    Chapter 272: Pollution Value

    Pei Yanlie saw Zhou Zhou staring at the doorway with a face full of astonishment, unmoving, as if trapped in a nightmare. He quickly lowered his voice and called out, “Zhou Zhou, can you hear me?”

    Zhou Zhou’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. He stiffly turned his neck, his gaze shifting to Pei Yanlie, his eyes filled with disbelief.

    The handsome face so close was extremely clear, yet Pei Yanlie’s face was so perfect that he couldn’t find even the slightest flaw.

    [What kind of man is this? His pores are finer than a woman’s.]

    “Pei Yanlie, are you actually a CG person?”

    Hearing this abrupt question, Pei Yanlie’s eyes flickered slightly, puzzled. “Why do you ask that?”

    “Normal people’s faces basically have flaws of varying sizes, but your face is too perfect. Obviously, it’s not associated with normal people.”

    Zhou Zhou’s hoarse voice was laced with obvious excitement. He raised his hand, gradually regaining strength, and clung to Pei Yanlie’s shoulder. He moved closer to him, their noses touching, intimately close.

    [Is this the influence of the R Particle?]

    [Strange, why can’t I hear Pei Yanlie’s inner thoughts?]

    [As expected, a general-level is awesome. The concealment of his inner thoughts is super high.]

    Pei Yanlie stared directly into his clear, bright eyes, as captivating as obsidian. He clearly saw that his face was reflected in the other’s eyes. His heart skipped a beat for no reason, followed by an uncontrollable, rapid heartbeat, heavy and rapid, with no rhythm at all.

    His chest rose and fell, and he couldn’t help but kiss Zhou Zhou’s eyes, saying in a hoarse voice, “Zhou Zhou, can your eyes see now?”

    Zhou Zhou blinked, his moist, long eyelashes fluttering. A nasal voice sounded, “Yes, I can see and hear.”

    Pei Yanlie had always loved Zhou Zhou’s captivating phoenix eyes the most. Now, he clearly felt the change in these eyes, incredibly bright. Just a glance at them made people willingly sink into them, unable to extricate themselves.

    He was dazed for a moment, then quickly regained his clarity. He narrowed his eyes slightly and shifted his gaze slightly. “Zhou Zhou, tell me, does anywhere else on your body hurt?”

    He brushed aside Zhou Zhou’s wet bangs and gently stroked his reddened eyes with his fingertips.

    Zhou Zhou moved his limbs. Other than feeling a little sore and weak, he didn’t feel any more pain.

    On the contrary, Pei Yanlie’s expression was a little strange, as if he was Endure something. A strange fragrance was constantly pouring into his body, causing his blood to feel like it was burning, bringing an obvious sense of heat.

    “Pei Yanlie, are you feeling unwell anywhere?” Zhou Zhou reached out and touched his forehead, clearly feeling his temperature rising rapidly.

    [Crap, it must be the radiation from the R Particle in my body that’s causing this.]

    Within a short three seconds, the feeling of heat spread throughout his body. Pei Yanlie clenched his teeth, and the consciousness in his mind slowly dissipated. His deep eyes darkened, and he parted his thin lips slightly, “It’s good that you’re alright, Zhou Zhou. I need to sleep for a while, don’t be afraid.”

    As soon as he finished speaking, he unwillingly closed his eyes, his chin falling weakly on Zhou Zhou’s shoulder, and fell into a coma.

    Zhou Zhou’s pupils shrank sharply, his expression changing drastically. He quickly shook his shoulders, anxiously calling out, “Pei Yanlie, don’t scare me, what’s wrong with you? Wake up, Pei Yanlie!”

    From the time he met this man until now, it was the first time he had seen him faint. In his subconscious, this man was an existence that no one could shake, but now he was actually because of him…

    Because of himself…

    Zhou Zhou’s breathing stagnated, his eyes becoming increasingly dark, with a faint white mist lingering around his pupils. The staff members who were looking around at the door saw the general faint and couldn’t help but scream. Alarms sounded one after another.

