Chapter 076 Mad Scientist 8
In the school's research room, the young Shen Ke saw the young Jian Ziyan for the first time and was a little stunned.
The boy, who was only fourteen years old, wore a white coat used for experiments. He had a delicate face and a cold temperament. He held a test tube and a beaker between his slender fingers. He seemed to have become a part of the laboratory. The picture was so beautiful, but it didn't seem human at all.
Shen Ke suddenly remembered the rumors that had been circulating in the laboratory these days.
"Brother Shen, have you heard? The teacher has just accepted a genius freak, he is only fourteen years old, but he is so cold that he doesn't look like a living person."
"That's right. He doesn't even respond when you talk to him. Geniuses are amazing. Everyone who can enter our laboratory is a genius. Brother Shen, you also entered at the age of sixteen, and you are not much worse than him."
"Have you ever looked him in the eye? I don't understand. He's so handsome, but when I look into his eyes I get cold all over..."
"I know, I know. I saw him too. He can't be a robot, right? He doesn't look like a living person at all."
From these scattered discussions, Shen Ke was able to discern the characteristics of this new junior fellow apprentice.
Fourteen years old, cool, talented, and good looking.
Even though he had already formed a simple impression of Jian Ziyan in his mind, when he actually saw him, he realized that those rumors were not enough to describe one-tenth of Jian Ziyan.
In their laboratory, no one has ever caused such a high level of discussion as soon as he arrived. Chen Ke was originally curious about this person, and when he saw the real person, his curiosity reached its peak.
So he ignored the icy aura around the young man, strode into the laboratory with his head held high, and extended his hand to Jian Ziyan.
"Hello, my name is Chen Ke. I came here a year earlier than you. You can just call me by my name."
The boy who looked like an ice spirit was just carefully recording the numbers in his hand, as if he didn't hear his voice.
Shen Ke raised his eyebrows, but did not give up. He naturally withdrew his hand and moved his eyes to the experiment the other party was doing.
This is a very difficult experiment. From the selection of experimental materials to every step in the experiment, any mistake will have a huge impact on the experimental results.
This experiment is quite daunting, and many senior researchers in the research lab have failed here.
Shen Ke watched the boy's actions, and the more he watched, the more his eyes changed.
The boy's movements were not large, but none of them were unnecessary. His eyes and brain were like a ruler and a scale, and each move landed at the most precise place.
Shen Ke asked himself if he could do it?
The answer is that he can't.
Originally just out of curiosity about a fellow genius, after seeing Jian Ziyan doing experiments, Shen Ke was inevitably attracted.
As a genius in the same field, he was proud of his talent and naturally had his own arrogance. From the initial curiosity, to the joy of meeting a worthy rival, and then to the admiration that made him want to get close to his opponent, he digested his emotions very quickly.
Then everyone gradually discovered that beside the monster-like Jian Ziyan, there was a dazzling person like the sun, Chen Ke.
Even at Shen Ke's special request, the two of them were assigned to the same project.
Even so, Jian Ziyan did not show any special attitude towards Shen Ke until that day.
As the two most outstanding students under Zhang Wenxuan, what is entrusted to them is an important experiment that is both difficult and dangerous.
Jian Ziyan certainly knew that this experiment was dangerous, but he didn't care. He calculated the probability of the danger occurring, and then continued the experiment without taking any protective measures.
It was Shen Ke who discovered his behavior. After being scared out of his wits, he took the initiative to do more work, while providing additional protection for Jian Ziyan, he also made the experimental process more stable.
The means are clever and he finds a different way.
It also successfully earned Jian Ziyan's first serious look.
Everyone said that Jian Ziyan's eyes were like black holes, cold and deep, as if they could swallow everything.
But Shen Ke felt as if he saw a clean and unique soul.
"Thank you." This was the first time Jian Ziyan took the initiative to speak to him, "That's a great move."
From then on, the one-sided following turned into a two-way running. Even though the rumors against Jian Ziyan never decreased, it never affected the relationship between them.
From school to a national-level research institute, they have always been the best partners and companions, recognized by both parties as the only people qualified to be by their side.
But gradually, other elements began to join Chen Ke's feelings.
He could no longer simply regard Jian Ziyan as a friend and companion. He desired more and more, but he understood Jian Ziyan and knew that he could not have feelings for anyone. Therefore, he suppressed his emotions and communicated with Jian Ziyan in a state of peace and comfort.
There will not be anyone beside Jian Ziyan except him, and no one will treat other people the same way as him. Chen Ke feels that this is enough. He is the only person who can be by Jian Ziyan's side. It doesn't matter what kind of feelings they have.
He knew that he was the most special one in Jian Ziyan's heart, and that was enough.
