Chapter 1590: Weapon

Hearing this, Yang Xiao was completely stunned.

Completely... random??

“Impossible... how could it be completely random?”

Yang Xiao subconsciously denied it, then stabbed the floating steel bar into Dr. Wayne’s other shoulder, and scarlet blood directly stained the entire coat red.

Dr. Wayne screamed in extreme pain while saying:

“The detailed information on that batch of nuclear weapons, and all the Otherworld data we collected in our experiments, is in the underground safe house... If you don’t believe me, go see for yourself.”

Yang Xiao was not good at interrogation. Besides being able to stab people a few times with steel bars, he had no better way to force a confession. He simply gave up on Dr. Wayne, directly pierced the ground, and quickly sank into the laboratory’s basement.

When Yang Xiao’s figure disappeared, the terrified researchers nearby dared to run up and scrambled to pull the two steel bars out for Dr. Wayne.

“Dr. Wayne, what do we do now??”

“He entered the safe house, but he might not trigger those interception systems... Only by manually activating the self-destruct button can we destroy it.”

Dr. Wayne looked down at the hole Yang Xiao had pierced, his eyes flashing with longing and excitement. In the face of such a nearly invincible biological weapon, Dr. Wayne’s curiosity about Yang Xiao even exceeded his fear of death...

He wanted to kill Yang Xiao, then dissect him with his own hands and study him...

As long as he could obtain even a little bit of results, he would monopolize countless world-class scientific awards. He would even create a new era!

Under Dr. Wayne’s command, two researchers immediately helped him, passing through the corpses and ruins all over the floor, and approached a certain direction.

……

The layers of encryption leading to the safe house were completely useless to Yang Xiao.

One heavy door after another opened, and Yang Xiao’s figure quickly shuttled through them. He perfectly bypassed all identity recognition systems and entered the safe house where the highest military weapon secrets were stored with the status of highest authority.

Yang Xiao searched the system for information related to nuclear weapons and Otherworld research. He soon located the specific file storage location. In addition to some calculation and summary manuscripts, there were also many soil and biological samples collected from the Gray World... among which, naturally, were some body organs of weak calamities.

Yang Xiao read the electronic files and manuscripts in the system simultaneously, trying to find information related to the "frequency band"...

He would rather believe that Wayne was trying to trick him into coming down and then finding an opportunity to escape, which was why he fabricated the concept of complete randomness... because only then would his trip be meaningful, and only then would Chen Ling and the others in the Gray World have a possibility of returning home.

But he found he was wrong...

Yang Xiao searched through all the files and did indeed find some descriptions of "frequency bands," but the final experimental result was that the world seemed unstable, and all its values were constantly changing, as were the frequency bands... Therefore, it was impossible to locate the accurate location in the Gray World through this method.

Why... why would it be like this?

Yang Xiao suddenly remembered Chen Ling saying that the Gray World and Earth were gradually approaching each other, and they were overlapping... Could it be because of this that it couldn't be located? After all, the Gray World itself was constantly moving.

But if that were really the case...

What would happen to Chen Ling and the others?

Just as Yang Xiao was bewildered, a low roar suddenly sounded from beneath his feet, as if gears and levers were churning inside. Immediately after, a heaven-shaking explosion suddenly submerged Yang Xiao’s figure!

*Boom*—!!!!

Without any conduction from electronic equipment, this safe house, which stored the highest research secrets, actually used the most primitive mechanical conduction self-destruct device... And under the instantaneous detonation of high-yield explosives, all the materials in this safe house were directly turned into fly ash!

Violent firelight rushed into the sky, and the churning thick smoke rose to form a mushroom cloud. Under the violent shock, the laboratory, which was already mostly broken, collapsed directly into a ruin.

“Dr. Wayne... is he, is he dead?” A white female scientist stood in the distance and asked cautiously.

“I don’t know, but we’d better not go up. In a while, military support from across the continent will arrive.” Wayne’s two shoulders were already wrapped in gauze. He looked in the direction where the black smoke was rising, his eyes somewhat fervent.

The white female scientist on the side was about to say something more,

The next second,

A sharp piece of metal wreckage flashed directly out of the black smoke and precisely pierced Dr. Wayne’s throat!

Dr. Wayne’s pupils contracted suddenly. He seemed to have not yet reacted to what had happened. He touched his neck with his hands, and scarlet blood covered his palms. He opened his mouth, but only the gurgling sound of blood welled up in his throat...

Immediately after, the second piece, the third piece... Countless pieces of metal wreckage were like an angry rain, crazily harvesting the lives of these surviving researchers. They screamed in terror and turned to run away, but were directly smashed into meat paste by steel doors falling from the sky!

Gorgeous auroras parted the thick smoke, and a slightly disheveled white-clad figure stumbled out from it...

Yang Xiao’s eyes were bloodshot. He was no longer the person he used to be; taking an explosion head-on was not a difficult task for him. But what he was truly angry about was Chen Ling and the others who could never return from the Gray World, and his own uselessness!

He... had failed.

*Woo-woo*—

Wind mixed with the smell of blood and acrid odors swirled between the dead ruins.

The fire was still burning, burning the corpses all over the ground to a charred black. Yang Xiao stumbled step by step across the corpses he had killed with his own hands, his body trembling slightly...

I don’t know how long it had been, but he still silently closed his eyes and made a phone call.

“...Hello?”

“Yang Xiao, how is it on your end?” Lu Xun’s concerned voice came from the other end of the phone. “Did you get the frequency band to open the Otherworld Tail Wave?”

“……”

Yang Xiao opened his mouth, and after a moment, he replied hoarsely:

“...No.”

Lu Xun’s voice was extremely serious. “What happened?”

“At the research institute, there is no record of Otherworld frequency bands at all... The Gray World is moving, all data is changing, and the portals opened by Otherworld Tail Waves are all completely random...” Yang Xiao paused for a moment,

“We might not be able to open the door for Director Chen.”

After the words fell, there was a brief pause on Lu Xun’s side...

“It’s okay, you’ve done your best,” Lu Xun’s voice softened. “Come back first, and we’ll think of a way together... Director Chen is so capable, maybe there’s another way to come back?”

“...Okay.”

Yang Xiao didn't know how to respond, so he finally nodded.

“Mm, then we’ll see you in Wushan.” Lu Xun was about to hang up the phone when Yang Xiao’s voice suddenly sounded:

“Wait.”

Lu Xun’s hand, about to press hang up, paused in mid-air... He seemed to have guessed something, and his gaze revealed a trace of complexity.

I don’t know how long it had been,

Yang Xiao’s hoarse voice sounded from the mobile phone:

“Old Lu, tell me...”

“About this matter... do they know?”
