Cen Yu could no longer see even a trace of the former He Xueqing in that prophet of the safe zone.

In his memory, He Xueqing was the classmate who sat in front of him. She was probably not good at communicating with people, and she always hunched over and kept her head down doing her own thing. Most of the time they didn't talk much. Only when Cen Yu wanted to borrow a school uniform would he think of He Xueqing.

If it weren't for the so-called doomsday prophecy, Cen Yu and He Xueqing's interactions would probably have ended there. At a class reunion many years later, Cen Yu might greet He Xueqing when he saw her and say, "Thank you for lending me your school uniform back then."

That's how it should have been.

After that, He Xueqing always followed behind him. They went to many places together, struggling and pulling each other along in the apocalypse. Because there was no food or a safe place to rest, they were always in a sorry state most of the time.

But the He Xueqing in the picture now is dressed in what looks like elegant and expensive clothes, with a gentle smile on her face, completely different from the one Cen Yu remembers.

He stood there for so long that even the monkeys found it strange. Cen Yu said to the monkeys, "It's nothing."

"Is that the prophet of the safe zone?" he asked, pointing to He Xueqing in the image.

"Yes." The monkey knew a little. "It said that any prophecy the other party utters will come true."

He and Cen Yu continued walking. "A few days ago he said these sunken monsters were about to disappear, and the world would see a turning point." The monkey shrugged. "Who knows?"

"These monsters still seem to be constantly emerging from the ground."

Cen Yu and Monkey walked through the narrow streets of the underground city. He was going to get his ear pierced today... Soon they came to a shop hidden in a corner. The shop owner was an acquaintance of Cen Yu.

I greeted him and then started working.

The monkey stood beside Cen Yu, saying nothing.

The boss worked quickly... After packing up his tools, he looked at the monkey, "Another one left?"

"Hmm," said the monkey, "a bit troublesome."

The shop owner looked at the earrings and bridges on Cen Yu's ears, as well as the tongue piercing that was visible as he spoke. "Seven," he said, looking at Cen Yu. "I didn't expect you to be so old."

Cen Yu made a nauseous face.

Then the two left the shop, and after a while, the monkey said, "It's unnecessary."

Cen Yu didn't reply.

Monkey didn't continue. He knew that every time a team member left, Cen Yu would leave a mark... as if he were some kind of savior suffering. Monkey had told Jiang Min about it, and Jiang Min said it was up to him. Anyway, everyone had some quirks after the apocalypse, so Cen Yu's was no big deal.

"Will the apocalypse really end?" Cen Yu suddenly asked.

The monkey looked at him. "You believed the charlatan's words?"

They wouldn't call him the prophet; they'd just call him a charlatan.

“A little,” Cen Yu said.

What He Xueqing said before has indeed come true. It seems that the other party does have the ability to foresee the future. As for the so-called future that is spoken of becoming reality, it is probably an ability that they gained after they separated.

"What will you do after the apocalypse ends?" the monkey asked.

"And you?"

"Open a car repair shop?" the monkey said uncertainly, scratching his head. "Maybe by then, cars will be flying in the sky."

“Maybe I’ll go back to school,” Cen Yu said.

The monkey glanced at Cen Yu, then thought about the day it found him, and nodded. "I wish you success."

...

Just as the end times came so suddenly, the prophet's predictions came true.

One day, all the monsters in the underground depression disappeared, followed by new information obtained from the safe zone—

"You mean those are pets kept by other civilizations?!" Jiang Min frowned. They were having a meeting in the room, and they had informants in the safe zone, so they could get some information in advance.

The other person was probably worried about being discovered, so they spoke very softly and hurriedly.

Cen Yu sat in the chair, watching the projected image.

“The safe zone has already made contact with other civilizations,” the man said quickly. “They’re already planning to leave.”

"Then what are we?" Jiang Min asked, biting his cigarette butt. "Cannon fodder?"

"An unlucky guy being bullied by a god's mount?"

"You'll all know about this in a few days," the person said quickly. "To compensate for the losses, that civilization is also willing to provide assistance and invite everyone to join the Universal Alliance."

Cen Yu found it increasingly absurd as she listened, and the entire conference room was filled with smoke.

Jiang Min thought for a moment and then said, "Is this good news?"

Those monsters brought not only mutations, but also severe pollution to many areas, which is why they can only live underground.

Going to the new world might not be such a bad outcome.

“That’s the problem.” The man was also getting anxious. “The prophet said that the people outside the safe zone are all different mutants, which will bring new infections.”

"He only wants to take the people from the safe zone?"

"He said he needed to sweep up the trash first." The man said, sweating profusely as he spoke.

Cen Yu was stunned for a few seconds. "He not only wants the safe zone to leave this place, but he also wants to wipe out all the mutated people."

“It’s not a final decision yet,” the man said quickly. “But as you know, the prophet has a lot of influence. He says that the mutants will bring infection and instability, so the people in the safe zone will definitely believe him.”

"The only thing we can do is stop him from making that decision."

After saying that, the person quickly logged off, seemingly worried about being discovered by others in the safe zone.
