Twenty-four hours after the seven pillars of light disappeared, researchers conducting on-site studies suddenly detected signs of an impending earthquake and hurriedly fled with their equipment.
The earthquake struck unexpectedly. The superpowered individuals, who had been on guard against further anomalies, used their unique abilities to race against time and ensure that there were no casualties, only the loss of some equipment.
They were horrified to discover that a huge crater had appeared on the ground, its diameter far greater than the beam of light, and even cracks extending outwards for thousands of meters.
Holy shit!
The locations of the eight pillars of light have been determined. The countries originally intended to send people to the last pillar of light, but they were shocked by the aftereffects of the pillar and hurriedly recalled the fleets and aircraft they had dispatched. Then, in the spirit of humanitarianism, they expressed their condolences to the country of Hope.
Two days later, at the eighth beam of light.
Perhaps because the air here was extremely turbid, Cai Wenbin did not die for a long time. At least his mouth was still alive, and he bravely cursed Emperor Xiu's ancestors for eighteen generations.
He had a large hole in his head, which he had dug out and crushed himself. When he did this, his eyes were full of hatred as he looked at Di Xiu.
Normally, a zombie would die completely once it loses its crystal core, but he's not dead yet, though he'll be soon.
The beam of light overhead faded rapidly from top to bottom, as did the red energy enveloping Wuji.
When the beam of light was reduced to its last ten thousand meters, Cai Wenbin was completely reduced to a corpse.
When the red color in the world disappeared, Wuji's appearance was revealed. His left side of his face was covered with red lines, and as he opened his eyes, it could be seen that his left eyeball had also turned red.
He looked about four-tenths like Emperor Xiuben, but the difference was that he had a sword mark between his eyebrows, and his phoenix eyes were rounder and full of vitality. Even when one side turned red, he did not look evil. Instead, he looked like he was holding a blazing sun.
He glanced at the sky, raised an eyebrow and laughed, saying, "Nothing special," then stood up and cupped his hands in a fist salute to Emperor Xiu: "Divine Lord, I have not failed you."
At this point, the turbid air disappeared.
The sky cleared and the sun shone brightly, perfectly representing the mood of Heaven.
Emperor Xiu withdrew his stance, cutting off the energy supply to the formation, and nodded slightly: "Not bad."
"I'll just have a snack and be right back."
Eight hours later, a green dot appeared on Wuji's face, barely noticeable amidst the large expanse of red.
During this time, Di Xiu quietly sensed the movements deep underground beneath his feet, and after a long while, he let out a soft sigh.
For Heaven to intervene and decide the fate of this nation is a glorious achievement worthy of being etched into the nation's history.
After Wuji returned from dealing with the leaked nuclear radiation, Tiandao, without waiting to be called, immediately teleported them away.
Two hours after they left, as in the other seven locations, the impact of the concentrated energy on the region suddenly erupted, even more devastatingly. The Kingdom of Jiepan sank by a third in an instant, triggering a tsunami, and at the same time, a volcano erupted.
...
The Heavenly Dao teleported Di Xiu to the apartment he had previously lived in in Red Bean City. Everything inside remained unchanged, and the talisman behind the doorplate was still safely hidden.
He woke up 001 and checked the recovery situation at home and abroad. In China, nearly one-tenth of the cities had fully restored water, electricity, and internet, and one-fifth of the cities had people moving back in.
"By the way, Wang Hao's parents' house and Wang Hao's house have been specially left unoccupied, but the houses of the neighbors above, below, left, and right have been sold for exorbitant prices."
After a moment of silence, Di Xiu asked, "What are we using to stir-fry?"
"Crystal cores, huh? But the government is already preparing to restore the circulation of the Chinese yuan. By the way, you're almost broke. Want me to send you a bill?"
Di Xiu refused: "How are Chu Rongrong and Chu Yang doing now?"
“They’re all dead,” he said, feeling bored because they were all dead, which is why he went to sleep. “Chu Yang discovered he had AIDS in mid-April two years ago and was burned to death at the end of the month. Also two years ago, in June, Chu Rongrong discovered she was pregnant, used a folk remedy to have an abortion, and died too.”
After Wang Hao's reputation spread, Chu Rongrong and Chu Yang claimed to be Wang Hao's wife and brother-in-law, but no one believed them. The base saw through their scheme and treated them without any discrimination.
Di Xiu then asked, "Where are Mao Qiu and the others?"
"...I didn't notice, I'll check now."
"Just look at where they are now."
After a while, 001 gave a location.
People have already been relocated to Hongdou City, mainly to various residential communities; the apartment buildings in the industrial park area have not been included in the calculation.
Di Xiu destroyed the talisman behind the door sign and found that the big truck was gone, and all the other vehicles had been cleared away. He could only walk to Base No. 5.
Walking down the street, I saw a live broadcast of the reconstruction of homes on a large screen in a shopping mall. The streets were clean and tidy again, and people looked to be in good spirits.
However, the apocalypse left behind some aftereffects. People would suddenly start fighting, and some would even use their strength to rob stores or dine and dash, only to be arrested by the law enforcement team that arrived later...
Lu Shangxiu was recognized and given a ride.
Along the way, the driver would occasionally glance at him in the rearview mirror, his eyes and expression strange, but fortunately he didn't say anything strange, so Di Xiu pretended not to see it.
Base No. 5 is almost deserted. If it weren't for a giant panda stubbornly refusing to leave, it would probably be as empty as the other bases by now.
None of the bases were affected by the zombie horde and remain intact. There are no plans to demolish them now; they are probably intended to be used as tourist attractions in the future.
Base No. 5, thanks to the presence of a giant panda that is further endangered, has spurred the recovery of the surrounding cities, and its population is more densely populated than in most other areas.
