Chapter 497 Parallel Universe

In her thirties, Leah, who was originally fair-skinned and beautiful, now had black stains all over her face, sunken eye sockets, dull hair, and a tired look.

She covered her son Ike's mouth with her right hand and said weakly, "Davin, can we survive to the city center?"

Davin took a deep breath and tightened the AK47 in his hand.

He comforted his wife, "God will protect us, we will be safe, believe me, Leah!"

As he said that, he found Leah's left hand with his right hand and held her fingers together.

Leah was a little pessimistic.

She murmured, "Davin, even if we succeed in getting in, how long can the Holy Light City last?"

The more she talked, the more pessimistic she became, with a hint of despair in her voice.

"There is no God in this world, and no one will save us. We will disappear from this world like other dead people..."

It would be great if it was really God, but unfortunately this is a real world.

In her opinion, those were all tricks used by the church to fool people.

Just like the protagonist in the movie, it does not exist in reality.

In the movies, even if it is the end of the world, there will always be someone who stands up to stop it, or develops something, and even humans mutate and have superpowers...

However, the ruthless side of reality is here. The end of the world has happened, but no one stands up, and humans have not mutated. Everything is developing in the worst direction.

The collapse of civilization took only a short time!

"Leah!" Davin said in a low voice, his handsome face full of seriousness, "You have to believe me!"

Leah looked at him with her eyes, and as she looked at him, her desperate heart was shaken by his firm eyes, and she regained some hope.

After a rest, Davin decided to continue with his wife.

"You two have to follow me!"

Leah and her ten-year-old son Ike nodded quickly.

After a while, the three of them quietly climbed out of a window, and then tried to avoid the insects and walked towards the center of Shengguang City.

On the road, Davin, who was walking in the front, looked at the road ahead, and his eyes, which had always been firm in front of his wife, also revealed some fragility.

He was also afraid, but he couldn't be weak in front of his wife and son.

"Holy Light City..."

He murmured in his heart.

Along the way, he had the opportunity to choose a better city, but he still chose this city.

This city where miracles once appeared!

During World War II, the flames of war swept through the city until one day the holy light fell from the sky.

The light was holy and warm, and it had the power to make people repent.

Some people believed that this must be the power of God, who was stopping the war!

Under the power of faith, the war in this city subsided and peace came.

From that time on, the name of the city changed. In order to be grateful for the cessation of the war and the appearance of miracles, people named the city Holy Light City!

A city with a strong atmosphere of faith!

Every year, Christians from all over the world come to visit this holy place.

The relationship between these factors also allowed the city to be spared when the disaster struck, and a large number of people gathered nearby to guard it.

People regarded it as hope in their hearts, even though miracles had never appeared in decades.

It was also because of this that Davin came to this city with his wife and children.

More than four hours later.

The three people, who were covered in wounds, came to a place blocked by iron railings and electric fences with a gasp.

In addition to the flying insects in the sky, some cockroaches and ants crawling on the ground will be electrocuted and emit black smoke as soon as they touch the wire mesh.

Of course, there are also some smart cockroaches that try to fly over the electric fence, but unfortunately, they will be shot and killed by the guards the next second after flying in.

The three people were soon discovered by the people inside when they arrived here.

Five armed men wearing thick black leather jackets and helmets on their heads, wrapping their bodies tightly, hurried forward to ask.

After a while.

A tall middle-aged man with a full beard said, "Bourne, take them for a check-up."

The young man named Bourne nodded.

On the way, facing the puzzled Devin and the other two, Bourne began to explain.

Devin and the other two suddenly realized, and then became more desperate.

It turned out that the insects not only became bigger, but anyone who was bitten or scratched had a certain chance of being infected with the virus.

The patient first had a fever all over his body, then sweated and fainted, and then died of a high fever.

And although the symptoms are the same as a fever, they are not actually, and fever medicine will not have any effect.

At present, effective special medicines are still being studied. If someone gets sick, it is almost certain to die!

Because the mortality rate is close to 90%!

If it is not highly contagious, humans may have become extinct directly!

Hearing this, Devin and the other two were uneasy and became more desperate.

Leah looked panicked, "Devin, our injuries..."

"It will be fine!" Devin took a deep breath, as if to comfort Leah, and as if to comfort himself.

Bourne looked at them with pity.

Although there is only a certain probability, who knows if anyone among them will get sick. As long as one of them gets sick, then the family will no longer be complete.

The four walked on the cleaned snow, and the cold wind blew from time to time.

Davin observed the surrounding environment.

The disaster had been going on for a long time, but the basic order was still maintained here, and the streets were very clean.

But...

"They..."

Glancing at some passers-by, Davin was puzzled to find that those people had anxious faces, as if they were worried about something.

Just then, just as they approached a large square, a loud shout came over.

As they approached, Davin and the other two were surprised to see that a group of people were crowded together, listening to a clergyman standing on a high platform in a white robe.

The clergyman in his fifties shouted, "The world was created by God. God has always loved us and the world. He will not give up on us. We..."

Listening to the speech of the white-robed priest, a group of people below looked gloomy, and people kept saying, "Has there really been a miracle here?"

"Will God really save us?"

People's faces were full of insecurity, despair and uneasiness filled their faces.

Father Stephen on the stage sighed when he heard the words.

This was not the first time he had heard someone ask this question. He had seen everyone's hopeful eyes when the disaster first struck, and their anxiety now.

He thought that the Lord would not come, and mankind would be extinct.

"This is probably God's punishment..."

Father Stephen thought pessimistically.

However, although he thought so, he could not say such words, otherwise people's hearts would completely collapse.

Taking a deep breath, he regained his spirits and helped the crowd relieve stress.

"Yes, God will save us!"

"God once sent the Son of Man to redeem us, which shows that God has always loved us..."
