Traveling through the apocalypse to raise a beauty

"This flower cake is delicious." Zhen Qing brought the cake he had taken a bite of to Qiu Bieyi's mouth.

Qiu Bieyi smiled and lowered his head to take a bite, "Yeah, not bad."

Wen Sheng was holding the bag of milk that Gu Yuan had brought over. Hearing this, he stopped and said, "Delicious? I want some too. Yuan, let's go back and buy some."

Gu Yuan took the milk tea handed over by the stall owner, paid the money and turned to look over, "Why didn't you say that just now?"

"I just looked at other things. Actually, the rice noodles made next door are quite fragrant. I want to eat that." Wen Sheng shook Gu Yuan's little finger, "Let's go."

Gu Yuan: “.........”

The boy handed the milk tea to Qiu Bieyi and glanced at Zhenqing, whose eyes were sparkling. "Ah Qing, do you want some too?"

"Yeah, yeah." Zhenqing remembered that there seemed to be a barbecue across the street, "I also saw some barbecue, should we bring some to Ayun and the others? Muyao likes to eat that."

"Okay, let's go." Gu Yuan nodded.

Half an hour ago, the four of them returned to the bustling market, eating while shopping, and bought small portions of anything that looked good and tasted good to share.

Ten minutes later, Wen Sheng slurped up a bowl of rice noodles as he wished. Qiu Bieyi saw how deliciously Wen Sheng was eating and bought one too. Finally, they sat on the table and chairs next to the stall and ate together. Zhen Qing bit into the dumplings in the rice noodles. "We've walked halfway through this street. Are you full?"

"This is enough." Gu Yuan ate the rice noodles slowly.

"Ayun said she wanted to eat fried chicken..." Qiu Bieyi handed Zhenqing a barbecue skewer, but before he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed.

Seeing this, the three of them ignored the food in their mouths. Gu Yuan put down his chopsticks and frowned slightly, "What happened?"

Lan Yun and Mu Yao were both in the lab. How could anything go wrong when they just said they wanted to eat fried chicken? Among them, Wei Yang's actions were the most dangerous. Zhen Qing reacted immediately and asked in panic, "Is it A Yang?"

The rune on Qiu Bieyi's forehead flickered slightly, and his expression was serious, "Let's go to the alley."

The three of them stood up immediately and followed Qiu Bieyi along the flow of people towards the alley where they had been teleported from before.

As soon as he entered the alley, Qiu Bieyi's face darkened. He grabbed Zhenqing's hand and used space to teleport back to the room in the priest's mansion.

Wen Sheng subconsciously glanced at the surrounding environment, the familiar room and the four puppets sitting on each side, before he spoke: "Ayi, what happened?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a crack appeared in the air of the room. Qiu Bieyi teleported over to catch Wei Yang who fell out of the crack. The boy was held firmly in Qiu Bieyi's princess hug. His face was pale, blood was oozing from the corners of his lips, and he was holding a butterfly in his hand.

Han Qing turned into a thigh-thick snake and coiled on the table. Seeing the four people's worried and anxious faces, he swallowed all the words in his heart, opened the barrier, and spit out the snake's tongue, "Master, please take a look first."

Zhen Qing quickly patted Wei Yang's face with shaking hands, releasing his blood to comfort him, while calling out in a trembling voice, "A Yang, A Yang?!"

Gu Yuan and Wen Sheng almost rushed over. Gu Yuan's eyes were filled with anxiety. He raised his hand and handed the butterfly that Wei Yang was protecting to Wen Sheng, then pinched the boy's wrist to feel his pulse.

Wen Sheng reached out and took the butterfly, connecting with Lingjie's mental power. He breathed a sigh of relief when he sensed that Lingjie's mental power was not damaged at all, "Lingjie? Are you okay?"

The butterfly's wings fluttered gently a few times, and it transformed into a human form and collapsed directly into Wen Sheng's arms. Wen Sheng helped him sit on the chair next to him. Zhen Qing released his blood again to comfort him and wrapped him up. He took a step forward and looked at the boy carefully, "Ling Jie, are you injured?"

