“I’m not feeling well. I’m going back to my room,” Lin Wenwen stood up from the couch and walked upstairs.
“A-are you okay? Is there’s a problem with Xinxin’s body?” Dong Lijia stood up as well and looked at her with concern. What he was more worried about was Dong Xinxin’s health of course.
“Relax! Your sister is perfectly healthy. It’s my problem. This won’t happen again when I leave,” Lin Wenwen took a deep breath and then responded to him with a frown.
She was thinking about the image she saw about Deng Chenfei and Lin Feng, wondering what happened to her brother and what was his relationship with Deng Chenfei. What she saw was the future, so Deng Chenfei, Dong Lijia, and his sister should all be able to survive.
The conversation she heard was short, but it contained a massive amount of information. What did Deng Chenfei see? He mentioned something too dangerous to be approached, and he seemed guilty.
His words delivered a message that something bad had happened, and it was too late for him to save the situation.
Lin Feng agitatedly asked him if ‘they’ were still alive. ‘They’ and ‘alive’ were two keywords. Lin Wenwen had no idea who ‘they’ were. Those people that Lin Feng was worried about might have encountered some kind of life-threatening danger. That was why Lin Feng asked Deng Chenfei so nervously if they were still alive.
After watching Lin Wenwen leave while thinking about something seemingly so important, Dong Lijia turned to the other two as he sat down and said, “Do you have any other questions? Ask all your questions now, because we’ll be leaving tonight.”
“Leave? Where?” Luo Yuanjun immediately asked him.
“Sea City,” said Dong Lijia.
Luo Yuanjun and Deng Chenfei glanced at each other. They felt that they needed to go back home and take some time to process what they had learned today. Should they believe Dong Lijia or not? What he said didn’t sound possible at all. But, what if it were real? What if the apocalypse would really happen? They would certainly regret not believing their friend!
“You said there’ll be a virus infection, so I assume it should start from only one region. How come the whole world will suddenly be infected?” Deng Chenfei tried to believe it, but he had to figure out exactly why.
According to Dong Lijia, the whole world would be occupied by zombies. It would require a certain span of time for the virus to spread, wouldn’t it?
“Oh, the girls said the virus won’t be leaked from a lab. Instead, it’ll be some kind of gas coming from the underground, mixing with the air, and causing all living creatures on the earth’s surface to mutate.” Dong Lijia didn’t know what exactly would be happening yet, so he told the exact words that Dong Xinxin and Lin Wenwen said to his friends.
“From the underground? What does that mean? Not man-made? Are you saying that it’s gonna be a natural disaster?” Deng Chenfei looked at him with surprise. That was different from what he thought.
“Not man-made… What kind of man-made disaster can destroy the whole world within just one night?” Dong Lijia waved a hand at him.
Luo Yuanjun looked at Dong Lijia, then at Deng Chenfei. After staying silent for quite a while, he finally started talking again, “A natural disaster? How will it happen? Really?”
Dong Lijia gave him a glare and responded, “Believe it or not, but I’ve talked a lot. I’m done talking now. Since you don’t even believe me, why do you care how it will happen?”
Luo Yuanjun looked at him and struggled, “But, who would believe something like that? It doesn’t sound like anything that can happen for real.”
He wanted to believe it, but how could he? Some kind of gas coming out from the underground, turning into virus, and then ending the world? What the hell was that? He would believe it if Dong Lijia told him that the world would end in a relatively normal way.
If that kind of gas existed underground, the geologists would have discovered it long ago!
“Then you tell me, how did Dong Xinxin become like this within such a short time? I believe my sister. She wouldn’t lie to me, nor make this kind of joke with me.” As Luo Yuanjun still didn’t believe him, Dong Lijia started losing patience. His tone of speaking grew cold as well.
“I’ll go home and think about it,” Deng Chenfei suddenly stood up and said to Dong Lijia. He wasn’t so sure anymore. He wanted to believe Dong Lijia, but still had some questions. Only after he had figured everything out could he make his judgment.
After saying that, he walked outside.
Seeing Deng Chenfei leave, Luo Yuanjun looked at Dong Lijia with hesitation, then said, “I’ll go back and think about it too. We still have about two weeks, right? I’ll have two strings to my bow, okay? Let’s see if what you said will really happen in half a month!”
He didn’t know if he should believe Dong Lijia or not, so he decided to do some preparation as he waited.
While leaving Dong Lijia’s place, Deng Chenfei was thinking about the same thing as Luo Yuanjun. However, after spending a night pondering, he decided to believe the former. He started purchasing food, gasoline, and replacing his vehicles as quickly as possible. In the meanwhile, he also began to sell out his properties.
He was from a super rich family. It took him less time to do those things than it took Dong Lijia; however, the processes were still very complicated. In order to get the money as soon as possible, he had to sell his properties at very low prices.
Anyhow, two weeks were still not enough.
Luo Yuanjun didn’t have so many works to do, because his family business wasn’t run by him. Instead, it was all under the management of his father and big brother. He had no way to dip fingers in his family business, so he didn’t have any business to sell.
He took out his own money. He never worked hard, but he was good at investing in stocks. Hence, he was rich as well.
After withdrawing the money from the stock market, he spent some time imagining the post-apocalyptic world, then took out a piece of paper and made a list of food, weapon, vehicles, and some daily supplies. For vehicles, he wrote down off-road cars, trucks. Gasoline was, of course, in his shopping list. For weapons, he would need Deng Chenfei’s help.
Sadly, he didn’t have too much money to spend, and could afford only one helicopter.
After making the list, he suddenly thought of what Dong Lijia had done.
“Damn! No wonder he told us to look for them! I’ll definitely do that!” Dong Family had sold out their business and everything valuable owned by the family. The mansion was probably mortgaged to the bank for a big sum of money too. They had used all the money to buy food, weapon, and other supplies. They were fully prepared already! The apocalypse was not a threat to them anymore!
Luo Yuanjun decided that if the apocalypse happened for real, he would go directly to Sea City to find Dong Lijia and his family!
