Chapter 077 Mad Scientist 9
Shen Ke stared at Jian Ziyan in a daze, his eyes becoming hot.
After the operation, while Jian Ziyan was still in a coma, he thought a lot and fell into a violent struggle.
He knew his Xiao Yan. Although he was emotionally indifferent and had no feelings for the world or human beings, he was definitely not the kind of madman who was inhumane and used the whole world as a testing ground just for his own research results.
Therefore, the facts he knew before he lost his memory and the facts he learned after he lost his memory had a huge impact on his mind. He was unwilling to believe that it was Jian Ziyan who created the end of the world, but he had to think about it. If it was really Jian Ziyan who created the end of the world, what should he do?
As justice and personal feelings competed fiercely in his heart, Chen Ke despairingly discovered that no matter how many times he did it again, he would still make the same choice.
The choices he could have made when he lost his memory would not be any different now that his memory has been restored.
And now, he suddenly learned that there was another hidden story behind the outbreak of the apocalypse. For Shen Ke, this was like a sudden turn of events and the redemption of his conscience.
Jian Ziyan raised his eyes and looked at him: "Now that you have recovered your memory, what do you remember about that day?"
The silly smile that unconsciously rose on Shen Ke's face froze, and he frowned as he recalled.
"Let's follow the timeline." He pondered and said, "Three days before the apocalypse, the teacher sent us a message saying that the corpse of some ancient giant beast was found in the glacier.
It has not yet rotted and is being transported back to the institute. We must make sure to handle it properly."
"Yes, and then we upgraded the defense system to the specifications for Class I dangerous goods." Jian Ziyan followed up and recalled, "According to what others said, the date of the apocalypse was the day the bodies were sent to the institute. What can you remember?"
"That day..." Chen Ke frowned, "You were making preparations in the laboratory, and I went to pick up the body. On the way..."
Chen Ke's eyes suddenly became distant, and Jian Ziyan asked, "Who did you meet on the road?"
"I met...Xu Guanglei." Speaking of this name, Chen Ke's face showed obvious disgust, "But he was not qualified to participate in this research, and he didn't know what was in the package. He took a look and left. This is my last memory of that day. When I woke up again, I had lost my memory."
Jian Ziyan didn't show any strange expression, just nodded: "Where were you when you woke up?"
"In a basement." Chen Ke said, "It seemed to be a warehouse or something. My mind was in a mess at the time, and I had awakened my supernatural powers. When I went out, the whole street was in a post-war depression. Only then did I realize that it had been several days since the outbreak of the apocalypse."
He leaned forward worriedly, "What about you, Xiaoyan? What was your condition like when you woke up?"
"Like you, my memory of that day ends when I was preparing in the lab, but I woke up in the lab." Jian Ziyan said, "Like you, I should have been unconscious for several days. There were no living people in the institute because the door and glass of the lab were specially made, so the zombies didn't get in."
Even though so much time had passed, Shen Ke still couldn't help feeling a little scared.
"…Fortunately you didn't come out at that time." He said in a hoarse voice.
Jian Ziyan shook his head: "When I woke up, the first thing I did was to check the cabinet containing the virus samples. As expected, it had been opened, but the door was locked. I can't remember what I did."
There was a speechless look in his eyes: “Chen Ke, I don’t have that memory, I don’t know if the end of the world is the result of the leakage of those viruses, so I dare not say that I am innocent.”
Chen Ke's heart ached dully.
Even if Jian Ziyan had no feelings, he knew what to do and what not to do. When he didn't know the truth, he would rather bear the cruel accusation than make a single excuse for himself.
"There must be something hidden here." Chen Ke gently held Jian Ziyan's hand, his voice light but firm, "If there is no truth, we will find the truth. No one can hurt us now. You promise me that you will never... do such a thing again."
His eyes turned red again, and his gaze fell on Jian Ziyan's chest, which was wrapped in thick bandages.
"I snatched you back from the hands of the King of Hell. Your life belongs to me now." He said in an almost childish tone, "From now on, without my permission, you are not allowed to harm your life, no matter what the reason is."
Jian Ziyan looked at his bloodshot eyes, the traces of crying were so obvious, his originally bright and handsome eyebrows and eyes were now swollen and decadent.
Jian Ziyan didn't say it was good, nor did he say it was bad, he just said: "How is your injury?"
He still remembered that at Xu Guanglei's request, this man pierced his body with five bloody holes.
"What can happen to me? I have supernatural powers and my physical fitness is very good. Even if I get a few more holes, they are just superficial injuries..."
Chen Ke originally wanted to cover up the matter with a light-hearted and joking tone, but after meeting Jian Ziyan's gaze, his voice weakened.
Jian Ziyan possesses the purest pair of eyes in the world, because he has no emotions and desires, no matter how dark things are in the world, they cannot pollute him. And because of this, Chen Ke is extremely afraid that he will never be able to see such a pair of eyes again from now on.
His voice died away, and silent tears filled his eyes once again.
He leaned forward and rested his forehead against Jian Ziyan's. Without any disguise of strength, his soft crying voice was exposed.
"Xiao Yan, I'm so scared, please don't scare me like this again, please."
Jian Ziyan's eyes rippled slightly, and in the face of Shen Ke's incredulous gaze, he reached out and touched his cheek.
"It's all over," he said.
