Chapter 98: Chapter 96 Everyone Can Bring _1

The Dusk Cathedral doesn’t require secrecy; Hazy City’s Dusk Cathedral was like that, and so was Katrina’s world’s Dusk Cathedral. It was a place intended for ordinary people to go, and informing these misfortunate victims twisted and pulled here by the Alien Phenomenon was a good idea.

"The Dusk Cathedral?" The female office worker noted down the place. Zheng Yichen was different from them, but he seemed to know some things. Could it have anything to do with this place? "How can we find that place?"

Zheng Yichen looked at the map on his phone and pointed in a direction, "Over there, about two hundred kilometers away, near Hua River City."

Afterward, the other unconscious people also gradually woke up. Those who feigned unconsciousness ’timely’ opened their eyes, some looking dazed, some watching their surroundings warily, and among them, some were wailing.

Zheng Yichen looked at the wailing few; they were the more unfortunate ones. These people were all dragged here by the distortion of the Alien Phenomenon, some landed smoothly, while others fell from a height. Those who fell from a height definitely had no chance of survival, and even those who landed smoothly were only a short distance from the ground.

Bumps and bruises were inevitable, and if the landing area was uneven, breaking bones was a normal occurrence.

The wailing ones were those who had been injured: one had a broken leg, another a broken arm, and the other few were also in bad shape. He had learned some emergency treatment methods from John and immediately went over to check the conditions of the two.

As he spoke, he reset their bones, tore a wire from a pole lying on the ground, found a few pieces of wood, and after treating them, dusted off his hands.

"It’s not a severe fracture, quit the noise."

While he was there, he was quite willing to help these people, with the exception of those courting death. So far, the people who had woken up were all quite reasonable, and none of those troublemakers had emerged.

At that moment, the female office worker came over and asked some additional questions, "Are there no people in those buildings?"

"There might have been before, but some were probably completely eaten."

The female office worker’s face turned pale in an instant, heart rising to her throat, "Eaten, completely eaten?"

"Yeah, in a sense, you were pulled into this place as food," Zheng Yichen said, wrinkling his lips. The Alien Phenomenon creature clearly needed to eat, and finding enough food in this post-apocalyptic world didn’t seem so easy.

From the outside, such a large Alien Phenomenon would be avoided by anyone not mentally impaired. Since it couldn’t get more food from the outside, it had to be self-sufficient.

"Those who don’t believe me, follow me." Zheng Yichen didn’t explain too much on this matter, but led those half-convinced people to the battle site, where they stared in amazement at the extensive damage around them, finding it difficult to imagine what kind of battle could cause such devastation.

Upon seeing the corpse of the Alien Phenomenon behemoth, they understood. The Alien Phenomenon behemoth’s standing height was only about a dozen meters, a younger sibling compared to Godzilla, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it was a massive creature standing over ten meters tall and over thirty meters in length!

"You, you killed it??" Someone asked unbelievingly, looking at Zheng Yichen. The reason they were so well-behaved and none tried to make trouble after waking up was mainly due to Zheng Yichen’s stature; the hoodie he wore could hardly conceal his muscular physique.

He was clearly not someone to mess with!

"You all might as well thank me." Zheng Yichen returned to the side of the behemoth, pulled out a new piece of meat from the open chest cavity, and felt hungry again not long after consuming the blood of the behemoth, which seemed to have given him a strong reaction.

"You can eat that?!"

"Why not?" Zheng Yichen pinched the meat that had already cooled down. The creature was huge and non-toxic—of course, it could be eaten. As for what the feedback from consuming it had brought him, Zheng Yichen still hadn’t felt anything direct.

The feedback from ingesting the Alien Phenomenon behemoth’s blood perhaps didn’t give him any clear characteristics, like a vampire or werewolf’s regenerative abilities, night vision, or thermal vision.

These characteristics could be immediately noticed, while others were not so easily determined, such as resistance to poison or magic... Speaking of which, this behemoth’s resistance to magic didn’t seem that high, did it?

Hellfire had caused noticeable damage to it, and this creature looked like a T-rex but wasn’t the same kind of existence as a giant dragon.

"It could be poisonous."

"Such massive creatures generally don’t need poison to assist themselves!" Zheng Yichen earnestly bluffed. If it were actually toxic, he would have been affected when he first ate it.

He kindled a bunch of fires, heated the meat again, and began eating in front of them. As for those who quietly slipped away while he was eating, he didn’t mind. They were all adults with their own legs; could he really break them if they chose to run away?

They just had to be prepared to take the risks associated with the choices they made.

If nothing else, as long as he was around, this place was safe.

"Captain, someone is running out!"

Liu Haipeng nodded, "I see."

