Chapter 174 Meow Meow
It’s been forty years since the end of the world.
Everyone present, regardless of gender, age or status, has more or less fantasized in various dreams that one day, a voice will appear and tell them, "Your doomsday is over."
They had imagined that they would be ecstatic, cry with excitement, be in disbelief, hug and look at their relatives and friends over and over again...
However, when this moment really happened, everyone's first reaction was:
stay.
"W-what?"
"The end of the world is over... Is it really over? Are you kidding me? Why does it feel like it's not real to me?"
"Is it because of Boss Jian?"
"Pinch me, I must still be dreaming."
Yes, I have been looking forward to it so many times, but this time, this voice that came from nowhere announced so lightly that these forty years soaked in countless blood and tears, these forty years of mankind's struggle for survival... are over?
While most people were still immersed in disbelief, a man suddenly ran out from the corner, raised his middle finger to the sky and shouted:
"Who are you? Why do you say the end of the world is over? I don't agree!!!"
Everyone: “…”
Everyone: “Huh?”
The person who ran out was Li Zhou.
To be precise, it was Li Zhou who managed to survive after all his hair was burnt, half of his leg was lame, and he pushed all his brothers and followers out to block the knife.
During the entire apocalypse, he and Shouhou and others have been hiding nearby, looking for a suitable opportunity to come out - it must be a handsome, majestic one, with a feeling of "shining debut", and it would be best if they could get rid of all these traitors and take over the porridge shop that can repair the crystal core.
However, Li Zhou waited and waited. At the beginning, he was drooling over pumpkin porridge and seafood porridge. Later, the meteorite kiss mutated and corrosive rain fell from the sky. Li Zhou had to pull out Shouhou and others to serve as human barriers. Later, the sky fell and the world was about to close...
Li Zhou never waited for his chance to appear.
At the moment when heaven and earth came together, he, like many others, thought that this was the real end of the world.
However, I heard news that was worse than the end of the world.
"The Doomsday is over?!!!" Li Zhou's eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was crazy. "No, I will not allow the Doomsday to end. I am S-class mercenary Li Zhou. I have the most powerful lightning energy crystal core. I will not allow the Doomsday to end--"
Before the end of the world, Li Zhou was just an ordinary gangster. He couldn't study and dropped out of school very early. He committed petty thefts from time to time and was later sent to prison for theft. At that time, Li Zhou really didn't know what the meaning of life was.
But after the doomsday, everything suddenly changed: he awakened A-level superpowers, and his superpowers were genetically enhanced and could prolong his life. That's why, forty years after the doomsday, he still looked like a young twenty-year-old.
Because of his A-level supernatural powers, Li Zhou became a superior person in the Eastern Base. Not only did he receive preferential treatment wherever he went, he was also respected as Mu Dongsheng's right-hand man, and he got to choose any resources first.
But, this is not enough...
Now, he has finally obtained Mu Dongsheng's special powers and has become the real leader of the Eastern Base, but his good days will not last long. You tell him that the doomsday is over? ? ! !
He can't accept it! ! ! !
However, in the face of the will of heaven and earth, all mortal protests seem so insignificant.
The unconscious Mu Dongsheng's eyelashes moved, and at the same time, the red-haired baby in his arms opened his eyes.
The baby clenched his fists slightly, looked at the sky, and a light appeared in his eyes. The next second, everyone present felt a heat in their dantian, and then——
Balls of light peeled off from everyone's bodies and rose into the air.
Someone looked at the ball of light that had separated from his body and said in surprise: "That's my supernatural crystal core!"
Amid waves of exclamations, everyone raised their heads and watched the supernatural crystal core that originally belonged to them leave their bodies and fly into the air.
Finally, it merged into the dazzling galaxy.
Whether it was physical enhancement, sensory, healing or repair - all superpowers, at this moment, had completely disappeared from this world.
Well, now that the apocalypse is over, they don’t need super powers anymore.
After using super powers for so long, many people thought that they would not be able to adapt to the feeling of losing their super powers. But in fact, it doesn’t.
The moment the crystal core left, what most people really felt was... relief.
There is no need to fight bloody battles anymore, and there is no need to experience life and death separation with companions again and again.
From this moment on, they have to rely on their own hands and feet to rebuild their own homes.
People looked at the people around them, and slowly, they held hands.
“…”
But Li Zhou was not so lucky.
After the supernatural crystal core was extracted, the effect of the genetic modification quickly faded, and he aged rapidly, revealing his true age. His hair turned from black to gray, his back became hunched, and wrinkles appeared on his face.
He touched his cheek in disbelief, trembling: "No, no, you can't do this to me... No..."
But no one cares anymore.
At this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the distance, getting closer and closer.
Everyone's celebration stopped instantly.
Li Zhou raised his head and looked into the distance. When his vision finally focused, he suddenly felt ecstatic: "Haha, the doomsday is over? It's just impossible for me. Look, the alien tide is coming. You don't have superpowers, so you're all going to die. Haha, hahaha..."
No one believed his nonsense at first.
But when they looked in the direction where the sound came from, everyone was shocked.
What comes into view is:
Alien tide.
The mighty alien tide, like every previous tragic alien invasion, came menacingly from afar. If someone is familiar with geography, they will realize that the direction they came from is the nursery of the Eastern Base. It was obvious to the naked eye that all the alien species in this wave were high-level alien species, the Void Extreme, the Hundred Ghosts Nirvana, the Abyss Simulant Butterfly...
