Chapter 127 Miracle
Lin Jia was an ordinary survivor in the safe zone of S City. She was fifteen years old this year. Before the apocalypse, she had just graduated from junior high school.
Her father awakened with a fire ability, so at the beginning of the apocalypse, their family was assigned to a decent house, which was also close to the center.
At first, their family had a good life. Her father often went out of the city and was always able to bring her and her mother a lot of food. While others couldn't eat meat, she still had chocolate as a snack.
But later, everything slowly changed.
She didn't know why, but her father suddenly started saying the apocalypse happened because the Dark God descended to the earth, and the earth would be covered in darkness sooner or later.
Originally, she would jokingly refute her father, saying there was no Dark God in the world. As a result, her father became angry and even slapped her.
It was the first time she had been hit. It was then that she realized that her father had changed.
However, her father did not think that he had changed. He often teamed up with others to kill zombies and do tasks. Sometimes he would be gone for several days. Every time he came back, he would be more supportive of the Dark God. Even Lin Jia's mother began to believe in the Dark God.
But Lin Jia disliked the Dark God more and more. After living in the apocalypse for a long time, she was no longer a materialist, but she didn't think that just believing in the Dark God could prevent her from turning into a zombie.
Maybe it was just to defy her father, but she just didn't believe it! She hated the Dark God!
Gradually, Lin Jia became an outlier. Fortunately, although her parents believed in the Dark God, they did not hand over their daughter as a heretic. At most, they kept nagging at her all day every day, trying to convert her.
Lin Jia agreed on the surface, but she felt even more disgusted in her heart.
But her parents became more and more convinced. They were afraid of the zombies outside and didn't want to become zombies or their food. They wanted to become oracles, even shadow guards.
"Although those shadow guards are stupid, their souls are with the Dark God, and their bodies can live forever. Isn't that great?" Lin Jia's mother said so, which frightened Lin Jia.
Lin Jia felt that her mother was crazy, but she found out there were many people who thought like her mother!
Many people lived in pain and felt that they couldn't survive. They felt that becoming a shadow guard was not so bad...
Her mother thought so, but her father was ambitious and even wanted to become a oracle.
However, the number of oracles were still very few because the transformation process was risky. Only those who had no family and had strong abilities could be chosen.
Since then, Lin Jia's father started to find her and her mother annoying. He often scolded them, but fortunately, he didn't go crazy like some others and kill his wife.
When Lin Jia recalled how her father used to care for her, she felt hopeless... But even if she was desperate, she couldn't do anything. She was a woman, and a minor without abilities. Even if she worked hard every day, she couldn't even film her stomach.
She still had to rely on her father to live. How could she oppose him?
Lin Jia didn't want to come to today's oracle handover ceremony, but her father had insisted, so she had come.
The blood-letting ceremony terrified her, and she was worried that she might experience the same thing someday. If believing in the Dark God could prevent this, should she just believe in the Dark God?
As she thought this, Lin Jia saw several helicopters arrive.
The people who came were from B City, and there were also some foreigners... When she saw them, Lin Jia couldn't help praying that these people would eliminate the cult.
However, the two sides did not fight as she expected.
Instead, they sat down and watched the ceremony.
Lin Jia was disappointed. She didn't want to watch the blood-letting anymore and wanted to leave quietly. Just at this moment, a dark teenager stood up among the crowd.
Lin Jia knew this teenager. Two days ago, he had stopped her and asked her where the inner city was.
His eyes were particularly bright, giving her a good impression. She had warned him not to go there...
Although this teenager appeared normal, after he stood up, he emanated white light!
Lin Jia was close to him and was touched by the white light. She felt her whole body relax, like a person who hadn't taken a bath for a month suddenly soaking in warm water.
Lin Jia couldn't comprehend the situation, but an unspoken fondness grew within her for the young man. However, her father's reaction was completely opposite. Filled with rage, he chased after the young man, driven by his desire to contribute to the cause of the Saintess and eliminate him.
