Sigh, it’s exam season. If some reader is free, feel free to contact me as backup editor or pr. I would appreciate it very much!
Like a twinkling of an eye, the nineteen-year period that could be described as long, was also not that long. Except for Xiao WuYi who had no real memory of that time because he was too young, everyone present could be said to have personally experienced the bloodshed.
Because of the sudden madness and betrayal of the Qitu Race, the major figures of various races of the Alliance fell one after another. That year was the darkest and when the worst civil strife since the establishment of the Interstellar Alliance happened.
A moment of silence fell upon the conference room. His Majesty Seidong looked at the silent Xiao WuYi beside him. Feeling affection and doting, he couldn’t help but stretch out his hand and rubbed the other party’s black hair.
It was this unsuspecting disaster that made Xiao WuYi, who was born not long ago at the time, lose his parents forever. Although he didn’t experience it personally, the pain and regret it brought afterwards were quite a lot.
MoYan looked at his little nephew with distress. Recalling the accident that year, his eyes suddenly became so dark that it was about to drip water. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists with hatred. “There’s unexpectedly still descendants of the Qitu Race?”
After the victory that year, he was personally responsible for the final clean-up operation and tracking, he didn’t expect that there would still be fish that slipped through the net.
The old prime minister of the Qijiang clan was no longer surprised by Earth’s situation at this time. Frowning tightly, he spoke fiercely, “Sure enough! The virus in the reserve can only be made by those lunatics of the Qitu Race. Experimenting with hundreds of millions of living creatures is simply deranged!!!”
“That’s how they slaughtered our people back then, this group of ungrateful white-eyed wolves!!!”
***
At the beginning, the Qitu Race was just an intelligent race living in a small galaxy at the border. Because the star energy of their galaxy was exhausted and their home star was no longer suitable for living, they began to gaze beyond the starry sky.
They gathered the wisdom and strength of the entire planet to create a spaceship to leave their home planet, which was no longer suitable for survival and drifted around in the vast interstellar ocean.
In the process of drifting, the Qitu Race experienced generations of personnel replacements. The number of people dropped sharply, and they met the members of the Alliance when they were about to die out.
At that time, the Interstellar Alliance’s peace system had already been established for a hundred years. Faced with a pitiful race that had lost its homeland and had no combat power, the Alliance selflessly opened its arms to them and provided them with a place to reside.
The surviving Qitu people cherished this opportunity, and soon won the favor of the Alliance members.
They were famous for the barb-like paint pattern in the middle of their foreheads. They have supreme intelligence and were high-end scientific research talents from birth. With their amazing learning speed and ability, they perfectly integrated into the culture of all ethnic groups in the Alliance and even entered into diverse high-tech research institutes.
Each of their remarkable research results has made them more loved by all races, and because of the loss of their home planet, they have also left a trace of compassion in the hearts of all races.
It stands to reason that in such a preferential environment, the Qitu family ought to grow up quickly.
But what was regrettable was that although they have outstanding brains, their physical quality was very weak. The long-term interstellar drifting has altered their genes, making it so difficult for them to reproduce offspring that couldn’t even be solved by technology.
Compared with the races in the Alliance which possess ample combat effectiveness and various kinds of innate skill and abilities, the Qitu Race was really weak and small, almost like glass people.
Confronted with such a situation, the Qitu Race began to harbor distorted thoughts. Because they were small in number and their cohesiveness was very strong, they soon quietly schemed a terrifying conspiracy under the noses of the races.
They coveted the other races’ powerful physique and extraordinary abilities.
At the beginning, they only captured ordinary residents to do experiments so no one noticed, but as their experimental research progressed, they started to be dissatisfied with the residents’ ordinary innate skill and began to turn their sights to higher in status and more powerful big shots.
They acquired trust as a medical researcher and approached these big figures. Until finally, as if an appointment had been made, they carried out an extremely bloody sneak attack of a massacre on that night 19 years ago.
Unprepared, countless renowned figures were brutally murdered.
Xiao WuYi’s parents were included in those who were massacred that night. In front of the weak Qitu people, everyone had lowered their guard.
The entire Alliance was incessantly and deeply pained because of this bloody accident.
The Qitu Race planned carefully. After they succeeded in the sneak attack, they invaded warship forces by stealing, and started a big fight in an attempt to escape.
People of the entire Alliance were extremely hurt by this act of the white-eyed wolf Qitu Race, and also immensely furious.
Each and every race utilized the power of their whole race to conduct a siege, suppress, and clean-up on the Qitu Race. In the end, the Qitu Race still underestimated the strength of the wrathful major combat races, and they were beaten so hard they lost the power to retaliate.
Since then, the Qitu Race had vanished without a trace from the Alliance, but the pain they caused could never be erased.
***
Since he was sensible, Xiao WuYi was very curious about the story of his king father and queen mother. Even though everyone was very reluctant to mention that year’s bloody accident in front of him, he still knew everything he should know.
Albeit MoYan and AnYi have given him lots and lots of love, the sadness and regret of his parents’ death would lay buried in his heart forever.
He lost his biological parents because of the Qitu Race; and now, because of the Qitu Race again, his second hometown, the Earth home both he and Nie Xiao loves ardently, has become riddled with scars and devastated lives.
The Qitu Race has succeeded in arousing Xiao WuYi’s anger and hatred.
