Chapter 29: Just One Human
"Do you think you have the right to negotiate with me now?"
As Xu Yuan spoke, she slowly opened the car door and sat down in the seat next to Zhao Guoqiang.
Zhao Guoqiang: ...
After witnessing Xu Yuan pull down the door of the bulletproof car with his bare hands, he finally realized what Bei Wei meant when she said, "You have no idea what consequences you will cause."
If wishing is truly uncontrollable, then he already possesses that ability.
"No, so this isn't about negotiating, it's just a request." Zhao Guoqiang looked directly at Xu Yuan, his eyes filled with sincerity. "If it can quell your anger, you can kill me, but don't make things difficult for the soldiers."
The other person's words surprised Xu Yuan.
As his mental strength further increased, he was now able to use the method of entering dreams.
It also gained the ability to perceive.
This includes the perception of malice, and...
The perception of lies.
Xu Yuan clearly sensed that Zhao Guoqiang's words contained absolutely no lies.
It is an almost obsessive purity—without selfishness, without malice, only a steadfast commitment to duty and a willingness to die for the consequences.
This purity dissipated most of the murderous intent in Xu Yuan's heart.
Such pure emotions are the perfect vessel for the power of the Four Gods!
But there was no trace of the Four Gods' aura emanating from him!
This guy is interesting...
"Why did you attack me?"
"Your power is uncontrollable. Uncontrollability is risk. My duty is to eliminate all risks for the country and the people."
"And now?"
"Currently, the risks are manageable. But if things get out of control in the future, I will still intervene."
"Still want to make a move?"
"I will be the one you lose control on the day you do."
Xu Yuan was so angry he laughed.
He always thought his father, Lao Xu, was eccentric enough, but he never expected to meet Zhao Guoqiang today, who was even more reckless!
The conversation was like that between a human and a machine. Under Xu Yuan's spiritual perception, what the other party said was actually the truth!
He was not seeking personal power, nor was he bewitched by the Four Gods, and he even harbored no ill will towards himself; he was simply upholding his duty.
Putting aside the fact that he didn't have the ability to kill himself, just based on his will and perseverance, Xu Yuan no longer wanted to kill him!
It even... made Xu Yuan somewhat admire it.
The end of the world is near, or perhaps this is the most glorious part of human civilization.
Killing him is easy; all it takes is a flick of a finger, and his head will explode like a ripe watermelon!
But now, Xu Yuan is more interested in seeing just how far he can go...
"Alright..."
Just as Xu Yuan was about to speak, a frantic roar of an engine came from afar.
Following the sound, a bright pink 911 sports car was speeding towards them.
I wish I could see that the person sitting in the driver's seat was Bevy.
At this moment, Bevy looked extremely anxious, and the accelerator was practically welded into the fuel tank.
"Stop! Stop! Please stop fighting..."
From a great distance, Xu Yuan could hear Bei Wei's desperate screams.
Make a wish: ...
This way you won't kill someone?
"Squeak!"
After a sharp screech of brakes.
Beiwei stopped the car and rushed to the military vehicle. When she looked up, she saw Xu Yuan and Zhao Guoqiang sitting in the same row, and the atmosphere seemed quite harmonious.
Bevy: ?
Although she felt like a clown, Bevy couldn't care less about that now.
She quickly looked up at the percentage of blood red in the sky, which was still 90% and had not increased. Only then did she feel a little relieved.
He then hurriedly explained to Xu Yuan.
"Xu Yuan, you must stay calm, General Zhao cannot die..."
Xu Yuan spread his hands and patted Zhao Guoqiang on the shoulder.
"Alright, I'm in a good mood today. For Bevy's sake, you can leave. I won't kill you."
Bevy: ?
No, do I have that much influence?
The disparity between the terrible outcome and what Beiwei had anticipated was so great that it even left her somewhat dazed.
However, she was secretly delighted at the same time...
But Zhao Guoqiang, this reckless and unruly man, didn't have such ulterior motives.
He glanced at Xu Yuan.
"What about the soldiers I brought with me? I brought them out, and I'm taking them all back with me."
Make a wish: ...
That's hilarious, Zhao Guoqiang!
"You should be glad you didn't intend to harm my family. I didn't kill them, I just knocked them unconscious. Judging by the time, they should be waking up soon."
Xu Yuan shook her head, ignoring Zhao Guoqiang, and turned to walk into the residential area.
Halfway there, he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Beiwei.
"By the way, Beiwei, we're moving today. If you're free tonight, Lao Xu would like to invite you to our new housewarming party."
"Huh? Ah!" Bevy was a little taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously replied, "Okay, no problem!"
Xu Yuan twitched the corners of her mouth and continued walking into the residential area.
Old Xu was able to bring down housing prices by a few hundred million; it's clear that Beiwei has put in the effort!
She didn't even ask where her new home was.
As for why he harbors resentment towards Bei Wei because Zhao Guoqiang brought people to "test" him today?
Stop joking. Even if Beiwei informed him in advance, it doesn't prove that she's on his side. Just based on the help Beiwei has given him and the Xu family, Xu Yuan won't hold a grudge against her.
He's not Cheng Yong; he can't tell who's good and who's bad.
It wasn't until Xu Yuan's figure was about to enter the residential area that Bei Wei came to her senses and called out to him from afar.
"I promise you, I will definitely give you an explanation for what happened today!"
Xu Yuan simply waved his hand with his back to her without saying a word.
After a while.
Zhao Guoqiang finally brought out the Dragon Soul Special Forces team, with not a single member missing.
However, all the elite soldiers in this group were now bruised and battered, their faces filled with frustration and disbelief.
"This person is a monster! I only saw a dark shadow!"
"I didn't even have a chance to fire a second shot, it was too fast!"
"I have absolutely no idea how I fainted..."
Seeing the somber atmosphere, Zhao Guoqiang, who had been keeping a straight face, made a rare, dry joke.
"It's good to be young, you can fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow."
"He's not an enemy for now, otherwise you could all keep sleeping."
The expression on the faces of these elite soldiers finally improved; losing to their own people didn't count as a defeat...
Only after all the soldiers had boarded the vehicle did Zhao Guoqiang approach Bei Wei, his attitude sincere.
"Comrade Beiwei, I apologize for my unauthorized actions today. After returning, I will request disciplinary action from my superiors."
I will bear all the consequences.
Bevy: ...
Looking at Zhao Guoqiang in front of her, Bei Wei lost all her temper.
as a result of?
If there were any consequences, you'd be dressed as Zhao Guoqiang in his travel gear right now!
But she also understood that Zhao Guoqiang was different from Cheng Yong; he wasn't a bad person, he was just doing his duty.
In the end, all the words I wanted to say were summed up in a sigh.
Bei Wei spoke softly to Zhao Guoqiang.
"General Zhao, you're not testing Xu Yuan's abilities, you're testing his patience. My duty is to make Xu Yuan believe in humanity."
"Comrade Bevy, our responsibilities are different. You are responsible for making him believe in humanity, while I am responsible for preparing all the backup plans when he does not believe in humanity."
Bevy shook her head.
"General Zhao, you still don't understand. Xu Yuan is not a soldier. You see him as a weapon, but I only want him to always be a human being."
"Just a human..."
Bevy looked up at 90% of the sky again, her expression complex—only if Xu Yuan remained on humanity's side could the apocalypse be postponed; they needed to find the infected as soon as possible…
