Several days of torrential rain caused some old buildings in ancient cities to collapse, but fortunately, the soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom evacuated the residents in advance, and no casualties were caused.
Seeing their homes destroyed, tears streamed down the aged faces of the older generation, their expressions filled with sorrow.
The young soldiers didn't know how to comfort them, so they could only stay silently by their side.
Han Chengshan had never felt so powerless. He had served in the army for five years, and most of his time was spent in drills.
He looked up at the sky, which was covered with dark clouds, and there was no sign that the rain would stop. He didn't know how long the rain would last or how much more rain would fall.
The crops in the fields had long been submerged by the rain, and the leafy greens were ravaged by the strong winds.
"Hey, Grandpa."
"Xiaoshan, how are you doing there?"
"Grandpa, I... I don't know if it's good or not. Everyone is safe, but their home is gone, and their food is gone..."
"It's good that everyone is safe. Homes can be rebuilt, and crops can be grown again."
“Grandpa, they say this is a disaster sent down by heaven to punish people for wasting food. They say they are wronged, that they have never wasted food, that it is the rich who waste food, but they, the farmers, have to take the blame.”
“Xiaoshan, you are a soldier. You should have an iron will and not be influenced by their pity. Your primary task now is to lead them away from dangerous places, not to be here lamenting and discussing with them why there was a flood. I'm afraid all your ideological and political education classes have been for nothing.”
“Grandpa, I know I was wrong. The flood situation here is too serious. We can't leave here for the time being. We can only go up the mountain, which is a safe place to stay. I just hope the rain will stop soon. Now there is a problem with supplies. Many people have been soaked in the water for a long time. They lack clothes and food, and they don't even have blankets at night... I'm afraid some of the elderly people won't be able to hold on.”
"You don't need to worry about these things. Old Gu has already sent people over to provide support, and supplies will be delivered to you soon."
"Grandpa, can you make this rain...stop?"
"Xiaoshan, you need to understand that my superpower is not omnipotent. Using my superpower can only pause things; it cannot change anything."
In Han Chengshan's heart, Han Fei had always been a god-like man, as if his grandfather could solve all the problems in the world. But as he grew up, he gradually realized that his grandfather was not omnipotent. It was just that in his young eyes his grandfather was a god, but when faced with real natural disasters, his grandfather seemed so insignificant.
"Grandpa, I feel terrible, my heart aches." Han Chengshan looked around, gazing at the people soaked to the bone, the coughing elderly, and the children being held tightly in their parents' arms...
"Captain, something bad has happened!" The new recruit ran up to Han Chengshan, panting, "In the water! There's a monster in the water!"
"Grandpa, I have to go now, I'm hanging up."
Before Han Fei could ask what had happened, Han Chengshan had already hung up the phone.
Han Chengshan followed the new recruits to the flooded area where the problem occurred: "Captain, a woman was washing things here just now when suddenly a dark shadow appeared in the water. It was so fast that we didn't even see it clearly. One of the woman's hands was bitten off."
How is she doing now?
"The military doctor is treating him; he's not in any danger. That stuff isn't poisonous."
"With so many of you and so many eyes, didn't you see clearly at all?" Han Chengshan's voice was stern.
"That thing... looks like a water ghost..." a soldier said, trembling.
"What ghosts are you talking about in broad daylight! There are no ghosts in this world!" Han Chengshan was furious and started taking off his clothes.
"Captain, what are you going to do?"
"Captain, you're not thinking of going into the water, are you?"
"Captain, it's dangerous down there! That thing is dangerous!"
"Thump!"
Han Chengshan ignored everyone and jumped into the floodwaters.
"Captain—" A group of soldiers stood on the shore, too afraid to go down, and could only shout at the top of their lungs.
Han Chengshan jumped into the water. Because the sewage was so dirty, he couldn't open his eyes at all. He felt the water moving very fast to his left, and something was rushing towards him from the left.
Han Chengshan gripped his military knife tightly.
He wasn't afraid of accidentally injuring anyone, because that speed was simply impossible for a human.
Seeing a pool of blood on the water, the soldiers standing on the shore finally mustered up the courage to jump into the water, one after another.
After entering the water, they struggled to open their eyes and saw their captain fighting with a huge, grotesque creature.
The body of a bluefish, the head of a crocodile, the skin of a toad...
The soldiers surrounded the monster underwater. Han Chengshan's knife had already pierced the monster's neck, but once it was in, it couldn't be pulled out. The blood was also from the monster. One by one, the soldiers pulled out their military knives and began to attack the monster's soft body, which was like the body of a bluefish. A fish-killing expert dived into the water and stabbed upwards with his knife, disemboweling the monster. At this moment, Han Chengshan also cut off the monster's head.
The group rushed out of the water and gasped for air.
"Captain, let's kill it!"
"Captain, what kind of monster is this?"
"Could it be the offspring of a crocodile and a giant bluefish?"
"These two species can produce offspring? And how do you explain the toad skin? Could it be that this thing's grandfather was a toad?"
"Quiet down, everyone. Get ashore quickly. Don't soak in its blood. We don't know yet if it's poisonous." Han Chengshan's expression was serious, and a very bad feeling was creeping into his mind.
I recall what that person said ten years ago: When animals start to mutate, the end times will come.
"Hey, Grandpa."
What just happened?
“A mutated animal appeared, and my comrades and I killed it.”
Han Chengshan sent a photo.
Han Fei frowned deeply when he saw the animal with the head of a crocodile, the body of a bluefish, and the skin of a toad.
"Grandpa, is the apocalypse that man talked about... coming?"
"Are you injured?" Han Fei didn't answer, but instead asked about Han Chengshan's physical condition.
"I'm fine."
After hanging up the phone, Han Fei called Lao Gu and said, "Mutant animals have appeared."
Old Gu's voice was weary: "Floods, earthquakes, mutated animals... I'm worried that it might really be like Tang Xin said, with ten suns appearing. At that time, the glaciers will completely melt, and the tsunami will engulf the entire Dragon Kingdom!"
"If what Tang Xin said is true, it will still be some time before the ten suns appear, because there are no zombies yet."
That night, Han Chengshan and the soldiers who went into the water to kill the monster all developed high fevers.
38°…38°5……39°——40°!!
"What should we do? If this fever continues, my lungs will be damaged!"
"He must be taken to the hospital!"
"But now we're trapped on the mountain, surrounded by water..."
"A helicopter! Tell them to send a helicopter to rescue people!"
"The wind is strong, the rain is heavy, and there's lightning and thunder. It's dark now, and it's dangerous for a helicopter to come over. What if something goes wrong on the way and the person isn't even rescued by then..."
"So what do we do now?"
An old soldier looked up at the sky filled with thunderclouds. Suddenly, a thunderclap boomed, and the sky briefly brightened because of the lightning. A moment later, it was dark again, and all that could be heard was a series of muffled thunderclaps, which made people feel suffocated.
“Make a call and ask them to come up with a solution. These soldiers are heroes who killed the alien beasts; we can’t let them die here.”
"That monster...is it poisonous?"
"They're soaking in that blood; they're probably infected with some kind of virus..."
"Shut up, all of you! Wait for news from headquarters."
"Headquarters has already sent a helicopter, but due to the weather, it will probably take a long time for it to arrive."
"There is hope as long as someone comes to rescue us."
"Oh no, an elderly person has also developed a high fever!"
"Even the kids have started coughing!"
"Treat them first! Hurry!"
"39°!"
"40°!"
"More and more people are suffering from persistent high fevers and falling into comas!"
...The rescue helicopter has arrived.
But with so many people, it's impossible to assign them all.
Han Chengshan awoke from a daze and saw people trying to put him on a helicopter. Hearing a child crying, he turned around and saw a mother tightly holding a wailing child: "Please, save my child..."
"Wait a little longer, there will be rescue, just wait a little longer..." the soldier supporting Han Chengshan said softly.
"What's going on?" Han Chengshan asked hoarsely, "Are you putting me on a helicopter to go to the hospital?"
"Captain, you're very ill. You need to get to the hospital immediately." The young soldier suspected that his captain was experiencing a final burst of energy before his death and was terrified.
Why not save that child?
"The helicopter can't fit it all; it will be overweight."
"I won't go up; let the child go up."
"team leader--"
"Listen to me, this is an order." Han Chengshan asked, "Where's my phone?"
"Here it is." The young soldier offered it with both hands.
"Get the child on the helicopter first. I'll be fine. My grandfather will come to save me." Han Chengshan gently raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a sunny smile: "My grandfather is a god. He will always appear when I'm in danger. I believe he can save me."
"Captain, don't be foolish. A distant solution won't solve an immediate problem. Your situation is far more serious than that child's—"
"I said, this is an order!"
Han Chengshan, supporting the stone, walked to the side and dialed Han Fei's number.
"Hey, Grandpa."
"What's wrong? Your voice sounds very weak."
“I have a fever, and they say I’m going to burn to death.”
Han Fei's breathing quickened: "Wait."
With a snap of the fingers, everything around stood still; the wind ceased, the rain stopped in mid-air, and the drifting clouds froze...
Han Fei flew the helicopter to the location where the third brother was.
Seeing the tragic scene, many people blushed and felt hot, including the elderly and children who were easily infected with the virus.
Han Fei had a bad feeling. Perhaps... this was the beginning of the virus's spread, and a mutated animal was carrying a virus that could turn humans into zombies.
These people with fever have only two paths: either they develop supernatural abilities from the fever, or they become mindless zombies.
