Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 393 The Bride of the Sea God (60)

"Use your brain! You don't want Nolan to die, but do you think I want him to die?" Yan Zhen said. "Wouldn't it be better to use a time bomb instead of a fish-and-meat detonator? Why are you rushing to your death?"

Asaya: "..."

He immediately shut up.

Wei Shucheng asked, "Why are you helping us?"

Yan Zhen said, "It's not just to help you, it's also to save ourselves... Give me eight hours before the explosion so that the people of Shengjing can evacuate."

Asaya erupted again: "No way!"

His goal is to punish humanity and make the entire Shengjing pay the price.

If you give her eight hours to give a warning and allow the people of Shengjing to evacuate, then what's the point of him detonating the underwater volcano?

"No?" Yan Zhen looked at Asaya. "But I already know your plans. Whether you agree or not, I will issue a warning in advance. What can you do about it?"

Asaya: "...You're despicable! You keep saying you'll help us, but your heart is with humans!"

"I am human, if I don't favor other humans, who will I favor?"

"You..." Asaya was so angry she was incoherent, turning to Nolan and cursing, "Traitor! If you hadn't sided with this human, she wouldn't have had the chance to ride roughshod over me! If the chieftain finds out, you... Ugh!!!"

Before he could finish speaking, Yan Zhen grabbed a coat from the sofa that no one knew who had worn it, rolled it up, and stuffed it into Asaya's mouth to shut him up.

After doing all this, Yan Zhen looked at Wei Shucheng: "Will you cooperate or not? If you agree to my conditions, I will get a time bomb and have Nolan send it to the crater. Give me eight hours before it detonates. As for whether the people of Shengjing believe my warning or whether they want to evacuate, that's their business."

Wei Shucheng remained silent.

“This opportunity is for humans, and also for the merfolk.” Yan Zhen said, extending his hand to Wei Shucheng, “Give me a copy of the ancient virus you initially planned to release.”

Wei Shucheng frowned: "What are you doing?"

"I will deliver the news of the virus, along with the impending volcanic eruption, to the desks of those in power in Shengjing, and show them the seriousness of continuing to hunt man-fish."

Wei Shucheng hesitated, and he subconsciously turned his gaze to Asaya, who was being held captive by Nolan and unable to move, with his coat stuffed in his mouth.

Yan Zhen said, "Don't bother looking at him, he has no right to speak in this discussion."

Asaya: "Ughhhhh!!!"

Wei Shucheng then looked at Nolan.

"You don't need to look at him, he listens to everything I say."

Wei Shucheng: "..."

He gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind: "Okay, this is the last time."

-

Having made up her mind, Yan Zhen took Nolan and went to find Si's father without stopping.

Mr. Si has been discharged from the hospital and is currently recuperating at the Si family home.

In the study, after Yan Zhen finished explaining the plan, Si's father was shocked: "Xia...Xia, what...what are you doing..."

Bombing the seabed, detonating volcanoes, triggering tsunamis, and submerging cities... This plan goes beyond just "illegal and criminal" and "life imprisonment."

"No, no, no, no, no!" Si's father shook his head like a rattle-drum. "This is too terrible. Even if we issue an eight-hour warning in advance, there will always be people who are not evacuated in time, and there will be huge economic losses... No! Absolutely not!"

Yan Zhen sighed upon hearing this and placed a tightly sealed, transparent bottle in front of him.

Si's father asked, "What is this?"

"An ancient virus that flowed out from the melting of the Arctic glaciers." Yan Zhen said calmly, "Aren't you curious about my origins? Let me put it this way, I am someone who traveled from the future to change history."

Si's father was taken aback.

"In that unaltered future, the merfolk, in order to take revenge on humanity, spread this highly contagious and deadly ancient virus throughout the world, causing 60 million deaths in a few months, including the entire Si family."

Si's father's pupils contracted slightly.

"Now I'm handing the choice over to you." Yan Zhen moved the small bottle a few centimeters closer to him, and Si's father shrank back in fear.

"Do you want Shengjing to experience a tsunami with minimal casualties, or do you want the virus to spread to the whole world? You choose."

Si's father: "..."

As Mr. Zhou Shuren once said, people's temperament always prefers harmony and compromise. For example, if you say that this room is too dark and suggest opening a skylight here, everyone will definitely not allow it.

But if you advocate removing the roof, they will come to mediate and agree to open a skylight.

After a long silence, Si's father finally managed to say with difficulty, "Okay."

Yan Zhen's tone relaxed: "Dad, thank you."

Si's father asked, "What do you need me to do?"

"Get me some explosives, put them on a timed detonator, and make sure to take waterproof measures," Yan Zhen said. "And three days later, deliver the news of the tsunami and this bottle of virus to the mayor's desk."

-

Three days later, at Shengjing Wharf.

Wei Shucheng, accompanied by several bodyguards, carried several large boxes onto the yacht.

Yan Zhen and Nolan walked behind, and when they caught sight of several fishermen squatting on the breakwater not far away, Yan Zhen paused.

She told Nolan to wait where he was, then walked over and greeted one of the men, who looked to be over forty: "Uncle, did you catch any fish?"

"No," the uncle said with a gloomy expression. "Bad luck. I've been fishing all morning and haven't caught a single fish."

Yan Zhen then asked the other fishermen, and they all said they were out of the game.

Yan Zhen said, "Let's come back later. There aren't any fish to catch in this area lately."

The older man asked, "Why?"

"The fish have all fled."

Nolan has driven away all the moving marine life in the vicinity, so it's no wonder these people can't catch any fish.

The older man took it as a joke and ignored it.

Yan Zhen didn't say much, turned around and called Nolan to board the yacht.

Shortly after, the yacht set off for the location of the underwater volcano.

Upon reaching the designated location, the yacht anchored on the sea. Nolan transformed into a fish tail, took the bomb and timed detonator, and dived into the seabed.

Half an hour later, Nolan returned safely: "It's installed."

Yan Zhen took out his phone and sent a message to Si's father: "Action."

At the same time, she started an eight-hour countdown.

At the foot of the municipal party committee building, Mr. Si, dressed in a suit and tie, took a deep breath, then got out of the car carrying a safe containing the virus and entered the building.

With seven hours to go, Yan Zhen and Wei Shucheng returned to the dock by yacht.

The moment we stepped onto the dock, a piercing alarm blared throughout the entire city of Shengjing.

With six hours left in the countdown, Yan Zhen took Nolan to Xinnan Mountain, picked up Si Lan and Assistant Xu, and left together.

With five hours to go, residents along the coast of Shengjing began a large-scale emergency evacuation to higher ground.

With four hours to go, Yan Zhen met Si's parents, who had arrived shortly after, at the planned temporary villa.

Countdown: three hours, two hours, one hour...

As the countdown ended, Yan Zhen, sitting on the villa's balcony, felt the ground beneath his feet tremble slightly.
