Top-tier Savior

Chapter 25: A Bit of Bad Luck

After accidentally ingesting pollen, it was estimated that he would die this time.

Wang Ran didn't care much about Bai Fan's life or death, because he now had too many questions that needed Fourteen to answer.

[You ask Fourteen about the Doomsday Apostles' attitude towards ordinary people based on the situation at Camp 6] [You learn that the Doomsday Apostles hope to select and help some ordinary people become extraordinary companions, so they will treat them well when conditions allow. However, as the disaster intensifies and the Doomsday Apostles can barely take care of themselves, these people will become burdens to be abandoned at any time, used as meat shields against dangers, or even as food reserves when supplies are scarce] ["Let's just think of it as raising pigs."]

Fourteen actually compared ordinary people to pigs, and even plainly stated that they would eat people when hungry.

Wang Ran couldn't help but feel chilled to the heart.

[Fourteen notices your uneasiness]

[He shouts at you loudly]

["The apocalypse is not a tea party!"]

["It's the end of the world, understand?!"]

["In Yong'an City, hundreds of thousands of people died or were injured in just one day, and in the end only the thousand or so people you saved remained, and soon after that thousand, only a little over a hundred were left!"] ["In just a few days, it went from a million people to just over a hundred?"] ["Out of countless people, only one can survive, and that person bears the responsibility of continuing human civilization. Either become that person or die for that person!"] ["This is the fate of people in the end times!"]

["As an extraordinary person, you should have this awareness!"]

Wang Ran silently looked at these lines of text.

He could feel the passionate tone behind the words, and he even had the illusion that Fourteen was standing in front of him, spitting saliva on his face.

Fourteen's belief was very firm.

But this was also the most puzzling thing to him. What exactly made Fourteen abandon his family and friends and resolutely become a Doomsday Apostle?

After the apocalypse, one should indeed abandon compassion and focus on personal survival and the continuation of civilization.

But why bring about the apocalypse in the first place?

From Fourteen's words, he saw a sense of responsibility and mission to continue human civilization. He wondered what made Fourteen develop this mindset after doing things that would exterminate humanity?

It should be known that if the Doomsday Apostles hadn't awakened the giant beasts, there wouldn't have been a situation where countless people had to die for one to live!

Why on earth did the Doomsday Apostles want to awaken the giant beasts?

The doubts in Wang Ran's heart grew stronger.

The Doomsday Apostles' awakening of the giant beasts was certainly not just to establish an extraordinary civilization. There must be a deeper logical chain behind it that could support the Doomsday Apostles' strong beliefs.

[You ask Fourteen why they wanted to awaken the giant beasts]

[Fourteen thinks your awareness is insufficient]

[He refuses to answer this question]

Wang Ran rolled his eyes: "Didn't you agree to answer three questions?" The most crucial question wasn't answered, but this also indicated that the Doomsday Apostles indeed had other reasons for awakening the giant beasts, and one needed a certain level of awareness to know what they were.

He didn't feel disappointed, after all, he had already unlocked this development route and could ask questions as many times as he wanted.

"I'll ask again next time when I perform better."

[You ask Fourteen about the bronze door]

[You learn that the bronze door is a divine object placed in Camp 6 by the leader of the Doomsday Apostles. Only extraordinary people can control it, and when opened, a passage leading to an unknown destination appears] [No one who has entered has ever returned]

[The Doomsday Apostles view this door as their last resort]

[Fourteen speculates that the bronze door is a supernatural artifact created by ancient extraordinary people using supernatural knowledge. He doesn't participate in the research and is unclear about the extent of the Doomsday Apostles' research on this door]

"The bronze door is actually a teleportation gate!" Wang Ran felt amazed.

The concept of teleportation is not unfamiliar to many people; any world with a certain level of power would have similar things.

"Ancient extraordinary people..."

Wang Ran felt a bit confused.

Ancient extraordinary people had mastered such amazing spatial technology as teleportation gates, so they must have had remarkable achievements in other areas as well.

But modern society is dominated by ordinary people,

He had never seen any information about extraordinary people.

It was as if extraordinary people had disappeared.

The only extraordinary people he knew of were the Doomsday Apostles, this bunch of world-destroying lunatics.

Why was this?

