Shen Wang took out his phone and started to search for the 3S-level pollutant [Tyrant].

He found nothing, which doesn’t mean that the pollutant doesn’t exist, but that Shen Wang doesn’t have enough authority to access to these informations.

He looked at the big [Top Secret File] on the screen and fell into deep thought.

“I also learned about this only after awakening my ability. I can see the future.” Lan said, “I was investigating the past while dealing with the Academy of Sciences. Meanwhile I would also look for your news, but I was locked up in the Academy for too long and ended up on the blacklist of Central City. I didn’t know your name.”

“But I still found you.” Lan smiled, “That’s great.”

Shen Wang looked at Lan, and after a long time he spoke, “Will I also have two abilities?”

“Of course.” Lan nodded, his tone was cold enough to show how disgusted he was, “The Academy of Sciences is a group of idiots. They think that my ability was obtained thanks to them. They don’t know that this is our specialness. We are born with two abilities.”

“One day you will awaken your second ability.”

Shen Wang was not excited about this. He was a casual person. It was good to have abilities, but it was okay if he didn’t. Anyway, he could plunder other pollutants.

He was more curious about another thing rather than this.

“You didn’t find our parents?”

“No, I went back to our old home and walked through the entire Zero Pollution Site, but there was no trace of our parents.” Lan shook his head, but he wasn’t worried, “I don’t think anything will happen to our parents. They may be just trapped somewhere and can’t leave.”

He lowered his head, with a dark look in his eyes.

“If I didn’t hate the Academy of Sciences so much, I might’ve stayed and looked for clues.”

“But no, the Academy is so disgusting, I couldn’t stay there and leave the Academy intact.”

Of course, Lan can’t be blamed for this, after all, he is a victim of the Academy of Sciences. Shen Wang was lucky that he wasn’t discovered by the Academy of Sciences. Now a new brother appeared. The new brother was once caught by the Academy of Sciences and subjected to experiments for ten years. Now he has become stronger and is crazy about revenge.

This is very reasonable, and no one can say that he did something wrong.

Shen Wang has already started to believe a little in his words. He sat on the sofa and thought about it, “I have another question.”

Lan nodded and motioned for him to ask.

“Is there any way to relieve this disease?” Shen Wang was referring to his own ‘genetic disease’. “I need to control the onset period, so that it doesn’t suddenly occur when I and others are on a mission.”

“Oh.” Lan was silent for a moment. “I don’t actually recommend that you delay it, because it is a manifestation of your growth. The faster it comes, the faster your ability grows. When you eat enough, it will stagnate and enter the next stage of upgrade.”

“But sometimes it activates as if stimulated.”

Lan said: “When you encounter a high-level pollutant and you judge that the other party does not threaten you, the body will spontaneously enter the eating state.”

“You should pay attention to this.”

Shen Wang thought about the possibility of this happening, and in the end he thought it was not possible. After all, who would think that a high-level pollutant is harmless?

At this moment, Shen Wang’s communicator rang with a ding-dong sound.

He took out his mobile phone and saw that it was a notification sent to him by [Polaris].

[The Academy of Sciences sent an urgent request for help. We need to go out of the city for rescue. All members will gather at the Pollution Control Center at 8 o’clock tomorrow morning. ]

“Emergency request from the Academy of Sciences?”

Shen Wang subconsciously turned his head to look at Lan next to him.

“They still have the energy to ask for help.” Lan’s eyes were extremely unfriendly, “It seems that I still showed mercy.”

Shen Wang:…

Haha, Polaris sent a message to him to prepare to go out of the city for rescue, but the culprit who caused the emergency was right next to him.

Now Shen Wang gradually started to understand that he was playing a spy game.

The next day, Shen Wang came to the Pollution Control Center early in the morning as notified.

Lan left yesterday. After talking with Shen Wang, he said that he felt to have regained a bottom line in his heart instantly. He was very happy and wanted to stay with Shen Wang for a while, but he still had his own things to do.

