At the very bottom, it was a dead end.
Xiao Ping casually pressed the wall, and suddenly, a door automatically slid open, revealing an exquisitely decorated office.
The floor was covered with carpet, and directly opposite was a desk, along with two large sofas for guests.
It was spotless, clearly cleaned regularly.
Xiao Ping skillfully opened a nearby drawer. Inside was a glowing machine covered with countless buttons.
He nimbly pressed several of them. With a loud "poof," a huge sound echoed.
At that instant, everyone screamed.
They scrambled wildly, and the person in charge immediately rushed to the office to check. Who knew, the experimental door had already descended, and they couldn't get out...
This base had only one entrance and exit, which was the commander's office.
Despair flickered across the man's face. He wailed loudly, "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, right? I'll give it to you, please let me go, okay?"
He shouted outside for a long time, but there was no reaction from inside.
The man's mind gradually began to feel dizzy. It was clear the poisonous gas had entered his brain, rendering him beyond help.
He said bitterly, "Xu Qian!! People like you should go to hell!!!"
Xu Qian watched from the window with a calm expression. They were painfully clutching their throats, unable to utter a single word.
"You released the poison gas?"
The young man embraced her waist from behind, holding her captive in his arms.
"Mhmm, they'll be dead soon."
"Then we'll plant bombs one by one, just like before."
Xu Qian's eyes narrowed slightly. She turned and broke free from his embrace.
The two of them faced each other.
Xiao Ping underwent a drastic transformation. He became a superior being, aloof and emanating an aura of a predator.
In his beautiful purple eyes, there were swirling vortexes, 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 merged. The former Xu Lü and Xiao Ping completely vanished.
As Xiao Ping slaughtered zombies, his memories began to gradually cloud over. He sensed Song Xiaoping about to emerge, which was why he hastily bid farewell to Xu Qian.
Meanwhile, Xu Lü had fully recovered his memories after absorbing the crystal cores. Xu Lü also knew that he could no longer accompany her as Xu Lü.
In fact, both Xiao Ping and Xu Lü 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."
A chill ran down Xu Qian's spine, and she cautiously took a step back.
"Who... are you, exactly?"
The young man raised a fingertip and softly whispered, "Shhh."
"You'll know in the future. Let's destroy the base first."
Song Xiaoping reached out and held her hand. Her fingertips stiffened slightly, unsure whether to grasp it or not.
Some things were better left unsaid.
He pressed a button behind the door, and the experimental door automatically opened. Everyone lay on the ground, their chests devoid of any movement.
They were as dead as could be.
Song Xiaoping didn't shy away from the poisonous gas outside. His purple eyes flickered slightly, and he chuckled:
"Don't worry, they're all dead now, the poisonous gas will stop naturally."
"Right, where are the bombs?"
Xu Qian's spine stiffened. With a subconscious thought, many bombs were piled on the ground.
She watched the man meticulously planting bombs in the lab filled with corpses.
At times, his expression was exactly like Xu Lü's...
