Two days later.

Under Gong Piqing's "healing influence" ability, the Hades who were slightly injured were the first to recover, in fact, the two of them were basically able to walk on the ground the next day, but they were discussing there, even if they went out, there was nothing to do, anyway, there is no task in the institute now, and the temperature outside is still so cold, it is better to lie here honestly and warm up.

But it's only noon, Hades can't stay up, Gong Piqing is the kind of perverted existence who doesn't eat for a few weeks, but Hades is physically no different from ordinary people, in the morning, Hades is monitoring the situation in the restaurant through his mind, and finally, when the toast in the restaurant is about to be eaten up, he quickly lifted the quilt and came to a "Force dress", and quickly ran to the restaurant, leaving Gong Piqing alone in the huge infirmary in a daze against the ceiling......

A few minutes later, he heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside the door, and he knew that someone had come to bring him food, after all, no one was going to run this way except for the one who came to bring him food.

"Are you better?"

As he spoke, the food delivery person put the thermos bucket containing the rice on the small table at the head of the bed, but to Gong Piqing's surprise, the person who came to deliver him the food was actually the head of the Hades group!

"You, why did you come and bring me food in person...... This ......" Gong Piqing was flattered, and his speech became incoherent.

The old man smiled, "There are no tasks in the institute now, and I just saw the Hades go to buy food but you didn't follow, so I came to see you, how are you recovering?" ”

In the face of the old man's kind smile, Gong Pi Qingxin said, I definitely can't say that I can run all over the street like the Hades, but I just don't want to move......

"Hmm...... It's much better, and I feel like I'm almost able to walk on the ground, thank you for your concern these days......" Gong Piqing said, watching the old man open the thermos bucket, white heat immediately came out of it, and a fragrance of preserved eggs and lean porridge came out of it.

"Do we have hot porridge here?" Gong Piqing watched in surprise as the old man gave him the porridge in the thermos bucket and put it into the bowl.

"It's all the previous inventory, and now the temperature is so low, even if the cold storage is out of electricity, the food will not spoil easily, and the people in the restaurant have managed to get a big boiler that ignites the fire, and in order to prevent the black smoke from emitting when the fire is emitted, they used some means to react the black smoke through chemical effects." The old man explained to him.

Gong Piqing smiled, "It seems that adversity still produces talents......

"I'm here today to ask you some questions, is it convenient for you now?" The old man then asked.

Gong Piqing was stunned for a moment, "Fang, convenient...... There's nothing inconvenient, and there's no one to ask. ”

After speaking, Gong Piqing took the hot porridge handed over by the old man, thinking that this was the first time he had eaten a hot meal from the earth since he came back from the Demon Realm.

"Did you really think about what you told me that night?" The old man asked, staring into his eyes.

Gong Piqing nodded, "Yes...... How could I have brought it up with you without careful consideration, and not only after careful consideration, I have been thinking about this issue for many days. ”

"But don't you think we're not the same as we used to be? Even if the four major projects are restarted again, our current manpower, our current equipment, and the information in our hands are not at all the same level as back then, when our Mill Research Institute in order to complete these four projects, almost all the experts in the field were looking for experts in related fields around the world, after the success of the project, some experts stayed with us, but now they are all old and dead, and there are few left, but most of the experts signed a confidentiality agreement with us after the project ended, and we are now, I don't have the strength I had back then......" The old man said to him meaningfully.

"I understand the problems you're facing, but we can't sit still, can we? Do you know how strong the zombies out there have been? Although I can't guarantee that all the zombies I encountered in these missions are from the Xiguan Renai Research Institute, from another perspective, if Xiguan Renai's side can even throw such powerful zombies out as failures, how powerful will the successful experiments in their hands be? Or do they already possess a number of terrifying beings whose strength is comparable to that of elemental mages? That's a catastrophe for the earth! Gong Piqing said to the old man with a frown.

