The End of the World: Start with a Book, All Superpowers Depend on Reading

"Why hasn't Brother Mingyang come back yet?"

In the laboratory on the sixth floor, Su Yu muttered to himself with a worried look on his face.

"You are still worried about him. With his shrewdness, how could anything go wrong?"

Li Yuchan smiled when he heard this, and tossed a flying sword in his hand.

"Just now, an armed helicopter landed, and there were gunshots behind. Could it be that the army is coming to rescue?"

Su Yu thought of the roar of the plane just now. The teaching building where the plane landed could not be seen from the window here.

"With just such a plane, how many soldiers can there be, and how many people can it save?"

Mu Ningxue stared out the window, her eyes flickering.

There was something she didn't say, just a plane came, it is very likely just to rescue a certain person...

"Who cares, what does Lao Wang want to do, looking for a laboratory, looking for lotus seeds, and staying here for two days, he won't want to do anything to the mutant wisteria flower, right?" Li Yuchan asked doubtfully.

"I don't know, Brother Mingyang must have his reasons, let's just do it!"

Su Yu shook her head. Although she was also puzzled, she believed that Wang Mingyang must have his reasons.

"Wang Mingyang doesn't seem like a person who acts impulsively. There must be something he needs here. We just need to take care of it."

Mu Ningxue turned around and said calmly.

"If there is really something he needs here, it is probably only the lotus on the rooftop..."

Li Yuchan stroked his chin. He hadn't shaved for a few days, and his stubble had grown a lot.

"Should we go to the rooftop to guard it? There was a plane just now, don't let others get there first."

"I think it's okay. What do you think, Miss Mu?"

"Let's go. This laboratory is just a place to stay. Let's go to the entrance of the rooftop and take a look."

Mu Ningxue turned and walked out the door. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Wang Mingyang coming up from the stairs.

"Where are you going?"

Seeing the three people coming out, Wang Mingyang asked curiously.

"You haven't come back yet. There are planes and guns outside. We want to go to the rooftop to take a look." Li Yuchan shrugged and replied.

"We don't need to go to the rooftop for now. Let's talk about it tomorrow!" Wang Mingyang waved his hand, looking indifferent.

Those lotuses will not have any special features before they mature. Only when the spiritual energy bursts on the seventh night will they mature quickly and burst out with shocking beams.

"Then what should we do next?"

"Let's stay here today. There are soldiers downstairs. They will probably leave soon."

"Soldiers? Is that plane really from the army?"

Wang Mingyang walked into the house and found a chair to sit down.

"Indeed, we are here to find Professor Gu Zemin."

"Who is Professor Gu Zemin?" The three of them were puzzled. They had never heard of this name.

"It's Dai Bin's mentor. I didn't bother to ask his name before. I didn't expect that he was the same person those soldiers were looking for."

Wang Mingyang spread his hands. This was really a coincidence.

"These soldiers came just to find him?" Mu Ningxue frowned, feeling a little disappointed, but also expected.

"Well, this old man is an expert in life sciences. I guess those big shots want him to study zombies, mutants and the like."

"Then why did you look for him?"

Li Yuchan asked the question that the three of them were concerned about. It seemed that Wang Mingyang came to Yunnan University because of this.

"Remember that second-order mutant rat king... It has something to do with this old man."

"No way! Are they related?!"

Su Yu and Mu Ningxue were shocked. How could this scientist be related to that mutant creature?

"Hey, hey, hey... What second-order mutant rat king? What are you talking about? I don't understand it at all."

Li Yuchan shouted. The three of them were just playing dumb in front of him. He was completely confused.

Su Yu covered his mouth and smiled, and quickly explained to him what happened on the night of the rat tide.

After a while, during Su Yu's narration, Li Yuchan began to be stunned and looked at Mu Ningxue and Wang Mingyang in disbelief.

"Supreme Taiyi Du'e Tianzun... this mutant mouse has become a spirit!"

After receiving the confirmation from the two, Li Yuchan couldn't help but recite the title, which was a little hard to accept.

"It's almost the same. That Gu Zemin is doing an experiment on the brain."

Wang Mingyang nodded and calmly explained the experiment done by Gu Zemin.

"This... shouldn't be allowed in the biological academic community? This experiment is against ethics and morality." Mu Ningxue hesitated.

"Strictly speaking, it's not against human ethics. After all, it's just a mouse. If it was a monkey or a chimpanzee, it would definitely not be allowed." Wang Mingyang shook his head. Gu Zemin really didn't cross the line in this regard.

"However, the old man didn't expect that the advent of the end of the world caused the mutation of the experimental mouse, and the mouse escaped directly from the laboratory."

"This can't determine whether the second-level mouse we encountered is the one that escaped from the laboratory?" Mu Ningxue was obviously a little unconvinced.

"It's most likely that one. Apart from that, have you ever seen a smart mutant rat similar to a human?"

"This... no."

Wang Mingyang's question left Mu Ningxue speechless.

On the night when the rat tide broke out, at least tens of thousands of mutant rats appeared, but not one of them showed unique wisdom.

"Don't worry about it for now. If you meet it next time, just try to kill it."

Wang Mingyang said lightly. Now his comprehensive strength is completely superior to that second-level rat. If he meets it again, he is fully confident that he can kill it.

"Are those soldiers still here?"

"No, it will probably be a while. There is still a passage in the underground research room that has not been searched. Judging from the nature of soldiers, if they find the target, they will probably check it out. After all, the research room is full of scientific researchers."

As Wang Mingyang spoke, he put his hand into his backpack to reveal a book, and just leaned on the chair to read through it.

The other three looked at each other in confusion. Wang Mingyang's habit was really good.

Su Yu and Mu Ningxue also took their backpacks and dug out some food and water to make simple replenishments.

Li Yuchan stepped forward, grabbed a few packs of snacks from his backpack and spread them on the experimental table.

In the underground research room, Gong Zhan walked out of the laboratory and several soldiers approached him outside the door.

"Captain, why didn't Professor Gu come out? Why don't we leave?" Xiao Yu asked in a low voice.

Gong Zhan shook his head and sighed softly: "We can't leave yet. Professor Gu needs those experimental instruments. Xiao Yu, you and Chen Zhong go outside first, contact the headquarters and arrange for some people to come over and transport these experimental instruments." Go to the headquarters, otherwise this stubborn old man probably won’t leave.”

"This... is too dangerous. There are so many zombies. Can you discuss it with Professor Gu and we can move it later." Xiao Yu hesitated and turned to look at the laboratory.

"Yes, yes! Comrade, take us back to the shelter first...it's too dangerous here!"

"That's right, the experimental equipment won't break here. Just find a chance to pick it up later. Safety is the most important thing!"

The two middle-aged researchers on the side heard this and immediately whispered advice.

Gong Zhan rolled his eyes and said angrily: "It's not my fault. If you have the ability, go and persuade Professor Gu. If he says to leave, we will leave right away!"

"this……"

The two of them immediately choked. As assistants, they knew Gu Zemin's stubbornness all too well.

As long as it was decided by Gu Zemin, no one could change it, not even the president of Dian University.

The two of them could only shake their heads in disappointment and sit helplessly in the corner.

"Go ahead and contact the headquarters as soon as possible. The sooner someone comes, the sooner we can leave." Gong Zhan had no choice but to wave to Xiao Yu.

"Yes! Captain."

Xiao Yu and Chen Zhong stood at attention, saluted, and quickly turned and left.

"You guys stay here while I go check out the other passage. There may be survivors."

After the two left, Gong Zhan gave instructions to the other three soldiers and walked towards another passage.
