Chapter 282: Chapter 196: Siren’s Song_4

Besides the secretly constructed "vacuum chambers," the ship also featured a full set of biochemical research equipment.

Xiao Yu and I, along with our research team, moved in for a two-year adaptative voyage.

"Meng Mountain" and "Loulan," were the two "Doomsday Response Bases" I had invested all my resources into building.

The "Two Cities Plan" was essentially one life, two paths.

One city was used to spy on the enemy, serving as a forward base.

The other was meant to cling to survival, peering into a farther future...

The security company run by Cheng Biao and Ah Xing was in charge of guarding the Meng Mountain shelter.

The purpose was to carry out hazardous "fishing" missions and engage the enemy in close "knife-fight" combats.

In the plan, this "Loulan vessel" was like a carefully crafted oasis of civilization, far away from the ravages of war, akin to Jiangnan beyond its borders...

...

In early 2043, the "Second Fishing Plan" formally commenced.

The deadly tune from the underground lab at Meng Mountain rippled out like waves at the speed of sound.

The first zombie, "Hu Dazhi," was illegally created, marking their irrevocable step onto a path of no return...

Yes, in the legal sense.

For this operation, the security company hired many of Cheng Biao and Ah Xing’s "villagers" at high salaries, obtained a small batch of firearms and ammunition from the black market, and spent a fortune on upgrading the security of the shelter.

From the moment the operation began, everyone was to keep as quiet as possible. In emergencies, they would use only the ancient dialect of Gutian, understood by merely a few hundred thousand people worldwide!

Yes! According to the plan, I needed to verify.

Whether aliens understand the dialects of Country Hua or not...

To achieve a "Silent Hill" effect, I had spent several years mastering this "foreign language"... Gutian dialect.

It was undoubtedly a painful memory.

So, I firmly believe that unless these aliens have exceptionally high IQs and can learn instantly, they could not possibly be cruel enough to master all 129 dialects of Country Hua!

...

In the quantum-encrypted communicator, costing a fortune, I could clearly see the goings-on at the experiment facility miles away from the control room of the Loulan vessel and hear live updates coming through the communicator.

After waiting for over twenty years, I had enough patience.

I was peeling an Apple, quietly waiting for the hunt that was approaching... or being hunted.

On the third night since the action began, the surveillance cameras scattered throughout the control room began to go dark one by one. I knew... the enemy had arrived!

"Sound the alarm! Everyone keep silent! Seal all ventilation ducts!"

"Main power cut off, switching to backup power!"

"Activate all life-detection devices! Enemy traces detected at the first-level A entrance! Numbers 2, our personnel losses 4!"

"Unknown ultrasound detected everywhere in the base, parsing upload, releasing full-spectrum interfering sound waves!"

"Enemy invasion speed has slowed, preliminary judgment deems interference effective, personnel losses 6... 10... 18..."

"Casualties are too high, our personnel are starting to show signs of breaking down."

"The first group of defectors failed to break through, the enemy has arranged interceptors at 2 exits, the number of enemies has increased to at least 4!"

"Special operations squad annihilated, firearms inflicted some damage to the enemy but minimal. The assassins’ speed and agility exceeded expectations, they seem to feel no pain!"

"This is Ah Xing, beginning to use ’overclocking potion,’ heading to block assassin number 1 ..."

"Ah Xing severely wounded, assassin number 1 dead, proceeding to capture the test subject."

"Assassin number 2 has suddenly halted their actions!"

"A new intruder detected at the base entrance! They haven’t moved, intentions currently unclear!"

"￥&￥##%￥#..."

Suddenly, a strange yet soul-piercing tune rose in everyone’s earpieces.

Like the siren’s song, intoxicating to one’s senses...

The next moment, he felt something in his heart magnify infinitely.

He thought of the lost revelations, the world on the brink of destruction, and the smile that had frozen in his arms that night...

Flowers may bloom again, but do people meet again?

Not in this lifetime, right?

A man, a city, like a wandering child of civilization, lonely floating in this endless sea without sight of the shore?

Life was already so despairing.

So where really lay the meaning of my struggling existence?

I was almost impatient, looking forward to crossing the vast distances of time and space to see her once more, to fulfill our last promise...

When consciousness finally returned, it came with a sharp pain in the chest.

I looked down to see a kitchen knife deeply embedded in my heart.

And holding it,

was my own hand...

"Ah," I sighed softly.

Facing death, I felt no fear at all; instead, I felt a sudden release of everything, my heart filled with relief.

Bleeding profusely, I staggered to the door of the control room and pushed it open, unconcerned with the panicked expressions of the crew.

I leaned on the ship’s railing, standing at the highest point of this massive vessel.

Letting the sea breeze brush across my cheeks, I gazed into the distance.

Watching the sky, the ocean, and remembering you.

I’m not really watching the sea, just contemplating the profound regrets I’ve harbored...]
