian Ziyan has now become no different from a zombie. He raised his arm, and a cluster of flames appeared out of thin air in his palm, about to burn this newly born zombie!
However, this strange and colorful zombie suddenly opened its mouth and spoke.
"You are still injured. Don't move and don't force your powers. I will protect you. When we get out, I have something to tell you."
Shen Ke was stunned.
He simply didn't know what mood he was in at the moment.
It is already unbelievable that a person who has turned into a zombie can still speak and retain seemingly complete and clear consciousness, and this person is still talking about protecting him!
Who is Jian Ziyan? Ask any survivor of the apocalypse and you will get a hateful answer.
Jian Ziyan was once a researcher at a national first-level research institute and the creator of the doomsday virus!
He developed a zombie virus and cruelly used his colleagues in the institute as the first batch of experiments, successfully infecting everyone in the institute, and the end of the world was born.
In the research institute that day, only one researcher managed to survive and told everyone about the tragedy.
No one does not hate Jian Ziyan. Regardless of whether he disappears in the end times or not, this name will be permanently engraved on the pillar of shame in human history, and he will be cursed by thousands of people and will never be able to turn over. ▼
So it's no wonder that Shen Ke found these words incredible.
What's more, the injuries on his body were deliberately inflicted by himself in order to confuse Jian Ziyan and lure him into a trap. He was not hurt at all. But how could it become a reason for Jian Ziyan to "worry"?
Chen Ke looked at him inquiringly, completely ignoring the research institute that was about to collapse: "What are you planning?"
He did not tell Jian Ziyan that those people outside were his people, who were here to capture him or kill him.
Jian Ziyan's expression was still very calm. He stretched out his hand and pointed in a certain direction: "The main gate must have collapsed. Going that way will lead to the back door."
Chen Ke couldn't get any answers out of him, his eyes turned dangerous, and he deliberately asked: "You spent so much effort to catch me, and you let me go so easily?"
Jian Ziyan looked at him again, seemingly not understanding why he asked that.
"I didn't arrest you. I wanted to tell you something. I brought you back because I saw you fainted with an injured hand." He said, "Those people outside may be here to kill me. I can't stay like this for too long. Leave now."
Chen Ke was filled with absurdity. How come he had never heard of Jian Ziyan's ability to turn black into white?
He couldn't stand his hypocritical act of seeming to be thinking about him, so he laughed in anger, then without hesitation, strode forward and attacked Jian Ziyan on the back of the head.
The order he received was to try not to kill Jian Ziyan if he could be captured alive.
As a special warfare soldier who had awakened his superpowers, Shen Ke was quite confident in his skills. He did not expect that his attack would be blocked by Jian Ziyan.
Shen Ke looked surprised.
The fragments in Jian Ziyan's eyes spun faster, but even when he saw Chen Ke attacking him, he did not get angry. His expression was calm, and purple blood vessels climbed on his face like a mysterious totem.
Jian Ziyan's expression did not fluctuate at all, but there was an almost calm understanding in his tone.
"You are the one who found the person outside."
"That's right." Chen Ke said coldly, "You can continue to pretend and resist as long as you think you can resist."
Jian Ziyan asked: "Did you let me bring you back on purpose?"
Perhaps because he felt that no matter how hard this person struggled, he would not be able to escape from his grasp, Shen Ke's anger and anxiety cooled down.
He nodded, his eyes as sharp as a knife: "Do you think you can catch me so easily?"
Jian Ziyan's eyes flickered and he withdrew his hand.
Chen Ke didn't realize that the sharp nails that looked like they could break gold and jade didn't even scratch his clothes when they grabbed his arm.
"What do you want me to do?" Jian Ziyan asked, seemingly out of pure curiosity, "Do you want to kill me?"
The anger that Shen Ke had just suppressed began to surface again.
How dare he ask this question? Doesn't he have any idea of what he has done?
This was clearly their first face-to-face conversation. How come I, who was always calm and ruthless, was so impatient in front of Jian Ziyan!
Chen Ke was angry at Jian Ziyan, and also angry at himself. He said no more, with a frightening cold face, and attacked Jian Ziyan directly, wanting to capture him alive!
Jian Ziyan dodged a few times: "If I go back with you, will you listen to me carefully?"
