Chapter 451 Impossible!
Chapter 451 Impossible!
"I'm sorry, Chu Tian." Li Qiang's voice was cold and mechanical. "This is my mission."
Having said that, he pulled the trigger.
A bullet shot out and headed straight for Chu Tian's chest...
At this critical moment, Chu Tian felt a powerful force surging in his body, and he instinctively stretched out his hand to block his chest.
The bullet hit his palm with a dull thud.
Chu Tian's palms were covered in blood, but he felt no pain.
He looked at Li Qiang, his eyes filled with sadness and anger.
"Li Qiang, wake up!" Chu Tian shouted, "You are not their puppet, you are Li Qiang!"
Li Qiang's eyes flickered, and there seemed to be a hint of struggle.
At this moment, a man in black suddenly appeared and struck Chu Tian on the back of the head.
Chu Tian's eyes went dark and he lost consciousness...
When he woke up again, he found himself tied to a chair.
In front of him stood a tall man.
The man was wearing a black robe and a mask on his face, so his features could not be seen clearly.
"You're finally awake." the man said, his voice low and hoarse.
"Who are you?" Chu Tian asked.
The man took off his mask, revealing a pale and handsome face.
"I am the master of this world," the man said, "and also your...father."
"I am the master of this world," the man repeated, with a hint of teasing in his tone, "and also your...father."
Chu Tian was stunned, his mind went blank. Father? This word was so strange and distant to him. He grew up in an orphanage and had never seen his parents.
"Impossible!" Chu Tian almost shouted, "You are lying to me!"
The man chuckled. "Lie to you? Why would I lie to you? The blood in your body cannot lie to anyone."
He walked up to Chu Tian, stretched out his hand, and gently stroked Chu Tian's cheek, "My son, you are finally back."
Chu Tian felt nauseous and turned his head sharply to avoid the man's touch.
"Don't touch me!" Chu Tian roared, "I won't believe your nonsense!"
The man was not annoyed. He withdrew his hand and put on the mask again. "I know it's hard for you to accept it at the moment, but the fact is the fact. My blood flows in your body, and you are destined to inherit my career."
"Your career?" Chu Tian sneered, "Destroying the world?"
“No,” the man shook his head, “It’s about creating a new world.”
"Nonsense!" Chu Tian said, "You are a lunatic!"
The man smiled and said, "Maybe. But only a madman can change the world."
He walked to the center of the room and pointed to a huge screen. "Look, this is my plan."
The screen showed a complex device with countless wires and pipes crisscrossing each other, flashing strange lights.
"What is this?" Chu Tian asked.
"This is the core device of the 'Genesis' project," the man explained, "It can change the rules of the world and create a brand new world."
"You're crazy!" Chu Tian looked at him in disbelief, "Do you really want to destroy this world?"
The man shook his head. "No, I said, I want to create a new world. A better world."
"A better world?" Chu Tian repeated his words, feeling extremely ironic, "A world without humans?"
The man was silent for a moment, then he said, "Humans are the most greedy and selfish creatures in the world. They destroy nature, pollute the environment, and wage constant wars. The world is already terminally ill and needs to be reshuffled."
"So you want to destroy everything?" Chu Tian asked.
"No," the man denied again, "I just want to give this world a new start."
Chu Tian looked at him, his eyes full of anger and helplessness. He knew that he could not stop this madman.
"Why are you telling me this?" Chu Tian asked.
The man smiled and said, "Because you are my son. I have an obligation to let you know the truth."
"The truth?" Chu Tian sneered, "What you call the truth is nothing but your lies."
The man did not refute, he just looked at Chu Tian, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.
"Do you have anything else to say?" the man asked.
Chu Tian took a deep breath, "I just want to ask you a question."
"what is the problem?"
"Where is Li Qiang?"
The man was silent for a moment, then said, "He's dead."
Chu Tian's heart sank suddenly, and a huge sadness surged in his heart.
Li Qiang, his friend, his brother, died just like that.
"Why?" Chu Tian asked with a trembling voice.
"Because he betrayed me." The man said calmly.
"Betrayal?" Chu Tian roared, "He just wanted to stop you! He just wanted to save the world!"
The man shook his head. "He is too naive. This world is hopeless."
Chu Tian was silent, he didn't know what to say.
The man walked up to him, reached out his hand, and untied the ropes that tied him.
"You can go now," the man said, "and see what this world looks like in the end."
Chu Tian stood up, without looking at him, and walked straight to the door.
"Wait," the man suddenly called out to him.
Chu Tian stopped and didn't look back.
"Remember," the man said, "you are my son. You have my blood flowing in your veins."
Chu Tian didn't answer. He pushed the door open and walked out.
Outside, there was a storm with thunder and lightning.
Chu Tian stood in the rain, letting the rain wash over his body.
He didn't know where to go or what to do.
He only knew that the world had changed and could never go back.
He raised his head and looked at the dark night sky, his heart filled with confusion and despair.
Suddenly, he saw a figure standing in the distance, staring at him.
That figure is... Li Qiang?
The wind and rain were like countless tiny ice needles piercing Chu Tian's face. He stumbled forward, the world in front of him blurry. Li Qiang was dead. The news was like a heavy hammer, hitting his chest hard, making him almost unable to breathe.
He thought of the days when they grew up together, skipping classes together, fighting together, and sharing secrets together. Li Qiang always smiled, like the warm sunshine in winter. But now, the sunshine has gone out, leaving only endless darkness and coldness.
"You are my son. My blood flows in your body." The man's last words echoed in his ears like a curse, tightly wrapping around him and making it impossible for him to breathe.
He suddenly stopped, raised his head, and looked at the figure in the distance. Was it really Li Qiang? Or was it an illusion caused by his excessive sadness?
The figure was getting closer and closer. Under the dim street lights, Chu Tian finally saw clearly that it was Li Qiang! He was wearing a black windbreaker and his face was pale, but his eyes were unusually firm.
