Chapter 130: Chapter 121: The Found Apocalypse Survivor_1

Driving a small van, Zheng Yichen hummed some tunes, the names of which he couldn’t even recall himself. As he had gradually solved the moving anomalies, he too felt relief. As for how to deal with the last giant serpent, he’d worry about that later—there was still plenty of time, after all.

Dusk Cathedral, Zheng Yichen kept moving things out of the van, only to be told that his storage space was already full.

"...There’s such a thing?"

"This is a storage space, not a warehouse," the younger sister emphasized to Zheng Yichen.

"Then, is there a possibility of getting a warehouse?"

"You can open a separate room. One merit point can preserve it for ten years."

"How big is the room?" Zheng Yichen asked with genuine interest.

"Two hundred square meters."

He was somewhat tempted. Before the transmigration, a two hundred square meter house... apart from those with their homestead land, it would typically take a lifetime of work to get one.

But here, just one insignificant merit point was enough to open it for ten years? One merit point for one million, one million to rent a room that might not even be fully used in ten years... Tempting, my foot!

"Is there a common area charge?"

"No."

"Then I’ll take one," said Zheng Yichen after some thought. He reckoned he might produce even more stuff in the future. Since he could have his room, it would be okay to use it. He couldn’t always stay in the church, could he?

Looking at the bare room with nothing in it, a room large enough to play basketball, without any load-bearing walls around, he couldn’t help but ask, "Can the design here be freely customized?"

"You’re free to add materials and design."

"You guys are really lazy!"

Prioress Tia glanced at the room’s door, conveying the idea that having a door was already pretty good. Zheng Yichen grumbled as he moved his spoils of war into the place, considering some cardboard might take care of a three-bedroom, two-hall layout in the future.

He now had 3 merit points left. These things didn’t seem to be of much use at the moment, but at other times, they appeared quite valuable.

"I’ve realized being a Proxy Agent seems to be quite good. In the future, I definitely won’t lack money," Zheng Yichen remarked as he looked around the room at the piles of items. Some other items were difficult to handle, but gold seemed to be accepted in many places.

As long as there hadn’t been any major gold-related incidents in the area recently, it was like this in Hazy City too.

"Then you can continue to work hard."

"..." Zheng Yichen rolled his eyes, "Is there anything here that can resist poison? You know, something really powerful, even immune to toxin attacks?"

"No," Prioress Tia gave a very definitive answer and even closed off Zheng Yichen’s way out, "The bait is based on your own conditions."

Alright then, since there wasn’t anything for combating poison, he would just go and pet the dogs directly. The two dogs he had brought back before were living well, not even leashed, and even went off themselves to dig a hole to relieve themselves when needed.

Did Dusk Cathedral have particularly unique experiences with raising dogs?

When they saw Zheng Yichen again, the two dogs were ecstatic, circling around him and feasting on the dog food he’d opened.

After having fun, they found a spot at the entrance of the cathedral to curl up and sleep. Maybe these two dogs were the luckiest in the apocalypse?

As he thought this, Zheng Yichen heard the sound of engines. He saw several vehicles approaching in the distance.

Zheng Yichen even saw some familiar faces.

Liu Haipeng and his group were clearly among them, prompting him to raise an eyebrow. He had considered that people who knew about Dusk Cathedral might come looking, but this seemed a bit hasty, didn’t it?

"Captain, we’ve found Dusk Cathedral!" In the convoy, a member put down his binoculars, grabbed the radio, and shouted excitedly.

Sitting inside the vehicle, Liu Haipeng’s eyes widened, "I can see it."

Dusk Cathedral, a place Zheng Yichen had mentioned before. They hadn’t had the time to search for it previously, but after they had digested some gains from the Alien Phenomenon Remnant Zone, they had the energy to look for Dusk Cathedral. As for the second Alien Phenomenon Remnant Zone, they were still in the ’search’ phase.

Other survivors of the apocalypse had also found that place. They even had some conflicts, but since the Remnant Zone wasn’t small, they had since settled into a relatively peaceful coexistence after the conflicts.

As for the remnant zone they occupied, they also encountered some post-apocalyptic survivors. However, those groups were small, and if they were suitable, they would be absorbed; otherwise, anyone with ulterior motives would be dealt with directly.

Zombie Evolvers were also encountered, but their new settlement was now of a different strength than before; even when facing those large mutant creatures, they could take them down.

The Evolvers in the settlement had greatly enhanced their strength. More importantly, after the robot they brought back received secondary authorization, it continued to operate according to its established program, but when it came to teaching, it was just like a real teacher.