He wanted to find his missing parents, continue to snipe the Academy of Sciences, and find the truth of what happened that year. As long as Shen Wang was there, all of this would no longer be meaningless.

His being so sincere made Shen Wang a little unable to adapt.

Finally, Shen Wang sent his brother away and quietly pretended that nothing had happened.

Before leaving, he finally wore the combat uniform of the dispatch team for the first time. The black clothes made him look tall and serious.

But when he smiled, this seriousness would immediately disappear, and he would become a harmless and calm person again.

At the entrance of the Pollution Control Center, Zhou Xiangzhe leaned against the wall, his head lowered while his white hair hung on his shoulders. The people around him looked at him cautiously, and no one dared to make a sound.

Shen Wang saw him when he walked by.

Shen Wang felt guilty for a moment when he saw Zhou Xiangzhe. After all, he had just tricked him in Qianzhen Community, and then after he came out, he found that his brother was the culprit who caused the attack’s towards the Academy.

Of course, Shen Wang was not guilty, and the so-called guilty conscience only made him pause for a moment.

But he didn’t expect that his pause would be noticed by Zhou Xiangzhe. The latter opened his eyes and said, “I’m here.”

“Good morning, Captain Zhou.” Shen Wang could only greet him politely.

“Just right on time, I have something for you.”

Zhou Xiangzhe put his hand in his pocket taking out a small box and motioned Shen Wang to stretch out his hand. Zhou Xiangzhe put the thing in his palm under Shen Wang’s puzzled gaze.

Shen Wang looked at the small box strangely, “A new weapon?”

“No.” Zhou Xiangzhe stared into Shen Wang’s eyes, “You don’t like suppressors, but you should like this thing. You can open it and take a look.”

Shen Wang raised his eyebrows slightly. Since Zhou Xiangzhe said so, he didn’t wait. He opened the box and unexpectedly found that it was a new pair of headphones. The style was strange but exquisite. It seemed to be a custom-made one.

Zhou Xiangzhe pointed to his ears and motioned him to put it on.

“I copied all the songs I could find in it, including the ones Polaris got when we went out to search before.” Zhou Xiangzhe said calmly: “But this headset is a communicator for the team to notify each other. I added this function just for you. Don’t tell others.”

Shen Wang looked up in surprise.

The music coming from his ears was gentle and soft, and the female voice was melodious. It was indeed a song that Shen Wang had never heard before. They belonged to a corner of the brilliant glory of the old times. Even listening to this music, one could imagine how people in the old times who hadn’t experienced the end of the world lived and worked in peace and contentment.

He remembers that Zhou Xiangzhe had said before that he had music tapes at home, but he didn’t expect Zhou Xiangzhe to really give them to him.

Zhou Xiangzhe was a good person!

“Thank you, I like it very much.” Shen Wang thanked him sincerely.

Zhou Xiangzhe’s eyebrows softened a little, as if he was relieved.

He said, “As long as you like it.”

Zhou Xiangzhe really didn’t have many friends, Ming Guang was an exception. He didn’t know how to get along with people. He could only be kind to others silently. He did this when he was a child, and he continued to do this when he grew up.

He remembered that Shen Wang liked to listen to songs, so he always subconsciously collected these things. After collecting them for so many years, he sometimes even wondered if Shen Wang would really like them?

Now that he gave the gift and Shen Wang liked it very much.

He finally felt relieved.

Shen Wang really couldn’t detect Zhou Xiangzhe’s complicated mood. He smiled and invited Zhou Xiangzhe to go in with him while listening to the music.

After receiving a gift that suits his likes, he doesn’t mind being gentle to the person who gave the gift.

Soon it was eight o’clock, and all the members of Polaris were present.

The Academy of Sciences sent a total of three emergency requests for help, in three directions of the laboratory, and each request indicated that they were carrying important information about the experiment.

They all knew that this was the keyword to say to convince people to save their lives. Whether they really had important information or not, they would still say so. Everyone present knew about this, but they had no time to distinguish who was telling the truth and who the false. The Academy of Sciences asked them to take back the important experimental data.