Han Fei wasn't too worried about Han Chengshan; he was sure Han Chengshan could become a superhuman. But what about the others...?
If these people stay here, and even one of them turns into a zombie, everyone here will eventually turn into a zombie.
They must all be taken away and quarantined!
Han Fei began his "transportation" work.
The area is surrounded by water and the soil is loose, so he doesn't dare to fly larger planes over. He can only rely on helicopters to transport people back and forth.
There were no reliable quarantine locations available at the moment, so Han Fei had no choice but to lock them up in prison.
First, throw the people out of the original cells, then isolate these people, one person per cell.
While imprisoned, he was afraid that some zombies would damage the cell, so he got some iron chains and tied them up one by one.
He didn't know how much time had passed; time had stopped. He had no concept of time himself, only that after finishing these tasks, his old bones were about to fall apart, after all, he was almost seventy years old.
Han Fei snapped his fingers, and time began to flow again.
The prisoners standing outside the prison: ...
"who I am?"
Where am I?
"When did I escape from prison?"
"What do we do now?"
Han Fei grabbed a megaphone and said, "Stand still! This is a good opportunity to make amends. Let's see if you can seize it."
Who is it?
"The old man standing on the second floor?"
"Old man, who are you? Did you let us out?"
"How did you manage to let us out without anyone noticing? Did you poison our food?"
"I only have three months left before I get out of prison, you old man, you've ruined me!"
He was about to be released from prison, but suddenly he became an escaped prisoner. Who could tolerate this?
If I get arrested, won't I be sentenced again?
"Old man, I'll never forgive you! You've ruined me!!!"
Han Fei coughed lightly: "Even if you're about to be released from prison, you won't have much money, and it'll be hard to find a job after you get out, right? With your criminal record, if you want to apply for a security guard job, people will be afraid you'll embezzle! As long as you make amends this time and do a great job, those who want a reduced sentence will get one, those who want a bonus will get a bonus, and those who want a job will get one!"
"Really?"
"Does this old guy really have that much ability?"
"I remember now, this guy was famous before I went to jail!"
Who is it?
"I've been here for twenty years, how come I don't know such a person?"
“I came here five years ago. Before I came in, he was already on the rich list. Now that five years have passed, he should be even richer.”
"We'll believe you for now; perhaps you can keep your promise! What do you want us to do? We won't do murder or arson!"
"Yes, we won't do things like murder or arson!"
Just as Han Fei was about to speak, a roar erupted from inside the prison. The sound was terrifying, like the howl of a beast from hell: "Ah—roar—"
What was that sound?
What's locked up in prison?
"Could it be some kind of wild animal being kept inside? That sound doesn't sound human!"
Han Fei frowned, surprised that someone had already turned into a zombie.
"Listen, I need your help. A large number of soldiers will be arriving here, and we'll need many people to assist us. Please help out as much as you can, and do whatever you see that needs doing."
Han Fei paused for a moment: "Whether it's wiping the floor or dealing with... corpses, just do it eagerly."
"A corpse?"
"What's going on? Don't scare us!"
"Soldiers? A large number of soldiers?"
"It seems our prison break was just a bubble after all."
"Where are the soldiers?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than someone exclaimed, "Fighter jets!"
Someone shouted, "Tanks!"
"Navy! There are people running over here in navy uniforms!"
All three sea, land, and air forces are in place.
Amidst the prisoners' shocked expressions, the three commanders of the army, navy, and air force ran up to Han Fei and saluted. "National hero, 3,000 naval personnel are in position!" "National hero, 3,000 army personnel are in position!" "National hero, 3,000 air force personnel are in position!"
"We will obey the orders of the national hero!"
"Please give the order, sir!"
Han Fei took a deep breath and exhaled. He hadn't expected that he would only ask for three thousand men, but his superiors would send three times that number.
"Ah—roar—" Cries rose and fell, and the number of people turning into zombies was increasing.
"You heard the screams too, right? That's what zombies are locked up in here."
"Zombies!" Even the three leaders, who had seen their share of big scenes, turned pale.
"Sir, do zombies really exist?"
"Could there be a mistake? Maybe it's just a wild animal?"
"Was it a prank or was someone impersonating someone?"
Han Fei shook his head, his face grave: "I don't joke about things like this."
"Sir, how should we deal with the zombies?"
"Can our weapons eliminate the zombies?"
"How many zombies are there exactly?"
After they calmed down, they began to plan their tactics.
"Wait a moment, there are still colleagues from special departments who haven't arrived yet. Once they come, you can discuss the tactics together."
Butler Li arrived at the prison with half of his colleagues from the special department. Han Fei glanced at them and asked, "Has the other half gone to the flooded area?"
"Yes, sir! As per your orders, half the men will rush to the flooded area to search for any patients with fever."
The Air Force guarded the skies, the Army surrounded the prison, and the Navy and special forces entered the prison.
A loud banging came from a prison door. The prison doors were made of steel, but with each bang, a deep handprint was left. "Help! I'm a new recruit, not a prisoner. Who locked me up here?"
From the cell next to his came a woman's scream: "Help! How did I end up in prison? My child and I were just here... wait, where's my baby! Little one, where are you?"
A little voice came from next door: "Mommy, I'm next door! Did we have a nightmare? Didn't the flood wash away our house? Why do we have a room again now?"
"Don't talk nonsense! This is a prison. The decor, the supplies, and the numbers are all standard prison equipment! Wait, why is my hand on fire?"
"Mom, what's wrong? Mom, my hand is on fire too! Help! Am I going to burn to death?"
"Little one, are you alright? My hands aren't hot, what happened?"
"Mom, my hands aren't hot at all! Hahaha, it's so much fun! The flames are changing in my hands, it's so much fun, hahaha..."
A strange cry came from the cell next to Little Bean's: "Ah-hoo—" followed by the sound of forcefully banging on the wall.
"Mom, it seems like there's a monster living next door!"
"I heard it too, don't be afraid, Mom will find a way to burn the door open, I'll save you!" The woman used the flame in her palm to burn the door lock. The flame had no temperature in her palm, but it actually heated the iron door until it was red-hot and melted.
"Aaaaaah! Mommy, the monster crashed through a hole and a head popped out! How terrifying! Its teeth look like fish teeth, its head is green, and its skin is wrinkled, like a green turtle!"
"Burn it! Little one, our fire is so powerful, go burn it!"
"Mom, I'm too scared!"
"Brave, you're going to be a soldier when you grow up. You don't even have this much courage. Your grandfather is a firefighter! You said you admire warriors the most!"
"Mommy, I...I...be brave! I'm brave, ha! I'm a man, ha!" The little boy encouraged himself, moving step by step closer to the head that had crawled in. When he met those lifeless, dead fish eyes, the little boy screamed in fright, slapping the head as he screamed, "You bastard, you scared me!"
With flames erupting from his palm, he slapped the zombie on the forehead, causing it to scream in agony as it was burned: "Roar—"
"Mom, I did it! I'm so amazing!"
At this moment, his mother had already burned open the iron gate and rushed in. When she saw her child frantically slapping someone's head, she was terrified and went forward to take the child away.
When she went in, the zombie's head had been burned black by the child, making it impossible to tell that it was a zombie. It looked as if her child had burned a normal person's head.
"Oh no, oh no, someone's been murdered!"
"Mom, I burned the monster to death!"
"Shut up! If the police ask, just say I burned it. This has nothing to do with you!"
"Mom, I'm the hero! You're trying to steal my credit!"
"You're driving me crazy! I'm just protecting you!"
In cell 301, an octogenarian man, his back hunched, muttered, "Just burn me to death. Without land, without a house, there's no point in me living..."
His body grew hotter and hotter, and he felt sweat pouring from every pore. A scent of grass and wood filled the air, and as the sweat dripped onto the cell floor, tender green shoots sprouted from the cement floor.
The old man lying in bed felt the high temperature in his body gradually cooling down, and the heavy feeling of sleep paralysis gradually disappeared, making his heavy eyelids feel lighter.
He opened his eyes and felt full of energy and vitality.
He muttered to himself, "Is this a final burst of energy before death?"
He got off the prisoner's bed and stepped barefoot onto the ground. The soft texture beneath his feet surprised him. He looked down and saw that the entire cell floor was covered with grass and daisies. Daisies have cooling and detoxifying properties, and their fragrance is refreshing.
He took two steps, and wherever he touched, a small flower would bloom.
"What...what is going on?" He looked at his palms in disbelief, thinking he was hallucinating before his death.
In cell 201, a new recruit's body is mutating. He was originally the youngest and shortest in the recruit camp, but now his body is rapidly growing taller and expanding. His clothes are being torn apart by large, expanding muscles, and in a short time he has become a 2-meter-tall muscular man.
Suddenly, a strange cry, like the roar of a wild beast, came from inside room 202, startling the 2-meter-tall recruit awake from his sleep. He was terrified by the changes in himself and before he could catch his breath, the wall was smashed down by the monster next door. When the dust settled, the monster's true form was revealed: a blue face with fangs, bulging eyes, and a body that reeked of a mixture of the stench of corpses and fish.
"Holy crap, I must be dreaming!" He slapped himself hard. "Holy crap, that hurts! How can it hurt so much!"
He looked down at his large, fan-like hands and regretted that he had used too much force.
"Roar—" The zombie roared and bared its fangs at him.
"What the hell is this thing?!"
"Ahhh—" The zombie opened its huge mouth and bit at him.
He instinctively threw a punch, the size of a sandbag, which landed squarely on the zombie's face.
The zombie's head was flattened.
