Yan Nian couldn’t explain clearly, her panicked appearance was fully caught by Yan Yi.
He suddenly burst into laughter. How ridiculous, he had been deceived by this woman for over ten years.
He spread his hands wide. He personally administered the injection to Tang Guo, a drug that temporarily suppressed her abilities. He personally handed her over to the Sunset Base, condemning her to endure the pain of being experimented on.
He finally understood why she didn’t escape after her abilities had recovered.
She must have been in despair and didn’t want to run.
She had given up hope and no longer had the will to live.
He remembered when she first came to Base No. 7, so timid and helpless, yet she mustered the courage to look for her fiancé.
He recalled how she, despite being a pampered young lady, in order to explain to him, did things she was not used to, and even cooked a delicious meal.
He remembered… he had actually pushed her into a group of zombies for Yan Nian. The look she gave him when she turned back tore his heart apart and filled him with regret.
After that, she no longer pestered him or explained anything.
Before leaving, she had even beaten him and Yan Nian up. At that time, her smile seemed to know something.
When he injected her with the drug, she neither cursed nor resisted but smiled weakly and told those people, “Take me away, hand me over, and your base will be safe.”
Xiao Guo… Yan Yi mouthed silently, no matter how regretful he was, she was gone, and she would never return to his side.
He hastily wiped away his tears and glanced coldly at Yan Nian, who was trembling in the corner.
He knew Yan Nian was suspicious. There was a time when he didn’t know the truth and could tolerate it. No matter how suspicious she was, he would be forgiving.
But now, it felt like a madman had taken residence in his heart. If he didn’t deliberately suppress it, he feared he would punch Yan Nian to death.
Yan Nian didn’t dare to do anything. The jade pendant was useless and her cultivated strength was far inferior to Yan Yi’s.
Over the years, she had contributed most of the spiritual spring water for the research of the serum and hadn’t had time to cultivate.
She thought, as long as Yan Yi was there, her strength was enough to protect herself, and there was no need to work so hard.
Yan Yi directly picked up Yan Nian and abolished the tendons in her hands and feet. Ignoring her cries of pain, he instead wore a crazed smile.
Xiao Guo was dead, and this woman couldn’t be allowed to have a good end either. He wouldn’t let her die easily.
After crippling her, he ordered for her to be secretly interrogated.
With Yan Nian’s willpower, how could she endure? She confessed her origins thoroughly.
“I just didn’t want things to end so miserably. I only took her jade pendant and tricked her into going out to get medicine. I just didn’t want her to be with you, that’s all,” Yan Nian said in a disheveled state. “Really, I had no other intentions. You see, I never actually harmed her, did I?”
“Treat her tendons, inject her with the ability-suppressing serum, and make sure she has no strength left before throwing her out,” Yan Yi ordered coldly. He had not anticipated this outcome at all.
It turned out that he was a character in a book.
Yan Nian had stolen Xiao Guo’s jade pendant because her character would face a tragic end in the future.
He wanted to laugh. Of all the methods, why choose this one?
Originally, he and Xiao Guo should have faced the apocalypse together, but because of Yan Nian, Xiao Guo was gone, his Xiao Guo was gone.