[You ask Fourteen about information on ancient extraordinary people]

[You learn that after discovering the bronze door, the Doomsday Apostles re-examined myths and legends] [The Doomsday Apostles believe that a kind of extraordinary gene is widely present in human bodies, and this extraordinary gene rapidly degenerated after the Qin Dynasty, becoming completely dormant in modern society] ["On the Qin" states: "Collected the weapons of the world, gathered them in Xianyang, melted their blades and tips, cast them into twelve metal statues to weaken the people of the world"] [The Doomsday Apostles believe this passage hints that the dormancy of the extraordinary gene is related to Emperor Qin Shi Huang] [For two thousand years after the Qin Dynasty, almost no one awakened the extraordinary gene, until the Doomsday Apostles discovered a method to reawaken it] [You ask Fourteen how to awaken the extraordinary gene]

[Fourteen refuses you]

[Because you have already asked three questions]

"That fast?" Wang Ran was still eager for more. He even had the impulse to commit suicide and start over to ask three more questions.

A few seconds later, rationality regained the high ground.

"Forget it, next time."

"I've barely managed to live to the eleventh day."

This was the first time he had lived this long.

His previous longest survival record was ten days, during which he and Lin Ying were lovey-dovey in the basement until they were killed by the army's missiles.

He should have reached the second milestone.

He wanted to know what would happen next.

The text continued to scroll.

[Day 12, you inquire about Fourteen's injuries]

[You learn that Fourteen can regenerate lost flesh, but cannot repair damaged bones. His combat ability has greatly diminished] [That afternoon, you feel violent tremors]

[The earth cracks inch by inch, rocks fall from above, the giant illumination source is damaged, and the camp is plunged into darkness. There are also huge sounds coming from deep within the cracks] [After counting, a total of 341 people died in this earthquake, 452 people suffered injuries of varying degrees, and 269 people are missing] [The Doomsday Apostles abandon 302 people who are more seriously injured]

[That night, the camp migrates again]

Wang Ran murmured, "The awakening of the giant beasts has caused the Eurasian plate to rupture. There will be more and more earthquakes, and they will become more and more severe."

[Bai Fan is hit by a load-bearing beam due to his bad luck]

"Eh, how is Bai Fan still alive?" He was a bit surprised.

He remembered that Bai Fan had accidentally ingested pollen and should have been dead. He didn't know what method was used to escape death, but somehow he was still able to have another round of bad luck.

Bai Fan attracted Wang Ran's attention.

The text continued to scroll.

[Day 13, you encounter an even more violent earthquake]

[Over 1000 people perish]

[The Doomsday Apostles abandon the injured who cannot walk]

[The camp continues to migrate]

[Due to his bad luck, Bai Fan discovers that his girlfriend is cheating with his brother's girlfriend's male best friend]

"Ah, this!" The amount of information was too much, causing Wang Ran to not immediately react to who exactly was cheating on whom.

Compared to Bai Fan's experiences,

The situation on the Doomsday Apostles' side was utterly unremarkable,

Just earthquakes and deaths.

[Day 14, no earthquake occurred today]

[The Doomsday Apostles took a brief rest]

[You notice that even in such difficult times, the Doomsday Apostles still haven't abandoned the cumbersome bronze door] [Due to his bad luck, Bai Fan is hit by stray bullets 124 times]

"Good grief, you couldn't hit that many times even if you were aiming!" Wang Ran complained, "And this is called a bit of bad luck?" At this moment,

He deeply realized the power of the purple talent.

"Surely he must be dead this time?"

[Day 15, the earthquakes on this day seemed endless. You encountered sixteen earthquakes in a row, but fortunately, the magnitudes were not high] [You only lost over 800 people]

[There were still earthquakes that night, but everyone resigned themselves to fate, lying motionless on the ground while sleeping]

Wang Ran stared intently at the bottom of the text box. He no longer cared about the casualties of the Doomsday Apostles in the earthquakes. Now he was just curious whether Bai Fan had died or not.

[Due to his bad luck, Bai Fan...]

"He's still alive!" Wang Ran felt very surprised.

[Due to his bad luck, Bai Fan encounters Doomsday Apostles One, Two, Three, Five, Seven, Nine, and Leader Zero]