"I'm that good? Oh my!" He struck a kung fu star's signature move and unleashed a series of punches at the zombie.
The zombie's chest was sunken, its limbs were broken, its neck was twisted, and its head was flat. Even so, the zombie still dragged its crippled body and "strongly" stood up.
"Roar roar roar—"
"You little devil!" The recruit threw another punch, then jumped onto the zombie and sat on it, punching it repeatedly.
In cell 101, Han Chengshan was awakened by a series of banging sounds from upstairs.
He touched his forehead; the high fever had subsided.
He looked around, somewhat surprised to find himself in what was clearly a prison cell.
How did I get here?
"Oh right, I was on the phone with my grandpa. He came and brought me here."
"Hey, Grandpa."
"You're awake? Is anything unusual?"
"Abnormal? Does my fever have subsided? Grandpa, how did I end up in prison?"
"I'm busy right now. You stay inside and wait for me."
"Roar roar roar—"
"Grandpa, are you fighting with a wild beast? Why do I hear the sound of a wild beast?"
"You can still hear it even if you move the phone away."
Han Chengshan put his phone away and heard the roars of wild beasts coming from all directions.
"Boom!" A large hole appeared in the ceiling.
Han Chengshan was startled and moved far away, but he was still covered in dust. He looked up and saw a hand emerging from the big hole in the ceiling. An absurd thought popped into his mind: Could it be that this hand made a hole in the ceiling?
A head popped out of the hole and cried out in surprise, "Captain!"
"Xiao Luo, what are you doing here?"
"Captain, wait a minute, I'll come down and talk to you."
"The door is locked."
"It's okay, I'll jump down."
"Watch out! — Holy crap!"
"Hehe, Captain, I've grown taller."
Han Chengshan looked up at the big guy and asked, "Did you eat baking powder?"
He not only grew taller, but he also became a muscular hunk!
"After my fever subsided, I became incredibly powerful. Do I have superpowers now? I just killed a monster with my bare hands!"
"monster?"
Before Han Chengshan could ask any further questions, a series of sounds of pounding on the wall and roaring came from next door.
"There must be a monster next door too. The monster I just killed made the same sound as it."
"It's the same strange scream my grandfather made on the other end of the phone."
"Captain, stay behind me. If the monster breaks through the wall, I'll protect you."
Han Chengshan's face darkened: "I can protect myself." Being protected by a new recruit—if word got out, how could Han Chengshan possibly save face?
"Boom!" A loud noise was heard, accompanied by the sound of an iron gate being opened.
"Little Third Brother, come to my side."
"Grandpa!" What a familiar scene, just like many years ago, on that small island, Grandpa appeared before him like a god, carrying a Gatling gun!
A person emerged from the ruins; it was a child. His face hadn't turned into the greenish-gray of a zombie, but his movements were as stiff as a zombie's.
He looked up, his misty eyes meeting those of Han Chengshan and the new recruit Xiao Luo. "Big brothers, why am I here? My body feels so numb. Where is my mother?"
Xiao Luo instinctively walked over, but Han Chengshan grabbed him: "Xiao Luo, something's wrong with him!"
"Captain, have you forgotten? He's the child we rescued. His parents were swept away by the flood!" Xiao Luo shouted when he saw the sailors pointing guns at the child, "Don't shoot! He's just a child!"
No one listened to him; as the child bared his sharp teeth, they all fired at once.
"No—" Xiao Luo rushed over, trying to support the injured child, but in that instant, the child bit his neck.
"Xiao Luo!" Han Chengshan glared at the child instinctively and shouted, "Don't bite!"
The zombie child, who was about to bite down, suddenly froze, as if he had been struck by a pressure point.
Xiao Luo hurriedly retreated, his eyes filled with hurt and complex emotions. The child he wanted to save wanted to bite him to death.
Han Chengshan pulled Xiao Luo back: "Idiot, he's turned into a monster!"
"But he clearly recognized us just now..."
Butler Li explained, "He must be a high-level zombie who has developed intelligence."
While the zombie child was frozen in time, the special forces members with superpowers stepped forward, cut off the child's head, and cruelly pried open the skull to remove the colorful crystal core inside.
Seeing this, Han Chengshan and Xiao Luo couldn't bear it and vomited on the spot.
Han Fei also felt uncomfortable, turned his face away, and didn't look at it.
Butler Li cursed, "Can't you guys be a little more discerning? Aren't you filthy?"
"It's not dirty at all! This is a treasure that can enhance superpowers!"
"This is five-colored, it's of a very high grade!"
Butler Li roared, "Give the things to the Third Young Master! These are his spoils of war! How dare you steal his spoils!"
"No, we're just helping him clean it up."
"He can't handle it himself!"
"We're just trying to curry favor with a future powerhouse of mental strength!"
A superhuman handed the five-colored crystal core to Han Chengshan. Although it had been wiped clean, Han Chengshan could still faintly smell a bloody odor emanating from it. "Why are you giving it to me?"
"Third Young Master, this is your spoils of war. You controlled him with your mental power."
"Me? Mental power?"
Butler Li explained, "Third Young Master, when you shouted at the zombies in your panic not to bite them, I sensed a powerful fluctuation of mental energy. That power even suppressed my ability. You are a powerful mental energy user, but you don't yet know how to control your power."
"I've awakened a superpower?" Han Chengshan was completely bewildered.
Han Chengshan said to Han Fei, "Grandpa, I'm your favorite grandson, right?"
Han Fei's lips twitched: "What's wrong with you?"
Han Chengshan touched his nose: "Butler Li, my special ability doesn't seem to be working very well."
Butler Li: "...Ahem, it's really not very effective to try to control someone with stronger mind control than you."
All the zombies in the prison were eliminated, but three escaped and were captured alive by the Air Force and the Army.
It's unclear whether these zombies are dead or alive. In any case, we need to find a few survivors for research, since these are the first zombies discovered in China.
At the same time, many countries have experienced natural disasters, and these disasters have been accompanied by infectious diseases...
Patients with high fevers were isolated in hospitals, schools, churches, temples, and other places, heavily guarded by soldiers, to prevent them from escaping and harming others, and also to prevent some extreme lunatics from sneaking in and spreading the disease.
After a high fever, two extremes occur: one is becoming a superpowered being, and the other is turning into a zombie. This leads many superhero movie fans to have the illusion that they can become saviors, turning them into extreme madmen who go crazy and want to get infected. Some people even auction off masks worn by infected patients online.
Masks carrying the virus were once auctioned for as high as 60,000 gold coins.
The official authorities of countries like the US, the Parrot Country, and Little Days... are trying their best to conceal the news, only saying that it is an infectious disease similar to the flu, possibly similar to pneumonia, but not to the extent of pneumonia. They ask people not to blindly follow the rumors, and that the absurd claims of turning into zombies or superpowered beings are all rumors, all of them!
Even if the patient's condition can be concealed, it cannot change the drastic changes in the weather and environment.
Rain continues in many places, while the heat is unbearable in many other areas. The ground has cracked, and the convection of hot and cold winds has created tornadoes. The tornadoes have swept through farm after farm, and at times, herds of cattle can be seen flying in the sky.
A patient with a high fever was found at Longda University. The patient was quickly transported away by helicopter, and it is unknown where he was taken.
While the students were worried about the student with a high fever, Longda University had already been surrounded and placed under close guard by armed forces. At this point, the students withdrew their sympathy and began to verbally abuse the student who had caused the problem: "It's all his fault!"
"If he hadn't been running around all weekend, he wouldn't have gotten infected!"
"One bad apple spoils the whole bunch! If he hadn't run around and gotten a fever, we wouldn't be stuck at school like this. We're like prisoners now, we can't even go across the street to eat a bowl of spicy hot pot!"
"It's all his fault, he's a troublemaker! Cough cough!" As soon as he coughed, the students who had been gathered around him scattered and moved far away from him.
"What do you mean! Cough cough!"
"Damn! There's an infected person here. I have to tell the principal and teachers!"
"Oh my god, I was so close to him just now, could I have caught something?"
"I remember now, he and that troublemaker who got sent away were roommates!"
Upon hearing this, the people who had been watching the commotion from a distance stopped watching and a group of them turned and ran away.
"Holy crap, am I a living virus? Am I the plague? I only coughed twice, I have pharyngitis! Hey, don't run away! I really don't have a fever! Cough cough!"
In the principal's office, the heads of each department sat in a row, their eyes fixed on the principal.
The university president sighed: "It's often at times like these that you can see people's true colors. This is also a lesson for these college students who haven't yet entered society. Please record each student's performance."
"Principal! What time is it? Why are you still concerned about these things!"
"No matter what, the student's individual circumstances are always the top priority. Parents send their children to school not only to receive knowledge, but also to cultivate noble moral character! Our school not only imparts knowledge, but also guides them onto the right path!"
"Principal, our school cafeteria is about to be empty."
“Principal, these students are basically hiding in their dormitories and are afraid to come out. They don’t even come to class, saying that there are too many people in the classroom and they are afraid of getting infected.”
Xiaoqi was conducting an experiment in the lab when Xiaoliu knocked on the lab door.
Xiaoqi was disturbed and put on a stern face.
It took Xiao Liu a long time to coax his sister before she finally gave him a smile.
"Little sister, what are you studying?"
"A fish without bones."
"Why bother studying this kind of thing? It's mentally and physically exhausting."
"I'm afraid Grandpa will choke on a fish bone and die."
"Uh... little sister, you're so filial." But isn't there something a little strange about this kind of filial piety?
"Brother, are you alright? If not, don't bother me while I'm doing my experiment."
