Chapter 136: This human is a complete…

Unknowingly, more than half a day had passed outside.
However, although only 16 hours had passed, it felt exceptionally long.

“Emergency notice, emergency notice. The entire globe may be facing full-scale contamination radiation. All local governments are requested to prepare for mobilization and arrange for all citizens to be transferred to underground shelters! The current extent of radiation spread is unknown. Everyone, please strictly abide by the ‘Ark 2 Project Public Regulations’ and do not panic! The Global Supernatural Management Bureau has already dispatched experts to all countries to assist. All ability users are with you. Please trust the authorities, trust us. We will surely create a beautiful future belonging to humanity!”

“Emergency notice, emergency notice…”

Switching through channel after channel, the same script came from the videos.

So far, whether it was television, radio, or major media outlets around the world, all were broadcasting the same message, one that would change the lives of all humanity.

Someone knocked on the door from outside, and then Ju Ze’s voice came in, “President, the car is ready.”

“Click.” Yan Xingzhou tossed the remote control in his hand onto the nearby table and casually picked up the jacket hanging on the back of the chair.

He had already removed the device cables connected to his body and changed into a well-fitting, neat uniform.

Pushing the door open, Yan Xingzhou gave Ju Ze a look to lead the way and followed him towards the staircase.

Just as he started walking, he saw the figure at the corner but had no intention of slowing down. It wasn’t until he was about to brush past that he heard the other person suddenly speak, “Are you sure you’re not going to wait any longer?”

Yan Xingzhou stopped and looked at Shen Nanyang. “Rest assured, since I said one day, I will not act rashly before then.”

There was no warmth in his cold gaze. “On the other hand, Professor Shen, you seem to be very free. At least you still have time to meddle in my affairs.”

“I just don’t want any more variables.” Shen Nanyang did not avoid his gaze. “In a way, President Yan, you are also the key to whether humanity’s future can exist. Ensuring your safety is the most important thing for me. After all, if something were to happen to you, I really can’t imagine what kind of things he would do.”

“Then you should also know what I would do if something were to happen to him.” Yan Xingzhou sneered, looking at Shen Nanyang scrutinizingly. “So, are you really sure he can return safely, Professor Shen?”

The few seconds of silence felt as long as centuries.

Finally, Shen Nanyang’s calm voice sounded, “I am sure.”

“That’s good.”

Yan Xingzhou didn’t look at him again, turned, and went downstairs by himself. “I will go to the entrance of the special-grade isolation zone to pick him up. There are still 8 hours. If he still hasn’t come out by then, I will go in to find him.”

At the same time.

The figure deep within the special-grade contamination zone paused slightly, as if he had sensed something.

Calamity, who had control, clearly felt the emotional change of the body’s main consciousness and frowned. “At a time like this, you’re spacing out?”

“I was calculating how much time has passed outside,” Lin Xi’s words came out through the same body. “I asked Yan Xingzhou for one day. If I exceed the time, he’ll probably really come in here to catch me. But with his current ability condition, coming in here is not a good thing. You understand what I mean, right?”

“…”

Calamity was speechless. “You are definitely the kind of exploiter that the most overworked laborers hate the most among humans!”

Lin Xi was noncommittal. “If you can’t do it, I don’t mind taking over this body myself.”

“Don’t! Soon. Let me enjoy it a little longer.”

From the same voice, two completely different tones conversed, one after the other.

Just looking at such a casual and leisurely exchange, one could not associate it with the shocking, hell-like scene around them.

[Bloom].

Although the original crystal core had been shattered a lot due to Lin Xi’s self-destruction, as it had been constantly replenished with energy during this period, the ability belonging to Calamity, the King of Contaminants, had been recovered.

The agitated contaminants rushed forward one after another, only to tremble subconsciously due to the excessively strong contamination radiation around this human.

As the bones in his body grew wildly under the drive of an invisible force, the monsters’ bodies were torn apart layer by layer amidst sharp hisses. Their flesh, not yet completely detached from the bones, still struggled and writhed as it was torn apart.

Boundless flames, a thick and pungent smell of blood, and endless wails.

For a moment, it was completely impossible to tell whether this was a paradise that the contaminants had successfully occupied, or their hell.