These memories with a scent of sunshine quickly passed through his mind, and Shen Ke fell to the ground. He was bleeding all over, his ears were buzzing, and he could not hear what the people around him were shouting. He just felt as if his head was hit by a heavy hammer.
For a moment he was extremely confused and couldn't distinguish between memory and reality.
He felt something wet and sticky on his hand, and raised it somewhat woodenly. The red color on it irritated his eyes.
……Blood?
Whose blood is it?
He's bleeding, and...who?
Chen Ke slowly raised his eyes and saw Jian Ziyan lying on the ground, already unconscious. The dagger stuck in his chest made him shudder all over and his expression instantly turned crazy.
“No…No!”
A crack appeared in his memory again, and familiar yet unfamiliar scenes flooded in.
A stranger suddenly broke into the laboratory, pointed a gun at Jian Ziyan's chest, his eyes instantly turned red, Jian Ziyan fell to the ground because of dodging, and he went crazy and poured highly corrosive liquid on the assailant's head...
What's going on?
Didn't he save Xiao Yan? Didn't that man not hurt Xiao Yan?
Why is there so much blood!
This is not his blood, it is Xiaoyan’s blood...
Countless voices appeared in his mind alternately.
"Xiao Yan, you look very beautiful when you smile, can you smile at me?"
"Xiao Yan, you can actually answer other people's questions now, that's great, if you keep going like this, you'll be more popular than me."
"Xiao Yan, don't care what those people say, just be yourself, you have me."
"Xiao Yan..."
"Xiao Yan..."
"ah--"
Chen Ke had a splitting headache. He held his head, knelt on the ground, bent over in pain, and protected Jian Ziyan under his belly, roaring in pain.
Even at this time, he remembered to use his body to protect Jian Ziyan. Once he noticed someone trying to snatch Jian Ziyan, he would fight back!
He was like a lone wolf who had lost his partner, a madman who had fallen into madness. His only thought was that Xiaoyan was injured and he had to protect him.
All of them are the ones who hurt Xiaoyan. They are the ones who made Xiaoyan like this!
Kill them...Kill them!
Those who dared to step forward, including Yu Hui, were all knocked back. After their breath became weak, no one dared to approach these two people anymore.
Xu Guanglei was also stunned by the situation and felt panic in his heart.
How could he make any supernatural potion? The wanted order issued by the base was full of instructions to capture Jian Ziyan alive, just to let Jian Ziyan make the potion!
The reason why he dared to torture Shen Ke so arrogantly was because he had just confirmed that Jian Ziyan could indeed be saved. As long as Jian Ziyan was not dead, then let Xu Guanglei vent his old hatred, and those people above would turn a blind eye.
But I didn't expect that this idiot Jian Ziyan would actually commit suicide for Chen Ke!
He is doomed to die, so what should he do? He is a thing that can only cause trouble instead of help!
Isn't he a monster without emotions? Why is he acting so affectionate now? He's ruining everything for him!
Xu Guanglei gritted his teeth and ordered loudly in a leaky voice: "He has gone crazy! What are you waiting for? Kill him quickly! If you accidentally hurt me, can you bear the consequences?"
But those who dared to come forward just now were attacked so badly indiscriminately, how could others dare to continue to come forward?
Seeing that Shen Ke seemed to have lost his mind, Xu Guanglei's heart moved and he touched a tube of medicine in his pocket.
This is the potion that Jian Ziyan had injected before, which can turn people into his puppets. Jian Ziyan didn't work at that time, maybe because he was in a corpse state at that time, but Shen Ke was not! He was just an ordinary person, and the potion must work!
Seeing that no one dared to approach Chen Ke again, Xu Guanglei took a deep breath, slowly approached, and said loudly: "Chen Ke, look carefully, it's me! Jian Ziyan is not dead yet, only I can save him!"
He knew what Shen Ke's only weakness was, so he moved Jian Ziyan out without hesitation.
Seeing that Chen Ke was just lying on the ground and not attacking him, Xu Guanglei's eyes lit up with joy. Relying on the fact that he couldn't see, he showed a vicious look and approached with the syringe, ready to stab it into Chen Ke's body!
However, his hand was held tightly.
What kind of physique is Shen Ke? Even if he was seriously injured, he just exerted force and broke Xu Guanglei's wrist bone.
The syringe fell to the ground. Xu Guanglei
Let out a howl of pain.
"What are you waiting for! Come over and stop him! Chen Ke, Chen Ke, are you crazy? If you kill me, who else can save Jian Ziyan!"
The rest of his words were stuck in his throat as Shen Ke slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with fear.
What a pair of eyes, scarlet and crazy, yet still showing human emotions, as if a person had a pair of beast's eyes, the cruelty in them seemed to tear him to pieces in the next second.
"No one can save him except you?"
Because of the heart-wrenching roars just now, Shen Ke's voice became hoarse and low.
