84: Chapter 84 Heading to the Origin of the Cataclysm Under Night! Encountering a Heavy Armored Brigade at the Highway Exit!

"Where did you learn this magic trick, kid? You've made it look quite convincing!"

Dr. Zhang regained his composure. Still not believing Xiao Feng's ghostly trickery, he stood up from the sofa, intending to grab the tissue box.

Xiao Feng, feeling playful, controlled the tissue box through the air with his fingers, making it dance around the coffee table and refusing to let Dr. Zhang catch it.

Dr. Zhang was left looking crestfallen, yet he remained convinced that this kid, Xiao Feng, was merely performing a magic trick!

He walked past the coffee table and turned on all the spotlights in the living room.

Under the harsh glare of the lights, the living room was illuminated as if it were broad daylight.

Dr. Zhang smiled triumphantly and turned around, ready to expose Xiao Feng's "little trick"!

However, his wife nearby exclaimed, "It's real!"

"It's actually flying in mid-air!"

"There are no wires supporting it!!"

Turning around, he saw his wife examining the tissue box that was floating in mid-air, touching it from all sides, her expression filled with incredulous shock!

Seeing this, Dr. Zhang's pupils constricted. A shocking guess suddenly surfaced in his mind, "Could the end of the world really be coming? And has this kid, Xiao Feng, experienced an Awakening of some kind of supernatural ability?"

Combining Xiao Feng's ability to escape the steel-barred defenses of [Qingshan Mental Hospital] with the eerie scene of the tissue box having no supporting wires, this thought in Dr. Zhang's mind grew increasingly intense!

His face turned somewhat pale, and his body trembled slightly.

As an ordinary person with a happy and fulfilled family, he no longer had the hot-blooded courage of his youth.

His only wish in this life was for his family to be safe and healthy, and for his child to grow up smoothly.

The arrival of the end of the world would be tantamount to shattering this ordinary life, making everything bloody and uncontrollable!

This was undoubtedly the last thing he wanted to see!

"Hoo—"

Dr. Zhang adjusted his glasses and took a deep breath.

Walking up to the floating tissue box, after confirming it once more, his expression turned grave to the extreme. He looked at Xiao Feng, who was half-lying on the sofa, and asked, "Xiao Feng, is what you said true? Where did you get the idea that the end of the world is coming?"

"Where did I know it from?" Xiao Feng was stunned, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

He thought for a while, then said in surprise, "Isn't that what you said, Dr. Zhang?"

"...Damn it!"

Dr. Zhang couldn't hold it together; forgetting his professional demeanor, he blurted out a swear word on the spot.

After a long while, he recovered from his speechlessness and, using as calm a tone as possible, asked again, "Let's not talk about the apocalypse. Where did you get this 'superpower' of yours?"

"Dr. Zhang, does that even need asking? It was in a dream, of course!"

Xiao Feng looked at him with disdain, his gaze as if he were looking at a mental patient.

Dr. Zhang felt slighted by Xiao Feng's gaze, but he had no evidence.

He could only suppress his temper and say, "Then why do you want to go to Xiangnan?"

"I don't know." Xiao Feng shook his head, a strange luster flashing in his deep-set eye sockets, and added, "But I can deduce that a massive change will soon occur in Xiangnan, and the origin of the apocalypse's outbreak is right there in Xiangnan!"

"If Xiangnan is the origin of the apocalypse, shouldn't we stay far away and flee north or east?"

As Dr. Zhang frowned in deep thought, his wife sat back down on the plastic stool and asked in confusion.

"No! Only by facing the crisis head-on can we be the first to step into the extraordinary, thereby staying ahead at every step and turning a desperate situation into an opportunity to rise with the wind!"

Xiao Feng's eyes were piercing, as if he could see through the future path of fate.

He spoke eloquently in front of them, making Dr. Zhang wonder if he had truly misjudged the situation—did this kid really not have a mental illness??

"...Xiao Feng, how strong is your superpower exactly? Can you demonstrate it again?"

After pondering for a long time, Dr. Zhang felt that reality had changed, becoming both familiar and strange!

For the sake of future plans, he still harbored a sliver of fantasy in his heart, wanting to see if Xiao Feng's superpower had any "loopholes"?

Whoosh. Under their shocked gazes, Xiao Feng curled the corner of his mouth. With a slight lift of his finger, he and his wife floated up into thin air, their feet rising above the coffee table, hanging silently in the middle of the living room!

"Gulp—" Dr. Zhang's throat moved as he swallowed. With a trembling voice, he said to Xiao Feng, "Xiao Feng, that's enough. Please put me and your aunt down slowly!"

