Chapter 1225 The Moment of Awakening! (The Finale)
"A cure for the virus?" Ding Kai took the stack of documents, somewhat stunned, and subconsciously asked a question.
"That's right!"
Qin Chong stretched and said, "These documents contain the cure for the X virus. With these, along with the evolutionary agent, even if the apocalypse is unstoppable and still comes, it will not pose a threat to humanity."
"Okay! I understand." Upon hearing Qin Zhong's words, Ding Kai was shocked and gripped the stack of documents tightly with both hands. He could sense a storm brewing in Qin Zhong's calm tone.
"I'm leaving!"
Qin Zhong unfolded his metal wings, as if preparing to leave. Seeing him about to depart, Sun Xiaoyan and Hu Meng asked almost simultaneously, "Brother Qin, where are you going?"
Qin Zhong glanced at the two of them, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Although I destroyed Shennongjia and Easter Island and killed the seven demon kings, I have not seen the Emperor. Therefore, I must find him. Only by killing him can I truly end this apocalypse!"
"But where are you going to find him?" Hu Meng asked anxiously.
Qin Chong shrugged and said, "I think he must be hiding in some secret base. Although I don't know where he is, I have the power of my domain. As long as I get close to him, I will be able to sense him. Whether it takes ten or twenty years, I will definitely find him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Zhong's metal wings flapped, and he shot into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Sister Hu Meng, what should we do?" Watching Qin Chong walk away, Sun Xiaoyan suppressed her reluctance and looked at Hu Meng beside her.
Hu Meng sighed and looked at Ding Kai, saying, "Captain Ding, take the information Qin Zhong gave you and study it as soon as possible, and produce as much of this drug as possible. At the same time, we must not slacken our efforts in vaccinating all of humanity, including those in China and the world, against the X-virus, and we must be careful not to cause panic among people!"
Ding Kai nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will use the pretext of preventing a special infectious disease to have everyone vaccinated. The corresponding plan has already been formulated. As for other countries on Earth, we will also achieve our goal through diplomatic means. From Elder Shen and others to ourselves, we will do our best."
"Great, that's wonderful!"
Hu Meng nodded, then looked at Sun Xiaoyan, reached out and touched her hair, and said, "Xiaoyan, let's continue searching for the secret base of the X-star people. Maybe we can help Brother Qin find the Emperor as soon as possible and end this apocalypse."
“Hmm!” Sun Xiaoyan nodded, standing side by side with Hu Meng. The two beautiful women gazed at the direction Qin Chong had gone, and remained there for a long time.
……
Eight years have passed in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, a huge spatial rift appeared above a small island in the South Pacific.
As the crack appeared, a figure staggered out. This figure was none other than Gu Shantong, the demon of Demon Mountain, who was also the emperor possessing him.
At this moment, the emperor was in extremely poor condition, looking utterly miserable. His entire body was covered with numerous knife wounds, the most fatal being the deep, gruesome wound on his chest that exposed bone, almost splitting his body in two.
Wisps of black flame still lingered at the edges of the wound, constantly scorching his body and making it extremely difficult for him to even maintain his physical form.
As soon as Huang Gang landed, he spat out a mouthful of dark golden blood. The blood dripped onto the beach and made a sizzling sound, corroding small pits into the hard sand.
The emperor struggled to raise his head, his once domineering golden vertical pupils now bloodshot and filled with unbelievable resentment.
He stared in the direction where the spatial rift had disappeared, and roared hoarsely, "Qin Zhong! You've been hunting me down for three years! I won't let you get away with this! I swear I won't rest until I avenge this!"
"Hmph!" As the emperor finished speaking, a cold snort came from the crack. Before the emperor could react, Qin Chong's figure flashed and appeared on the beach the instant the spatial crack closed.
"you!"
Seeing that Qin Chong had actually followed him here, the emperor's expression changed slightly, and he roared, "Who exactly are you? Why have you been hunting me down for the past three years? Do we have a grudge against each other?"
Qin Chong raised an eyebrow and said, "Your Majesty, why bother to hide it? Do you think I made up all this nonsense about how you X-star people are trying to wipe out humanity and transform Blue Star into a planet suitable for X-star people to live on? You're about to wipe out humanity, and you still have the nerve to ask me if we have any grudges? I am a human, and you are an X-star person inhabiting a Blue Star person. Do you think we have any grudges?"
"you you!"
Upon hearing Qin Zhong's words, the Emperor's pupils suddenly contracted, and he said incredulously, "Who exactly are you? How do you know all this! You, you are a Y-planet person?"
"Are you an idiot? I've already told you, I'm human!"
Qin Zhong scoffed and cursed, "Enough nonsense! I've been chasing you for over a month. Are you planning to keep running, or do you intend to make this your final resting place?"
"I'm afraid you won't succeed!"
Qin Zhong's words caused the emperor's expression to change several times. Then, a fierce look appeared on his face, as if he knew that he could not escape, and he suddenly rushed towards Qin Zhong.
Seeing the emperor rushing towards him at high speed, Qin Chong's eyes sharpened. His metal wings fluttered behind him, and he stomped his right foot heavily on the ground, charging straight towards the emperor at a speed far exceeding that of the emperor.