Unlike a teacher, as long as it had enough electricity, it could work 24 hours a day, providing answers to any student with questions. And those students were not just children; people in their fifties and sixties, who were researchers before the apocalypse, also participated in the learning.

Steady improvement.

Now, not only did Liu Haipeng see the Dusk Cathedral, but he also saw Zheng Yichen.

He really was here.

Getting out of the car, a much younger Liu Haipeng walked over eagerly, "It’s good to see you again. I hope us suddenly showing up isn’t a problem?"

"No problem. Here, I’m just a worker," Zheng Yichen waved his hand, looking at Liu Haipeng, who no longer wore the look of the apocalypse. He could feel that the man in front of him had not only become younger, but his strength had also increased a lot.

"..." Liu Haipeng’s gaze towards the Dusk Cathedral was off, if Zheng Yichen was just working here, how special could this place be?

"How does it feel?"

Watching Liu Haipeng scrutinizing the Dusk Cathedral, Zheng Yichen asked.

"It’s a very strange feeling; when I look at this place, it feels as if time has stopped. Is there anything in particular to be aware of?" Liu Haipeng asked nervously, considering that even Zheng Yichen was working there.

"There are precautions inside; actually, this place is quite spacious. In normal times, it would be a nice place to study."

Unfortunately, this is the apocalypse, and it’s destined that the Dusk Cathedral won’t attract many people, unless someone becomes a Dusk mercenary. If such beings existed in this world, maybe it would become a better place, right?

Considering his ongoing ability to offload goods, it seems the Dusk Cathedral doesn’t impose many restrictions on this kind of operation. Zheng Yichen even asked Prioress Tia if he brought back some virus or such and cheated another world, would there be any consequence?

Prioress Tia’s answer was quite clear; there were no consequences as long as Zheng Yichen’s conscience could bear it. Humans are just sand on a large plate; as long as the plate isn’t affected, it doesn’t matter what the sand becomes...

Though she appeared in human form and was a beautiful nun, her words felt exceptionally cold.

"You can go and look for yourself."

Liu Haipeng nodded and led his teammates into the Dusk Cathedral, and among these teammates, he saw the female office worker from before and some other transmigrators.

Having come here, they were even more excited than Liu Haipeng, but after surviving in the apocalypse for some time, they also learned some rules of this new world.

Watching the people enter the Dusk Cathedral, Zheng Yichen continued to lift stones as part of his exercise. He preferred the power of Burst Mode over controlling Elements power, which depends more on the environment, and it seemed that fine operation depended on Mental power.

As Mental power grew stronger, the finesse of manipulation improved. It was something to practice, but no matter how much one practiced, it was about the faster accumulation and more concentrated focus of power. Developing and utilizing it in other ways was not easy, primarily because this ability was more akin to a superpower.

If you could accumulate enough Mental power, you could become very strong, unlike practicing spells, which needed more practice.

The power of Elements manipulation could be trained, but the improvement brought by training didn’t feel as significant as the power derived from Burst Mode.

The former was about the enhancement of manipulation, while the latter allowed one to physically feel the strengthening of one’s body.

"Is this the interior of the Dusk Cathedral? It feels really magical," Li Yun, who was with Liu Haipeng, couldn’t help but say as he looked around at the twilight hues. It was noon outside, but as soon as they entered, it seemed as though time stopped at dusk. If not for the thick cathedral doors being open, they would have thought the time of day had actually turned to dusk.

"There are notices over there; let’s take a look," Liu Haipeng said cautiously. He and Li Yun were now Evolvers in the camp and had rapidly increased in strength, thanks to the items they scavenged from Oma’s estate that allowed them to use viruses to expedite their evolution effortlessly.

While the numerous dangerous viruses had a significant effect on them, the stimulus they provided for bodily evolution was also substantial. If their bodies couldn’t handle it, those precious consumables could immediately help them survive, and in a very short time, their strength had increased greatly.

They weren’t brazen in the apocalypse, but they could handle most situations. Of course, such advancement wasn’t without its limits; they could feel the bonus period for accelerating their evolution coming to an end, and further improvement would require the accumulation of time and diligent training.

The precautions in the Dusk Cathedral during the apocalypse were similar to those in the Hazy City Dusk Cathedral.

Liu Haipeng and Li Yun looked a bit odd upon reading them; in the camp, there was no shortage of something like cigarettes. They had even started some production lines that could make cigarettes, but in the apocalypse, the shortage of raw materials was the issue.

They were trying to use everything from the Alien Phenomenon Remnant Zone to restore the pre-apocalypse state, but all these needed time and population. The cigarettes that were preserved were being kept safe, and the difficulty of obtaining them was neither too high nor too easy. As for others? They basically had no cigarettes to smoke.
