“The future of Blue Star does not belong to any individual but should be in the hands of all Blue Star people.”
The decayed body under the exquisite and luxurious clothes gradually aged, and the old body could no longer bear the heavy weight. It struggled to crawl on the ground.
“You are very similar to someone I knew before,” Bai Lixin squatted on the ground, fireworks blooming above his head. The colorful orange sparks fell into the young man’s eyes, dyeing his already vast eyes with brilliant colors. It seemed as if people in the world could spend their entire lives unable to explore one or two mysterious star clusters.
Dr. Adolf stared blankly at the firework colors reflected in Bai Lixin’s eyes. After pondering for two seconds, Bai Lixin smiled and shook his head slightly, saying, “No, he was no longer human. When I saw him, he was already a prisoner, a monster full of desire.”
The young man smiled beautifully and brilliantly, as if nothing in the world could erode him.
Dr. Adolf stared at the young man in astonishment, his cloudy eyes filled with surprise and unwillingness.
“He was also a biological researcher like you, and your goals are somewhat similar,” he said. “He wanted to create the most perfect human being in the world, while you wanted to forcibly interfere with human evolution. You all deluded yourselves into challenging the responsibility of gods with mortal bodies, but you don’t know that even gods cannot forcibly interfere with the natural development of a plane.”
Dr. Adolf propped himself on the ground and added unwillingly, “You don’t know anything at all. In that era, diseases broke out, wars raged, and pain walked with human beings. What I did was to save human beings from suffering. The failure of the experiment is temporary, but the success is permanent. Compared to great civilization and evolution, a little sacrifice is nothing. It’s just sacrificing one generation, and in return, I gained the long-term happiness of future civilization. I was already close to success, and the instabilities in those ability users were gradually being resolved. But because of your antidote, all the ability users fell down from the pedestal again and became ordinary people. Stupid! You ruined all my life’s hard work. It’s what you did that set human civilization back a hundred years.”
“And I could have written the chapter of human evolution forever, but all of this has been ruined by you.”
Seeing Dr. Adolf’s stubbornness, Bai Lixin’s eyes flashed with disgust and helplessness. “You still say this even after a hundred years?”
He paused for two seconds, his expression suddenly subtle. “Look at your memory, Dr. Adolf. Without the extract of the Zombie Queen, you are no longer a hundred years old. Was the rice wine delicious? I added an antidote to It.”
Dr. Adolf’s eyes turned bloodshot, and he could no longer bear the pain in his body. He fell powerlessly onto the grass.
As another bunch of fireworks unfolded in the sky, only a messy and luxurious tuxedo was left on the ground, and the powder flew away from it blankly.
The figure of the host appeared on the huge screen in the gymnasium. Handsome men and beautiful women stood on the stage, and after a passionate opening speech, the awards began.
“Next, we will award the ‘Ark Dedication Medal.’ In the fifty years since the end of the world, this scientist has been conducting scientific experiments day and night, making unremitting efforts for the recovery of human civilization. The recipient of this medal is our very own ‘Dr. Adolf’!”
The hostess smiled and called out “Dr. Adolf’s” name, and applause erupted immediately.
Five seconds passed, then ten seconds. However, more than ten seconds went by, and Dr. Adolf still hadn’t appeared.
The well-educated hostess maintained her smile and called out “Dr. Adolf” once again. After a minute of silence, she expressed regret, “It seems that Dr. Adolf is truly low-key, as the rumors suggest. In that case, let’s no longer hesitate and show our appreciation for Dr. Adolf’s contribution with a warm round of applause.”
Whispered voices filled the air.
“Who is this Dr. Adolf?”
“Seems like he’s been on the Ark for fifty years, an old scientist.”
“Oh, really old? What did he actually study?”
“Who knows? They say he researched viruses, but the Zombie Queen and Dr. Sang developed the antibodies and antidotes.”
“At his age, shouldn’t he be dead? Have you seen him?”
“No, I don’t know what he looks like. I haven’t seen him at all. I don’t know if he’s alive or dead.”
Scattered applause broke out, and ironically, Dr. Adolf, who dreamt that his research could change the world, and that he would be remembered by the world, nobody knew of his presence in the stadium.
He came silently and departed silently, dying in the stadium without anyone’s knowledge.
Fireworks exploded overhead, illuminating the night sky once again with their vibrant colors. The host’s voice grew excited amidst the brilliant display. “The next award belongs to all of us gathered here.”
“The Civilization Medal of Outstanding Contribution to Recovery.”
“Victory belongs to all of humanity, and honor will be shared by all! Dear friends, our suffering is over, but our challenges have only just begun! Whatever lies in the mysterious future, history will remember all of us in this moment, for our efforts as human beings. Regardless of whether one is an ability user or ordinary, male or female, adult or child, we all deserve this award!”
Thunderous applause echoed like a tidal wave, resonating through the entire sky.
The colorful clouds of fireworks illuminated the faces of everyone—some wept with joy, others screamed with excitement.
