When Zhang Guangmu mentioned "gaining immortality", his tone was calm, as if he was just describing an objective fact, without any excitement at all. He looked like an understatement. "After completing part of my vision, problems followed."
"Eternal life is not eternal life after all."
"With the help of various science and technologies, my body almost never ages and will always remain at the age of twenty-four. However, my spirit, will, and beliefs are gradually being worn, eroded, and consumed."
"I'm sleeping longer and longer."
"From eight hours at the beginning, to later, I need to sleep for 20 hours a day to be able to cheer up and maintain a good mental state."
"That's when I realized what the problem was."
"My body is young, but my soul is old."
"The development of Earth's science and technology is still too slow."
Having said this, Zhang Guangmu paused for a moment. "No..."
"To be precise, I was born too early."
"If I could have been born a hundred years later..."
"Perhaps all this tragedy will not have to happen."
After the words fell, the eyes of Ma Wu, who reacted very quickly, flickered slightly, vaguely realizing something.
But he did not interrupt Zhang Guangmu's speech, but listened quietly and patiently.
"This little guy reacts very quickly."
Zhang Guangmu looked at Ma Wu: "Have you guessed the truth? It's amazing..."
"To put it straight to the point, the essence of [Dark Corpse virus] is [Longevity Potion]."
"Initially, I wanted those outstanding but old and frail scientists to enjoy immortality like me and contribute to the cause of immortality."
"Even... I plan to wait until those scientists have adapted to the life of Longevity User, and then gradually provide the same benefits to their relatives and friends."
"I made a twenty-year plan."
"If all goes well, [Longevity Potion] will become a job benefit for every legal citizen on the planet."
"But..."
"It was only then that I finally realized deeply and clearly the power of faith and will."
Zhang Guangmu still had that elegant smile on his face, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. "Not everyone has the absolute obsession to pursue eternal life like me."
"The spirit of those scientists cannot afford the gift of immortality."
"[Longevity Potion], which is tailor-made for me, does not apply to others."
"Thus, those scientists became the [Dark Corpses] known to you."
"At the beginning, it was only relatives and friends of the scientists who were infected."
"Then..."
"Dark Corpse virus rapidly mutates and upgrades, and it evolves from being transmitted through body fluids to being airborne."
"The end of the world is here."
Hearing this, Ma Wu took a deep breath, his lower lip was bitten with blood, and his face was full of pain.
He has in-depth research on psychology and has gone through many practical trials. Although he is not a human lie detector, he...
Ma Wu can still tell whether what a person says is a compiled lie or the truth.
This is why he willingly succumbed to Wang Shangqing and Zhang Guangmu and became the third in command of the survivor team!
Because after a brief exchange, Ma Wu discovered that the two of them had no selfish motives and really wanted to take everyone out of the Corpse Mansion.
And the person in front of me is [The Final Product] who has the same voice and appearance as Zhang Guangmu...
The other party is not essentially a treacherous person.
Although he is a cunning villain, he is also thinking about old friendships and wants to reward [Longevity Potion] to those scientists who have made great contributions so that everyone can live forever.
What a pity...
What happened was counterproductive!
Ma Wu It is very clear that for normal viruses, [lethality] and [infectiousness] are usually inversely proportional. After all... if the lethality is too strong, the sick person will die directly. Without the source of infection, the intensity of infection will decrease.
[Dark Corpse virus] But it is completely different...
It's like a BUG, an artificially created BUG.
It can directly transform living people into dark corpses!
For humans on earth, this is a super virus that has both "lethality" and "infectiousness" at the same time!
Having said this, Zhang Guangmu pursed his lips slightly. This almost millimeter-level muscle movement added a bit of coolness to his originally gentle and approachable smile, "Here comes the interesting part..."
"When the earth's population was only about three billion, [Inverse Longevity Potion] was developed."
"But, at this moment, I also received Invitation Letter from [Cosmic Alliance]."
Up to this moment in the performance, Zhang Guangmu felt that he was extremely dedicated!
[Acting Skill], which has been clicked to 4 a long time ago, has only shown its full potential at this moment.
Zhang Guangmu uses his eyes and micro-expressions to vividly interpret the similarities and differences between the character [Lord of Earth] and the [strategist].
Other Subconscious Actor, even if they are shielded from reality and the previous memory, and truly think of themselves as [Lord of Earth] and deceive themselves, they cannot perform as well as Zhang Guangmu.
This is skill!
Skills honed to perfection are often more useful than talent and instinct!
"Cosmic Alliance is based on Longevity Potion, providing me with a means closer to immortality."
Zhang Guangmu said in a calm tone, "Collect data on outstanding people from the home planet, and use their memory, thinking, and behavior patterns to anchor ourselves."
"In fact, [Eternal Lifers] people in all major civilizations will [deduct and reproduce] by absorbing the characteristics of [excellent people], and maintain the renewal and constant existence of their own beliefs and spiritual bodies through continuous [Will Metabolism]."
"After a period of [playing] and thoroughly digesting 'Zhang Guangmu', I was able to stabilize my spirit again and take a step closer to eternal life."
"It's just..."
His speech was interrupted by a sudden sound.
"[Child of Civilization], please perform the final harvest on your home planet."
This sudden voice was a magnetic male voice.
A moment later, a humanoid life form wearing golden armor appeared next to Zhang Guangmu.
The reason why it is called "humanoid life form" is because this person's skin has a silvery white color, there is a third eye between the eyebrows, and behind him is a tail that is about 1.9 meters and wrapped in a pitch-black bone shell.
Obviously, Gold Armored Being is not a human on Earth.
His voice sounded very mature, about thirty-five years old. He did not speak any language on earth, but was presented to everyone through simultaneous translation through a microphone.
"Although the destructive mining plan of fishing for all the land will lead to poor future development and encounter more challenges and difficulties, for you who have only a short time, it will help you complete the final leap in life and reach the eternal shore."
Gold Armored Being stood beside Zhang Guangmu, bowing slightly to show respect.
After doing this, he said leisurely, "After this harvest is completed, you will sublimate into the true [Eternal Lifers] and gain a lifespan that far exceeds the average lifespan of a star."
"In the face of eternal life, all problems will be easily solved."
"At that time, the sun will also surrender to your brilliance."
