2024-10-29 19:42:56"How have you managed to survive here for the past decade?" Sam asked incredulously.
"Almost everyone here was sent to this place when they were young; we spent our childhood in a confined space, so we don't know much about the outside world. That's why we can afford to live such a caged existence, but..." Gabriel smiled bitterly, and paused before sighing. "But we're still humans, we still desire a normal life. Deep down in our hearts is the hope to return to civilization, to touch real grass and feel real wind. This desire isn't visceral enough to distract us from our research, but it would still affect us from time to time. And that desire would always be there as long as we're trapped here. Most of us can still tolerate this kind of life for now, but I can see the breaking point coming."Sam was instantly silenced; he could feel the frustration in Gabriel's words—after all, being trapped in such an emotionless place for a lifetime wouldn't be much better than r

"Is that Walter Roberts?" Sam choked out."Yes, that's how he really looks. What you saw wasn't the real him, just a simulated illusion because he despises his own appearance," Gabriel nodded."No wonder he hated Edward so much!" Sam exclaimed as understanding dawned.Walter Roberts probably saw the youth and good looks he had lost in Edward. On the other hand, Liana and Edward caught a glimpse of Walter Roberts' twisted nature, and one of the reasons he chose to live here was probably to escape reality."Are you researching memory cells and DNA modification?" Liana gently asked Gabriel."How did you know?" Gabriel was shocked."I'll tell you in detail when the opportunity arises." Liana didn't want to get into it then because it wasn't something that could be explained in broad strokes, and Gabriel nodded in understanding."You're right, we've been researching those two technologies, and we've made some progress, but we haven't achieved real s

"There really are so many different types of food, and they're all so delicious?" Gabriel gasped in disbelief, as they couldn't really imagine any food that could be more delicious than their nutrient gruel."Did you not taste food before when you were at the orphanage?" Sam asked curiously."I can't remember, I think the food at the orphanage wasn't that good. At least I can't remember tasting anything worth remembering there." Gabriel said as he tried to recall.Liana's group was surprised that the Roberts family had done something to the food to train them.It made a twisted sense, after all, if they got used to Earth's food, they wouldn't be able to get accustomed to the food here, and they would rebel. Therefore, to train their obedience, they must have been prevented from tasting anything enjoyable."These Roberts family are truly worse than animals! They've taken away all their basic human rights; they didn't even have the courage to give good food to the children. The most del

Liana didn't waste any time and immediately asked to examine the base's defense system. The control center was located on the fifth floor of Walter Roberts' residence, and even though the base was full of computer geniuses, and not of the ordinary kind, none of them were able to break through the security system because it was too complicated and could cause terrible consequences if someone was too careless. That's why no one had been able to crack it, even though so much time had passed. However, since Liana had already brought down the system controlling the satellites, this should be easy for her. Gabriel and the others pinned their hopes on Liana, and if she couldn't do it, then no one else alive could. However, after Liana took a rudimentary look, she frowned deeply. Things didn't seem optimistic."This system is even more complicated than the one controlling the satellites," Gabriel choked."More complicated than that?""Indeed," Liana nodded. "But don't worry, I can still do it

"He by any chance, is he trying to separate us? He's not crazy!" There was a trace of anger in his eyes."Maybe so, but it was stupid.""Definitely!" Edward observed with a mischievous smile. "I'm not like him, and if he became an addict, I won't, because only you can feed my addiction."Her sweet speech became much softer, but it was becoming easier for Liana to hear. She would feel sweet every time he did these things; it's no wonder they said speaking sweetly was a woman's greatest weakness, so she thought: Maybe it's not so bad to have fallen in love with this man.Thinking about it, Liana couldn't help but smile, and Edward, seeing that, his charming smile deepened."Why are you smiling?""For no reason, I just wish to return home soon and finally rest!"When they were at home, nothing seemed special, but only after leaving did they realize how wonderful life was. They were only there for a few days, and she couldn't wait to go back home.She wanted to go back to her home with

"He must have been influenced by Walter Roberts after all. Only Walter knows how to activate the defense system, but he didn't lose it... or was he pretending all along?" Gabriel hissed with anger."That crazy old man, I'm going to finish him now!" Sam rushed back outside in a fit of rage."Wait," Liana said suddenly, and Sam stopped and turned to look at her with a puzzled expression.Liana stood up to address everyone gathered there."From this second onward, no one can waste any more time. Go make the necessary preparations and gather in the cars. I'll use my fastest speed to disable the defense system and open the barrier, and if we're lucky, we might still survive this." Sam and the others were stunned.What did she just say? She will have us wait in the cars while she stays behind to deal with the system? Edward was the first to grab her arm and look at her as he asked, "Have you lost your mind?" Liana shot him a firm look and repeated herself firmly."I'll stay behind to break