Lingjie shook his head towards Zhenqing to calm his pounding heart. He tried to speak several times but got choked up halfway and was unable to utter a word.

Zhen Qing touched his forehead, and a tiny bit of divine power soothed Ling Jie's chaotic spiritual sea, "Slow down, don't rush."

Wen Sheng stroked Ling Jie's back and took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to him.

Qiu Bieyi held the person in both hands and did not put him on the bed for a while. He stood there and looked at Gu Yuan's face which gradually became worse after he felt his pulse, and asked, "How is it?"

Gu Yuan frowned and asked Ling Jie, whose legs were weak, "Did he use any physical or forbidden techniques?"

Ling Jie finally calmed down, tightly grasped the handkerchief Wen Sheng handed to him, nodded at Gu Yuan, and cried in his voice:

"Yes, it's a physical skill called the Nine Killing Formation! Ayang turned pale after using it, and I could sense that his body functions were rapidly declining. But this is the first time I've heard of that physical skill, and I've never seen Ayang use it before."

Qiu Bieyi covered Wei Yang's body with a layer of photosynthetic treatment, the rune on his forehead flickered slightly, and he sent all the puppets in the room into their respective mustard seed spaces before placing the young man on the couch.

While taking the potion to stabilize the riot of supernatural powers from the mustard seed space, Gu Yuan searched for the physical skills mentioned by Ling Jie in his mind, "Subordinate physical skills? When did the Nine Killing Formation have subordinate physical skills?"

“I haven’t heard of it either.” Wen Sheng handed Ling Jie a glass of water. He and Wei Yang often discussed with each other, but he had never heard Wei Yang say that he had used it.

Qiu Bieyi took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of Wei Yang's mouth, sat beside the couch and gave Wei Yang treatment, and said softly, "His body is very weak, and the golden flame in his body is rioting. What kind of forbidden technique should it be?"

Gu Yuan almost immediately recalled his reincarnation memories. In each of the ten memories, Wei Yang died at a different time. But he had seen the last side of Wei Yang. The young man had golden cracks all over his body and his face was so white that it was almost transparent. He had delayed one-tenth of the wars one after another. He immediately understood something.

He was so angry that his hair exploded, "He learned it without telling any of us???"

"Otherwise?" Ling Jie stood up and took over Qiu Bieyi's position, and asked in a low voice, "Has his ability stabilized?"

Qiu Bieyi sat on the chair opposite, poured a glass of water and took a sip, "It's stable."

He chuckled and looked at Zhenqing who was standing there in silence. He continued with Gu Yuan's words, his tone inexplicably carrying a hint of bitterness, "He didn't even tell his brother, so why would he tell us?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was dead silence.

If we really want to say who Wei Yang is most open with, Zhenqing has to be ranked ahead of Lingjie. He and Zhenqing grew up together. Before the age of seven, Zhenqing was just a friend and playmate of Wei Yang. Qiu Bieyi was jealous a lot during those years.

Zhenqing looked at Qiu Bieyi helplessly, took out a blanket from the mustard seed space and handed it to Lingjie. When Lingjie straightened the blanket and was about to cover the person with it, his wrist was grabbed.

“Cough, cough, cough.” The corners of Wei Yang’s mouth were still bleeding. He was speechless when he heard what Qiu Bieyi said just after he woke up. He said in a hoarse voice, “Qiu Bieyi, can you please not be so jealous for no reason?”

Lingjie lifted the man up and held him in his arms, the tears that had been in his eyes falling.

Wei Yang first wiped Ling Jie's tears, then took the handkerchief thrown by Gu Yuan and wiped the blood from his mouth. In the silence of everyone, he used the handkerchief to catch the blood he spat out again. He looked at the blood in the handkerchief and laughed, "Ahem, you know everything?"

He threw the handkerchief into the trash can beside him and looked at the blood on his hand. "It's just a little backlash. It will recover in three hours. Don't be angry. I didn't mean to tell you."

"I'm just afraid that if you find out, you won't let me..." He couldn't continue.

