Chapter 129. I Will Fire You!
Arc 5 : Wasteland World Movie Nightmare.
“Okay, then it’s settled.” Du Yan patted Shen Heng’s shoulder, looking pleased, and then decisively jumped off Shen Heng’s lap.
“……”
Shen Heng was a little dazed and hadn’t recovered from the atmosphere just now. He suddenly thought of those movies before the war. In the movies, in such situations, shouldn’t it be…
“What are you daydreaming about?”
Du Yan had returned to the control panel system. He looked back and saw Shen Heng still sitting in the chair, wondering what he was thinking about. He asked curiously.
Unexpectedly, the man who usually looked very stable and mature suddenly jumped up as if he was burned under his butts by the chair.
“No, no, I’m not daydreaming!”
Du Yan was so focused on the control panel that he didn’t notice Shen Heng’s strange mood. Seeing his expression, he narrowed his eyes but didn’t ask any more questions.
“Come and help. The most important thing now is to find the layout map. Otherwise, those two guys will run away. If we don’t catch this mutant, there’s no telling how many Pure Ones will be in trouble.”
Shen Heng laughed again when he saw his expression. He was indeed a teenager who could change his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book.
Shen Heng walked over and saw Du Yan’s fingers moving flexibly on the control panel, and a huge underground shelter structure map popped up on the screen.
Shen Heng was a little surprised: “You are quite skilled in using this pre-war technology.”
Du Yan said: “The current direction of technological development has gone astray. They are all focused on researching biological genetic technology. The current electronic technology is almost the same as before the war. The control systems are all the same. Of course I can use it.”
After that, Du Yan pointed at the screen again: “But I don’t understand this layout diagram. You should be more familiar with it. The next task is yours.”
Shen Heng nodded and stood in front of the screen to watch. Du Yan, as an assistant, followed his instructions to zoom in on the parts that needed to be studied in detail.
A few minutes later, Shen Heng confirmed that the protection mechanism of this underground shelter was not a poison gas type. As long as it was not this kind of all-pervasive poison gas type protection mechanism, Shen Heng was confident that he could protect Du Yan from harm.
He looked at Du Yan and said: “No problem, let’s go.”
After saying that, Shen Heng walked to the front of the safety door, half squatted down, and with a force of both hands, he lifted the heavy security door up.
After doing all this, he turned around and glanced at Du Yan. Without saying anything more, Du Yan understood and slipped out directly through the gap.
Afterward, Du Yan saw Shen Heng take a horse stance, his arm muscles bulging, and he suddenly lifted the door upwards and took the opportunity to dodge out at an extremely fast speed.
In order to avoid alerting Old Bao, the two did not turn on the power but walked directly along the route found in the monitoring system. This underground shelter has only one exit. If Old Bao wants to leave, he must return to the elevator.
As expected, in front of the laboratory door, Shen Heng and Du Yan happened to see Old Bao coming out.
Old Bao was holding a corpse in his arms, which was the corpse of Pure One of the emptied cryopod. The mutant followed Old Bao, and when he saw Shen Heng and the other person, he bared his teeth and let out a threatening low growl.
Before Old Bao could speak, the mutant behind him, perhaps thinking that he had recovered, immediately turned into a black shadow and attacked Shen Heng at a speed that Old Bao could not react to in time.
Shen Heng reacted very quickly, raising his hand to catch the mutant’s sharp claw.
Old Bao still had some sense left, knowing that even if they were alone, they were no match for Shen Heng. He put down the female corpse in his hand and tried to stop him: “Come back! You can’t beat him!”
Although this mutant has some intelligence, he was still more like mutated beasts. When driven by revenge instinct, it is impossible for Old Bao to stop him.
When Du Yan saw that Old Bao seemed to be concentrating but his eyes were moving slightly, he knew what he wanted to do. He really thinks I am a soft persimmon and can be squeezed whenever he wants.
Although Du Yan had plenty of ways to deal with Old Bao, now that there was a more labor-saving method, he naturally chose the more convenient method.
While Shen Heng was fighting the mutants, he actually paid half of his attention to Old Bao’s situation. He would never allow Du Yan to be held hostage again.
At this moment, Shen Heng suddenly heard Du Yan’s voice.
“Deal with Old Bao first, make him lose his ability to resist, and then kick him into the laboratory.”
Du Yan’s voice was strangely clear, and what was even stranger was the expression on Old Bao’s face, which did not change at all.
Logically speaking, Infected have very sharp hearing, so Old Bao would naturally be more alert and cautious after hearing what Du Yan said. However, Old Bao acted as if nothing had happened and didn’t pay much attention to Du Yan.
What Shen Heng found most strange was the voice just now, which sounded like it was echoing directly in his mind. Du Yan really had a lot of secrets, but Shen Heng didn’t care, and this was not the time to explore the other party’s secrets.
Shen Heng did not ask Du Yan’s purpose and directly did as he said. He restrained the mutant and led the battle to Old Bao, then found an opening and attacked Old Bao directly.