Liana began working on her keyboard non-stop, and Sam soon returned with two sets of special suits, and after helping her put them on, Edward ordered."Go to the cars and see if there's a way to save us.""Okay, you got it!" Sam nodded tensely and looked at Edward, saying solemnly, "You two have to survive; I'll use all my energy to save you.""Thank you, now go, quickly!"That was the only response Edward gave him, but it was enough to convey the gratitude he felt toward the other man. Sam nodded knowingly and didn't waste time chatting; he went to fulfill his responsibility. Every second was precious, and they couldn't afford to waste any.Edward also started to move. He personally helped Liana get into the special suit, which wasn't easy, considering the fact that her hands never left the laptop while she put on the outfit. With Edward's assistance, Liana successfully put on her special suit, leaving out the gloves in case of an explosion. He then p

Very soon, they felt a rather uncomfortable sensation settling in the pit of their stomachs. Gabriel and the rest sighed silently."After thirty years, this is the first time I've come across the knowledge that someone can have a stomachache from laughing. Actually, this is the first time I've laughed so happily," Gabriel said, tears in his eyes, and the people around him nodded."I feel the same!""Me too..." Everyone else agreed with nods.They lamented their previous life, which was no different from a living death. Every waking minute was spent mechanically conducting research, and the last decade of their lives was less than the last few minutes of happiness. They vowed never to return to such a monotonous way of life. Gabriel suddenly turned to Liana and bowed deeply to her."Miss Liana, thank you for saving all our lives! We will never forget the kindness you showed us today and the new life you've given us. Miss Liana, thank you very much!"

While on the way, Liana contacted the authorities and those waiting for news at the control center. As soon as Ali and the rest heard her voice, they breathed a sigh of relief knowing they were returning earlier, and their faith in her only grew. Liana had never failed; her track record proved it.She had no idea that her image had greatly improved in the eyes of many people after this incident. Even the way Walter Roberts looked at her had changed.Speaking of the devil, he had awakened and was tied to a chair so tightly that he couldn't even move his wrists, let alone his fingers. His eyes, filled with rage, locked onto Liana, who was sitting right in front of him. The two stared at each other without fear, not saying a word; they simply looked at each other.Walter's gaze was like that of a predator stalking its prey in the dark, which alarmed many people there. Liana's gaze was like the surface of a deep, clear pool, cold but composed. Even under Walter Robe

After Liana woke up, she was interrogated by the police, but since she couldn't remember anything, there was nothing she could answer. Fortunately, the hotel manager intervened to vouch for her. Later, the real killer of Veronica was arrested, so the police released her.He smiled and said, "It seems what they say is correct. The me in this second is different from the me in the last second. Changing the past is a very difficult thing to do because a large part of time and space will be distorted, and who is man to challenge the natural process of time and space?""You're right, but luckily, we managed to change the past," Liana nodded."No, we didn't change anything," Edward shook his head."We didn't?" Liana furrowed her brow; if they hadn't, how could he be so slow?As if he were reading her thoughts, Edward couldn't help but smile."But we changed the future.""What do you mean by that?""The man acknowledged our effort and was willing to give the world another 25 years, but we ch

"He's escaping!" Edward hissed vehemently.He then leaped out of the window ledge and landed on the ground. This was the second floor, but he jumped without hesitation. Liana saw this and rushed down the stairs as fast as she could. Unfortunately, when she reached the ground floor, she could only see Edward's shadow fleeing.Liana used her top speed to catch up, and Edward was chasing the killer. The killer was running with Veronica on his back. He jumped into a car parked on the road, then threw Veronica inside and drove away.Edward almost caught up to the car but arrived a second too late. He could only watch as the car sped away."Get in!" Liana had already anticipated the killer's actions, so she had stopped a car at the side of the road, and Edward got into the car without hesitation."Chase that car in front of us!" Liana ordered the driver. The driver stepped on the gas pedal but asked uncertainly, "What are you planning?""Catch him, and this is all yours!" Edward, who was si

After securing his room, Edward exited through the hotel's back door and headed towards Veronica's residence.Veronica didn't live far from the small hotel, but it would still take ten minutes to walk there. She resided in a dilapidated residential area. The surroundings consisted of old, abandoned three-story buildings. Most of them had broken windows and, looking from the outside, appeared completely dark and uninhabited.Only a few rooms had dim lights filtering from within. The streetlights in this residential area were all broken, and the place was dark. Occasionally, the hissing of cats from the overgrown bushes could be heard; it was the perfect setting for a horror movie.However, Liana wasn't afraid. Besides caution, there was no trace of fear on her face. She followed the address and inspected the buildings one by one, and after some effort, she finally found where Veronica was located.Liana was standing under the building, and when she looked up, she saw that the lights on

