Rebirth before the doomsday: I quietly emptied the city of supplies

After the service, Chen Gui took off his mask and looked outside. He made a decision today. He wanted to devour the crystal core and try to become a superpower.

There are still more than 200 members of the Shenlong Sect left.

Although we can live in the shopping mall for the time being, food is becoming increasingly scarce.

Previously, the dragon had sent many aquatic creatures, including large marine fish and mollusks. Even an octopus monster that looked like a small house was sent to the shore and became food for everyone.

But after the Ice Age, the dragon sent the dragon ball back to the sea and never appeared again. In addition, the extremely cold weather froze the entire sea.

Everyone speculated that the dragon might have given the dragon ball to these humans, and it itself was frozen in the sea. People were worried. But there was nothing they could do. Anyone who went out would die.

The only way to survive is to stay in the mall, unless you become a superpower.

But from the information I got from Chen Yu, there is a high probability of failure in becoming a superpower. The price is life. Therefore, I am in a dilemma.

If we continue like this, the food will eventually run out. Who will go out to look for food when that happens? What about the crystal cores?

As long as they are not at the end of their rope, it is difficult for people to gamble with their lives. Many people even firmly believe that when they are really at the end of their rope, the dragon will come to save them.

As long as they pray sincerely every day.

There are many people who hold this belief.

Therefore, Chen Gui decided to take the risk.

On the day the ice age came, the great elder Sun Tieben did not survive and froze to death.

As the only son-in-law of the great elder, Chen Gui deservedly became the new leader of the Shenlong Sect.

At the same time, his wife Sun Ling became unexpectedly pregnant.

This was also an opportunity for Chen Gui to make up his mind.

Now that the little life has come, no one would have the heart to send him away.

Just come.

Then try to keep him alive.

So, become a mutant.

Take a chance on fate.

...

The prayer is over.

Chen Gui returned to his love nest with a solemn expression. Inside, Sun Ling was lying quietly on the floor.

It was obviously not appropriate to get pregnant at this time, so her fetus was not stable.

I could only lie on the floor every day to recuperate. At this time, there was almost no medicine left. I was at the end of my rope.

But in Sun Ling's own words, if she hadn't suddenly gotten pregnant with this child, she might have given up long ago. This child might be a lucky star. Entered the room.

Sun Ling looked up and said, "Ah Gui, is the prayer over?"

"Ah."

"Are they still very pious?"

"Correct."

Chen Gui let out a long sigh, poured a glass of water for Sun Ling, and brought it to her: "Drink some water."

"Forget it, I'd better not drink it. I'm not that thirsty yet. We are running out of fresh water. Let's save it."

"It's okay, just drink."

Chen Gui patted her arm and said, "You are not thirsty, but the baby may be thirsty. Besides, if you don't drink, others are desperately drinking. Now, you are more important than others." "Ah Gui, have you really decided?"

Sun Ling looked at Chen Gui with red eyes.

"Well, it's decided."

"But if you fail, what will happen to us?"

Chen Gui pondered for a moment and said softly, "Lingzi, if I don't try, all the supplies will run out in two months at most. At that time, if the dragon doesn't appear, do you know what will happen?"

"..."

Sun Ling said nothing.

Chen Gui said calmly: "At that time, people's faith will collapse. Some people will go to extremes and become cannibals who eat human flesh." Sun Ling's face turned pale.

It's not that she can't think of it, she just doesn't want to think about it.

"So, I have to give it a try before it gets too difficult. If I fail, you should try to abort the baby. It's hopeless. You can decide what to do next."

"woo woo woo woo."

Sun Ling started to cry softly. Chen Gui felt sorry for her, but he had no other choice.

This is the end of the world, not a time to be petty.

Chen Gui took a deep breath, turned around, took out a gun and five magazines from his backpack, and gently placed them next to Sun Ling's pillow.

"I'm going to find a place to devour the crystal core. You keep these weapons for self-defense. Don't tell anyone. Because this may be the only gun in this mall. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Ah."

Sun Ling tightly grasped Chen Gui's sleeves and buried her face in his arms. Chen Gui gently held her shoulders. After a moment.

Chen Gui hardened his heart, broke free from Sun Ling's hand, turned around and walked out resolutely. Outside, many people were walking around in the corridor.

Some people even talked and laughed.

They were undeniably devout.

But Chen Gui felt more and more disheartened.

Because these people are so pious that they are foolish. No one is worried about the future. No one is trying to solve the hidden dangers.

Every time Chen Gui convened the main responsible persons to discuss future plans, these people stared at the dragon ball outside and then began to pray. After the prayer, the meeting was adjourned.

They lived happily every day, eating whatever they wanted and drinking whatever they wanted.

Although no one in the mall had any selfish or evil intentions, and it was as harmonious as a communist society, Chen Gui still felt uneasy and more and more frightened.

He himself didn't know why he and Sun Ling were the only ones who didn't enter this state. The others seemed to have entered an extreme state of self-hypnosis.

It is almost foreseeable that when their faith collapses, these extreme people will definitely go to another extreme and completely lose their humanity. Unfortunately, ordinary people can't get out now. You can't avoid it even if you want to.

This is why Chen Gui left his only firearm to Sun Ling. He had kept the gun and magazine for many years and never used them. Now, they might finally come in handy.

……

As soon as you go out.

I met a few old women head on.

These old women all had mysterious and terrifying smiles on their faces, and they all nodded politely at Chen Gui: "Grand Elder." "Grand Elder, where are you going?"

"Great Elder, during today's prayer, my son seemed to have auditory hallucinations. He said he heard the roar of a dragon. Do you think my son will be the next elder?"

"Great Elder, you don't look very good?"

"What are you talking about? The Great Elder has had a spiritual exchange with the Dragon, that must be the case. Right, Great Elder?" "Great Elder, is it time for the Dragon to come?"

……

Chen Gui's scalp tingled when he heard the word "Great Elder".

He resisted the urge to vomit, gritted his teeth and said a few perfunctory words, pushed everyone aside and hurried upstairs. There was an attic on the top floor of the mall. That was the elder's private space. It was closest to the rooftop. It was also the farthest from the dragon ball. Therefore, it was the coldest there. Chen Gui needed to lock himself there. Once there were signs of mutation, he had to open the skylight, and he could freeze into a human stick in just a few minutes.

This was his plan.