When he tried to pull his hand back, another hot and broad hand held it tightly, preventing him from leaving.
"Xiao Yan, I said something to you after I lost my memory." Chen Ke's eyes were hotter than his hands. "I insulted you and hurt you. These are all my faults. You can get them back twice as much. But I also said that I have feelings for you. These words are from my heart. Even now, I want to tell you again that I like you."
Jian Ziyan blinked slowly, as if he was trying hard to digest this kind of emotional fluctuation that was not common before them.
His extremely immature and almost helpless performance made Shen Ke's heart soften, and he couldn't help but gently kiss the tip of his nose.
"I know you don't understand. It's okay. I just want to tell you that I like you. Not only after I lost my memory, but I have liked you for many years before I lost my memory. Maybe I have been attracted to you since the first day I saw you."
"I didn't tell you before because I always felt that there was still a lot of time, and I could slowly let you know that there is a kind of feeling called love among humans, but now I'm scared. I like you, so I have to tell you."
"I..." Jian Ziyan was speechless, which was very rare. "I really...can't give you the response you want."
"How do you know what response I want?" Shen Ke asked him back.
Seeing the confusion in his eyes as expected, Shen Ke couldn't suppress the smile from the bottom of his heart on his face.
"Do you mind that I'm so close to you?" he asked. "Do you mind that I kissed you just now?"
Jian Ziyan thought about it and shook his head.
Chen Ke was the only person who had such intimate behavior with him, but because this person was Chen Ke, he did not feel any rejection.
They were all too familiar with each other’s company.
Shen Ke's body trembled slightly, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and he barely swallowed the ecstasy that suddenly surged up.
Take it step by step, don't scare Xiaoyan, he told himself desperately.
"This is the response I want." He said in a hoarse voice, "Xiao Yan, your existence itself is what I want most."
…
【419:……
419: "This script is not right. When did you become so merciful and start going for the sweet route?"
Jian Ziyan: "Is it sweet? Of course it's sweet."
419:?
Jian Ziyan: "Open the shop and let me take another look... I really didn't expect that Xiao Shenzi could save such a serious injury. It seems that we should not underestimate the medical level in novels, especially the protagonists who are praised so much."
419 was stunned for a few seconds, then blurted out in disbelief: "You...did you actually flip over?"
Jian Ziyan said nothing, but carefully selected items from the dazzling array of system stores.
419 finally came to his senses, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible: "Oh my god, the scumbag host actually flipped over! Great joy! Everyone celebrates! The pig is advancing rapidly!"
"..." Jian Ziyan picked a product, "This is it."
419 looked at it and was immediately silent: "...Host, you really are not going to stop until Shen Ke has suffered this hardship."
Product name: Awakening from old illnesses. Product efficacy: As long as you use this product, no matter how small the problem you had many years ago, it will turn into a fatal wound, a life-threatening poison~
Jian Ziyan smiled meaningfully: "Let's change the routine. We have been trying to get something but not getting it for too long. Let's change it to getting something and then losing it again this time."
Despite being seriously injured, Shen Ke single-handedly conquered the entire base. This incident became a legend in the apocalypse. No one inside the base dared to compete with Shen Ke, and now he has become the legitimate person in charge of the base.
But he himself did not want to be the person in charge. Although Jian Ziyan's life was saved, his body was too weak and he would need careful care in the future. He made this move just to be able to use the laboratory freely.
So he directly handed the position of person in charge to Yu Hui. However, the situation was turbulent now, and Yu Hui asked him not to just be a hands-off boss, but at least to help to deter the situation. Chen Ke agreed.
After all, he cleaned up the upper level of the base not to make the situation in the base more chaotic.
With his help, the turmoil in the base soon calmed down. Yu Hui was indeed very responsible as the person in charge. The survivors were all very happy that he took over the position, and the strange voices soon disappeared.
While Shen Ke was busy with these things, Jian Ziyan also began to continue his own research.
He had some vague ideas about how to crack the zombie virus strain, but he was caught by Shen Ke before he could come up with any results.
The conditions here are no worse than those in the previous research institute where he was the only one there, so he doesn't care where he is.
After rearranging the laboratory according to his own habits, Jian Ziyan began his research.
But he soon noticed something different about his body.
Perhaps it was due to the effects of the organs that had been cut off before, or perhaps his behavior of forcibly overdrawing his life was finally beginning to take its toll, his strength and energy became very low.
In the past, he could do research day and night, without sleeping for dozens of hours, but now, if he can only concentrate for half an hour, his head will start to hurt severely.
In the past, he could carry dozens of kilograms of laboratory equipment around, but now his fingers become weak and nearly break when he just picks up test tubes and beakers.
Jian Ziyan carefully felt his physical condition and did not tell Chen Ke about it. Chen Ke was a little unhappy that he got up to do experiments when his health was not good, but he did not stop him. He could not let him worry anymore.
He simply reformulated the experimental plan based on his current condition to adapt himself to his current body.
It's just the wisp of karmic fire in the body that keeps destroying...
"Xiao Yan, the base has received a message from the Eastern Base!"
Jian Ziyan quickly put down the equipment in his hand, covered his mouth to block the blood, pretended to be normal, turned around, and looked at Shen Ke who was shocked and uneasy.
"Whose?"
Shen Ke was so excited that he didn't notice anything unusual about him.
"It was sent by the teacher."