"A girl from abroad, probably here to travel," replied the manager. "In that case, she'll definitely need a good tour guide." The man straightened his suit in an obvious manner and eagerly rushed out.The manager shook his head but didn't intervene. Women from out of town often fell prey to the town's men, and many of them considered themselves lucky to have experienced a foreign affair, when in reality, all these men were seasoned hunters, and their prizes were just women.If the girl didn't resist temptation, she would have a lot to lose. However, Carl wasn't concerned about the girl who had just left because she seemed entirely capable of taking care of herself.Liana walked for a while before realizing someone was following her. She saw a dark alley and entered it directly. The man behind her laughed cheerfully and quickened his pace.In the alley, Liana was soon cornered by the man. Initially, the man had intended to follow her for a while longer, but he knew this alley like the

Armed with a curious heart, Liana entered this small, old-looking hotel. Sitting behind the antique counter was a middle-aged man tallying the accounts. He was thin, and though the shirt he wore was outdated, it was of a certain luxury, and there was a calculating glint in his eyes. Liana could tell, with just a glance, that he was the hotel manager.The manager saw her, and his gaze swiftly traversed her entire body. He then stood up with a smile to inquire."Accommodation?""Yes, give me your best room," Liana said as she handed him her temporary identity, as she had acquired temporary residence in the country and didn't need to carry her passport.The manager accepted her identity and studied it. He asked with a smile, "Where are you from? It says here that you're not from this country.""The United States," Liana replied in an emotionless tone. Normally, others wouldn't have pressed further, but the manager typed her information unhurriedly and continued to ask."Are you here to t

"This is her," Lilith handed them a photo and introduced, "Her name is Veronica, and she lived in Darlin, here in the United States, and was murdered in a homicide case ten years ago, and the killer gruesomely dismembered her body, but they never found the body, and what you need to do is to find the killer or desecrate her body. I've also compiled all the information I could find about her, so you can take a look now."Lilith then opened her laptop to show the information about Veronica. Liana and Edward thought Veronica would have a complicated background, but to their surprise, she was a simple and ordinary woman, and the only noteworthy thing was that she was raped and gave birth to a child. However, her child was stolen from her, and she fell into depression, barely surviving on the streets.Nevertheless, misfortune did not leave her life.When she was 30, she was brutally murdered, and the case remains unsolved to this day. Nobody knew who the killer was or what the motive was.

At that time, I foresaw something and chose to settle there. I conducted at least ten years of research and reached a bottleneck. Similarly, I was afraid that Walter Roberts would notice our scent, so I brought them with me when I left," Lilith recounted in a distant tone, and Liana and Edward still had difficulty understanding her, but they knew she was talking about Gabbe's parents.Unfortunately, they all perished during various experiments, news that caused Gabbe to withdraw for a long period of time. Only Lilith survived. Liana understood that her mother was not a coward. She also participated in these dangerous experiments and survived, probably due to luck and ability.However, they still hadn't achieved what she foresaw. Could it be the apocalypse? Liana asked the question, and Lilith nodded."Yes, I foresaw the apocalypse, and it will happen soon. But don't wo

"What will make you stop?""I don't need anything," the man smiled indulgently."You must have something you desire," Lilith turned to look at him. "Tell me what it is, maybe I can fulfill your wish.""I'm honored to hear that from you. I'm glad I had this conversation with you today, and thank you for allowing me to be in the presence of the brightest person in the world," the man raised his eyebrow slightly.Lilith understood what he meant.He didn't need anything; he simply enjoyed talking to her.He was wrapping up the conversation, and no one would stop his plan, not even her.However, no matter how dark he was, he was still a man.If he were a man, he would be prone to regrets and ideals, and Lilith believed that he, as an individual, was more than just a rush to destroy the world.Lilith's calm eyes gazed into his, and her voice was low but sounded like heavenly music in his ears."Think carefully, what is still buried deep in your heart? Destroying the world is easy, but can y

"You used the memory cells?" Lilith's gaze scanned her entire body, and she immediately realized the truth."You are definitely the brightest woman there is, I'm very impressed," the man clapped his hands together as he spoke."Do you need something from me?" Lilith wasn't surprised, nor did she show any visible reaction to his easy admission; she simply asked in a soft tone."Of course, I overheard everything just now. If you don't mind, I believe we can have an interesting conversation," the man said in a friendly tone."Okay," Lilith nodded, and the mysterious man smiled and extended his hand."Please!" Lilith followed him without hesitation. They entered another room, and the difference from Walter Roberts' room was that this one was larger and more luxurious. It was the chief secretary's office, and there was a photo of him on the desk. However, compared to the man in front of Lilith, the man in the photo appeared refined and exuded a kindness cultivated by age. The man before h
