Chapter 42



Xie Tianlang had some guesses about Gou Fugui's true identity.

When they were urgently summoned by the state and arrived at Fugui Street in Wenchang County, they already knew from eyewitness accounts that someone had jumped into the doomsday gate.

At that time, neither he nor any of the soldiers and officers on duty paid much attention to that person.

I heard that he was chased and forced to the black vortex of the Doomsday Gate by a group of people. He was apparently a gambler and a hoodlum. It's not surprising that a desperate gambler would choose to enter the Doomsday Gate to try his luck.

To put it bluntly...

Xie Tianlang didn't believe that person could survive and walk out of the apocalypse.

Being number one sometimes represents excellence, but sometimes it represents extreme danger and death.

Therefore, Xie Tianlang did not initially suspect that the long-haired youth was the first person to jump into the Doomsday Gate.

It's even less likely that they would suspect anything strange about the sea otters appearing in the ocean.

Until he discovered that the sea otter's every word and action was too intelligent, almost human-like; until he was dragged to the beach by the long-haired youth while he was momentarily unconscious; until more and more miraculous and unbelievable changes occurred in the youth; until—

The young man understood all their songs and all their words, and did the same things as them in every action.

Xie Tianlang was somewhat surprised, but more than surprised, he guessed that the young man might be the one who entered the Gate of Doomsday before them.

The mere thought of this might have made him chuckle, but now, as that proud, long-haired youth truly vanished before his eyes, accomplished what he had failed to do, and proved that he came from the same world as him, Xie Tianlang pressed his chest slightly and chuckled.

More than joy, he was worried about whether the young man was alright and whether he had returned to his hometown where there were no storms or waves.

But soon he no longer had the time or the inclination to think about those things.

He heard a sound that belonged to the world, a sound he hadn't heard since he fell into the sea.

[The core of this world has been repaired! All non-human life will be evacuated within three minutes. Rescuers, please prepare.]

Xie Tianlang keenly sensed that the voice of the world speaking this time was colder than before, and seemed to carry a hint of joy.

It seems that even a world is unwilling to perish.

Xie Tianlang closed his eyes, and thinking of the young man's overly bright and smug smile when he left, he chuckled softly as well.

"Yuanyuan is really amazing."

This was probably the first time in his mission career that he had lost to someone.

However, if he can achieve this good result every time, then it doesn't matter if he loses a few more times.

With only three minutes left, Xie Tianlang was too lazy to go back. He stood on the edge of the giant ship, which was not completely closed, intending to see the final appearance of this world occupied by heavy rain and the ocean.

At this moment, the enormous tremor that had emanated from the deep seabed and instilled fear in all life had ceased, and the waves that had been whipped up by the tremor had lost their momentum and began to fall weakly.

Xie Tianlang looked up at the sky and even felt that the heavy rain that had lasted for so long and seemed to never stop had become gentle.

Perhaps the world will soon see the bright sunshine again. But he, a stranger in a foreign land, will probably never see it.

"Woof! Woof woof!"

"Help! Help me! I'm about to be shaken to death! Help me!"

Just as Xie Tianlang was waiting for An Ran to leave, he suddenly heard a familiar dog barking and the voice of a cheeky parrot.

His sharp eyes followed the sound and he saw a cat, a dog, and a parrot, all tightly encased in a transparent survival sphere.

At this moment, the three animals trapped in the survival ball were forced to roll around inside the ball because of its tumbling motion. Even the winged parrot could not fly out of the ball, and even the once majestic German Shepherd was now listless and drifting along with the current, looking utterly hopeless.

Although the German Shepherd bit off the survival ball from its neck at the crucial moment, even a German Shepherd couldn't stand at attention inside the round ball.

Xie Tianlang laughed out loud.

Then, amidst the shocked, bewildered, and speechless gazes of Qin Feng, Song Sanchuan, and Lu Hu, who had also received a notification from Earth's consciousness and rushed out, he jumped directly into the still turbulent waves and swam to the small survival sphere at an absolutely inhuman speed. In the last moments, he threw the survival sphere, along with the three animals inside, back into the giant ship.

Then Xie Tianlang in the sea, and Song Sanchuan, Qin Feng and Lu Hu by the boat, disappeared from Jin Mantang's incredulous gaze as he stumbled and staggered to the door.

At the same time, Jin Mantang, who was standing there in a daze, heard the broadcast from the giant ship.

According to the latest monitoring, the apocalyptic undersea earthquake has stopped, and storms and tsunamis in all regions of the world are weakening exponentially! The heavy rains are expected to cease within the next month! Fellow survivors, humanity has survived the greatest catastrophe! We have a future and hope!!

Jin Mantang was stunned again upon hearing the announcement on the giant ship. This was even more unbelievable to him than when he had personally witnessed Xie Tianlang and his three companions disappear.

Just when annihilation seemed imminent, everything appeared to change in those few short minutes.

It's as if someone forcibly turned the wheel of fate around, leading death towards hope.

So, were those four people who disappeared the ones who changed their fate?

Were the wealthy brothers, whom he had always believed in and even found miraculous, also the driving force of fate?

Amidst the ecstatic laughter and cries of countless survivors aboard the mountain-like vessel, Jin Mantang locked eyes with the three animals inside the survival sphere, and then he heard his grandfather's voice:

"Mantang, where's Xiao Fugui? And Xiao Xie and the others?"