Lin Jia tried to stop her father but couldn't. She watched helplessly as he ran to the stage and joined the shadow guards.
The situation frightened Lin Jia, and soon, something even more terrifying happened – a bomb was tossed near her father!
Lin Jia screamed, worried about her father's safety. After a while, her father slowly walked back to her.
"What was that white light?" Lin Jia heard her father ask. He had been injured by the bomb blast but his wounds had already healed.
"It's the power of light! It can purify the power of darkness," Lin Jia immediately answered. She had read many novels.
Lin Jia's father didn't say anything else, and the family continued to observe the stage.
On the stage, the oracles were gradually losing their advantage, and the shadow guards around the stage had to help. Worried, Lin Jia's father said, "I hope the Saintess is okay."
As his worries grew, the situation on the stage reversed. Dense black fog enveloped the entire stage, and the shadow guards and those cheering on the sidelines were all drawn in.
"I should have stayed there..." Lin Jia's father couldn't help but say.
Everyone around them at this point was kneeling on the ground, devoutly chanting "miracle." They believed that this was a miracle from the Dark God, consuming anyone who opposed the Dark God. Even the guy emitting the white light would surely die in the hands of the Dark God.
Lin Jia's hope dissipated again.
The dense black fog instilled fear deep within her, and unexpectedly, she found herself even subconsciously drawn to the idea of worshiping the Dark God too.
At that moment, something else happened!
A white light suddenly burst from within the black fog, dispersing the darkness with its immense power. The rising white light looked so holy, making the Dark God's "miracle" seem filthy in comparison.
It wasn't until that moment that they could finally see what was happening on the stage. The shadow guards were lying on the ground. The Saintess appeared injured, while the others seemed more or less the same.
"This is a miracle..."
Someone had just said that the black fog was a miracle, but now they felt that the white light was the real miracle.
Of course, after saying that, the person immediately shut their mouth, afraid the Dark God fanatics would target him.
However, no one came after him. Everyone was immersed in watching the stage, wanting to know what was happening there.
The white light dispersed the black fog, and the situation on the stage was puzzling – it appeared the invincible Saintess failed?
The shadow guards and oracles were scattered about the ground in the light. Was the white light really that powerful? Despite seeming so gentle, it gave people the feeling "I think the Dark God is trying to destroy the world. Only the God of Light can save us." Lin Jia supported her father up and whispered this.
Normally, this kind of talk would have caused her to be scolded by him, but this time, he didn't refute her – "Even with so many zombies outside, can we kill them all? Won't humans eventually turn into zombies too?"
"So, should we become like those zombies just because we can't kill them all?" Lin Jia retorted.
Many people suddenly had similar thoughts to Lin Jia's. The people who were originally kneeling down waiting to see the miracle were now confused, but of course, among them, there were also fanatic followers who shouted that they should kill the stinky kid with the white light on him.
Qi Jingchen and Nie Yi had no time to pay attention to the people watching them from afar as they fled the encirclement. They had their eyes set on the inner city, and Nie Yi, who was carrying Qi Jingchen on his back, was leading the way. Following behind him were several people from B City, carrying Nie Yi's friends on their backs.
Although Nie Yi's friends had all been healed, the cold air in which they were enclosed by Nie Yi's ice shield made them lose most of their mobility.
Behind them were the foreigners, S City people and the people from the small safe zones around S City Safe, including Shi Kun.
Shi Kun was carrying someone on his back, and it turned out to be Yu Xuguang... When he was running for his life, he remembered to carry Yu Xuguang on his back. But he didn't know if Yu Xuguang was dead or alive.
Only the shadow guards of the oracles and some trusted people lived in the inner city. Yao Mengzhi wouldn't allow anyone else inside. Because of this, Nie Yi and the others were able to run in without much obstruction.
