Chapter 18 This world has gone mad



A cold female voice suddenly rang out from behind, startling even the top boss.

The entire audience erupted in uproar, staring in disbelief at the person who had inexplicably appeared on the stage. Some rubbed their eyes in disbelief, thinking they were seeing things.

The guards and security personnel were on high alert, everyone was extremely tense. At this distance, if the woman was carrying a weapon, it would be enough to kill her instantly.

Some people had already quietly set up their guns. The importance of the commander-in-chief was obvious even to a fool. At this moment, the guards around him were secretly groaning. When they returned from this mission, they would probably all be replaced.

Being substituted is the least of his worries; he'll probably be punished.

Suddenly, something beyond their comprehension happened.

The guard holding the gun suddenly felt a lightness in his hand. The solid gun barrel in his hand suddenly turned into strands of metal particles, flew out of his hand, and disappeared.

Disappeared?

That's it?

Is it haunted?

At this moment, those who believe in science and reality have suffered an unprecedented blow to their worldview!

The guards were taken aback and immediately tried to jump up from the ground. Some of them were so frightened that they felt a jolt.

However, before their subconscious bodies could even react, they sensed something was wrong. Their brains clearly signaled to their bodies, but their movements were as slow as snails.

Or rather, it's not even as good as a snail.

Their minds were still functioning normally; they should immediately report the situation and assess their surroundings, alerting their teammates or searching for any trace of the missing weapon…

But now, their hands and feet are stiff, and even with all their might, they can only move a mere 1cm.

Some people were so shocked that they opened their mouths as if to say something, but even the simple act of opening their mouths became incredibly difficult, natural yet slow.

Throughout the entire event, only one person's actions remained exactly the same as usual.

At this moment, those who were already at eye level with the podium finally realized something was wrong, and the guards at eye level with the podium finally saw where their guns had finally flown.

Metallic particles condensed in the air and floated around the woman on the stage.

The long black trench coat enveloped the woman, making her appear tall and mysterious. Her long hair cascaded down to her waist, and even her profile alone was enough to send shivers down one's spine. Standing there, she exuded an aura of unwavering resolve.

One glance is enough to awe you, as if she were a towering mountain.

"Long time no see... no, I should say, it's our first meeting, Lord Chief." Shi Yin approached the Lord Chief, her expression softening slightly as she looked at his sparse white hair. "Next, I need to discuss some matters with you, and only with your people, and I need your full support."

"Smack."

Shi Yin stretched out her hand and snapped her fingers lightly.

As people returned to normal, all electrical equipment flickered twice and then went into a state of malfunction and stagnation.

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

Some people, realizing something was wrong, suddenly recovered, while others fell due to excessive force. Some even shouted out their fears, startling themselves. Many more were in a state of panic and unease.

Of course, most of them sat quietly in place, eyes downcast, seemingly unperturbed, whether genuinely calm or just feigning composure was unclear.

"At the end of the Supreme Conference, I had some people who did not belong to you temporarily leave the scene in order to contact you as quickly as possible. Please forgive my rudeness."

Shi Yin turned to the side, and a large screen behind her lit up out of thin air, displaying memories of the apocalypse extracted from Shi Yin's perspective.

In the video, people are walking normally on the street at first, with people coming and going. Then someone suddenly suffers pain and undergoes a strange change. Someone who kindly goes forward to check on them is bitten instead.

At first, everyone thought it was some kind of mental illness and didn't pay much attention. Unexpectedly, because the police were bitten during the arrest, the police station was the first to fall, and then the whole city began to fall.

This is just the beginning.

Then came the extreme weather. Winter was late this year, and early winter was strangely warm and spring-like all over the world. It seemed to be a way to reflect the end times and express despair. All the flowers that should have been in warm spring bloomed for three months in a row, and major scenic spots made a fortune.

Until the depths of winter, extreme cold swept across the globe, and even the equator and deserts were covered in snow. The earth was almost overnight covered in a layer of white, and all electrical appliances were rendered unusable overnight.

Fortunately, some people had already sensed something was wrong, and their sense of crisis allowed some to survive. In fact, because the zombies were frozen solid, the danger was reduced considerably.

But then came extreme heat.

Those whose curtains weren't thick enough suffered greatly, with a sharp increase in the probability of skin diseases and cancer. After a long period without rain, acid rain arrived, and the world almost became a wasteland.

That's not all; there are also mutated insects and wildly growing plants, which are enough to send chills down your spine just by looking at them.

“I have the ability and time to gain your trust. I am a reborn person, no one has been reborn more times than me, and I will lead everyone to a new world.” A colorful halo floated in the palm of Shi Yin’s left hand, flickering a few times before disappearing: “First of all, I want to gain your absolute trust and support.”

The entire room fell silent.

There's so much information!

It's like a baby who has just learned to drink milk, sucking on the bottle thinking that life is peaceful, when suddenly someone pulls the bottle out, grabs a handful of meat and shoves it into the baby's mouth without saying a word, and even tries to push it down the throat.

Eat it! Swallow it!

Otherwise, you'll die!

The entire room fell silent.

Shi Yin wasn't in a hurry. After she finished speaking, she didn't look at everyone's reaction and walked off the stage to the side door. There, all the reporters waiting outside were lying on the ground, fast asleep.

Shi Yin stood by the door, looked at the chief behind her, and gestured for him to enter.

That look in his eyes was very obvious.

Come on, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and take me to a small dark room to talk.

The Consul General stood still, looked around, stepped down from the podium, and whispered a few words to his secretary.

Several people immediately sprang into action, sealing off the entire building inside and out. Everyone stayed put and awaited further instructions, maintaining order while cutting off all communication between the inside and outside.

In addition, the commander-in-chief specifically assigned several people to stand by, as he grasped the key point Shi Yin had made.

The woman who suddenly appeared wants him and his people. If the scene she showed is indeed the future, then the person who gets firsthand information must be a trusted confidant.

After arranging everything, the chief looked at the woman at the door.

Shi Yin leaned against the door frame, looking lazy and indifferent, seemingly completely unconcerned about the horrifying thing she had done.

Sensing the leader's gaze, Shi Yin nodded slightly and stepped aside to make way for him.

The commander-in-chief raised his hand and waved away the guards who wanted to follow.

This would have been absolutely impossible under normal circumstances.

He needs to ensure his absolute safety. Not only does he need to care about himself, but others also need to care about him. If he gets injured, more than just a few people will be held accountable.

But for some reason, when he saw Shi Yin, he felt a strange sense of familiarity and trust, a very strong intuition.

Long time no see... no, nice to meet you for the first time.

The world seems to be going crazy, and he seems to be going crazy too, actually wanting to take a gamble just because of that sentence.

After regaining his composure, the leader followed Shi Yin out.
