#193 - Cannot be looked at directly and cannot be destroyed
“Be careful of those ability users who joined the shelter within the last twenty days!”
Zhao Zheng suddenly reminded, “I suggest you clear them all out of the shelter after twelve o'clock tonight.”
“Oh? Why is that?” Chen Wu asked curiously.
“To tell you the truth! We are actually people from another world. Including the ability users who appeared in the last twenty days, they are all with us. After twelve o'clock tonight, our identities will be discovered by some incomprehensible existence. At that time, the pupils of those ability users, including mine, will turn red...”
In this world, the timeline resets and returns to the starting point every time a new batch enters.
Therefore, Chen Wu doesn't know about the information regarding transcendents. He also doesn't know that countless versions of him have been terribly harmed by transcendents, with tens of thousands of people in the shelter, including him, all dying tragically.
Zhao Zheng gave the reminder because he didn't want the Chen Wu in front of him to follow in the footsteps of those unlucky “Chen Wus.”
After all, Chen Wu's character is quite good.
Chen Wu's character is not Zhao Zheng's personal analysis, but a consensus among many transcendent seniors that he is good.
This guy is an idealist who truly wants to build a last home for humanity in the apocalyptic environment, protecting the spark of human civilization.
Unlike the shelter in Jing City!
The Jing City shelter is much larger than the Hancheng shelter, and its resource reserves are very sufficient. It is said that it is built very luxuriously inside.
Unfortunately, that shelter is full of powerful and influential people, and it does not take in other survivors at all…
Zhao Zheng is willing to remind Chen Wu, in addition to Chen Wu's character, there is another reason!
That is, this world, like the fourth level of the Spirit Realm, is also periodic.
He and Song Haitang will come in later!
Making a good connection now may be useful when they come in next time.
“There's such a thing?” Chen Wu was shocked, and then hurriedly asked, “What world are you from? Can the survivors here go to your world?”
Zhao Zheng shook his head: “No, we were teleported here by a mysterious force, and we know nothing about that force. Besides, our world is not safe either. Going there may not be a good thing.”
Hearing this, Chen Wu was a little disappointed, and then returned to the topic: “You just said that after twelve o'clock tonight, the pupils of all of you will turn red? Then what?”
“Then, we will be targeted by a large number of monsters, including the strange ones! They will chase and kill us at all costs. If you continue to take in those people, it will definitely bring great disaster to you and the shelter!”
Chen Wu was shocked!
The Hancheng shelter was built by him and many like-minded people with great effort. If it really attracts a large number of monsters and destroys his shelter, it would be more uncomfortable than killing him.
“No wonder many of those ability users were 'blind' when they joined the shelter. It turns out they were pretending!”
Chen Wu said with a solemn expression: “Thank you for the reminder.”
Regarding the method of pretending to be blind to deceive the shelter, Zhao Zheng heard Lao Chu say that many survivors have done this, and they really got away with it in the end, which was a disaster for the shelter.
Chen Wu is also a smart person, and asked curiously: “You don't want those ability users to know of your existence?”
Zhao Zheng smiled and nodded: “That's pretty much what I mean.”
“I understand.” Chen Wu agreed readily: “Of course, that's no problem. Originally, when the shelter receives new members, they must be placed in an isolation room for 24 hours for observation, and a blood test is performed on them. This is to worry that someone will bring infectious diseases into the shelter.”
“Then there's no problem.”
Zhao Zheng said: “My friend and I will leave now, and these people are left to you.”
“So urgent?” Chen Wu said in surprise: “Why not stay for dinner at least?”
Zhao Zheng shook his head: “There's not much time. I want to meet other strange things. After twelve o'clock tonight, it won't be so convenient to do this.”
After twelve o'clock.
They will usher in the pursuit of monsters.
“I understand.” Chen Wu heard this, and then no longer insisted, and stretched out his hand to Zhao Zheng: “Then I wish you a good journey.”
Zhao Zheng also stretched out his hand and said: “I hope there will be a chance to meet again!”
The two shook hands.
Zhao Zheng was about to call Song Haitang to leave when he suddenly seemed to remember something…
“Oh, by the way, there's one more small thing!”