Seeing that the old man didn't speak for a long time, Gong Piqing was also a little anxious, "Can you tell me how you plan our future?" ”

The old man shook his head helplessly, and when Gong Piqing saw his empty gaze, his heart was half cold.

"I said, this time I don't have a plan, will you believe it?" Gong Piqing saw that when the old man said this, his eyes were a little confused, "In the six months that you have been on a mission in the Demon Realm, I have witnessed too many life and death partings, maybe I am wrong, maybe I am numb, you say that my fighting spirit has been all killed by the enemy, I just think that now we can have such a place to live in this last world, I can still see the four of you come back from the Demon Realm safely, I will ...... Contented......"

"So, you really didn't think about our future and the future of humanity?" Gong Piqing's voice trembled a little, because he really didn't expect the old man in front of him to say such a thing.

"Yes, but in my opinion, it is incomprehensible, but do you know how strong the lords of the Extremely Cold Country are? When he came to our city that day, the world was like entering an ice age, it was a low temperature that even the brain of Hades could freeze, and the reason why there are so few people here now is because in that catastrophe, we had organized countless counterattacks and assassinations, and at that time, the entire command headquarters was fully dispatched, and all the commanders exhausted their wisdom and came up with various plans. ”

Speaking of this, a ripple appeared in the old man's eyes, and Gong Piqing's thoughts seemed to be brought to that battle.

"We thought that as long as we could kill the lord of the Extremely Cold Country, we would have a chance to win, but in fact, the command kept coming up with new plans, and the soldiers kept dying on the battlefield, and we tried almost all the solutions you can think of, but none of them succeeded."

"That man in the blue and white robe, it seems that he is really the kind of omniscient and all-powerful existence, we have exhausted the strength of the entire research institute, but not even a single hair of him has been injured, all the warriors we sent out, none of them have returned, he has the power to summon absolute zero at any time and anywhere, and has the ability to crush the mind of the Hades, even I wonder if it is just a phantom of him, his body is not with us at all, he can inflict such a blow on us with only one doppelganger and one phantom......

"Mind control...... Is it stronger than the Hades......" Gong Piqing muttered incredulously.

"It's to crush the Hades, the Hades' mind control ability is like a child's play in front of him, I was in charge of all the projects of the Hades group back then, so I know the strength of the Hades very well, it is an existence that hundreds and thousands of Hades can't solve, and it is the same until now, even I doubt that if we talk here now, will he be heard."

The old man's words seemed to drag Gong Piqing into a cold cellar, even though he was holding a bowl of hot porridge in his hand, but his body did not know whether it was because of fear or low temperature, or he shivered fiercely.

"I know, he may be really strong, so strong that even the elemental mage is just a pawn in his hand, but do you know, in my opinion, my life may not be so important anymore, you also know my past, all the precious things in my life have been taken away by the guys in the demon world, maybe in the future I will really bury my life on the road to revenge, but I don't regret it, for me, every minute and every second before revenge is torment." Gong Piqing also stared into the old man's eyes and said.

"But your life matters to me! It's also important for your teachers! When your illness is not cured, your teacher often tells me that if he is not there one day, you must let me help him take care of you, you have been mentally ill for all these years he has been the most concerned about you in the entire research institute, and even he has paid attention to the official account of Xiguan Renai Mental Hospital, and every day to see those photos uploaded from the official account, hoping to see your shadow from it, do you think that such a person who cherishes you will be willing to hear what you say? Do you think his heart would feel good if he heard what you said? ”

Finally, Gong Piqing's hands trembled so much that he couldn't hold the bowl in his hand.

"Okay, I hope you can understand, you said that I don't know how powerful the zombies outside are, but I also want to tell you, you don't know how strong our enemies are, we have failed, rather than struggling with a counterattack attitude in my heart, I want to see the four of you live well in this dark world, even if you want to mention this matter to the command again, I will not agree, I have the right to veto, even if you have won over the Hades, it will not work."

With that, the old man got up and walked slowly to the corridor outside......