"You are not allowed to use it?" Gu Yuan sneered, and took out a handkerchief and threw it at his head. He was angry just by looking at his expression, and said in a somewhat aggressive tone: "You'd better explain everything else at once."

Wei Yang took off the handkerchief on his head and said in silence for a moment, "I have also undergone some physical transformation and fused some special gene sequences, but you can rest assured that it will not have any effect on my body."

Zhenqing hid the complexity in his eyes, his throat was dry and tight, "When did it happen?"

The boy smiled while holding his handkerchief, "When I was five years old."

The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

"Does it hurt?" Zhenqing asked softly.

“Forgot.” Wei Yang patted Ling Jie’s shaking hands soothingly. “It was just a matter of closing my eyes. I did it voluntarily, Qing, you know that.”

"What do I know?!" Zhen Qing stepped forward and grabbed Wei Yang's shoulders with both hands. There was anger in his voice, but worry and heartache in his eyes. "Wei Yang! You are so brave! They don't know what gene sequence fusion is specifically, how could I not know?!"

"Five?"

Zhen Qingqi's eyes turned red, "That year was the third year since the gene sequencing experiment was officially launched! You were the third batch of test subjects! What did you tell me that year?!!"

Qiu Bieyi immediately grabbed the man's waist and pulled him back, but unexpectedly Zhenqing stretched out his hands to pry them apart. The boy's beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with tears as he asked, "You lied to me?"

Wei Yang had lowered his head to accept the scolding, but he didn't expect Zhenqing to cry. He quickly raised his head to explain, "Gene sequence fusion was already very mature back then, and it wasn't considered an experiment. I didn't agree to it at first."

Zhenqing's voice suddenly rose, "You didn't agree in front of me, but you agreed behind my back?"

“I…” Wei Yang was so anxious that his brain was smoking. This matter was indeed his problem. “Ah Qing, I…”

The boy lowered his head and said weakly, "I'm sorry, this is me..."

Zhenqing interrupted him and said it for him, "This is your responsibility!"

"It's been thirteen years, Wei Yang."

Zhen Qing clenched his fists, his voice filled with helplessness, "Since you knew what an heir was, you have been covered in blood 1,327 times out of 1,327 trials. You have never taken your body seriously."

As soon as these words came out, everyone trembled, especially Ling Jie. His eyelashes trembled slightly, and the hand holding the boy slowly tightened. He passed away when he was five years old, and the experience that Zhen Qing mentioned also started when Wei Yang was five years old.

"That's all in the past, Qing."

Wei Yang reached out and shook the ribbon on Zhen Qing's clothes, and said softly, "I haven't been there since I was twelve. I listened to you and didn't fight desperately. I changed. Besides, this is my assessment, and Gu Yuan, as the heir, also has it."

Gu Yuan: “............” What a good way to divert trouble to others.

"I just used my brain." Gu Yuan immediately brushed it off, "It's a different concept from yours, okay?"

Wei Yang glanced at him, and Gu Yuan felt a chill on his back. "He has been to the Consciousness Dungeon Training 375 times, and his pain sensitivity is 100%."

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan cursed Wei Yang in his heart as a bastard and laughed dryly, "That is also a necessary assessment."

"I remember you only need to open 50%, right?" Wen Sheng's eerie voice sounded from behind Gu Yuan.

"Yuanyuan, are you lying to me?"

Gu Yuan: “.........”

Seeing that Zhenqing's attention had been diverted, Wei Yang immediately activated the sound jade to transmit his voice and said, "Mu Yao has also undergone gene fusion and participated in the Shadow Finding Space Trial."

Mu Yao and Lan Yun, who had just arrived at the gate and were about to knock on the barrier, were stunned by the blow.

Lan Yun uttered "ah" slowly, then tilted his head to glance at Mu Yao.

Mu Yao: "............"

Han Qing was considerate and directly teleported the two of them into the room.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was indeed somewhat depressing, Lan Yun found a seat and sat down, and asked in a tepid tone, "I seemed to have heard of gene sequence fusion just now. Is that what I thought?"

Qiu Bieyi replied considerately, "It's the one you were thinking of."

Mu Yao: “….”

The room fell silent again.