“I will kill him with my own hands.”
Xiao WuYi, who rarely gnashed his teeth in anger and spoke such ruthless words, did just that. The little hamster’s ire and vicious nature were completely evoked.
The others saw the youth’s red-eyed appearance and were all slightly startled, but at this time, no matter who it was, they could comprehend his feelings very well.
MoYan and AnYi stared at Xiao WuYi’s appearance, their hearts feeling a bout of melancholy. They’d thought that after the clean-up operation, he no longer needed to bear this enmity. However, who could’ve thought that the extinct Qitu Race, who had disappeared from the past, would once again make a comeback, perpetrating evil!!
His Majesty Saidong couldn’t help gently caressing the corner of Xiao WuYi’s eyes in distress. He soothingly said, “He is our common enemy. No matter what, we will execute him. These sorts of people are the scourge of interstellar.”
The identity of the black hand behind the scenes has been uncovered. Confronted with the remnants of the Qitu Race, the risk level of the countermeasures discussed at the meeting have been raised, and the next plan was quickly and decisively launched. All the races of the Alliance immediately dispatched rescue fleets and warships to the protected area.
They didn’t know if there were more Qitu people behind Saath, but this time, they will definitely not follow down the road of that murder case many years ago and lower their guard.
The meeting was about to end and all decisions have been issued. His Majesty Seidong was also preparing to close the communication with Duke Seidon, but at this time, AnYi suddenly brought up a topic that attracted everyone’s attention.
“Speaking of the accident that year, we still haven’t figured out what kind of experiments the Qitu people are doing to this day. They suddenly killed so many of our clansmen overnight. In the end, what results have they achieved through that reckless madness?” AnYi touched his chin, his gaze darkening as he pondered.
After hearing this, everyone immediately considered the issue and did not leave the conference room immediately.
On the virtual screen, Lord Randt thought for a moment and said to AnYi, “One thing is undoubted and well-known by all; what they covet most is our strong physique and innate ability. They’ve lost their motherstar, and have completely lost the opportunity to evolve their ability and advance their physiques during their long interstellar drifting!
“The motherstar is the most fundamental and significant existence to a race. There is no alternative planet that is more suitable for our survival than the motherstar that gave birth to us in the first place. We have spent hundreds of millions of years in the environment of our motherstar which is most suitable for us and has evolved into having various powerful talents and abilities of today. The Qitu Race basically don’t have this opportunity.”
“I’m aware.” Hearing this, AnYi nodded and then said, “At the time, after the clean-up operation, all their experiment’s data and materials have disappeared. We decided that they were extinct, so we didn’t continue to investigate. But now that the Qitu clan has reappeared, that original experiment must also be in progress. Then, does that mean that the current zombie virus is the final result of their research?”
Duke Seidon couldn’t help connecting this with the battle earlier and felt very much in agreement. The Qitu remnant, a single individual, had used innumerable abilities, which completely exceeded the Qitu Race’s original weak image. What he used at the time was the so-called ability core, which was obviously remodeled from the virus.
MoYan nodded as well. Remembering the various strange abilities that he had seen on Earth, he said, “I think it’s possible. This zombie virus should be their final result.
“We have found a total of four states of the humans on Earth. The first is becoming a zombie, an unfeeling and brainless walking corpse; the second is changing into a zombie king, which is also a zombie but has consciousness and can use and control ability core. The third type is normal humans who have awakened abilities. Some of their abilities are very similar to ours. For example, Earth’s Xie Jun and Liu Dashan are very similar to the abilities of your Qijiang Race! Back then, the Qitu people murdered so many of our clansmen for experimentation. These similar abilities are certainly related to that. The last type is the ordinary people who haven’t changed. They are extremely prone to zombie infection and becoming new zombies.” MoYan said such a long string of words that his mouth was a little dry and he took a drink of water from a cup.
Xiao WuYi beside him also nodded. “No wonder I felt that the abilities on Earth were very familiar. Thinking carefully, from almost all the kinds of abilities that appeared on Earth, we can find similar ones among us!!”
At this time, everyone also began to carefully read the many information materials about Earth brought back by MoYan. His Majesty Seidong noticed the great simultaneous coma everyone on the Earth experienced at the beginning of the apocalypse. “If it can mutate and differentiate people into four states, this virus may not be generally called zombie virus.”
“It doesn’t matter what it’s name is!” Xiao WuYi carefully recalled the scene at the beginning of the apocalypse, and added, “Speaking of which, I was also in a coma at the beginning, but the final result only made me recover my original ability. I didn’t remember anything after being stranded on Earth, but it restored my storage ability in advance.
“So, this virus might not enable us to catalyze mutations. At most, just like what happened to me, it can return my original abilities because this virus originally came from research on us and is harmless to us.” Xiao WuYi boldly guessed.
MoYan suddenly remembered the situation of his Sislow-induced amnesia. His ability was suddenly taken away after a coma, and before that, it was obviously because his memory was blocked. Meanwhile, Sislow and Possier did not receive the slightest influence from the crisis.
“Perhaps it really is.” MoYan nodded.
1. I haven’t seen any trace of power nuclei in these past chapters. If you know, you know.2. It said ‘his’ but as WuYi is referring to the zombie virus, I put it as ‘it’.3. MoYan can still turn into mist back then, so this might be referring to his ability to transform into human from tiger.
