Home/ Stopping the Handsome and Tragic Male Lead After 404/ Chapter 68 (Part 2)
Chu Mu’s face remained expressionless, while Qiao Nan’s expression was strange.
Cheng Yu cooperatively spoke, and if it wasn’t for Shi Qin’s reminder, after so many questions, he would have forgotten how different Chu Mu was from them.
“Perhaps it may offend your personal privacy, but since you want to cooperate, you can’t keep us confused. You have studied us so clearly and know everything about us. But so far, we don’t know anything about the identities of the two of you.”
Although Qiao Nan and Chu Mu never concealed their purpose, in terms of identity, they never revealed the slightest bit.
Qiao Nan glanced at Chu Mu, who suddenly stood up, brought some bottles of wine, and then took off his shirt in front of everyone.
Cheng Yu and Shi Qin were suddenly stunned, and in an instant, they saw the indescribable scars on Chu Mu’s body.
“This is a very long story.” Qiao Nan smiled and opened a bottle of wine, “This is the first time we are telling outsiders.”
“Cheng Yu, people like you who are directly infected by the virus, we call it the first generation of awakeners in our laboratory, and Chu Mu…is the second generation of awakeners.” Qiao Nan slowly opened his mouth and began to tell their story.
Qiao Nan’s parents were independent from the research center of the Eastern Base. Because the special equipment needed for the experiment could not be transported easily, they specialized in experiments related to the Awakened in a certain mysterious underground laboratory. They lived there and did experiments for a long time. Qiao Nan also grew up in the laboratory.
And the experiment that Qiao Nan’s parents were focusing on was about controlling the awakeners. However, this experiment was different from the principle of the octopus controller.
What they wanted to do was to solve the problem from the root– first change the characteristics of the virus, and then infect humans, improve the success rate of infection, prevent the corpse from transforming, and create an Awakened who is emotionally stable and not affected by the virus, that is, the second generation of awakeners.
They tried many methods and finally found a parasite. First, they infected the parasite with the virus, and then implanted the parasite into the human body.
Such awakeners will not exhibit the situation of the Awakened Tyrant, and they will be ignored by zombies as if they were the same kind. Their ability will also be suppressed to a certain extent, and they can only reach the second level of controlling the zombies.
Shi Qin was surprised, “Can it still be like this?” This kind of thing was never mentioned in the novel.
The so-called second-generation awakeners that Shi Qin knew were the kind that were created through crystal nuclei. The kind that is weaker than what Qiao Nan described, and can’t even control zombies.
However, the second generation awakeners described by Qiao Nan were different, but if they were really that powerful, wouldn’t they have replaced the second generation mentioned in the original text long ago?
Unless, there is no way to develop it at all, and that’s why it wasn’t even mentioned in the original text.
When the male protagonist encountered his subordinate ‘ice blade’, he(Chu Mu) had already used the masking agent, and it was impossible for anyone to tell whether he was the first generation of Awakened or not, and if no zombies approached him, he would only be regarded as being controlled by the awakeners.
“What about the disadvantages?” Cheng Yu asked calmly.
Qiao Nan gave a wry smile and stretched out his hand to touch the scar on Chu Mu’s body.
Chu Mu drank the wine calmly. “I don’t remember the pain from that time anymore. I just remember that as members of the Corps, we were called in to participate in the experiment voluntarily. We thought it was an honorable thing, so we participated, and then one by one, our companions died in the experiment. My body also repeatedly festered, turned into a corpse, died, and reborn. I was the only experimental subject who survived at that time. They were very satisfied with me and wanted to continue experimenting with me as a successful subject to find the best value, so I just kept repeating the process until… Qiao Nan secretly took me out, and then everything ended.”
Qiao Nan leaned on Chu Mu’s shoulder and said, “The lifespan of the second generation of awakeners has been repeatedly eroded and shortened during those experiments. In theory, they can only live for a few years. I couldn’t help it anymore. I didn’t want him to suffer torture in the laboratory for several years.”
Qiao Nan seemed to be drunk and started to cry directly. Chu Mu hugged him and kissed the corner of his eyes.
Shi Qin was shocked, Chu Mu’s experience was almost similar to the male protagonist’s original future.
Now looking at Chu Mu’s body again, it looks like a complex pattern of scars, no wonder there is no place on his body where normal human skin can be seen, it turns out that it has been repeatedly festered and regenerated.
“The experiments first started with animals, and then moved on to humans. Such advantages make those in power continue to be willing to invest resources for their experiments.” Qiao Nan said: “But I know this was just one of many of their experiments. What was the Eastern Base going to do… I’m afraid even my parents don’t know.”
“Then your parents now…”
“I haven’t inquired about it, but they didn’t experience the blood moon tragedy at that time. I stole their most important experimental product. Since I chose to betray them, I was doomed to never see them again. But I don’t regret it. If I let them continue, there would be more second-generation awakeners. Although they are powerful and easy to use, they have a short lifespan. Such a result is nothing but the selfishness of human beings.”
“Since then, no awakened person like me has appeared again. It may be because they finally decided that this result is not good, or because the blood moon tragedy caused the research to be shelved.” Chu Mu said.
The matter about Qiao Nan and Chu Mu has finally been clarified. It turns out that this world is really not as simple as a novel. Everyone has their own complicated experiences. There are also various secrets hidden within the main text.
Qiao Nan passed out from crying and was carried back to the room by Chu Mu.
Cheng Yu went to the rooftop alone to blow some air, he needed to calm down. Shi Qin began to tidy up the mess.
After a while, Chu Mu also came out to help clean up.
Shi Qin said: “In fact, Qiao Nan’s desire to steal the research materials of various bases is not just because he is curious about the past.”
Chu Mu nodded, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
“He wants to find a way to prolong your life?” Shi Qin said.
“Well, I know. I also want… to be with him all the time.” Chu Mu smiled. They are not sad because they will not live for a few years in the future, they have already accepted this fact.
“Since Qiao Nan has promised to accompany you, he will definitely do it.” Shi Qin smiled and said, “You will live a long life.”
It’s not that Shi Qin was talking nonsense. In the original text, Chu Mu did live a long life, although he doesn’t know why.
“I would like to borrow your auspicious words.” Chu Mu said with a smile.
The next day, everyone planned to search for another round of supplies.
Shi Qin was looking for something everywhere when he accidentally stepped on a dilapidated place on the second floor and fell directly on the car parked by the side of the road.
Anyway, he is very solid, and it doesn’t hurt even if he falls.
But after the bang, he seemed to hear a strange sound, like a woman who was frightened and hurriedly covered her mouth.
After sniffing, he realised that there was another living person here, so he hurried to leave.
Don’t meddle in other people’s business, don’t meddle in other people’s business, Shi Qin chanted in his heart and climbed down silently, pretending to be an ordinary zombie to stay away from this area.
“Shi Qin?”
Don’t call me, I won’t save people with my cheap hands anymore, Shi Qin said silently in his heart.
“Shi Qin!”
Suddenly the voice behind him became louder, and with the sound of the door opening, someone ran towards him, ignoring the screams of other zombies around him.
Is this another idiot?
When Shi Qin was feeling depressed about his luck, he was called by his name for the third time.
Shi Qin was shocked.
Wait, that’s not right! Why is someone calling his name? Could it be someone he knows?
Shi Qin cautiously turned around to look, but a strange woman rushed forward and hugged Shi Qin, tears streaming down her face.
“Shi Qin, I finally found you, Shi Qin, Shi Qin! I miss you so much! Wuwuwu…”
Shi Qin:! ! ! ! ! ! Who?
