Chapter 906 - 510: I Am the Prime Minister and General

The old man didn’t keep them in suspense, shaking his head with a smile, "It’s not him."

Su Huan wanted to ask more but suddenly noticed many elderly people with gray hair around him, some so frail they needed assistance to walk. Like Professor Ma and his team, they had the evident aura of researchers.

They were looking at Su Huan as if he were a national treasure, and the leading old man unceremoniously interrupted the conversation between the two and asked with a hint of anticipation.

"Are you... truly a Tier Four Evolver?"

"Yes."

"This is the chief of the institute, Director Xu."

The third elderly man acted as an introducer, introducing Su Huan.

Su Huan nodded helplessly.

From his interactions with Director Xu, he knew this line was merely the beginning of the beginning, acquaintance certainly wasn’t the focus, and it was evident from these researchers’ eyes, each with a heap of questions waiting for him to answer as a fresh case.

"We’ve researched for a long time, always feeling that there is a chasm between Tier Three and Tier Four. We speculate the next direction might be twofold: one is Unity of Heaven and Man, integrating oneself with Tao. The other is conquering the world with willpower..."

This notion also seemed novel to Su Huan, but he quickly gave an answer after a moment of thought, "Actually, both are right, but Tier Four just qualifies one to touch the underlying operation rules of the world, like the rule of ’Energy’ that I’ve encountered."

"Did you comprehend this yourself?"

"Not really, you know the Twelve Zones, right?" Su Huan countered.

Many researchers’ faces froze slightly, and Director Xu continued, "Go on."

Su Huan sharply caught their odd expressions.

’They are aware and have some discrepancies with my information.’

"Each zone might have more than one Rule Stone. Finding the stone that resonates with oneself may lead to advancing to Tier Four."

The atmosphere was quiet for a moment, then suddenly buzzed into more fierce discussion, with many old men throwing questions towards Su Huan amid their arguments.

Listening briefly, it seemed that Eternal Night also researched the three basic rules of evolution, only named differently.

Because of the abundance of researchers and time, they delved deeper into some fringe studies, each concept having a specific person in charge, with greater depth than on the train.

For these crucial evolutionary details, Su Huan could spare some patience and time.

During this, He Wei’s matters were discussed.

The culprit of erasing He Wei’s memory is still alive; perhaps when Recill’s true spirit completely dissipates, the rules imposed on He Wei would vanish, and his memory would return.

Maybe it will never return in this lifetime; Su Huan couldn’t be certain of this.

The third elder didn’t intend to keep him answering questions forever, taking him to the command center after chatting for over ten minutes.

When stepping onto the sliding platform into the central command platform, all sounds vanished, as quiet as sinking into the deep sea.

At this moment, in the vast dome space, only three people remained, Su Huan, the third elder, and Elder Marshal.

"Can you tell me who that person is now?"

Su Huan stared directly at the third elder.

He pondered for a long time upon entering, even sifting through his chaotic dream-like memory fragments, but found no trace of any high-level state official, not even anyone of much lower rank.

The elder nodded solemnly, "I will tell you everything I know."

Su Huan waited, surprised to find the elder didn’t propose any conditions, just began narrating on his own.

Though slow, his voice was clear and firm.

"December 10, 2035, is the apocalypse outbreak point, but in fact, the time we truly learned about the impending apocalypse was April 6, 2028, seven years before the actual apocalypse outbreak."

Su Huan wasn’t surprised by this information; he had verified this fact from various aspects long ago.

"I’m more interested in knowing how you learned about this information, and what you did afterward?"

"A young man volunteered to contact us and predicted events of the following year, gaining the trust of all of us back then, including me. We took more than a year to verify, then based on the list he provided, sought those who would become strong post-apocalypse, making some arrangements without interfering with them."

The elder looked deeply at Su Huan across from him.

He remembered clearly that there wasn’t a Su Huan on that list, but there was someone of the same surname, named Su Li.

But Su Huan didn’t notice this slight concealment; upon hearing these words, it was as if his occiput got hit, numb from scalp to heel, his eye sockets pricking like needles, unable to hide even when he tried closing them.

He considered countless possibilities but never thought someone beat him to it!

In this world, there is another reborn individual, one who was reborn seven years earlier!

No, if a second one appeared, then it’s unlikely just two; perhaps there are more hiding in the shadows unbeknownst.

In an instant, various pieces of information flashed in Su Huan’s mind.

The Tier Three "Hundred Beasts" blocking the north exit of High Temperature Zone zombies also became extremely dubious.

After a while, seeing Su Huan had processed this information, the elder continued speaking.

"With his help, we spent seven years preparing twelve lines of defense and left behind some seeds."
