Even after that group of people appeared, Jiang Liushi remained calm. Since they wanted to raid Shen Hai's headquarters, Jiang Liushi had made the appropriate preparations before arriving.

"Ying-" Jiang Liushi was about to order. However, at that moment, the group of people spread to all directions suddenly. Then, a man in black appeared behind them.

When the man appeared, all the members of Shi Ying Squad felt a spell of dizziness. They stared at the man, but they couldn't see him clearly. At the same time, the longer the stared, the more their minds were affected. They felt as if they had drunk a lot of booze.

Ran Xiyu frowned, and her grey eyes shined like the countless stars in the sky. The moment the man made his appearance, his overbearing mental energy covered the whole area. Therefore, Ran Xiyu struggled to protect her mind. After succeeding, she helped the others, making them feel comfortable again. Although they were no longer dizzy, they could still not see the man's face. It was a weird feeling. He was right in front of them, but his facial features felt like a distant and vague memory that was hard to be recollected.

It was evident that the man's mental power was so strange that it could affect people's perception.

Jiang Liushi frowned. 'Who is this man? What kind of mental power is this? How could such a strong man have stayed hidden until now?'

Suddenly, the man in black spoke. "Jiang Liushi, nice to meet you." The man's tone was so cordial that it seemed he was greeting an old friend. His voice was not loud, but everyone could hear him.

Jiang Liushi thought that it was normal for him to know his name. Since he had been monitoring them all this time, it would be weird not to know about them.

"Are you Shen Hai's top leader?" asked Jiang Zhuying.

"The top leader? Hahahaa…" the man laughed and then explained, "You're pretty close. Actually… I'm Shen Hai… not its leader."

"Eh?" Jiang Liushi frowned. 'What does this mean?'

That man in black explained further, "In your eyes, I'm the one who established Shen Hai. All the people in Jinling are under the same impression. But, in fact, I'm Shen Hai. The people you've met are not my members but my 'children.' My will is their will."

While Shen Hai was speaking to them, the group of people outside was surrounding the tour bus. They had fierce expressions, and their eyes were bloodshot as if all of them had been infected.

Jiang Liushi was flabbergasted, but at the same time, he suddenly understood what Shen Hai meant.

"You used the plague to control all of them?" asked Jiang Liushi.

"Yes, you are right. That's why I told you I'm Shen Hai. Actually, my name is Shen Hai," said the black-clothed man slowly. Then, he walked toward Jiang Liushi step by step.

Jiang Liushi's teammates all felt as if Shen Hai was in another space. It was an eerie feeling. Nobody could touch him.

'Who is he?' wondered Jiang Liushi. 'Why did he appear now? What's his endgame? He controls the whole organization on his own, and his power is unfathomable. Did he use his psychic powers to create the plague? If that's the case, he's unforgivable! Moreover, he is at least a level-3 paranormal!'

Although everything was possible after doomsday, Jiang Liushi had a hard time accepting this. How many difficulties and sufferings had one to experience before becoming a level-3 paranormal?

"You were the one who created the blue liquids found inside the infected people!? You ordered your tools to collect mutant nuclei just for evolving your weapons?" asked Xiang Xuehai angrily.

In this treacherous world, ordinary people had already suffered a lot. Shen Hai, a human, had wantonly slaughtered survivors on a large scale, forcing what remained of the human civilization on the verge of despair.

Shen Hai smiled and answered, "It seems that you've found that the lovely blue liquid is a living organism. I call them blue sprites. You've surely worked hard. But it's a pity as I'm not the one who created them. How could I have created such a perfect being? However, I am the one who raised and spread them. As such, they acknowledged my worth. Thus, they feel affectionate towards me." 

Shen Hai's words infuriated Xing Xuehai. The blue organism that would likely lead humans to extinction was actually called a lovely and perfect being.

"You are a scumbag! You won't be happy until you ruin the whole world?"

Shen Hai shook his head and answered, "You know nothing. Your mind limits your imagination. We are not ruining the world. Instead, we are giving birth to a new world."

Shen Hai's words triggered lots of scenes from movies in Jiang Liushi's mind. Meanwhile, Jiang Liushi also got a lot of information from his words.

 "You said 'we'?"

"Nice… It's us." Shen Hai nodded. "I know you have many questions. Feel free to ask. I'm willing to answer all your questions because I appreciate you. Originally, I wanted to invite you to join us, but now I changed my mind."

"Who are you?" asked Jiang Liushi directly.

"Since you have killed Han Yuan and Luo Jiafeng is your prisoner, you should know about the organization. I can tell you that our organization is called Genesis," answered Shen Hai carefreely, yet his tone carried a hint of eagerness.