"With such a big commotion outside, aren't you afraid at all?"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Xiao Qi asked, puzzled.
"It's an infectious disease, it can kill people." Xiao Liu's expression was exaggerated as he patted his chest, as if he was terrified.
Xiao Qi rolled her eyes: "Brother, you really should learn acting skills from Fifth Brother. Your expressions are so fake."
"Aren't you afraid at all?" Xiao Liu leaned closer to her and asked with a smile, "Don't you need your brother's protection?"
"If you want to stick close to me, don't use the excuse of wanting to protect me as a cover."
Xiao Liu coughed lightly: "We're like siblings, why do you always expose me? Little sister, you're not as cute as you used to be!"
Xiaoqi ignored him and continued doing her research.
"Forget it, I won't scare you anymore, it won't scare you anyway." Xiao Liu shrugged. "I'm here to tell you that you don't need to worry about the infectious disease. There are two outcomes for those who are infected: one is that they become zombies, and the other is that they awaken superpowers. Sister, you are already a superpowered person, so you won't be infected."
Xiaoqi put down the test tube in her hand, her face became quite serious, and a hint of fear appeared in her eyes.
Xiao Liu asked in surprise, "You'll be alright, what are you afraid of?"
Xiaoqi looked at Xiaoliu and asked in a serious voice, "Have you been in contact with an infected person?"
"Uh...how did you know?"
"He's on the basketball team, and so are you."
"Well, I can't hide it from you, we did have some contact."
Xiao Qi's expression suddenly tightened.
Xiao Liu quickly reassured him, "Don't worry, I'm fine, really fine." As he spoke, he patted his chest hard, making a loud thumping sound.
"You are not a superhuman, but you may be infected."
"No...cough cough."
Xiaoqi's expression became even more serious: "You stay here, I'm going to call Grandpa."
"I was just trying to explain and I choked on my own saliva! Sister, listen to me, I won't get infected. Although I had contact with him, I was wearing a mask and gloves at the time."
Xiaoqi asked in confusion, "You know he's infectious?"
"have no idea."
"Then why are you wearing a mask and gloves?"
"Well..." Xiao Liu said a little embarrassedly, "Your brother is also the school heartthrob. To avoid trouble, I wear a mask so I won't be recognized. I wear gloves because basketballs are too dirty, and I'm a germaphobe."
That's a really lame excuse. Xiaoqi stared at her brother speechlessly: "If you're a germaphobe, why are you playing basketball?"
"Basketball is fun, but the ball is really dirty. Wearing a glove can help you play while avoiding contact with the ball."
"It's a good thing you have a lot of quirks," Xiaoqi remarked.
Xiao Liu wanted to stay with his sister, but she was too heartless and kicked him out.
After her clingy brother left, Xiaoqi once again became engrossed in her experiments. Suddenly, a dark spot caught her eye.
This is a sterile laboratory; it would be extremely difficult for a small ant to get in, like crossing mountains and valleys.
Xiaoqi tapped the tiny ant's sesame-seed-sized body with her fingertip and asked with a smile, "How did you sneak in?"
【Master, Master, our King has become very strange!】
Hearing the little ant's anxious thoughts, Xiaoqi asked with a grin, "Strange? How strange is it?"
The little ant started dancing with excitement: "The king has grown two heads! The new heads are bluish-green, and these heads love to bite. Those bitten by it turn bluish-green and their eyes look strange, like they've become fools."
Xiao Qi's smile froze: "Turquoise?"
Third Brother said that the skin of humans who become zombies will turn bluish-green.
This is similar to the symptoms of the Ant King, but the difference is that the Ant King has grown a zombie head.
Was her head completely normal before?
[That's not quite normal either. Ever since the new head grew, Wang's original head has been in a deep sleep.]
【Master, the ant nest is in complete chaos! Greenish-blue ants are attacking each other relentlessly, and those bitten turn greenish-blue and then join the frenzy, biting their own kind. I'm too scared to stay in the ant nest any longer.】
[Many of us ants were outside the lab window, but it was so hard to get in. I was the thinnest and smallest, and with the help of my ants, I was pushed in with all my might. My head was almost crushed!]
Xiao Qi's expression turned serious: "So that means the Ant King hasn't completely turned into a zombie, there should still be hope, but how can we save him?"
"Master, master, I've come all this way through countless hardships just to ask you for some divine medicine!"
"A miracle drug?"
Yes, we've used up all the miraculous medicine our master gave us before. Whether it's a major illness, a minor ailment, or a strange disease, it can all be instantly cured with just one dose of the miraculous medicine our master gave us!
"I don't remember giving you any miracle medicine. Are you mistaken?"
【Master, we clean for you every day; even the smallest speck of dust won't escape our eyes!】
Xiaoqi finally discovered the reason why her room is never cleaned, yet it is always spotless: it's all thanks to these little guys working silently.
[Master, sometimes you accidentally cut your hand and bleed. After the blood clots, we'll move it away to keep your room as clean as possible! The blood clots we bring back will be placed in our nest, and soon they'll turn black—that's how you become a miracle drug!]
My blood?
Xiaoqi never expected that the miraculous medicine the little ant mentioned was actually made from her own blood.
"Master, we beg you for some divine medicine for the king. Please!" The little ant crawled on the ground, its voice trembling with tears.
Xiaoqi thought for a moment and took out a needle for drawing blood from the laboratory drawer.
She placed a drop of blood on the table. "Can you take it back?"
"I can do it! I'll take it back in my mouth!" the little ant cheered. "Thank you, Master! Everyone is waiting outside. Please open a crack in the door for me; it's too hard to squeeze through the window."
The window was sealed with tape, and Xiaoqi admired it greatly, wondering how much effort it had taken to squeeze in.
Holding it in its mouth? Xiao Qi imagined itself taking medicine for the king, then burst out laughing and pointed at the little ant: "You're so funny!"
"If it works, come back to me and I'll give you more to make the ants in the anthill normal again."
Xiaoqi opened the door and watched the little ant leave.
She didn't close the door completely, leaving a crack for the little ants.
In the afternoon, there was a commotion at school, but Xiaoqi ignored it and continued to stay in the lab.
The phone rang, and Xiaoqi answered, "Hello, Grandpa~"
"Xiaoqi, I've come to pick you and your brother up."
Has the school reopened?
"Not at the moment."
"Then why did you take me and my brother away?"
"special case."
"Grandpa, don't abuse your privileges, that's wrong!"
"You little rascal, I was worried something might happen to you."
“I’m already a superhuman, so I won’t get infected with that virus. But brother, Grandpa, please take my brother away.”
“If you don’t leave, your brother won’t leave. You know him, right?” He’s always been a clingy brother to his sister.
"Then I'll have to wait a bit before I leave."
"Wait for what?"
"Waiting for a little ant, oh, here it comes! Grandpa, I'm hanging up now!"
Han Fei, whose call was hung up on: ...This little girl!
A group of ants carried their queen over. The queen was quite weak, and her other head had disappeared.
"Master, I must come and thank you in person!" The Ant Queen stumbled to Xiao Qi's feet and prostrated herself beside her: "Master, I almost didn't wake up. Thank you so much for the medicine!"
A group of ants surrounded Xiaoqi's feet, expressing their gratitude: "Master, thank you for the medicine!"
Xiaoqi was very confused. The smallest ant in the ant colony pushed aside its companions and rushed to Xiaoqi's feet: "Master, master, it's me! Do you remember me?"
“I recognize you. You're the one who came to get blood.”
[Master, it's me! It's me! I brought back the blood I had in my mouth, but I couldn't get close to the king in his mad state. Later, Sister Butterfly helped me. She mixed the blood droplets with pollen and sprinkled them from mid-air. The queen and her companions bathed in the pollen mixed with the divine medicine, and they all recovered in no time! After the queen awoke, she cut off her other head and returned to normal!]
Xiaoqi was surprised that just one drop of blood could restore all the zombified ants to normal.
Her gaze shifted to the window, taking in the chaotic scene on campus.
On the playground, a tattered, bluish-green zombie charged madly at the students. One of the students stepped forward, holding flames in his hands. He must have awakened a superpower and wanted to be a hero, but he had no idea how to control his power and was almost bitten by the zombie.
The zombie swung its arms, which looked like it had no bone structure, as if it were swinging two noodles, and made strange, indistinct noises, as if saying, "Brain...brain..."
"Run! You idiot, you can't beat this monster!"
"I'm a superhuman, I can breathe fire!"
"What's so great about it? Your fire can't even burn that monster to death. Run!"
"What the hell is it saying? Brains? This idiot is going to eat our brains?"
"Don't say that about him, he's our classmate too..."
"It's a monster now, it's completely turned into a monster. It won't listen to your name anymore, it's no longer human!"
"But he's a very nice person, can we save him?" The student who shared a dorm room with the zombie felt heartbroken and covered his face, bursting into tears.
"How can we be saved? Right now, I'm actually hoping someone will come to save us. I'm afraid this monster will eat our brains!"
"Let's kill it, cut off its head, maybe then it won't attack us!"
"No, what if there's hope? What if he can recover? Wouldn't we have killed someone?"
"He's not human anymore! If we don't kill this monster, it will kill us! You idiot!"
"Holy crap, is this a zombie?"
"His movements are stiff and unsteady, like a zombie!"
"Maybe... it really is a zombie!"
"It must be eliminated!"
"Second floor! Look, second floor! The library's second floor!"
The playground is very close to the library, offering a wide view; looking out, you can see the corridor on the second floor of the library.
