16 years

For a long time, Joe Eden had been having the same dream over and over again.

The scene in the dream is completely different from reality. He strategized and was ahead of everyone else. Agents from various countries chased him and investigated him, but none of them could hinder the evolution of human beings.

He established a complete ecological hierarchy under the glory of the "Queen of Ants", and then extracted the grown Eden One from Irene to resurrect his children.

Everything went so smoothly, as if he had already completed his glorious journey to heaven.

But the atmosphere of this dream will soon take a turn for the worse. On his magnanimous path, a person suddenly intervenes, destroying his plans again and again.

Every time he was a little closer than the last time, the most recent time, Joe Eden even felt that he was right in front of his eyes.

The nightmares fragmented his sleep, and Joe Eden became irritable without knowing why.

He has seen his old enemy countless times in his dreams, but he can only see a vague shadow, an illusory outline. He can't see the other party's face clearly, and he doesn't even know who the other party is.

Until today, this dream has finally materialized.

"So it was you," said Joe Eden quietly.

He stared at Fu Yan, maybe he was more reconciled, or more frightened - he wanted to create a god, but he couldn't figure out why there was such a person in the world who could step on everything he wanted. on the way.

"I don't understand," said Joe Eden. "I've never been able to show my flaws. My plan is perfect, and no one here knows."

"I said it, you told me yourself." Fu Yan sneered, his brows and eyes drooped slightly, and his whole person seemed to have a godlike compassion: "Don't you think that I am the son of God sent by God to stop you—— Let me tell you, you guessed right, I am."

As Fu Yan spoke, he took a step forward and crushed the empty test tube.

"It took me more than ten years to open this door for today." Fu Yan said.

He has gone down many wrong paths, spent countless days up and down in the folded time and space, suffered injuries, even lost his life, struggled, and was riddled with wounds, before he reached this point.

Fu Yan looked sideways at the crack of the door behind him, it was so brittle that it could be opened wide with a slight push, and a steady stream of cold air poured out from inside, making the back of Fu Yan's hand red with ice.

Before that, Fu Yan thought of countless possibilities for the final meeting. He was even infected by Liu Ruosong's way of thinking, and thought of a few fateful duel scenes comparable to blockbuster movies.

But when he got to this point, he was actually very peaceful.

Because to him, Joe Eden himself was not worthy of being his opponent.He is crazy and despicable, ambitious but has no reverence for life, such a lunatic, it is useless to talk to him.

It's better to stab his pain point, maybe it will come sooner.

Fu Yan gave him a dull look, didn't say anything more, but turned around and pressed the door panel with his palm.

"What do you mean ten years!" Joe Eden suddenly shouted: "This plan has not been ten years!"

He is a lunatic, but he hasn't lost his mind yet. He never thought about restarting such a grotesque thing. He only thought that Fu Yan was lying to him.

Fu Yan didn't want to explain to him, they had different positions, and Joe Eden would not believe anything he said.

So he chose a way that Joe Eden could understand best to answer him: "Just take it as a prophecy given to me by the true God."

"Aren't you afraid that I will detonate the research institute!" Joe Eden shouted sternly: "There is a first-class nuclear bomb here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the lights on the square suddenly made a muffled sound without warning, and went dark collectively.

Joe Eden was startled, his eyes couldn't adapt to the darkness in a short period of time, he only felt that there were large areas of black patches in front of him, twisted and mixed together.

The room where Eden No. [-] was stored was also cut off, and only the cold air of the participants was still seeping out.

Fu Yan listened to He Tang's voice in the earphone, and smiled with the corners of his lips curled up.

"Why do you think I'm telling you so much here?" Fu Yan said.

Joe Eden is suspicious and sensitive, and even mercenaries cannot be fully trusted, let alone a nuclear bomb sleeping under his pillow.So Fu Yan guessed that Joe Eden should have exaggerated about this part of the content.

Such a large-scale weapon requires high-precision data communication, and it is absolutely impossible to operate only on a chip-because no matter where the chip is implanted, if Joe Eden falls and bumps, the possibility of accidental touch is too high up.

Therefore, the China Unicom device must have a back door.

Fortunately, Zhao Jincheng brought them an information expert. Fu Yandi thought happily for countless times that Jiang was really old and hot.

With He Tang's worries resolved, Fu Yan didn't need to delay any longer.He had "learned" Joe Eden's skill last time, and it was almost equal to zero. He handcuffed him behind him without much effort, and then walked back to the door alone, without any further hesitation, but He simply pushed open the door in front of him.

The door didn't weigh much and slid inwards with ease.

He pushed open the door vigorously, and instead of looking back at Joe Eden, who was like a headless fly in the dark, he walked into the final destination.

