Those who travel back in time

Chapter 32 The Tragedy Cannot Be Changed

In the movie theater, after the older brother used a fire extinguisher to knock down a zombie that was attacking him, a well-trained squad suddenly appeared. They methodically cleared the zombies from the street and took the older brother into a black car.

Just as he was about to get in, the car door slammed shut and drove away!

He watched helplessly as his brother struggled and thrashed inside the car, trying to get out, but was held tightly by someone.

"Come with me." Others led him away, protecting him as he left the chaotic streets.

That was the last time Chen Qing saw her brother.

For the next twenty years of his life, he tried to figure out who had "kidnapped" his brother.

In 2042, he and his companions went out to collect supplies, but encountered a zombie horde, and all of his companions died at the hands of the zombies.

Just when he thought he would follow in his companions' footsteps, a powerful warrior suddenly appeared and attacked him.

Even after twenty years, Chen Qing recognized him at a glance—it was her brother!

For the past twenty years, my brother has never given up searching for him!

He finally found himself.

The older brother was well-equipped and skilled, and after a fierce battle, he wiped out all the remaining zombies.

Just when he thought he had finally reunited with his brother, he discovered that his brother's eyes had turned gray...

He had already been bitten by a zombie during the fight.

Before he could lose his senses, the older brother threw his weapon to him and fled frantically.

He had to escape before he completely turned into a zombie.

After being reunited after twenty years, how could Chen Qing let his brother leave like that? He chased after him relentlessly.

He caught up.

But the older brother has already turned into a zombie.

Chen Qing raised his machete high, but no matter what he did, he couldn't cut down.

Then, Chen Qing was bitten.

He thought he was going to die.

But he wasn't afraid; dying alongside his brother wouldn't be painful at all.

One is the memory of her brother not being taken away at the movie theater entrance, and the other is the memory of being taken away. Two completely different lives exist simultaneously in Chen Qing's mind.

This wasn't just a matter of a day or two; a full twenty years of brand-new memories were crammed into the brain in an instant.

Chen Qing felt like her head was a balloon that had been blown in with too much air in an instant, and it was about to burst at any moment.

"Mr. Chen, what's wrong?" Li Qilin asked, seeing the pain on Chen Qing's face.

"It's nothing." Chen Qing covered her head with one hand and held onto the windowsill with the other, standing there for a minute before she recovered.

But his complexion was still not good.

It wasn't because of physical reasons, but because he failed in his attempt to save his brother.

His return to the past this time was actually a pretext; he was ostensibly there for clues about the Tuibei Tower, but that was just an excuse. His main purpose was to save his brother.

Fang Xiande's proposed solutions kept going wrong, not only failing to save the world but also causing one person's death. To be honest, he no longer trusted Fang Xiande, so he decided to save his brother using his own method.

His plan actually succeeded because Li Qilin intervened, and his brother did not die in that warehouse.

To eliminate the error in the warehouse and save his brother's life, that was why he initially agreed to Fang Xiande's time travel.

Now, he has successfully corrected the warehouse error and saved his brother's life.

But it seems that this doesn't make any sense.

My brother didn't die in the warehouse, but he still died in the apocalypse.

"Only by stopping the apocalypse can I truly save my brother." At this moment, Chen Qing's mindset changed.

Although his previous time travels were all about completing Fang Xiande's missions to prevent the end of the world, what motivated him to complete these missions was still saving his brother.

He never considered saving the world as his mission.

But now, he's starting to really see preventing the end of the world as his mission.

"What did you all talk about?" Li Mengfei pushed open the door and walked in.

"We haven't even started talking yet." Li Qilin walked to the door, peeked out to see if Bian Meihong and her daughter had come over, and then said to Chen Qing, "Mr. Chen, I've actually found some clues about the person who stole the serum three years ago, but I don't know if these clues are useful."

"What did you find out?" Chen Qing asked.

"At the time, one of the thieves was changing clothes in the tool shed when a female employee noticed a yin-yang symbol tattoo on his arm. However, she was threatened at the time and didn't dare to say anything."

"As expected, they are from Tuibeilou." Chen Qing was not surprised at all.

"Tuibeilou?" Li Qilin and Li Mengfei both perked up their ears at the same time.

"Tuibeilou is a ruthless organization. They created the zombies and caused the apocalypse..." Chen Qing told Li Qilin and his daughter about the information she had obtained from 2044.

"So the current situation is a conflict between a person who actually comes from the future and someone who can predict the future?" Li Mengfei summarized.

"What nonsense are you spouting in front of Mr. Chen!" Li Qilin frowned.

"Fight, or confrontation, PK, it's all the same thing." Li Mengfei quickly changed a few words.

"President Li, we don't have any more detailed information about Tuibeilou yet. We don't know how to find them, nor do we know who their members are," Chen Qing stated his purpose. "President Li has access to far more resources than we can in the future. If it's convenient, please also conduct an investigation into this organization in the past."

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I will use all the resources at my disposal to investigate them," Li Qilin promised.

"Then I'll wait for Mr. Li's good news." Chen Qing stood up. "I'll come again in ten days."

After Chen Qing left, Li Mengfei asked Li Qilin, "Dad, that's really crazy. Why would someone do something like destroying the world?"

"Didn't Mr. Chen say that this is a 'great purge'?"

"Isn't this so-called Great Purge just creating zombies to destroy the world? To avoid one apocalypse, we create another? Because billions of people have died from zombies, that's even more brutal than the so-called apocalypse! Killing so many people can prevent the apocalypse? What kind of logic is that?"

"We can't understand the thinking of madmen." Li Qilin didn't dwell on that. "I don't want to know why these madmen want to destroy the world. I only know that I must stop them. Mengfei, don't worry, I will never let you live in such a future."

"Dad, this Tuibeilou (a building name) might be hard to find."

"No matter how hard it is to find them, we must find them!"

"Qilin, your friend is here again." The father and daughter were talking when they heard Bian Meihong call out from the living room.

Li Qilin walked out of the study and saw Chen Qing reappear in the living room. He led Chen Qing into the study and asked in surprise, "Mr. Chen, didn't you just leave?"

"For you, I have just left, but for me, ten days have passed," Chen Qing said.
