“Hey, Little Xin, you’re here.” White Coat skillfully greeted the young man walking in. “Are you here to see Dr. Sang?”

White Coat winked mysteriously. “He asked you to come here and then go directly to the tenth floor.”

Bai Lixin paused the hand that was about to say hello, then raised it again. “Okay, I’ll go find him now.”

He entered the elevator again, pressed the button for the tenth floor, and the elevator slowed down as it reached its destination, opening slowly.

A tall man sat idly on a pure white hospital bed. He had his head lowered, fiddling with something. The light above illuminated the top of his head, transforming his originally pale skin into a hazy, transparent texture—adding a touch of beauty.

The white light shone on the man’s fine black hair and thick, long eyelashes, hiding his gaze within the emerging shadows, making it impossible to see his current focus.

He resembled a weak young man who had no desire to compete with the world.

The man seemed lost in his own thoughts, and Bai Lixin’s arrival didn’t attract his attention.

It wasn’t until Bai Lixin approached him that the man, as if just hearing the sound of footsteps, slowly raised his eyelids and looked over with his dark pupils.

Bai Lixin looked at the man opposite him, recalling of the first time they met in this copy.

Back then, the man’s eyes were as calm as a dead sea, without any waves. Even if a stone were thrown into it, it wouldn’t cause any ripples.

He appeared in the form of a zombie, devoid of a heart.

But now, the man’s eyes brimmed with an unknown warmth, desire, and emotion. He would also search through the crowd and gaze intently at someone.

The once pale and indifferent man gradually gained colorful hues, adorned with complex and mottled emotions.

He came alive.

After looking at the man for two seconds, Bai Lixin’s gaze shifted downward, landing on the man’s palm.

In his hand, the index finger and thumb held a transparent crystal nucleus.

The crystal nucleus, incomparably precious to others, appeared as nothing more than a toy in the hands of a child to him.

Bai Lixin asked, “Is this the transparent crystal nucleus I matched with before?”

Dr. Sang didn’t deny it. He nodded, and the pulps of his two fingers turned slightly. The transparent crystal nucleus immediately followed suit, revealing its edges and corners. The crystal’s surface reflected the surrounding white light, refracting colorful brilliance.

“Your ability has been upgraded to A-level, and the success rate of successfully obtaining the power from this crystal nucleus is about 80%. If I were to reveal its origin now, the success rate may drop to only 8%. But I suppose you still want to know.”

Bai Lixin became interested. “What’s its origin?”

Although Dr. Sang had kept mentioning it, there was always a slight lack of interest. “This crystal nucleus was sent back by Yuan.”

Yuan?

Wasn’t he the genius ability user who participated in the search for the antigen and ultimately perished?

So, what is the source of this crystal nucleus?

“You must have already thought about it,” Dr. Sang got off the hospital bed, walking toward Bai Lixin with his straight and slender legs. He spoke in a deep voice, “This crystal nucleus comes from that mysterious laboratory. In some cases, when ability users inherit an ability, they may also absorb the memories of the previous owner. Mental abilities increase the likelihood of this occurrence. If you absorb this crystal nucleus, there‘s a high probability that you’ll also gain the memories of its owner.”

“I can’t be certain if those memories are good or bad. They might provide you with information about the antigen laboratory, or they might overwhelm your senses due to their weighty nature. However, since it’s for the mission, I assume you’ll accept this crystal nucleus without hesitation.” The transparent crystal nucleus lay quietly in the man’s palm, beckoning Bai Lixin to take it.

Bai Lixin took the crystal nucleus with one hand, and the moment his fingertips touched it, he immediately felt its slight warmth on the surface.

“How should I absorb it?” Bai Lixin asked the stoic man in front of him.

The man replied, “There’s no rush. Pre-operative preparation is still necessary. I need to further adjust and synchronize your mental frequency with that of the crystal nucleus.” He paused, his gaze sweeping over the turtleneck sweater under the young man’s chin. His voice softened, “The marks haven’t disappeared yet?”

“Does it still hurt?”

Bai Lixin shook his hand, and the extremely precious transparent crystal nucleus almost fell to the ground. He hurriedly clenched the crystal nucleus in embarrassment, his eyes flickering. “I’m just afraid of the cold. I don’t understand what’s going on or not, whether it hurts or not!”

The man smiled mischievously. ”That’s right, if you scream so happily, it shouldn’t hurt, right?”

Bai Lixin felt even more embarrassed.