At the same time, accompanied by a series of violent rumbling sounds as the earth broke open, countless sharp metal spears shot out from wherever the emperor passed, blocking his path.
The Emperor's strength at this moment is indeed not weak, but it is still much inferior to him ten years later. The current Emperor is only a level six evolver. For Qin Zhong, who has already reached level nine, killing him is only a matter of time.
"Little tricks!"
Faced with the metal spears that kept bursting out of the ground and thrusting towards him, a sinister killing intent appeared on Huang's face. He waved his right hand repeatedly, unleashing spear flowers formed from pure ice energy, tearing all the metal spears blocking his way to pieces.
Then, he accelerated again, rushing towards Qin Zhong in the blink of an eye. With a powerful thrust of his right hand, an ice spear appeared, its tip aimed at Qin Zhong's head as it hurtled towards him.
"Ping ping pong pong!"
Facing the endless barrage of spears shooting towards him, and the fire hidden behind them, Qin Chong took a deep breath. His right hand suddenly transformed into a longsword and slashed at Huang, while his left hand condensed into a sharp longsword, sweeping across the endless barrage of spears in front of him.
Suddenly, accompanied by a dense metallic roar, Qin Chong and Huang exchanged blows nearly a hundred times in just a few seconds.
"time!"
Just then, the Emperor suddenly activated his time-manipulation superpower, and Qin Zhong's body shuddered violently, rendering him unable to move.
Seeing that the time-manipulation superpower was taking effect, Huang transformed into a golden ray of light and pounced on Qin Zhong with a speed no less than Qin Zhong's, while simultaneously thrusting the ice spear in his hand toward Qin Zhong's head.
"boom!"
Just as the ice spear was about to touch Qin Zhong's head, Qin Zhong, who had been motionless, suddenly tilted his head slightly, and the sharp tip of the ice spear grazed his ear.
"Go!" In the next moment, with a thought from Qin Zhong, a flash of fire appeared instantly, and the Thunder Sword struck heavily, accurately piercing the emperor's chest before disappearing in an instant.
"puff!"
The emperor suffered a severe blow, his smug smile instantly froze, his eyes filled with disbelief and horror, and a large amount of blood gushed from his chest like a fountain.
At the same time, his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the distant mountain wall with a dull thud.
"Damn, that was close!"
At the same time, Qin Zhong slowly moved his body, which had just regained consciousness, and looked coldly at the disheveled emperor.
At this moment, Qin Zhong felt somewhat fortunate. It was thanks to his knowledge that the Emperor possessed the superpower of time control that he had remained highly vigilant.
In that instant when time stood still, Qin Chong, with his extreme control over his body and a sliver of remaining consciousness, forced his head to make a slight evasive movement while simultaneously activating the Thunder Sword within his body to launch a surprise attack.
This series of actions was completed almost instantly. It was this lightning-fast reaction that allowed him to turn the tide from a seemingly hopeless situation.
"You, how could you possibly break my time control? Impossible! Impossible!"
Clutching the massive wound in his chest, the Emperor roared with a contorted expression. In his eyes, no matter how powerful the enemy was, as long as he activated time control, the opponent would only face certain death.
But unexpectedly, it was he who was doomed. This outcome was hard for the emperor to accept, and he was on the verge of a mental breakdown!
"Want to know?" Qin Chong walked up to the emperor kneeling on the ground, looked at the emperor covered in blood, and asked with a smile.
The emperor struggled to raise his head, looked at Qin Zhong, and asked, "Why?"
"Shh!"
He was met with a devastating blow from the Thunder Sword. As the Thunder Sword flashed, the Emperor's head was completely destroyed. Only then did Qin Zhong's reply come: "You'll know when you get to hell!"
As his head was destroyed, the emperor's mangled body collapsed limply to the ground, blood gushing out like a fountain from the broken neck, quickly forming a glaring pool of blood on the ground.
Qin Chong stood beside the emperor's corpse, his chest rising and falling slightly. Eight years had passed. It had taken him five years to find the emperor, and then three years to hunt him down. Finally, at this moment, he had killed the emperor.
At this moment, Qin Zhong, having killed the emperor, was completely relaxed and felt weak all over. So he simply lay down on the beach and looked at the azure sky.
The death of the Emperor and the destruction of the secret X-star base on Earth mean that the apocalypse will not come again, and perhaps history may be changed as a result.
Gradually, Qin Zhong's eyelids grew heavy, and an overwhelming sense of drowsiness washed over him like a tide, causing him to fall into a deep sleep in the next moment.
……
"Brother Qin! Brother Qin!"
Just as Qin Chong was drifting off to sleep, he suddenly felt someone pushing his body. He woke up with a start and saw someone he had never expected standing beside him—Yang Xin, it was him.
"What's going on?" Seeing Yang Xin dressed in work clothes, he seemed startled by Qin Zhong's actions, his face full of astonishment.
Qin Zhong gradually regained his senses. He shook his head and suddenly realized that he had become an ordinary person. All the evolutionary energy in his body had disappeared without a trace.
