《Croceus croceus》E15
Episode 15
Wu Xie moved forward unswervingly, and finally arrived at the “Mysterious Magic Box” and “Mound Cave” mentioned by his predecessors.He walked step by step, focusing his eyes on the top of the larger mound in the center. A key was clearly in front of him, it was the last key he had been looking for for a long time.Just as he was about to reach out to pick it up, a gunshot rang out behind him, and then a shell roared and exploded beside him. The bright light and impact made him lose consciousness instantly.
Time passed like fine sand passing through the fingertips. Wu Xie woke up in a haze. The last thing he remembered was the anxious call of the fat man and the urgency of the invasion of foreigners.He eagerly asked the medical staff beside him, but learned that it was Zhang Haike who bought the three of them lives at the cost of the key.The foreigners have marched towards the snow-capped mountains with their keys, but a new flame ignited in Wu Xie's heart - he vowed to end the Night King's threat with his own hands.During the long days in the hospital, he not only waited for the fat man to wake up, but also strengthened his determination to go deep into the snow-capped mountains.
It was dark at night, and Wu Xie walked into Fatty's ward to say goodbye. Unexpectedly, the lights in the room suddenly went out, and the surroundings fell into chaos. He seemed to be sucked into another time and space.There, Zhang Qiling appeared, affirmed his courage with approving eyes, and gave him another key. The two keys combined to open up new hope.However, this was just a dream. Wu Xie woke up and found himself in a secret room, holding the magical key in his hand.On the way forward, he came across seven headless corpses. Thinking of the test mentioned by Zhang Haike, he became filled with doubts.The appearance of the fat man broke his meditation, and it turned out that his previous experiences were all illusions.
Faced with Zhang Haike's silence, Wu Xie used explosives to force him to demand the truth.Zhang Haike finally revealed that behind this lies the deep hatred between Zhang Nian and Zhang Qiling, as well as Zhang Nian's persistent pursuit of the dream of immortality.That disastrous laboratory showdown not only destroyed Zhang Nian's research, but also took away the life of his beloved. Since then, Zhang Nian has been filled with endless hatred for Zhang Qiling and his goals.