The man liked this kind of young man very much. He could be extremely shy at times, but bold enough to astonish him at other times, completely unreasonable.

The man looked at Bai Lixin with a smile in his eyes. When Bai Lixin seemed a little lost, he suddenly pried open Bai Lixin’s mouth and stuffed a small round bean inside.

The sweet taste with a hint of milk filled Bai Lixin’s mouth. He chewed it twice, and the milky bean melted in his mouth. Bai Lixin looked at the man suspiciously while swallowing.

The man smiled. “It’s used to reduce swelling and relieve pain. It can also promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and eliminate bruises. I’ve been busy all day today, so it’s definitely unique.”

He said playfully with a soft nasal voice, “I didn’t even close my eyes.”

Bai Lixin swallowed the milk bean completely. ‘…That’s really hard work for you. Whose fault is it?’

Whether it should be said or not, this bastard definitely won in terms of character design. The species of zombies, tsk tsk tsk. His whole body was sore, and he could barely lift his hands.

Seeing the man’s eyes becoming more and more strange, Bai Lixin quickly changed the subject. “It’s time to investigate the three dark areas we talked about earlier.”

“I have a question. If I absorb this crystal nucleus, is there a possibility that the authorities will let me go to that mysterious laboratory to find the antigen?”

The man nodded. “Yes.”

Bai Lixin: “Then-“

The man interrupted, “Go and investigate the three dark areas you mentioned first, and then absorb the crystal nucleus after the investigation.”

Bai Lixin thought for two seconds, then nodded in agreement with the man’s suggestion. “Okay.”

“I took a brief look at the three areas you marked that night, and I can probably guess two of them. The first place is the bottom southwest corner, which is Dr. Adolf’s laboratory. Although I am not familiar with Dr. Adolf, I can take you in directly so you don’t need to sneak around. Sometimes, academic exchanges between researchers are also possible. The other one, the middle one, is a prison where ability users are detained.”

“Billy, who bullied you before, is also locked there now. Because there are some felons detained there, protective devices are installed around to prevent detection. As for the third place, I haven’t figured it out yet.”

The man said without hesitation, “If you want to go to the prison, I can find a very reasonable reason to go in.”

He suddenly raised his head to look at Bai Lixin, his eyes tinged with arrogance. “How about it? Am I amazing?”

Praise me quickly.

Bai Lixin: “…”

What are you doing all of a sudden?

————————–

In the live broadcast room.

[A generation of zombies will eventually become dogs. Hey, sure enough, the fate of the bosses is the same.]

[For a moment just now, I seemed to see a big tail swaying like a cattail fan.]

[I slept soundly all night, woke up to God Xin silently emptying the big boss’s family fortune.]

[I just switched the scene. President Song Yuantian and the others are already heading north, and it seems that the progress is going smoothly.]

[That’s good. Let’s wait for them to triumph.]

[But the person President Song is looking for should be hard to find, right? With the crustal movement, the melting glaciers, and the passage of time. Also, the glaciers are so big, it feels very difficult.]

[He is the president of the third largest guild. Don’t be fooled by President Song’s illness. He is very strong, so don’t worry.]

[Speaking of which, I just discovered that our God Xin is also a guild president. Have you noticed? The president of the Core Fire Guild.]

[Hahaha, I noticed it a long time ago. The position of the president of the Core Fire Guild has been vacant for so long, and I guessed it was reserved for God Xin. I found out later, and I have already submitted a membership application long ago.]

[Fuck, you dog, I’m going too!]

[Unfortunately, my membership application was not approved.]

[Hey, is it so difficult to join the Core Fire Guild?]

[I have applied several times and been rejected several times. The membership requirements of their guild have always been unclear. They don’t consider the level, nor do they look at the strength. Some members are above the 500th floor, while others have only a dozen floors. The other guilds rush to recruit, but the Core Fire Guild refuses.]

[I think the Core Fire Guild is very easy to get into. I’m in it, and my application was approved the first time.]

[Hiss, you are a standard survivor. But how did you get in? Good brother, tell me about your membership experience.]

[I don’t have much experience. I just filled out the application form and sent it, and the next day, I received a message that the application was approved.]

[Isn’t there any test of human morality, like helping the elderly, sweeping the office floor, or tying others’ shoes?]

[Hahaha, what’s that? Probably not. I just sent an application form at that time.]

[Falling into deep thought.jpg.]

