Chapter 288: Chapter 125: 60-Year-Old Girl_2

They even used drone reconnaissance for their concealed actions in the forest.

When Chen Jian saw the enemy suddenly appear less than a hundred meters away at the edge of the woods, his heart skipped a beat.

He had thought it would be a skirmish.

But in the next second, that squad turned tail and ran, disappearing into the woods in the blink of an eye.

"They are afraid of us."

Chen Jian let out a quiet breath and then said:

"Luckily they’re afraid of us, otherwise, at this distance, a fight would also...."

He paused at these words.

Lei Jie, beside him, added with amusement:

"Actually, it wouldn’t be too troublesome."

"Yeah."

Ji Xing spoke with a distant tone:

"It wouldn’t be troublesome at all, it’s a pity they don’t dare to make a move."

"Of course, they are afraid of us."

"After this battle, in the entire wasteland world, no one will not fear us..."

...

Meanwhile, in the collapsed ruins, an arm abruptly pushed away a heavy wooden beam.

Then, a starkly pale face emerged from the rubble.

The Queen was breathing heavily, struggling to push aside all the bricks and stones covering her. By the time she managed to lift the heaviest stone off her leg, she had already lost all strength.

At this moment, she deeply hated this frail body.

Why wasn’t she what they called a "Holy Blood"?

Why didn’t she have the strong physique that a true Holy Blood should possess?

If that were the case, she wouldn’t be trapped here.

Even if she were to die, she could die fighting those so-called "Huaxia Army", right?

A self-mocking smile appeared on the Queen’s face.

She looked down at her fractured and twisted leg and finally gave up struggling further.

Death was already approaching.

Those Huaxia Army people would definitely find her and use all kinds of cruel methods to force her to reveal the secrets of Huadu.

Maybe for her, ending it herself before they arrived would be the best choice.

Yet, ironically, the gun that could afford her this final dignity was just a few meters away, and she no longer had the strength to reach it.

She lay on her back on the ruins, gazing at the clear sky after the war.

By now, the sunlight had gradually brightened, and she realized that this might be the last time she would see the morning sun.

----But why exactly did things develop to this extent?

Everything had been going smoothly.

Controlling Quan City, establishing Huadu, creating divine medicine, and grasping her own unique power.

Then followed a series of experiments, research involving Terror Demons, Holy Blood, and those Mimic Heretics.

Although these studies hadn’t achieved groundbreaking progress, she believed the answers were already within reach.

If only she had a bit more time, she could have reached the final result.

But coincidentally, those Huaxia Army appeared.

For no apparent reason, they started attacking her.

Everything she painstakingly built was destroyed at Anqing, ruined by their hands.

And now, they even pursued her to Huadu, thrusting her only "homeland" into the flames of war.

She couldn’t understand why they were doing this.

But even more puzzling was how they could wield such an invincible power.

They were like an iron wall.

Everyone who tried to crash into it was smashed to pieces.

Including herself.

The Queen let out a long sigh.

She closed her eyes, trying to control her breathing.

She didn’t want to die here.

If there was no dignified way to die, then perhaps, before she died, she should hand over everything she knew to those Huaxia Army.

She wanted them to know that what they were doing was wrong.

She wanted those war maniacs to understand that they might have destroyed humanity’s last hope with their own hands.

Time ticked by, second by second, and the Queen’s vision gradually blurred.

But just as she was about to pass out, the roar of machines suddenly came to her ears.

Immediately, someone said:

"Found high-value target."

"The only female.... this must be the Queen, right?"

"She’s still alive!"

The Queen’s eyes suddenly opened wide.

A mocking smile rose on her face.

Then she spoke:

"That’s right, I’m still alive."

"You won, but you also destroyed humanity’s hope."

"How about it, happy?"

"Very happy."

Chen Jian removed his helmet and looked directly at her, saying:

"Wasn’t that happy at first, but now seeing that a drug dealer still considers themselves humanity’s hope, I think what I did was absolutely right."

As his words fell, the expression on the Queen’s face suddenly froze.

Then, glaring at Chen Jian, she incredulously asked:

"Just because of this?"

"So, your reason is just this??"

"What ’this’ and ’that’?"

Chen Jian frowned, while the Queen continued to question:

"So your constant attacks on us are just because of the drugs we use, is that all?!"

"Not just that."

Chen Jian slowly shook his head and replied:

"And the human experiments you conducted at Anqing."

"...just for these two reasons?"

"Aren’t these two reasons enough?"

Chen Jian countered.

The Queen exhaled a long breath, blood foam leaking from the corner of her mouth.

Then she bitterly smiled and shook her head, saying:

"It’s truly ironic..."

"I’ve always thought there was some irreconcilable conflict of interest between us."

"I thought it was because of the Jinling Ruins, then thought it was because of the treasure of Quan City."

"But I never imagined that you would push us to the brink of death for these two ridiculous reasons."

"It’s really....so ironic."

"So you really don’t know what I’m doing, right?"

"You really don’t know how valuable what I’m doing is to this world, to all of humanity, do you?"

"Right, you couldn’t possibly understand...."

"You war freaks are no different from those crazy people in the Mechanical God Sect."

"You’re just stronger than them."

"I have nothing more to say."

"Kill me."

"All the information is in the ruins. Whatever you find, consider it your skill."

"Of course, I can also tell you, you won’t be interested in those things."

"Perhaps, there’s no need for you to dig it up at all...."

"That’s not for you to decide."

Chen Jian raised the explosive gun in his hand, aiming at the Queen’s head.

But just as he was about to pull the trigger, a figure suddenly leaped out from behind him.

Then, someone shouted loudly:

"You can’t die here!"

"Hey, you promised me! Where is my brain machine?!"

"You said you’d give me more! I have to get it!"

"Lord Guardian! Don’t die!"

"Right, right, it’s Queen, I should call you Queen!"

"You can’t die!"

"Quickly save her! What are you all doing standing there? All the secrets are in her brain!"

"Please help me! Please help me..."

Chen Jian was bewildered by Xu He’s frantic actions, instinctively wanting to push him away to continue his unfinished task.

But within Xu He’s scattered words, he caught an unusual piece of information.

"Lord Guardian"??

Xu He... called this Queen, Guardian!?

Chen Jian’s action of pulling the trigger stopped, he turned to look at the newly arrived Ji Xing, who was striding forward as if possessed.

She stared intently at the Queen’s face.

After a long time, she spoke with a trembling voice:

"I know you..."

"Guardian... Lin Jing..."

"I thought you were already dead..."

The Queen opened her eyes.

She looked in Ji Xing’s direction, a smile suddenly appeared on her lips.

"I know you too, Ji Xing."

"It seems you’ve left that place."

"And became my enemy."

"This is truly interesting..."

"How is it possible!?"

Ji Xing rushed forward, grabbing the Queen’s arm.

Then, she hoarsely said:

"You’re already at least sixty years old....how could you possibly be her?!"
