Scarlet Dawn [Apocalypse]

"Father—why is it you?"

"Well, it's me—"

Bai Congxi adjusted his glasses, his eyes behind the crystal lenses were bent with a smile, he took two steps forward and stood in front of Bai Yi, raised his hand and gently clasped the wrist of Bai Yi's sword-holding hand, fingers on the meridians With a skillful pinching of the part, the feeling of numbness instantly spread throughout the entire arm, and the sharp alloy blade fell to the ground with a clang.

"It's more polite like this, what do you think, Xiaoyi?" Bai Congxi let go of the opponent's wrist, before waiting for an answer, he patted his head instead, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I haven't seen you at this age. , I miss it very much.”

Bai Yi couldn't recover from the shock at all.

What's happening here?

Brooke was still unconscious outside the door. His initial expectation was to get rid of the person in the way, but he never expected that the person in the room would be——Bai Yi felt that his brain was a little confused. Father was right, but 400 years have passed, how could he still be alive?

Bai Yi took a step back, his eyes were hesitant and flickering, and there was a sense of alertness all over his body. He quickly looked at the assistants next to him from the corner of his eye. Visually, they were pure scientific research personnel, and their combat effectiveness should not be strong. Then Then he asked, "Really...is that you?"

"Of course it's me." Bai Congxi withdrew his hand very naturally, sat down next to the bed, patted the seat next to him, and said, "Xiao Yi, come here, sit down and talk."

Bai Yi didn't move, and Bai Congxi didn't force it. He smiled and said frankly, "If you have any questions, just ask me."

"You sent the message from the communicator just now?"

Bai Congxi nodded slowly, took out Brook's communicator from his dress pocket and put it on the pillow, and said in a relaxed tone: "When the child wakes up, help me return it to him. My subordinates don't know the severity, so I apologize for Dad by the way."

"What will happen to him if I don't come back?"

With a clear expression on Bai Congxi's face, he slowly said: "Well... it really is this problem, and there is really nothing I can do about it. Xiao Yi, even if you still haven't learned it today, there is absolutely no one in this world who will Give you an 'if' opportunity."

He is like a loving father, gentle and patient, and hearing what the other party said, Bai Yi only felt a chill seep out of his heart and freeze to his fingertips.

"But dad is an exception—" Bai Congxi looked at his son dotingly, keeping the line of his lips in a gentle arc, and said with a half-smile: "We have spent a lot of manpower and resources in invading the hive this time, and we are responsible for the safety. The technicians of the central attack and defense have been working continuously for nearly 72 hours, all of this is to announce the plan to the world on the one hand, and to see you on the other hand..."

Bai Yi was stunned, his brain was running quickly, stripping away the meaningless elements in the words. This sentence revealed at least three key points, the most surprising of which was that he didn't wait for him to ask the question about the 'innovator'. Bai Congxi has calmly used the word 'we' to delimit the camp together.

"So, if you don't come back, then the intended goal can only be half completed, and 'innovators' don't like unfinished." Bai Congxi looked at Bai Yi calmly, that kind of gaze would only appear in the eyes of extremely familiar people , as if he had the power to see through the soul, he paused for a moment, letting the fear magnify infinitely in Bai Yi's heart, and finally said: "He will be brought back as an experimental subject, native humans are very precious, and we also don't like to waste them. "

Except for the same skin and voice, Bai Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at him in disbelief. The man in front of him was a cruel and ruthless executor. How could he be the father of the scientist who developed antiviral drugs for the alliance.

Bai Congxi: "If you have no questions—"

"Wait!" Bai Yi interrupted hastily. Bai Congxi didn't mind, but just signaled him to continue with his eyes. Bai Yi licked his dry lips and said, "What's the relationship between you and the 'innovator'? Why? Can you live until now? Mom, is she... still alive? And—you, why are you looking for me?"

When the other party finished speaking in one breath, Bai Congxi chuckled, as if he knew that Bai Yi would ask, "Time is limited, I can't go into too much detail this time, anyway, you will know later."

"First of all, the first question, I am a scientist of the 'Innovator', one of the founders of the Dawn Virus, and this identity has continued from 415 years ago. The 'Innovator' has a religious hierarchy, so they will call me Cong Bishop West or Bishop White."

The answer to the first paragraph was like ice water poured into a frying pan, completely bombarding Bai Yi.

415 years ago, nine years before the end of the world, my father actually joined the 'innovators' since then!

"Because of the genetic program?" Bai Yi asked.

"That's right, you should have heard Claude briefly say that part."

Bai Yi was suddenly surprised, "You actually know Claude?"

"He is my student." Bai Congxi answered truthfully.

