Chapter 278 The Despair of Approaching Death Is the only Comfort!

With twinkling eyes, Tao Yaoyao's gaze flickered back and forth between Professor Yan and the two.

She just made an excuse to go to the bathroom, but in fact she just went back to have an interview with Su Ze. Of course she had known about Su Ze's plan for a long time and knew that none of the people on the list could escape and all would be liquidated.

That's why when she saw the list, she asked Professor Yan if she wanted to live...

However, Professor Yan obviously did not truly understand Tao Yaoyao's intention.

She even thought that Taoyao Yao was just talking about the past with her, because she had also asked Tao Yaoyao in the same calm, even gentle tone, if she still wanted to live...

certainly.

Professor Yan tried to ask Tao Yaoyao if he had guessed something, but Tao Yaoyao shook his head and dismissed it. The latter wanted to ask Su Ze what he thought before making a decision...

"Do you want Professor Yan to survive?"

"Oh, of course, as long as you are sure that you have the motive to save her life... Oh, I forgot to mention it, you owe me a favor."

This is Su Ze's answer.

It was casual enough to make a joke... Although Su Ze wanted to make use of the topic and have a hearty pua, but considering that Tao Yaoyao's desire was not very strong, he could only stop there.

That's right.

Tao Yaoyao's desire to help Professor Yan is not that strong...

She just felt that both Professor Yan and Yan Jiaojiao had spent some time together and lived with her as family members. They couldn't be said to like her, nor did they dislike her, but...

If they survive, it seems to be more valuable than dying directly.

so……

"It'll be okay."

Tao Yaoyao said coldly, her beautiful eyes blinked, and she looked at Professor Yan: "It will end at 12 noon. Everyone on the list will die one by one, but you will not."

She really knew the inside story... Professor Yan and Yan Jiaojiao both looked towards Tao Yaoyao, with different but similar expressions of surprise on their faces.

This time Yan Jiaojiao didn't say anything sarcastic, she only showed a little bit of happiness.

The professor, on the other hand, left no trace and breathed a long sigh of relief. Although he still didn’t know why Tao Yaoyao dared to give a firm judgment, it must not be groundless...

"Thank you, I understand."

After a long while, Professor Yan thanked him in a deep voice.

Out of the corner of her eyes, she glanced at the announcement listing the charges again...

Compared with some of the people on the list who had committed heinous crimes, she might indeed pale into insignificance, but she also knew that the mistakes she had made were beyond repudiation.

Even gene-edited babies with congenital defects should have the right to choose to live, but she did not give it.

When the experiment was not going well, she even wanted to give up on herself, and even wanted to destroy a normal child like Taoyao Yao. Although in the end, because Tao Yaoyao's talent was revealed, she gave up on herself and returned to rationality, but this was also At least it's an attempted murder...

Time is passing quietly.

As Tao Yaoyao said, before twelve o'clock at noon, the people on the list will die one after another.

then……

In the official safe zone, you can quickly see that those whose names appear on the list but have not yet been recruited are going crazy.

Or they can't bear the horror of approaching death and want to escape from the safe zone under their feet and go further to avoid this invisible disaster.

Or they go crazy on the spot, unable to avoid death, so they try to drag others into the water.

He even places his last hope on non-existent gods, burns incense and worships Buddha, kneels down to beg for mercy, and prays with fear and fear...

While this scene was happening, some gossip spread:

"Is it true? Is this the revenge of the killing god? Is he leading all of this behind the scenes?"

"Oh my god! I've guessed it a long time ago, it must be related to him!"

"The news is absolutely true. I personally went to the student team of Su University to find out the news. Qin Yushi said it herself. This is what Su Ze did!"

"It's so terrifying. How did he do it? Even when the God of Death came, he was not as exaggerated as he was. Whoever he clicked would die? Isn't this also because of the magic of telepathy!"

"It can only be the spiritual art, but it may not be his own spiritual art. Have you forgotten that there was a big bald man before..."

"That's the big bald man. He should be the pawn. I just heard from Sun Heyu that the big bald man and the God of Killing are in the same group."

"hiss--"

For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the safe zone.

Some people who have nothing to do with themselves are freed from their initial panic and fear.

Gradually, he became calm and stood in the audience, and began to appreciate the scene of the God of Death wielding his sickle, especially some ordinary people who had suffered at the hands of these evil people...

There are also countless people who secretly applaud.

.............................

The time came to noon.

Direction to Beicheng.

Qingshuang, now a young general under Tao Yaoyao, went back to his previous residence with his work tasks. As soon as he came back, he smelled the fragrant aroma of food coming from the house...

"Shuangshuang is back. Wash your hands and sit down quickly. Dinner is about to begin."

The cook at home greeted me with a smile as usual.

In ordinary residential buildings, the atmosphere is just like before the apocalyptic disaster, revealing a sparse and ordinary sense of daily life. Today's situation and conditions are hard-won.

"I don't know which area was destroyed by the monsters in the polluted area again. There was a power outage today. I can only open the curtains and let in some moonlight..."

The cook explained while serving the dishes to the table.

Qingshuang looked around and asked, "Where is my old man?"

The cook smiled and explained, "He just had something to do and went out. He didn't have time to eat..."

Qingshuang said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions. She started to eat. The old man she was talking about was her grandfather, a top scientist.

Some time ago, it was her old man who secretly submitted a resume to Tao Yaoyao.

She ate a few bites.

The cooking aunt took out the sealed document from the room and said, "Mr. Ding said that you came back to get this, so he asked me to pass it to you."

Putting down the chopsticks, Qingshuang took the sealed document and murmured suspiciously, "Just for a document, he asked me to make a special trip. Can't you just ask someone to deliver it?"

The cooking aunt shook her head, "No, Mr. Ding said that you should send this document directly to Sucheng, saying that Academician Tao might need it temporarily."

Qingshuang's face was stunned: "Send... send it to Sucheng? Me?"

Suddenly, I felt like I was wearing Benboerba's skin set... Qingshuang thought, the organization thinks too highly of her, can't they ask her to deliver it thousands of miles away?

Not to mention how many contaminated areas there are and how dangerous they are, just the distance between the two places...

"No, Academician Tao has already said hello and said that he will come to pick you up. You just need to follow the project manager at that time." The cooking aunt added an explanation.

Qingshuang's face showed understanding.

Then she began to mutter in her heart that she should be meeting the project leader soon. She wondered what kind of person he was...
