Ch 214 Light of the Apocalypse 8.30
XunMi and Co. were still at the lakeside munching on sunflower seeds and playing games, completely carefree. Suddenly, a gold light burst through the lake waters. The carefree onlookers immediately closed their eyes from the pain, tilting the heads away.
The tablet in XunMiâs hands fell to the floor. When they had been immersed in the golden light, she had felt as if someone was watching her. She hadnât seen anyone or noticed any eyes on her. And yet a pair of eyes appeared in her mind. They were a pair of glistening eyes. The golden eyes carried vast starlight. Anyone that took a glance would willingly become intoxicated.
But XunMi only felt that these eyes were familiar, as if she had seen them before. They used those eyes to gaze at her for a long, long time.
When the golden light dispersed, XunMi felt the gaze disappear with it. Immediately after, a whirlpool began forming on the lake. It grew bigger and bigger, as wind began to blow around it.
XunMi quickly set up a wall of waves to block the wind and protect the others. The lake water began to rush back rapidly, almost drying up the entire lake.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
About ten minutes later, everything fell to silence. It was the same lake. The water inside was still the same the same clean jade color.
âWhat just happened?â Ling Chen frowned. Boss had been down there for six days already. It had been pretty peaceful for the first few days. They ate and drank merrily.
But there was suddenly such large movements today. Now, it was back to calmness. Ling Chen was feeling a bit worried.
XunMi lightly tapped on her chin, peering thoughtfully into the lake. In reality, she was contacting the system. âBaoBao, are you keeping anything from me?â
Was his transmigration really a coincidence? Or was it destiny like BaoBao had said before?
BaoBao rolled around on his tummy before rubbing cutely onto XunMi cheeks. [Madam Host, I really donât know that much. The stuff that I do know, I canât say. You havenât reached that authority. When you reach level 70, you can unlock some information.] This was news that he had just received from the main system. To be honest, he was confused too okay?
âSomeoneâs coming.â Song ZiQian stood up, his hand propped onto his gun holster. They had expected the previous chaos to attract the other group. But they still hadnât had the chance to conclude with these people were friend or foe.
XunMi crossed one leg over the other and relaxed into the sofa. She leaned over to pick up the tablet on the floor. âIf we canât come to an agreement with them, then we can just tie them up and throw them out.â She wasnât planning on letting anyone disturb her husband.
Soon, the newcomers appeared. It was the military major from the previous large group they had traveled in. There was a mix of people behind him: military men and some mission men from their large group. When they saw XunMi and the two men, they froze for a second, as if not believing that they could have run into them.
Hadnât they left already? What were they doing here again?
Currently, the military major was about to collapse. How was he going to complete his mission now? He really didnât have the courage to go up against these people. Even though he had more people, their power still couldnât compare to the other side. He had no chose but to approach amicably.
âLeader Song, Miss Ming, Mr. Ling. We meet again! Where did Captain Ye go? I donât see him around. â The major said politely with a smile, hoping that they couldnât hit a smiling man in the face.
But what was this suddenly tense atmosphere? Why did he feel like they were treating him with hostility?
XunMi narrowed her eyes. The corners of her eyes creased charmingly. But they also emitted a sense of danger and pressure, making others not dare to meet her in the eyes. Her originally alluring beauty transformed into a demonic malice, as if she was a ghost with her claws out ready to pounce.
âWhy are you looking for boss?â Ling Chenâs face had darkened, his hands forming into fists.
The major was completely confused? What did he do wrong? Who can explain to him? âUm, I was just asking. I donât mean anything, really.â No matter what the situation was, he should lower himself first.
Ling Chen nodded his head. âWhat are you doing here?â
âUh, the previous scene was too astonishing. So we came to take a look. What..what about you three?â The major really wanted to die. He really wanted to give up. Miss Mingâs expression was too terrifying. He was too scared.
âSince you donât have any business, you can leave now. As for us...we also felt that this was a place with good scenery. What? We canât be here?â Ling Chen never tried to be soft-spoken. His boss was still missing, he didnât have the time to play word games.
XunMi lightly looked through the group, before settling her gaze back to her tablet.
BaoBao said there wasnât any danger in the lake. That golden light had just been because of the excess energy flow. That probably meant that her husband had successfully gained more power.
The major was a bit hesitant. In the end, he finally got up his courage to speak. âActually, we came here again because we received news that there was a treasure here. It had the ability to maintain the life in this area and block out the virus. Our bosses want us to bring the treasure back to the lab for researching. We hope to be able to discover an antidote to the zombie virus.â They were already at this point. If he didnât try again, there really wouldnât be any hope left.
XunMi raised an eyebrow. So that was what they were after. She had been wondering why those old leeches had sent out so many troops. Unfortunately, they had been too late. But she did believe the majorâs news about the treasure.
This was a real place. From outside, no one could see in. However, those on the inside could see out. That could be explained away with by that treasure. It could have automatically activated a secret yet safe place. But she temporarily couldnât guess the motive behind all of this.
âThereâs isnât the thing that you want here.â XunMiâs clear voice carried sharp, unquestionable authority.
The majorâs heart hardened, realizing that his trip had been fruitless. He sighed, so many men with abilities had been wasted on this journey.
Although the major was able to see reality, others might still be unclear on who they could or could not provoke.
âWhy are you so sure? Who knows if you are trying to keep it to yourself?â
âThatâs right, we came from afar just to try to end this apocalypse. Do you not want the apocalypse to end sooner? What is your goal?â