Hearing him say this, Xu Guanglei knew that he still had some rationality left, and a hint of joy flashed across his eyes.
"That's right, I'm the only one who can save him, please let me go, let me go..."
The severe pain from the broken wrist made Xu Guanglei's voice lose its arrogance, and he pleaded with tears streaming down his face.
He didn’t see Shen Ke’s cold eyes, he only heard his weird tone: “How can you guarantee that you can save him?”
Xu Guanglei didn't know that Shen Ke had recovered his memory, and he quickly brought out the research that brought him glory: "...These are all my research! Among them is the potion that can save Jian Ziyan. If you kill me now, no one will be able to make it!"
"Yeah?"
Xu Guanglei only heard this voice that seemed to come from the abyss, and then his neck was strangled hard and he could no longer speak.
In the silence, he heard Shen Ke ask.
"Your guarantee is to use Jian Ziyan's research to prove it?"
Xu Guanglei's desperate movement to pull Shen Ke's wrist suddenly stopped. He looked over with trembling eyes and saw a cold and hateful face.
"You..." Did you remember everything?
Chen Ke threw him heavily to the ground and said in a voice that everyone present could hear: "You thought I had lost my memory, and no one believed Jian Ziyan's words, so you unscrupulously claimed all of his unpublished research as your own, and then relied on this glory that did not belong to you to enjoy special treatment in the base and act arrogantly. Xu Guanglei, when you did this, weren't you afraid of being punished by God?"
As he spoke, the people around him were stunned, and Xu Guanglei was also stunned.
There was a loud bang in his head, and all he could think of was two words: It's over.
The sounds of discussion around him reached his ears.
"What...I didn't expect Dr. Xu to be this kind of person?"
"He himself has no talent, so why must he rely on stealing Jian Ziyan's research results to establish himself as a person? Oh my god, his image has really collapsed."
"No wonder he couldn't make the supernatural potion that Jian Ziyan could make... It turns out he just doesn't know how to make it."
"No... no!" Xu Guanglei was timid and shouted at the others, "How can you trust this lackey? He must be speaking in Jian Ziyan's favor!"
"I will speak for Jian Ziyan, but Professor Zhang Wenxuan will never speak for Jian Ziyan." Shen Ke's cold voice broke Xu Guanglei's last straw, "Professor Zhang has arrived at the Eastern Base. If necessary, he can get in touch with them at any time. Do you have any other reasons to make up, Master Xu Guanglei, brother?"
The Professor Zhang Wenxuan he mentioned completely shattered all of Xu Guanglei's hopes and also shattered the doubts of others.
Professor Zhang was a world-famous figure before the end of the world. He was upright and incorruptible, and would not be swayed by any power or influence. No one would disbelieve what he said.
"Teacher?" Xu Guanglei fell to the ground, mumbling with lifeless eyes, "He is not dead?"
"Even if you die, your teacher will not die. He will live a long life." Shen Ke said coldly.
"It's over... It's all over."
At this point, Xu Guanglei knew that he had no chance to struggle anymore. He sat on the ground blankly, with no expression on his paralyzed face. He just kept repeating these two words dully.
Yu Hui, who had finally recovered his breath, limped over with an expression of disbelief and shock on his face. He looked at Xu Guanglei, then at the silent Jian Ziyan, and finally carefully set his gaze on Chen Ke's face.
“Brother Chen…” he said tentatively, “Now that such a big thing has happened here, the higher-ups will send people over soon, so you should leave quickly.”
"Above?" Shen Ke showed a strange expression.
Yu Hui couldn't figure out what his mental state was like, so he could only be more careful: "Since Dr. Jian is dead..."
Hearing this, Shen Ke stared at him fiercely, frightening him so much that he swallowed back his words.
"No." Shen Ke said, "He is not dead yet."
"What?" Yu Hui was shocked. He looked at Jian Ziyan again. His chest wasn't even moving, and with the dagger inserted straight into his heart... No matter what, Jian Ziyan couldn't possibly survive.
He thought Shen Ke had gone completely crazy.
However, Chen Ke did not explain, but took off his blood-stained windbreaker, tore it into strips, then avoided Jian Ziyan's wounds and tied him tightly to himself.
While he was doing this, no one dared to disturb him.
It was not until he had tied the man up that Yu Hui asked, “Brother Shen, what are you doing?”
"Save you." Chen Ke confirmed again that Jian Ziyan would not fall, then looked at Yu Hui. In his dark pupils, two clusters of wicked fire from the depths of his soul ignited. "The people above you mentioned are originally a mob, relying on deception to get to the top. If it weren't for you people, could they have reached that position? But they are indifferent to human life, and only have their own interests in their eyes. Do you think they don't know what's going on here? It's just that they know they can't afford to offend me, so they choose to hide. Anyway, I can't hurt them. Even if I go crazy and kill all of you, what does it have to do with them?"
