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 XunMi’s hands fell to the floor. When they had been immersed in the golden light, she had felt as if someone was watching her. She hadn’t 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.

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.

“What just happened?” 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. “BaoBao, are you keeping anything from me?”

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 don’t know that much. The stuff that I do know, I can’t say. You haven’t 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?

“Someone’s coming.” 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 hadn’t 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. “If we can’t come to an agreement with them, then we can just tie them up and throw them out.” She wasn’t 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.

Hadn’t 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 didn’t have the courage to go up against these people. Even though he had more people, their power still couldn’t compare to the other side. He had no chose but to approach amicably.

“Leader Song, Miss Ming, Mr. Ling. We meet again! Where did Captain Ye go? I don’t see him around. ” The major said politely with a smile, hoping that they couldn’t 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.

“Why are you looking for boss?” Ling Chen’s face had darkened, his hands forming into fists.

The major was completely confused? What did he do wrong? Who can explain to him? “Um, I was just asking. I don’t mean anything, really.” No matter what the situation was, he should lower himself first.

Ling Chen nodded his head. “What are you doing here?”

“Uh, the previous scene was too astonishing. So we came to take a look. What..what about you three?” The major really wanted to die. He really wanted to give up. Miss Ming’s expression was too terrifying. He was too scared.

“Since you don’t have any business, you can leave now. As for us…we also felt that this was a place with good scenery. What? We can’t be here?” Ling Chen never tried to be soft-spoken. His boss was still missing, he didn’t have the time to play word games.

XunMi lightly looked through the group, before settling her gaze back to her tablet.

BaoBao said there wasn’t 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. “Actually, 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.” They were already at this point. If he didn’t try again, there really wouldn’t 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 major’s 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 couldn’t guess the motive behind all of this.

“There’s isn’t the thing that you want here.” XunMi’s clear voice carried sharp, unquestionable authority.

The major’s 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.

“Why are you so sure? Who knows if you are trying to keep it to yourself?”

“That’s 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?”
