I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Chapter 245 Awakening

Qi Yan felt a little nervous. This was the most concentrated antidote he could prepare, and he didn't know if it would be useful to the current "Huo Xiu Ze".

At this time, Huo Xiu Ze slowly raised his head. The black substance on his face had disappeared completely, but Qi Yan was still not sure whether he had regained consciousness.

Huo Xiu Ze's eyes were a little confused. He stared blankly at the ruins in front of him and murmured, "Why am I here?"

"Have you forgotten what happened just now?" Huo Linyuan asked tentatively.

Hearing this, Huo Xiu Ze raised his head and noticed Huo Linyuan and the other person.

"Xiao Yuan?"

The surprise in his eyes was so obvious that it didn't look like he was pretending.

Then, Huo Xiu Ze stood up from the ground, a little excited: "Where is your grandfather? Quick, stop him, don't let him go to Nirvana Star."

He took two steps forward excitedly. Seeing this, Huo Linyuan blocked Qi Yan behind him and frowned slightly.

Seeing Huo Linyuan's defense, Huo Xiu Ze suddenly froze in place, then covered his face dejectedly: "I know you blame me for being away from home for many years, and I'm not a good father..."

But then he immediately shook his head: "No, that's not right, now is not the time to talk about this."

"Take me to your grandfather, quickly! We have to stop him, otherwise the whole army will be in danger!"

As he said this, he was about to come to Lahu Linyuan.

Qi Yan, who had been on guard the whole time, immediately released Chou Chou upon seeing this.

Chouchou worked hard to grow to the thickness of a wrist, then twisted into a circle and stood across in front of them, majestically blocking Huo Xiu Ze's steps.

As soon as he saw Chou Chou, Huo Xiu Ze immediately frowned and said sternly: "What is this thing, and... who are you?"

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Qi Yan behind Huo Linyuan with scrutiny.

Anyone can see that Huo Xiu Ze is obviously abnormal now. He seems to have forgotten what happened during this period of time and his memory is confused.

This situation usually occurs when a person chooses to block out painful memories in order to escape reality after being greatly stimulated.

Huo Linyuan "touched" Qi Yan's head with his mental power, signaling him to put Chou Chou away.

Qi Yan was a little worried, but after hesitating for a moment, she still did as she was told.

In order to confirm his guess, Huo Linyuan directly told Huo Xiu Ze that Huo Guang was dead: "Grandpa is dead."

Hearing this, Huo Xiu Ze froze in place for a moment. After a moment, his eyes were red and bloodshot: "Who did it? Who!?"

Qi Yan saw that the sadness in his eyes did not seem fake, and for a moment she felt a little shaken.

But Huo Linyuan just looked at it coldly and continued to provoke: "The acid rain lasted for three whole years. When they found it, only a pile of bones was left."

Huo Xiu Ze took two steps back in disbelief and finally fell down on the ruins.

Huo Linyuan looked at him straight and asked in a terrifyingly cold voice: "The last person he saw before he died was you, so tell me, who killed him?"

Although he had not seen the mecha recording video, Huo Linyuan had basically confirmed his guess based on what Huo Xiu Ze said just now.

At this moment, Huo Xiu Ze widened his eyes, and countless images flashed through his mind.

He covered his head in pain and banged it against the gravel beside him again and again, as if trying to drive the images out of his mind.

But those images were like maggots attached to one's bones; the more one tried to clear them away, the clearer they became.

Soon his forehead became a bloody mess, and Qi Yan felt a little bit sorry for it.

After a while, Huo Xiu Ze stopped his self-harming behavior, but instead covered his cheeks and roared as if to vent.

Seeing his reaction, Huo Linyuan knew that he had remembered, so he asked, "Where is Si Lin?"

Hearing these two words, Huo Xiu Ze stopped roaring instantly, his eyes became numb and dull, and he murmured: "A Lin..."

Tears mixed with blood slid down from the corners of his eyes, making it hard to tell whether it was blood from his forehead or tears of blood.

He had remembered it all, the pain of killing his closest and dearest love with his own hands, like a knife, cutting him into pieces over and over again.

Huo Linyuan looked at the pain deep in his eyes and had a bad feeling in his heart. His tone became heavier: "What happened on Nirvana Star back then?"

"My uncle concealed the truth in order to protect you, but what did you do to him?"

Qi Yan rarely saw Huo Linyuan showing obvious emotional fluctuations in public, so she couldn't help but step forward and hold his hand.

Huo Linyuan noticed his worry and slowly calmed down.

At this moment, there was a sudden roar outside, and then they received a message from Wen Yi. It turned out that the transformers within the villain army launched an attack.

However, none of the three people in the room had time to pay attention to what was happening outside.

After a while, Huo Xiuze's voice slowly sounded:

"More than a hundred years ago, your mother and I accidentally entered a ruin. After we returned, all the soldiers who went with us were infected with an ancient bacteria."

Qi Yan was shocked and had a horrible guess in her mind.

Then, Huo Xiuze's words immediately confirmed his guess: "This archaea is the mutated virus you are tracking now."

"The soldiers who were infected at the beginning all mutated after returning, so we gradually realized the seriousness of the matter."

"In order to avoid causing panic, your mother and I have unanimously decided to handle this matter in secret. The only people who know about this matter, besides the people who went with us at the time, are a few of your mother's confidants."

"But the condition of the infected soldiers became worse and worse. In order to prevent the situation from getting out of control, we had to destroy the ruins and put it in a restricted area."

"Anything that might have been contaminated with archaea was also destroyed at the time. In the end, except for the samples sealed in the laboratory, all archaea were completely wiped out."

"We originally thought that we could survive this crisis, but we didn't expect that the pharmacist accompanying the army would steal the remaining samples."

"Your mother and I have been tracking the whereabouts of the pharmacist and looking for a solution."

"But a hundred years have passed. Not only has the other party disappeared without a trace, but no abnormal cases related to archaea have appeared again."

"I thought the pharmacist had died from the infection with the archaea, but after your mother passed away, I accidentally discovered that the symptoms were exactly the same as those of the soldiers who were infected at the time..."

It was not until then that Huo Xiu Ze realized that the other party had not given up, but had been conducting experiments in secret.

For this reason, he resolutely left the army and began to investigate the experimental organization.

Huo Guang was very angry about his decision, but in order to keep his promise to Huo Xuanshuang, Huo Xiu Ze did not tell him the truth.

Later, he found his good friend Lin Ping. After the two of them investigated, they finally discovered that the pharmacist wanted to control the entire army by controlling senior military officials.

In order to destroy each other's conspiracy, the two took a series of measures, but who would have thought that the pharmacist who was forced into a desperate situation would actually protest against them in turn.

Then the Lin Che siblings were kidnapped. Because of this incident, Lin Ping and Huo Xiu Ze had a big fight and finally parted ways unhappily.
