Chapter 89: Prophecy?
Lingyao: "This is the truth behind the man of Qi's worries. And some of the people of Qi who experienced two meteorites falling from the sky back then still survived."
The people of this small town all have the blood of the people of Qi. And having survived two meteorite strikes, we can glimpse the future.
And you are the one prophesied to save us!
Zheng Wudi was stunned. What kind of situation was this?
Did the gossip really backfire on you?
Why is this prophecy so mysterious?
These words completely confused Zheng Wudi.
How...how...how is this possible?
Is this survival game an illusion or a reality?
The things she's encountering now are all beyond her imagination.
This can't be true, right?
Zheng Wudi stood there dumbfounded for a long time, pointing at himself with an incredulous look on his face and saying, "Me? The person in the prophecy was talking about me? Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"
How can someone as unreliable as her be a savior?
Is this world doomed?
Lingyao noticed Zheng Wudi's concerns and slowly said, "It's alright. If you really can't do it, I won't blame you. It's just a little regrettable!"
Zheng Wudi asked with some curiosity, "What a pity? What's a pity?"
Lingyao gazed intently at the door and said, "It's just a pity that after all our efforts, only I am left wandering around in a daze..."
Zheng Wudi looked puzzled and asked, "But those people outside only lost their minds. Won't they wake up after they succeed?"
Hearing her words, Lingyao snapped out of his daze and explained, "I am the most talented one in the small town. In order to allow me to last longer, they left themselves no chance of survival!"
"Do you have any other way to shrink so I can take you with me when I leave this little world?" Zheng Wudi couldn't think of anything he could do to get them out of their predicament.
Moreover, it didn't explain exactly what this predicament was.
Zheng Wudi felt like his mind was going to go blank.
"There is no way to leave this world. We are all trapped here, endlessly repeating the same cycle! Disaster strikes the town, everyone dies, and then the next day, we are resurrected, repeating the day the disaster struck!"
Zheng Wudi: "What disaster happened to you that day? How could everyone have died all at once?"
Lingyao carefully recalled what happened that day, and his expression became even uglier. "That day was a very ordinary day. Everyone got up in the morning and did their own things, but a dark aura enveloped the entire town."
Everyone who came into contact with the black aura died. Initially, the black aura wasn't so powerful. Knowing it was dangerous to touch, everyone hid!
But it was no use! Everyone still died, becoming spirits. Then, the next day, they all seemed to come back to life!
I initially thought this was a gift from heaven, but later I realized that we were just repeating the day of our death on that day.
At first, everyone was eager to find a way to escape death! Later, they discovered there was no way. In fact, due to the repetitive cycle, some people gradually lost their minds, becoming mindless zombies.
Later, the high priest found a solution in ancient texts, but it could only barely protect everyone's sanity.
But later the formation wore down, and the treasures that could be used to set it up disappeared. Then I was chosen, and the others replaced those treasures with themselves. Only then was I able to survive with a clear mind.
And you, you foresaw it before the dark energy invaded our small town.
"Thank goodness you arrived early! Otherwise, you would have only seen my skeleton!"
Zheng Wudi wiped away the tears that had fallen from his face because of this tragic event.
Her voice choked with emotion as she said, "But I have nothing on me, how can I rescue you? Did you foresee how I would save you? You yourself said that time is tight, so if you know, just tell me."
Lingyao shook his head and said, "The prophecy only said that a benefactor would come to save us, and said nothing else."
Zheng Wudi shrugged and said, "What can we do? I'm like a skilled cook without rice to cook. This so-called black energy you mentioned is like a foreign language to me!"
Lingyao, however, looked relaxed and reassured him, "It's alright. At most, it'll just be one more person turned into a puppet, and I'll be one more. Besides, I've been dead for a long time!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Wudi burst into tears. He was always filled with resentment when faced with life and death.
He persevered through all those difficulties.
Why do you feel a little discouraged now?
Zheng Wudi felt that this wouldn't do!
Which savior is as pathetic as her?
We must rise again!
Have ambition! Have the determination to never give up!
It will definitely succeed!
Didn't Lingyao finally get to see her?
It will succeed!
Zheng Wudi slapped his thigh, startling Ling Yao who was standing to the side.
"Let's go! Let's go now! The mission to rescue the town will definitely succeed!" Zheng Wudi was full of energy and only wanted to successfully rescue the people of the town.
Zheng Wudi strode open the door and walked towards the main gate.
As I walked, I suddenly remembered the blood-red eye I had seen through the crack in the door earlier.
Zheng Wudi then backed up to Ling Yao's side.
He leaned forward and asked, "So, are all these people outside your clansmen? Since we're connected by blood, they shouldn't attack you, right?"
Zheng Wudi was filled with anticipation, hoping to get a positive answer from Ling Yao.
Lingyao shook his head and said, "They have no reason left. They've completely lost their senses. Right now, in their eyes, I'm just a piece of food to be devoured!"
The great formation hasn't completely failed yet; in a few days, they'll break into this courtyard again.
Zheng Wudi looked pale and sickly; the more he tried not to recall it, the more it crept into his mind.
The scene with the red eyes kept replaying in my mind.
Is it even possible to get out?
She had originally thought that if they wouldn't affect Lingyao, then she could have some protection by sticking close to Lingyao.
Now it's all good...
If everyone were to go out, wouldn't that be like walking into a trap?
Zheng Wudi's eyes searched the courtyard, but it was empty; there was nothing to hide from him.
What's the difference between going out like this and courting death?
But even if you don't go out, you'll still die in the end!
Um!
I've come up with an idea!

Zheng Wudi stepped on Ling Yao's shoulder, poked his head out, and peered curiously outside.
After checking the commotion outside, Zheng Wudi lowered his head and whispered, "There aren't many people surrounding us. How about we climb over the wall and get out from here?"
As previously agreed, Lingyao patted Zheng Wudi's calf twice to indicate his consent.
Then...
This road won't work either!
Zheng Wudi had just stretched out one leg when he tried to stretch out the other leg as well, and then a circle of unconscious people surrounded him.
How can we do this?