When Qin Chong looked around, he realized that he was actually in the warehouse office where he used to work before the apocalypse.
"What... what's going on?" Qin Chong looked at his hands in astonishment. Suddenly, a thought rushed into his mind: Could it be that he had really changed history?
"Brother Qin, what's wrong? Are you alright?" Yang Xin asked cautiously when he saw Qin Zhong, who was staring blankly after being woken up.
"Yang Xin, what day is it today?" Qin Zhong was startled by Yang Xin's words, and looked up at him abruptly, asking.
Although Yang Xin was a little confused by the question, he still answered, "July 4th!"
"which year?"
Hearing Qin Chong's somewhat clenched teeth as he pressed on, Yang Xin shrank back slightly and said, "2034, Brother Qin, are you alright?"
"July 4, 2034?"
Upon hearing Yang Xin's words, Qin Zhong was jolted awake, his face displaying a complex mix of emotions. He hadn't expected that he would actually return to the day of the disaster.
Logically speaking, the apocalypse should have already broken out by this point.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhong immediately pushed Yang Xin aside, rushed out of the room, and ran up to the warehouse rooftop without regard for anything. When he finally reached the warehouse platform, panting, and looked out at Shanghai, he found everything was so calm.
"It really has changed!"
Unbeknownst to him, two streams of tears flowed down Qin Zhong's cheeks. He had never imagined that he would actually succeed. His actions in 2026 had actually changed the course of history, preventing the apocalyptic event that should have occurred today from happening.
Everything he experienced in the apocalypse was like a dream!
Now, the time has finally come to wake up from the dream!
Just then, Yang Xin, Zhang Jiahan, and Zuo Chen rushed up, panting heavily.
It turned out that Yang Xin was terrified when he saw Qin Chong wake up as if he were possessed after taking a nap. So he found two other people, and the three of them rushed up to the platform. When they saw Qin Chong's face covered in tears, the three of them were all a little confused.
"Brother Qin, are you alright?" Zhang Jiahan, who was closest to Qin Chong, cautiously approached and asked.
Qin Zhong took a deep breath, looked at Yang Xin and Zuo Chen with a strange expression in his eyes, but still nodded and said, "It's nothing! I just had a dream, a very real dream!"
"Oh, oh!" Yang Xin, Zhang Jiahan and Zuo Chen exchanged glances. Although they were a little confused, they were relieved to see that Qin Chong was not acting strangely.
"Oh, right, Brother Qin."
Soon, Yang Xin seemed to remember something and said, "Outside the warehouse, a woman came over and said she had business to discuss with the supervisor, so I came to find you..."
At this point, Yang Xin winked and said, "Brother Qin, that woman is incredibly beautiful. I'd be willing to give up ten years of my life if I could marry her! Oh, and here's her business card!"
"Oh!"
Qin Zhong was not interested in anything at the moment and was about to send Zhang Jiahan to handle it when he saw Zhang Jiahan take the business card from Yang Xin and read, "Oh, he's a president, isn't he? President of Tianhai Pharmaceutical, Sun Xiaoyan!"
"What?" Upon hearing Zhang Jiahan read out the words, Qin Zhong suddenly turned around, snatched the business card from Zhang Jiahan's hand, and saw the words printed on the card. A look of excitement flashed in his eyes.
Soon, Qin Chong remembered what Yang Xin had said, and immediately ran off the platform and headed towards the warehouse gate.
Seeing Qin Zhong's sudden action, Zhang Jiahan and the other two exchanged bewildered glances, puzzled as to why the usually composed Qin Zhong was acting so startled today.
Qin Zhong practically tumbled and crawled down the iron ladder of the platform. The warehouse floor was uneven, and he almost tripped over the parts piled in the corner several times, but he was completely unaware of it. His heart was pounding wildly in his chest, as if it wanted to break free and jump out.
"Sun Xiaoyan... Sun Xiaoyan..." He kept repeating the name, each word seeming to carry a scalding temperature, burning his nerves.
In that "real dream" just now, this name was the deepest pain in his heart.
That day, he watched Sun Xiaoyan stare at him, and then, at the cost of her life, she helped him fight the Emperor. The heart-wrenching and remorseful feeling at the moment of her death made Qin Zhong feel as if his whole world had collapsed.
Why did he try so hard to change the course of history? It was nothing more than hoping to change the future of Sun Xiaoyan's death. And now, Yang Xin says she's here, right outside the warehouse!
Is all of this real?
Qin Zhong pushed open the heavy iron door of the warehouse. The afternoon sun was a bit dazzling, and he subconsciously squinted.
Not far from the door, a white BMW sedan was parked quietly.
Beside the car door, Sun Xiaoyan was dressed in a simple white business suit. Her long, black hair was neatly tied up, revealing her smooth forehead and slender neck. Sunlight shone on her fair cheeks, outlining her soft features.
Startled by the noise, Sun Xiaoyan's star-like eyes instantly turned towards the warehouse entrance.
It's really her!
Qin Zhong's breathing stopped instantly. He felt his eyes start to burn again, a mixture of ecstatic joy at having something lost and found, and an unbelievable excitement.
At this moment, all the efforts are worth it.