Yao Mengzhi's face turned black when she saw this, as she had also considered that her black fog might not be able to stop Nie Yi and the others. So, she has arranged many people outside to guard the entire base, but she did not expect Nie Yi and the others to run towards the inner city instead...
As a wind power ability user, she could catch up. But now she had too few subordinates, and she did not dare to go alone... After all, she wanted to live a good life after her rebirth and didn't want to lose it.
In the end, Yao Mengzhi could only throw her dark ability towards the stragglers of the group.
Shi Kun was at the back, and he saw Yu Xuguang about to be hit by the dark fog. He sped up, relying on his short legs to overtake many people...
Luckily, his ability was wind power. As the son of the base leader who didn't need to fight in the front lines, he was very practiced at escapjng!
The group quickly arrived at the center of the inner city.
The two fortresses had many outward facing holes. It was evident that they had strong firepower, and it was impossible for anyone to sneak in quietly. But what about violently breaking through?
"All wind ability users, throw your bombs!" Nie Yi shouted loudly, even though they were still quite far from the fortress.
The people from B City had bombs with them. They whipped them out and threw them, hitting the front fortress directly with the wind power ability.
Although there weren't many people living in the inner city for maximal secrecy, there were still some people who discovered Nie Yi and the others early and planned to attack them. However, Nie Yi and the others suddenly dispersed and took out their weapons.
Speaking of which, Nie Yi and the others had some weapons but the foreigners had more! And more advanced weapons too!
Yao Mengzhi's fortress was built solidly, but it couldn't withstand so many bombs, and a hole was quickly created.
Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen were in sync with each other's thoughts and said in unison, "Let's go in!"
"Bastards!" Yao Mengzhi gritted her teeth and then changed her expression.
She had used all her knowledge to build these two fortresses in a way to ensure that nobody could sneak in. However, when the door was smashed open, those people inside the fortress...
She had set some traps inside, but those traps were effective against people trying to sneak in, not a group that chose to openly and violently breaking in.
She couldn't even use bombs to kill these people. There were many precious things inside these two fortresses, that she couldn't afford to destroy, let alone the fact that Chu Zhen was still inside...
"Saintess!" Many people came in from outside and respectfully called out to Yao Mengzhi.
"When you go inside, you must kill Nie Yi and the others for me!" Yao Mengzhi said.
At this time, Nie Yi and the others were discussing countermeasures.
"What should we do?" Shi Shiqing asked.
"Find the research lab! Find important researchers or important research data and take them hostage!" Nie Yi said. While speaking, he shot his ability and blew up the front door.
There were two explosions, one from Nie Yi's ability and the other from a mechanism under the door. The defense here was very tight... Nie Yi and the others were thinking this when they ran into a group of ability users.
Before, they had encountered many shadow guards and oracles, but it was the first time they had encountered ability users... A foreigner took out a grenade from his chest and threw it.
Seeing the people blocking their way being blown away, Nie Yi felt speechless. These foreigners were really wealthy. They seemed to be wearing thicker clothes, but in reality, they might as well be walking bombs!
It was quite impressive that they hadn't caused those explosives to detonate during the fight earlier. If they hadn't feared that grenades could be easily thrown back and hurt themselves, they would have probably ended up blowing up the stage.
The ability users didn't dare arbitrarily destroy the fortress, but Qi Jingchen and the others didn't care. They quickly killed the people, then continued inside.
People usually put the most valuable things in the middle, so that's where Qi Jingchen and the others went. As they encountered more and more people, they became more and more certain that there was something important inside this fortress.
They finally saw a very inconspicuous door. It was controlled by fingerprints and not easy to open. Even if they used violence, it would take a lot of effort, but they had many people...
With so many combined abilities the door blew up.
"Who is it?" A pleasant male voice sounded from inside.
Qi Jingchen and the others finally looked inside and were surprised to find that it wasn't the laboratory they imagined, but a very cozy suite. And in the suite was only one person, a man...