[I have a bold guess.]

[What is it?]

[Could it be that because God Xin’s luck is too bad, they simply base the applications on luck, so that his luck doesn’t affect the luck of the guild? They choose randomly. If you’re chosen, you’re lucky; if not, you’re unlucky.]

[Ah, is it really that impulsive?]

[…Now that I think about it, it’s probably possible.]

[God Xin: You’re tired of living!]

Li Cangshan fell into deep thought as he looked at the rejected application form again. He was about to skillfully throw the application form into the recycle bin when he saw the flashing content on the bullet screen and suddenly stopped.

Opening the application form again, he carefully read the content he filled in from beginning to end.

Occupation: Professional athlete.
Age: 24 years old.
Sex: Male.
Personality: Serious and responsible, able to take care of the overall situation and obey organizational arrangements.

Under special hobbies, he listed a series of good deeds and acts of kindness.

It was perfect, impeccable even. He appeared to be a morally upright young man with strong political abilities.

Was it really just a matter of luck?

In just a few days, he had already climbed more than 30 floors, but he still couldn’t see the upper floors he needed to reach.

The more he went into the copies, the more he realized how difficult it was to fight alone.

Having loyal allies was crucial, not only important but also urgent.

Less than a month had passed since he entered here, and he had already witnessed too many deaths.

If he relied solely on his strength, it might be too late by the time he reached the higher control area.

Perhaps by then, the evil alien forces would have already conquered the Blue Star.

Li Cangshan stared at the application form in front of him, and the more he thought about it, the more he believed that the problem might really lie with his luck value.

He quickly opened a new application form, skillfully filled in the false identity, and when it came to the special hobby section, he swiftly wrote in bold letters: Good luck!

After finishing writing, Li Cangshan nodded with satisfaction and once again submitted the application form.

——————————

The few who stayed on the ark also quickly organized themselves.

Bai Lixin, Dr. Sang, and Xia Chi were in charge of going to Dr. Adolf’s laboratory.

Li Cancan, Naia, and the third brother went to the completely unknown area, and the remaining two people from Song Yuantian’s team went to the prison.

It was around four o’clock in the afternoon, and Dr. Sang took Bai Lixin and Naia to an elevator that even Naia was unfamiliar with, and slowly descended.

Before parting, Bai Lixin asked Naia, “How is the photo restoration work?”

After receiving a negative answer, Bai Lixin didn’t show any disappointment.

After all, according to the initial calculation, the repair would take at least three or four days, and it has only been two days.

————————-

In the cramped and silent elevator, time seemed to slow down.

Xia Chi carefully followed Bai Lixin, but his gaze occasionally drifted towards Dr. Sang, who stood at an angle in front of them.

Seeing Xia Chi’s anxious expression, Bai Lixin couldn’t help but feel amused. He teased, “So now you understand what love is? What about when you rejected me? Who are you in love with now?”

“Brother,” Xia Chi whispered, discreetly pulling Bai Lixin to a corner of the elevator. He cautiously leaned in and asked, “Have you slept with the boss?”

Bai Lixin: “???”

“Xia Chi, are you feeling alright?”

Embarrassed, Xia Chi swallowed and replied, “I don’t know why, but my mind has been racing lately. Let me tell you a secret, brother. The big boss is very likely to be a zombie, not just because he got scratched by one. Is it possible that he’s infected with the zombie virus?”

“In that case, it’s dangerous for you to be intimate with the boss. He might bite you when love intensifies.”

As Xia Chi spoke, his anxiety grew. “Brother, why don’t you break up with brother in law of this copy for now? Your safety is the priority. I don’t want to see you being forced to stay in the copy, then we’ll be like heaven and man separated forever.”

Dr. Sang: “?”

Bai Lixin furrowed his brows: “?”

Heaven and man separated forever? Is that the correct usage of the phrase? Are you really a senior in high school?

Oh, sorry, I forgot that high school knowledge tends to regress to a kindergarten level over time.

——————————

In the Live Broadcast Room.

[“???”]

[“Eternal Separation of Heaven and Man”]

[Xia Chi has truly shown me the regression phenomenon of high school seniors. In the past, Xia Chi had so much knowledge that he even knew the exact time of telephone area codes. Now he can’t even use idioms correctly.]

[“Modern High School Students”]

[“Modern College Students”]

[But isn’t Xia Chi’s awakening a bit late? Raw rice is cooked.]

[“In Hindsight”]