Bai Yi: "He killed me!"

"My order." Bai Congxi's tone was very light, as if it was just an unimportant matter, he raised his hand and pressed down, reminding: "Time is limited, Xiaoyi, don't interrupt me."

The hand placed by his side clenched into a fist involuntarily, trembling slightly, Bai Yi nodded reluctantly.

"Then...the second question," Bai Congxi said: "The way we extend our life is to rely on the advanced activity of the virus, which is equivalent to a relationship of conquest and symbiosis. If you dominate the virus, you can maintain consciousness, and if you are dominated by the virus, you will lose consciousness." Turning into a zombie, the mutant D virus has soft attributes and is not difficult to control."

A certain idea flashed through Bai Yi's mind, and when he was about to speak, Bai Congxi signaled him to be quiet with his eyes, and continued: "The third question, that woman is dead."

This sentence is very concise, without a trace of emotion, and even the smile that men usually keep is gone.In my memory, my childhood included the entire school days. My mother worked in the laboratory all the year round and rarely went home. Later, after he joined the Special Forces, the family rarely saw each other again. However, the relationship between the parents has always been harmonious, but according to the attitude of the father now, it seems... ...There is a big contradiction.

"last question--"

His father's voice brought Bai Yi back to reality from deep contemplation. Bai Congxi looked at the assistants behind him and signaled with his eyes that someone immediately sent a low-temperature refrigerator and a set of surgical instruments. Bai Congxi skillfully brought them to him. Medical gloves, said in a deep voice: "I'm here to check your physical condition, and take some samples to go back for research. Of course, the most important thing is to take you away."

Bai Yi was stunned for a second and immediately realized something was wrong. He raised the toe of his boot, and the sharp blade flew into the air. He grabbed the hilt of the sword with his bare hands, but he couldn't bear to strike directly. He turned his wrist and slashed it sideways.

The assistant next to him didn't move at all, Bai Congxi calmly clamped the sharp blade with two fingers, folded it lightly, and the high-strength alloy broke in two under that seemingly inadvertent movement, and at the same time a syringe was inserted into it. On the side of Bai Yi's neck, push his thumb slowly, Bai Cong watched the light blue liquid being injected into his body expressionlessly, and said lightly: "Compassion for the enemy is to cut off one's own way of life, Xiao Yi, when will you be able to do so?" learn?"

The medicine diffused with the blood and took effect quickly. Bai Yi only felt numb all over his body. Those assistants trained him to transfer him to the bed and unbuttoned his shirt.

Bai Congxi took the scalpel, exchanged a glance with Bai Yi, and then cut open the incision with ease.

"Keep quiet." Bai Congxi said briefly without looking at him.

The potion restricts movement, but strengthens perception and excitement, so that people will not faint due to pain.Bai Yi collapsed and felt his chest being opened, the pain was like a tarsal maggot gnawing at everything about him, and then he saw his father take out a silver coded card from it, with a set of numbers written on it - 297.

In an instant, a pale side face appeared in Bai Yi's mind, Bai Congxi seemed to have guessed his thinking, put the code card into the tray held by the assistant, smiled, and said: "Every Qian Akane was created for you, lived for you, and died for you."

Clenching his teeth, Bai Yi's eyes turned black from the pain, but his consciousness remained clear all the time. He took a low breath, and the voice almost came out from between his teeth, "Could it be that... I..."

"That's right, there are as many Sicis as there are you." Bai Congxi took out some samples and handed them to the assistant. After closing the chest cavity, he did not suture, but waited for self-repair. You have changed back to your original body, the artificial body is not precise enough after all, I believe you must have noticed it during the process of using it."

Bai Yi's face was covered with cold sweat, his lips were pressed tightly together, and he stopped talking.

"If you follow me, you can get your body back, and it's a perfect body, Xiaoyi, Dad understands you, and this body can't satisfy you now." Bai Congxi stretched out his hand to brush his sweat-drenched forehead hair , said softly: "You are the best work I have done with all my heart, my little Yi——"

As soon as the words fell, the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony exploded with a bang, and everyone looked back vigilantly.Bai Yi's cervical spine was stiff and unable to move, so he could only take a rough look from the corner of his eye——

The curtains were blown up by the air waves, glass shards were shattered all over the floor, Conrad stepped in with a solemn face, the sharp tip of the sharp knife slashed across the ground, making a piercing sound, while the other free hand was hanging Blood stains, the wound has healed, his cold eyes swept across several people present one by one, paused for a while on Bai Congxi, finally looked at Bai Yi who had his chest cut open on the bed, and frowned.