The lights in the storage room were also turned off. Fu Yan pressed on the night vision glasses and looked around.

Contrary to what he imagined, this room is not big, but the ceiling is very high, it seems to be about ten meters long.

On the storage table directly opposite the door is a row of reagent packaging tubes, from left to right, a total of five tubes.

Fu Yan casually picked up a tube and looked at the label on it.

—Exactly the same as what he saw in his memory back then.

Fu Yan suddenly felt that the dust had settled, and he let out a long sigh, as if he had let out all the resentment and unwillingness of the past ten years.

It's funny to say that at the last moment, everything seems to be so easy and within reach.

But only Fu Yan knew how difficult it was.

Fu Yan rounded up the five tubes of medicine in one go, and was about to go out to deal with Joe Eden, when he suddenly heard He Tang's voice coming from the earphone.

"Captain! Come up quickly!" He Tang said in a hurried tone, "This research institute is going to self-destruct!"

Fu Yan was shocked for a moment, and quickly ran out of the storage room.

However, in just half a minute, Joe Eden, who was handcuffed to the ground by him, was suddenly lost together with the handcuffs.

"Captain! Hurry up!" He Tang said, "Just count down in 5 minutes!"

Fu Yan didn't have time to think about it, and rushed to the downhill rope with the potion.He climbed up the nearest corridor on hands and feet, then turned around and ran to the room at the end of the corridor.

"What's going on!" Fu Yan asked: "Didn't the nuclear bomb be intercepted?"

"It's the destruction system that comes with the research institute!" He Tang said, "The lethality shouldn't be that great, but it just started automatically!"

Just now, Fu Yan was keenly aware of this point in time—it should be brought by Eden One, as long as the potion leaves the place without reason, this program will start.

He has no time to think so much now, all he can do is to evacuate quickly.

Zombies were scattered all over the research institute, but luckily they were instinctively afraid of Fu Yan, so none dared to block his way.

Fu Yan almost used the highest training quality in his life to find a shortcut in a short period of time, and rushed to the ground along the internal staff passage.

He didn't have time to join He Tang and the others, but fortunately He Tang seemed to be a little faster than him, and had already reached the evacuation point ahead of time.

Before coming down this time, they reserved a downhill rope at the entrance and exit, and He Tang and the others quickly filed out and sent him a safety message.

Halfway through the time, Fu Yan, who was one step behind, had vaguely realized what "self-destruction" meant—it seemed to be some kind of earthquake, and the research institute began to crumble. There was a crisp sound of surprise.

The zombies fell from the sky, and some of them passed Fu Yan, fell deep into the ground, and fell into rotten flesh.

Fu Yan had no time to care about him, he protected the medicine sample in his arms with one hand, while leaving the staff passage on the top floor, he rushed towards the entrance and exit at high speed.

There were already cracks in the corridor under his feet. As the ground trembled, Fu Yan took a staggered step, jumped forward, and grabbed the reserved downhill rope.

Immediately afterwards, a strong force came from the other end of the rope, and Fu Yan was pulled upwards.

"Didn't I tell you to go first!" Fu Yan was surprised and angry, and the first thing he came up was to slap He Tang on the back of the head: "What are you waiting for!"

"Wait for you!" He Tang gritted his teeth and said back, but he didn't stop moving, he hurriedly pulled Fu Yan up.

After landing on the ground, the communication was fully restored in an instant. Feng Lei and He Feng's channels were connected together, and they all asked them about their situation.

The sound of the earthquake spread to the outside, the warehouse shook violently, and the debris on the head fell straight down.

Fu Yan didn't have time to look closely at the casualties of He Tang and the others, so he led the people away quickly.

Five minutes passed in a flash. Fu Yan and the others almost left the abandoned warehouse. Before they could run 5 meters, the building behind them collapsed, kicking up a large cloud of dust.

There was a deafening explosion in the depths of the ground, and even the ground trembled a few times. Fu Yan's feet went limp, and they almost staggered and fell to the ground.

Reflexively, Fu Yan stretched out his hand to protect the potion on his chest, rolled on the spot, and lay down on the ground.

The sky outside had suddenly brightened, and Fu Yan was a little dizzy from the shock. Before he got up, he felt that his eyes went dark—someone blocked the sky.

The next second, a pair of hands stretched out from the side, grabbed his arm, helped him up from the ground, and carried him to a safe place.

"finished?"

Fu Yan heard Liu Ruosong asking in his ear.

In the end, Joe Eden disappeared, but he couldn't run away. With such a large-scale earthquake in such a short period of time, he couldn't get out of the ground even if he drove a car.

So Fu Yan smiled and said, "It's over."
