Chapter 179: Chapter 179: A Real Threat

While Bai Yinyin was fuming, Leng Pan and her family went back into the Lu apartment. The atmosphere there was calm after the tension brought by the confrontation with Bai Yinyin.

Leng Pan sat beside Lu Zhen on the couch, her head resting against his shoulder.

After her confrontation with Bai Yinyin, she felt relieved and a sense of clarity followed.

Just as Uncle Li was pouring celebratory tea and Lu Tao was bragging about his tactical genius in ’emotional warfare,’ a subtle vibration came from Leng Pan’s wrist.

Even though the jade bangle had disappeared when it recognized her as its master and only a small mole remained, it seemed that its reaction can still be felt.

Leng Pan glanced at Lu Zhen, who immediately noticed the small shift in her posture.

“What is it Baby?” he whispered under his breath, his voice barely audible to the others.

“Something happened. Let’s go through our place first.” Leng Pan replied while standing up and heading towards the door.

“We need some air.” Lu Zhen came up with an excuse as he followed his wife out.

The people left in the living room didn’t say anything as they had noticed how Leng Pan left as if something urgent had happened.

However, if the couple didn’t want to talk about it, they couldn’t force them.

Moreover, one could tell that it’s a sensitive topic for them to need to keep it from their family.

Lu Zhen followed his wife without a word, both of them stepping out onto the quiet corridor, then entered their shared apartment.

“Baby, what just happened?” Lu Zhen asked as soon as they were in their territory.

However, Leng Pan was still worried about someone listening to their conversation whether intentionally or unintentionally and decided to take both of them into the space.

As soon as they arrived in the living room within the space, Leng Pan answered Lu Zhen’s question.

“Something happened with the jade bangle. For some reason, it reacted without me doing anything.” This was the first time something like that had happened, which was why Leng Pan had panicked.

She thought that something had gone wrong.

“Do you know what happened?” Lu Zhen asked.

“I don’t, let’s go outside and check how the space looks.” Leng Pan replied while walking towards the door of the high-tech mansion.

Outside, the place seemed to have undergone some changes. Not very obvious, but the changes could be seen and felt.

For instance, the patch of grass on the garden now resembled real grass with a green dark color.

The suns in the sky was no longer as crimson as before, but the color has faded to almost resemble a moon.

Some lush trees had also appeared a little further from the mansion and amidst the trees was a fog that seemed to be hiding secrets.

There was a shadow inside the fog that looked like a human.

Suddenly, a voice came from the shadow, “Commander Leng, you have begun your awakening. The process might be a little longer or shorter depending on your abilities.

Also, this space you have activated is more than just a place to store weather. It is precious, guard it. It connects the threads of fate, but unfortunately, when that happens, others will notice as well.”

Hearing this explanation, both Leng Pan and Lu Zhen were surprised.

“Who are you?” Leng Pan asked.

“No one important.” The figure in the fog replied.

“Then why did the bangle react that way now? Why not before?”

“Because there are people who have started hunting unique artifacts like this bangle.

There are not many, but people are starting to remember things they should not.

You have to be more careful. Before you remember everything, do not expose yourself.” The voice coming from the fog instructed.

“Okay, we will be more careful then. Don’t worry.” Leng Pan promised because she could tell that the figure in the fog meant well.

“Three seas remain in the world. If they fall into the wrong hands, this world will not just be rewritten again. It might end completely, and the next time, you might not awaken at all.”

“Then tell me what to do.” Leng Pan said with her fists clenched.

However, both the fog and the figure inside it faded until it disappeared without another word.

After the fog faded and the space returned to its tranquility, Leng Pan and Lu Zhen looked at each other for a long time before going back into the mansion.

Sitting in the living room, they both had different thoughts in their heads but we’re worrying about the same thing.

“Do you think some of the people looking for the three so-called seals include the group sent by the domineering commander of the Dominion squad?” Leng Pan broke the silence first and asked Lu Zhen this question.

“It is possible. From how that person had been looking for that meteorite like crazy, it seemed that they knew something that others didn’t.

He should be one of those individuals the voice said were remembering things they shouldn’t.” Lu Zhen replied to his wife while thinking of the best way to protect her.

He felt that she might be in danger since that voice decided to warn them now.

He didn’t believe in coincidences and felt that there must be a reason for that warning to come now.

They had to hurry up to that lab and find out what was inside. He had a feeling that one of the seals mentioned might have something to do with the lab.

“We should urge Lu Tao to make those come quickly.

It seems like we need to leave soon. We also have to make sure that we can come back before the expected extreme cold arrives.” Lu Zhen advised and Leng Pan felt that it made sense.

“Alright then. Let’s go have dinner with the rest so that they don’t worry.” Leng Pan agreed and the two left the space and appeared in their apartment.

The family sat down for dinner and the other members could feel that something was different with the two lovers.

They understood the two and knew that something that wasn’t convenient to say might have happened.

However, since they felt that talking about it was not okay, then the others remained silent as if clueless.

However, both Leng Pan and Lu Zhen knew that their family members were smart and must have realized something.

Nonetheless, now more than ever they couldn’t talk about it. They didn’t know if some of the people who had remembered some things or were looking for things were already nearby.

“How did your day go?” Mother Lu asked once they were done with dinner and sat in the living room to drink tea.

“It was fun. We went to the amusement park. The only difference was that it was not crowded, filled with the smell of a mixture of sweat, perfumes, and other unique scents that make the atmosphere chaotic.” Leng Pan replied with a smile on her face.

She was happy about her date that day. Not even the events of that evening could dampen that memory.

Moreover, she and Lu Zhen had come completely clean and now held absolutely no secrets at all.

They could now bare their thoughts to each other at any time without worrying about slipping and saying something one should not.

“That’s good if you enjoyed it. Were there no zombies there? I am starting to think that this world no longer belongs to humans.

The population of zombies is somehow becoming larger.” Li Yunjia asked about the situation at the park but also expressed her concern about the current world.

“There weren’t many zombies. But it is indeed true that at the moment it seems that you meet more zombies than humans.

Also, more humans will still fall victim and turn to zombies later on. So, the human population will continue to dwindle if nothing is done.

But for the time being, we can’t even protect ourselves, we have to wait until we are strong enough to contend with some established forces.” Leng Pan felt that the world was experiencing more than just the mutation of humans and animals into zombies.

Especially after what that voice in the space had said, she didn’t believe that there was not more to the apocalypse than it seemed on the surface.

However, she couldn’t exactly tell her thoughts in public because she was worried about being heard and given trouble if some government organization heard them.

“Lu Tao, have you made any progress with those communication devices?” Leng Pan thought of what Lu Zhen had said and asked.

“Yes, they will be done in the next two days. Don’t worry about it, sister-in-law.” Lu Tao was proud once it came to his skills.

His skills keep improving with every increase in his superpowers. He kept wondering how hacking and development skills were related to his super vision and super hearing. But he hadn’t been able to understand. However, he didn’t think it mattered at all. As long as he had the skills.
