Wang Ran looked at the navigation and said, "Tell me about you Apostles of Doom."
"What do you mean by 'you' Doomsday Apostles?" Bai Fan said dissatisfiedly, "It's them, the Doomsday Apostles! I have already drawn a clear line between myself and those psychopaths!"
Bai Fan joined in order to save his childhood sweetheart who was brainwashed by the Apostle of Doom. He was not on the same page with the Apostle of Doom to begin with, and he was almost killed by the Apostle of Doom just now.
He is very angry now.
Wang Ran asked nonchalantly, "Besides you, are there any other extraordinary people among the Apostles of Doom?"
He originally thought that there would be no extraordinary people among the Apostles of Doom before the awakening ceremony, so he could rush in and kill without any scruples.
But Bai Fan changed his mind.
He now wanted to know how many extraordinary people the Apostles of Doom had so that he could make the next plan.
Bai Fan sighed and said, "The first nine Apostles of Doom are all extraordinary beings. Originally, only No. 4 and I were in Yong'an City, but since you exposed them, I think they will transfer a few back."
Wang Ran was surprised: "So many?"
He remembered that Shi Si said that the extraordinary genes were silenced by the First Emperor Ying Zheng through some means, and since the Qin Dynasty more than two thousand years ago, almost no one has awakened extraordinary abilities.
How come there are so many extraordinary people among the Apostles of Doom
"There is a gene in the human body that controls extraordinary abilities. The Apostles of Doom call this gene the extraordinary gene." Bai Fan explained, "Two thousand years ago, no one knows what happened. The extraordinary genes in all human bodies have become dormant."
Wang Ran nodded slowly.
This part of the information is consistent with what Shisi told him.
"Later, only those with extremely strong extraordinary genes could awaken on their own. I am one of them." Bai Fan said proudly, "Two thousand years ago, I would have been a legendary figure!"
Wang Ran curled his lips and didn't want to respond.
"In addition to self-awakening, it can also be stimulated by external objects." Bai Fan continued, "The big guy underground will secrete a substance that stimulates extraordinary genes from time to time. The Apostles of Doom call this substance spiritual substance."
Wang Ran recalled a previous simulation.
While exploring underground, he encountered a glowing plain. He fell into a coma after breathing the glowing powder on the plain. After waking up, his mind became sharper.
Are those glowing powders spiritual substances
Bai Fan continued, "Whenever a spiritual overflow occurs—when the giant creature underground secretes spiritual substances—they will collect these spiritual substances and send them to the laboratory for extraction and purification."
"However, spiritual overflow events are very unstable. The location and duration of occurrence are very random. Sometimes we can't find it, and sometimes it's over when we rush over. And the content is very small."
Bai Fan sighed, "I don't know how many hundreds of years the Apostles of Doom accumulated to gather enough energy to awaken eight people in this generation, and then they all went all in at once!"
Wang Ran was surprised and asked, "They have been planning to destroy the world for hundreds of years?"
Bai Fan nodded: "I haven't studied their history in detail, but it can at least be traced back to a prince in the Song Dynasty, because the ancestors of the No. 4 family have been apostles of the end of the world."
Wang Ranmei frowned and said, "You haven't changed your goal in hundreds of years?"
Bai Fan shook his head: "It has never changed."
Wang Ran was silent.
He originally thought that the Apostles of Doom were just a cult organization that discovered the underground giant beast by accident. He never expected that the Apostles of Doom were actually a behemoth with a long heritage.
For hundreds of years, his determination to destroy the world has never wavered...
It's a bit creepy just listening to it.
Wang Ran frowned and asked, "Why are they so persistent?"
As a behemoth that has been passed down for hundreds of years, the connections and wealth accumulated by the Apostles of Doom must be amazing. How could they be willing to abandon everything they have now
Awaken the behemoth and give up everything just to build a civilization of extraordinary people that may or may not be better than the current one
Do you want to eat fried cakes
"I don't understand either. Number Four said it was because of a prophecy on a mural." Bai Fan pursed his lips. "I haven't seen the mural with my own eyes, but Number Four said that the mural predicted a future that is much more terrifying than the resurrection of the giant beast."
He hesitated and said, "No. 4 said... the Apostle of Doom is saving the world."
Wang Ran was stunned.
"But I think this is the cult's rhetoric to brainwash ordinary people!" Bai Fan said firmly, "The prophecy is bullshit! The Mayans also predicted the end of the world in 2012!"
Wang Ran was silent for two seconds and then nodded slowly.
The future where the giant beast resurrects means countless people will die and only one will survive. He couldn't imagine a future more terrifying than this.
Is it the extinction of mankind
But the death of countless people and the survival of only one person is almost the same as the extinction of mankind. We can't exterminate ourselves just to avoid extinction, right
He couldn't figure it out.
He temporarily suppressed his doubts and changed the subject: "Compared between you and the other eight people, who is better?"
The number of extraordinary people among the Apostles of Doom exceeded his imagination, and his original plan of rushing through them in one breath was no longer appropriate.
He wondered how many enemies Baifan could withstand.
"Uh!" Bai Fan suddenly hesitated, "If we were in the water, in a place suitable for me to perform, I should probably be a little better than them..."
Cai Qing's expression couldn't hide his guilty conscience.
Wang Ran asked, "What about on land?"
Bai Fan's voice weakened: "I am no match for them on land."
Wang Ran was a little puzzled: "Didn't you say that your extraordinary genes are very powerful and you could become a mythical figure if you went back two thousand years? How come you can only stand in the water?"
"No matter how talented you are, you can't compare to someone who takes drugs!"
No matter how long it lasts, it’s not as good as applying magic oil!
Bai Fan said unwillingly: "The power in my body has been used to revive the extraordinary genes. I don't have enough stamina and my abilities are almost undeveloped! If I also had spiritual substances to use, I would definitely be stronger than them!"
Wang Ran asked in confusion: "They don't allow you to use spiritual substances?"
Bai Fan gritted his teeth and said, "I'm a new member. They don't believe me. They said that only my grandchildren will be qualified to use spiritual substances!"
The Apostles of Doom are indeed an organization with a long heritage. They call themselves grandchildren as soon as they open their mouths, which shows the foundation of the organization!
Wang Ran opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
After a while, he sighed and said, "It seems that I can't count on you."
The Apostles of Doom are huge monsters. They must have accumulated a huge network of contacts and wealth. Even the law enforcers in Yong'an City may have members of the Apostles of Doom!
If there is a traitor among the law enforcers, that would explain why Bai Fan's USB flash drive was not taken seriously.
"I have to be careful about people stabbing me in the back."
Wang Ran thought that he couldn't cooperate too closely with the law enforcers, otherwise the Apostle of Doom might know what he was going to do next earlier than Bai Fan.
We are outnumbered, how can we break this situation
