A person's emotions contain a part of the truth; my part of the truth is called restrained love. — Zino
The capital city.
A villa.
An elderly man with white hair is writing at his desk.
Words flowed slowly from his pen: The end times will not come with a commotion, but will arrive quietly. Fortunately, someone sounded the alarm. The person who sounded the alarm was Lin Que.
An elegant middle-aged woman brought in tea and looked down at him as he wrote. "Writing a post-apocalyptic memoir? Why not use a computer? Handwriting is too slow."
"Handwritten words have warmth. Anyway, I don't have much to do, so I'll just write slowly and kill time!" The old man raised his head and sipped his tea leisurely.
His hair was gray, but he was in good spirits. He looked neat, clean, and very well-mannered. Seeing him, one could easily think of the words "old-fashioned gentleman."
He is Zino.
The middle-aged woman is An Ke'er.
An Ke'er nodded, looking at Ji Nuo's writing with a pleasant expression. She liked the turbulent years described by Ji Nuo.
She did not participate in the first half of the apocalypse, but she participated in the second half.
"Mom will be very happy to see you write this."
Zino took Anker's hand and pressed his face against her palm, feeling much better. "Your mother is amazing."
My eyes are moist.
I feel a little sad.
This sadness isn't because of the fleeting, ambiguous love we once shared, but because of the years we fought side-by-side together.
An Ke'er waited quietly for her husband's emotions to subside.
When Jinuo first appeared at her doorstep, she knew that Jinuo had come for her mother, Lin Que.
She is very smart.
A teenage girl dared to travel hundreds of kilometers alone to a strange family and recognize a stranger as her mother; she felt that she was never an ordinary person.
In matters of love, she is also straightforward and direct.
Men like Zino possess a powerful aura of hormones that she finds irresistible.
Most importantly, she knew that her mother wasn't interested in Gino.
So she indulged herself and fell in love with Ji Nuo at first sight.
She used her advantages to weave a giant net, waiting for Zino to walk right into it, and slowly capturing him.
Then, with a lifetime of tenderness and affection, she would bind him tightly.
She could clearly sense that Zino's feelings for her mother had changed from initial crush to a complex mix of ambivalence, admiration, and respect.
Emotions, over time, slowly settle and eventually become heavy and profound.
Cherishing a person in the past doesn't necessarily mean it's entirely for their sake; it's simply a way of remembering the person you were back then through them.
After a while.
Jino released An Ke'er's hand and sighed, "It's time. I should go to Beijing University to give a speech."
Zino is now one of the few remaining ancient people who have an extremely deep understanding of the end times. The state cherishes and preserves this group of people, as they are symbols of history and the culmination of time.
Most importantly, after that group of people, the virus disappeared, and no one else awakened superpowers.
Those with superpowers have become legendary beings.
As the first person to evolve a third-order superpower, Zino received enthusiastic support and various honors followed. When he and Anke'er were young, they traveled around, hoping to leave behind images of the apocalypse and teach people to be prepared for danger in times of peace.
The same apocalyptic crisis could very well come again.
He would never forget that Lin Que's lover, Lu Li, was someone who traveled through the apocalypse with a gourmet system. This meant that the existence of so many apocalyptic worlds was not accidental; there was probably an undiscovered connection between them.
Without breaking this connection, one cannot claim to have found the true key to unlocking the end times.
Under the influence of this ideology, Zino and others formed the "end-of-the-world crisis theory," predicting that the next end times are very likely to come.
Anke took the clothes from the hanger and dressed him.
Zino's back is now ramrod straight. Time has been exceptionally kind to him. He was one of the trendsetters of his time, always at the forefront of the era, one of the people who set and manipulated the rules.
If he had ever suffered any setbacks in his life, it was when he met Lin Que that he was truly humiliated.
He clearly remembers that he first met Lin Que during a military exercise.
He was training when suddenly a piercing electronic voice came through his headset: "Warning! Warning! The apocalypse is coming! A virus is spreading! The virus originated from a meteorite! Everyone will be infected! Take immediate action! If you don't believe me, just ask yourself: Do you have a cold?" What a coincidence, hundreds of millions of people around the world caught a cold at the same time…
This passage, brimming with childish angst, inexplicably stirred a strange feeling within him.