A faint flame surrounded the man’s body, silently devouring the surrounding light. He walked forward step by step, treading on the ground that had been soaked through with flesh and blood.

Countless white bones grew out from those struggling masses of flesh like blooming thorns, coiling around, slowly paving a path of bones before him leading forward.

The fog shrouding the distance grew closer and closer.

Dense white bones formed a solid and pale bone shield around Calamity. Faint flames coiled on it, as if a pair of huge wings had bloomed behind him, full of a strange beauty.

The slaughter brought a long-lost pleasure, causing an excited crimson to appear in Calamity’s eyes.

He stared straight at this black mist that had clearly begun to stir restlessly, stepped onto the stone steps in front, a look of great interest on his face. “I’ll ask you one last time. Are you sure you don’t want to have a good chat with me?”

The black mist began to churn. “Impossible… How is this possible? Abyss! Abyss didn’t say your ability had already recovered to this extent… and, why does it feel even more… no, why can you use that human’s ability!?”

“There are many things you can’t understand. And I warned you all long ago.” Calamity narrowed his eyes in annoyance, clearly not wanting to hear that name. “Abyss? I haven’t settled the score with Him for trying to take my life when I was at my lowest. After all, we’ve known each other for so long. You all should be very clear about my temper, right?”

Before his voice had fallen, he swiftly reached out a hand. The seemingly formless mist seemed to be stretched open from the inside by something. The sound of some tissue being torn apart, bit by bit, fell clearly and strangely around them.

“Aaaahhh—! Calamity, you can’t do this to me—! Ahh, ahhhh—!”

Under the heart-piercing scream, the surrounding air was suddenly split open.

“Trying to escape already?” Calamity smiled, not at all surprised.

A bone spike shot out from deep within the ground, piercing straight through the center of the black mist. When the void-like crack touched the blooming flames, it instantly vanished.

Wuyu wailed in pain. “Calam…ity! Have you… really decided to be humanity’s… dog?”

“The boring trash-talking part?” Calamity was clearly enjoying the struggle of this former “friend.” “Have you forgotten how I made you all submit back then? My ability was created specifically to deal with bodiless things like you. With me here, you can’t escape.”

At this point, his words paused slightly. “Have you heard the saying, ‘when you live under someone else’s roof, you have to bow your head’? Not to mention we’re the kind of contaminants who have no sense of morality to begin with. I can only tell you now, return my position to me, and I can at least guarantee a decent future for the contaminant world. Otherwise, you all know what my ability is. If that person really intends to use both my and his powers together, the final result—might really be to bring the entire contaminant world to ruin with us.”

He stuck out his tongue to lick the green blood that had splattered on the corner of his mouth and gave a sincere reminder, “And, compared to my warm and harmless self, he is indeed much easier to get along with.”

Wuyu nearly cursed. “You’re harmless my… ahhhh—!!!”

Before the last word could fall, the tail end of it was swallowed by overwhelming pain.

“I already told you just now. I’m in a hurry.” The tone was slow and leisurely. Although it was the same body, the person who spoke again was clearly no longer Calamity.

At this moment, the red vertical pupils were filled more with boredom at the scene before him. Flames that suddenly shot out had already engulfed half of the black mist in an instant. The pungent smell of burnt flesh enveloped the surroundings, appropriately leaving this still-useful contaminant with its last breath.

The coiling white bone wings twisted in shape, gathering around Lin Xi, slowly forming a throne made of bones.

He sat on it leisurely with his legs crossed, playing with the dancing flame in his palm, looking at the dying, struggling thing before him with a half-smile, a chilling curve to his lips. “The reunion with Calamity should be over by now, right? Now, how about having a proper chat with me about business? Unlike Calamity, my patience is very limited right now. I just don’t know if you’re willing to… cooperate a little?”

His slightly curved eyes looked very kind and amiable, but when they fell upon him, the immense pressure made Wuyu subconsciously want to flee.

The words he had not taken to heart before suddenly flashed through Wuyu’s mind—”Angering him will do no one any good.”

Wuyu had no time to answer before he saw more flames beginning to devour His body.

For the first time in His life, He felt a sense of despair, a feeling He had never had even when facing any other contaminant.

Calamity was right.

This human was a complete and utter madman.