In the post-apocalyptic world, people’s vision was not bad. Liu Haipeng was far from having blurry old eyes, and moreover, those who survived the apocalypse had evolved to varying extents, able to catch glimpses of figures darting out from that chaotic area.

"Hand me the binoculars."

After receiving the binoculars, Liu Haipeng’s eyes widened even further. He saw that the clothing of the people running out didn’t match their surroundings, as it was the kind of normal attire worn thirty years ago before the apocalypse had erupted: "How can this be possible? Alien Phenomena can bring some special resources, but can they also bring out people??"

Liu Haipeng considered this possibility. Where the Alien Phenomenon had passed, other than scattered special resources, there were many skeletons. Perhaps those skeletons weren’t leftovers from being eaten by something within the Phenomenon? As for why there were no human ones... maybe humans don’t leave behind any bones.

Only the skeletons of large creatures could be preserved.

"Captain, should we make contact with him?"

"... Let’s make contact first. You guys watch from here, I’ll go." Liu Haipeng pulled over a motorcycle and quickly approached the bewildered person.

When the other person saw Liu Haipeng approaching, his expression became even more confused, and then, under Liu Haipeng’s uncomprehending stare, the person’s demeanor turned into one of panic and alarm. He reached out to grab the weapon he carried, and only after getting closer could Liu Haipeng clearly hear what the other person was saying.

"The apocalypse... it’s really the apocalypse!"

"Uh." Looking at the man’s panic, Liu Haipeng was momentarily at a loss for words. This was already the post-apocalyptic world, after all. He suddenly thought of a new possibility. Despite looking over fifty, in the time before the apocalypse he was just a man in his twenties.

He had been in touch with technology, and had his fair share of reading, such as novels about transmigration. The man in front of him dressed cleanly, and his skin wasn’t rough—was he really from this epoch?

"My friend, although this is the post-apocalyptic world, it is no longer the most dangerous and dark period. You... hey, hey."

Watching the man turn and run, Liu Haipeng stretched out his arm in exasperation. He looked down at his own clothing, which was standard post-apocalyptic garb, but there was nothing to be done; civilizational reconstruction was far off, and everything needed revitalizing, so there weren’t many industrial products.

He looked at the buildings scattered around the Alien Phenomenon zone and had another idea. Since the vanishing Phenomenon likely involved ’transmigration’, and now that the Phenomenon had disappeared, could the remaining buildings and other things be repurposed?

If they could, relocating the town here might be feasible.

As for why they didn’t choose any of the cities, it was because the urban areas were already occupied.

Going there would only lead to conflict.

But this place was unclaimed, and ’transmigrators’, how many could there be? Most importantly, the area was fresh. If there were many modern items preserved, then it would definitely be worth relocating!

Liu Haipeng was concerned about the transmigrator who had run off, but he cared more about the people around him. Regarding the escaped transmigrator, lacking experience in surviving the apocalypse would make it hard for him to stay alive, and Liu Haipeng seriously doubted whether the man could adapt to the post-apocalyptic environment.

Those who had lived through the early days of the apocalypse and the next generation had adapted to the virus to a certain extent, while this suspected transmigrator might not adapt to the diminishing virus.

Breathing the air of the apocalypse might not pose a great issue, but over time, if they couldn’t adapt to the virus, daily exposure might turn them into ’zombies’.

Zombies... Liu Haipeng thought, he hadn’t seen one of those for at least eight or nine years. In the beginning, zombies were everywhere, human and animal alike. Then, after evolving, they no longer targeted living humans exclusively—they also attacked their own kind.

After the virus heavily culled humans in the early days of the apocalypse, evolved zombies further eradicated a large number of their own.

Later, zombies which had evolved could no longer be called zombies but new evolved species. They had become more refined post-evolution, but bore little resemblance to their former selves. The zombies retained human forms, but their concepts differed drastically from ordinary humans. They held memories from before death, but those memories meant as much to the evolved zombies as knowledge from a book.

In the eyes of those zombies, the difference between humans and other animals wasn’t significant; both were food. The difference was that humans were smarter, tended to stick together, and could use many weapons. However, those weapons could also be used by zombies.

Because of evolution, nearly ten years ago, those decaying zombies essentially became extinct. If humans surviving now were infected with the potent zombie virus, they wouldn’t turn into the sluggish type seen in the movies but instead would become agile, stronger ’madmen’.

The starting point would be evolved zombies whose bodies no longer decayed and didn’t stink.

In Liu Haipeng’s view, those without adaptability in the apocalypse were ticking time bombs. Out of caution, he didn’t chase after the man but instead gathered his team to prepare to explore this Alien Phenomenon Remnant Zone.