Thump. As his feet hit the ground and he felt the solid sensation of the white floor tiles, Dr. Zhang felt for a moment that the world was so unreal!

Everything he had just experienced still felt like he was in a dream!

"Honey, how about we listen to Xiao Feng? Let's take the child and go to Xiangnan. If nothing happens, we can just treat it as a vacation."

"Besides, I haven't been back to my parents' home in a long time. It's a good chance to go back to Xiangnan for a while."

The aunt had a better capacity for acceptance than Dr. Zhang. After experiencing her body floating in mid-air, she believed Xiao Feng's words, believing that the world was truly about to face major problems!

Even if it wasn't the end of the world, it was a "cataclysm" far beyond ordinary human comprehension!

Although she, as a housewife, didn't understand some of what Xiao Feng said, she understood one principle: in the face of great change, the whole family must work together to survive the crisis!

"Alright, then let's go back to Xiangnan!"

"And no need to delay. I think sooner is better than later. Pack your things now, hold the child, and we'll head back to our hometown in Xiangnan under the cover of night!"

"Okay, I'll go pack!" After saying this, the aunt went back to the bedroom to pack light luggage.

She didn't pack many clothes, taking only money and some valuables. Additionally, she packed some food and water for the road in a large bag.

"Xiao Feng, thank you. If it weren't for you, our family might have had a hard time surviving the cataclysm."

While his wife was packing, Dr. Zhang stood by the coffee table, his mouth moving as he expressed his gratitude to Xiao Feng, who was half-lying on the sofa.

Although the cataclysm had not yet descended, Xiao Feng's words had undoubtedly been verified. Knowing about this global crisis in advance meant having hope for survival!

"Tch—"

"Dr. Zhang, don't get sentimental with me."

"I'm only being kind enough to pull you along because you've had a mental illness for many years. Otherwise, because of your misdiagnosis, others might mistake the situation and actually think I'm the one with a mental illness!"

Xiao Feng pulled out a toothpick, picked his teeth, and said with a curl of his lip.

"..." Dr. Zhang was speechless. This kid was spouting nonsense; had he actually misdiagnosed him? However, now was not the time to investigate that question.

"I'm packed. The child is asleep. You carry the luggage, let's go."

His wife placed several large bags in the living room. Two minutes later, holding an infant of about one year old, she said softly to Dr. Zhang.

"Mm, let's go." Immediately, Dr. Zhang and Xiao Feng each shouldered several large bags and walked down the old staircase toward the open space of the residential parking lot.

Don't be fooled by Xiao Feng's scrawny appearance; he didn't have an ounce of fat on him, but this guy was incredibly strong!

Carrying several large bags, he moved swiftly, not affected in the slightest. In contrast, Dr. Zhang, who had been sitting in consultations for a long time and lacked the energy to exercise, struggled a bit while carrying the bags, beads of sweat covering his forehead.

Of course, as a man, especially with the cataclysm approaching, he naturally wouldn't utter a single sound of complaint.

Bang! The group arrived at the parking lot and loaded the luggage into the fairly spacious SUV. Dr. Zhang started the vehicle, carrying Xiao Feng, his wife, and the child, and slowly drove toward the nearby highway.

It was nearly one in the morning.

They had assumed there wouldn't be many people and that they could get on the highway quickly. Instead, they were blocked at the highway entrance!

Bang, bang, bang. A man in military uniform wearing a reflective vest, who was directing traffic, walked over and knocked on the car window a few times.

Dr. Zhang immediately rolled down the window. The military man scanned the inside of the car with a sharp gaze. Seeing no issues, he saluted and said, "Comrade, special vehicles are passing ahead. Please wait patiently for a moment!"

"Good... good, no problem!"

The military man left with a rigid posture, continuing to direct the passage of the special vehicles.

Closing the window tightly, Dr. Zhang looked in amazement at the long convoy of hundreds of vehicles!

Besides the tanks, artillery, and other heavy weapons carried on the camouflage-green special semi-trailers, there were also long-range missile vehicles that looked like giant beasts!

And inside those trucks covered with cloth canopies, one could clearly see, albeit vaguely, personnel sitting inside fully armed with live ammunition!

"My goodness, this must be a heavy combined arms brigade?!"

"With this scene of fully armed personnel, what are they planning to do?"

"This highway leads to the south; could it be that they are also going to Xiangnan?"

Dr. Zhang's eyes widened, and he exclaimed repeatedly.

If this were in the past, he naturally wouldn't think much of it, but after Xiao Feng said that Xiangnan would be the origin of the cataclysm, he couldn't help but think about it!

Could it be that the higher-ups also knew about this shocking secret in advance?

Was this mobilization of troops to quell the coming unrest, or was there another plan?