Yu Hui's face darkened, and the people around him fell silent.
They are not fools, so how could they not see the true faces of those people? It's just that in this cruel doomsday, having a base to live in is too precious an opportunity, and no one is willing to take the risk of giving it up.
After all, other bases may not be much better than this one.
Ordinary people and people with special powers are actually just struggling to survive.
Chen Ke sneered: "Since they are afraid of me, how can I not respond to this fear?"
He had a person tied to his body and was walking slowly towards the core location of the base, the office building.
That day, the fear and hope brought by Chen Ke were deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.
Covered with wounds and blood, he went through a day of fierce fighting and defeated all the superpowers who protected those people and usually bullied them. Just like they treated Jian Ziyan in the past, he locked them all up like animals and livestock.
The entire building was bathed in blood, and when the fighting and screaming stopped, the Hengyun Mountain Base had already been upgraded.
However, Shen Ke did not enjoy his victory. After seizing power, he immediately broke into the most well-equipped laboratory in the world, which was originally prepared for Xu Guanglei.
He staggered and put Jian Ziyan on the bed, and gently stroked his forehead and the top of his head with his trembling hands: "Xiao Yan, hold on, I'm here to save you, you must hold on."
Jian Ziyan's face had turned pale and his body was completely cold. It was obvious that he had already stepped into the gates of hell.
Shen Ke gritted his teeth, slapped himself hard a few times, and forced himself to calm down.
Then he picked up the scalpel and carefully cut open the clothes on Jian Ziyan's chest.
…
[In his mind, Jian Ziyan held his chin and sighed: "Little Shenzi is really an honest man. After going through these worlds, only the first Chizhou can be compared with him."
419: "You don't want to give it up?"
Jian Ziyan: "Yes, Mom, I feel so bad."
419:……? This scumbag actually changed his personality today?
Then Jian Ziyan's face suddenly changed, and he looked shy: "I have been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally he has recovered his memory! In this case, let me comfort him with my body."
419: ???
Jian Ziyan: "Can't waste it!"]
Jian Ziyan's eyelashes twitched slightly, and before he opened his eyes, he felt his hands being wrapped in a pair of hot and broad palms.
The breathing sound by his ear suddenly became stagnant, and when he slowly opened his eyes, he slowly exhaled with a trembling cry of joy.
"Xiao Yan..." Shen Ke couldn't hide his sobs, "You finally woke up."
Jian Ziyan's eyes finally focused, and when he heard this name, he paused and turned to look at Shen Ke.
"You remembered everything." He said in an affirmative tone.
Hearing his voice, Chen Ke's nose turned red and the tears in his eyes fell instantly.
"Yes, I remember everything. How could I forget? I shouldn't have forgotten." He stared at Jian Ziyan deeply, his tone full of tenderness and regret, "I'm sorry, Xiaoyan, it's me who made you suffer so much. It's me who made you like this."
Jian Ziyan's expression remained calm, but if you looked closely, you would find that deep in his eyes there was a joy hidden that he himself probably didn't even realize.
"This is not your fault." Jian Ziyan naturally held Shen Ke's hand back.
The two looked at each other silently, Chen Ke couldn't hold back his tears, and Jian Ziyan didn't say much, but the atmosphere between them suddenly became sticky and harmonious, so seamless, as if no one could interrupt.
After a while, Jian Ziyan said softly: "I am very happy that you can recover your memory."
These words made Shen Ke unable to bear it any longer. He tremblingly held Jian Ziyan's hand and pressed it against his forehead, crying silently and sadly.
He remembered a lot of things, and he didn't forget what happened after he lost his memory.
He remembered how he believed the rumors others spread about Jian Ziyan, how he hated Jian Ziyan with all his heart, and how he painstakingly designed a scheme that ultimately led to Jian Ziyan being seriously injured.
Jian Ziyan remembered everything, he knew everything, but he could only watch as the only friend who believed in him in the past was no longer willing to listen to him. Even when he was imprisoned, he still remembered not to let him get involved...
At this point, how could Shen Ke not understand why Jian Ziyan asked him to destroy the monitor.
Because he doesn't want to implicate himself.
Chen Ke couldn't forgive himself for doing so many cruel things to his Xiao Yan. He had never believed those rumors before, and he could have not believed them...
He was in great pain, but Jian Ziyan had already sorted out his thoughts.
Now that Shen Ke has recovered his memory, there are some things that can be told to him.
"Chen Ke, you asked me before if I was the one who caused the apocalypse, and my answer was that I didn't know, because I didn't remember it either."
Chen Ke was stunned, and forced himself out of the pain: "What did you say?"
"When I woke up, everything had already happened. I lost a small part of my memory," Jian Ziyan said. "I don't remember what happened before."
