170: Chapter 170 Humanity, It's Over

Suddenly,

Xue Heng's heart felt as if it were about to stop,

but he managed to suppress the massive emotional shift and used his body to shield this strange scene.

He had a feeling that this might be the key point to breaking the current deadlock.

The potions themselves were extracted from these monsters and then produced by adjusting gene sequences.

So, if these potions contained the ability to repair the body,

it wouldn't be too surprising.

Xue Heng then took a deep breath and looked toward Wei Chengjun opposite him.

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Hehehe,"

Wei Chengjun laughed faintly without saying a word.

But his smile was extremely eerie, like a demon grinning wickedly.

This caused the tension in Xue Heng's heart to gradually climb to an extreme level.

But he knew very well that he absolutely could not back down now.

The chance was still there.

According to the previous communications,

the people from Daybreak were already on their way up the stairs.

If there were no accidents,

perhaps this situation really would be resolved!

Xue Heng suppressed the fear in his heart and looked at Wei Chengjun again.

"Elder Wei, you should know very well that I am always on your side."

"Hehehehe,"

Wei Chengjun let out a cold laugh, as if mocking Xue Heng's overestimation of his own abilities.

"Truly interesting!! I didn't expect you to still be so calm.

Intriguing, truly intriguing."

"..."

Xue Heng didn't speak; he could already feel that the 'repairing' movement behind him had ended.

Then, a slender hand grabbed his foot.

He then spoke up,

"Elder Wei..."

But just as he spoke,

Wei Chengjun's aged voice came from behind him instead.

"Did you think Wen Xiuya could save you? Wrong, everything is within this old man's control..."

The moment those words were uttered, Xue Heng's body trembled violently.

Behind him, Wen Xiuya, who had been repairing her injuries step by step, had already stood up and placed her jade-like hands on his shoulders.

She then rested her head on him and chuckled softly,

"Hehehehe, this young body is truly not bad.

Xue Heng! Why do you think this old man didn't kill you, even knowing you had a rebellious heart?"

"Wei... Elder Wei... I... I don't,"

Xue Heng tried to argue, but those slender jade hands felt like two cleavers at that moment.

If he gave any abnormal answer or reaction, these 'blades' would instantly slaughter him.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Xue Heng said,

"I don't know."

"Hehehe,"

Wei Chengjun's aged voice came from Wen Xiuya's mouth, and immediately after, the 'Wei Chengjun' opposite him spoke at the same time.

The two voices overlapped like a devil's whisper.

"Because you are like a clown. For a chance to live, you turned your own son into a monster; to survive, you threw everything you had onto the table.

But in the end,

you are nothing more than a chess piece about to be discarded!"

"You!!!!"

Xue Heng felt as if the point he was most unwilling to admit deep in his heart had been struck; he wanted to strike back in anger.

But in the next second, that immense power instantly twisted his head off.

Thud!!

Blood flowed continuously from his mouth.

Then, 'Wen Xiuya' began to retreat while letting out cries of alarm.

Then Wei Chengjun lunged forward to attack Wen Xiuya.

In that split second, the conference room door was blasted open by a group of seven.

They wore tight-fitting combat suits and carried various uniquely shaped weapons.

The moment they saw Wei Chengjun, they collectively unleashed powerful force to achieve the kill.

In the end, they took Wen Xiuya away.

These scenes became the last images in Xue Heng's field of vision.

A bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

'Humanity is finished.'

...

Bullet screen area:

[What's the deal with this black mist chasing Song Yiqing and the others? A real-life version of running from the poison zone?]

[What kind of 'running from the poison' is that? Normally, the poison zone just gives your body some debuffs,]

[but the situation here is completely different!! Damn!! It's straight-up fatal if you touch it!!]

[Yeah! I saw the places the black mist passed through; it's like a plague of locusts. It's terrifying! So terrifying!]

[Although the black mist is very dangerous, luckily its movement speed is still relatively slow,]

[otherwise there really wouldn't be any time to rest.]

[By the way, which Forbidden Zone is this?? I've never seen it before.]

[Upstairs, let me tell you some very bad news. This should be the Lost Land,]

[Penglai's plan succeeded!]

[What the hell?? The Lost Land?? Are you serious?? This place is actually the Lost Land??]

[We're dead!! I was wondering why this place was so magnificent; it's completely different from normal Forbidden Zones.]

[Wait, brother, this wave suddenly makes me feel a bit uneasy again!]

[Don't panic, we still have Song Yiqing!]

As the matter of the Lost Land was confirmed, the internet was filled with pessimism.

...

Meanwhile, on the livestream screen, Song Yiqing and the others finally stopped after sprinting for a while to put some distance between themselves and the black mist.

However, this place, which had never appeared in the murals of the Queen's Palace Forbidden Zone,

also made Song Yiqing feel somewhat surprised.

"This place really is quite strange..."

He murmured to himself.

Then, the panting Fatty held up his phone to show him.

"Lord Song, this place is the damn Lost Land!!"

"What kind of place is that?"

Song Yiqing looked at him in confusion.

Fatty was also stunned.

"Uh... the Lost Land!! It's, uh..."

He struggled for a moment but couldn't manage to say a single useful word.

In the end, it was Wang Xianzhi who explained,

"Master once told me that Forbidden Zones have a core. If you can find the true location of the Forbidden Zone and destroy it,]

then the Forbidden Zone will disappear.

And the Lost Land can be seen as a kind of reflection of the Forbidden Zone itself."

"What??"

Fatty looked at her in surprise.

"What the hell?? The Forbidden Zone itself?"

"Correct,"

Wang Xianzhi nodded heavily.

"Although it's a reflection, the danger level will still be quite a bit weaker."

"Oh my god!!"

Fatty was startled.

"We've skipped all the elite mobs and are going straight for the BOSS!"

"You're wrong!"

Wang Xianzhi shook her head slightly.

"Master once said that the Land of Illusions is mysterious and treacherous. Only by leaving this place alive are you qualified to continue into the subsequent Forbidden Zones!"
