Chapter 412 Little Stone and Little Ginseng
Chapter 412 Little Stone and Little Ginseng
<>
Faced with a variety of buttons, Yu Liu finally decided to try pressing one at random.
She avoided red because, in her understanding, red was almost always associated with bad things. After much deliberation, Yu Liu finally pressed the green button.
She prayed silently, and then the glass in front of her suddenly shattered, revealing a door-like structure. The glass serving as the door seemed to liquefy, merging directly into the adjacent glass, making it appear as if a door had been forgotten, leaving a completely empty hole.
Seeing this, Yu Liu couldn't help but marvel at her own good luck.
She rushed into the room and tried to wake the little ginseng: "A-Ning? A-Ning!"
"Wake up!"
The little ginseng's bound hands and feet left her helpless. She dared not operate the buttons whose function she had no idea. The metal binding the little ginseng looked very powerful. Yu Liu could only mobilize limited willpower at the moment, so she could only rely on the little ginseng to break free on its own once it regained consciousness.
The little ginseng's consciousness was fluctuating, and in the hazy state, it seemed that it could hear a person's voice.
"Ah Ning, wake up..."
That sound... is from stones...
Stone!! Stone!! Stone is in danger!! Yes, Major Wang said he's already sent men to capture Stone. No, I can't sleep!! If I sleep, Stone will be in danger! I have to go save Stone!!
Little Ginseng struggled to wake up, his eyelids slowly opening a crack. The light above his head stung his eyes, but the other figure beside him made him reluctant to close his eyes.
"Stone……"
"Ah Ning, you're awake! Quick, change back to your original form!"
Yu Liu wasn't sure how much demonic power the little ginseng had left, but returning to its original form was almost every demon's instinct; it was something she could do with a thought. Once it returned to its original form, the things that were binding the little ginseng's hands and feet would be useless.
The little ginseng is very obedient. Even though his mind is blank and he has no idea what's going on, obeying the stone has become an instinct for him.
The ginseng that has transformed back into a real ginseng is about 30 to 40 centimeters long, and its roots can be clearly seen to resemble a human figure, with a few leaves on top of its head.
Yu Liu quickly transformed back into human form, picked up the small ginseng, and was about to run away, but as she turned around, she saw a figure standing by the door.
It's that PhD.
"When did you arrive?"
Yu Liu was a little nervous and subconsciously hid the small ginseng behind her back.
“No need to hide anymore, I’ve seen it all.” A smile appeared on the doctor’s aged face.
He took a white lab coat from his arm, unfolded it, and shook it: "Come here, put this on."
Yu Liu took a wary step back: "What are you going to do?"
The doctor shook his head and smiled: "Come and put it on, then I'll see you off."
"But don't try to fool me!" Yu Liu didn't believe this guy.
The doctor sighed helplessly: "I really meant no harm. Perhaps you don't know it yet, but please believe me, I do have a connection with you, and I genuinely want to send you away."
Yu Liu couldn't see the complexity in his eyes, but she certainly couldn't sense any malice. "I made a mistake once, and everything I'm doing now is atonement."
Yu Liu slowly shook her head. "I don't believe it."
"It's okay if you don't believe me, after all, you haven't experienced it yet in this lifetime."
The old man's words sent a shiver down Yu Liu's spine. This life? What did that mean? Could the other person... be reborn?
Ignoring the doubt in Guan Yuliu's eyes, as if speaking to Yuliu, yet also to herself, the other person sighed. "You might not believe me, but I'm only 30 years old this year."
30? Yu Liu gasped. The other person's aged face was full of wrinkles, and he looked to be at least 90.
“I don’t blame anyone for how I ended up like this; it’s what I deserve.” A memory flashed in his eyes. “That was a long, long time ago. I lied to someone. He was a very good and innocent person. To be honest, I was obsessed with developing a zombie vaccine back then. I knew his blood had a miraculous effect on the zombie virus, so I pestered him and cut a piece off his body to study it. But the research ultimately failed.”
"He... saved many people, many people were saved from becoming zombies because of him, but human nature is greedy. Every time they were injured, they would ask him for help, which is not a safe way at all. They wanted to get the vaccine so that they would never be troubled by the zombie virus again, so they asked me to help them. Together we... dug out his heart and extracted his hematopoietic stem cells, wanting to have his blood flowing through our veins..."
“He’s not human. No matter how much he becomes like us, he’s still not human. I understand humans, but I don’t understand him…”
"The experiment failed as expected, and the apocalypse truly arrived. Without him, everyone would never be safe again after being injured. Everyone blamed me, saying that I didn't have enough confidence and why I had to take action. I was crazy at the time, but I was also encouraged by them. They blamed me for the experiment's failure. At that moment, I suddenly saw the greed of humanity and regretted it."
"So right now, all I want to do is help him."
These words matched one of the people in the information Yu Liu had obtained: the scientist who had once studied ginseng but ultimately failed.
The other person was indeed young, but already had a great reputation in the industry. Little Ginseng became friends with him, and for the sake of his friend and to end the apocalypse, Little Ginseng ultimately donated a part of his body to this friend.
But the experiment failed. This person was among those who later betrayed the little ginseng.
“You…” Yu Liu looked the other person up and down: “…Are you He Shi’an?”
The other person was taken aback. "You know me?"
"heard about it."
This person has actually been reborn. This world really is the end of the world.
"I don't know how to make you believe me, but I really didn't mean any harm."
Yu Liu thought about it and ultimately chose to believe him. The other person, unaware that Yu Liu had already figured out his true intentions, was still happy that Yu Liu had trusted him.
Donning a white lab coat and concealing the ginseng in her chest, Yu Liu followed He Shi'an out of the research institute like any ordinary researcher.
"Wait here for me. I have something to give you. I know I'm suspicious. You stay here and leave immediately if you encounter any danger. Don't wait for me."
"it is good."
There was no one at the entrance of the research institute; it was unclear whether Shi He'an had transferred them.
Soon, the other party returned carrying a large box.
"This is what I gave him; please pass it on for me. That will put my mind at ease. Also, please tell him for me that I'm waiting for him to end this apocalypse!"
