314: power failure

“Take a younger brother?” Xu Feng glanced at this sentence from the System and directly ignored it.

He was surprised to know that Li Xiu’s admiration for him had reached 100%.

“It seems you’ve absorbed most of that potion to be able to kill so many parasites.” Xu Feng looked at the parasites on the street that had been dealt with by the Tang Sword, his tone slightly praising.

Li Xiu scratched his head: “I was reckless. If Teacher hadn’t come, I probably would have died.”

“So this is a lesson.” Xu Feng patted Li Xiu’s shoulder: “Live well.”

He didn’t say much, and there wasn’t much to say.

Leaving this sentence, Xu Feng and Hui Zhi turned and left.

Watching the two leave, Li Xiu suppressed the excitement in his heart.

The hero in his heart was not dead!

At this moment, he had a goal to pursue.

...

The Bug Mother died.

In M City, all the parasites instantly lost their vitality.

The entire M City suddenly became much quieter.

Xu Feng was also a little surprised that the Bug Mother was dealt with so smoothly.

But then he thought about it.

These bugs were originally meant to die in the original plot.

According to the System’s plot, the death of these parasites was the beginning of the apocalypse!

Apocalypse...

Thinking of this, Xu Feng felt the burden on his shoulders become much heavier.

Looking at Hui Zhi, who was still following beside him, he said with a hint of melancholy: “Now that things are resolved, why don’t you go back to your place?”

“amitabha…” Hui Zhi put his hands together: “Even if this City is saved, it is still insignificant to this World of suffering that resembles Hell.”

“This Monk believes that this place needs Buddha’s Dharma to guard the Human world.”

“You want to stay here?” Xu Feng looked at this young Monk, surprised.

Hui Zhi nodded slightly: “Benefactor, we part ways here.”

With that, the Monk bowed and then looked at the fork in the road on the other side, walking slowly away.

He did not return to his original World but chose to stay in this green hell!

“Very good.” Xu Feng was a little moved.

His desire to save the World was largely due to the System’s mission.

And this Monk was undoubtedly purer than him.

...

The next day.

In M County, after Xu Feng accompanied the Xu Xue sisters to visit their parents’ graves, he also booked train tickets to Z City.

On the bus to the station.

Xu Xue handed Xu Feng a stack of money.

Facing Xu Feng’s surprised gaze, Xu Xue smiled: “Returning your money.”

The woman’s eyes were still a little red and swollen, clearly not having gotten over the death of her parents.

“Keep it, it takes up space.” Xu Feng had no thoughts about this stack of money.

Leaving aside how much purchasing power it had, it really did take up space.

Seeing Xu Feng refuse, Xu Xue felt a warmth in her heart: “Take it, you’ve already resigned, you definitely need money now.”

Saying that, she directly put the money into Xu Feng’s hand.

At this point, Xu Feng didn’t say anything more.

She was already repaying a debt, and if he refused again, she might think he had other intentions.

The number of bullet train services from M City to surrounding cities increased significantly today.

The news of the parasites dying out had spread throughout M City and even the Dragon Country this morning.

Although the parasites were dead.

However, not many of the remaining ordinary people in M City dared to continue staying in this City!

Normally, a house where someone has died is called a haunted house.

And now, M City was full of corpses, even if there was no danger, it made people feel extremely unlucky.

Everyone wanted to leave this place.

It was precisely because of this that the bullet trains and traffic from M City to surrounding cities increased sharply.

The station.

The crowded people made it particularly noisy.

After finally arriving at the waiting hall, there wasn’t a single empty waiting seat.

Under the cool white light, the smell of disinfectant in the air was particularly strong.

“My calculation was correct, you’re here.” Suddenly, a woman’s voice appeared beside Xu Feng.

He shifted his gaze.

It was Nangong Shushuang.

“Are you also waiting for a train?” Xu Feng looked at the woman’s complexion.

After eating the Monk Hui Zhi’s Small Returning Pill, she had indeed fully recovered.

Nangong Shushuang paused, nodding slightly in agreement.

After a while, she continued: “You killed the Bug Mother, right?”

Xu Feng smiled and shook his head, neither confirming nor denying.