Mu Yao still didn't know what happened before, but she noticed that the atmosphere was not right, so she whispered, "Didn't everyone who participated in the exchange undergo gene sequence fusion? The Shadow Finding Space is a forbidden area in the military academy, but it is also the place where one can improve strength the fastest. Those who are not strong enough cannot enter even if they want to."

Everyone: “..........” You’re done.

Zhen Qing laughed angrily. He followed Qiu Bieyi's strength and sat on the stool, staring at Wei Yang, "Diverting attention, right?"

Wei Yang continued to bow his head.

Zhenqing knocked on the table, "Ayun."

"Ah?" Lan Yun blinked.

"You come and explain to everyone what gene sequence fusion is."

"Okay." Lan Yun glanced at Mu Yao who was standing over there as punishment.

"The gene sequence is obtained from hidden genes and talents in organisms as well as artificial changes. The majority of them are from alien species and ancient organisms. The experiment lasted for ten years. The success rate of the first two experiments was 20%, the third was 50%, and the next two were 90%."

"There are three conditions for integrating into the gene sequence. One, golden superpowers, two, top-notch physical fitness, and three..." Lan Yun paused for half a second and said lightly, "The genes must already have mutations."

"The most powerful ones are sequence numbers 000 and 001. No one succeeded in the first two experiments, and I heard that more than ten death row prisoners died. However, I heard that after the third experiment, someone successfully implanted the gene."

"No. 000, life-giving air, No. 001, gravity-force air."

(This is made up by the author! It’s all made up!!!! It has no reality!!!)

Mu Yao and Wei Yang looked at each other and lowered their heads even more.

"Hmm..." Lan Yun tilted her head, "001 is you, right? A-Yao."

Mu Yao felt like she had lost all desire to live. She looked at Lan Yun's deathly gaze and nodded with difficulty.

"As for 000... I don't know." Lan Yun shook her head. "I also heard it from the teacher. The teacher didn't allow me to follow up on this experiment. He said I wasn't good enough."

After going through the whole process, Zhen Qing and the others turned their attention to Wei Yang.

Wei Yang sighed and admitted, "000 is me, 027 is me, 004 is me, and 007 is also me..."

Lan Yun added, "027 nanocrystals hide, 004 bursts out virtual power, and 007 regenerates instantly."

Mu Yao, who didn't dare to speak, looked up at Wei Yang with disbelief. She knew that Wei Yang was from the same group as her, so when they met again that year, she said to Wei Yang, "I didn't have time to add you as my friend last time we met."

But she didn't know this boy was so brave, "Fuck, that fearless boss back then was you?!"

Add oil to the fire.

Wei Yang scratched his hair under everyone's death gaze, and said with nine parts of remorse and one part of pain, "I was wrong, I was really wrong!"

"I just hid it from you two. You know everything else! For the past five or six years, I have been with you almost every day, especially Mianmian. We have hardly ever been apart. No matter what mission I was on, those confidentiality agreements were useless in front of you. Don't hold me against me anymore. I was really wrong."

"There won't be a next time, I swear! If I keep something from you again I will... Ugh!"

Zhen Qing cast a silencing spell on Wei Yang, "Okay, I forgive you."

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Qiu Bieyi was considering whether to tell Gu Yuan about what Han Qing had shared with him, when Gu Yuan spoke.

"Remember what you said today. If you don't keep your word, I will report this to Aunt Yumi."

Wei Yang pursed his lips, "You're so cruel."

Gu Yuan snorted coldly, crossing his arms across his chest, "Now let's talk about why you were in such a hurry to come back. Ling Jie and you were not in the right state when you came back, and Han Qing obviously had something to say."

Zhen Qing lifted Wei Yang's ban on speaking. The young man's face froze and his tone was serious:

"We found a white spherical building in the base. Inside, we saw a large crystal. I felt an overwhelming sense of oppression and extremely powerful supernatural energy from the crystal, as if it was the sum of tens of millions of abilities."

"I found that the entire base was filled with formations, as if there was an endless supply of power constantly being input into the crystal."

"Once it explodes, the entire Qinghe will be unrecognizable."
