Grass!
Finally, Zhushi Jiu’s emotions have been restored.
After injecting the antidote, it coursed through his bloodstream and spread to every cell in his body. The first to respond to the antidote was the edge system of the brain that controlled human emotions. Then, the brain released neurotransmitters, reviving the biological signals of the edge system.
This feeling was like a super-powerful bomb exploding in Zhushi Jiu’s brain, releasing all his senses!
Completely different from last week’s experience.
Last week’s antidote was too intense, and Zhushi Jiu couldn’t clearly remember that feeling. Only after retracting did he recall the experience, which felt like a dream, without any deep impression.
However, now he had injected only 7.5% of the antidote, which allowed him to feel the changes in his body and emotions more gradually.
The emotions were too overwhelming.
The pent-up anger made Zhushi Jiu’s face red with rage, and he wanted to curse everyone: himself, Xu Feng, the two Black Soldiers, Xue An, and the Alien Creature that had put him in this situation, and the entire world!
Grass! His inner self was going crazy while his outer appearance was still trembling with anger.
—— His remaining rationality was the only thing stopping him.
Xu Feng couldn’t determine how much emotions Zhushi Jiu had recovered, so this was an opportunity.
After the anger subsided, there was an overwhelming sense of excitement and joy.
Oh my god, I’ve finally recovered my emotions! This feeling is so fresh! So nostalgic! My emotions are no longer lacking, and I can finally call myself a complete person!
Tears of joy kept streaming down his face, and Zhushi Jiu had to cover his face with his hands, not wanting the Black Soldiers to see his tears.
He could control his facial expressions, but he couldn’t stop his physiological responses.
“How are you?” Xu Feng’s voice came from the phone.
“I-I’m fine.” Zhushi Jiu buried his face in his hands, his voice trembling.
“You don’t sound too good.”
“This feeling is too fresh, and my body is undergoing unpredictable changes.”
Zhushi Jiu was trying to make his words sound rational and objective.
Xu Feng replied, “This is the drawback of injecting the antidote without testing. I can only guess that you’re injecting the Black Soldier Inhibitor, but I’m not sure if the antidote has been upgraded, so I can’t accurately estimate what changes it will bring to your body.”
“Uh… yeah.” Zhushi Jiu wasn’t in the mood to chat with Xu Feng.
Every time he spoke with Xu Feng, his anger and resentment towards him grew.
That included fear of Xu Feng discovering his fake emotional state, which was amplified in this emotional state.
Grass!
Zhushi Jiu recalled his multiple rebirths, and those memories kept flashing back like a tide, making him extremely moody, one moment wanting to cry, the next wanting to laugh, and mostly feeling superior.
I’m actually so awesome?!
I heaved a sigh of relief. I’ve saved the world!
This was a delayed joy.
The doomsday that was supposed to arrive on November 7th had been delayed by three months! I used to be a normal college student, and now I’ve made it this far in less than “three days”!
—— Such pride almost shattered Zhushi Jiu’s fake mask, but Xu Feng couldn’t see his expression over the phone, and the Black Soldiers’ gaze was blocked by his hands.
After a few minutes, Zhushi Jiu finally calmed down, and his rationality slowly suppressed his overwhelming emotions.
The 1.5ml injection, although a lot, was still not enough to fully control his thoughts.
“Is it possible that the Black Troop Organization hasn’t developed a corresponding countermeasure against this ‘dangerous’ Black Soldier Inhibitor?”
Zhushi Jiu tried to sound calm, diverting Xu Feng’s attention.
Xu Feng replied, “We do have the ability to develop countermeasures, but it’s not necessary.”
“Not necessary? Why? This antidote is a huge threat to the Black Soldiers. Anyone who’s experienced it knows it’s a life-or-death situation. Why wouldn’t the organization prepare a countermeasure?”
Zhushi Jiu was puzzled.
—— Ah, this curiosity and doubt felt so wonderful. Zhushi Jiu almost cried again.
“We’ve invested 99.99% of our research power into fighting the World Enemy. There are nearly a thousand organizations like this in the country, and if we had to respond to each one, it would be a huge waste of time and resources.”
“Once we develop a countermeasure, they’ll just research an even more aggressive method to counter us. Do we really need to break through one by one?”
“Their current strength is under our control, and we know they’re researching the Black Soldier Inhibitor. But what’s the point? As long as their methods don’t take a qualitative leap, everything is just an illusion to us.”
This statement sounded too domineering, and Zhushi Jiu was stunned.
Then, he felt a sense of pity towards Xue An and the others.
Your proud product, others had already developed countermeasures, but you’re still proud of yourselves. You’re just being short-sighted and foolish.
Zhushi Jiu quietly wiped away his tears and spoke in a calm tone, “So, they’re walking the wrong path.”
“That’s right. The Black Soldier Inhibitor is already enough to counter the Black Soldiers. Why would they need to upgrade it further? And they’re still producing this useless thing, wasting a large part of their funds on this project every year. It’s clear they’re shortsighted and foolish.”
Xu Feng’s tone was like he was stating a fact, not mocking them.
Zhushi Jiu nodded in agreement. “That’s right, indeed.”
He understood Xu Feng’s meaning.
Xu Feng was telling him that this organization was stupid and had no future, and he shouldn’t try to establish a relationship with them.
He had previously told Xu Feng that he had foreseen a future where he had injected the Black Soldier Inhibitor, which meant he might have established a good relationship with Xue An and the others, or even defected to their side.
—— Although the possibility was small, Xu Feng wouldn’t ignore it.
Now Xu Feng was just warning him, but if he were to discover that Zhushi Jiu had established a substantial relationship with Xue An and the others, he didn’t know what kind of consequences would follow.
Xu Feng and Zhushi Jiu were both trying to maintain their fragile cooperation, and Zhushi Jiu didn’t want to confront Xu Feng, so he revealed a hint of disdain towards Xue An and the others in their conversation.
Whether Xu Feng believed him or not, Xu Feng pretended to believe.
However, Zhushi Jiu was thinking that Xue An and the others had an unparalleled advantage that the Black Troop Organization couldn’t match.
Before recovering his emotions, he had thought about it, and now that he had recovered, he had a deeper understanding.
Xue An and the others could sacrifice their precious Black Soldier Inhibitor for their teammates, seeking help from a stranger like him, which showed they valued relationships and had a strong sense of humanity. At least in that aspect, they were far better than the Black Troop Organization.
Zhushi Jiu had finally caught a big fish; why would he let it go easily?
