Outside the crowd, Jiang Min also saw the collapsed curtain wall.
According to the original plan, they were on the outer ring to prevent anyone from supporting Zone 1, but they did not expect that in just one night, the high-rise building symbolizing the supreme power of the digital zone would collapse as if it had never existed in the first place.
The monkey stared in disbelief, "...I thought I'd have a chance to make an appearance."
As originally agreed upon with Cen Yu, Cen Yu would operate in District 1 while they looked for opportunities outside.
Once they actually entered the digital zone, they discovered that Zone One seemed to be naturally isolated from other places—even the reinforcements they had imagined did not occur.
Jiang Min stared at the collapsed building in the first district without saying a word, but many people in the crowd shouted, "What do we do?"
The mutated area outside the digital zone also changed as the curtain wall collapsed. The lingering mist slowly disappeared. Jiang Min didn't know if this was a sign that the mutated area had returned to normal, or something else entirely.
What people in the digital zone are probably most concerned about right now is how to build a new curtain wall.
As night fell and the sun rose... with the complete disappearance of the curtain wall, the people in the digital zone finally saw the real sun after the apocalypse.
Jiang Min and the others had already put on the cloaks with practiced ease, while the others on the street cried out in discomfort.
"Where is Cen Yu?" the monkey asked again.
Jiang Min guessed that the other party should be near the building in District 1.
As the sun rose, the neon lights in the digital zone went out, Lu Zhan's holographic projection disappeared, and new advertisements appeared in its place.
...
Cen Yu hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.
At least according to his thinking, the group in District One would have to struggle for a while, and they should have their own squads to protect their safety.
Therefore, the role of Jiang Min's team is to prevent this group from sending reinforcements from the outside.
"I didn't expect it," Cen Yu muttered, "that the power of a prophet is so great."
The prophet's lines are spread throughout the entire building, allowing him to see everything clearly. The group in Zone 1 were probably that confident, believing that no one could escape the "prophet's" eyes, unaware that the prophet already loathed these parasites.
The streets were filled with people bewildered by the collapse of the curtain wall, and some even screamed, saying they didn't want to live that bug-like life anymore.
As Cen Yu passed by, he kicked the man over, and then he and He Yuxing continued walking forward.
He soon discovered someone who shouldn't be there.
"He Xueqing?" He looked at He Xueqing, who was standing on the street corner, looking up at the billboard, with surprise.
The other person was still wearing the same clothes from Qingshan Middle School. "What are you doing here?" Cen Yu was genuinely curious, so he quickened his pace and walked over.
“You are not…” He was about to say that the other party should be buried at the bottom of the tower, but then he remembered that He Xueqing was not human at all, so it was not strange that she escaped from underground.
He Xueqing glanced at Cen Yu, then looked at the collapsed building in Zone 1. "You saw the Prophet?"
He laughed when he said "prophet," as if he found the title quite ridiculous.
Cen Yu recalled that the other party's ability was also related to predicting the future. It seemed that He Xueqing knew the prophet and knew everything about him.
“You know the prophet,” Cen Yu said.
“Of course I know him,” He Xueqing said, looking at Cen Yu. “That’s the end result of kindness and weakness.”
"No one can be a savior."
He glanced at He Yuxing, who was baring his teeth like a puppy guarding its food, before saying to Cen Yu, "There's something Scarface didn't tell you that day."
"He found your name in that pile of exam papers."
Cen Yu certainly remembered what He Xueqing had mentioned... it was the pile of test papers in Teacher Lin's office in the Qingshan Middle School instance.
He remembered that the names on the exam paper were all blurry until he found He Xueqing's name. He didn't continue flipping through the rest because he felt it was pointless.
He didn't quite understand what He Xueqing was trying to say, so he gave her a "so what?" look.
“Neither Scarface nor the bespectacled man saw their names on their own class's test papers,” He Xueqing said.
“You don’t know their names,” Cen Yu said. “That’s not surprising.”
He Xueqing looked at Cen Yu, and he held back for a moment, "Then who do you think I'm waiting for?"
Cen Yu pointed to He Yuxing beside him, "Him?"
He Xueqing was genuinely unhappy now. He gave He Yuxing a disgusted look and said, "What are we doing here, being idiots?"
At this moment, Jiang Min and the others finally arrived. Perhaps not wanting to talk to Jiang Min and the others, He Xueqing muttered something under her breath and then left directly.
Cen Yu watched He Xueqing's retreating figure—
He wasn't pretending to be stupid; he just couldn't believe that He Xueqing was actually waiting for him.
Could it be that the future He Xueqing saw also included her breaking through the dungeon?
Jiang Min spotted Cen Yu, He Yuxing, and that head from afar. Before he could even ask Cen Yu if he was injured, the monkey hopped over and asked Cen Yu how he had done it.
To put it simply, when Cen Yu heard the prophet's words, the people in Jiang Min's team couldn't help but look at the collapsed building.
It seems they also expected that the prophet's final fate would be like this.
Of course, when the monkeys heard Joe's part, they still rallied together to praise the head, saying "Well done!"
He rolled his eyes, not wanting to pay any attention to the monkey.
They knew a bit about what was going on with Ryan. After learning that the underground tower in the wilderness had also disappeared, Jiang Min scratched his head and looked at Cen Yu, "What are your plans now?"
Cen Yu didn't say anything.
Because the system was already telling him that he could leave this world.
...
Having just escaped the world, countless memories flooded Cen Yu's mind.
He saw himself sitting in the classroom...
He sat in the last row, with a somewhat thin figure in front of him.
Cen Yu leaned on the table and carefully poked the person in front of him with his pen. "Lend me my school uniform." He made a gesture of help, "I forgot to wear my school uniform."
The boy in front turned around; his bangs were a bit long, giving him a gloomy appearance.
But when he saw Cen Yu, his expression softened slightly. "...You forgot again?" he said softly, but still handed Cen Yu the school uniform jacket that was behind the chair. "I'll get it when I get back to the dorm."
"Thanks," Cen Yu said, then deftly put on his school uniform jacket.
He propped his head up and looked at He Xueqing, "I'll go to the dormitory with you later."
He Xueqing was about to say that it wasn't necessary and that he could go by himself, but then she thought of something and didn't say anything in the end. She nodded and then turned her head away.
After a while, Cen Yu's neighbor tossed him a crumpled piece of paper.
"Seriously, boss? You actually dared to talk to him?"
Cen Yu crumpled up the paper and threw it into the desk drawer. "Crazy," he said.
I don't know if he was cursing the person who threw him the note, or someone else.