“Come to Kyoto with me, we need talents like you.” Nangong Shushuang was not one to beat around the bush and spoke directly.

Xu Feng: “My strength is only Two-star, there shouldn’t be few people like me in Kyoto, right?”

“You can contact Cultivators.” Nangong Shushuang stated the key point.

Clearly.

The Hui Zhi who appeared yesterday was also identified by her as a Cultivator.

“Moreover, currently, Two-star strength… is indeed not common throughout the Dragon Country.”

“Have you ever thought about what would happen if Cultivators were fake?” Xu Feng suddenly said to Nangong Shushuang.

Now, perhaps only he understood.

The so-called Cultivators were just a few words from the summoned character Ye Tian.

As for the consequences, Xu Feng also didn’t know whether the benefits outweighed the disadvantages or vice versa.

Nangong Shushuang stared at Xu Feng for a moment: “If Cultivators do not exist in this World, Humans will perish.”

The calm voice was like stating a fact.

Xu Feng slowly frowned: “Our Human weapons have developed to this extent now, if the apocalypse really comes, we wouldn’t end up perishing no matter what, right?”

Nangong Shushuang said without impatience: “Do you remember that A Man in the prison yesterday?”

“That Four-star creature?”

“It’s not just Four-star.” Nangong Shushuang took a deep breath: “Yesterday I extracted its gene sequence and found that it was not a single, individual life form.”

“That A Man originally died and was then completely transformed by a type of fungal organism.”

“He was parasitized by a fungus?” Xu Feng subconsciously thought of the zombie fungi in nature.

In the past, this type of fungus would not pose much of a threat to Humans, but now, due to the intervention of dark matter, anything was possible.

Nangong Shushuang directly overturned Xu Feng’s guess.

“Not parasitism, but reshaping!”

“That A Man was completely transformed from the inside out by a certain fungal plant.”

Speaking of this, Nangong Shushuang also stated the conclusion she reached overnight: “And it can be confirmed that the fungal plant that transformed that A Man is only a small part of that individual.”

“In short, that A Man is a Clone of a certain fungal plant.”

“A Clone has Four-star strength?” At this moment, Xu Feng also realized the seriousness of the problem.

“It is indeed tricky, if our Human Cultivators hadn’t appeared, this terrifying fungal plant would definitely not have been exposed so early.”

Exhaling a stifled breath, Nangong Shushuang looked at Xu Feng: “Fortunately, we have Cultivators.”

Xu Feng: ...

“The train to Kyoto is coming.” Xu Feng gestured at the time.

Nangong Shushuang picked up the suitcase beside her and gestured to Xu Feng and the Xu Xue sisters: “Let’s go.”

As her gaze swept over the two sisters, her eyes also lit up slightly.

With her unique insight, she could naturally tell that the two sisters had already become Evolvers.

Xu Feng’s answer surprised Nangong Shushuang.

“Why?”

“I have my own plans.” Xu Feng had long planned to build an apocalypse survival base.

If he went to Kyoto, there would definitely be people who opposed and people who supported.

Time was tight now, and he didn’t have time to wait for others to support or oppose.

After learning of Xu Feng’s attitude, Nangong Shushuang temporarily stopped in place.

“The G314178 train to Kyoto has arrived…”

The broadcast sounded.

Nangong Shushuang still stood in place.

It was clear that she really wanted to take Xu Feng with her, but she wasn’t good at persuading people.

“Buzz buzz buzz~”

Just then.

The originally bright waiting hall suddenly dimmed.

The lights overhead were gone.

“The power is out.” Someone suddenly said.

“How can the bullet train station have a power outage?!”

“Beep beep beep~”

Beside Nangong Shushuang, her telephone rang.

She answered the incoming call.

A minute later, Nangong Shushuang’s expression became extremely serious.

“What’s wrong?” Noticing the abnormality, Xu Feng asked.

Nangong Shushuang: “The power is out.”

Xu Feng was silent for a moment: “Obviously.”

“Something happened at the nuclear power plant.” Nangong Shushuang put down her telephone and said to Xu Feng: “It’s only a hundred kilometers from M City.”
