End of the World Cycle

Chapter 36: Turtle in a jar.

That night, it began to drizzle. The remaining seven people were already waiting in the car. Xie Qin put all the supplies into the space. Before he had time to close the door of the warehouse, an unexpected figure appeared at the door.

"Teacher Zhou!" Zhou Lili appeared at the door of the storage warehouse, his face full of anxiety. Looking closely, there were some scars on his face and his knees were all rubbed raw.

Zhou Lili came back six days earlier than the original ten days. She thought she could catch up with them if she set out tonight and traveled overnight. But Zhou Lili's appearance undoubtedly gave her the most ominous premonition.

"Hurry up, our route has been sold out by Liu Zhengdong. Du Mingxuan knows our plan."

"What do you mean?"

"Liu Zhengdong knows that it was you who killed his brother and absorbed his brother's fire ability."

"How would he know?"

"Du Mingxuan should have researched your abilities. Do you remember Tang Dingshan? He was the one who led the team that hunted us. He came to the First Base a long time ago. And Huang Bing, the hacker, restored all the surveillance in the prison when you brought the kid back from prison. They already know all your abilities. They already have ways to deal with you."

"Where are my mom and the others?"

"We were followed as soon as we left the base. Ranran led us to avoid their pursuit all the way to Bitan City. We were forced into the city. The city was full of zombies. We didn't dare to go deep into the city, so we faced them on the elevated road around the city. There were too many of them. They were all level three or above mutants. There were more than fifty of them, and they had guns. We couldn't defeat them at all."

"you mean?...."

"No, no! They are all safe. All those who chased us are dead. I asked Ranran and Liu Bo to stay and protect everyone, and drove back to give you the news."

"How did you win?" Xie Qin was very puzzled.

"I don't know either. After Xiao Jin was frightened and started crying, her crying attracted all the zombies in the city. You didn't see it. Hundreds of thousands of zombies came over and we all thought we were dead. But those zombies didn't attack us. They killed everyone who was chasing us."

At this point, Xie Qin finally understood that Xie Jin had been carefully cared for by them until he was two years old, and he was no different from an ordinary child. This made Xie Qin forget for a moment that his little brother was a corpse king.

"Where are they now?"

"In the central building of Bitan City. Those zombies seem to be protecting us. They are guarding outside the building and won't come in. They are just wandering outside. Sister Zhang and the others are staying there for the time being. It's safe. Let's go quickly."

"it is good."

The two arrived at the parking lot safely. In the car, except for Zhou Lili's mother-in-law and sister-in-law, the rest were all Liu Zhengdong's family. Xie Qin frowned as he looked at them, but in the end he didn't say anything else. He just wanted to take them out first and find a chance to get rid of them. If he touched these people now, he was afraid that they would cause a commotion and attract attention.

It was now 10:40 pm, and the streets were deserted. I slowly headed out of the city and saw a few people driving back. As usual, the entrance was strictly checked, but there were only two security guards sitting there lazily at the exit.

Without any hesitation, Xie Qin drove towards the exit. Just when he was about to leave the city, a mercenary group ran over and laid a one-meter-wide road spike at the exit.

Then the sound of a car was heard behind him. The high beam of the car behind him was extremely dazzling, so Xie Qin reversed and drove towards the entrance.

The fourth-order spiritual power was activated, and it directly controlled the people around. The world was quiet for a moment. A strong electric wave sizzled in Xie Qin's brain. Blood flowed from his nose.

Xie Qin had no time to wipe it off and quickly withdrew his mental strength.

"Turn the steering wheel!" Xie Qin said to Zhou Lili who was standing beside him. Zhou Lili immediately reached out and pushed the steering wheel. Xie Qin turned around and stretched out his hands through the window. A thick wall of fire blocked all the pursuers. With the sound of a gunshot, a piercing pain came from the palm of his hand. The bullet pierced the palm of Xie Qin's right hand.

"Ah!" Unable to hold back the scream, Xie Qin retracted his hand and held it tightly. He frantically pulled at the tissue beside him to stop the bleeding.

