Chapter 85
Three months later
Enigma's arrival, the end of the world just as Aurora predicted, brought new hope. The day she arrived, everyone felt her energy fluctuations, or more accurately, her pheromones, a cold and clear breath like ice and snow.
The psychics feel it more obviously, and they seem to be able to sense some kind of call in their bodies.
Everyone who had been waiting for a long time had tears in their eyes.
It's no surprise that Chen Xing became the Pope of Aurora. Originally, she should have been the leader of the Federation, but she had no interest in ruling humans. After waking up from the giant cocoon, she followed Claire to the Aurora Church and never left the church.
Soon people discovered something exciting - no zombie dared to approach the area where Enigma was, as the zombies were afraid of Enigma's breath.
What great news this is!
As the news spread, many survivors of the apocalypse moved to the East Fifth District.
In just three months, East District Five became the safest zone with the largest population of survivors of the apocalypse. The increase in the human population gave East District a bit of the shadow of the pre-apocalyptic city.
However, a large number of survivors moved to White Flame.
This is a new security zone established a month ago, some distance away from East District 5.
One of the reasons why the White Flame Zone attracts survivors is that there are special people with special abilities who can cure the zombie virus.
A female Omega named Wen Xia Xia jumped three levels from a C-level water ability user to become an S-level special water ability user.
Bai Yan's leader, Lou Tiannan, is the only 3S-level mutant in the apocalypse.
The White Flame District is the area with the largest number of S-level superpowers in the apocalypse. Since its establishment, it has been committed to encircling and suppressing zombies and restoring peace in the city.
This also attracted many people with lofty ideals whose families were destroyed by zombies. They voluntarily joined the team to encircle and suppress zombies and make use of their remaining energy.
Baiyan developed and expanded rapidly, and within a month it had begun to take shape. It was not quite appropriate to call it a safe zone, and perhaps a special forces unit would be more appropriate.
Since the establishment of White Flame, many people have been curious about why White Flame, being so powerful, doesn't cooperate with East District 5? Their enemies are all zombies.
For this reason, some people say that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, which is called "kings cannot meet kings". Some people say that it is because Lou Tiannan offended the Aurora Church, and some people say that Enigma dislikes Lou Tiannan...
In short, there are many different opinions, but as they say, the enemies in both areas are zombies, and no matter which area the survivors go to, it is their sanctuary.
…
Aurora Church
Chen Xing dropped eye drops into his eyes, blinked, and his thick and long eyelashes instantly became moist.
She was really beautiful, with black hair, white skin, black pupils, a straight nose, and red lips. The silver-white hair that fell on her shoulders complemented each other like red fruits in the snow.
The overflowing potion slid down from the corners of her eyes, like a goddess shedding tears.
Claire looked at Chen Xing, her breath stagnating for a moment, then she hurriedly handed her a handkerchief and asked her with concern: "Xingxing, are your eyes better?"
"Well, it's okay." Chen Xing's eyes were burned by Lou Tiannan's black flames on the day he broke out of the cocoon, and he has been unable to open his eyes to see anything since then.
Under normal circumstances, this injury would not cause any problem to her and she would be fully healed in a few days. The bad thing was that she had just woken up and most of her energy was used up when she broke out of the cocoon. The powerful energy of the black flame directly hit the energy core in her body.
If she had not yet broken out of the cocoon, she would have been reincarnated directly under the impact of the black flame energy. Even after breaking out of the cocoon, she was not in much better condition. Her core was burned by the black flame, so that her eyes could not open for a long time.
After three months of using eye drops, she can now open her eyes, but she still cannot see.
She had to wait until her core was repaired before she could see with her eyes. She had observed the energy core in her body and estimated that it would take about half a month.
But it doesn’t matter to her whether she uses her eyes or not. She doesn’t need to rely on her eyes to perceive things. Her consciousness is strong enough to allow her to perceive anything.
She didn't reach out to take the handkerchief from Claire's hand, but raised her fair chin slightly.
The meaning is obvious: wipe it for me.
Of course Claire would not refuse. He took a handkerchief and carefully and gently wiped the eye drops off Chen Xing's cheek.
Shen Xing poked Claire's forehead, and Claire's face immediately turned red.
Claire is still so funny, she thought.
There was no one else in the church room where they were. When Claire and Chen Xing were alone, the Aurora believers would wait outside the door with great tact.
After Claire finished wiping Chen Xing's face, Chen Xing grabbed her wrist as soon as her fingers left. Claire went to see Chen Xing, "Xingxing, what's wrong?"
Chen Xing smiled at him and said slowly: "My energy has recovered a lot."
"That's great." Claire was genuinely happy for her.
"That's really great, but I've wanted to ask this for a long time..." Chen Xing said as he approached Claire. Claire took a step back unconsciously as she looked at Chen Xing approaching her.
Step by step, Claire's back hit the wall. With nowhere to retreat, he asked uncomfortably, "What do you want to ask?"
Chen Xing raised his hand, stroking his cheek to his jaw with his fingertips. It felt like feathers touching his skin. Claire's breathing quickened uncontrollably. Chen Xing's palm landed on his neck and slowly tightened...
