Chapter 452 What’s going on?
"Li Qiang!" Chu Tian shouted in a hoarse voice.
Li Qiang didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.
Chu Tian rushed over and grabbed Li Qiang's arm, "You are not dead? Is it really you?" His voice trembled and was full of disbelief.
Li Qiang nodded gently, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
"What's the matter? You're not..." Chu Tian couldn't continue, he didn't know how to ask.
"I'm lucky," Li Qiang smiled, with a hint of bitterness in his smile, "It's not that easy to die."
"But, he clearly said..." Chu Tian pointed in the direction of the research institute.
"He lied to you," Li Qiang interrupted him, "He just wanted to make you collapse."
"Why is he doing this?" Chu Tian was puzzled.
"Because he's afraid of you," Li Qiang's eyes turned cold, "He knows that you are the only one who can stop him."
Chu Tian was stunned. He never thought that he would be the key to stop that man. He always thought that he was just an ordinary person, a poor guy teased by fate.
"Now, what should we do?" Chu Tian asked.
Li Qiang took a deep breath and looked at the brightly lit city in the distance. "Stop him and save the world."
"But how can we stop him?" Chu Tian felt powerless. "He has the 'Genesis' device, which can change the rules of the world."
Li Qiang smiled and said, "Although the Genesis device is powerful, it is not invincible. It has a fatal weakness."
"What weakness?" Chu Tian asked anxiously.
"It needs a stable energy source," Li Qiang explained, "and this energy source is..." He paused and looked at Chu Tian, "your blood."
Chu Tian was stunned, "My blood?"
"That's right," Li Qiang nodded, "Your bloodline is special and has powerful energy that can activate the 'Genesis' device."
Chu Tian was silent. He didn't expect that he would be the key to the "Genesis" plan. He felt like a chess piece, being manipulated by fate.
"That's why he told you that you are his son," Li Qiang continued, "He needs your cooperation."
"I won't cooperate!" Chu Tian said firmly, "I won't let him destroy the world!"
"I know," Li Qiang patted his shoulder, "So, we need to find a way to stop him."
"But, what should we do?" Chu Tian still felt confused.
"I know a place," Li Qiang said, "that may have the answers we need."
"Where?"
"The original designer of the Genesis Project, a scientist named Dr. Wu, lives in seclusion in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city."
"Dr. Wu?" Chu Tian seemed to have heard this name somewhere.
"Yes, it's him," Li Qiang said with certainty, "He knows everything about the Genesis device, including its weaknesses."
"Let's go now!" Chu Tian said impatiently.
Li Qiang shook his head. "It's too late now. We need to wait until dawn."
"But……"
"Believe me," Li Qiang interrupted him, "We must be careful and not act rashly."
Chu Tian nodded, he knew Li Qiang was right.
They found an abandoned warehouse to temporarily avoid the wind and rain. The warehouse was cold and damp, and the air was filled with the smell of mold. Chu Tian sat down against the wall, his mind in a mess.
He was relieved that Li Qiang was alive, but at the same time, he was more worried. He knew that they were about to face a more dangerous challenge.
"The wounds on your body..." Chu Tian noticed that Li Qiang's face was pale, his breath was weak, and there seemed to be blood on his body.
"It's just a minor injury," Li Qiang smiled, "It's nothing serious."
Chu Tian knew that he was just holding on, so he tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes and helped Li Qiang bandage his wound.
"Thank you," Li Qiang said.
Chu Tian shook his head, "We are brothers."
The warehouse was very quiet, with only the sound of rain hitting the roof. Chu Tian looked at Li Qiang and suddenly asked, "When did you escape?"
Li Qiang was silent for a moment, then said, "Before you go in."
"Then why didn't you come out to stop me?" Chu Tian was puzzled.
Li Qiang gave a bitter smile. "I was discovered and seriously injured. I couldn't stop him at all. I could only hide and wait for an opportunity."
"Then why did you show up now?"
"Because I know," Li Qiang's eyes became firm, "you will definitely come out."
Chu Tian was stunned. He didn't expect Li Qiang to have such firm trust in him.
"Why do you trust me so much?" Chu Tian asked.
Li Qiang smiled and said, "Because you are my brother."
Suddenly, the door of the warehouse opened and a dark shadow appeared at the door.
"Who?" Chu Tian and Li Qiang became alert at the same time.
The shadow took another step forward. With the weak light, Chu Tian saw the face of the person coming and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Qin Huairu?"
Qin Huairu? Li Qiang was also stunned. He didn't expect to see her here.
"You... why are you here?" Qin Huairu's voice trembled a little and her eyes flickered.
"We..." Chu Tian was about to explain but was interrupted by Li Qiang.
"It's a long story," Li Qiang said, "What about you? Why are you here so late?"
Qin Huairu stammered, "I...I came to find something."
Chu Tian and Li Qiang looked at each other and felt that Qin Huairu's explanation was a bit far-fetched. There was nothing in this abandoned warehouse except junk. What could she find?
"What is it?" Chu Tian asked.
Qin Huairu's eyes dodged, not daring to look directly at Chu Tian, "Some...some old clothes."
Chu Tian noticed that Qin Huairu was holding a package tightly in her hand. The package was bulging and he didn't know what was inside.
"Old clothes?" Li Qiang sneered, "I don't think they look like that."
Qin Huairu's face changed, "You...what do you want to do?"
"We don't want to do anything," Chu Tian said, "We just want to know the truth."
"What truth?" Qin Huairu's voice became smaller and smaller.
"What are you hiding?" Chu Tian pressed on.
Qin Huairu took a step back and leaned against the wall, her eyes filled with fear.
Just then, footsteps were heard outside the warehouse.
"Someone is coming!" Li Qiang said in a low voice.
Chu Tian and Li Qiang immediately became alert. They didn't know who the person was, or whether he was an enemy or a friend.
Qin Huairu's face turned even paler, as if she had a premonition of something.
The footsteps were getting closer, the door of the warehouse was opened again, and a figure appeared at the door.
"Xu Damao?" Chu Tian looked at the person who came in surprise.
Xu Damao walked in with a smug look on his face, "You didn't expect it, I found you."
"You followed me?" Qin Huairu glared at Xu Damao angrily.
Xu Damao chuckled, "Yes, I am following you. I knew you were sneaking around lately, there must be something fishy going on."
