Excessive ferocity due to caution

Upon seeing the original, Zhao Yi sat in the ergonomic chair that Austin had previously sat in, crossed his legs, and said:

"When did you start targeting me?"

The first generation laughed:

"I've been watching you ever since you injured Sudi."

Zhao Yi said in surprise:

"Is Sudi one of your people too?"

The first generation squinted:

"Don't you think... a wild Tier 3 Infected is a bit too out of place?"

Zhao Yi clicked his tongue and said:

"Too."

"There are very few Tier 3 infected in this world... Now it seems that you created them all on purpose."

"You want to use them to keep an eye on the Human Federation?"

First generation head shake:

"I don't need to keep an eye on these selfish and ruthless guys at all... As long as they see even the slightest bit of benefit, these guys will rush forward like mad dogs."

"With my eyes closed, just by listening to these dogs barking, I can tell exactly what they want to do."

"I created these Tier 3 infected individuals simply because I was selecting... a substitute."

"But I failed..."

Zhao Yi lowered his head, thought seriously for a moment, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"You want to cultivate them into fourth-tier infected, so they can attract the attention of the Forgotten Walkers instead of you?"

The first generation praised:

"This is the first time I've met someone as intelligent as you."

"That's right!"

"I deliberately spent so much time dividing the Human Federation into four different factions, precisely to incite conflict among them..."

"When there's conflict, they'll want to win!"

"To win... they must acquire even greater power!"

"And I am their source of strength!"

Zhao Yi laughed:

"So, in this way, they'll have a constant stream of fresh test subjects for your research, right?"

"For a long time, almost all informed humans believed that you were being studied by them."

"Ironically... in fact, it's always been them who are being studied."

Seeing Zhao Yi's expression, the First Generation's tone was subtle:

"You must think I'm cruel..."

"But who could have imagined that the perpetrators of today are actually the victims of yesteryear?"

The pale light shone on Zhao Yijun's handsome face, yet also cast a deep shadow.

"I want to hear about the Forgotten Traveler."

The signal from the first generation was slightly erratic, but recovered after a moment.

She said:

"That was a long time ago."

That year marked a significant turning point in the transformation of human society.

"Our home planet's resources are gradually being depleted due to excessive exploitation by humans, and we are almost at the point of running out of resources."

"Human civilization is about to come to an end due to the depletion of resources."

"So the portion of humanity that controlled the resources began discussing migrating to nearby planets."

"Unfortunately, I happened to be an astronaut at the time."

At this point, the first generation's expression revealed a deep-seated fear!

"Far away, on a planet suitable for their migration, lies a dead planet..."

"Outside that planet, a terrifying phenomenon occurs—an astronaut larger than the planet itself crouches in space, silently observing this dead planet!"

"Although the hood over his head was transparent, it was pitch black inside, like an abyss, and you couldn't see anything at all..."

"To ensure the safety of the colony planet, those damned bastards actually used their high-level control over the spaceships to take control of my ship and send it flying towards that giant astronaut..."

"From beginning to end, no one asked for my opinion, and no one even told me in advance..."

"At that time, I was in the spaceship, looking at the giant astronaut's ever-growing black hood, and I felt only endless fear and loneliness..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi's heart skipped a beat.

He remembers.

He remembered seeing that giant astronaut on the Ark in the chaotic city!

An astronaut whose body is covered in the marks of time and whose body is larger than the stars!

"That giant astronaut... is that the Forgotten Walker?"

The first generation took a deep breath:

"Yes!"

"It is the source of the Black Disaster, and the culprit that turned me into the way I am today!"

Zhao Yi's gaze gradually sharpened:

"What happened next?"

Through the ambiguous images, he discovered that the first generation's body was trembling violently!

This projection is the embodiment of the first generation of spiritual power.

The fluctuations naturally represent the emotional reactions of the first generation!

"Those scum controlled the spaceship and flew up to the Forgotten Walker's hood..."

"I couldn't see what was inside... I just felt completely disoriented, as if everything in my life had been taken away from me..."

"I could hear whispers all around me, the voices of children, the constant rumbling and grinding of unlubricated machines... It almost drove me crazy!"

"Then I finally got close to the edge of the hood..."

"I saw inside..."

"I saw it..."

At this point, the first generation suddenly let out a chilling laugh, appearing almost insane.

Zhao Yi noticed that something was wrong with her and immediately shouted:

"Wake up!"

His words were like thunderclaps, instantly pulling the First Generation back from his madness!

"Feel sorry……"

The first generation's voice suddenly became extremely weak.

"I cannot describe what is inside... otherwise its gaze will fall upon me, and I will be trapped in endless eeriness..."

The viewers in Zhao Yi's live stream felt their eyelids twitch violently.

It is known that fourth-order infected individuals are quasi-high-risk...

How terrifying must an existence be that even a near-major evil spirit dares not contemplate or describe?

"Holy crap...you know what, Brother Zhao saw the Forgotten Walker on the Ark in the Chaotic City dungeon last time..."

"Sparrows! I was just shocked at first, but I never imagined that giant astronaut would be so terrifying..."

"Seriously... even a major inauspicious event wouldn't be this unsolvable, right? Are description and visualization not even allowed...?"

While the viewers in the live stream were discussing among themselves, the First Generation said to Zhao Yi in a cryptic tone:

"The Human Federation has seen countless infected people over the years... but you are definitely the most special one."

"I have never seen anyone who can control the power of the Touch of Oblivion..."

Zhao Yi shrugged:

"To put it bluntly... you want to gain the power of the Touch of Oblivion, that's impossible."

"Because I am not infected at all."

"Are there any other ways I can help you?"

The first generation said meaningfully:

"I just made up a reason..."

"Actually, I have no intention of acquiring this power."

"But... someone else has it."

Zhao Yi looked up:

"Go on."

First generation:

"There is a fourth-tier human infected in Pulse City... He has been hiding very well, so the Forgotten Walker has not noticed him."

"He should have been one of the 'study subjects' of the Forgotten Walkers."

"And he's more valuable for research than I am!"

"This guy evolved from an infection, unlike me, who gained power through close contact with the Forgotten Walkers."

"There are many uncertainties surrounding him!"

"And uncertainty...that's where the real value of research lies!"

The first generation became more and more excited as he spoke.

"I'm going crazy...it keeps staring at me..."

"Every time that look fell on me, I felt like my spirit was on the verge of collapse..."

"I saw my body melting, turning into all sorts of terrifying shapes..."

"If you can lure out that fourth-tier infected person in Pulse City, he will be discovered by the Forgotten Walkers, and then the Forgotten Walkers will shift their attention to him..."

"Please... help me!!"

"I'll give you anything you want... as long as you can free me from its gaze!!"

"I can't take it anymore..."

"I really can't take it anymore..."

"Once I'm free from its gaze, I can be truly liberated..."

P.S.: Still three updates today, starting with 2400 words.

Now let's write Chapter Two.

Rush!