He trained the soldiers and knew very well that many soldiers had indeed caught colds during that period, and quite a few had taken leave to go to the hospital, but the effect did not seem to be obvious.
He was also preparing to discuss with the doctor about disinfecting the entire military region.
Therefore, when he heard this, he did not assume it was a hacker prank like most people did. Instead, he immediately became alert and checked the patient data of the military hospital.
This investigation...
There was a sudden silence.
What Lin Que said is very likely true.
That was the first time he made an impression on Lin Que, a bold and reckless woman.
Later, he was constantly busy, as there was just too much to prove.
Lin Que wasn't idle either; she had practically bribed hackers all over the world. Today, either the local "government" website was hacked, or tomorrow a new Doomsday Alliance organization would be holding a protest.
These were all her creations.
The commotion she caused was too great, so arresting or taking control of her became inevitable.
He thought it was a small matter, but Lin Que was destined to disappoint him.
Lin Que tossed him a string of IOUs, totaling two hundred million, and said with a smile, "This is the money I spent hiring these hackers. Shouldn't you reimburse me?"
A playful glint shone in her eyes, as if all of this was nothing more than a game to her.
He looked at the IOU in his hand and once again labeled her with a big tag: Bold, very bold.
Lin Que has never been an easy person to get along with. From the moment she entered the military's temporary office, she was always on guard.
He could clearly sense the hostility emanating from Lin Que.
Some people, after only meeting once, seem like enemies from a past life.
Lin Que felt this way about him; he would never let go of anything that could torment him, even though he had no idea what it was about him that made him so disliked.
"When will the end of the world come?" he asked.
"Tomorrow, or maybe tonight if we're lucky," Lin Que said maliciously.
Her prediction came true at midnight.
Screams quickly echoed through the streets and alleys, and the city streets were deserted for the first time.
Tensions rose in all directions; it was a sleepless night.
Wars are always waged by people against people, but this war is special. We don't know when it will start or when it will end. The only thing we can do is to eliminate our opponents.
Hold a meeting to gather intelligence!
Lin Que, however, hated meetings; to her, meetings were like the death of her.
However, she had to participate.
She is the authority in the apocalypse.
She said the end times would end in about three years, and humanity would develop gene "drugs".
She added that humans evolve, and so do animals; the process depends on who evolves faster.
War never dictates which side will win.
The consequences of forcing Lin Que to attend the meeting were severe; a nail suddenly appeared on the chair he was sitting in, successfully drawing blood.
Once, twice, he couldn't take it anymore.
He intended to teach Lin Que a lesson, but found himself kidnapped.
Lin Que's special ability is the metal element; she can control iron and bullets very well.
As the bullet spun rapidly around his head, he felt angry, frustrated, and wanted nothing more than to kill Lin Que immediately.
But he couldn't.
The magpie is humanity's last hope.
What embarrassed him most was that Lin Que seemed to really enjoy attacking people's genitals; he really had no taboos.
The days when he was robbed by Lin Que were the most humiliating, yet also the most bittersweet, days of his life.
He became Lin Que's henchman, rushing forward when there was danger and fighting off zombies.
If there's bread, Lin Que eats it while he watches.
He suspected that Lin Que would be happier if he were made of iron and didn't need to eat.
Lu Li's appearance was an accident; he fell from the sky and landed right on him, knocking him unconscious.
While he was feeling dizzy in the car, he heard some terrifying news.
There are many parallel worlds in the world.
Those parallel worlds are all in the apocalypse at this moment.
Lu Li, equipped with a gourmet system, travels through parallel worlds, living a nomadic life.
The truth of life is truly terrifying.
In their efforts to torment him, Lu Li and Lin Que were remarkably in sync.
He's so angry!
But we still have to be patient.
It would be good to be able to follow Lin Que. In fact, the military also wanted to know where Lin Que would go after leaving them. They wanted to follow Lin Que to find the truth. As the mission executor, he would have to suffer some hardships.
Many times, he asked Lin Que why she hated him so much.
