Five years into the apocalypse, Zhuang Mingxu, the strongest ability user in the safe zone, was killed by his so-called “family.”
Lu Weiyi, who had been indifferent to everything for over twe...
Chapter 552: Entering the Fantasy World
There was heavy rain and the land was flooded.
"Zhuang Mingxu" stood in the middle of a high-rise building, looking into the distance through the broken glass. The surging waves hit the building, and after the collision, huge waves rose up, carrying the entire building away.
The noise faded away with the people's miserable cries for help. All kinds of things were floating on the muddy water. The people who were caught in the water were still struggling in the last second, and were hit and disappeared in the water in the next second.
"Help……"
“Save me…”
"Zombies, there are zombies in the water!"
"Don't come over here, let go, don't bite me!"
A shrill cry was heard, and through the rain curtain, "Zhuang Mingxu" saw that the thigh of a woman lying on a wooden board and being carried away by the flood was grabbed by a zombie, and the wooden board, which was struggling to maintain balance, showed signs of overturning in a blink of an eye.
He waved his hand calmly, and a small knife as long as his finger flew out and hit the zombie's forehead. Unfortunately, the woman who had escaped from the zombie was carried by the current and hit an exposed steel bar that was inserted horizontally in the water, and still could not escape the fate of death.
"Boss, we..."
The vibrant life disappeared before my eyes. Someone next to me wanted to say something, opened his mouth, and finally closed it silently.
"There's nothing we can do. Let's just think about how to salvage our supplies after the flood," someone said.
Zhuang Mingxu looked in the direction of the voice and saw the familiar yet unfamiliar face, it was actually Qin Jin.
In the last few years of the world, they posted missing person notices in various bases, and even sent a huge amount of supplies but there was still no news, and now this person appeared here.
Before he could be surprised, he heard Zhuang Mingxu say, "You don't seem to feel anything at all."
He was talking to the people around him.
Zhuang Mingxu followed his gaze and saw that the person standing silently not far from him was Lu Weiyi.
He recognized at a glance that this was not the young master who had never experienced the vicissitudes of life, but Lu Weiyi, who had gone through five years and had determination in his brows.
"Xiao Yi! Xiao Yi!" Zhuang Mingxu shouted loudly and wanted to get closer, but he found that he seemed to have no body. He was like a consciousness without any form.
Lu Weiyi seemed not to hear his voice, and he ignored "Zhuang Mingxu".
I could hear the intermittent conversations of people around me.
"The flood was so severe that many buildings were washed away."
"Buildings are secondary. I saw that many teams' warehouses are gone."
"It would be best if all members of the Li family were gone, so that they don't always try to make things difficult for us."
"The base is about to be destroyed, why bother about whose team it is? How short-sighted!"
"You, Mr. Long-sighted, can you please tell me how to rebuild the base?"
"How can we rebuild it after it's been destroyed like this? We might as well just move..."
The man was halfway through his words when he saw "Zhuang Mingxu" not far away, and he fell silent and hid in the crowd.
"Mingxu?" Qin Jin looked at the base that was mostly destroyed and turned back to look at Zhuang Mingxu worriedly.
"When the flood recedes, we will leave"
"Zhuang Mingxu" spoke in a calm tone, as if he had planned it long ago. Instead, the people around him were surprised and asked where the only team was going.
"I'm going back to Kyoto, you guys should discuss whether to stay or not."
After "Zhuang Mingxu" said this, Zhuang Mingxu shifted his attention from the people to the surroundings. The familiar environment made him recall for a long time before he suddenly realized that this seemed to be the Qingyuan base.
To be precise, it was Qingyuan during the period of the great flood after the end of the world.
While he was still wondering what was going on, he heard someone from the back of the crowd hurriedly shouting, "Boss, Young Master Lu has a fever, do you want to go see him?"
"Zhuang Mingxu" turned around and strode upstairs, reminding, "Don't act rashly, there are zombies in the water, be careful."
"clear!"
Lu Weiyi followed behind "Zhuang Mingxu" and walked upstairs with him. It seemed as if no one around saw him and only greeted "Zhuang Mingxu".
"Give up," Lu Weiyi said the first sentence.
"Zhuang Mingxu" who was walking in front did not respond.
After going up a few floors, we arrived at a double room.
When he opened the door, he saw Antonio hugging the trembling Dean tightly, kicking a man hard against the wall, and saying viciously amid the screams of a woman nearby, "If you dare to come any closer, I will take your life."
His face was gloomy due to long-term depression, but his hand stroking Dean's back was full of tenderness.
Zhuang Mingxu saw that Dean, who was like the little sun, had a dull look in his eyes and was trembling all over. His arms around Antonio were so tight that they were almost digging into his flesh, like a frightened little animal.
"Brother Mingxu, please save my brother! He is going to be killed." The sharp voice of a woman called Zhuang Mingxu's attention back. He looked up and saw that it was Ji Lin, and the person on the ground who was kicked like a ball was Ji Jin.
Zhuang Mingxu didn't understand what was going on. Lu Weiyi, who had always been indifferent, lost his temper and said, "Kill them, kill them! Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
"How many times have I told you to kill them!"
