"You know about the 'Skynet' set up by the Administration?"

Zhong Yuncong's mind was still half-empty, and when he heard this question, he nodded absent-mindedly, and then heard Zhang Jiahe continue to talk.

"You have also been in the Management Bureau for a while, you know how powerful that 'Skynet' is? If 'Shadow' could cross it, it would have stepped out of the 'Island' long ago...Why did you come in so easily? "

Zhong Yuncong glanced at him, and lowered his eyelids tiredly: "Dad, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Actually, I'm not doing Tai Chi with you, because the answer is obvious." Zhang Jiahe sighed, "If Zong Zhengze hadn't let go, there would be no gap in the 'Skynet', and Xie Cheng would not be able to enter and exit freely."

From this moment, Zhong Yun understood that what his father said was just a supplement to the previous conclusion. For some reason, he suddenly felt uncomfortable, but it was irrefutable, because Zhang Jiahe's analysis was really impeccable.

It seems that this is the only possibility to connect all the details before and after.

Why did Ke Zongzheng do this?

He was indeed troubled by this doubt, but subconsciously he still felt that the Zongju would not harm him.

There is no reason to give it, what must be said is the very old-fashioned kind-he can trust his character.

It sounds very imaginary, but Zhong Yuncong really thinks so.

Zhang Jiahe was a little surprised to see him silent for a long time: "Don't you want to know why he did that?"

Zhong Yun regained his composure and nodded his head: "I think, next time I see him, I'll ask him in person."

His answer was obviously beyond Zhang Jiahe's expectation, and his expression looked incredible: "Ask him? How can you be sure that he will tell you the truth?"

Zhong Yuncong was a little dazed when he was asked, and he calmed down before making a weak voice: "...I can trust him."

As he expected, his father's expression became more and more unbelievable, and there was also a bit of the elder's usual contempt in front of the younger generation: "You have only known him for so long, and you dare to say that you can trust him? You are still a child."

Zhong Yuncong was silent for a while, and his expression gradually became weird. Zhang Jiahe thought he was going to talk back, but never thought, he asked softly: "Dad, do you have any trouble with the Zongju?"

Zhang Jiahe was stunned.

After a while, he sneered and said, "What a good Zong Zhengze, you really know how to be a man, you are the only one who coaxes my son to follow suit, huh?"

Zhong Yuncong looked at his livid face, knowing that his father was very angry, and being stabbed by his words, he was a little embarrassed: "I didn't mean that..."

"What's the point?" Zhang Jiahe's anger remained undiminished. Zhong Yun has never seen him get angry a few times since he was a child. Added a sentence: "You can trust him, but you can't trust me!"

This sentence made Zhong Yun never tense, and couldn't help laughing. Seeing Zhang Jiahe staring at him, he looked back with a smile: "You still said that I am a child, and I think you are naive... This is in Are you jealous?"

Zhang Jiahe was startled again, and then he couldn't hold back, and reached out to knock him on the head: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhong Yun turned his head away, and made a mean face by the way, stirring up his father's anger that had almost disappeared.

"...I think you can't stop beating you little bastard!" Zhang Jiahe pretended to beat someone up, but Zhong Yun had already figured out his temper that was too thunderous and rainy, so he sold it calmly. Mier: "Father, I'm still sick."

Sure enough, Zhang Jiahe lowered his raised slap again, shook his head and sighed: "I really spoiled you."

When Zhong Yuncong heard this, his heart moved, and Xiao Yin's face flashed in his mind. He hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Father, am I really... your son?"

This question is really difficult for him, but sooner or later there must be an answer.

Zhang Jiahe's smile froze on his face, and then gradually faded away.

The originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly became heavy again, like a sponge full of water.

Zhang Jiahe glanced at him with complicated eyes: "You know everything?"

His rhetorical question made Zhong Yuncong's heart sink slowly. Although he had already guessed, after hearing Zhang Jiahe's confirmation with his own ears, Zhong Yuncong was still very depressed.

Zhang Jiahe also had a serious face, and he sighed in a long voice: "Now that you know, I won't hide it from you anymore, yes, you are not my biological son, but my adopted child. But I have always regarded you as my own son... …I hope you understand that."

"I know." Zhong Yuncong spent about half a minute to sort out his emotions, and when he raised his head again, his expression was much calmer, and he reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth: "Is it too abrupt to say thank you suddenly now?" It's a little numb... Let's talk about something else first... I still have some questions, please answer them for me."

Zhang Jiahe: "Just ask."

"Am I from Mengchuan?"

"Yes." Zhang Jiahe answered very simply, paused, and added, "Me too."

"I was born before the virus, right?"

Zhang Jiahe was silent for a while before slowly nodding: "Yes."

"Then why..." Zhong Yuncong trembled at the end, "Only the two of us escaped?"

Zhang Jiahe's silence became longer: "Because I want to protect you."

Zhong Yun never expected this answer.

"Why?" His voice was dry, unable to describe his mood at the moment, "I'm not yours..."

Zhang Jiahe raised his hand to stop him from saying the rest, he sighed: "The reason is very simple - I feel guilty towards you."

