It's not too much to say that a beauty is a little bit stronger

Chapter 507 Dawn (4)

Su Haoqian said, his voice becoming more heavy:

"We are just maintaining the illusion that everything is fine, however, we all know it is only a matter of time before it collapses."

He sighed and continued, "In the past hundred years, the living dead have been nothing. The truly terrifying things are those creatures beneath the northern ice sheets. They've been dormant for too long, and no one knows what kind of disaster they'll bring once they wake up."

Su Haoqian looked at Xiao Huai with a complicated expression: "At least your appearance has made me feel a little biased. Are you the hope mentioned in the oracle?"

Xiao Huai did not answer immediately, but just looked at Su Haoqian a few more times.

Then, his system interface suddenly flashed and a message appeared, reminding his evaluators of a special task.

Portray yourself as a savior.

And at this moment, isn't Su Haoqian leading himself to the image of a savior?

Xiao Huai frowned slightly, and at this moment, the system's main task was finally updated.

He quickly glanced at the new task. The text was simple and cold:

"Main quest announced: Destroy all creatures born in the northern ice fields within 30 days."

It seemed to overlap with Su Haoqian's wish.

Could it be that he was destined to become the savior when he came to this world?

There is a problem with the task.

It's not just the mission that has problems, Su Haoqian also has big problems.

However, Xiao Huai did not show any of these speculations on his face.

Su Haoqian received a call at this time. After hanging up, he looked at Xiao Huai and said softly:

"We've arranged your accommodation. They're right outside the door. They'll take you on a tour of our base later."

Xiao Huai nodded, said nothing more, and turned to walk towards the door.

The guard outside the door immediately stepped forward and respectfully led him out.

After Xiao Huai left, Su Haoqian's gaze returned to the oracle, as if in a daze.

At this moment, a voice came softly into his ears:

“Are you an atheist?”

Su Haoqian looked up and saw the visitor looking at him with a smile. His blue eyes were particularly conspicuous in the dim room.

Gu Yusheng stood before him, his eyes showing a hint of fatigue, but a hint of a smile still hung on the corner of his mouth: "You have devoured so many gods, and now you are an atheist. How interesting."

Su Haoqian chuckled and replied lazily:

"It's not the same thing, you know. Gods and food, sometimes there's no difference. But, it's been a while, what brings you here?"

Gu Yusheng tilted his head slightly, his tone nonchalant: "I came to see how you are doing."

Su Haoqian sorted out the documents and said in a relaxed tone:

"What else can I do? I'll just make do. I've been praised to the skies by these people. Being a hero isn't easy. I still prefer being a villain. I don't need any moral compass."

As he spoke, he suddenly turned his head, and the deep dark circles under his eyes made him look a little gloomy.

Gu Yusheng looked at him with a hint of ridicule in his eyes:

"Everything is going according to plan. Xiao Huai is not the target, he is just the key, you know."

Su Haoqian responded and turned his gaze to the secret compartment on the table, where the other half of the oracle was quietly hidden.

That was a secret he had never shown to anyone.

Written on the gold foil:

"The northern ice fields are the only place where he can be imprisoned forever."

He yawned. "I've been meaning to ask this before. Who wrote this oracle? Loki?"

It was kept so mysterious, and he was allowed to stay here for decades.

Gu Yusheng shook his head, "No."

"Who is that?"

"You'd better not ask so many questions. It's enough for you to know that this is useful. The more you know, the faster you will die." Gu Yusheng suddenly smiled with his eyes narrowed.

Su Haoqian rolled his eyes at the old fox and said, "Tsk, it's not like I haven't died before. I'm actually upset that you disturbed my eternal sleep."

Gu Yusheng smiled and ignored his eye roll, but Su Haoqian asked, "You used Qi Ye's power to come here, why didn't I see that kid? I haven't seen him for a long time, and I miss him a little bit."

After hearing Qi Ye's name, Gu Yusheng slowly said, "He's dead."

“?!” Su Haoqian opened his eyes wide for the first time since coming to this world.

After seeing this, Gu Yusheng raised his lips slightly as if he had succeeded in joking, "You believe it?"

"You... Haha, I believe it, I really do. He has many weaknesses and is indeed easy to die. If Loki hadn't lied to him about being able to reshape the past, he might not have become one of us."

Su Haoqian continued, "Because he's a genius, he'll always lose his freedom. So what right do I have? I'm so lazy, I don't have any strength, and I don't have any ambitions. Can't you just let me go free? I have a tendency to sleep forever."

Gu Yusheng passed by him and patted his shoulder, "Then you have to work harder for your dream."

After saying that, he turned and disappeared.

Su Haoqian sighed and cursed, "You old bastard."

----

The group of people took Xiao Huai to where he would rest. It was a small single-person villa with three floors.

The villa has a simple and elegant appearance and is surrounded by some low shrubs and flower beds, appearing quiet and secluded.

The leader smiled and said to Xiao Huai, "Mr. Xiao Huai, the place you are living in now is the best in our base. The superiors value you very much."

Xiao Huai nodded lightly and swept his eyes over the villa. Although the interior had not been explored yet, from the outside, it was indeed a good place to stay.

When they were about to take Xiao Huai to the restaurant, they suddenly heard some noisy noises around them.

Several soldiers hurried by, and one of them frowned and said to his companion:

"There's an infected person among the survivors this time. Don't forget to send him to the fuel room before he completely mutates."

When Xiao Huai heard this, his eyes moved slightly, and he asked calmly, "What is a fuel room?"

The leader seemed a little hesitant, but still explained:

"You should have noticed when you came here that the zombies looked very dull."

Xiao Huai nodded.

The other party continued, "That's the purpose of the fuel room. Professor Su discovered a special substance in the human brain that can interfere with the thinking of the living dead, causing them to be forever immersed in illusions and become dull and inert. Therefore, over the years, the living dead are almost indistinguishable from the dead, and infected humans are rarely seen anymore."

They also told Xiao Huai what it meant to be infected.

In the movies, even a scratch is considered an infection, but the infection here is different.

Being infected specifically means being bitten by a conscious living dead for the infection to be effective.

Scratching, scratching, or unconscious biting will not cause infection.

Because the infectious virus in the bodies of the living dead can only truly affect their victims when they are awake.

For those humans who have been infected but have not yet completely mutated, their brains are in a state between humans and the living dead.

This state is the best fuel.

At this time, the soldier said another word into his ears, which completely attracted Xiao Huai's attention.

"The person who was bitten was quite good-looking."

Xiao Huai said nothing and looked at the other party: "Take me to see it."
