End of the World Cycle

Xie Qin thought of the underground laboratory he had seen in his previous life, where a large number of clones were cultivated in the laboratory. However, all of them were the size of babies, which led Xie Qin to mistakenly believe that Lu Chaoyun began to cultivate clones after the end of the world.

According to the current situation, Lu Chaoyun may have started this experiment even earlier, twenty or thirty years ago. This means that the young Lu Chaoyun now is not the real Lu Chaoyun.

Based on his experimental subjects, the real Lu Chaoyun is at least 40 or 50 years old now.

At this moment, in Xie Qin's eyes, Lu Chaoyun's appeal was greater than those two fifth-order mutant plants. She really wanted to find the real Lu Chaoyun, figure out everything, and then kill him.

Ever since she became the so-called heroine and had the mission of saving mankind, her curiosity has increased a lot. She can now ensure her own absolute safety, so all her energy can be used to explore the world and complete the mission. Life seems to be becoming more and more interesting.

Compared to simply surviving, this state seems to be what Xie Qin really wants.

After asking for directions, Chen Anran took Xie Qin to the nearest parking lot to her apartment building. The main road outside was the only way back to the apartment. As long as she waited there on time, she would be able to meet the so-called Lu Chaoyun.

With Lu Chaoyun around, Xie Qin didn't plan to leave so soon, so he didn't rush to deal with the mutated plants. He parked a huge trailer RV in the parking lot and rested comfortably for the whole afternoon.

The alarm clock rang ten minutes before the end of the research institute's get off work day. Xie Qin rubbed his eyelids, made a cup of coffee, and sat at the dining table in front of the window, seemingly looking at the scenery, but his eyes fell on the road.

Soon, many people passed by the road outside the parking lot. All of them were either wearing white coats or holding white coats in their hands. They gathered in groups of three or five to chat.

Xie Qin counted patiently. In just five or six minutes, more than forty scientific researchers passed by.

This does not include the second group of people who are leaving get off work as Chen Anran mentioned, and there are also people on duty at various research institutes, so there should be hundreds of researchers just coming here to study plants.

In his previous life, he had spent two years at the First Base, where there were only about 30 people. This meant that what he knew about the First Base was just the tip of the iceberg.

What she was sure of was that neither Du Mingxuan nor Lu Chaoyun in this life were reincarnated from the previous life, which also meant that such preparations had already been made in the First Base in the previous life. The First Base was not as simple as it seemed.

A simple private base, just slightly more powerful. This was his opinion of the First Base before today. After seeing an identical Lu Chaoyun, Xie Qin overturned all his previous ideas.

Lu Chaoyun was walking alone, slowly with his hands behind his back. He had a familiar face and age, and this person was also a clone.

The walking posture, figure, and dress were exactly the same as the Lu Chaoyun in his memory, and also exactly the same as the Lu Chaoyun he killed.

Just this detail made Xie Qin feel creepy. The clones were essentially ordinary people, independent people, but their brains, intelligence, and behavior were all like the same person. A terrifying and unrealistic idea jumped into Xie Qin's mind.

That is... these people seem to share one brain!

What about memory? Would the person on the road also know that she was the one who killed the other him?

While Xie Qin was thinking, she didn't notice that Lu Chaoyun had already looked at her. His eyes were sharp, and he was smiling. That smile clearly told Xie Qin that he knew her!

Lu Chaoyun obviously didn't have any special abilities, so how could he notice him when he was nearly 30 meters away from him? Looking out of the corner of his eye, Xie Qin realized that many people were looking at him.

Shit! Xie Qin probably thought that her appearance must have attracted the attention of someone, and then that person began to signal the people around them to look, and gradually most people were looking at her, including the curious Lu Chaoyun.

No one moved forward, but Lu Chaoyun was different. He walked towards Xie Qin with a smile on his face.

Everyone else was very surprised, but no one dared to talk to Lu Chaoyun. They just watched Lu Chaoyun go towards Xie Qin.

Xie Qin was still sitting at the dining table and did not hide. Although she was nervous, her eyes were always fixed on Lu Chaoyun who was getting closer and closer.

Lu Chaoyun stood outside the window. At 1.8 meters tall, he was not short. He could see Xie Qin clearly by tilting his head slightly. He raised his hand and knocked on the window to signal Xie Qin to open it.

Xie Qin pushed open the window from the inside and looked at Lu Chaoyun indifferently, without fear or surprise, only a slight curiosity.

"Why aren't you surprised that I, whom you killed, am still here?"

"If I'm surprised, will you tell me why?"

"Then will you tell me why you killed me?"

"Of course. Your people hurt my teammates. I heard that you had them knock them unconscious so that you could take the crystal core. So you naturally become the culprit in my eyes. Who else should I kill if not you?"

"Hmm~ a good reason."

"So will you tell me why you're still alive?"

Lu Chaoyun smiled and said something in a mean way.

"No."

Xie Qin frowned, but did not say the threat. Sometimes threats and interrogation do not seem to be a good idea, especially for people like Lu Chaoyun, who are not afraid of death. If a person is not afraid of death, then nothing can threaten him.

[Xiaobao, is there any way to detect Lu Chaoyun's favorability towards me? ]

[Of course! After the task system is upgraded, you can purchase the character favorability detector on your own. ]

【That’s good. Buy me one. 】

[Received! Master~ Spend 2000 points to purchase a single character favorability detector. Do you want to use it directly on Lu Chaoyun? ]

【Use directly. 】

[Ding ding ding~ Use completed, system monitoring, Lu Chaoyun's current favorability towards you is 30]

[So low? ? But then again, why didn't you buy this thing when you were monitoring Qin Zhang before? ]

[Master~Didn’t I tell you? If the non-base residents’ favorability towards you exceeds 80, it will automatically enter the record system~]

[Okay, I understand. . ]

With the detection system, Xie Qin began to test Lu Chaoyun's personal preferences. Recalling Lu Chaoyun's personality quirks in his previous life, Xie Qin quickly selected the personality he needed to play. After the two of them were silent and stared at each other for nearly a minute, Xie Qin suddenly spoke.

"But I'm so curious about you." Xie Qin raised her hands to support her face, moved closer to the window, and spoke in a slightly gentler voice.

A breathtakingly beautiful face slowly approached. Lu Chaoyun was still a little uncomfortable and didn't react immediately before his nose was filled with the gentle jasmine scent of a woman.

From this close, looking at this person carefully, he is really perfect, like a work of art without any flaws. I didn't get a good look when he was killed last time. It turns out that he was killed by such a beautiful person.

He was not someone who would be attracted by beautiful things, but he could appreciate beauty, so the two of them were silent for a few seconds, and Lu Chaoyun stared at Xie Qin's face and observed it carefully, just like appreciating a beautiful thing.

[Ding ding ding~ The target person’s current favorability is 40.]

The score went up, which made Xie Qin feel that Lu Chaoyun was interested in her. After all, her flawless face might attract women, but it would definitely attract men.

"What are you staring at me for?"

"Because you are beautiful, you come here just to show me, right?" Lu Chaoyun smiled.

"You! You are talking nonsense! I, I just want to express my doubts! You are misinterpreting my meaning like this. If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time!" Xie Qin stared at Lu Chaoyun angrily and bit his lower lip angrily, showing his anger.

But she knew the limits well, and in Lu Chaoyun's eyes her every move became lively, a vivid and interesting beauty.

[Ding ding ding~ The target person’s current favorability is 45.]

With just two sentences of performance, the favorability level increased by 15 points. Xie Qin saw that there was hope!
