Chapter 1244: The Last Day

As time went on, half a month soon passed. The day before the apocalypse, Lin Wenwen suddenly had a feeling about the coming future.

“Xinxin, I think we’re gonna say good goodbye to each other,” Lin Wenwen stood on the balcony of Dong Xinxin’s new bedroom, which was located in Sea city, and looked at the setting sun as she talked to herself.

‘Why? Do you feel anything?’ Dong Xinxin’s voice was heard from her mind.

Recently, Dong Xinxin had been growing more and more energetic, and she was able to stay in her own body for a longer and longer time. She could control her body for days without doing any intense exercises. However, as intense exercises could boost her mind power, she chose to shorten her time of controlling her own body and use the time to exercise, then let Lin Wenwen take over the body and continue exercising.

Lin Wenwen hadn’t told Dong Xinxin about her own superpowers. However, by sharing the same body with her, Dong Xinxin had felt her powers more or less. One of them was able to travel through the time to the past while the other one was able to foresee the future.

“Yeah, I saw it. Tonight, you will fall into unconsciousness again, and your superpower will wake up. I guess the awakening of your superpower will pull some kind of trigger and send me back. I think I can go back to where I came from,” Lin Wenwen smiled. Dong Xinxin’s face looked chubby and young. When she smiled, a pair of tiny dimples could be seen on her cheeks.

However, there was a sharp contrast between that face of hers and her current character. She was quite violent now. She wasn’t gentle at all when she practiced combat skills with Dong Lijia, and when she was facing Deng Chenfei and Luo Yuanjun. As same as her moves, her personality had grown strong and fierce.

She was now a violent little girl!

She looked small-sized, like an adorable little animal. One might think that she was a timid little girl, but the truth was not like that at all. Her appearance was too deceitful.

“My power will awake tonight? This is indeed different from the last time. Last time, my power woke up a few years after the apocalypse,” Dong Xinxin sighed and said with a complicated tone.

“This time, you don’t need to do anything. This body will belong to you only when you wake up the next time,” said Lin Wenwen.

In the three months that she spent with Dong Xinxin, Lin Wenwen learned that the other was actually a nice girl. She was just forced to be cold and selfish by the apocalypse.

Lin Wenwen took a nap after lunch, during which she had a dream about tomorrow morning. As same as last time, the world was weirdly quiet that morning. Usually, many breakfast places would open about six in the morning, and the streets would gradually be crowded by the people going to work or school. But that morning, only a few people could be seen outside. The stores that opened early every day wouldn’t open, and the roads were almost empty.

Lin Wenwen wouldn’t be there to see that morning. She foresaw the next morning, but when she opened her eyes again, she would be back in All Being Base in the future.

In her dream, the cold morning suddenly became blurry. Then, she found herself in a hospital room. She walked to the window and looked outside, seeing some reconstructed buildings. The sky was gray, and the air was pressing. Moroever, many familiar vibes could be sensed.

“Yeah? Don’t I need to do anything? So, I won’t be doing what I promised you,” Dong Xinxin wasn’t very happy to hear what Lin Wenwen said.

She saw commitment as an important thing. She promised someone something, and she intended to fulfill her word. If her effort was no longer required for the thing that she promised to do, she would feel as if she had failed to keep her word.

If she failed to do what she promised, she would keep thinking about that.

“What does it matter? As long as I can go back to where I came from…” Lin Wenwen didn’t care about it.

“It matters,” said Dong Xinxin, “I brought you back here against your own will, and I made you exercise my body. I didn’t do anything for you in return. I took advantage of you! I don’t like taking advantage of people!”

Hearing the girl’s stubborn speech, Lin Wenwen smiled sand said, “I don’t think so. I borrowed a lot of money from your brother, and I don’t intend to pay him back. Also, I’ve collected so many supplies from the pre-apocalypse world. I think I’ve gotten more than I expected.”

She borrowed money from Dong Lijia more than five times during the past few months, and she actually felt a little guilty about that. Dong Lijia clearly understood that the money would not be returned, yet he had no choice but to give her the money. Every time, the struggling look on his face amused Lin Wenwen.

“Do you think Deng Chenfei and Luo Yuanjun will burn incense and worship you after they see what’ll happen tomorrow morning?” Thinking about tomorrow and how people would react, Lin Wenwen wondered what Deng Chenfei and Luo Yuanjun would feel when it really happened. They would feel lucky, wouldn’t they? At least, they were smart enough to do some preparation.

“Burn incense and worship me? Why? I’m not dead!” Dong Xinxin complained on hearing Lin Wenwen’s words.

“Who said you have to be dead to be worshiped? In the temples, people worship Buddha,” Lin Wenwen smiled.

“I’m not a Buddha,” said Dong Xinxin.

“You now know everything that is going to happen in the coming seven years. You are exactly like Buddha. You can see the future,” Lin Wenwen made a joke.

The sunlight grew dimmer and dimmer, with a rarely seen purple-red color. It was so beautiful. Many people raised their heads to look at the stunning sky without knowing what would happen to them in the night.

In the room next-door, Dong Lijia was also standing on the balcony, looking at the sky. The beautiful scenery couldn’t be seen every day. However, the splendid sky didn’t ease the depression that was brought to him by the incoming disaster, which he already knew clearly about.

The peaceful era was going to end soon. Tomorrow, the whole world would fall into chaos and panic.

He and his family had made some arrangements. The ones that they kept by their sides were all selected by Dong Xinxin himself. Those people were kind and reliable. Facing life-threatening situations, they would not do anything immoral.

“Tonight, everyone stays indoors. Stay in your own rooms and lock the door up. From tomorrow morning on, do not come out, no matter what you hear. If you want to know what’s going on out there, look outside your window! Come to meet the others in the hallway in three days!” After it got dark, Dong Lijia gave a strict order to his people.

They rented the entire building, replaced the wooden doors and windows with alloy products, and added a double-layer anti-thief door to every unit. Normal zombies were probably able to break wooden doors, but not the metal ones.

Dong Lijia gave everyone food and water that could last three days. Each unit in the building included a small balcony and a bathroom.

They lived on the top three floors and left the lower floors empty. The front door leading into the building was locked up, and all entrances of the building were sealed up.