    “Warning! Warning! According to the test results, the pollution value is about to exceed the highest threshold of the protective device. Please evacuate the residents within a ten-mile radius as soon as possible!”

    “Warning! Warning! According to the test…”

    “Beep—”

    A rapid sound came from the broadcast.

    “All personnel in the research institute, for your personal safety, please evacuate outside of ten miles as soon as possible!”

    “According to monitoring data, the pollution value in the east side of Area C has exceeded one thousand. The specific pollution value cannot be predicted, and the radiation is extremely high. Please evacuate the crowd as soon as possible…”

    The broadcast sound was continuous. Zhou Zhou’s parents felt as if their minds had been struck by a heavy hammer, and they were plunged into a huge panic.

    Chaotic footsteps quickly approached. Six soldiers wearing federal army uniforms and protective masks rushed over.

    “Everyone, time waits for no one, please go to the safe passage to leave this place immediately.”

    An undeniable male voice was transmitted through the mask into Zhou’s mother’s ears.

    Her face was filled with horror, and she took a few steps backward, turning around and violently hitting the door of the isolation room, screaming in a hoarse voice, “No, I can’t leave, Zhou Zhou is still inside! I’m not leaving! Old Zhou! What to do… Let go of me!”

    The pain in Zhou’s father’s eyes was unconcealed. He had some understanding of pollution values. This was a general term for objects with high radiation levels or strong infectivity.

    Under normal circumstances, objects with a pollution value lower than 100 had a negligible impact on the human body. Nowadays, the highest threshold of protective devices on the market was one thousand. Exceeding this value would cause the protective device to be unable to withstand the pressure and explode.

    At that time, the isolation room would definitely be affected by the explosion, and a large amount of polluting substances would leak out.

    “The general is still inside, are you not going to care about him either!” Zhou’s father forced himself to calm down, standing in front of Zhou’s mother, and sternly scolded, his trembling hands showing his panic and despair.

    The leading man looked inside through the thick glass. However, a thick white mist had enveloped the isolation room at some point, making it impossible to see the situation inside.

    “Evacuate all personnel in the research institute before the rescue, please don’t delay. Staying here will only affect the rescue speed!”

    Zhou’s mother covered her mouth, stifling her sobs, “Zhou Zhou…”

    In the end, the two were forcibly pulled away from the research institute. Zhou’s mother’s emotions were too intense, and she couldn’t bear it for a moment, fainting in Zhou’s father’s arms.

    “All residents of the Starry Sky, please stop what you are doing at this moment and listen carefully to the following broadcast! We are now forced to face the threat of the R Particle. The radiation results caused by this pollutant to the human body are unpredictable. According to the latest research reports, individual organisms have undergone serious mutations after receiving a quantitative dose of radiation, and their entire body organs fail and die in less than an hour. Please do not have any luckypsychological, follow the command of the army, and go to the designated location for refuge immediately!”

    As the global broadcast sounded, all residents of the planet stopped their work and looked up at the calm blue sky, thinking they were hallucinating.

    “R Particle? I didn’t hear wrong, did I?”

    “Is that the black hole-derived substance that releases mental radiation and causes severe hallucinations?”

    “What do you mean evacuate immediately, this is our home, our roots, where do you want me to evacuate to?!”

    “It’s Starry Sky 4026 now, and we, as Starry Sky New Humans, are actually facing a catastrophic disaster?!”

    “I suspect I’m still dreaming, who’s going to slap me?!”

    “Smack!” A palm wind swept over.

    “Ah!” The man’s howl resounded through the clouds.

    The man who had been slapped covered his throbbing cheek, muttering in fear, “It’s not a dream, this is real, are you sure you’re not kidding? This is definitely the biggest joke in history!”

    “Impossible, this isn’t real, what bullshit apocalypse! #**##!” The man, stimulated by the apocalypse, pointed at the sky and cursed.

    “Oh my god! The apocalypse… is the apocalypse coming!”