Jin Mantang looked at the still stubbornly standing roof of the world as far as the eye could see, and heard his own answer: "...The hero saved the world, so he probably went back?"

Normally, upon hearing such a nonsensical answer, Old Master Jin would have slapped him across the face.

But this time, the wise old man reached out and patted the husky's big head next to him, nodding in agreement.

"The heroes saved the world, so it is our job to restore its vitality."

Humans are the most resilient life forms. Even if the world becomes a vast ocean, their faith will remain as upright as a towering mountain, reaching straight to the sky.

"It's just starting over again."

At the summit of that one and only remaining mountain in the world, a one-eyed wolf king, soaking wet and covered in scars, stood on the only land, letting out an indomitable howl towards the sky and the sea.

Behind it were countless other animals, equally scarred but struggling to survive.

...

"Ah, I wonder if Little Fugui has found the box yet?"

"I don't know, but Grandpa, look at that trash who threw the box, he's cursing like crazy. Maybe his final plan didn't work out?"

"Not only did he not succeed, but judging from his ugly appearance, he probably failed miserably as well."

"I'm not crazy! I didn't see wrong! That long-haired guy isn't human! I watched him disappear into the sea with the box!! And his accomplices with him! They all disappeared! Disappeared!!"

The crazed leader yelled at the soldiers who came to arrest him, pointing at Jin Mantang: "He saw it too! He saw it too!! Ask him!"

Jin Mantang, his face pale, looked at his stomach: "I didn't see anything. It was like I saw them jump into the sea."

"You're lying!! You're lying! Don't you know that lying will get you struck by lightning?!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Mantang paused for a moment, feeling inexplicably guilty.

The next second, as if it were having a final, celebratory spree before disappearing, thunderclaps from the sky crashed down on the mountain-like behemoth with a deafening roar!

Before anyone could react, all the thunderbolts struck the leader who had stolen the box, perfectly proving that his lie would be punished by lightning.

Jin Mantang: "!!" Holy crap.

The soldiers who came to arrest the person for intentional injury: "..."

"Is he still alive?"

"...It's really unfortunate that he's still alive."

Living like this is more painful than being dead.

Mr. Jin concluded by saying, "Heaven has eyes."

Then the old man added, "If God is particularly discerning, I hope my little Fugui will also receive my gift."

Jin Mantang suddenly turned to look at his grandfather, his eyebrows almost raised: "Grandpa! That's why I couldn't find it when I got back! Did you take it a long time ago?!"

Grandpa Jin chuckled, turned around, and dragged away the survival ball containing the black-backed creatures.

"Kid, you're still a long way from being as good as me!"

...

February 5, 2222.

The gates of doom have been descending upon the world for three days.

During these three days, countries around the world urgently sealed off all "Doomsday Gates" within their borders. While gathering various researchers to discuss and study the issues, they also dispatched their own exploration teams to tentatively enter the "Doomsday Gates."

Many countries' exploration teams were exceptionally well-prepared, bringing with them a variety of high-tech products, ammunition, and weapons.

However, regardless of the material of the listening and monitoring products, they all became unusable the moment the exploration team passed through the black vortex of the Doomsday Gate.

In fact, a certain powerful nation that reveres military might equipped its expedition team with extremely dangerous heavy weapons such as rocket launchers and anti-aircraft guns.

However, when these weapons came into contact with the black vortex, they vanished completely, like cotton candy melting in water.

Clearly, the other world beyond the Gate of Doomsday refuses entry to such items.

These seemingly powerful weapons are not essential for bringing hope to the apocalypse.

This situation has made many countries and forces that were already terrified of the doomsday gate even more vigilant and cautious, and various discussions, speculations and experiments have been carried out more intensively.

However, no matter how much they did around the Doomsday Gate, without personally entering it, they obtained almost no useful information.

None of the exploration teams from various countries that entered the Gate of Doomsday have returned to this day.

Ah, no.

On February 5th, someone returned.

Rescuers can choose their landing location.

The wealthy and beautiful woman, who thought she was going to be eliminated or arrested upon landing, was overjoyed.

Anywhere is fine?!

[Successful rescuers receive special treatment, that's possible.]

The wealthy beauty, clutching the suitcase, chuckled and said, "Let's go big! Let's go to Zhou Changming's villa! Just take me straight to the basement."

"While I still have the ability..."

I'm going to destroy his stronghold.

【Can. 】

Three minutes later, the Chinese military guarding Fugui Street detected a huge energy fluctuation at the Doomsday Gate on Fugui Street.

As all the warriors urgently surrounded the Gate of Doom and stood ready for battle, they saw ten people being thrown high into the air and spat out by the black vortex as if they were spitting saliva!

These were their first ten comrades who entered the Gates of Doom!

"Thank you, Captain!!"

"Captain Qin!!"

"Little Sanzi!!"

Before the leading general and the others could even express their joy, everyone around the vortex saw the huge black vortex they were surrounded begin to slowly close!

Xie Tianlang, having landed steadily, turned to look at the closing and disappearing black vortex, and uttered the words that everyone had been hoping for but dared not confirm:

"Reporting to the general, the apocalypse beyond the Doomsday Gate has been repaired."

"The end of the world is over, and a new beginning is here."

A moment later, a burst of excited cheers rang out on Fugui Street.
