Chapter 254 Gaining Intel
”There was no zombie apocalypse? What do you mean?” Rudy asked with a confused and curious look on his face. “I have read the news and enough articles about the damage and casualties. How can you say there was no apocalypse?””I never said there was no apocalypse. I said there was no zombie apocalypse.”
”…?”
”Let me explain.” Nyxia let out a weary sigh and said, “There was indeed an apocalypse, but it wasn’t a zombie apocalypse. It was something else.”
”I got that part when you said it the first time. I want to know why it wasn’t a zombie apocalypse?”
”Long story short, there was no zombie. Zombies don’t exist. They are undead.”
”Okay… that’s a fantasy term for a zombie…” Rudy nodded.
”How do you know about the so-called zombie apocalypse? That way, it would be easier to explain everything to you if we are on the same page.”
Rudy told everything he knew about the zombie apocalypse that he had learned after researching as much as he could in his free time.
”Hmm. So, according to you, the government wanted to create superhuman soldiers, so they performed an experiment called super-gene. But they failed, and that resulted in an apocalypse, correct?”
”Yes,” Rudy nodded in response.
”So first of all, you are writing about the human leaders wanting to make superhuman soldiers. But the experiment they called ‘super-gene’ is not the correct word for it,” Nyxia stated calmly.
She furrowed her brows and said, “Listen, this is extremely confidential information, and not many know about this. So don’t ever share this with anyone, you understand?”
”Earlier, you had my curiosity, but now you have my attention.”
”Humans… ever since the old times have always been crafty. They stole everything and took credit for the things that never belonged to them. They called it myths, called us fake, and drove us out. They made stories about us, stating we are monsters, which soon turned into fiction. There are many things that even your smartest scientists can’t explain, and they name advanced science. There was this other word, too… uhh… Quantum! Yes!”
The tone of Nyxia’s voice turned from calm to furious.
Rudy could feel how angry she was.
RUdy thought it would be best not to comment on anything. Otherwise, he would lose the source of valuable information.
”Tell me, boy. To whom does your world belong?” she asked with a lifeless glare in her eyes.
”Humans? I mean, it’s called the human world, so…”
”It wasn’t until a few thousand years ago. Precisely, a millennia ago. All the races used to live together in harmony, or so one would think.”
”…”
”There was never any harmony. You might get offended by what I am going to tell you, but it’s the truth written by my ancestors, even more, our Lord, who had seen and known everything from the beginning of the world.
A brief pause later, Nyxia stated, “Humans are petty. The pettiest race ever born. And I am being generous when I say that, by the way.”
”That’s a very offensive statement. But let’s hear how you justify it,” Rudy said calmly.
”Of course, not all humans, but most of them. Ever since forever, all the races have always helped humans evolve. They are a special race since they have this… soul in their body. But that’s another topic. Let’s not get distracted.”
”You see, it’s a simple thing. If someone wants something, but they can’t get it or achieve it, even by trying their best, and another person gets the thing without even trying, how would they feel?”
”Envy? Anger? Frustration?” Rudy guessed.
”Exactly. Here, the former ones are humans, and the latter ones are the other races who are obviously better than them in every single thing,” she scoffed arrogantly.
”What are you referring to? Sure, humans can’t achieve things like other races. They can’t fly. They can’t use magic or any other things you claim. And it’s natural for them to feel jealous. I would be jealous, too,” he responded with a shoulder shrug.
”The other races thought the same. After all, it was natural. So they came up with a solution. And that was what you call ‘super-gene’. Except here, it’s magic, not science. Obviously.”
Nyxia raised her finger in the air and let the water drop back into the pool from the tip of her finger.
”The experiment was nothing but a ritual to share their powers with the humans to make them strong like others.”
”Listen, I wasn’t there when all this happened, but one thing I am sure of is that there is no way the other races would be dumb enough to do that solely for humanity’s sake.” Rudy raised his brows and asked with a judging look on his face: “What’s the catch?”
”….” Nyxia squinted her eyes at Rudy and nodded with an amused look on her face. “Not bad, boy. I have to say you are not all about talks. You have got a brain, and you are actually using it.”
”No, that was common sense. And I am sure even if it was someone other than me, they would have had the same question as me. You see, humans are smart,” he asserted with a proud face.
”I hope you don’t compare smart with sly,” she muttered.
A brief silence later, Nyxia raised her leg in the air, showing how flexible her body was.
’Doing something like this in the middle of a conversation is a sin! How am I supposed to concentrate on the topic?!’ Rudy yelled inwardly.
”As I was saying, they all performed—”
”No, no. Answer my question first,” Rudy interjected.
”Tch!” Nyxia clicked her tongue and muttered, “I thought he would forget about him if I diverted his attention to my body. What should I do? He keeps making me more and more interested in him. I don’t want to steal my lovely great-granddaughter’s lover, but Lord forgive me, I might make him mine.”
Of course, Rudy heard that crips and clear. But he wasn’t a dog in heat that would get swayed by anyone’s beauty. Then again, Jane got him good. However, that was only because of the super libido that he lost his morals, although he was dead-set on making Jane fall in love with him, which he achieved after nine rounds of temptation.