"Xie Qin!" Because of this unexpected change, Xie Qin's foot on the accelerator suddenly exerted force. Zhou Lili was so frightened that his hands froze. The car did not drive to the scheduled exit, but directly hit the roadblock and rushed out of the city.

"Look ahead! Go!" Xie Qin almost gritted his teeth and squeezed out the words, signaling Zhou Lili to hold the steering wheel. At this time, Zhou Lili half leaned over and took control of the direction with both hands. In this way, Xie Qin in the driver's seat was completely blocked.

Another gunshot rang out, and the car changed direction instantly, with warm blood dripping onto Xie Qin's face. Just by looking up, Xie Qin saw the big bloody hole on the back of Zhou Lili's head.

There was also a sniper outside the city, and a bullet hit Zhou Lili right between the eyebrows. The car crashed into a big tree on the side of the road. The strong impact and the influence of the radio waves made Xie Qin faint.

When he woke up again, he was already in a sealed titanium alloy with nothing in it. It was very quiet around him, with only the buzzing sound coming from the four fist-sized ventilation ports on his head.

She was naked, and her palms were bandaged. There were also a few purple needle holes on her wrists. The feeling of weakness instantly made Xie Qin realize that she had been drained of a lot of blood.

Standing up slowly, Xie Qin carefully observed his surroundings and saw that there were cameras in the eight corners of the room. He was being observed like an experimental animal.

I must have seen myself wake up, and the room where I was locked up slowly rose up. Thirty seconds later, I appeared in the middle of the laboratory. There was a layer of glass inside the titanium alloy that I was locked up in. At this moment, I appeared naked in front of a dozen researchers.

Xie Qin saw Lu Chaoyun in the middle, his eyes looking at him full of curiosity. But there was no trace of friendship at all. He had never been to this laboratory before, and everything around him was more advanced than the places he had been to before. This could also explain why Lu Chaoyun could raise his own clones in a place with simple equipment.

Looking around, there were three transparent rooms around him, just like the one he was in. There were people inside. There was only one person in each room, two men and one woman. The room was full of the electric waves that blocked the release of his mental power. Xie Qin couldn't feel who they were, but it was obvious that they were also experimental subjects.

"Why is there no crystal in your brain?" The person who asked this question was Lu Chaoyun. Xie Qin looked at him and hesitated for a moment before starting to answer him.

"I don't know. I didn't breed crystals when my superpowers awakened." If Xie Qin wants to live, he has to let these people see the value of his research.

"So, even if you absorb someone else's crystal, it's useless?"

"Yes. Their abilities will be directly dispersed to every part of my body. Not just one place."

"Our machines cannot detect it. How many superpowers do you have now?"

"Don't you all know already? Why are you testing me again?"

Lu Chaoyun looked at Xie Qin who was questioning him and was stunned for a moment. The tone was the same as the one Xie Qin usually used when talking to him. His eyes changed and then became clear again.

Xie Qin could see that for a moment, Lu Chaoyun's eyes did not look like a test subject when he looked at her. But it was only for a moment. If possible, this person would die in his hands.

The interrogation lasted only ten minutes, and what they knew was the same as what she said. The only thing she missed was that these people didn't know that she had a new space-related ability.

All my test samples were normal, everything showed that I was just an ordinary person. I took X-rays of every part of my body, but nothing was found.

No matter how much Du Mingxuan wanted to take his special ability for himself, he couldn't find a place to start. The room sank and returned to the state when he just woke up. A small window appeared on the right wall, and a lunch box was handed in by a mechanical arm.

Xie Qin opened the meal normally, sat on the floor, and began to eat with chopsticks in his left hand, which was very inconvenient. Even though he felt something strange above his head, he still did not avoid it.

A stinging pain came from his shoulder. Xie Qin glanced at it and saw that it was the tranquilizer gun. Then he lost consciousness. Only by cooperating enough could he know what these people were going to do to him, so that he could survive and find a chance to leave here.

When I opened my eyes, my hands, feet, neck, and waist were all fixed, and I was lying on the table with my arms and legs spread out. Standing next to me was Lu Chaoyun, injecting a 50 ml tube of medicine into my vein.