Claire's neck was stuck in Chen Xing's palm, her head tilted up unconsciously, and the feeling of suffocation and being unable to breathe filled her mind.
He wanted to resist with his palm, but he suppressed it. He squeezed out a few words with difficulty from his choking mouth: "Xing, Xingxing..." Chen Xing looked at Claire with interest and said, "That thing is in your body, right? What kind of deal did you make with it?"
Claire's face turned pale, with fear and panic in his eyes. He opened his mouth to explain something, but Chen Xing's grip tightened even more, and he was completely speechless.
"Let it out." Chen Xing said calmly, staring into Claire's eyes.
Claire felt like he was going to die. He couldn't breathe at all. His lungs seemed to be gripped by invisible hands, his mouth and nose were blocked by iron blocks, and his vision kept going black.
But no, the stars must not see it.
But many things never go as he wishes.
"You really don't let me underestimate you..." A hoarse voice came out of Claire's mouth.
Claire suddenly became excited. He struggled hard to push the thing back into his body, but——
"Don't move." Chen Xing said to him.
Claire didn't dare to move at once, tears falling from his eyes. He was discovered...
"You really dare to come out!" Chen Xing's interest in the words became stronger. "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
"I'm inside Claire's body. If I die, he will die too." The hoarse voice threatened unscrupulously.
"Ha!" Chen Xing sneered, "Then go to hell!"
She held Claire's neck with one hand, and invisible tentacles quickly entered Claire's open mouth, sneaked into Claire's esophagus, and compressed the living space of that thing in Claire's body little by little until it caught it.
"He's really going to die!" The thing panicked, its hoarse voice sharp and rapid: "His flesh and blood have become one with me! He won't survive even if I'm removed!"
But this did not affect Shen Xing's actions at all. As she pulled it out of Claire's body, she said, "It's okay. Claire is willing to die, right, Claire?"
Claire nodded with difficulty, her voiceless mouth silently mouthing: Yes.
His tears flowed even more. Of course he was willing to die in Chen Xing's hands. This was such a happy thing for him...
"Chen Xing, you will regret this! You will regret doing this!" The hoarse voice made a sharp hiss.
Chen Xing turned a deaf ear to it, and the invisible and colorless tentacles pulled the thing out of Claire's body little by little. Its shape gradually became apparent, a small black irregular object, composed of one tiny protein shell after another.
"You are so ugly. No wonder we needed a microscope to see you back then." Chen Xing was very disgusted.
The black object separated from its host, becoming weaker and shrinking visibly. It asked unwillingly, "Why are you helping humans destroy me?"
Chen Xing disagreed strongly with its words: "I'm not helping humans. I just simply think that you, an ugly thing, should disappear from this world."
"Okay, you don't have the chance to leave a last word." Chen Xing didn't want to waste time talking to the ugly thing. A light flashed in her left hand, and her consciousness tentacles tightly grasped the ugly thing, and she waved her hand down!
The light instantly engulfed the black object.
Chen Xing frowned.
At the same moment, the door of the room suddenly opened from the outside, "Your Holiness, this is bad!"
Chen Xing felt something was wrong and said without even turning his head, "Get out!"
But in just a second, the light disappeared and the ugly thing in the sky disappeared.
"Do you think you can destroy me like this? You are too naive!"
A hoarse voice came from the mouth of the believer who broke in, with a sense of pride. The next moment, the believer fainted on the ground. Chen Xing's consciousness spread rapidly to find its whereabouts, but the ugly thing had completely disappeared.
Claire collapsed against the wall, exhausted. Chen Xing walked over to the unconscious believer, picked him up, and patted him awake. "What's wrong?"
As soon as the believer opened his eyes, he saw the Pope's godlike face very close to him. His mind went blank and he didn't know what to say. Chen Xing had no patience and directly used his consciousness to ask: "What's wrong?"
The cultist spoke in a trance: "Master Kukber was captured by Bai Yan's people."
Oh, that's all!
Chen Xing let go without any interest. It was so boring.
The believer fell to the ground and came to his senses in an instant, "Sir..." He wondered if he had caused any trouble.
Chen Xing waved his hand and said, "You can go out."
The cultist lowered his head and went out. The moment he turned around, he saw Claire lying on the ground. He also noticed that Claire's collar was disheveled and there was a red mark on his neck. The cultist was shocked and thought that he must have gotten into trouble!!!
After the believers left, Claire dragged his breath and crawled to Chen Xing crookedly, "Xing, Xingxing..." His throat was injured due to suffocation, and his voice was hoarse.
Chen Xing looked at him and said, "That thing is really a lie. Aren't you still alive?"
Claire didn't say anything, his tears rolling down the floor tiles like pearls from a broken string. He cried with all his might, his body trembling, his golden hair scattered messily behind his shoulders. In an instant, he seemed to have become the skinny, pitiful, ragged child again.
Chen Xing looked at him expressionlessly, "Where is Xiao Hehua?"