Lin Que said, "I don't dislike you. You're just being dragged down by your future wife."
He was very confused at the time, thinking that Lin Que had awakened the power of prophecy. Later, he gradually realized that Lin Que had probably experienced these things once again, and that she was reborn.
Rebirth.
This is an even more unbelievable thing, more exciting than someone falling from the sky and hitting a living person.
But there will never be any evidence to prove it.
He followed Lin Que all the way from Qicheng Mausoleum to Cangling, killing anyone who stood in his way, acting as a henchman in exchange for food.
He felt he was quite useful, at least more useful than Lu Li, that weakling.
However……
When they were almost at Cangling, Lin Que kicked him off the carriage.
As Lin Que drove Lu Li and the other person away, his heart sank.
Lin Que really hardened her heart. Could it be that her wife in her previous life offended her too much, making her still hold a grudge to this day?
However, reuniting is an easy thing.
We were separated for one night.
They met again the next day.
He wanted to burst out laughing and say, "What a small world!"
In fact, Lin Que didn't say a word and immediately attacked Jiang Qiao.
He instantly understood who his wife in his past life was—it was Jiang Qiao!
A strange emotion stirred within him as he watched Lin Que display his power in front of Jiang Qiao.
Her superpower was incredibly cool; she took him down with ease. She even had the ability to summon lightning from the sky. When the lightning accidentally struck Lu Li, he saw Lin Que's expression change.
That kind of expression is commonly described as seeing a ghost.
What the hell? Why is she so interested in a dead man who just appeared out of nowhere? They're colleagues, after all!
I'm so annoyed!
As he watched Lin Que's car drive away, a sense of defeat at being abandoned by his comrades welled up within him once again.
later.
The magpie disappeared.
But stories of her exploits still circulated in the underworld; the two of them were robbing banks everywhere, causing quite a stir, and unexpectedly, they were back in the headlines, earning the honorary title: "Apocalyptic Robin Hood." (Taking a taxi)
She and Lu Li began providing food and supplies for everyone.
In the apocalypse, money is useless; what truly tests a couple's love is whether they can share a meal.
He was gratified to see the news coming from one place after another.
She truly is humanity's last hope.
He carefully studied their route and then waited in the capital, confident that he would be able to catch Lin Que this time and persuade her to confess so that she would be treated leniently, or resist so that she would be punished severely.
However……
He was robbed by Lin Que's cunning trickery once again.
He felt as if he had returned to the days when he first got together with Lin Quezi, when he was recklessly charging through hordes of zombies.
This time.
Lin Que wanted to kill Jiang Qiao.
Who would have thought that Jiang Qiao would have such a good life?
He was thrown into a pile of zombies by Lin Que, yet he didn't die. Instead, he eventually became a half-human, half-zombie—a truly miraculous existence. (His days in the car.)
Besides the delicious food that Lu Li conjures up every day, his daily diet also includes countless amounts of dog food.
He could clearly sense Linghu Lan's undisguised murderous intent towards him; all of this was Jiang Qiao's fault.
He also discovered that Lin Que had a mission: to lose Jiang Qiao.
They wanted to kill Jiang Qiao, and Jiang Qiao wanted to kill them too.
Jiang Qiao's surprise attack was both swift and precise.
Lin Que was not afraid at all; she was heroic and full of spirit.
She withstood wave after wave of attacks from Jiang Qiao, but was ultimately defeated by Jiang Qiao's keen observation skills.
A shell was aimed at Lu Li. Seeing Lin Que's panicked expression, he rushed forward without hesitation to protect Lu Li.
Pain surged through his body in an instant; he winced in pain, gritted his teeth, and let himself pass out.
I woke up again.
Another spacious hotel.
He became Lu Li's savior, and given Lin Que's doting affection for Lu Li, his suffering this time was not in vain.
Lin Que tormented him for so long, now it's his turn to retaliate.
Every morning, he loved to knock on Lu Li's door, and seeing Lu Li come out with an unfriendly expression made him feel incredibly happy.
Debts of gratitude are always the hardest to repay.
He enjoyed seeing Lu Li dislike him but still dare to disobey him.