Amidst the enthusiastic celebration, Bai Lixin received a private message.
Xia Chi: [Brother, everything is ready.]
Bai Lixin: [Okay, I’ll come right now.]
Bai Lixin and Dr. Sang exchanged glances, making their way through the noisy crowd, quietly disappearing.
They walked out of the gymnasium and headed north. Before long, they spotted several people waiting there.
Among them were Xia Chi and Zhou Guang, five members of Song Yuantian’s team, the Zombie Queen, and a few of the bearded man’s acquaintances.
Bai Lixin noticed an old acquaintance next to the bearded men. As soon as he saw Bai Lixin and Dr. Sang, the man approached with a happy expression. “Hello, Dr. Sang!”
Bai Lixin scrutinized the man and smiled slightly. “Long time no see.”
“Hahahaha, yes! I thought I was done for. I didn’t expect to come back to life.”
“I was trapped there after you blew up the elevator. If the boss hadn’t given up on me and come back to rescue me, I might have lived underground for the rest of my life. You guys are truly my saviors!”
The bearded man patted the man’s shoulder, his eyes welling up. “Call me father.”
The long-haired ability user being kicked the bearded man. “Hey, be polite. You’re really treating yourself like an ancestor!”
With teary eyes, the bearded man glanced at Bai Lixin. “I heard you’re leaving.”
Bai Lixin checked the task progress and saw that only 1% remained to complete it.
He nodded. “If nothing unexpected happens, we should be leaving soon.”
The bearded man looked at the few people reluctantly. “Thank you. I don’t know why you came or why you’re leaving, but we wish you a safe journey and success in the future.”
After expressing his gratitude and well-wishes, the bearded man left with his teammates.
Naia, the young ability user, seemed a little hesitant, gazing at Bai Lixin with teary eyes while the bearded man pulled him away. As they moved farther, Naia broke free from the bearded man’s grip and rushed over.
“Bai Lixin!” Naia exclaimed excitedly. “I’ve been accepted into the official guard team. With my abilities, I’ll definitely reach a high position within three years. Don’t worry, with us here, this era of prosperity will unfold just as you envisioned.” Naia paused, casting a discreet glance at the somber-faced Dr. Sang. “If things aren’t going well, come to me. I’ll always be your strongest support!”
—————————
The 999-floor of the tower.
The tomato was crushed forcefully, and the bright red juice exploded, splattering everywhere.
The red juice trickled down the fingers, staining the broad palm and veiny back of the hand in an instant.
The system’s voice resounded above: [My lord, you crushed the tomato. Shall I clean it up for you?]
The man narrowed his eyes and coldly took out a paper towel, wiping the juice slowly. “No need. I’ll take care of it myself.”
System: [?]
Clean it up if you’re cleaning it up. Why are you gritting your teeth like that?
Such a good tomato, it’s too wasteful, even the Doomsday copy couldn’t afford it, okay?!
————————–
Naia hurried away with red eyes after delivering that ruthless statement.
In the empty space, only Bai Lixin and Song Yuantian remained.
Perhaps due to the nourishment of love, Song Yuantian’s complexion had improved significantly. When he saw Bai Lixin approaching, he took out a black box from his backpack and placed it on the ground.
“Bai Lixin, I obtained this thing a few days ago and wanted to give it to you, but I couldn’t find the opportunity. So, I’m giving it to you now.”
“Although I still don’t know what this thing is for, it belongs to you.”
The mysterious black box exuded a menacing aura as it sat on the ground. Bai Lixin stared at it for a moment, then heard Dr. Sang express a doubt from behind, “Is this yours?”
Bai Lixin observed Dr. Sang’s expression. “Yes, could it be yours? Have you seen it before?”
A peculiar expression flickered across Dr. Sang’s face. “I have seen it. I might know what it’s for.”
Everyone turned their attention to him. “What’s its purpose?”
Dr. Sang quickly glanced at the others and walked to Xia Chi’s side. Xia Chi froze, looking at the tall man in front of him tensely. “Brother… brother-in-law, what’s the matter?”
Dr. Sang blankly looked around Xia Chi before his gaze settled on the package in Xia Chi’s hand.
Taking the package from Xia Chi, the man returned to the black box.
Curiously, everyone leaned over, including Bai Lixin, who was genuinely intrigued.
The man opened the package and removed the head of the Zombie King, which had a stone stuffed in its mouth.
The Zombie King’s face had turned red, and he tried to curse, but his mouth was blocked once again. He could only stare at the crowd with fierce eyes. If looks could kill, they all felt they would have been killed several times over by the Zombie King.
The man hesitated for a moment, then slapped the Zombie King’s cheek back and forth twice. The gag immediately shattered and fell out of his mouth.
The zombie King’s expression changed, and he immediately began to scold. “Bastard! Beast! You wait for me! I’ll never let you go, making me suffer this kind of humiliation…” Before the Zombie King could finish his scolding, the man threw the Zombie King’s head directly into the black box.
