I suddenly pushed General Hu aside and lunged toward Zhao Mengmeng, shielding her beneath me.
"Mengmeng, are you okay?" I asked anxiously.
Zhao Mengmeng shook her head, tears welling in her eyes. "Brother Haotian, I'm scared!"
I held her tightly, a wave of fear washing over me.
I roared, "General Hu, you’re asking for death!"
Just as I was about to rise, a sharp pain shot through my head, as if my temples were about to explode.
I clutched my head, sweat pouring down uncontrollably.
"Hao Tian, what's wrong?" Si Tu Xiangnan rushed over to support me.
"I'm fine, just a little dizzy," I gritted my teeth and replied, forcing myself to stay upright.
"This is bad; I've noticed that sometimes your sweat isn't effective," Si Tu Xiangnan said with a frown.
A heaviness settled in my heart.
In truth, I had already realized that my sweat wasn't always effective.
Just like before, the Stinky Socks hadn't always worked either.
I analyzed the reasons, but I dared not speak to anyone about it.
Because the ineffective Stinky Socks were what I wore when I was throwing the game.
And the ineffective sweat was basically produced by me sweating through thick clothing.
I never expected that the Sweat gained from slacking off and from doing bad things would be of no use in the apocalypse.
At that moment, Li Fengzhu rushed over and kicked several zombies that were pouncing towards us away.
“Hao Tian, take a break. Leave this to me!” Li Fengzhu shouted loudly.
I nodded, knowing I couldn't be reckless right now.
I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down.
“Si Tu, what’s the situation now?” I asked.
“ General Hu hasn’t died; he’s secretly gathering the remaining forces,” Si Tu Xiangnan said with a serious expression. “They are likely to launch a final counterattack!”
“What?!” I was shocked; that bastard was indeed not so easy to kill.
“There’s worse news,” Si Tu Xiangnan continued. “Our people discovered a secret base nearby, and it might be hiding a Biochemical Weapon.”
A chill ran through my heart at the mention of "Biochemical Weapon." If General Hu succeeded, the entire city would be doomed!
I had to stop him!
I glanced at the distant ruins, a strong sense of responsibility igniting within me.
"Situ, Mengmeng, I leave this to you," I said slowly, rising with determination in my eyes. "I need to destroy those Biochemical Weapons."
"No, it's too dangerous!" Jiang Jie quickly protested.
"That's right, Brother Haotian, we can't let you go alone!" Zhao Mengmeng tugged at my sleeve.
"Trust me, I can do this," I reassured them, my tone filled with unwavering conviction.
I pulled a piece of paper from my pocket and quickly scribbled a few lines before handing it to Situ Xiangnan.
"Take care of everyone," I said, looking into Situ Xiangnan's eyes earnestly.
He took the note, knowing that once I made a decision, no one could change my mind.
I turned and walked towards the ruins, each step firm and resolute.
The night wind brushed against my face; I could feel the fatigue in my body, but I knew I had to keep going.
This is not just for myself, but for those who trust me.
I wove through the ruins, surrounded by crumbling walls and an eerie atmosphere.
At last, I found the secret base—a massive underground entrance.
Taking a deep breath, I stepped inside without hesitation.
The interior of the base was filled with a pungent chemical smell, with complex pipes and instruments everywhere.
I saw those Biochemical Weapons—huge tanks filled with unknown liquids.
I had to destroy them!
Just then, General Hu appeared, standing before me with a sinister smile on his face.
"Jiang Haotian, you actually came," General Hu sneered. "Did you really think you could stop me?"
" General Hu, your scheme will not succeed!" I shouted angrily.
"Hahaha, do you think you're still a hero? You're past your prime; your Sweat is running low, hahaha!" General Hu mocked, pointing at me.
I let out a cold laugh. My Sweat was indeed nearly depleted, but I still had one last trick up my sleeve!
I charged at General Hu, tackling him to the ground.
I straddled him, raining down punch after punch on his face.
"You bastard, how many people have you killed?" I shouted in fury.
General Hu's face was bruised and battered as he begged for mercy.
"Stop, please! I was wrong! I won't do it again!" he pleaded.
"It's too late!" I roared, pulling out a dagger and plunging it fiercely into General Hu's heart.
"Thud!"
Blood splattered as General Hu's eyes widened in disbelief and terror.
I stood up, surveying the area, summoning the last of my strength to destroy all the Biochemical Weapons.
"Boom!"
A deafening explosion shook the entire base violently.
I felt a wave of dizziness wash over me, and my vision blurred.
I collapsed weakly among the ruins, my consciousness gradually fading.
I seemed to see Zhao Mengmeng crying, Li Fengzhu shouting in anger, and Jiang Jie bandaging wounds.
Would they… would they be okay?
Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice—Jiang Jie’s voice.
“Hao Tian, what does the note you left me mean?”
I struggled to open my eyes, but I couldn’t see anything clearly.
As my awareness continued to dissipate, I seemed to hear Jiang Jie analyzing my sweat.
“It’s not Socks itself, but the diligent Sweat; it’s the love for the survivors that gives it strength…”
The corners of my mouth lifted slightly, a trace of a comforting smile appearing on my face.
So that’s how it is…
I slowly closed my eyes, and my consciousness completely vanished.
