Chapter 1945: Chapter 1945

Seeing Tang Ye silent, Su Sigui asked, "Are you afraid?"

"I don’t know." Tang Ye spread his hands.

"Then would you stop me?" Su Sigui’s tone became strange.

Tang Ye detected another undertone in the opponent’s words, hesitated a bit, and asked uncertainly, "You seem to have another meaning..."

"You’re overthinking. Because if I do this, there’s a high chance we both will end up buried alongside Hatred and the Four Great Zombie Kings. You have more choices than I do. Compared to me, until the very last moment, you have better options."

"Is it really so?" Tang Ye was somewhat skeptical. He always felt Su Sigui’s questions were bizarre, containing a hidden agenda.

Su Sigui stopped speaking. The reason she asked was because she also harbored deep doubts. Why? Why is it going so smoothly? If so, why did Ning Tianlang in the past fail and give up? If he hadn’t quit halfway, would it have been a different outcome?

What exactly happened during the process to make Ning Tianlang choose another result?

All the answers seemed to lie with the man named "Li Henian," but she hesitated. She didn’t dare to ask, nor did she want to. Perhaps he doesn’t know, or maybe... his answer would lead her to make the same choices Ning Tianlang did!

Before feeling despair, she was unwilling to give up no matter what. She had to probe bit by bit.

To get that unknown answer!

"Better options, huh..." Tang Ye mumbled a sentence, giving Su Sigui an inexplicable look.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about. It might be as you said, but I understand the logic of ’when the lips are gone, the teeth grow cold.’ If you’re gone, I’m next. I need an ally, but my ally is not in the future, only in the past of the future, which is now. Do what you have to; you don’t need to ask my opinion. But I must tell you, I’ll do my utmost to survive."

"Then it’s up to you." Seeing Tang Ye , Su Sigui became frank, spreading her hands.

At this time, Tang Ye looked in a certain direction and asked, "Is what you call CW002 extracted from that Level 9 Rester?"

The meaning of CW002 is actually a purifier. Before CW002, there was CW001; the difference is just the volatilization and usage method.

"That Level 9 Rester has always been in a dormant state, allowing you to do as you please?"

"No." Su Sigui shook her head.

"Awake?" Tang Ye was startled, "Able to move freely?"

Su Sigui thought for a moment, nodded in response, "More or less, but her time is running out, maybe tomorrow or the day after? We will extract all the materials from her body to refine the required CW002."

"By then, she will die. Aren’t you afraid she’ll do something?"

"That’s not within my control. But so far, she’s behaved fairly obediently."

Tang Ye fell silent. He felt Su Sigui was really bold. In such a situation, she dared to keep the Level 9 Rester conscious and free to move. Even when weakened, any small action could cause unimaginable destruction!

He didn’t quite understand. If that Level 9 Rester Chen Bieli wasn’t too extreme and was within an acceptable range, her combat power could be a significant asset to humanity. Perhaps sacrificing her life to extract CW001 could yield greater benefits, but that ultimately violates the human-defined morality.

"No need to wonder either. That Level 9 Rester, her death can greatly increase the chance of human victory. Like I said before, my choices are not many, and none are trivial, so each choice must be the optimal solution, the direction with the greatest benefit."

"Alright then." Seeing this, Tang Ye no longer cared. Although he knew Chen Bieli, they weren’t very close; he was just puzzled about what exactly was special about that Level 9 Rester.

"Can every Rester yield CW001, or is it only extracting it at the Level 9 stage?"

"You’re overthinking; only she has it."

"What’s different about her from the others?"

Su Sigui gave Tang Ye a glance, shook her head, and said, "If you ask me, who should I ask? I can’t explain, it’s considered an unsolved mystery." This update ıs available on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖•𝗇𝗲𝘁

"Unsolved mystery..." Tang Ye felt a bit helpless.

"The gold content of this unsolved mystery is quite high. On her body, we discovered a mysterious substance that can already devour anti-life substances, counted as the nemesis of anti-life substances. Someone had modified her body before the Apocalypse, which not only gave her immunity to anti-life substances while she was still an ordinary person but also strengthened herself through it. So, she’s different from others, able to consume large amounts of Evolution Crystals and Evolution Crystal Cores to rapidly evolve without worrying about any aberrant reaction making her hideous."

"Others can’t do this, and her success rate of evolving to Level 9 is also hundreds of times ours, even a significant margin higher than the success rate of zombies evolving to Level 9."

"Do you understand? My point is someone already knew there would be a post-apocalyptic outbreak in the future, so they prepared in advance on her body, possibly making her the only key to ending the Apocalypse."

Listening to Su Sigui’s explanation, Tang Ye was also extremely shocked.

"The Apocalypse is man-made?"

"Not necessarily. We don’t have clear evidence to show the Apocalypse is the doing of someone. With the technology before the Apocalypse, it’s far from possible to let a rain cover the entire Earth."

"Even if it’s truly someone’s doing, with such a big matter, the governments of various countries wouldn’t let the person run rampant."

"Then did you find any clues?" Tang Ye asked again, while Su Sigui regretfully shook her head: "There are clues, but... as known, whoever might know the ins and outs seems to have died during the early Apocalypse, and now there’s no clear direction for searching."

"However, none of this matters anymore. What’s most important now is ensuring the continuation of humanity. The reason I’m here is simple, just to lure some small fry to come, only to let them fall into the trap."

"Alright, it’s not something I should be considering anyway."

"Hmm~" Su Sigui chuckled, then her expression became serious, "I’ve answered your questions, so now isn’t it time you tell me the real reason you came to find me?"

"The big gift you sent knocked me over."

"Is that all?" Tang Ye’s answer made Su Sigui a little disappointed, but Tang Ye didn’t mind, continuing: "I have to return the gift somehow, right?"

With that said, Tang Ye placed the box in his hand on the table, yet as soon as he did, the next moment the entire table collapsed with a "crack" under the weight.

"Uh..." Seeing the mainframe in it puffing smoke on the ground, Tang Ye awkwardly touched his nose and said, "It’s not too good, but it shouldn’t be too shabby either."