"What is this?" Xie Qin asked calmly.

"Superpower inhibitor."

"Will this thing work for me?"

"Of course the normal ones won't work for you. This is a new one I developed. The dosage is larger, and different abilities require different reagents. You'll need four tubes."

"You're not going to lock me up by calling me this?"

"Mr. Du wants to see you. So before that, I want to make sure you are not a threat to him."

"Do you believe in rebirth?"

When Lu Chaoyun heard this, he paused for a moment, then shook his head slightly as if he was smiling, as if he was helpless.

"So what if I believe you? Didn't you know I was reborn when you controlled my mind last time?"

"Since you have been reborn, don't you know that the person who wants to kill you is Du Mingxuan?"

Lu Chaoyun sneered and did not respond to Xie Qin's words, but asked back.

"What about you? Are you also reborn? In which year did you reborn?"

"Not really. I just happened to die once. I didn't experience it, but I know exactly what happened to each of you." Xie Qin shook his head and said calmly.

"Oh? So what you know is that I was killed by Du Yuexuan?"

"Ah."

"It seems that the ending you know is not accurate." After saying this, the fourth potion was injected into Xie Qin's body. The whole person instantly became light and gradually lost consciousness.

Xie Qin was puzzled. Could it be that what was said in the book was not all true? Could it be that the world he lived in was more than just a book?

Xie Qin woke up groggily, lying on a soft and comfortable bed. The room was bright and beautifully lit by the warm yellow light. It was like a well-decorated mansion before the end of the world. The wind from the air conditioner was also very comfortable, and the air was filled with the pleasant smell of pine.

Listening to the sound of water splashing, Xie Qin turned around and found someone in the bathroom on the right. He didn't have much strength, but he could support himself and sit up halfway.

The arctic velvet pillow at the head of the bed just supported her waist, and it was very comfortable to lie on it. Even the pure white silk pajamas made her feel very comfortable.

The bathroom door was opened, and the person who came out really surprised Xie Qin. It was Du Mingxuan. Du Mingxuan had just finished taking a shower, with only a bath towel draped over his shoulders, and his right hand was raised to wipe his hair easily.

She was wearing nothing below. After just one glance, Xie Qin quickly avoided her sight. Du Mingxuan chuckled and walked towards Xie Qin.

It must be said that Du Mingxuan's appearance was impeccable. He was the best-looking person Xie Qin had ever seen. He was tall and strong, and his muscles were perfectly sculpted. They were all chocolate-colored. At 37 years old, he didn't look old at all.

Judging from his figure and appearance, he looked to be about 25 years old. Xie Qin even thought that this person had delayed aging. This person was the same age as her mother, but in comparison, they looked like two generations apart.

One side of the bed collapsed. A strong hand pinched Xie Qin's chin and turned to the right. Xie Qin had to look at Du Mingxuan, who shook his head and smiled.

"I am not interested in you, a shriveled bean sprout. But I need a strong offspring, and you are the most powerful woman I have ever seen."

"I'm only seventeen."

"I know, but the data shows that you are already capable of conception."

"Then how do you know that the offspring of you and me will be powerful?"

"I can chat with you. Get familiar with something so that I won't feel awkward when doing intimate things with you."

"So you were reborn too?"

Du Mingxuan was still laughing but didn't deny it. He lifted a corner of the quilt and crawled into the bed, leaning against the pillow side by side with Xie Qin. He raised his hand and hugged Xie Qin into his arms.

Xie Qin did not resist. Instead, she gave up her strength and leaned obediently on Du Mingxuan's left chest.

"I like your smell and your appearance. I wanted to keep you for a few more years, but I didn't expect you to be so restless and get so many scars. I don't like these scars. I'm a little angry."

"So you were also reborn?" Xie Qin continued to ask.

"You want to know so much? I can tell you, but the prerequisite is that you have to give me a few more children." After Du Mingxuan said this, he put his nose close to the top of Xie Qin's head, gently inhaled the girl's fragrance, and began to talk about himself.
