Chapter 251 The Origin of the Apocalypse
Xu Lianqiao closed her eyes briefly, and finally said in a compromising manner, "As expected, there are still too many loopholes. I told you, this method can't be hidden."
Her gaze swept over the corpses on the ground, finally landing on Miao Yin: "If you're looking for me, then look for me. Why did you kill them? The government spent countless efforts to bring them into the base. If these people die, the entire experiment will collapse."
"It's good that it's collapsed," Miao Yin said calmly.
Are you one of Li Kangping's men?
Miao Yin sensed something was amiss: "Why do you say that?"
"Because I refused his recruitment, he has wanted to kill me for a long time. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been forced to change the direction of my experiments and have to do this role-switching act."
A hint of surprise flashed across Chao Boyan's face as he hesitated and asked, "You mean, that laboratory in Yecheng?"
Xu Lianqiao sighed: "So you know? Fine, I don't mind telling you. Actually, I didn't start by studying aberrations, but by studying the energy growth of people with superpowers. In my opinion, instead of spending a lot of effort to find the cause of a global event, it's better to figure out these strange superpowers first, so that everyone can survive together."
"The experiment went surprisingly smoothly. I found the growth frequency of superpowers and will soon be able to invent some drugs that can temporarily increase superpowers, so that the gap between humans and mutants will not be so big."
"After Li Kangping learned about this, he suddenly came to the laboratory and asked me to join his laboratory, which is what you call Yecheng."
“I knew he had a terminal illness that couldn’t be cured, but he actually dared to try to use his superpowers to cure it and even wanted to live forever. I rejected his wild ideas, and then he stole my core data.”
Upon hearing this, Miao Yin raised an eyebrow.
The energy of those with superpowers increases? Isn't that the experiment Ling went through?
No wonder Yecheng's experiments are progressing so quickly; it turns out that the predecessors planted the trees so that the successors could enjoy the shade.
Miao Yin: "He's just an ordinary person. Even if he really develops a drug that can enhance superpowers, so what?"
Xu Lianqiao shook her head: "No, he is a superhuman."
"Him?" This was something Miao Yin didn't know.
"His special ability is to make himself float in the air, which is not very useful, so few people know about it. The reason why people think that his special ability can save lives is because a patient with early-stage cancer had his cancer disappear after he awakened a healing-type special ability."
"His own abilities didn't produce the same effect, so he wanted to use external forces to achieve it."
Chao Boyan chuckled: "Impressive, impressive, no wonder you're an official."
Xu Lianqiao continued, "He took away my core data and damaged my samples, which greatly affected my experiments and caused my research progress to be suspended. Later, I found that my life was threatened, and out of desperation, I changed my research direction. Some of the results afterward were published by my husband."
Miao Yin applauded their relationship: "What a loving couple! But what I want to hear is not your love story. Now you should tell me about the origins of these apocalypses, and... this report on the homology of the mutant species."
"Haven't you already seen it? What else do you need to explain? That's right, you ability users are monsters, just like those mutants!" Ren Xin said sarcastically.
"boom!"
A gunshot rang out, and Ren Xin screamed and knelt on the ground. Chao Boyan scratched his ear and cursed, "I hate it when men shout and yell the most."
The bullet pierced his knee, and Ren Xin fell to the ground clutching his leg. Xu Lianqiao quickly knelt down to support him.
"Enough, you people with superpowers! This is a fact, don't you understand?" she shouted angrily.
"Shh, don't get so excited."
Miao Yin glanced behind her, picked up a large hourglass from the table, which was now empty.
"Let's set a timer. I hope I can hear the whole story before the sand runs out."
She waved her hand and smiled, then flipped her wrist, turning the hourglass upside down. Brown sand flowed down from the hole, drawing out a thin, trembling lifeline, and an invisible sense of crisis enveloped everyone's hearts.
Xu Lianqiao bit her lower lip and said, "This is a secret known only to insiders. The apocalypse... did not arrive at the same time. Perhaps you have heard of the multi-vehicle collision on the West Suburbs Expressway."
“In early March, a group of tomb raiders drove a truck onto the highway and suddenly lost control halfway, crashing into an entire lane before finally coming to a stop after overturning.”
"All the injured were sent to Zuochuan People's Hospital, which is closest to the highway, and the first person to suffer from the anomaly was the tomb raider in the truck."
"The driver bit the doctor and nurse to death during the rescue, but because the operating room was sealed off, it wasn't until he had eaten everyone inside that anyone discovered it. Meanwhile, his accomplices, the tomb raiders, were also biting the patient in the same bed to death outside, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries."
"The hospital was sealed off by the police, and the entire area within a five-kilometer radius was on alert. At first, everyone thought it was some kind of new foreign virus, so they immediately quarantined everyone who had been to the hospital and then summoned a large number of biologists. However, before everyone could even get to the hospital, the end of the world came."
"We searched through records of anomalies around the world and finally determined that the earliest place where the anomaly appeared was that hospital. That was the origin of the anomaly. Only by figuring out what it was can we solve the current crisis."
"So after Dream City was established, the military led a team of 300 men into Zuochuan People's Hospital and captured the eight tomb raiders. That team... eventually only had 17 people left."
Xia Tang glanced at the ground, which was now completely devoid of dust, and asked in confusion, "These eight mutants weren't that strong."
"Compared to those Crimson Catastrophes, they are indeed very weak, but the problem is that they cannot be killed. We have tried every means possible. If it were the mutants outside, they would have died hundreds of times over."
"The reason why the army suffered heavy casualties was because there were too many mutants in that hospital, and they were obviously more ferocious than those outside. We suspect that the origin of the apocalypse affected the mutants around them."
Miao Yin tapped her fingers on the table one tap at a time.
Xu Lianqiao's words were not without reason. After all, more than two hundred people had died, and it was difficult to keep such a thing a secret. She had heard about the actions of Zuochuan People's Hospital in her previous life.
The army of three hundred men was divided into teams of fifteen, and they were sent out in batches to capture the people. They were killed one by one, and in the end, only a few people were left, which brought the origin of the apocalypse back down.
However, their crushing defeat was not entirely due to the large number of mutants.
They only found out about this several years later when they investigated again.
Hidden within Zuochuan People's Hospital is a scarlet calamity.
