Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 27 Prank

Jiang Yang turned his head and saw that Zhou Yu's big eyes were a little moist, and she looked pitiful, as if she was silently begging him to give a negative answer.

"I don't want to die. I still have so many things to do. I've never even been in a relationship. To be honest, I'm really scared."

She tried her best to control her emotions, but it seemed she was about to lose control.

Jiang Yang gently took Zhou Yu's hand, feeling the coldness and trembling of that small hand, and smiled, "Death is not the end. There is a new life after death. It will pass quickly. It's okay, it's okay."

Zhou Yu closed her eyes, took deep breaths, and calmed down in a moment: "You really don't know how to comfort people."

"Hey, you're in charge of giving me psychological support, not the other way around."

Zhou Yu didn't pull her hand away, letting Jiang Yang hold it: "Let's not talk about that. Um... what exactly did I do in the last cycle?"

She seemed to have adjusted her mindset and accepted the fact that death was imminent.

"Want to know?"

"Yes I do."

"In the last cycle, you did... guess."

"Hey, you're so annoying! I'm not guessing, just tell me!"

Jiang Yang suppressed the heaviness in his heart and looked at Zhou Yu with a mischievous smile: "Just like you thought."

Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. In my past life, hehe, I knew everything.

Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment: "Really?"

"Of course, it's definitely true."

Zhou Yujie's fair face slowly flushed red, her whole body filled with shame and anger: "You, you pervert! You lecher! You dare to do such a thing to me, you, ahhh, I'm going to kill you!"

"Hey, hey, hey, we're all just normal colleagues, working together every day. Is this what you call a pervert or a creep?"

Zhou Yu was stunned again: "Normal...normal work?"

"What else do you think?"

Jiang Yang grinned mischievously again: "That's how it was in my previous life, huh? Wait a minute, why are you thinking about perverts and grotesques? What are you thinking? Or are you also hoping for me..."

"Fine, you tricked me!"

After a round of laughter and joking, the previously heavy atmosphere finally dissipated.

Zhou Yu's eyes flickered, as if she had remembered something, and a mischievous smile spread across her face: "In the next reincarnation, if you run into me at the steamed bun shop, you'll do this..."

She leaned close to Jiang Yang's ear and whispered something, which gradually shocked Jiang Yang, whose eyes widened.

"This, this isn't right, is it? You're too ruthless, even fooling yourself? Aren't you afraid of getting yourself killed?"

"I died in this life, and I don't even know if I'll be alive in the next. Who cares? I'm curious how I'll react in this situation, hehe."

Seeing Zhou Yu's smug smile, Jiang Yang finally gave in: "If you're not afraid, why should I be? Fine, let's do it this way."

After a long and winding journey, Jiang Yang arrived at Doomsday Base 7 and once again saw the numerous complex and massive pieces of equipment, as well as the serious-looking and hurried staff.

Compared to his previous life, Jiang Yang could clearly see that the equipment installed this time was vastly different. Of course, he still didn't know exactly what the equipment did.

"With these devices, can we trace the source of that peculiar radiation and determine its precise type?"

Jiang Yang sighed inwardly, "I hope so."

In the conference room, Jiang Yang met with Sun Changhe, Lu Zhaoming, and others.

Sun Changhe grasped Jiang Yang's hand: "Comrade Jiang Yang, I've been so busy lately that I'm only meeting you now. I'm truly sorry."

"It's alright, we've already met before."

After exchanging pleasantries for a moment, Jiang Yang looked at Lu Zhaoming beside him and saw that Professor Lu Zhaoming's hair was disheveled, his eyes were bloodshot, and he exuded an aura of dejection. "Professor Lu, you did nothing wrong. The only mistake was that things were too strange and exceeded our expectations."

Jiang Yang said sincerely, "Your hard work and efforts will not be in vain. At least it has prevented us from going down the wrong path in our next life."

Lu Zhaoming patted Jiang Yang's hand without saying anything.

"Alright, let's start the meeting."

This meeting was meaningless to Jiang Yang. He had already attended a similar meeting in his previous life.

It's nothing more than an introduction to the base layout, the establishment of the radiation source tracing network, and an explanation of some equipment and information.

After the meeting, Jiang Yang arrived at the core laboratory and saw the chair that resembled a recliner again. However, the equipment next to it had been almost completely replaced, making it entirely different from the last time.

As Jiang Yang stroked the cold metallic feel of the recliner, a sense of emotion welled up in his heart: "We are destined to meet."

After understanding the situation, Jiang Yang was taken back to the lounge. At 11:30 a.m., there was a knock on the door.

Zhou Yu, dressed in loose sportswear, looked at Jiang Yang and said, "It's almost time."

"Let's go."

All the core personnel of the base gathered again in this conference room.

Jiang Yang looked at Lu Zhaoming: "Is there still no result from the radiation formula experiment?"

He shook his head sadly.

"Ok."

He didn't speak, but silently lay down on the recliner, letting the doctors in white coats connect various devices to him.

He knew that at that moment, at least tens of thousands of people across the entire planet were receiving the same treatment as him.

There are no fewer than ten in this base alone.

Based on the fact that this special radiation only affects the human body and has no effect on other equipment or living organisms, the human body becomes a necessary medium for tracing the source of this radiation.

With the device connected, only 10 minutes remained.

Just like in the previous life, another person in a white coat walked in carrying a refrigerated box.

Upon opening it, there was only one syringe inside.

He looked at Sun Changhe with a puzzled expression.

Sun Changhe smiled and shook his head: "I don't need to carry out any judgment missions in this life, so I won't fight."

"This... hurts a lot."

Sun Changhe still wore a smile, but his gaze began to drift and become distant.

"We failed to save the country and civilization, and we failed to spare our fellow citizens from suffering. This is the consequence we should bear."

Jiang Yang remained silent and did not try to persuade him further. Instead, he looked at Gu Changshan and said, "You... oh, never mind, you don't need to hit him."

Gu Changshan swallowed back the words of refusal he had prepared, and looked at Jiang Yang with surprise.

Jiang Yang ignored him and looked at Lu Zhaoming again: "Professor Lu, are you going to make the call?"

Lu Zhaoming forced a smile: "No, I... I want to experience this radiation firsthand."

I've searched for it over 2000 million times and still can't find it. I want to know how it killed me..."

Jiang Yang then looked at Zhou Yu: "Want an injection? I'm not kidding, it really hurts."