"No way, there are three more green monsters!"
"Quickly lock the main entrance on the first floor of the library to prevent them from coming down. One on the playground is already a problem, but if three more come, we're doomed!"
Who will shut it down?
"To close the main door on the first floor of the library, we have to pass by this zombie on the playground, right? Who dares to go?"
At this moment, a boy stepped forward and said, "I'll go."
This is a member of the school basketball team, and also one of my friends from sixth grade.
Xiao Liu rushed to the playground and grabbed his friend, saying, "Why are you trying to be a hero? Let's wait for the government to send someone over."
"Look, they've already reached the second-floor stairwell and will be coming down soon. When there are four zombies on the playground, there will definitely be casualties."
"It's not your turn to go. The PE teacher, the security guard, the principal, they can all go."
The principal, who rushed over, coughed repeatedly.
Han Chengliu, are you sure this old man can go???
Meeting the principal's mournful gaze, Xiao Liu felt no guilt. Instead, he pointed at the principal and said, "The principal is here. Let the principal handle this. We'll step aside!"
He pulled his friend back, eager to leave the playground as quickly as possible.
He lowered his voice and complained, "You idiot, if something happens to you, your grandparents will be devastated."
The boy, who had been caught up in his heroic sentiments, finally calmed down. His parents had died in a car accident, and he had been raised by his grandparents. They had worked hard to save money to send him to university. He had said that he would repay his grandparents after graduation and let them enjoy their retirement. But what was he thinking now? What if something happened? Would his grandparents have to bury their son?
All eyes were on the principal, who was sweating profusely: "...Ahem, that, that brave student from earlier, you..." Go!
"Ouch, my stomach hurts!" The boy cried, rolling on the ground clutching his stomach. "Principal, my stomach suddenly hurts so much!"
Xiao Liu tried hard to suppress his laughter, thinking to himself: Dude, your acting is so fake!
The principal's lips twitched. He looked at the other students and saw that several students in the crowd had started clutching their stomachs and crying out in pain.
The principal took a deep breath: "...Where are the PE teacher and the security guard?"
After a long while, someone finally responded to him. It was a security guard who looked older than him. The old security guard stepped out from the crowd, his voice trembling, and pointed at the library: "The principal, the PE teacher, the young security guard, they've all turned into monsters."
headmaster:"……"
Students on the playground: "..."
The old security guard looked pained: "If all else fails, I'll go instead."
The principal coughed lightly and looked at Han Chengliu: "Um, kid, didn't your bodyguard come in?"
Han Chengliu smiled and said, "They were interviewed for security guard jobs, but you, Principal, rejected them because they had no experience in security work."
Principal: "...I regret it!"
He had high hopes for those two young men at first, but upon investigation, he discovered that they had no security guard experience, though they were quite experienced as bodyguards. This was not right!
Upon further investigation, he discovered that the two young men were actually Han Chengliu's bodyguards, trying to infiltrate the school as security guards, mainly to protect Han Chengliu. This was unacceptable!
The security guards are there to protect all the students, not just Han Chengliu. What if Han Chengliu gets into a conflict with another student and the security guards side with Han Chengliu? That would be ridiculous.
So he hired two more security guards, one of whom is the old man in front of him now.
Most of the people interviewing for security guard jobs are older; they can't continue in their current jobs, but haven't reached retirement age yet, putting them in a very awkward position. This is a huge problem! If something really happens, how can such elderly security guards ensure safety?
"Principal, don't delay any longer! Quickly send someone to close the doors; they've all gone downstairs!"
Upon hearing this, the principal looked over and saw three zombie-like creatures hopping down the stairs.
"I'll go." At that moment, a girl came out.
The girl was short, with a round face and big, round eyes.
"Are you sure you can do it?" the principal asked skeptically.
Without answering, the girl made a 100-meter sprint stance and ran off in a flash. When she got close to the zombie on the playground, she suddenly did a leapfrog, jumping directly over the zombie's head, and ran all the way to the library, where she closed the library door tightly.
"Well done!" the principal clapped and cheered.
One student said, "Isn't it true that she got into Longda University with bonus points for being an athlete?"
"Many people said she wasn't qualified to get into Longda University back then, but now look, it's true that athletes come in handy when it matters!"
"Is she a gymnast?"
"It seems to be a second-level gymnast and also a track and field athlete. He's quite versatile. If it weren't for his limited physical strength, he could probably also be a high jumper and long jumper."
"Wow, amazing!"
"The zombies in the library are fine for now, but what about the ones on the playground?"
"How about we go to the cafeteria and borrow two kitchen knives?"
"If all the girls go, it makes us guys look useless. No matter what, we must eliminate this zombie on the playground!"
“If we put an iron pot on our heads and then charge at it with a kitchen knife in hand, even if it bites our heads, it can only bite the iron pot.”
"That's a good idea!"
Just as some boys were getting restless and planning to take on the zombies head-on with iron pots on their heads, a butterfly flew into the playground.
"Look, what beautiful butterflies!"
"Look, there are more over there!"
"They're here too!"
"So many! Butterflies are flying in from all directions!"
"How can there be so many butterflies?"
Swarms of butterflies fluttered and landed on the zombie's head. Sunlight shone through the clouds onto the butterflies' wings, and each time a butterfly flapped its wings, shimmering powder fell.
"Are butterflies pollinating flowers?"
"Look, something's wrong with that zombie!"
"His head doesn't seem so green anymore; it's fading!"
"His skin color has returned to normal!"
"His bulging eyeballs look like they've been pressed in!"
"His eyes are no longer dull!"
"What's with those clear yet foolish eyes?"
"It's my stupid roommate who's back!"
"Is it back to normal?"
"So butterfly pollen can restore zombies to normal?"
"Quickly open the library doors so the PE teacher and security guard can get back to normal!"
Before anyone could open the library door, the butterfly had already flown towards the library, entered through the open window, and landed on top of the three zombies.
"Look! Their skin color has returned to normal!"
"Butterflies are amazing!"
"If we collect all this pollen, wouldn't that solve a big problem?" someone suddenly had a brilliant idea.
The principal's eyes lit up. He was much more informed than his classmates. He knew that this disaster was not just a simple infectious disease. If they could decipher the secrets of pollen, they might be able to prevent a huge catastrophe.
"Quickly, collect the pollen!" the principal shouted. "Hurry!"
The boy who had transformed back into a human from a zombie blinked his clear yet foolish eyes, his gaze filled with confusion: "How did I end up on the playground? That's strange. My head was spinning just now; I think I'm having some amnesia?"
He snapped out of his daze and saw a throng of classmates rushing towards him: "Hey, what are you doing!"
Some people took off his clothes, some pulled his hair, and some went even further, actually pulling down his pants!
In the library, the physical education teacher had just regained his senses when he was surrounded by countless students who groped him. Among them, one of the hands even belonged to the principal!
"Principal, what are you doing!"
"PE teacher, don't move! The pollen on you is extremely important; it's something that can save the country!"
"Save...the country?"
While everyone else was catching butterflies or collecting pollen, Xiao Liu looked towards the laboratory.
"Cheng Liu, where are you going?"
"I'm going to the lab to find my sister."
"I'll go with you."
Seeing his friend's lecherous expression, Xiao Liu punched him in the stomach: "I shouldn't have stopped you earlier, I should have let you feed the zombies! I'm warning you, if you ever lay a finger on my sister, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
"Wouldn't it be better if I were your brother-in-law?"
"Get lost!" Xiao Liu was about to kick him when the boy immediately begged for mercy, "I won't, I really won't!"
Xiao Liu clenched his fist: "If there's a next time, you're finished!"
Xiao Liu ran all the way to the laboratory, where he saw his sister wearing a white lab coat, diligently conducting research.
Through the glass, their eyes met.
Xiaoqi sighed helplessly: "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
Xiao Liu pushed open the door and went in: "Were those butterflies sent over to spread pollen on your orders?"
"Um."
"Can butterfly pollen really solve this disaster?"
"Um."
Xiao Liu frowned deeply: "Is it a certain flower that has this miraculous effect?"
Xiao Qi pursed her lips, her eyes fixed on her brother.
Xiao Liu took a deep breath, as if she understood something, and grabbed Xiao Qi's shoulder: "Don't say anything, don't tell anyone!"
“Brother, I still remember what Tang Xin said ten years ago. He said that the end of the world would come.”
"It will happen, it was bound to happen, and no one can stop it!"
"Brother, you know I can."
No! You can't!
"...I can do it."
Xiao Liu tightened his grip on her shoulder: "Han Qi, let me tell you, don't think you're so great! You're just a college student. You don't need to be so great, and you don't have the ability to save the world! Let the tall people hold up this world; it doesn't need a girl like you to play the hero!"
"...Brother, you're hurting me."
Xiao Liu immediately let go, but his eyes were fixed on her, as if if he relaxed for even a second, his sister would disappear from his sight.
"Brother, what do you think the ending would be like in Tang Xin's original world?"
"Anyway, he's already dead, he can't see it."
Will the end times bring dawn? Will our destroyed homes be rebuilt? Can this world... ever return to normal?
"I have no idea."
"Brother, if we could have stopped all of this earlier, wouldn't the apocalypse have been prevented? ...Sacrificing one person to protect the whole world is a worthwhile trade, isn't it?"
"No! No! No!!!"
Xiao Liu stared wide-eyed, his eyes bloodshot. He ran his fingers through his hair, his expression manic: "In the original world, I wasn't a good person, no! I could kill everyone in the world just for one person! Do you understand?"