Shen Ke didn't take his words to heart at all, and smiled cruelly when he heard it.
"Of course, when we get back, you can say as much as you want."
However, what he didn't expect was that Jian Ziyan actually stopped.
His sudden stop made Shen Ke's eyes widen in astonishment, and his hands were ready to
He couldn't take back his force, and the powerful palm force, with the supernatural fire, hit Jian Ziyan's chest!
Chen Ke was very aware of the power of his attack. Even if someone was a top-level psychic, if he took it, he would be weak for two days.
But Jian Ziyan did not dodge, but took the palm strike head-on, then flew backwards and fell into a pile of rubble.
Shen Ke was stunned for a moment, then pressed the micro-earphone in his ear: "Yu Hui, stop attacking, Jian Ziyan can't escape."
"Yes, Boss." A steady and reliable voice came from the headset.
Slowly, the shaking wall stopped, and Shen Ke walked cautiously towards the place where Jian Ziyan fell.
Jian Ziyan was not beaten to death directly. He even retained a trace of consciousness. However, his injuries were too severe. He covered his chest and black blood flowed from his mouth.
But there was no pain or anger on his face, and when he glanced at Chen Ke, there was a shocking sense of coldness.
He was no longer able to speak, but Shen Ke somehow understood the meaning in his eyes.
"Catch me."
Shen Ke was silent for a moment, really not knowing what was going on, but he still cautiously grabbed Jian Ziyan.
…
When Chen Ke carried Jian Ziyan, whose hands and feet were tied together and whose lower half of his face was covered with a bite-proof metal mouth seal, out of the research institute and threw him to the ground, it caused a lot of astonishment.
The members of the combat team had already cleared out all the zombies around the research institute. When they saw the real culprit finally appear, they all gathered around.
They all held strong hatred and wanted to see what this devil who created the end of the world looked like, but when they saw him, they all fell silent.
Yu Hui's gentle and handsome face showed some hesitation: "This is... Jian Ziyan?"
Some people even murmured in a trance: "How can someone be so good-looking after becoming a zombie?"
Chen Ke glanced around coldly: "He is not a complete zombie yet, take him back to the base, this is the person the commander wants, don't touch him."
Yu Hui looked at Jian Ziyan, who was curled up on the ground, breathing hard with drooping eyelashes, and hesitated to speak: "...Is he really not going to die before returning to the base?"
"It depends on his luck." Chen Ke said coldly, "If he dies like this, it would be a good thing."
He was not in favor of capturing people alive. He felt that such a dangerous character should be dealt with as soon as possible to avoid any further complications.
However, those who controlled the base still wanted Jian Ziyan alive, so Shen Ke was too lazy to talk to them. Anyway, he positioned himself as a soldier who charged into battle and only needed to obey orders.
Yu Hui said no more. He bent forward, wanting to pick up Jian Ziyan and take him to the car.
As soon as he got closer, Jian Ziyan's eyes, which had been lowered, suddenly opened up and looked straight at him.
In an instant, the fragments spun and the light was bright, attracting all of Yu Hui's attention.
Yu Hui was stunned. He felt as if he had walked into a mysterious world at that moment, his eyes full of amazement.
Fortunately, Jian Ziyan only glanced at him and quickly lowered his eyes, which allowed Yu Hui to come back to his senses immediately.
"Yuhui?" Shen Ke's urging voice came from not far away.
"yes."
Yu Hui agreed, and instead of roughly carrying Jian Ziyan, he held him up sideways, but he didn't dare to look into his eyes again.
After throwing Jian Ziyan into the back seat, Yu Hui hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Boss, what's going on with him?"
"I don't know what kind of drug he injected himself with and it turned out like this." Chen Ke followed and sat in the back seat. He needed to be responsible for watching Jian Ziyan. "I picked up his empty syringe and will give it to Dr. Xu for testing when we get back to the base."
Dr. Xu Guanglei was the only researcher who escaped on the day of the catastrophe, and is now the highest-ranking researcher at the headquarters.
Yu Hui responded, but couldn't help but look at Jian Ziyan, who was lying in the back seat with messy short hair.
Shen Ke looked at him sharply: "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing." Yu Hui covered his eyes and got into the driver's seat.
