It was evening, the bright red sun had half sunk behind the high-rise buildings, the sky was covered with red clouds, layer after layer, endless, as if it extended to the end of the world.
The news that the vaccine had been successfully developed had been broadcasted, astonished cheers could be heard everywhere in the base, some people burst into tears because of the extreme joy.
Lei Chuan walked to the balcony railing, looking down at the groups of twos and threes embracing and celebrating in the streets and said, "You don't want to come see it? The base hasn't been so lively for a long time, it's like the New Year. I say that, but I don't even remember what a New Year celebration looks like."
He smiled and looked back, then was shocked.
The man had taken off his thick glasses and was gazing at the horizon sunset with a calm look, two lines of crystal clear tears ran down his pale cheeks, drop of tears were hanging on his sharp jaw.
Lei Chuan had never seen the man expose anything but a tranquil expression, even if he was vomiting a mouthful of blood, his eyes were always light. His spirit was more unwavering than anyone's, Lei Chuan thought he would never be moved by anything, until now, he found that even this man had times of emotional fragility.
The tear filled eyes were more magnificent than the rosy clouds burning in the sky.
Lei Chuan froze, then he unconsciously walked over and spread out his palm to catch the tears.
With a flop, the teardrops fell through his palm and dropped to the ground, and were soon evaporated by the heat. Lei Chuan repeatedly clenched his fists, until he felt a faint pain.
Zhou Yun Sheng wiped away his tears, put on his glasses, stood up and walked toward the iron door. He'd stayed in the laboratory for half a year with hardly any natural light, his eyes couldn't stand the light, tingling, plus the air in the Apocalypse had a distinct stink, it was not advisable to be out in the open air for too long.
Just as he walked into the lab, a researcher ran over and said, "Doctor, the leader told us to come to a meeting, everyone is here, we were waiting for you."
Zhou Yun Sheng naturally knew what the base's higher-ups would say, his eyes showed the hint of a sneer.
The research team all arrived, and the higher-ups expressed warm praise at everyone's achievements and awarded generous prizes. After some miscellaneous talk, they finally warned everyone to absolutely not leak out the relevant information. They intended to rely on the vaccine to control China's other large and small bases, to achieve their ultimate pursuit of power.
Everyone was silent, not daring to reveal their real thoughts. Standing upright behind Zhou Yun Sheng, Lei Chuan coldly laughed out loud. He had already seen through their ambitions.
"I object. My vaccine is not a tool for your domination. I ask you to share the vaccine data to all the survivors in the world. If we live according to your selfishness, when will mankind be saved? You're violating my original intentions for developing the vaccine, I'm firmly against this!" Zhou Yun Sheng was outraged, he didn't wait for the leaders to give out any high-sounding excuses and directly left.
Everyone admired him for his integrity and selflessness, but few dared to openly leave with him.
The Guard Captain hesitated for a moment, gave the leaders a salute, then steadfastly followed the doctor.
Back at the laboratory, the Guard Captain opened worriedly, "Doctor, you were too impulsive just now. To prevent confidential information leakage, the higher-ups will never let you go. You have to quickly leave with me, with your talent, the other bases will improve."
"No, I don't have time." Zhou Yun Sheng opened the computer and compressed and transmitted the data to all the bases connected to B Base.
The transmission progress bar slowly rose, Lei Chuan could almost imagine how much ecstasy the bases who received this information would be in. This was Bai Mo Han's task, important and selfless, except for admiration, he couldn't find any other words to explain his mood at the moment.
Lei Chuan sat down beside him, his hand hanging in mid-air, after a long time, he finally tentatively touched his pale cheeks, aquiline nose, cold spectacle frames, thin lips. His movements were soothing and gentle, as if he were afraid of breaking him.
The progress bar finally reached 100% and Zhou Yun Sheng let out a long breath. He opened the incubator and pulled out the sleeping experimental body No. 1. He had to admit that as the protagonist, the other man had a handsome appearance and an incomparably strong physique, even after sleeping for half a year, his appearance was still intact.
His slid his fingertips along the man's forehead to the bridge of his nose, lips, Adam's apple, chest, and finally stopped at his lower abdomen.
"What are you doing?" Lei Chuan soundlessly asked. Although he was a ghost, he seemed to feel the man's cold fingertips sliding over him, the feeling itchy and unbearable. He was irritable and confused, so he ignored the throbbing that was hidden deep in his heart.
Zhou Yun Sheng watched him for a long time, then finally kissed experimental body No. 1's lips. Before leaving, he wanted to confirm whether he was his lover. He'd always given him a very special feeling.
The familiar thrill didn't pass through his soul, but he didn't know that he was only kissing an empty shell.
Zhou Yun Sheng straightened up and sighed, he didn't turn around to face the Guard Captain, "After I die, you have to ship him out. At the top of the freezer is a light blue tube, my psychic energy condensed into a drug, it may be able to wake him up. He's stayed here long enough, it's time for him to leave."
The Guard Captain was still stunned from the previous scene, he didn't answer for half a day.
Lei Chuan recovered from his surprise and shameful blush and shouted angrily, "You're not dead, don't say such nonsense! You have to walk with me, who knows if your medicine will work, do you want to shirk responsibility? Bai Mo Han, don't forget that you did everything to get me in here in the first place, you bastard!"
He was like a trapped beast, circling around the man, but suddenly a frostbolt shot past, phasing through his body and mercilessly striking into the other man's heart.
The Guard Captain looked back and revealed a horrified expression. The attacker was a level-11 Ice Warrior, he was ordered to come and harvest Bai Mo Han's head. There was complete data, experienced researchers, and sophisticated instruments, Bai Mo Han no longer had value. Since he refused to listen, it was better to get rid of him.
Zhou Yun Sheng clutched his chest and fell to the ground, coughing up blood, then a more powerful force pulled his soul out from his body. He knew it was time to leave.
"No! Bai Mo Han you can't die! I want you to come with us! Don't you hear me?" Seeing the man gradually closing his eyes, a huge panic and despair filled Lei Chuan's heart, he was furious, and his soul began to glow with a harsh purple light.
Boom! A loud explosion, B Base's laboratory for storing valuable information instantly turned into ashes. The higher-ups' hopeful attempt to use the vaccine to control the whole country and even the world had become a big joke.
