It had been a week, and Wang Chao showed no signs of waking up. Everyone was deeply concerned. During this week, the members of the Bioterrorism Security Department took time each day to talk to Wang Chao, discussing matters from the Safe Zone. What they didn't know was that it was precisely because of these daily conversations that Wang Chao had not lost himself in the chaos; instead, he was gradually finding his way back to the light.
The voices around him, once vague and indistinct, were becoming clearer. Compared to before, when they felt ethereal and elusive, now they seemed to hint at a direction.
“Gao Rui, Scientist Gao!” This time, beside Wang Chao was Da Qiang. Da Qiang had been sitting in front of Wang Chao, staring blankly at him. Just a moment ago, he noticed Wang Chao's fingers twitch slightly—a sign that had never appeared before. It seemed that Wang Chao might be on the verge of awakening. Gao Rui, who had been calculating something nearby, hurried over upon hearing Da Qiang's words.
The sound of slippers echoed loudly in the quiet room.
“What happened?” Gao Rui asked anxiously.
“He moved!” Da Qiang pointed at Wang Chao's finger.
Gao Rui looked over and indeed saw Wang Chao's fingers moving rhythmically and slowly. It appeared that his consciousness was gradually returning. Gao Rui quickly inputted a numerical formula into the equipment. At that moment, Little Wolf also stood up, pacing anxiously in front of the Container, worried about Wang Chao's condition. Meanwhile, Da Qiang ran out to call everyone into the room.
Soon after, all ten of Wang Chao's fingers began to move, followed by his entire hand, which started to grasp repeatedly. By this time, all the members of the Bioterrorism Security Department had arrived and witnessed this scene. They stepped forward and asked, “Gao Rui, what’s going on? Is Wang Chao about to wake up?”
Just then, everyone noticed that the Mastiff King’s claws were also moving. Seeing this, Gao Rui said, “The battle for their consciousness has reached a critical stage; it won't be long before we know who will prevail. At that point, it will be uncertain who gets fused with whom. However, if the one who wakes up is the Mastiff King, I will put their cells into dormancy immediately.”
“Are you saying Brother Wang will be okay?” Da Qiang asked anxiously. As a worker, he didn’t fully understand these technical discussions but quickly posed the question he cared about most.
Gao Rui shook his head and replied, “No. If the Mastiff King wakes up, it means Wang Chao's consciousness will likely disappear. What I'm doing is merely preserving Wang Chao's physical form until technology advances enough to find a solution. But who knows when that will be? Even with the technology available before the Zombie crisis, it wouldn’t have been possible—let alone now with equipment shortages.”
“So if Brother Wang can't defeat the Mastiff King, then it's basically impossible for him to wake up for the rest of his life!” Da Qiang continued.
"That's right!" Gao Rui nodded heavily.
The hearts of everyone surged with emotion at Gao Rui's words. When they heard the last sentence, their hearts sank; there was nothing they could do now but silently pray for Wang Chao.
"Wang Chao (Brother Wang), you must wake up!" This was the most direct desire and hope in everyone's heart at that moment. All eyes were fixed on Wang Chao. If he knew that for over a week, others had been staring at his naked body, he would surely want to find a hole to hide in. But now, Wang Chao felt an even stronger force tearing at him from all sides.
Yet, Wang Chao was drawn toward the source of the voice, a strange sensation that made him feel as if he were dreaming. Here, gravity felt both light and heavy; it seemed he could fly away, yet he also felt as if he were being crushed by something immensely heavy, tangled and contradictory. He sensed that the closer he moved toward the direction of the voice, the nearer he got.
"Look!" Da Qiang said again.
At Da Qiang's reminder, several women who had been praying with their eyes closed opened them. They saw the situation inside the glass container; the liquid was slowly disappearing, seemingly absorbed by this person and mastiff. At that moment, Wang Chao began to move slowly, and correspondingly, the Mastiff King did as well, like someone on the verge of waking up, unconsciously turning over.
Everyone's eyes were glued to the glass container, not daring to blink.
Gao Rui watched as characters flashed across the control panel; sometimes he grinned, sometimes he frowned. He said, "It's almost time; within five minutes, one will definitely disappear from this container and merge with another being!" As he spoke, Gao Rui placed his finger on a button on the control panel and said, "This is the hibernation button. If things go wrong, I will press it immediately!"
Just as Gao Rui finished speaking, suddenly the Mastiff King opened its eyes, but Wang Chao showed no signs of movement! Everyone gasped in shock; could it be that Wang Chao would sleep through his entire life?
Seeing this, Gao Rui frowned and was about to press the hibernation button to put both Wang Chao and the Mastiff King's cells into hibernation.
However, before Gao Rui could press it, Wu Wan'er, Yang Mengying, and Yiyi all spoke up in unison: "Wait a little longer!" Their voices echoed in the quiet environment, startling everyone. Yang Mengying continued, "Just wait a bit longer; I believe in him! He can't possibly be weaker than a mastiff! Just a little longer!"
"Alright, but no more than three minutes!" Gao Rui replied. "If he still doesn't wake up by then, I have to press the button!"
In the depths of Wang Chao's consciousness, he suddenly heard a voice coming from afar. This time it was clear, and he distinctly recognized the three voices belonging to Yiyi, Yang Mengying, and Wu Wan'er.
"Only two minutes left!" Gao Rui said.
At that moment, Wang Chao sprinted forward, each step leaving an imprint as if he were running under ten times the normal gravity!
"Only one minute remaining!" Gao Rui continued.
Ahead of him, Wang Chao could already sense that the source of the voices was within reach.
"Last ten seconds!" Gao Rui's fingers curled as they hovered over the button.
"Look!"
Suddenly, a burst of colorful light erupted from the Container, shattering the glass into countless shards. Fortunately, with Tang Feng and Da Qiang present to shield them from the bullet-like glass fragments, no one was injured. The brilliance was blinding, making it difficult for everyone to open their eyes, and Gao Rui had no time to press the button.
Everything was uncertain.