They were very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had come from far away to the front.
Everyone's faces turned pale instantly, and many people's legs went weak.
They have all lost their special powers now. How can they fight back against so many high-level alien species?
"Is the end of the world a lie?"
"Haha, just to make us let down our guard so that we can catch them all in one fell swoop..."
"Wait, don't despair yet, take another look!"
Murong Miao suddenly shouted loudly: "Those alien species don't seem to be coming towards us!"
Everyone looked at it with half belief and half doubt...
really.
When the group of aliens passed by the mercenaries, they did not stop at all, not even a glance, but passed by them directly, rushing towards them hungrily -
That simple porridge shop with a light on.
Everyone: “?”
The mercenaries hugged each other and shivered, carefully observing the alien tide. This observation discovered something wrong.
At the forefront of the alien tide, there is a little girl.
The little girl was delicate and looked very cute, with big black eyes, black hair combed into two little buns, and wearing a green Taoist robe. She sat on the back of the Abyssal Butterfly and commanded the aliens majestically:
"Come on, my boss's porridge shop is right in front! - Hey, no more crowding, queueing up one by one... Shit, where's my boss?"
Little, little girl?
How could a little girl appear in a place like this?
And... so many alien species actually listen to her obediently?
Everyone couldn't help rubbing their eyes, thinking they were still dreaming.
But the facts before us are indisputable.
This scene is almost too fantastical:
A group of burly, high-risk aliens that could easily destroy an entire base, under the command of the little girl, in front of that simple porridge shop...
They lined up obediently.
The Void One lowered his head, Bai Gui Nie retracted his waving tentacles, and the Desert Wood Soul even cut his body in half just to blend into the team.
Hu Danggui nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, you all know the rules! Do you have enough money?"
The aliens nodded obediently.
"Okay, pumpkin porridge, seafood porridge, three gold coins a bowl, line up in order to get the porridge!"
...Then, a jaw-dropping scene appeared.
The aliens lined up obediently in the queue, and no one cut in line even though they were eagerly waiting and drooling with anticipation. After they got the porridge one by one, they squatted beside it and savored it carefully.
The huge body holding a small bowl of porridge looked a bit funny.
There was also a desert dead creature in the alien team. Its huge skeleton was curled up into a small ball in a somewhat cowardly manner, holding the porridge cherishingly - the porridge was even smaller than the gap between its teeth, literally not enough to fill the gaps between its teeth.
But even so, the dead in the desert still eat very preciously.
It licked it in small sips, savoring each bite over and over again, smacking its lips.
Hu Danggui acted as the store owner, clerk, and order manager, and soon she was sweating profusely. But looking at the well-behaved aliens, she nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad..."
The reason why Hu Danggui appears here is simple.
When Jian Yunlan, Taotie and Niu Tou were setting up stalls in the Eastern Base and the Death Desert, she was lurking in the nursery the whole time and completing the nursery's side copy. The seemingly peaceful nursery actually hides a deep meaning. Moreover, there is not a single real child in the entire nursery; they are all advanced aliens in disguise!
Hu Danggui finally completed the copy, tamed all the alien species lurking in the nursery, and promised to bring them to the Simple Porridge Shop to drink porridge.
However, when she finally brought the aliens to Jiandan Porridge Shop, Jian Yunlan and Taotie had already disappeared...
There was no other choice, Hu Danggui could only act as the temporary shop owner and shoulder the heavy responsibility.
Hu Danggui wiped his sweat, looked at the aliens who were happily drinking porridge in front of him, and sighed: "Well, I'll finish the work quickly, and then go find the master and others."
Suddenly, a cautious voice came to my ear:
"Hello, um, I'm sorry, this porridge is only sold to aliens... or can we humans also queue up..."
Hu Danggui was stunned and looked over.
The mercenaries looked at Zhou with longing eyes, and then looked at the alien species around them with fear.
They seemed to hesitate for a long time, but finally overcame their fear, walked up to Hu Danggui and asked this question.
…
...Later, people realized that the pollutant Meteoric Kiss was the core of all pollutants. When the Meteoric Kiss lost all its fighting and aggressive desires and returned to its original state, there was no need for other alien species to invade humans.
The night sky is dotted with stars.
On the ground, people spontaneously lit bonfires.
The post-apocalyptic ruins were clearly divided into two sides.
On the left, there are terrifying alien species, they shrink their huge bodies, and drink from the porridge bowls in an orderly manner;
On the right, there were the surviving human mercenaries, who gathered in groups of two or three with their relatives and friends, wrapped up their stalls, lit a bonfire, held hot and fragrant porridge, and discussed rebuilding the base;
When Mu Dongsheng woke up, the first thing he smelled was the aroma of hot seafood porridge. It was Boss Jian's seafood porridge. The familiar fragrance made Mu Dongsheng wake up all of a sudden.
I could vaguely hear the sound of people from Team 11 talking and laughing.
Click. A snowflake landed on his cheek but was quickly brushed away by a pair of hands.
Mu Dongsheng opened his eyes.
His blurry vision gradually came into focus, and in front of him, a red-haired boy with a childish face smiled at him: "Hello, my name is Yunwen, nice to meet you."
After a long while, Mu Dongsheng reached out and held those hands.
"My name is Mu Dongsheng." he replied.
“…”
The first winter for humans and alien species has begun.