In the end, Polaris could only be divided into three teams to search for survivors in three different places.

This time, Shen Wang and Zhou Xiangzhe were assigned together, and a female team member named “Lily” was added. The three people cooperated with the Pollution Control Center to go to the most dangerous location of this rescue: the stronghold of level A pollutant [Hundred Eyes].

This is the location where the researchers who are most likely to carry important information were located.

/

Outside the city wall is a familiar place for Shen Wang. After all, he has been wandering outside for three years and has become very skilled in identifying pollutant entrenched points.

For example, the location that looks wrong at first glance.

The gallery standing among the broken walls and ruins around it is as complete and brilliant as an art church. It has vines climbing on the building, and there are tender yellow flowers blooming regardless of the season. The morning dew hangs on the branches and leaves, and all of this looks extremely lively.

This is not the kind of landscape one could see at the end of the world at all.

The combat personnel quickly arranged machines around, and various detection lights were turned on. No one felt that they were overestimating the danger. They stared at the building as if they were staring at some terrible monster.

After debugging all the data and confirming all the content, the inspector nodded to Zhou Xiangzhe.

“Okay.” Zhou Xiangzhe put on his pollution suppressor, “Operators will now enter.”

The interior and exterior of the building are not much different. There was a long and clean corridor. The snow-white walls are covered with paintings. There is a light on each painting. The lights are on, and the incandescent light shines on the glass frame of the paintings to form a cold eerie feeling on onlookers.

What makes people uncomfortable is that each painting is a self-portrait of human beings. The men and women in the self-portraits use warm and bright colors, but they are also filled with eyes.

There are eyes in the eye sockets, eyes in the mouth, and even eyes in the temples. I wonder if the skin hidden under the clothes is also all composed of eyes.

“So many eyes.” Shen Wang frowned and looked at these paintings, “Distortion pollution?”

“It is said that the A027 pollutant [Hundred Eyes] was a painter before it became a pollutant.” A female voice sounded beside Shen Wang, and Shen Wang turned around and saw Lily.

Lily’s appearance is not extremely beautiful, but she is quite gentle, and she’s the type that becomes more attractive the more you look at her.

She nodded to Shen Wang and continued, “She was a very successful painter. She came from a famous family and her teacher was also famous. She became famous at a young age and could sell a painting for a sky-high price. But just when she was at the peak of her career, a car accident took away her eyes.”

“The most precious things for a painter are the hands that hold the brush and the eyes that see the world.”

“She went crazy after that and remained crazy until the end of the world. After she was polluted, the lost eyes grew back again, and then a lot more eyes grew on her.”

Shen Wang asked a question, “Then how was she observed? It’s difficult for an ordinary person to survive after observing level A pollutants.”

“You are right.” Lily sighed helplessly, “It was several dispatch team members who observed [Hundred Eyes], and one of them sent a message to the Pollution Control Center during their observation.”

She pressed the communicator on her ear, and the next moment Shen Wang heard a strange male voice.

This was the message sent back by the dispatch team member right before he died.

“I am Hu Ying, a member of the dispatch team [Half Dream], a C-level mutant. On the way back, the team observed a strange place with electric lights and paintings hanging in the place. The paintings were full of eyes. We judged that this is a base of an unknown pollutant.”

“In order to determine the situation, the captain took us into this place, but as soon as we entered, our teammates immediately distorted and turned into shapeless pollutants with eyes all over their bodies.”

“The captain immediately realized that this was not a place we could handle, but when he tried to leave, he could no longer find the door.”

“They turned into paintings, paintings full of eyes!”

“The captain has many eyes! I see that I have many eyes in the captain’s eyes, and those eyes are all smiling…”

“A-level! The painting is signed [Hundred Eyes]!”

The voice stopped abruptly, and Shen Wang looked at the painting in front of him again, inexplicably feeling a weird and disgusting feeling.

Lily whispered: “I don’t know how many of these paintings are human beings who have been polluted.”