Old Bao originally wanted to seize the opportunity to hold Du Yan hostage but was dragged into the battle by Shen Heng, so he had to cooperate with the mutant to attack Shen Heng.
Shen Heng dragged Old Bao and the mutant into the battle, firmly protecting Du Yan behind him. Du Yan stepped back a few steps, waiting for Shen Heng to subdue Old Bao.
After a few minutes, a figure was seen flying out of the battle and falling directly into the laboratory behind.
Du Yan looked inside, but it was pitch black, and he couldn’t see clearly what was going on.
Shen Heng knew what he was worried about and said directly: “He has lost the ability to resist.”
Du Yan smiled and said: “Leave Old Bao to me. I’m going to go over now. Be careful.”
Shen Heng glared at him: “What are you talking about? Stay back and don’t move.”
Du Yan put his hands together, made a begging gesture, and said: “I’m curious, I just want to go to the laboratory in the back to take a look, I’m sorry to bother you with this mutant.”
Shen Heng had no choice but to control the situation and step aside. Du Yan seized the opportunity and ran into the laboratory across the passage.
After entering the laboratory, Du Yan wanted to close the door directly, but thinking of the simple and rough method Shen Heng used when he opened the door just now, he felt that if he closed the door silently, Shen Heng might break in after a minute.
In order to avoid being interrupted, Du Yan stuck his head out again and shouted: “Shen Heng, I have some private matters to attend to. You are not allowed to come in. If you come in, I will fire you!”
Du Yan wrinkled his nose and showed a fierce expression, showing that he was serious and then closed the safety door of the laboratory. The power supply system of the laboratory was independent. After Du Yan fumbled around for a while, he directly turned on the light of the laboratory.
When Shen Heng heard Du Yan’s words, his movements paused slightly, and he was almost scratched by the mutant. He dodged, feeling somewhat helpless, but he knew that Old Bao had completely lost the ability to resist, so he didn’t have to worry about Du Yan’s safety.
Although this safety door can not stop Shen Heng, it can prevent the sound from spreading out. After all, there are some things that are not yet the right time to let Shen Heng know.
Now Du Yan is pestering Shen Heng for protection on the grounds that he is powerless. If Shen Heng finds out that he is more than capable of protecting himself, it will be hard to explain.
After Du Yan closed the door, he walked directly to Old Bao, who was unconscious in the corner. Old Bao was able to create that mutant, so he must have known all the secrets in the laboratory.
However, Du Yan could not let the data or information in the laboratory flow out, so he could only try to make Old Bao shut up. With a cold smile on his lips, he squatted in front of Old Bao.
The unconscious Old Bao was immersed in darkness. Suddenly, he felt as if his brain was pierced by thousands of steel needles, and he felt an unbearable pain.
Old Bao was shaking all over like a leaf and was forced to wake by severe pain.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and when the trance brought by the severe pain passed, he found a person squatting in front of him.
The person in front of him had fair skin, looked innocent and naive, and was a Pure One boy named Du Yan.
He subconsciously wanted to attack and seize this person, who was very important to Shen Heng. As long as he could control Du Yan, Shen Heng would let them go.
Unexpectedly, no matter how strong the thought was, Old Bao’s fingers could not move at all. He seemed to be paralyzed and completely unable to move.
Du Yan clapped his hands, looking somewhat gloating: “Ah, I guess Shen Heng accidentally hit you too hard and broke your spine.”
“…” Old Bao was also a man who had experienced many battles. He knew the situation at hand after a brief thought.
Seeing Old Bao glaring at him, Du Yan smiled and said: “Don’t be so fierce. Considering the recovery ability of you Infected, this injury is not unhealable. You will have to lie down for ten days or half a month at most.”
Du Yan sighed again and said: “This is my fault. Don’t be angry with Shen Heng. I asked him to control you. Then I’ll apologize to you first, okay?”
Old Bao was so angry at the seemingly well-behaved and innocent boy that he almost choked. He knew a lot of people and could tell that this boy named Du Yan was not as naive as he appeared to be.
Du Yan certainly didn’t say these words out of anger because he was idle. He was disturbing Old Bao’s thoughts. Only when his mood fluctuates greatly would he be at his weakest.
Thinking of this, Du Yan smiled even more brilliantly. His smile was so beautiful and dazzling, but Old Bao shuddered from the bottom of his heart. If his body had not been completely unable to move, he would have unconsciously stepped back a few steps.
“That mutant outside is your child, right? Your biological child.” Du Yan casually said Old Bao’s secret: “You must be very worried when your child is beaten outside, right?”
Old Bao was stunned and started to refute subconsciously: “What nonsense! How can an Infected have a child!”
Du Yan nodded: “Yes, Infected are infertile. If the Infected men and women get together, the fertilized eggs will not survive because of the high radiation. The problem between Infected and Pure Ones is even bigger.”
Old Bao held his breath, not knowing how Du Yan knew these secrets.
“Infected have actually evolved and are no longer the same species as Pure Ones. What is this called? Oh, yes, reproductive isolation, just like dogs and cats unable to produce offspring, the same principle, do you think I am right?”
