Chapter 189 Race Continuation
Jiang Yue was probably the kind of zombie who would take an inch and then a mile, and would climb up the pole if she didn't. Even after returning to the central base, she had no intention of letting go. Holding Lu Yize's hand, she had a smug look on her face, as if he had agreed to it.
Seeing Jiang Yue like this, Fan Jian hissed and whispered to Xian Wenrui, "Isn't Jiang Yue supposed to grow a brain after advancing in rank? Could it be that she's grown a love-struck brain instead?"
Xian Wenrui was a serious man and rarely agreed with Fan Jian's words. However, at this moment, he racked his brains but couldn't think of any rebuttal.
"Well... it's not impossible."
Xiao Bai barked twice beside him. As its rank increased, Xiao Bai's size continued to grow, making it look incredibly cool. To the outside world, it was a cool, aloof, and awesome superpowered dog.
However, when facing these familiar people, Xiaobai would stick out its tongue and grin foolishly. Fan Jian really liked his dog brother and dreamed of having such a smart and intelligent super-powered dog.
His attention was quickly drawn to Xiaobai, and he rushed forward to hug Xiaobai's leg. "Brother Dog, when will I find you a beautiful wife? When you have a litter of puppies, give me one."
Zhang Wenjing pushed up her glasses and commented sharply, "Dog traffickers? Don't even think about it."
"Hey, Sister Jing, that's not how it works. Haven't you heard of adoption instead of buying and selling?"
Lu Yize led Jiang Yue to their side. He stared at Xiao Bai, whose ability level had always been similar to Jiang Yue's. "Level four?"
"Yes, it found a place to advance a few days ago, and we only found out about its advancement when lightning almost split the central base open just now."
As Fan Jian said this, he hugged his dog brother tenderly and rubbed against him, perhaps taking the opportunity to pet the dog.
Zhang Wenjing was the one who felt the most heartache. She took out all the crystal cores she had saved to replenish Xiaobai's power after its advancement, and then she thought of what those mutated beasts had said before.
"Little White... is it possible that it will change its form in the future? How many crystal cores do I need to exchange for the special material it needs to advance?"
Zhang Wenjing stroked Xiaobai's fur, and Xiaobai lay down on the ground to let her stroke its head.
Lu Yize wasn't sure either. He had never heard of it in his previous life, and that sixth-order alien plant only had a face growing on the tree trunk; he had never seen it transform into a human form.
Lu Yize looked at Xiaobai squatting on the ground being stroked, and his thoughts raced for a moment. He even imagined Xiaobai with a human face and a dog body.
Lu Yize: ...
It's ugly in a unique way.
"Chen Mingzhang and the others gave us some of the special material as a reward for the laboratory's findings. Xiaobai can use it when needed. As for whether it can turn him into a human... we'll see when the time comes."
A mutated dog turned into a human. Xian Wenrui felt a little uncomfortable. How could he face his dog brother now? He wouldn't dare to feed his dog brother with a bowl anymore.
While the others had time to discuss what kind of bowl to use for feeding dogs, the high-ranking officials at the Central Base and the Eastern Ancient Base had solemn expressions.
They repeatedly watched the laboratory materials and footage brought back by Lu Yize and his team, conducted several assessments and rehearsals, but still couldn't find a breakthrough.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, they sent all the information to the other two major bases. Knowing that the fate of the two bases was interdependent, the leaders of the Beisha and Xiyue bases only dispatched their elite forces after reviewing the information.
Even so, when Chen Mingzhang used his supernatural ability to predict the future, he still couldn't find a way out. They seemed to be on the verge of despair. Faced with more than a thousand paths in front of him, Chen Mingzhang still couldn't choose a way to survive.
Before seeing this laboratory, he had hoped to live longer and looked forward to the end of the apocalypse and the return to peaceful days.
But now, Chen Mingzhang found himself in complete darkness, with no path before him offering a glimmer of hope. His heart sank, and from this moment on, he no longer held any hope of survival, only wishing to die on the road to finding a way for humanity to survive.
Lu Yize was not as indifferent as he appeared. The moment he appeared in the laboratory, he sensed some details that had been overlooked in his previous life. Perhaps the people of the Donggu Base had also discovered this laboratory in his previous life.
Chen Mingzhang may also have died in this battle, but the others had no chance to know, only the small laboratories that kept appearing in various bases of all sizes.
Lu Yize was one of the test subjects. He felt uneasy until the laboratory was eliminated, and even vaguely sensed the conspiracy behind it.
People from Beisha and Xiyue will arrive in two days, and even Donggu has once again dispatched top-tier superhumans.
"What level are the people sent from the three bases?"
Lu Yize asked Chen Mingzhang, and Chen Mingzhang didn't hide anything, "Xiyue sent two fourth-tier and twelve third-tier, while Beisha sent one fifth-tier, three fourth-tier, and seven third-tier."
"In addition, each base also received an additional 500 second-tier ability users."
Upon hearing that Beisha actually had a fifth-level ability user, Lu Yize thought, "Beisha is quite strong."
"It is indeed quite strong, otherwise it would not have been able to withstand the attack of the zombie horde. Oh right, that zombie monkey disguised as the zombie king has had its head cut off and its brain core removed by the fifth-level ability user in Beisha."
"Donggu also sent two more fourth-tier ability users, as well as several other third-tier ability users. They are all prepared to die, and we'll see if they can destroy that laboratory."
They had examined the distribution of mutated beasts on each floor of the laboratory. Even though they had assembled what was arguably the strongest force humanity currently possessed, they were still prepared for the possibility of total annihilation when facing that unknown laboratory.
They did not seek personal survival; they were prepared to die in order to ensure the continuation of their race.
"When to set off."
No wonder we hardly saw any exceptionally talented people in the later stages of the apocalypse; it turns out a lot of them died in the early stages.
"It's better to do it sooner rather than later; I have a bad feeling about it."
Chen Mingzhang's special ability is to make choices. Although going earlier or later would both lead to certain death, he can predict which path will be more advantageous for them.
Lu Yize didn't understand Chen Mingzhang's noble sentiments, but... Lu Yize revealed a ruthless smile, "Take me with you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mingzhang was shocked, but also felt a complex mix of relief and certainty. "Think it through carefully, you will die."
"Die?" Lu Yize let out a contemptuous laugh. "So be it."
Others may be afraid of death, but Lu Yize has already died once. What he probably hates more than death is the powerlessness of not being able to control his own life and death.
He lacked a noble sense of mission to sacrifice for the continuation of the race, but he was narrow-minded and could not easily let go of his personal hatred. What he wanted was to eradicate the hatred that had seeped into his very bones.