He said: “Before, someone on my side sold my information to the shelter, right? Although we became friends through fighting, I cannot tolerate their betrayal.”
“I understand!” Chen Wu nodded, and said with a serious expression: “I personally also hate this kind of ungrateful and selfish thing!”
So, those few unlucky guys were publicly read out their crimes by Chen Wu, and then executed on the spot!!
The other survivors were all shocked.
What shocked them even more was that they had already arrived at the entrance of the Hancheng shelter, but Captain Song and her friend were actually going to leave the team and choose to leave…
Many survivors felt puzzled about the departure of the two.
Han Minna and Han Yingying were full of reluctance.
“Sister Jiuyue, will we be able to see you again?”
“Yes!” Song Haitang said with a smile: “We will meet again in a year…”
… …
After leaving the team.
Zhao Zheng took Song Haitang and flew to the rooftop of a building.
Although the cold wind was howling here, and the cold was biting.
However, both of them are not afraid of the cold.
Not to mention Zhao Zheng, his current physical fitness can be immune unless it is extreme weather and environment.
Not to mention Song Haitang, with the ability of the Flare-Flare Fruit, she is not afraid of hot and cold environments at all.
She is almost immune to heat.
Cold?
Releasing a little Flare-Flare Fruit ability can quickly raise body temperature and dispel the cold.
Afterwards, Zhao Zheng opened the strange information that Chen Wu gave him.
There are a total of nine strange domains in the country. After removing the one along the coast that Zhao Zheng killed, there are now eight left.
Zhao Zheng's eyes lit up just after looking at it for a moment.
Because the information recorded an important piece of information: those monsters are very afraid of the strange, including the strange ones, and they will not set foot on the territory of other strange ones.
That is to say, in the domain of the strange, other monsters and strange ones will not appear.
Although this information is just a speculation made by researchers based on the information collected. But it is very useful to Zhao Zheng.
As long as his deduction was correct, he could fully exploit this point and easily spend this Spirit Realm instance with Song Haitang, and obtain the highest mission evaluation!
Subsequently.
Zhao Zheng began to examine the information of the eight anomalies, and quickly identified the target of "Parasitism"!
It was an extremely huge anomaly, with a body length exceeding one hundred meters, shaped like a giant octopus.
This anomaly was the first to appear, the first to emerge in this world after the disaster struck.
It possessed the characteristic of being "Unseeable". Almost immediately upon its appearance, it destroyed a city with a population of over ten million, with only a handful of people escaping with their lives.
And those who survived were all psychic ability users with strong mental fortitude and unwavering will!
According to the accounts of those psychic ability users, all the citizens in the city who saw the anomaly had their brains instantly turned into mush, many becoming the anomaly's familiars, and even more directly dying with blood flowing from all seven orifices…
Those psychic ability users who escaped were barely able to remain conscious, but they also felt a splitting headache, a living hell, as if their consciousness was about to be devoured by a terrifying existence.
It was only after leaving the range of the anomaly's domain that they returned to normal!
That city has now completely become a dead city!
No living creature dares to approach.
In addition to this, the giant octopus anomaly also possessed the characteristic of immortality.
After it appeared and watched as a large city turned into a dead city, the higher-ups immediately and unhesitatingly ordered the launch of nuclear weapons.
The result…
Under the attack of nuclear weapons, the anomaly was indeed "dead", its body blasted into more than half.
However, after only a week, it completely recovered, impossible to kill at all…
"It's you then!!"
Zhao Zheng suddenly revealed a smile.
Since those psychic ability users with weak strength three years ago could withstand the anomaly's mental impact, there was no reason why he couldn't now.
As for Song Haitang, there was even less to worry about.
Because the girl's mental strength was astonishingly strong!
Zhao Zheng planned to bring Song Haitang to the domain of the giant octopus anomaly to spend the time requirement for the SSS-level mission evaluation.
Of course, his arrival would definitely attract the anomaly's pursuit.
But Zhao Zheng had confidence in his own strength!
In addition, the giant octopus anomaly's "immortal body" was even better for Zhao Zheng. Killing it once would bring a week of peace, wouldn't killing it several times do the trick?
