Chapter 413 Gathering All

Meng Shiwan left some crops behind as a token transaction, and then took Sai Xishi back to the RV.

Meng Shiwan placed the black cube in her hand on the cabinet and said to Sai Xishi, "Close all the doors and windows of the RV tightly."

“Okay.” Sai Xishi quickly did as instructed.

Meng Shiwan went upstairs to the second floor to get the other three black cubes.

“Host,” the system suddenly spoke, “I don’t know why, but I have a bad feeling.”

Meng Shiwan could guess that these black cubes might eventually be related to the system, since the system's arrival was the direct cause of the apocalypse.

If we want the apocalypse to end, we might really have to start with the system.

Meng Shiwan said calmly, "You're a system, you act according to procedures, how could you have any premonitions? If your premonition is wrong and something bad happens, it's me who will suffer first, it has nothing to do with you."

The system seemed a little nervous. "I'm not kidding. I really have a bad feeling that this black cube is probably not a good thing."

Meng Shiwan did not answer it again, and carried down three more black cubes from the second floor.

Sai Xishi stood by the car door, looking at her longingly.

Meng Shiwan told her, "No matter what happens, don't panic. As long as I'm not dead, it's not a big problem."

Hearing her say that, Sai Xishi also became a little nervous, feeling that something big was about to happen.

However, she still listened to Meng Shiwan's words and said, "I'll remember."

Meng Shiwan held the three black cubes, stood silently in the corridor for a moment, and then placed them all on the cabinet.

She arranged the four black cubes neatly according to the numbers.

The next second, the four black cubes that were originally tightly fitted and solid suddenly opened up on all four sides, like a mecha composed of countless precision parts, rapidly assembling and fusing to form a helmet-shaped hemisphere.

The semi-circular object moved swiftly, completely enveloping Meng Shiwan's head.

Everything happened too fast. In just a few breaths, the black cube had already transformed and covered Meng Shiwan's head.

Meng Shiwan's body went limp and collapsed. Sai Xishi caught her with lightning speed and cried out in a panic, "Wanwan, Wanwan, what's wrong?"

She called out several times, but Meng Shiwan showed no sign of standing up.

Sai Xishi forced herself to calm down and checked Meng Shiwan's condition. Her breathing was steady and her heartbeat was steady, as if she was just asleep, and there was nothing unusual about her.

She picked Meng Shiwan up and placed her on the sofa. The black helmet, which was neither gold nor stone, completely covered Meng Shiwan's head, making it impossible to see what was inside.

For a moment, Sai Xishi was at a loss, not knowing what had happened or what to do.

At that moment, Meng Shiwan felt a blur before her eyes, and then she was plunged into complete darkness, as black as a black hole, as black as ink that could not be dissolved. Meng Shiwan tentatively reached out her hand, but it was so dark that she could not see her own body at all.

She tentatively called out twice, "Sai Xishi? System?"

The surroundings were completely silent, without even an echo.

No one answered her.

Just then, a ray of light suddenly appeared in the darkness. This ray of light spread and gradually formed a human shape, outlining facial features, like code entering a game world, slowly being read and gradually becoming clear.

Meng Shiwan is very familiar with this person.

"Meng Qingyue?"

The human figure, gradually becoming more realistic thanks to the light, moved, turned around, and smiled, "Meng Shiwan, it's been a long time. I'm so glad to see you again."

At this moment, Meng Qingyue had fully taken on a real human form, with a ponytail, wearing a windbreaker, and smooth, full skin, but her face was haggard.

Everything about her was just like a real person. If it weren't for the light emanating from her illuminating this dark world, Meng Shiwan would have thought she was seeing a real person.

Meng Shiwan walked over and asked, "Are you alive or dead?"

The light emanating from Meng Qingyue illuminated Meng Shiwan's figure. She was dressed the same way as Meng Qingyue, looking much the same.

A ponytail and sportswear are Meng Shiwan's style, but not Meng Qingyue's.

Meng Shiwan was still a little unaccustomed to seeing Meng Qingyue dressed like this.

In Meng Shiwan's memory, Meng Qingyue was an annoying and scheming woman who loved to wear all sorts of high-end, exquisitely crafted dresses to show off her supposed innocence.

Meng Qingyue smiled bitterly, "I am Meng Qingyue from the ninth year of the apocalypse. To be precise, it should be your previous life from the ninth year of the apocalypse. We are having a dialogue across time and space."

"Oh, so you're still alive at this point? What a pity." Meng Shiwan wasn't very friendly to her.

Even though Meng Qingyue left behind the black cube and various clues, Meng Shiwan still wouldn't be grateful to her.

Meng Shiwan clearly remembered how much suffering she endured in the three years of her previous life and how she finally died.

Meng Shiwan would never forgive Meng Qingyue and Gu Jinchen, the two culprits, even if she lived several lifetimes.

Hearing this, Meng Qingyue's face paled even more. "Did I die later? That's right. The fact that I can appear here and meet you means that my Plan A to end the apocalypse failed, and I started Plan B as a backup plan. I'm handing everything over to you to start over. All of this should have been yours."

Meng Shiwan scoffed, "You stole the RV, and now it's a mess. You're telling me it should all have been mine? Don't you find that ridiculous? It's not that I'm overconfident, but if I had the RV in my past life, maybe the apocalypse would have ended long ago."

Meng Qingyue, you're no match for me. Aside from your various underhanded tricks, you're inferior to me in every other aspect. You know this all too well. Anything that's mine, you'll try to snatch to prove how powerful you are.

She fought for her father's love, for the family fortune, for Gu Jinchen, for the house and car—but the result tells you that what doesn't belong to you, even if you take it, you can't control it.

With the apocalypse upon us, what use are your family fortune and Meng Hanyuan? Gu Jinchen betrayed you, and even the RV you stole has become the final, deadly obstacle to take your life.

Every word Meng Shiwan uttered made Meng Qingyue's expression even more unpleasant.

Meng Qingyue knew perfectly well that every word Meng Shiwan said was true, and everything she had taken from Meng Shiwan would eventually become a sharp knife that pierced her own heart.

Even her parents, Meng Hanyuan and Yu Wan, sided with Gu Jinchen in the later stages of the apocalypse, believing that they should rule the world.

Meng Hanyuan and Yu Wan, a couple who once cheated on their partners and even became the other woman but still wanted to be together, ended up going their separate ways as the world fell apart due to the collapse of order in the apocalypse.

Those who should support women should support women, and those who should hire male models should hire male models.

When Meng Qingyue proposed to end the apocalypse, not a single person stood by her side.

Everyone betrayed her, living a decadent and disgusting life under the new order.