After nearly a day and a night of travel, they approached the towering walls of the main base.
After revealing their identities and undergoing testing, the group entered the base very smoothly. When they learned that they had successfully captured Jian Ziyan alive, they were immediately treated like heroes.
As soon as Shen Ke carried Jian Ziyan out of the car, he saw a car rushing towards them. It soon stopped in front of them and a young man in a research suit got out of the car.
"Dr. Xu?" Yu Hui called out in surprise, "Why did you come here in person?"
These people, who are extremely important to the base but have no ability to protect themselves, are always under strict protection. Xu Guanglei has been staying in the laboratory of the base and rarely shows up.
"I heard that you have captured Jian Ziyan. I can't wait and want to come over to take a look." Xu Guanglei said with a smile, looking at Chen Ke with admiration, and jokingly said in a familiar manner, "Besides, Brother Chen Ke is here. I'm afraid it's safer here than in the laboratory."
Chen Ke didn't respond, so Yu Hui had to smile and continue: "That's right."
At the beginning, Xu Guanglei was trapped in the basement of a research institute full of zombies. After the apocalypse broke out for many days, he had been out of water and food and was about to die. It was Shen Ke, one of the first people to awaken his superpowers, who went in and rescued him. Therefore, Xu Guanglei had a special liking for Shen Ke, which was something everyone knew.
Their attention was all on Xu Guanglei, so no one noticed that Jian Ziyan, who was already very weak and seemed to be dying at any time, slightly raised his eyelashes and glanced at the famous Dr. Xu.
It turned out to be him.
The little assistant who followed him obediently at first.
No one noticed Jian Ziyan's eyes, except Xu Guanglei himself.
As soon as he met Jian Ziyan's gaze, Xu Guanglei's whole body stiffened for a moment, and a flash of ecstasy flashed in his eyes.
However, he quickly retracted the look, frowned, and acted as if he was seeing Jian Ziyan for the first time, and walked around him in a circle.
"This is Jian Ziyan." Xu Guanglei said, "Has he turned into a zombie?"
"I don't know. This is something you should research." Shen Ke finally spoke the first sentence. He held Jian Ziyan in one hand and looked at Xu Guanglei. "Just hand him over to you, right?"
"That's right... The higher-ups want to see Jian Ziyan right away." Xu Guanglei said with a smile, "They also want to see you, Brother Chen Ke. Would you like to come with me in the car?"
He showed obvious anticipation.
However, Shen Ke did not give him this face at all.
Hearing that the people above wanted to see him, Shen Ke tutted impatiently, threw Jian Ziyan into Yu Hui's arms, turned around and walked out.
"Yu Hui, just take Jian Ziyan to meet them and tell him I'm tired."
He never had the patience to participate in those long and boring meetings, and had no intention of participating in the factional fighting in the base. He just wanted to end this fucking apocalypse as soon as possible.
Those old guys wanted to see him? No, they couldn't fight him, and they were slow to talk. Every time they met, he was very angry.
Looking at his back as he left without any reluctance, Xu Guanglei's eyes darkened for a moment. He subconsciously looked towards Jian Ziyan, but saw Yu Hui looking at the person in his arms in a daze. He didn't throw him out at the first time, and his eyes became even darker.
Why? Why is it like this again?
In the past, everyone's attention was focused on Jian Ziyan alone. Now that Jian Ziyan has become a sinner of all mankind, how can he still easily attract the attention of others?
Obviously, he is also a genius who became famous at a young age and a talent valued by the country. Why should he always be suppressed by Jian Ziyan?
He was unwilling... unwilling!
During the period when Jian Ziyan was absent, he received unprecedented attention and was even hailed as the Star of the Apocalypse. This allowed him to experience the light he deserved and the feeling of living an upright life.
Is it true that just because Jian Ziyan is back, all of this must be taken away?
You've already turned into a zombie, and you're still dreaming?
Xu Guanglei sneered in his heart, but showed a shy smile on his face: "Captain Yu, please bring your people with me."
Yu Hui responded politely, not surprised by his friendly attitude.
After all, everyone knows that Dr. Xu is knowledgeable and has a good temper, and everyone respects and likes him very much.