After reading all the anomaly's information, Zhao Zheng stood up.
"Haitang, let's go!"
Song Haitang nodded and grabbed Zhao Zheng's arm.
She didn't ask where Zhao Zheng was taking her, nor did she worry.
Under Zhao Zheng's lead, the two soared into the sky and flew directly.
An hour and a half later.
Zhao Zheng and Song Haitang saw that "dead city"!
At this time, the entire city was enveloped in a thick fog, making it impossible to see anything inside the city area.
It was precisely because of this that, in the eerie atmosphere, this dead city appeared even more terrifying!
When Zhao Zheng brought Song Haitang to the edge above the city, his "Transcendent Senses" immediately gave a warning.
Fortunately!
The warning was not strong!
This indicated that the things inside the city were not strong enough to pose a threat to him.
Without saying a word, Zhao Zheng took Song Haitang and rushed into the dead city shrouded in mist.
"Whoosh!"
Song Haitang felt the air currents rushing past her ears.
The next moment.
Her vision suddenly cleared.
The mist only surrounded a circle outside the city, not inside.
This was indeed a dead city. Almost nothing that moved could be seen, and because of the thick fog, the light here was even darker. Even though it was still daytime, it was like night.
Fortunately, both Song Haitang and Zhao Zheng had good eyesight, allowing them to barely make out some things.
And the arrival of the two seemed to have alarmed something.
Suddenly.
A rumble came from the right.
A behemoth began to move.
Zhao Zheng and Song Haitang immediately looked over there.
The first time they saw the behemoth, they felt their mental consciousness being subjected to an unknown impact, and their brains even felt a stabbing pain.
It was as if something was affecting their consciousness, and the negative emotions in their hearts were being stimulated…
Fortunately, the intensity of this impact was not strong, and both of them could withstand it.
Zhao Zheng brought Song Haitang, instead of escaping, rushed towards the anomaly.
On the way.
He left Song Haitang on the rooftop of a skyscraper, while he quickly rushed towards the anomaly.
At this time, Zhao Zheng was already able to clearly see the appearance of the giant anomaly.
Its entire body was covered with tentacles, indeed like a giant octopus!
Without saying a word, Zhao Zheng rushed over and threw a punch!!
This was his full-strength punch!
"Crack!"
The Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability erupted completely!
The void shattered!
The entire city trembled because of it!!
"Ooo—"
Taking this terrifying punch head-on, the giant octopus-like anomaly let out a deafening sound and crashed to the ground!
Dead!!
Killed by Zhao Zheng with one punch!
Although the anomaly was dead, its domain did not dissipate.
"As expected, it has an immortal body!"
Zhao Zheng smiled faintly.
Immortality was even better.
The next few days should be peaceful.
Zhao Zheng returned to Song Haitang's side and said, "Let's rest here! Let's find a cleaner place."
Song Haitang nodded and asked curiously, "What exactly is an anomaly? Why does this anomaly still have the characteristic of being 'Unseeable' even though it has completely lost its vitality? What is the principle behind the immortal body?"
On the way, Song Haitang learned about Zhao Zheng's plan and the information about the anomaly from Zhao Zheng.
Of course, she wholeheartedly agreed with Zhao Zheng's plan.
"We definitely can't figure these things out with our current strength and realm." Zhao Zheng said with a smile, "However, I believe that as long as we continue to become stronger, one day we will understand."
Song Haitang nodded and didn't dwell on it anymore.
The two found a five-star hotel and flew directly into the top-floor presidential suite.
Song Haitang began to clean up, after all, no one had been here for three years, and there was a lot of dust in the room.
Zhao Zheng stood by the window, looking outside.
From his angle, he could see the huge sinkhole in the distance.
It was the giant pit blasted out by the nuclear explosion!
Everything around the giant pit was almost completely destroyed.
Including this five-star hotel, although it was more than ten kilometers away, the glass was almost shattered. Only a few presidential suites used very high-quality tempered glass, which survived.
After Song Haitang finished cleaning up, the sky was even darker.
This indicated that it was already dark outside.
Zhao Zheng took out food and fire-starting equipment from the dimensional space, and in the room, started a barbecue party with Song Haitang…
…
