Apocalypse Descends: I Have a Myriad Exchange System

Zheng Qian had always worked hard to earn money, hoping to live off bank interest and achieve his dream of 'lying flat' (a relaxed, minimalist lifestyle).

When the apocalypse descende...

Chapter 144: City of Illusion (2)

In the distance, the majestic Mount Fuji stands tall in the sky, its outline appearing solemn and mysterious in the afterglow of the setting sun.

At the foot of the mountain, the steel town depicted in Zheng Gan’s future vision comes into view.

On the outskirts of the town, golden wheat fields look like a golden ocean, swaying gently in the breeze.

The picture is so harmonious and peaceful, as if it were a carefully painted oil painting.

"Is this what they call an illusion?"

Zheng Gan muttered to himself, his eyes revealing a bit of confusion.

However, even in this dreamlike scene, he was not completely immersed in it.

“Sometimes, things that are too beautiful seem too unreal.”

Zheng Gan sighed softly.

It is not known whether it is due to the advanced soul awakening ability or the all-seeing eye, but Zheng Gan still maintains a clear mind at this moment.

It was obvious that he had not forgotten who he was or what he was meant to do.

According to the scene in the future vision, he chose a set of samurai outfit for himself at the exchange office.

After changing into a warrior's attire, Zheng Gan took a deep breath and walked towards the steel town with firm steps.

When he passed by the wheat fields, the people who were working hard stopped their work, straightened their backs, and looked at him with smiles on their faces.

Zheng Gan responded to their smiles, but deep down he was secretly pondering.

"NPC? Survivor? Or something else?"

However, one thing that is certain is that no new names appear on the Awakener panel.

When Zheng Gan slowly walked to the city gate, a soldier came towards him.

"Haha, it looks like we have new friends joining us!"

The soldier laughed out loud and looked Zheng Gan over.

"How is it? It's hard to find here, isn't it?"

Zheng Gan nodded slightly, responded with a "hmm", and then asked.

"Can I come in?"

The soldier nodded and said, "Of course, but according to the rules, I need to register your information first."

Zheng Gan's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the soldier in front of him calmly.

I was secretly speculating in my heart.

"Is this place hard to find?"

"Does he know that I'm looking for this place with a specific purpose, or is this just a routine line from the NPC?"

He continued to ponder, possible explanations flashing through his mind.

"So, everyone who enters here will have their memories altered in some way?"

"Then, with new memories, automatically become part of the illusion?"

This thought made his heart beat faster unconsciously.

Just then, the soldier's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Hey, fill out the form."

Zheng Gan quickly came to his senses and cooperated by taking the form.

I looked at the registration form and saw some basic personal information.

You also need to write in detail where it came from and how it got there.

There is a lot of information in here.

Zheng Gan wrote his name crookedly and handed back the registration form.

“I only know how to write my own name.”

The person on the other side was obviously caught off guard by this answer, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, as if his computer had suddenly crashed.

But he soon returned to normal and responded with a smile:

"It doesn't matter if you can't write. I can take you around town and tell me as you walk, and I'll write it down for you."

"Our main goal is to understand your strengths and abilities, and then assign appropriate supplies and work suitable for you based on the situation."

Zheng Gan suddenly became interested and asked.

"Do I have to work?"

"Of course, in this big family, everyone needs to contribute to the construction of the home."

Zheng Gan pointed at the armored soldiers on the city wall and asked.

Hearing this, the other party shook his head slightly, with a gentle smile on his lips.

"That won't do. You just arrived here and don't know anything about our mission."

"The responsibility of defending our homeland is not something we take lightly."

Zheng Gan didn't dwell on this issue. He nodded and followed the other party into the city gate.

He needed to learn more about this place and then find a place to think about it carefully.

After Zheng Gan entered the town, Tang Jingye and others also penetrated the fog and saw the scene that Zheng Gan had seen before.

"Found it. We finally found the last refuge for mankind."

Tang Jingye's voice, filled with irrepressible excitement, echoed in the empty air.

The scenery before everyone's eyes was like a painting slowly unfolding, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

Mo Zicen, who is usually the calmest, could not hide his excitement at this moment.

Her hands trembled slightly and tears glistened in her eyes, as if she was moved by the arrival of this moment.

Only Noah frowned. Although she felt something was wrong, she couldn't tell what was wrong.

The emotions of the crowd seemed to be affecting her invisibly. Her originally furrowed brows slowly relaxed under the influence of the surrounding atmosphere.

Just as they were about to move on and explore the unknown territory, Sanhua suddenly leaped in front of them, and a deep roar echoed in the air.

"Sanhua, what's wrong with you? Why are you stopping us?"

“Roar~~”

However, Sanhua did not answer, but continued to make low roars, as if warning everyone that there was an unknown danger ahead.

"Old Tang, do you think Sanhua is worried that the people ahead of us might mistake it for some mutated monster?"

Ah Fei put forward his guess thoughtfully.

"A Fei, what you said makes sense. Sanhua might be a little worried."

Then he turned to Sanhua, his voice gentle but firm.

"Sanhua, listen carefully, we will not abandon you."

"Wait here for a moment. We'll go to the front to explain your situation and then come right back to pick you up, okay?"

"Let's go there first, and once we've explained your situation clearly, we'll come pick you up, okay?"

"roar--"

Sanhua growled, his eyes full of displeasure, as if to say, "I don't care about your explanations, you can't leave anyway!"

Faced with Sanhua's persistence, several people began to get impatient.

They exchanged a few glances and decided not to bother with Sanhua anymore.

"Forget it, stop talking nonsense with it, let's go quickly."

"That's right, we have important things to do and can't waste time here."

So, they ignored Sanhua's obstruction and walked forward resolutely.

Noah, who was standing behind Tang Jingye, looked at Sanhua with a look of helplessness and reluctance in his eyes.

But in the end, she chose to follow the team.

Just like that, the group walked away amidst laughter and joy, leaving Sanhua alone, mumbling in low voice.

If Zheng Gan's soul resonance had not failed, Tang Jingye and the others would have been able to understand that Sanhua was calling them idiots.