Jian Ziyan lowered his eyes, ignoring their words, not even caring where he was being taken or what was going to be done to him.
The only reaction he had was when Shen Ke turned to leave, he wanted to stand up and grab his clothes.◇
But he was too weak and couldn't get up at all, so he could only watch him leave.
Xu Guanglei saw this kind of farewell and sneered in his heart.
Of course he couldn't say anything. He just gave Jian Ziyan a subtle, mocking look and took Yu Hui to the administrative building.
…
[Because of his severe physical injuries, Jian Ziyan naturally fainted on the way to the administrative building.
As soon as I returned to the consciousness space, I heard 419's proud voice: "What do you think? The hero of the loveless hero is different from those before, right? You absolutely don't have any chance in this world!"
"It's really different." Jian Ziyan touched his chin, "He's so cool, I love him so much."
419: "? You're not going to even take down the male protagonist, are you?"
Jian Ziyan said righteously: "How can that be possible? I won't take the initiative to do it."
419: Haha.
So it was you who took the "initiative" in the first few worlds?
I have to say, after spending so much time together, the silly but not very sweet little system has been able to understand Jian Ziyan's way of thinking more and more.
Jian Ziyan chuckled: "This is a big challenge, which is good. I like challenges."
When 419 was so angry that he was speechless, he murmured thoughtfully: "A story with no CP and a male protagonist? I don't think so. That guy named Xu Guanglei... let's observe him more."]
Jian Ziyan's transformation into a zombie took everyone by surprise. The senior members of the base, who had been discussing fiercely about who should take care of Jian Ziyan, immediately stood up and backed away when they saw Yu Hui walk in holding the zombie-like Jian Ziyan.
The scene was neat yet a little funny, leaving Yu Hui unable to move forward or backward, and he froze at the door.
One of them shouted, "Why did you bring him here when he's already turned into a zombie! Throw him out right away, and don't forget to shoot him in the head."
Xu Guanglei's eyes flashed with a dark light, and he turned around helplessly: "That's right, Captain Yu, then just shoot him in the head and burn him directly, we don't need a zombie."
"But he hasn't lost consciousness yet, and he still retains his sanity." Yu Hui said something that was like a bombshell, "Perhaps he is still worth studying."
"What did you say?" Xu Guanglei turned his neck suddenly, "Can he still be rational after becoming a zombie?"
"Yes." Yu Hui said affirmatively, and looked at the other executives who were also stunned. "Even so, do you still insist on shooting him in the head?"
After hearing what he said, the eyes of those who originally avoided Jian Ziyan gradually became hot, and they looked at Jian Ziyan as if they were looking at a golden egg.
Can you keep your sanity even after becoming a zombie? Isn't that equivalent to conquering the virus!
This is no different from developing a serum vaccine or something. If they knew what was going on, they would no longer be afraid of turning into zombies!
"Ahem." The senior executive who had spoken earlier cleared his throat. "In that case, Dr. Xu, I'll leave it to you. You must figure out what's going on and popularize this method. Maybe it's the key to solving the end of the world."
"Okay, I'll try my best." Xu Guanglei lowered his eyelashes to hide the resentment and malice flowing in them.
Yu Hui hesitated for a moment, but still said, “According to Brother Shen, his attack power is much stronger than other zombies. He can even block his attacks. Although he is injured now, if he is handed over directly to Dr. Xu… it may not be safe.”
Those who had originally relaxed became nervous again. After a long silence, another person said, "Since it was Chen Ke who captured him, let Chen Ke be responsible for taking care of him. This is precious research material. Don't let him die."
"Hmm? This, this doesn't seem to require the dispatch of Brother Chen Ke." Xu Guanglei said in astonishment, "Just lock him up, I have people with special abilities who are responsible for protecting me..."
"Dr. Xu, you also know what Jian Ziyan means now. We need to
"There is no possibility of any mistakes." Someone said, "The most reassuring person in the world is Chen Ke, so please trouble him to work harder. If he succeeds, it will be a contribution to all mankind."
Xu Guanglei wanted to say something, but these people no longer wanted to listen.
He gritted his teeth and swallowed what he was about to say, his eyes filled with hatred that almost materialized.
Why do you still want to occupy Chen Ke even at this time!
