Chapter 342 Accepting Fate

  Unlike the people and white-haired monsters who disappeared suddenly upon touching the droplet, nor turning into ashes like the last white-haired monster, An Wenshan did neither.

  An Wenshan's body transformed into a viscous fluid, which was then quickly absorbed by the meteorite.

  Han Yu, Fatty, and Rou Yi witnessed the entire process of An Wenshan being absorbed by the meteorite, and they were all somewhat psychologically disturbed.

  In people's inherent perception, the human body, apart from body fluids, exists in solid form. The sudden transformation of a person into liquid was beyond the realm of normal human cognition.

  Zhao Chenguang was very satisfied with the process of An Wenshan being absorbed by the meteorite. He smiled slightly and said to Han Yu, "Dr. Han, it's your turn!"

  Han Yu was expressionless. She took a step forward, came to the meteorite, and prepared to touch it.

  Han Yu reached out her hand, hovering ten centimeters above the meteorite, ready to face death calmly as before.

  Han Yu did not look back at Fatty and Rou Yi again. She knew that if she looked one more time, she would be even more reluctant, influencing her judgment and affecting her decision.

  Han Yu put her other hand into the innermost pocket of her clothes.

  In that instant, Han Yu was stunned.

  Crap...

  She discovered that the very important "secret weapon" in her pocket, the one that could determine the outcome, was gone.

  This weapon was made by her after a long period of painstaking effort, based on her predictions of the meteorite, consuming a lot of manpower and resources.

  The filling in the secret weapon was a special material, something not found on Earth. This substance was collected by the Z organization over hundreds of years, searching for meteorites that fell to Earth, checking and collecting them one by one, and only found on a very few fallen objects that contained this rare substance from beyond Earth.

  Making this rare substance into a "weapon" that could deal with special substances like meteorites and droplets was even more difficult. Han Yu used the Z organization, exhausting a large number of scientific research teams, and finally created this only one.

  ...

  Han Yu suddenly thought of something...

  She suddenly recalled An Wenshan's dilapidated body and his eerie face, as well as the whole process from his appearance to walking in front of her, and then transforming into a fluid and entering the meteorite.

  During that time, An Wenshan, because he couldn't stand steadily, grabbed her shoulder. Later, when An Wenshan turned around, he lost his balance and almost fell, accidentally pushing her...

  Thinking of this, Han Yu gasped.

  Could it be that An Wenshan's fall against her was really an accident?

  Han Yu continued to think back. She remembered that after she helped An Wenshan up, An Wenshan patted her shoulder several times again. This behavior was very deliberate and unnecessary.

  Han Yu suddenly became alert—yes, that's right, An Wenshan's act of patting her shoulder was intentional—before leaving, An Wenshan first patted her shoulder heavily, and then quickly patted it three times.

  This rhythm...

  When Li Decha handed this weapon to Han Yu, he introduced how to use this weapon, which looked like a light tube and was called the microparticle device.

  The microparticle device had a fail-safe design. If you press and hold the button for three seconds, the light would flash, and then quickly press it three times, the device would be activated. The designed activation time was three seconds after the last press of the button.

  Han Yu thought that when Li Decha handed her the microparticle device and explained the principle of its use, An Wenshan was nearby. An Wenshan saw where Han Yu placed the device and how to use it, and he also heard it.

  "Press and hold for three seconds", "Quickly press three times", "Wait three seconds"...

  These three steps completely matched the actions An Wenshan took when he said goodbye to her!

  It turned out that An Wenshan's action of patting her shoulder was intentional. First, he activated the microparticle device he stole from Han Yu's pocket; second, he reminded Han Yu that he would complete the rest of Han Yu's task.

  Han Yu didn't expect that An Wenshan, seemingly a rough person, was actually so meticulous and could deduce the usage and timing of the microparticle device.

  An Wenshan was truly not a simple person, decisive in his actions and strong in comprehension.

  If there hadn't been this series of events, An Wenshan would have become one of the leaders of the Z organization...

  While Han Yu was thinking, Zhao Chenguang was waiting for her to act, but he saw that Han Yu had been frozen in place for too long, so he urged, "It's your turn, Han Yu!"

  Han Yu instantly woke up from her thoughts. She glanced at the meteorite and found that nothing strange had happened after the meteorite absorbed An Wenshan.

  Could it be that the microparticle device didn't work?

  Judging from the current situation, the microparticle device seemed to have really failed.

  Han Yu sighed in disappointment.

  She didn't expect the final outcome to be like this.

  Han Yu felt numb all over. She felt that all her efforts and forbearance over the years had been in vain.

  "Okay, if that's the case, then so be it."

  Han Yu tried her best and had no regrets. In the face of advanced civilization, she was just one step away from success.

  Han Yu resigned herself to fate.

  She adjusted her mood and directly pressed her hand on the warm yellow meteorite...
