It's not too much to say that a beauty is a little bit stronger

Human beings are a unique species with independent thinking, strong will, and persistent pursuit of life.

There are many ways for species to become extinct, including genetic modification, resource depletion...

And now they are facing the global zombie virus.

However, it turns out that the zombie virus did not cause the extinction of mankind.

So, if we really want to make humans disappear completely, what should we do?

Destroy their minds at the root and lead humanity to self-destruction by manipulating consciousness.

They gradually lose the desire and motivation to survive, and eventually give up their lives voluntarily.

In this situation, no human being can be spared, and this kind of power is absolutely beyond human cognition. It is—

A god-like existence.

Xiao Huai slowly and briefly expressed his thoughts.

“Just make people stop wanting to live.”

Hearing Xiao Huai's answer, Su Haoqian smiled, then turned around and switched to a new picture on the PPT on the podium.

The screen showed a snow-covered wasteland with several eye-catching red marks on the screen.

Su Haoqian pointed at the screen and said calmly, "Under the northern ice sheet, there are three huge tumors. Everyone who has lived near them has committed suicide without exception."

His voice was calm and steady, but every word was as biting as a cold wind.

"According to our speculation, those three tumors are very likely to contain some kind of mental virus, directly contaminating the surrounding air. And what's even more terrifying is——"

Su Haoqian paused, his eyes sweeping over everyone in the hall, and then he softly uttered the last words:

"We found a heartbeat inside the sarcoma."

As soon as the word "heartbeat" came out, the whole audience fell silent. Everyone stared at the picture on the screen with wide eyes in shock.

No one wants to believe this, but the fear that strikes the soul has been deeply rooted in everyone's heart.

Su Haoqian watched the reactions of the crowd below the stage and continued:

"We can't fully confirm what this means. But what is certain is that this power is not naturally formed, but more like a legacy left by some unknown existence."

The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely depressing, and even the air seemed to be stagnant.

Xiao Huai didn't say anything, just sat quietly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

Su Haoqian's voice continued to echo in the hall: "The question now is - can we harness the power of these three tumors, or must we seal them completely to prevent them from destroying the entire world."

He paused, looked around, and said in a relaxed tone:

"But you don't need to worry too much. I have developed a potion that can suppress the power within these tumors. However, to complete the seal, we must send three task forces deep into the ice field to directly apply the potion to the tumors."

The screen switched to the roster of the three teams and a map of the sealed location. Su Haoqian pointed at the images and explained:

"Participants in these missions must undergo rigorous testing, and their mental strength must reach extremely high standards in order to withstand the effects of the sarcoma."

"I already have three teams ready, but I have another important announcement to make at this meeting today."

His gaze fell on Xiao Huai again, and he read out the last sentence:

"The core of this operation is Xiao Huai. No matter what the cost, he must survive to the end."

This means that in the face of great danger, everyone can sacrifice.

They will give everything they have, even their lives, for Xiao Huai's survival.

That is the most decisive order.

As soon as the words fell, the hall fell into an uproar.

Su Haoqian ignored the uproar and just raised his voice.

"I don't know if you've noticed, but he's the founder of Dawn. The oracle seems to have begun. I personally believe in the power of humanity. Perhaps, he can become our savior."

As soon as he finished speaking, the discussion in the venue became more intense.

Most people did not buy into this decision. Some couldn't help but curse under their breath, thinking it was a bad choice. Some even cursed very harshly, saying that Xiao Huai's existence would ruin the entire plan.

"Him? Everyone wants to protect him? Are you crazy? I've seen those eyes. It's the guy in the photo! He's the Destroyer. He's the one who caused the Dawn Base to self-destruct!"

Everyone knows that after Dawn destroyed itself, it went through many years of darkness.

The noise continued, and many people obviously could not accept that Xiao Huai became the key figure in this operation. Questions and angry discussions echoed throughout the lobby.

Su Haoqian watched all this with a calm expression. He did not stop everyone's discussion, but just stood in front of the podium, as if waiting for some response.

Xiao Huai slowly stood up. Wherever he looked, the voices of questioning and anger gradually weakened, and the entire hall slowly became quiet.

He didn't say anything, but just left with Lu Yuanshi in full view of everyone.

After leaving the meeting room, Xiao Huai remained silent, and Lu Yuanshi also remained quiet and did not ask him why he left.

On the contrary, he held Xiao Huai's hand tightly, his palm warm and firm.

In the corridor, footsteps echoed in the empty space, and the echo seemed a little empty.

Suddenly, Xiao Huai broke the silence, his voice low: "Have you ever heard of my name before? Or, have you ever heard of the oracle?"

Lu Yuanshi nodded slightly and said "hmm" softly.

Who on this continent doesn't know who the oracle is referring to?

When Xiao Huai turned his head to look at Lu Yuan, his profile was particularly eye-catching under the dim light in the corridor.

The light shone on his face, outlining a three-dimensional outline. His black hair fell slightly in front of his forehead, covering part of his eyebrows, but his eyes were still clearly visible, revealing a kind of isolated indifference.

He asked softly, "Then who do you think I am? A savior, or a destroyer?"

Lu Yuanshi stopped and looked at Xiao Huai seriously.

Then came an unexpected answer:

"you are you."

His voice was not loud, but very clear, without any hesitation or awe:

"You're neither a savior nor a destroyer. Those titles were given to you by others. You don't need to bear the insults and responsibilities that come with those titles, because they're not you."

When Xiao Huai heard these words, his pupils shrank slightly, as if something had hit him deep in his heart.

He lowered his eyes, the corners of his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just remained silent.

Don't define, don't expect.

Simply accepting his existence as Xiao Huai, this straightforward and warm attitude melted a layer of ice in his heart.