Zhong Yuncong was stunned for a moment, and then several conjectures flashed like lightning, for example, Xiao Yin's death.

Including the "Paradise Lost" virus itself, as well as the catastrophe that followed, all of which are inseparable from him.

Zhong Yuncong clenched his hands unconsciously, but a hot tingling suddenly came from his hand. He gasped, looked down, and at some point, a red herpes appeared on the back of his hand.

He glanced roughly, but didn't pay attention, and returned his attention to Zhang Jiahe.

He took a deep breath, and uttered a series of doubts—"Who am I? Who are you? What was the 'New Star' project back then? What happened to the 'Paradise Lost' virus? Tell me the truth."

>>>

Zong Zheng became more and more panicked.

On the third day after taking the medicine, the symptoms that subsided came back again, and there was a tendency of getting worse.

In fact, Zong Zhengzheng had already been mentally prepared for this matter, because he knew that there was no medicine that could cure people who had entered the disease stage.

But he never imagined that after the temporary suppression of that medicine, it would actually cause a rebound, or even a backlash.

He was sure it wasn't an illusion. After waking up this morning, not only did all his physical symptoms come back, but his manic and depressed mental state also came back, and this was what Zong Zheng was afraid of.

He used self-mutilation again to temporarily block his strong tendency to violence. His hands were bloody, and he couldn't find a good piece of meat.

He closed the door of the ward, shivering at the end of the bed, his gaze involuntarily glanced at the box of medicine on the low cabinet.

He has been tortured by various diseases for most of the day, but he still hasn't taken medicine.

If he took it, he didn't know what would happen to him after the next time the effect of the medicine wore off.

Zong Zheng was like a person who was extremely thirsty, and the box of humble medicine was the cup of wine, poisonous yet seductive.

He looked away with difficulty.

No, they will be poisoned to death.

He kept talking to himself, but there was a void in his heart—can he get through it on his own?

Zong Zheng suddenly became desperate again, his eyes returned to the medicine box uncontrollably, his temples twitched - was this medicine really used to save him?

But this medicine was brought by Zong Yuanqi.

How could Yuan Qi harm me?Zong Zhengzheng pressed his forehead against the cold and hard wall, trying to suppress the suspicion in his heart, but it still broke through the ground like a new sprout.

No, I have to go to that Dr. Wu and ask.Zong Zheng thought so, but the problem was that in his current state, he couldn't go out to meet people at all.

In the end, he could only collapse on the bed dejectedly, waiting in fear for the next wave of symptoms.

He tossed and turned for a long time before he closed his eyes in a daze. He never thought that the door rang at an untimely moment.

"Zongju?" Su Xian's voice came from the crack of the door, "Are you awake?"

It's this kid again!Zong Zheng felt restless for a while. Su Xian, who was recovering from illness for the past two days, was probably bored, so he ran to him if he had something to do. He was in good condition before, so it doesn't matter to chat with him for a few minutes, just pass the time. , but now...

He restrained himself for a long time before he managed to make his voice sound normal: "Is there anything wrong? If there's nothing else, please go back. I'm a little tired now."

"Uh, there's something wrong..." I didn't expect that kid to be so ignorant. Although Zong Zheng was extremely impatient, he also knew that Su Xian was not a person without manners. Since he said so, it seemed that something was really wrong.

"Just talk about it." He straightened up slowly, his eyes wandered aimlessly, and finally fell in a certain direction.

Su Xian looked at the closed door, it seemed that Zong Zheng had no intention of opening the door for him.

He was very surprised, it didn't look like a boss, but the situation was urgent, and he didn't care about being neglected, so he just stood outside the door and reported.

"Do you still remember those robbers before? They were the guys who changed from ordinary people to supernatural beings after being injected with some special medicine. I took someone to catch one a few days ago, and the injury was also suffered at that time." Yes. Later, 'Agni' took over my job. The day before yesterday, I finally wiped out that gang. During the scuffle, three of them were killed, and two were left alive. After bringing them back, it took another day and night to pry them open. Mmm... It was supposed to be 'Agni' who was supposed to report, but because they are all busy, and I am idle anyway, so I volunteered to take over this job."

When Su Xian said this, he paused for a moment, but there was still no movement in the ward. He even doubted whether the Zongju Bureau was listening to him.

Without getting a response, he shrugged and continued on his own: "Then we found out that there are other experiments like this. This group is just the first batch of experimental products, released to test the water...According to their account, The next batch of experimental products will likely be released in the near future... and there are not a few of them."

After finishing his report, he nervously waited for the leader's instructions, but he waited for several minutes without any reply.

He finally couldn't hold back anymore and began to knock on the door: "Zongju? Are you... asleep?"

After knocking a few times, the door panel still didn't move. Su Xian became anxious, fearing that something would happen to the people inside, and prepared to forcefully break in regardless of his unrecovered body.

At this moment, the door of the ward opened unexpectedly.

Zong Zheng looked very pale and bloodless, he looked at Su Xian expressionlessly: "Come in."
