Ch 216 Light of the Apocalypse 8.32
Some higher up figures wanted to become superhuman to avoid growing old and dying. Those with similar interests bound together for the experiment.
For the experiment, they captured numerous humans. They were mostly seriously ill patients or homeless people.
However, the results were far from their expectations. The Superman Experiment had gone awry. Those failed subjects killed everyone in the research lab. They then ran out, completely unable to control their thirst for blood and flesh. Thus, the disaster began. Within a day, the peaceful golden era became a horrifying h.e.l.l on earth.
Only then did those who started the experiment begin to feel fear. They quickly had the military take over B city and protect them. When they relaxed and found that there was no one for them to order around, they had the military go out on the pretense of searching for more survivors. In reality, they were looking for underlings. Even though it was the apocalypse, they were still the men at the top.
Those that didn’t have any new abilities and had no special skills of their own became the lowest tier of this new society.
XunMi’s heart hardened the more she read on. This kind of selfish power really deserved to be ousted. It was that group of dumb leeches that turned this beautiful land into a vast horror. She closed her eyes. She needed to calm down.
She’ll definitely go back to B city to get rid of that group.
“Let’s go to An Island Prison.” XunMi said. She didn’t want to wait any longer. She couldn’t wait to take care of those people, so that they could finally face the realities of the world they created.
Song ZiQian and Ling Chen were a bit confused but went along. They stayed waiting for a few more days before a safe, uninjured Ye MingYe finally emerged. There was no way of detecting the pa.s.sage of time beneath the lake. Ye MingYe had been suffering bone-shaking pain. He would faint and then be awoken by insufferable pain. The process would repeat ceaselessly. However, he never thought about giving up.
He needed to protect his most treasured person. How could he give up so easily?
He didn’t know how long he was down there for. But when he finally regain consciousness, that extra energy had already been absorbed into his body. He took one last look at the statue. Ye MingYe didn’t plan on taking it up with him. Instead, he secured a few force fields. It made the statue invisible to others as well as acted as a protective shield. After absorbing the additional energy, numerous new abilities burst into his head. He almost thought that he had entered the wrong dimension and entered a WuXia or cultivation world.
When he walked out of the lake, the sun was at just the right height. The wind blew warmly, leaving everyone relaxed.
“Husband! You’re finally out. Are you okay?” XunMi quickly ran forward into the lake and pulled the man up.
Ye MingYe pulled her into his arms. “Your husband is so strong. How could anything happen to me? But what about you? Have you been eating? Look, you’ve even gotten skinnier!” He pinched her waist, innocently eating her tofu.
XunMi feigned anger and slapped Ye MingYe’s arm. “You’re like this as soon as you see me. Humph, I’m going to ignore you.” This guy’s natural instincts really never changed. She really shouldn’t worry about him.
Ye MingYe blinked innocently at him. “Mi’er, you’ve really hurt your husband’s heart. What would happen if you broke it?”
XunMi gaped at him. “Then throw it away.”
“Alright, whatever Mi’er says. But where should I put my heart then?” He leaned in closer to the person that he had been thinking endlessly about. “What about I leave it with Mi’er, so that you can help me look after it?” He placed a light kiss on her lips.
“Kekeke…Why are we always force fed dog food?” Ling Chen burrowed himself into the sofa.
Song ZiQian was also helpless. He also felt that he was fated to be opposite ends with Ye MingYe. Any awful thing he encountered was all after meeting him. Ah, forget it. Because of XunMi, he won’t dwindle too much on the grudges.
Ye MingYe and XunMi walked out of the lake. They ignored the two others and sat down cozily onto the sofa.
XunMi suddenly realized that her clothes hadn’t gotten wet at all, as if she hadn’t just walked into a lake.
“This place has already become my land. Naturally, it will listen to my commands.” And how could I allow you to be even slightly inconvenienced?
“I didn’t know my MingYe was a King of Cheesy Words.” XunMi joked. Her husband always ended up going against his established personality. She was already used to this. But she was also a little jealous. Why could he go against the established personality without consequence while she would get points deducted?
She could already foreshadow that she was going to have points deducted in this world too. The original soul’s unruly and domineering manner was really hard to handle. She was afraid that if she tried to be like that, she would go overboard.
BaoBao looked down disdainfully at his Madam Host. She was exactly the unruly, domineering type.
“After eating lunch, we’ll go to An Island.” Even when Ye MingYe had been underneath water, he still was conscious about what was happening above him.
XunMi nodded in agreement. Because her husband’s return had put her in a good mood, XunMi made a whole table full of food for them to eat. The four only set off back on the road after stuffing their stomachs.
XunMi had thought that they would b.u.mp into Xu Yi and the rest when they got out. But even after walking out of Changle Village, she still hadn’t seen them. XunMi raised an eyebrow. Were they actually embarra.s.sed to show themselves?
This was good too. That group should see this world’s cruel side for themselves. They only needed people that can still grow and mature in this apocalypse.
The four reunited with Song ZiQian’s people at a nearby small town. As the enlarged group headed forward, they picked up more people. The original four person team slowly grew into a group with six to seven hundred people headed to An Island prison.
After the apocalypse hit, the criminals in An Island Prison took over. Now, it was led by a man called Chang She, with a third level wind ability.
When they arrived outside of An Island Prison, XunMi noted the topography from here to the walls of the abnormally st.u.r.dy prison. She was satisfied. If the current head was willing to discuss with them, it would be even better.
Even if he was unwilling, it would be fine too. They work as two separate groups as long as they were willing to let them into An Island.
As the group’s representative, Ling Chen knocked on the front door of An Island Prison.
Inside, those in An Island that had prepared troops blinked, confused. It didn’t seem like they were here to attack them. Why were they so politely knocking on the door? Were they too conservative? Did they not know this new method for challenging opponents to a fight?
Ling Chen knocked for a long time without a response. There wasn’t even a sound coming from behind the door.