"Xiao Qi, no—" His eyes were glazed over, and he seemed to be having a mental breakdown. The feeling of being possessed from many years ago had returned. He stared intently at Xiao Qi: "Sister, I... I think I'm being possessed."
"What?"
“Take me to find my uncle… Uncle—” Xiao Liu rolled his eyes.
"Brother!" Xiao Qi reached out to help him, but her hand was grabbed tightly instead.
Xiaoqi looked over and saw that her brother had opened his eyes, but his gaze was very strange! His eyes were filled with despair, sadness, pain, indignation, misanthropy, and hatred, but the moment they met hers, they transformed into joy, relief, and longing...
"Brother?" Xiao Qi called out tentatively.
Xiao Liu reached out and pulled Xiao Qi into his arms, holding her tightly as if trying to embed her into his body.
"Sister, sister, you're alive...that's wonderful..."
"Little sister, it's our fault, we failed to protect you..."
"You're right, in this world, the strong rule..."
"you are right……"
Xiao Qi looked completely bewildered: "Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Are you really possessed by something?"
Xiaoqi was about to take action to knock out this guy who looked a bit crazy, and then carry him to Longhu Mountain to find her uncle when the man let go of her. Xiaoqi looked up and was shocked to see that the man was crying his eyes out.
"Who...are you?" Xiao Qi asked uncertainly. This guy's crying style is a bit like my silly older brother.
"It's me, yet it's not me, waaaaah—"
"Brother?" Xiao Qi reached out and touched his forehead. "You don't have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense?"
Xiao Liu held Xiao Qi's hand: "Little sister, let's go home first."
He called Han Fei: "Hey, Grandpa, this is Han Chengliu, I'm here again."
Han Fei's heart sank: "I'll come see you right now."
Han Fei snapped his fingers.
He approached Han Chengliu and said, "You are indeed not affected by my supernatural abilities."
At this moment, Xiao Qi was frozen in place, but Han Chengliu was able to move normally, his gaze fixed on Xiao Qi.
"It's me. Many years have passed since the last time. The little sister in this world has grown up. She's grown up so well, fair-skinned and chubby, with a blessed appearance."
"You can't let Xiaoqi hear you say that, she might come after you."
"Trying to fight me? That's really energetic..." Han Chengliu exclaimed sincerely, "That's great..."
"You should have already read the memories of Xiao Liu's body, right?"
"Yes."
"You know what happened here, so can you tell me what happened in the other world after Tang Xin died?"
Han Chengliu took a deep breath and looked intently at Han Fei: "Before I tell you, can you answer one question for me?"
"What's the problem?"
"If sacrificing one person could save the whole world, would you sacrifice that person?"
Han Fei sensed the implication in his words, his gaze falling on the frozen Xiao Qi, and he narrowed his eyes as he asked, "Is the person who will be sacrificed Xiao Qi?"
"What if that's the case?"
Han Fei smiled, though he was nearly seventy, his smile still had the roguish charm of a young man: "When I recognized my seven children, the seventh one was only three years old. She was still a naive little baby. After she learned that I was her grandfather, she became close to me without any barriers, calling me 'Grandpa' affectionately. Unlike the other children, who were more or less sensible at that time and inevitably wary of me."
"She is the child I raised, she is my whole world. I will not agree to trade my whole world for someone else's."
Han Chengliu looked at him with a probing gaze and asked in a low voice, "Even with your current status as a national hero, you still disagree?"
"Those in a position must do their utmost. To me, being a national hero is an honor, not a shackle. If it takes sacrificing one person to save the world, then..." Han Fei lowered his eyes.
"What!" Han Chengliu's voice rose, his eyes flashing with ferocity. So, we still have to sacrifice Xiao Qi? I knew it... I knew it... you're all the same!
“I don’t know what happened in your world, or whether Xiao Qi is in danger. But in this world, as a national hero, I have autonomy. In other words, it is because I have the ability that people are wary of me that they gave me this national hero status. I have the ability and the right to protect my Xiao Qi. If someone has to be sacrificed, then even if it is myself, it will not be her.”
He wasn't from the Dragon Kingdom, or even from this world, so why should he sacrifice the child he raised from childhood for the sake of this world?
Let alone Xiao Qi, he would never sacrifice any of the seven children to ensure the peace and tranquility of this world.
Everything is preordained. His mission in coming into this world, from a young man to an old man, may not simply be to guide these seven children.
If he hadn't met Tang Xin, he wouldn't have known that the seven children would eventually be redeemed and transformed from villains to heroes by taking advantage of the apocalypse. Perhaps he would have naively believed that he came into this world only to change these seven children.
But now that he knows the children will become better in the future, and that even without his presence, the seven children will still become good people, his presence seems somewhat superfluous, perhaps only to give them a better childhood and growth environment.
Heaven and Earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs. How could they possibly favor seven people? Why would one person descend upon them for their sake?
"What can you do? You're not Xiao Qi." There was a hint of disdain in Han Chengliu's voice.
"You don't need to worry about that. Just know that with me here, no one can touch Xiao Qi. Regardless of my current status as a national hero, or the supplies I acquired over ten years before the apocalypse, this country will not force me. I have the ability to protect Xiao Qi."
Han Chengliu was taken aback: "How many supplies have you exchanged in the past ten years?"
"As soon as I knew the end of the world was coming, I started preparing. In the past ten years, I switched to the real estate industry and bought a lot of land. I built safe houses for the end times, and all the properties under my name are filled with a lot of supplies."
"Safe houses?" Han Chengliu smiled bitterly: "No house can hold out. In the end, the city will become a wasteland, and we will just be ants struggling to survive on the ruins."
"No rebuilding of homes?"
"Rebuilt, then a tornado wiped it all out. Changed strategy, built an underground world, then an earthquake, just a coffin prepared for themselves. In the end, everyone gave up, gave up, and stopped wasting their time."
"There will always be someone who doesn't give up, right?"
"Indeed, some people did not give up, but instead of building houses, they began building all sorts of spaceships and Noah's Arks to reach the universe..."
Han Chengliu gave a wry smile: "Only the rich can participate in this kind of thing. The strong remain strong in different environments. If you can't make a name for yourself in a peaceful world, you can only languish in the apocalypse. What else can you do?"
"Are they planning to move to another planet to live?" Han Fei thought that if they could find a living environment similar to Earth, it would be a way out.
"In fact, with the frequent appearance of superhumans, the abnormal weather, and the rampant pandemic, governments around the world have begun to look for another way out. The universe is so vast and mysterious that it is not possible to find a place to survive overnight. Not everyone is qualified to be taken away; some people will always be abandoned and left on Earth for various reasons."
"Those who leave are not necessarily destined for a good end. Even if they find another planet where they can live, it will never be as good as the old Blue Star. They can only use it as a refuge, but they cannot truly settle down and live a peaceful life."
"I've always wondered why my sister faked her death, to deceive the whole world, and even to deceive me and my older siblings."
"Later, when I learned the reason, I actually hoped that she would have died then, which would have been better than being forced to bleed out like that in the end."
“I wasn’t a good person in that world. My hands were covered in blood, and I hurt a lot of people. That’s why my older brothers and sisters were able to clear their names and become national heroes, but I can’t. I’m just an ordinary person. Apart from money and supplies, I have no special abilities. I’m just a useless person. I can’t protect my sister.”
"I thought they could protect Xiao Qi, but I forgot that among the five, only I am an ordinary person. The others already have another identity. They are heroes of the Dragon Kingdom. How great they are! They are so great that... they can sacrifice my Xiao Qi for this world..."
"What Xiaoqi suffered the most was that... the ones who bled her were none other than her eldest brother, second sister, third brother, and fourth brother."
"Grandpa, why did they do that? Is becoming a hero really more important than family?"
“I still remember when we were in the orphanage, we huddled together for warmth, and my older brother said he would protect us all. But in the end, he didn’t do it. My little Qi was left to wander far from home at such a young age, suffering all kinds of hardships. She was wary of people, wary of everyone. When she learned that her own blood could restore zombies, she didn’t think about going public, nor did she think about sacrificing herself to be a great person. Instead, she chose to die and disappear from the world’s sight forever.”
"Why should she sacrifice herself for this awful world? She didn't receive warmth from this world, so why should she give back to it? I don't think she did anything wrong. Humans are inherently selfish, and Xiaoqi's upbringing makes her even less likely to have that so-called spirit of great love. I don't think she did anything wrong. I even blame her for appearing in the first place."
"But she smiled and said, 'It's to save my brother.'"
"She said that her older brothers and sisters were people she couldn't leave behind in this world, and even though she had faked her death, she still appeared to save me."
"Once she appears, the secret will eventually be exposed."
"But... anyone could have done it, why them! Grandpa, why them! I can't accept it, I hate them!" Han Chengliu broke down in tears, "Even if Xiaoqi was sacrificed, even if her blood was drained, what difference does it make? The apocalypse is still the apocalypse. The world is already ruined, already a wasteland. The only thing that has changed is that there are no more zombies. Earthquakes, storms, floods, scorching heat, freezing cold—none of them have been spared, and humans still can't survive. Even if those people turned back into ordinary people from zombies, they weren't superhumans, they would still die. So why sacrifice my Xiaoqi, why!"
He raised his head, looking at Han Fei with despair and sorrow: "Grandpa, I killed them. I used Xiao Qi to protect myself, and I used a poison that could kill any superhuman to kill them. I killed everyone who pressured Xiao Qi, including my brother and sister. But what good did it do? Xiao Qi can't come back. This time, she really can't come back..."