"You are a member of the organization? You've spread your tentacles everywhere," said Jiang Liushi.

At last, Jiang Liushi got to know the organization's name. From the single word, Jiang Liushi could tell the organization's ambitions. But Jiang Liushi still felt something was strange. He wondered why the organization could grow so large within a year. Their strength was terrible. Even the super countries' power had decreased significantly, so how could they have established such a large organization?

Jiang Liushi did not have the chance to ask as Shen Hai took the initiative to further explain. "You probably wonder what's our backing and how we developed the organization so fast, right? Actually, Genesis was established way before the world as we know it came to an end. It's more than half a century old."

Jiang Liushi and the others were shocked. 'Half a century? This period is longer than the founding history of many countries.'

"The world's existence is not as simple as you might think. Originally, Genesis was a secret organization, and its purpose was to collect lots of information. All members of Genesis were influential figures, including CEOs of large companies, important governors and so on. But those people controlled everything behind the scenes. That's why you are ignorant. I'm one of them. I was the owner of several multinational companies, and I did not obtain my power after doomsday. Even 10 years before the outbreak, I had already developed my power…"

Jiang Liushi was at a loss. How could those people have obtained powers before the virus outbreak? The organization was far beyond what they could have possibly imagined.

"What did bring the organization together? What did you know?" asked Jiang Liushi directly. Only something of great value could bring such a huge organization together.

"We knew lots of things. You can't even imagine. Well, the end of the world was something we knew was coming. We had predicted it 10 years ago. If we had more time, we would have been more prepared. I can tell you that the establishment of Genesis was caused by one scientific research. The researchers had made some impressive discoveries, so the organization was created. But only qualified members could be allowed to join. The so-called plague, I mean the blue liquids, was also a part of the research's discoveries. However, half a century ago, the blue sprites couldn't be stimulated to play their roles. Only after the end of the world did our powers enter a new stage, and we were able to stimulate the blue liquids. Moreover, I'm the strongest one in our organization, so I'm responsible for communicating with the blue sprites," explained Shen Hai slowly.

Of course, his words completely subverted the imagination of people such as Jiang Zhuying.

Doomsday was a known secret! No wonder the rich and influential figures had been transferred in advance. At first, Jiang Zhuying had not questioned why that had happened, but now she knew.

The world didn't have an airtight wall. As long as somebody knew, the news could be spread out quickly. Otherwise, Genesis would have done it. However, the time left for preparing was too short. Even famous and rich people couldn't be transferred to a secure place.

"How could you do this? Since you had known about the doomsday, why did you do nothing to help ordinary people in advance? Why didn't you release the news early, so more people could be saved? At least, even as your slave, they could live longer, " asked Jiang Liushi again.

Generally speaking, no ruling class would despise the number of people they ruled. After all, without a sheep, there would be no wool.

Unexpectedly, Shen Hai smiled and answered, "We just wanted to create a new century, not just for the power and rule, which we had obtained even before the doomsday. The people who couldn't adapt to the new century should be eliminated. Jiang Liushi, you may not know that the potential of a human's life is far more than you imagine. Life is not compromised by just a bunch of chemicals! The moon landing was realized in the 60s. But until this day, even devoting the whole force of human science and technology, we can't create any living organism, even the simplest bacteria, from scratch. Technology can only synthesize dead viruses or inject synthetic DNA using the original bacteria as a template. Moreover, the human brain is infinitely more sophisticated than any large computer. The human body is made of by a little-fertilized egg with only tens of thousands of genes. How could you guess the secret lying within it…?"

"It is desecrating for any person to be thrown into an incinerator and turned into a heap of dust decades later. People are supposed to be Gods! Didn't you think so, Jiang Liushi? Although many people in our organization would like to kill you, I appreciate you very much. Join us and become one of our members. You will be bestowed with the gift of evolution soon, finally, turning into a God walking on Earth. And then, we will finalize the whole process of evolving humans…"

"What? You invited me to join your organization?" Jiang Liushi was stunned. It was totally beyond his expectations.

"Captain Jiang, don't listen to him," said Xiang Xuehai urgently.

Xiang Xuehai hoped that new rules could be established in this treacherous world, recovering the long-lost sense of civilized times. Therefore, she hated to the bone people with extremist mindsets such as Shen Hai. She believed that Jiang Liushi would not succumb, but Shen Hai's tempting words sounded reasonable. Moreover, since time immemorial, humans had been pursuing immortality.

With that in mind, Xiang Xuehai finally understood why the organization could attract so many famous and powerful people more than half a century ago. Xiang Xuehai even knew that many scientists and research organizations had never stopped the study of prolonging human life, such as the symbiotic mouse experiment, that is, blood exchange.
