Reaching the bottom, it was a dead end.
Xiao Ping casually pressed the wall, and suddenly, a door slid open, revealing an exquisitely decorated office.
The floor was covered with carpet. Facing them was a desk and two large sofas for receiving guests.
It was spotless, clearly cleaned regularly.
Xiao Ping expertly pulled open a drawer beside him. Inside was a glowing machine with countless buttons.
He nimbly pressed several of them, and with a loud "boom,"
At that moment, everyone screamed.
They scrambled wildly in panic. The person in charge rushed to the office to investigate, but the experimental door had already descended, trapping them inside.
This base had only one entrance and exit: the commander's office.
Despair flickered across the man's face. He cried out in anguish, "Who is it?!"
Suddenly, the man's eyes lit up. He frantically pounded on the experimental door, "Are you Xu Qian?"
"You want the data, don't you? I'll give it to you, please just let me go, okay?"
He shouted outside for a long time, but there was no response from inside.
The man's mind gradually began to feel dizzy. It was clear the gas had reached his brain, and he was beyond saving.
He said fiercely, "Xu Qian!! People like you should go to hell!!!"
Xu Qian watched expressionlessly by the window. They choked themselves in agony, unable to utter a single word.
"You released the gas?"
The young man embraced her from behind, holding her captive in his arms.
"Yes, they'll all be dead soon."
"Then we'll do like before, planting bombs one by one."
Xu Qian's eyes narrowed slightly. She turned and broke free from his embrace.
They faced each other.
Xiao Ping had undergone a complete transformation. He became an overlord, aloof and emanating a predatory aura.
His beautiful violet eyes swirled like whirlpools, as if he wanted to drag her into his abyss.
"Xiao Ping, what have you remembered?"
Xiao Ping smiled, "Qian, that's not important."
The memories of the three people merged. The former Xu Lu and Xiao Ping had completely vanished.
While slaughtering zombies, Xiao Ping's memories began to gradually resurface. Sensing Song Xiaoping's imminent return, he had urgently bid farewell to Xu Qian.
Meanwhile, Xu Lu, after absorbing the crystal cores, had fully recovered his memories. Xu Lu also knew that he could no longer accompany her as Xu Lu.
In fact, both Xiao Ping and Xu Lu knew there was a master within their bodies.
Whatever he asked them to do, they had to do it.
This person was Song Xiaoping, the true master.
Song Xiaoping gently stroked her head and chuckled, "What's important is that I will protect you."
"Come to X Group. Let's conquer this world together."
Xu Qian shivered all over and cautiously took a step back.
"Who exactly are you?"
The young man raised a finger and gently "shushed" her.
"You'll know later. Let's destroy the base first."
Song Xiaoping reached out and took her hand. Her fingertips stiffened, unsure whether to grip or not.
Some things were better left unsaid.
He pressed the button behind the door, and the experimental door automatically opened. Everyone lay on the ground, their chests utterly still.
Deader than dead.
Song Xiaoping didn't seem to mind the toxic gas outside. His violet eyes flashed, and he chuckled softly.
"Don't be afraid. They're all dead, so the gas will stop naturally."
"Right, where are the bombs?"
Xu Qian's back stiffened. Her mind moved subconsciously, and many bombs appeared on the ground.
She watched the man meticulously planting bombs in the laboratory filled with corpses.
At times, his expression was exactly like Xu Lu's...