Who could understand the despair he felt upon seeing his sister's mangled corpse? Later, when his sister came back to life, he was overjoyed. But not long after, she truly died. The grief he felt was even more despairing than the first time. He forgot to cry, forgot everything, and simply stood there, motionless, beside his sister's mummified body until he fell into a coma.
The first thing he did upon waking was seek revenge.
Everyone must be buried with the sister!
My sister has that kind of poison, the kind that kills superhumans effortlessly, but even after being drained of its power, she didn't use it on them.
The younger sister may be kind, but he is not a kind person at all. You could say he is the most wicked of the seven!
Let him be evil to the very end!
Even if he goes to hell, it doesn't matter. He's not afraid of hell. The world has been unkind to him, so why should he be kind to the world?
If hell truly exists in this world, then he will overturn it!
He even hoped that hell really existed, that there really was a place for ghosts to go, so that it would mean that only his sister's body had died, and perhaps her soul was still alive, perhaps there was still hope...
Even if he was deceiving himself, he still hoped that this hope truly existed.
Han Fei took a deep breath, his whole body tense, and he suppressed the urge to hit someone. He told himself that the little boss, little Rou, little third brother, and little fourth brother in this world were different from the bastards in that world.
He reached out and helped Han Chengliu up, gently patted his shoulder, and pointed to Xiao Qi in the grid: "Look, Xiao Qi is fine, still here."
Han Chengliu walked blankly towards Xiaoqi, gently stroking her head: "Xiaoqi...it's so nice, Xiaoqi here is so nice..."
But this kind of Xiaoqi isn't good either.
She is too kind.
She was raised to be far, far kinder than her counterpart in the other world.
Through Xiao Liu's memories, Han Chengliu learned that Xiao Qi had actually taken the initiative to stand up and help those who had turned into zombies, and that she had already started using butterflies to save people.
This is completely different from Xiao Qi in the other world. When Xiao Qi in the other world learned that she had such abilities, her first reaction was to feel a sense of crisis and choose to fake her death, fearing that others would find out.
But Xiaoqi here is so kind...too kind...
When Han Fei learned that Xiao Qi was using butterflies to sprinkle pollen, his heart sank: Had I taught Xiao Qi to be too kind?
Time had barely passed when Han Fei received a phone call, before he could even give Xiao Qi a few words of advice.
"Old Han, is the butterfly incident related to Xiao Qi?"
"Heh." Han Fei just sneered.
He guessed these guys would find Xiao Qi, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.
"Do you know where these butterflies came from, and where the pollen came from?"
"Old Gu, you shouldn't have made that call."
"Hey, Lao Han, they were originally going to go directly to the school to pick up Xiao Qi, but I insisted on calling you."
Han Fei understood.
These guys originally wanted to bypass me and take Xiaoqi away directly.
Old Gu's phone call, seemingly to inquire, was actually a secret message.
He knew he had the ability to stop time. If those people set off now, he could make this call and stop time to take Xiaoqi away before they did.
Thank you.
Be careful.
"I understand, I'll hang up now."
"Old Han!"
"Hmm? Is there anything else?"
"The other children should also be careful."
"I understand, I'm hanging up."
"good."
Old Gu's point is that if Xiao Qi can't be found, the other children will be taken away as a threat?
Ha, they really think they're easy prey?
Xiaoqi had just come to her senses when she heard her grandfather on the phone. She swallowed the question that was on the tip of her tongue. Just as her grandfather finished the call and she was about to speak, time stopped again.
Han Chengliu, who didn't belong to this world, was still not paused. He looked at Han Fei with a gloomy expression: "Xiao Qi has been discovered. Are they coming to capture Xiao Qi?"
"I said I would protect her."
"What can you change when it comes to saving the world, to all the people in the world? If sacrificing one person can save the world, they will do anything to get Xiao Qi."
"Just watch and see."
Han Fei led Han Chengliu to the high-ranking leader. The place seemed deserted, and everyone was frozen in place.
Han Fei snapped his fingers, and time began to flow once more.
The high-ranking leader seemed to have anticipated his arrival, showing no signs of nervousness. He calmly pointed to the coffee table and said, "It's been a long time. How about we have some tea and a chat?"
Do you know why I've come here?
“I’ve received information that there’s a way to turn zombies back into normal people, and the source is your granddaughter. Since you’re here, then this information is definitely accurate.”
"Are you trying to fish for me?"
“Nobody fishes with their own body. If I were fishing, you wouldn’t have gotten here so easily today.”
"Time has stopped, so what can you do to me?"
"Superpowered individuals are emerging in droves, and powerful ones are appearing one after another. There is already a superpower that can restrain time-related superpowered individuals, called the power of the domain. Within the power of the domain, nothing can stop. If I were fishing, you would have stepped directly into the domain when you came here."
Han Fei chuckled lightly: "How do you know that his domain can restrain my time? It may be able to restrain other people's time from stopping, but it may not be mine."
"I also had this concern, so I didn't do it that way, which also gives us both some leeway."
"It seems neither of us wants to push things to the extreme."
"Want some tea?"
“Okay.” Han Fei pulled Han Chengliu down to sit.
"Is this your sixth child?"
"yes."
"He and your granddaughter are siblings from the same mother."
"yes."
“Then I understand. You came here with your grandson, who looks resentful and wary. The way you want to turn zombies into normal people might sacrifice your granddaughter.”
"No wonder you became a high-ranking leader."
"I want to know, is the sacrifice significant?"
"big."
How big is it? Is it within your tolerance range?
"cannot."
"Is there no room for negotiation?"
"No."
"So there's no room for negotiation?"
No, not exactly.
"Then just say it."
"Don't touch Xiaoqi."
Han Fei took a small sip of tea: "I'm not short of money or power, and I don't care about these things."
“My seven children are my biggest concern, my bottom line, and my Achilles’ heel.”
"Anyone who touches them is my enemy."
The high-ranking leader personally poured him tea, chuckled, and shook his head: "So what? What trump card do you have to threaten me with? Start your threat now."
Han Fei wasn't worried about him poisoning the tea. He drank it casually and returned a light laugh: "I can stop time. Perhaps your people can use their domains to restrain me, but the range is small and can't cover the entire Dragon Kingdom. You don't know where I'll go. If anyone harms Xiao Qi to ensure the peace of the Dragon Kingdom, then I'll make things the opposite. Turning zombies into ordinary people doesn't bring much benefit; the disaster will still exist. Offending me will bring great calamity. I'll escalate the disaster. I think you know very well how this is worthwhile."
"I understand what you mean. Xiao Qi sacrificed a lot, only to turn those who had become zombies back into ordinary people. They won't become superhumans, and the infection won't stop. New zombies will still appear, the world's disasters won't stop, and the apocalypse will still come. The reward is small, and you've offended me. You'll become the destroyer of this world, causing destruction everywhere?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I mean."
"Is it possible that the zombies disappeared, and the infection disappeared as well?"
Han Fei scoffed, "There's another possibility: the infection disappears, but no new superhumans appear. The infection in Dragon Kingdom disappears, but in other countries, it still exists. With infection comes zombies and superhumans; there are advantages and disadvantages. But if there's no infection, no zombies, but also no superhumans, other countries will have a large number of superhumans, while Dragon Kingdom will only have ordinary people with a small number of superhumans. In the end, they will only become enslaved beings in the apocalypse."
The high-ranking leader clapped his hands: "I thought you would convince me, and I imagined many ways to convince me, but I didn't expect it to be this. Han Guoshi, besides your strong supernatural abilities, you are also very good with words. It seems that I made the right choice in appointing you as a national hero."
"I promise you, no one can touch your seven grandchildren, but you have to give me something in return."
"Just tell me if you need my help."
"Is it because I'm getting older that I've become more direct in my speech?"
"Regardless of age, I simply dislike the roundabout ways of you politicians."
“Then I’ll be frank. As you said, sacrificing your granddaughter would bring too little benefit to the country as a whole, it’s not worth it. Sometimes, sitting in this position means considering the big picture, not just your own little corner. Perhaps it’s too cruel to those who have become zombies, but I have to consider the vast majority of people, and the future of the Dragon Kingdom.”
"Korean scholar, use your extraordinary abilities, your wisdom and strategy to serve the Dragon Kingdom. I hope you will not hold back and will do your utmost."
"Can."
"Let's drink tea instead of wine, cheers!"
The two raised their glasses and clinked them together. Han Chengliu, who was standing to the side, was completely shocked and practically became a background figure, with no presence at all.
When he left, Han Chengliu was still somewhat dazed.
He admired his grandfather for being able to engage in a back-and-forth exchange with such a powerful figure, and even ultimately gain the upper hand and persuade the other party.
"What's wrong? Are you stupid?" Han Fei teased.
"I'm just a little nervous."
"Tsk! You dared to cut kidneys in another world, and you've done so many evil things without ever backing down."
"...I was forced into it at first, but later I became numb to it. Anyway, it was all done by my subordinates."
"Now that you're here, why don't you go and meet your godfather?"
Andy? He... is still alive?
"He's been living a life of torture, trying to become a superhuman. Go and meet him, show your respect, and send him on his way."
Are you sure this is showing filial piety?
“How can it not be considered filial piety? His life was a sin, and his death is a blessing. Helping him to be reincarnated sooner is filial piety.”
"Impressive!" Han Chengliu gave a thumbs up. Grandpa's persuasive skills are truly impressive; no wonder he was able to convince the top leader.
While Han Chengliu was dealing with Andy, Han Fei also became very busy.