The Zombie King had no Idea what was happening. In the next second, countless terrifying black threads emerged from the surface of the black box, scrambling to wrap around the Zombie King’s head.
The Zombie King’s expression suddenly changed, and he yelled for help in fear.
But the louder he barked, the more excited the black lines seemed to become.
They wrapped around the Zombie King’s head one by one until they pulled the entire Zombie King’s head into the black box in an instant.
The surface of the black box quickly returned to calm, and as everyone stood in a daze, the black box belched in a strangely human manner and spat out a gray stone that had lost its luster.
In the next second, earth-shaking changes began to appear on the surface of the black box.
It slowly floated into the air, and the building blocks on the black box, which seemed impossible to fit together, quickly deformed, assembled, and arranged. In an instant, they formed a Rubik’s Cube.
The six-color Rubik’s Cube floated above everyone’s heads. It flew around everyone, then stopped at Bai Lixin’s side. It happily circled Bai Lixin twice before hovering over his body.
It was just an ordinary-looking Rubik’s Cube, but everyone seemed to see a demon smiling when they saw it.
Bai Lixin tentatively reached out his index finger to touch it, and the magic box immediately slid onto his hand obediently like a cat.
The sound of the escape system suddenly rang out.
[Ding! Congratulations to the player Bai Lixin for obtaining a god-level item—the Gluttonous Rubik’s Cube.]
[Glutton Rubik’s Cube Ability: ? ? ?]
A look of surprise flashed in Bai Lixin’s eyes, and he slowly placed the Rubik’s Cube into his backpack.
Another item whose ability is unknown, was this another gift from that dog man? Otherwise, with his luck, he probably wouldn’t have obtained a god-level item.
At the same time, the sound of the system echoed above everyone’s heads.
[Ding! Congratulations to all players, the source of the zombie virus has been completely eliminated.]
[The following activities will summarize the recovery efforts.]
[Since the recovery mission began, with the relentless efforts and assistance of all players, the surviving humans have learned to be self-sufficient and have acquired certain life skills. Simultaneously, the zombie virus has been almost entirely eradicated.]
[Congratulations to all players, the civilization recovery mission has reached the completion standard according to the system’s judgment.]
[The system will initiate the copy transfer in five minutes, and the transfer location is the players’ dormitories in the game lobby.]
[In the remaining five minutes, please fully immerse yourselves in the celebration of civilization and enjoy this fleeting joy and happiness!]
Before the final sound of the system completely dissipated, a huge countdown appeared above the players’ heads.
Song Yuantian didn’t feel any joy but became flustered. He tightly held onto the zombie queen beside him and nervously looked at Bai Lixin and Dr. Sang. “Hurry up, there’s no time.”
The zombie queen comforted Song Yuantian by patting him, saying, “Even if you don’t succeed, you’ve tried your best. We’ve been very happy these past few days, and you should have no regrets.”
Under Song Yuantian’s anxious gaze, Dr. Sang took out an injection from his pocket and handed it to Song Yuantian, saying, “It’s a pity indeed. It seems like you have enjoyed just a few days. Give this a try when you have thought about it. I researched it overnight.”
Song Yuantian quickly took the injection, looking expectantly at the zombie queen.
The Zombie Queen rubbed her brow and extended her arms.
The moment Song Yuantian administered the injection, the system sounded once again.
[Ding! Player resurrection detected: X1. Currently, there are 283 players remaining in the copy. The teleportation will commence in three minutes. Simultaneously, the copy will initiate the background playback.]
With the sound of the system, the zombie queen’s body slowly began to change.
Her original height of over two meters visibly returned to normal. Simultaneously, the black patterns gradually faded, and her pale scaly skin became soft.
Seeing the change in the zombie queen, Song Yuantian was momentarily surprised. Then he suddenly remembered something and hastily took off his clothes to wrap around her.
However, the narrow coat didn’t provide much coverage. Just as Hong Yue was about to disappear, a huge cloak suddenly descended from the sky and covered the two of them.
Everyone looked at the direction where the cloak was thrown from. Samael, who always regarded the cloak as his own body, had removed it and covered Song Yuantian and Hong Yue at the most critical moment.
In the spot where Samael had been standing, a tall, handsome blond man now stood.
His blond hair was thick and slightly curly, and his angular facial features exuded nobility. His eyes were golden-red. The golden hair and golden pupils shone brightly in the dark night, resembling luminous gems.
The man’s eyes were deep, and beneath the bridge of his straight nose were slightly pursed lips.
“The future of Blue Star does not belong to any individual but should be in the hands of all Blue Star people.”
The decayed body under the exquisite and luxurious clothes gradually aged, and the old body could no longer bear the heavy weight. It struggled to crawl on the ground.
“You are very similar to someone I knew before,” Bai Lixin squatted on the ground, fireworks blooming above his head. The colorful orange sparks fell into the young man’s eyes, dyeing his already vast eyes with brilliant colors.
