"wait for me Erha"
says Xi Xingyu before he directly disappears from his place
the sixth day passed and the unknown enemy still didn't make an appearance, just from this Li Xiang was sure he will not appear anytime soon, forget about showing up tomorrow, opening up a space tunnel is not that secretive when it opens a cut will be opened in the sky, chaos will seep from it, no matter how small chaos will seep through everyone who can sense spiritual energy will detect it instantly, plus the travel duration takes time for the traveler to reach the end, by now the tunnel should have already appeared yesterday.
"Xu Kong, Su Mei notify the leaders, we're having a gathering"
"yes sir"
a group of people passed up a broad staircase, their sight kept landing everywhere through the hallway until they reached the broad entrance hall, on both sides stood the white faceless cyborgs in line
once they stepped inside, everyone was lost in sight, gazing, with wondering eyes upon the beauty that surrounded them, inside the spacious white hall with giant poles surrounded by dragon sculptures like clinging vines, the porcelain floor is white and smooth, in the center of the hall a round big table with chairs made from jade, the group's sight lands on all the chairs facing the table then at the tallest chair which they assumed to be the main seat.
as if responding to their inquiry the chair turn around showing Li Xiang's figure, without any delay, everyone swept the shock away and took a seat.
"We currently are targeted by many dangers, the unknown entity, and the thunder wrath, we might be safe for now but that won't necessarily be the case in future "
" after this wave of thunder, the human race will be endangered, its population will plummet and the survival degree will decrease enormously, I'm not here to ask for your advice but to give each of u a mission, first someone needs to gather suitable people to search for survivors outside the city "
"second, managing the city's evolution speed "
"third, search and trained ability users "
"fourth, establish an institution for talents, either intellectual or a productive related ability user "
"fifth, create a strong team or force to rode dungeons and inspect anomalies, of course, life-saving resources will be given with extra privileges "
"all of you think harder about what you're gonna choose, when you're done just fill the paper former and send it to me "
"dismissed ", Li Xiang ends the meeting and directly leaves without giving the audience a second look.
forget about objecting or giving an opinion from the start till the end, no one dared to talk, who doesn't know the boss's temper, say something that makes unhappy and he will slice you without batting an eye, besides everyone knows that with such complete who excels in everything only an idiot will give him advice, it's like giving advice to Mgoogle.
Chang Ming P.O.V:
inside a room, a young man lying in bed is covered in cold sweat and moves constantly while he's asleep, suddenly the man jolts awake, his eyes snapped open, his breathing was heaving and his heart pounded as if he just finished a marathon.
he looks around with a paranoid look filled with horror, the moment he snapped out of it he rushes to rub his eyes, making sure he's truly awakened.
'sigh', thankfully it's just a dream
it all happened two months ago, his sister got taken away and got thrown into that hellish terrain filled with Zombies and strange looking creatures like specters, thankfully he awakened a light ability, the specters couldn't reach me but the zombies could, to get out of there I almost lost my life, although he made it alive he won't be living for too long with his injuries, his situation was hopeless and even if someone saves him how can he waste precious medicine on him, getting closer to death's door he was not reconciled he has yet to save his sister yet to obtain his revenge.
God seems to hear his prayers and sent him a savior, only this savior didn't look human, he had a glistening white porcelain face with no eyes, no nose, and no mouth, a needle came out from his finger then injected me with an unknown substance, my vision turned black and the next thing I knew I woke up inside this imaginary city, people are wearing clean clothes, eat three delicious meals, and laugh in the streets with peace.
later I knew that what saved me is one of the thousand cyborgs created by the lord, the worship and admiration in my heart could no longer be hidden, the lord is definitely humanity's savior, in my two-month stay here my awe kept growing as my determination to pay back the lord's favor solidified.
after I washed my teeth and eat my breakfast I go out to pick a task, I walk through the streets to the cities center while looking up from time to time at the thunder striking the invisible shield, such sight is terrifying but no one in the streets showed anxiety or fear, they all just looked at it like looking at firecrackers.
after I reach the city's center I go directly to the place where tasks are pasted, to my surprise it was surrounded by a crowd of people,and since I don't wanna tussle between people I go ask someone nearby
Chang Ming: "what's going on?"
the man: "an announcement was made, they're asking for people who wants to join five projects "
Chang: "what are they?"
the man: "they are recruiting people to form teams and bring survivors in, the second is to recruit ability users, the second is to recruit talents, the third is recruiting strong people to go roam outside to look for those anomalies.
once I heard this I could not wait to sign up, his chance to return the favor finally arrived!