Whenever a disaster occurs in a place, Han Fei will quickly arrive and stop time, because after the time is stopped, only he and Neptune can move. He and Neptune are responsible for moving the injured and rescuing people. After the time is cleared, he will let time flow again.
Such a large amount of energy expenditure caused him to lose a lot of weight.
Han Fei looked in the mirror and sighed, "These old bones of mine aren't up to the task."
Aquaman is also losing weight at a visible rate.
Xiaoqi asked Haiwang many times. Haiwang is usually very obedient and tells Xiaoqi everything, but he has kept this matter a secret.
Xiaoqi had a vague suspicion in her heart, but every time she went to see her grandfather, he avoided her.
"Grandpa is deliberately avoiding me!" Xiaoqi stomped her foot.
Finally, one day, she cornered Han Fei: "Grandpa, is it because you're protecting me that you've become so busy?"
"Grandpa, you've lost weight!" Xiaoqi said, her eyes filled with tears.
Han Fei pinched his granddaughter's cheek and said with a smile, "I am a national hero of the Dragon Kingdom. In times of crisis, I cannot hide away and enjoy a life of leisure."
"But Grandpa is so old, there are plenty of young people who can take the lead, why should Grandpa go!"
"With great power comes great responsibility, and I cannot shirk it."
Perhaps the real reason I came into this world, besides changing the fate of seven children, is this.
If we can stop this apocalypse, perhaps we can return to our original world.
The children have all grown up. Although I am reluctant to let them go, who wants to be an old man? Naturally, I would like to return to my original young body.
Han Fei reached out and touched the towering tree in the courtyard, which he had brought back after it was struck by lightning.
The leaves swayed gently, and the scent of herbs filled the air.
"Have you mutated too? Then let's save the world together."
In the days that followed, Han Fei had another companion besides the Sea King: a giant tree that rose from the ground and walked on its roots.
Han Fei was responsible for pausing time and finding the wounded, while Aquaman was responsible for transporting them. Later, Aquaman mutated and gained healing abilities, which made things easier for him. He no longer needed to be a porter and could heal the wounded on the spot.
The tree takes root in the earth, bringing life back to a place that was once devastated. It is like a tree of life, mending and repairing this broken world.
Their footsteps did not stop within the borders of the Dragon Kingdom, but went beyond its borders to all parts of the world.
When disaster strikes, time stands still, people are rescued, and life reshapes the environment, as if the disaster had never happened.
All of this is happening quietly.
Humans living on Earth felt a sudden dizziness, then recovered. The surrounding environment seemed somewhat different, but they couldn't quite put their finger on what had changed.
Unbeknownst to them, they had just narrowly escaped death, and it was a man, a fish, and a tree that saved them.
Xiaoqi knew she couldn't change her grandfather's mind; he wanted to save the world, and all she could do was offer small favors. She wouldn't be so kind as to lose too much blood, but she would be moderately kind, drawing blood within her tolerance and mixing it with pollen so that butterflies could spread pollen all over the world.
Where zombies roam, butterflies will always appear, turning them back into ordinary people.
Within the Dragon Kingdom, no one could solve this phenomenon. Some even deliberately guided the narrative: everything in the world is interconnected and mutually restraining; where there are zombies, there must be something that can cure the zombie virus, just as a good antidote always grows next to a poisonous plant.
Foreign countries also tried to solve the mystery, but they were unaware of Xiao Qi's existence and had no idea that it could be related to a girl's blood. Ultimately, the unsolvable puzzle was attributed to: God's mercy!
Han Fei was racing against time, fighting against the underworld for people, and struggling against heaven and earth. Such actions naturally led to various heavenly tribulations, but each time they were blocked by a large tree.
This tree may have been injured by lightning in the past, developing a resistance that allows it to withstand strikes without harm, and in fact, each strike makes it stronger and more resilient. It's as if the lightning strikes have recharged it.
When Han Fei was seventy years old, infectious diseases and natural disasters disappeared. Some people with supernatural abilities woke up to find their abilities gone, as if they had just woken from a dream. The apocalypse may have come, but it left no trace in people's memories, and the world returned to peace and tranquility.
There is no such thing as a peaceful and tranquil life; it's just that someone is bearing the burden and shielding us from the storms.
Finally relieved of his heavy responsibilities, Han Fei stole half a day of leisure, sitting on a recliner in the courtyard. To his left, a towering tree shaded him from the sun, and to his right, the Sea King fanned him with his large tail. He lived a very comfortable life.
The children are all successful. The eldest is well-suited for politics and is doing very well. Xiao Rou joined the government after retiring from the army. The third child is still in the army and is in excellent physical condition, so he hasn't been discharged yet. The fourth child has become a famous prosecutor and is known as a fearsome figure among criminals. The fifth child has appeared on the international screen and won awards left and right, transforming from an idol to a powerful actor.
After Han Chengliu dealt with Andy, he waited for a while and, seeing that no one was making things difficult for his sister, he chose to leave. Before leaving, he went to Longhu Mountain to see Shancheng.
Xiao Liu seemed to have had a long dream, and it seemed that she had become a little estranged from her older brothers and sisters, but it wasn't obvious. Only Han Fei and Xiao Qi could vaguely sense it. Xiao Liu was still the same as always, a super doting brother to her younger sister.
Xiaoqi became a researcher, and Xiaoliu invested heavily in national research projects, changing the way he supported his sister's career.
Han Fei lay on the recliner, drowsy. As he slept, the palm-leaf fan in his hand fell to the ground. His face became peaceful, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and he maintained the pose while his body gradually stiffened.
Neptune let out a mournful cry as he looked up at the sky.
The leaves of the big tree fluttered down.
When Han Fei opened his eyes again, he felt his body become lighter, unlike the tired and heavy feeling he had in the old man's body.
He was wearing a simulation headset, and when he took it off, a flood of memories rushed into his mind.
Those around him clapped enthusiastically: "You did it!"
"Dr. Han, you did it! You changed the past!"
"Dr. Han, you used time travel technology to return to Earth, changing the apocalypse and altering our future as we drift through the universe."
"Dr. Han, right now, we are standing on Blue Star! Our home, our hometown, everything is so wonderful, even the air is sweet!"
"We can finally breathe without straws, Dr. Han, you did it!"
Han Fei looked down at the simulation mirror in his hand. Because the memories that a soul can carry are not many, unlike brain cells which have a lot of storage space, he selectively selected some memories. However, during the transfer, most of the memories were still lost.
He transmigrated into a book, or rather, traveled through history; he only remembered the first half of the history.
After Tang Xin's death, Xiao Qi's special abilities were used to control the infectious disease, and no more zombies appeared. However, no more superhumans also appeared.
The global catastrophe did not stop there; the entire world eventually collapsed and became ruins.
Out of desperation, countries around the world have used aviation technology to send some people into space to other planets to eke out a living.
Han Fei and his ilk were the people sent out by the Dragon Kingdom at that time, and he... was a descendant of Han Chengliu.
Han Fei was quite knowledgeable about his ancestors, and when he traveled through time, he thought that if possible, he hoped to change the past of his ancestors while changing the end times.
"So that's how it is..." Han Fei murmured, "What kind of being struck the tree by lightning?"
Because of his memory lapses, he mistook the other party for the will of Heaven and a destroyer.
But now that his memories have fully returned, he feels that it might have been to help him. Without the lightning-struck tree mutating into the Tree of Life, he wouldn't have been able to change the apocalypse or reshape the world.
"Dr. Han, someone has come to visit you."
Who is it?
"They were researchers from abroad. They said they gave you a Tree of Life and asked if you remember it."
"Please let them in."
Han Fei learned from them that returning to Earth and their home was not just the dream of the Dragon Kingdom, but the dream of all the Earthlings who were stranded in the universe at that time.
The people of the Dragon Kingdom are focused on researching time travel, hoping to go back to the past, change the past, and prevent the apocalypse from coming.
Many researchers abroad are more focused on protecting the environment and how to reshape Earth. They do not aspire to go back to the past and change it; they hope to develop a Tree of Life to reshape Earth and place it on the ruins of Earth that have been destroyed, in an attempt to revive Earth.
However, their experiments always ended in failure because it was impossible to inject life force into a destroyed and dead planet like Earth. Success was only possible if Earth still had a breath left.
Upon learning that the people of the Dragon Kingdom had already implemented the time travel plan, and that Dr. Han himself had personally taken action, they also took action, using the Dragon Kingdom's time-space portal to send the Tree of Life to the time-space where Han Fei was located.
...
After Han Fei traveled on Earth and changed history, the natives here seemed to have no memory of the apocalypse that had occurred. Their memories and history only recorded that there had been an infectious disease, which was quite serious.
Those who wandered the universe returned to Earth. They were more like outsiders, carefully integrating themselves into the present-day Earth and burying all their past in their hearts.
Han Fei arrived at what is now Han Family Village.
The sixth child in this world is his grandson, not his ancestor. He should be a descendant of Han Chengliu, who possessed the body of the sixth child, whom he had met before.
More than a hundred years have passed since that infectious disease outbreak.
Han Chengda, Han Rou, Han Chengshan, Han Chengsi, Han Chengwu, Xiao Liu, and Xiao Qi have all become ashes under tombstones.
They were buried in rows together, which made it convenient for future generations to pay their respects.
Han Fei noticed a tombstone in front of them, which was much more luxurious than theirs, and it was inscribed with: The Tomb of Han Fei.
Han Fei: ...
Should we also offer some prayers to ourselves? Burn some paper money?
