Soon, the staff brought over scissors. Liu Mingfeng took the scissors himself and quickly cut his hair into shoulder-length layers. Then he asked the staff to find him something to put his hair up in a bun.
Feng Minghao watched Liu Mingfeng skillfully styling her hair. Only then did he understand why Liu Mingfeng had been learning hairstyling from Lin Yuwei for the past few days, and why he had been experimenting on Wu Qiaoqiao's hair so frequently. It was just that Wu Qiaoqiao's hair had been cut haphazardly after her injury, and even after trimming, it wasn't very long. But it was alright; he had managed to tidy up Wu Qiaoqiao's medium-length hair, so there was definitely no problem with her having long hair.
After Liu Mingfeng finished tying his hair up, he was led by staff to the leader's office. Having witnessed such a miraculous scene, they believed what Liu Mingfeng had said. After Liu Mingfeng came in, the leader asked him to sit down.
"Comrade Hua, we believe what you've said and your background. Now, could you please tell us what exactly happened at that time? And is there anything else you need us to do?"
"You're too kind. Since we want to make changes, we'll definitely tell you what happened. It's just that this place is a bit of a hassle. Could we please go to your conference room?"
Seeing Liu Mingfeng's suggestion, Number One nodded and said the conference room was more spacious. However, before heading to the conference room, Number One asked Liu Mingfeng if he minded having a few more people. Liu Mingfeng replied that the leader could call as many people as he wanted, as long as they felt they could rely on and trust them. So Number One picked up the phone on the table and dialed. He then called over some old buddies, all of whom had come from that time and were trustworthy and reliable.
After making the call, the group got up and headed to the meeting room. Once everyone was there, Liu Mingfeng first took out a tablet computer. Then he took out a speaker; the two were connected, and a video feed appeared on the blackboard behind them.
The people in the conference room saw photos and videos playing continuously on the screen. As they played, Liu Mingfeng explained what each item was and when it happened.
"In 2023, some people began dumping nuclear wastewater into the ocean, and the first to suffer were the marine life. They slowly mutated, becoming something that humans could not eat. Despite repeated warnings, they did not listen and continued to dump nuclear wastewater into the ocean, causing the polluted area of the ocean to expand. This polluted seawater, after being exposed to the sun, turned into water vapor and rose into the sky, damaging the Earth's atmosphere. With the atmosphere damaged, the sun's temperature has been rising year by year."
As everyone looked at the photos and videos, at the azure sea turned black by pollution, and at the strangely shaped aquatic products, the irritable old general slammed his fist on the table, stood up, and began to curse.
"Damn it, I knew those guys were no good. We should have just wiped them all out back then, then we wouldn't know how they'd dare to cause trouble."
Everyone in the conference room was furious, their hands practically pointing above their heads as they gestured. They were purely angry because they knew the ocean was polluted; how were the residents of coastal cities who relied on fishing supposed to survive? Finally, Number One slammed his hand on the table, signaling everyone to be quiet and listen to Liu Mingfeng continue.
"Under these circumstances, we finally faced the end of the world. On February 7, 2044, the temperature on Earth rose rapidly, causing many people to fall ill. Hospitals were overflowing. This temperature rise lasted for a whole month, and after that month, we faced three days of complete darkness. There was no sun or any light for those three days. After those three days, it got light, but people also faced the most terrifying moment."
"Those who had fallen ill due to the high temperature all turned into man-eating monsters when they woke up again; we call them zombies."
The video showed grotesque, inhuman creatures chasing humans, who then became their prey. Many gasped in shock. As the video and photos played, and with Liu Mingfeng's explanation, everyone learned that Earth hadn't abandoned its children. Besides those who had become monsters, some hadn't, and these individuals had all awakened an ability—what Liu Mingfeng called superpowers. These superpowered individuals were always at the forefront of eliminating zombies.
However, Earth was so badly damaged that it couldn't be repaired. After the zombies were eliminated, they began preparing to migrate to interstellar space. Some people didn't want to migrate and stayed behind to try to repair Earth. Hua An and his group were descendants of those who stayed behind.
No matter how hard they tried, their mother, already riddled with wounds, could never be repaired. Seeing little hope, An and his group devoted themselves to researching time travel technology, hoping to change the past and create an infinite future. However, they all knew that if the past could be changed, it wouldn't be their current future, but rather another parallel universe. But one must always hold onto hope, mustn't one?
In the final moments before Earth's collapse, Ann and the others boarded the space shuttle. It was only then that Ann learned that the body could not travel through time; only the mentally ill, or the soul, could travel through time. However, if the soul's strength was insufficient, it would perish within the time tunnel during the journey.
When An transmigrated to this era, it was the man known as Zhuge Miaoshou who was expanding the cave, though An could see it. The time was too ancient to significantly alter the future, so she didn't enter Zhuge Miaoshou's body and awaken, instead falling into a deep slumber. Before this slumber, An knew that when she awoke again, her complete annihilation wouldn't be far off.
The reason she woke up in Liu Mingfeng's body this time was because he was injured and unable to move. If Liu Mingfeng's body had been healthy, it would have been difficult for An to enter his body at that time. An also told everyone present that she thanked Liu Mingfeng for not resisting, because if Liu Mingfeng had resisted fiercely at this time, it would have accelerated An's dissipation.
