Wang Ran looked at the navigation and said, "Tell me about you Doomsday Apostles."
"What do you mean by 'you' Doomsday Apostles?" Bai Fan said dissatisfiedly, "They are the Doomsday Apostles! I have already drawn a clear line between myself and those psychopaths!"
Bai Fan joined in order to save his childhood friend who was brainwashed by the Doomsday Apostles. He was not on the same page with the Doomsday Apostles and was almost killed by the Doomsday Apostles just now.
He is very angry now.
Wang Ran asked indifferently, "Besides you, are there any extraordinary people in the Doomsday Apostles?"
He originally thought that there were no extraordinary people in the Doomsday Apostles before the awakening ceremony, so that he could rush in and kill without any scruples.
But Bai Fan changed his mind.
He now wants to know how many extraordinary people the Doomsday Apostles have so that he can make the next plan.
Bai Fan sighed, "The first nine Doomsday Apostles are all extraordinary. Originally, only No. 4 and I were in Yong'an City, but you exposed them. I estimated that they would transfer a few back."
Wang Ran was surprised, "So many?"
He remembered that Shi Si said that the extraordinary genes were silenced by the first emperor Ying Zheng in some way. Since the Qin Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, almost no one has awakened extraordinary abilities.
How can there be so many extraordinary people in the Doomsday Apostles?
"There is a gene in the human body that controls extraordinary abilities. The Doomsday Apostles call this gene the extraordinary gene." Bai Fan explained, "I don't know what happened 2,000 years ago. All the extraordinary genes in the human body have been silenced."
Wang Ran nodded slowly.
This part of the information is consistent with what Shi Si told him.
"Later, only people with extremely strong extraordinary genes can awaken on their own. I am such a person." Bai Fan said proudly, "Two thousand years ago, I was definitely a legendary figure!"
Wang Ran curled his lips and didn't want to answer.
"In addition to awakening on their own, they can also be stimulated by external objects." Bai Fan continued, "The big guy underground will secrete a substance that stimulates extraordinary genes from time to time. The Apostles of Doom call this substance spiritual matter."
Wang Ran remembered a previous simulation.
He explored underground and encountered a glowing plain. He fell into a coma because he breathed in the glowing powder on the plain. After waking up, his mind became more agile.
Are those glowing powders spiritual substances?
Bai Fan continued, "Whenever a spiritual overflow occurs—when the big guy underground secretes spiritual substances—they will collect these spiritual substances and send them to the laboratory for extraction and purification."
"However, spiritual overflow events are very unstable. The location and duration of occurrence are very random. Sometimes they cannot be discovered, and sometimes they are over by the time we rush in. And the content is very small."
Bai Fan sighed: "I don't know how many hundreds of years the Apostles of Doom have accumulated to wake up eight people in this generation, and then they all went all in one go!"
Wang Ran was surprised: "Have they been planning to destroy the world hundreds of years ago?"
Bai Fan nodded: "I haven't studied their history carefully, but at least it can be traced back to a prince in the Song Dynasty, because the No. 4 family has been apostles of doom for generations." Wang
Ran frowned: "Have you not changed your goal for hundreds of years?"
Bai Fan shook his head: "Never changed."
Wang Ran was silent.
He originally thought that the Apostles of Doom were a cult organization that discovered the giant underground beast by accident, but he never expected that the Apostles of Doom were actually huge creatures with a long history.
The determination to destroy the world has not wavered for hundreds of years
. Just hearing about it is a bit creepy.
Wang Ran frowned and said, "Why are they so persistent?"
As a huge creature that has been passed down for hundreds of years, the connections and wealth accumulated by the Apostles of Doom must be very amazing. How can they be willing to give up everything they have now?
Awaken the giant beast and give up everything just to build a supernatural civilization that may not be better than the current one?
Eat oil cakes or not?
"I don't understand either. Number 4 said it was because of a prophecy on a mural." Bai Fan pursed his lips. "I haven't seen the mural in person, but I heard from Number 4 that the mural predicted a future that is much more terrifying than the resurrection of the giant beast."
He hesitated and said, "Number 4 said that the apostles of the end of the world are saving the world."
Wang Ran was stunned.
"But I think this is the tactic used by the cult to brainwash ordinary people!" Bai Fan said firmly, "Prophecy is bullshit! The Mayans also predicted the end of the world in 2012!"
Wang Ran was silent for two seconds and then nodded slowly.
The future of the resurrection of the giant beast is a future where countless people die and only one person survives. He couldn't think of a future more terrifying than this.
Could it be the extinction of mankind?
But if countless people died and only one survived, it was almost the same as the extinction of mankind. He couldn't exterminate himself just to avoid extinction, right?
He was puzzled.
He temporarily suppressed his doubts and changed the subject: "Who is more powerful between you and the other eight?"
The number of extraordinary people in the Apostles of Doom exceeded his imagination. His original plan of rushing through them in one go was no longer appropriate.
He wanted to know how many enemies Bai Fan could withstand.
"Uh!" Bai Fan suddenly hesitated, "If we were in the water, in a place suitable for me to perform, I should probably be a little stronger than them."
Cai Qing's face could not hide his guilt.
Wang Ran asked, "What about on land?"
Bai Fan's voice weakened: "I am no match for them on land."
Wang Ran was puzzled: "Didn't you say that your extraordinary genes are very strong. If you go back two thousand years, you can be a legendary figure, why can you only survive in the water?"
"No matter how talented you are, you can't compare to those who take drugs!"
No matter how long you last, it's not as good as applying magic oil!
Bai Fan said unwillingly: "All the power hidden in my body has been used to revive the extraordinary genes. I don't have enough stamina and my abilities have hardly been developed! If I also had spiritual substances to use, I would definitely be stronger than them!"
Wang Ran asked in confusion: "They don't let you use spiritual substances?"
Bai Fan gritted his teeth and said: "I am a new member. They don't believe me and said that at least my grandchildren will be eligible to use spiritual substances!"
The Apostles of Doom are indeed an organization with a long history. The fact that they mention grandchildren as soon as they open their mouths shows the foundation of the organization!
Wang Ran opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
After a while, he sighed and said, "It seems that I can't count on you."
The Apostles of Doom are huge. They must have accumulated a huge network of people and wealth. Even the law enforcers in Yong'an City may have members of the Apostles of Doom!
If there are traitors among the law enforcers, it can explain why Bai Fan's USB flash drive was not taken seriously.
"I have to be careful that someone stabs me in the back."
Wang Ran thought that he couldn't cooperate too closely with the law enforcers, otherwise the Apostles of Doom might know what he was going to do next before Bai Fan. He
was alone and weak, how could he break this situation?