He shouted loudly to "Zhuang Mingxu" and stretched out his hands to swing towards Ji Lin and Ji Jin. Invisible energy spread in the air. For the first time, Zhuang Mingxu felt the destructive power caused by mental power, but Ji Lin and Ji Jin were not hurt at all.
"Zhuang Mingxu" ignored his noise, waved away Ji Lin in front of him, and pushed open the closed bedroom door, "You'd better be quiet. If you disturb Xiaoyi's rest, I will throw you all out to feed the zombies."
Lu Weiyi's emotions fluctuated greatly. He punched and kicked Ji Jin on the ground in rage, although he did not cause any harm.
"Xiaoyi, wake up!"
Zhuang Mingxu moved closer and reminded him loudly. He glanced at the bedroom and saw a young and innocent face - that was the extremely well-protected Lu Weiyi.
He lay on the bed, revealing only a flushed cheek, with a slightly frowned brow and a sense of coldness and brokenness that made people's hearts wrench.
"Zhuang Mingxu" strode forward, and as he picked up the person, the person on the bed let out a painful moan, which made the person move more carefully.
For the first time, Zhuang Mingxu watched the two people's interaction from the perspective of an outsider, and he suddenly realized why his youthful thoughts were so easily noticed by others.
How could you not notice that the person you hold dear is cautious in every move he makes?
"Let him die!"
"Let him die!"
After a tantrum in the living room, Lu Weiyi entered the bedroom and seemed to be enraged again when he saw the action that "Zhuang Mingxu" cherished so much. He was like a violent little lion with nowhere to vent. He shouted anxiously and rushed towards the person who was held in "Zhuang Mingxu's" arms and slapped him.
The action seemed to be about to throw the person to the ground, and the vigorous ups and downs of the movement were nothing like the cold person that Zhuang Mingxu had in mind.
He had a bad feeling in his heart, as if everything happening here was constantly challenging and irritating Lu Weiyi's nerves.
Zhuang Mingxu felt that his understanding seemed to be wrong. This was not the reaction that a person in a fantasy should have. Everything happening here did not seem to be under Lu Weiyi's control.
Zhuang Mingxu had known about the situations of several other people who were affected by mental power, and they were completely different from what he saw before his eyes.
Lu Weiyi himself did not integrate into the illusion. If you say he was a bystander, there was a "Zhuang Mingxu" in the illusion who could see him, but if you say he was a participant, he could not change anything.
Even though he couldn't reach him, "Zhuang Mingxu" still protected the person and dodged his attack.
"Stop making trouble." Zhuang Mingxu was rarely nice to talk to.
Based on his understanding of himself, Zhuang Mingxu felt that "he" must know Lu Weiyi's identity, otherwise he would never allow anyone to attack the person in his arms like this.
Everything here was so weird that he couldn't understand it.
"Give up on him."
"Give up on him!"
Lu Weiyi was still screaming, his voice revealing the despair that came from struggling but unable to escape, and every word was heart-wrenching.
He asked "Zhuang Mingxu" to give up on himself again?
Before Zhuang Mingxu could think about the reason, something seemed to invade his brain and everything in front of him became blurry.
"Xiao Yi!"
“Xiao Yi——!”
"Lu Weiyi! He's leaving!"
Zhuang Mingxu shouted loudly with his last bit of consciousness, and everything he saw became pitch black.
When he opened his eyes again, he was instantly hit by a dizzying feeling.
"Mingxu? How are you?" Wu Yue's worried voice came.
Zhuang Mingxu suddenly turned sideways and began to vomit violently.
Wu Yue hurriedly patted him on the back and said, "It's okay, it's a normal reaction to being affected by mental power. Fortunately Taotao cried loudly, so I brought you out in time."
"Aren't you usually very careful about time? Why are you so late today?"
Zhuang Mingxu touched Taotao, whose eyes were red from crying, soothingly and said in a hoarse voice, "I seem to have entered Xiaoyi's fantasy world."
"This... illusion can still be entered?" Wu Yue was surprised.
Zhuang Mingxu shook his head, and suddenly he felt dizzy again.
"I asked a psychic to help you clean up your invaded brain..." Wu Yue didn't know if this was a good deed with bad intentions, but he was more interested in Lu Weiyi's condition. "Did you see Lu Weiyi? Didn't you wake him up?"
Zhuang Mingxu shook his head again, his expression becoming even uglier.
Wu Yue didn't ask any more questions, just said, "You should have a good rest. Today we need to clean out the mutated animals affected by mental power. I have to go and look after everyone."
"Taotao, can you take care of daddy?"
"Okay, Taotao will stay with daddy." Taotao didn't know how long she had been crying, and her voice was hoarse.
After everyone left, Zhuang Mingxu asked Taotao where she had been.
"I entered the space to look for my father," Taotao recalled seriously, "and then I felt my father, so I took him with me to find him."
"It was you who brought him into your father's fantasy world?" Zhuang Mingxu was incredulous.
Taotao didn't understand what the illusion meant, and didn't know how to answer. She just bit her fingers with a confused look on her face.
"That's where your father is. Is that where you took me in?"
"Yes, I heard you calling father, and I called him too, but he ignored us." Taotao looked aggrieved, "Big Dad, does father not like Taotao anymore?"
"No, Father just didn't see us." Zhuang Mingxu lifted the quilt and let Taotao come in. He stroked his back to comfort him and recalled the scene he saw in his mind again.