The most cold-blooded and ruthless Colonel Bingshan in the alliance, and at this moment everyone can clearly feel the anger of the visitor.

"It turned out to be Colonel Conrad Statham, which is really surprising." Bai Congxi curled his lips, looked at Bai Yi on the bed, and said, "In order to transfer Major General Fan Zhuo, I sacrificed the first-level mutant , I didn't expect you to be a troublesome one."

Withdrawing his attention from Bai Yi, Conrad said coldly, "You can't take him away."

Bai Congxi smiled indifferently: "What if I say no?"

Conrad met the other party's eyes, and the arc of that smile was somewhat similar to someone's. The colonel's unchanging face was still indifferent. After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke, but said to Bai Yi on the bed: "I try not to Kill him."

The smile on Bai Congxi's face deepened, and there was a playful look in his dark eyes. He took a step back, and was hidden behind by several accompanying assistants.

◆

The torrential rain had stopped at some point, the clouds cleared, and a deserted full moon hung in the night sky.

The open space among the trees was soaked with blood, the stagnant water diluted the blood but could not dilute the strong smell in the air, something was crawling hard, dragging a blood-stained band trail behind it.

The sound of footsteps, unhurried, but followed behind him like a shadow, the masked man trembled, and a military boot stepped on his back soundlessly, with a little force, the sound of bones breaking suddenly sounded in the silence.

An electric arc flashed, blood spurted out, the masked man's only remaining flesh wing rolled aside, contracting slightly as if alive, he turned his head, saw the unruly smiling face of the other party from the backlight, his pupils shrank uncontrollably suddenly.

"I said! I said!"

Putting his index finger on his lips, Silvison curled up the corners of his mouth, shhh——

The masked man's body froze, and his eyes suddenly became blank, like a puppet whose soul had been pulled out, staring blankly at those bloody eyes.

"No need," said the major general, "I'll read it myself."

Contrary to the frivolous voice, the relentless and powerful invasion of the mental probe, the memory fragments rushed in like a torrent. When everything was still, Silveson stood in a strange laboratory, looking at the opposite side with the masked man. man standing with them.

This figure... looks familiar.

"You are responsible for taking away the person in the photo, she is very important to the alliance, so they will send out powerful people to rescue." The man turned around, "You are buying us time, you have worked hard, pay attention to safety .”

If Bai Yi hadn't seen this face in his memory, Silvison would never have remembered it so quickly.

With a flattered expression on his face, the masked man bowed deeply and said, "Please rest assured, even if I die, I will definitely complete the task!"

"Go." The man waved his hand generously.

"Yes, Father!"

……

Pulling away from the touch, Silvison pursed his lips thoughtfully. Bye's father is Father. It seems that he made the right decision to keep him by his side in advance. He is indeed abnormal, so——

"You bought time just to let Father go to see Bye?"

The masked man regained his composure, and asked nazily, "Who is Bye? Father just wants to recover a new type of mutant."

Silvison's heart went cold in vain!

Not far away, after Snow finished disposing of the four corpses and sealed up the brains from which information could be extracted, he was about to go to the captain to check the situation when a gust of wind brushed past him in an instant.

Snow was slightly stunned, "Captain?" Immediately after the communicator turned on, he hurriedly picked up the voice, and Silvison's voice came out from the headset, "Take this man and send the team back to the hive. Hurry up."

"Yes, Captain!"

Cut off the call and call another number. The long waiting tone wiped out the little patience left. Silvison has never been so irritable like now, a strange sense of emptiness gnaws at the heart that will never At the beating part, he forgot how long he had lived, but for the first time he experienced the feeling of loss.

Why don't you take it?

Enter the busy signal again and again, and call again and again.

A zombie came out roaring from the bushes. Silvison didn't stop for a moment, and cut off half of its head with a knife. The brain mixed with blood was brought out by the light blade, and his combat uniform was stained to this day. the first drop of filth.

Finally, a beep came from the headset——

Silverson: "Bye?"

After a long time, he was answered by a slow, finger-tapping sound on the communicator: duk-duk-

"wait for me."

— Benedict.

The author has something to say: So the previous part of the foreshadowing is explained in this chapter, Claude is just a knife to kill Xiaobai, everything is Father's plan, but Fahther is not the last big boss~

The other Xiaobai in the spiritual domain is actually a virus, and the relationship between the two is symbiotic. Xiaobai will gain the power of the virus if he dominates the virus, and he will become a zombie if he is dominated by the virus~ As a real mother, this process will definitely not happen. Shun, but everyone understands the result~

Xiaobai's current body is not the same as before, and he has not passed into someone else's body or been reborn in someone else's body. This will be explained in later chapters~
