Lord of End of World Chapter 140

Half a month later, Long Snake Island changed again. This time, the noise was far more intense than the last battle between the pythons and fire crows. Everyone on the island gathered on the side of the cliff, stunned as they stared at the shocking scene on the beach with horror. Even the crows that normally loved to be noisy had become quiet and dared not fly far from their nest.

When Gong Lixin and Father Gong arrived, the people spontaneously spread to let them both pa.s.s through, allowing them to reach the cliff without any obstruction. Looking at the beach along with the rest of the crowd, even with all his effort, the hard-hearted teenager couldn't help widening his eyes, shocked by the spectacular scene below. Father Gong's complexion became extremely horrified.

All of them saw that the whole beach was occupied by hundreds of pythons, big and small. They surrounded the female python and swayed their thick and long body in an attempt to win the right to entangle with the female python. They were intertwined with each other, making it hard to see where one ended and the other began and creating a huge wall of scaled muscles rolling on the beach. They occasionally b.u.mped into the cliff walls, causing rocks to fall and sending the fire crows flying. Even the people standing on top of the cliff felt the vibration under their feet.

The ball of muscles rolled across the beach, leaving a deep ravine before falling into the sea. When they found that they movement was smoother in the sea, the female python dived deeper into the water. Numerous male snakes huddled together from time to time to catch up. They raised their heads from the water, opened their mouths to let out a hiss before slapped the surface of the sea with their thick tails, causing huge waves. That scene was like the true reproduction of "Jialong Xiashui" from the mythological stories which shocked them all.

"F**k." Father Gong murmured.

"Presumably, this female python will lay eggs on the island and Long Snake Island will become a world only for the fire crows and pythons." Jin Shangyu stared at the grand scene of snakes dancing in the sea and sighed.

"How are the drugs coming along?" Gong Lixin glance at her from the side.

"It's almost done. They will be ready in half a month." Jin Shangyu said firmly.

"Thanks for the hard work." Gong Lixin nodded and looked to his father. He said, "Dad, call everyone to a meeting. Tell them we need to get ready to move."

Father Gong nodded and signaled the guards around him to go to the broadcast room to issue a notice.

The leaders of the various ability users team and the heads of the districts knew that the situation was sensitive. When they heard the broadcast, they all rushed to the meeting room. Everyone gathered there and talked in small voices amongst each other, all carrying a worried expression on their faces.

Gong Lixin's arrival seemed to be like a tranquilizer, calming the restless crowd instantly. The worry on their faces subsided as well. Seeing the smile on the teenager's face as usual, they felt relaxed and secretly told themselves: Young Master Gong's not panicking, so why were they? In all things, listening to Young Master Gong's arrangement was always the correct path. Hasn't the base been able to survive this way until today?

Seeing everyone's calm reaction, Gong Lixin nodded with satisfaction and looked towards Father Gong. Father Gong reached out his hand and gave up his position deputy before he seated himself. After more than a month of hard work, his son was becoming more and more befitting of being a leader. Although his son's straightforward nature hasn't changed, he knew how to differentiate good from bad and was decisive. He was more suitable for the position of leader than him. After careful observation, Father Gong had to admit that his son was not like him, but his son's righteousness and somewhat evil character were more suitable in order to survive in today's troubled world, unlike him.

Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran wanted to take the deputy position on either side of the teenager, but the brother and sister pair of the Jin family seized the opportunity, so they had to sit down to face the three. After Gong Lixin's careful training, Jin Shanghui became more and more sensual and distracting. Right then, he obediently sat next to the youth, holding a bag of nuclei in his hand, eating them by the mouthful, as if they were candy. The soft and handsome face showed an innocent and ignorant expression that made him look both attractive yet annoying. Gong Lixin smiled at the sight.

Seeing that Jin Shanghui was able to stay calm and accompany him to the meeting, Gong Lixin touched his head, satisfied, before looking to the public, He straightforwardly said, "Today, we called you here to discuss the matter of migration. Now, the situation on the future situation of the island is very clear and its imperative that we move. For that reason, I have come to ask everyone's opinion on where to move."

Gong Lixin looked at the guard at the door. The guard understood and took out a huge map of Country C, spreading it on the table. Everyone helped flatten the map and stepped forward to check it out, each having their own thoughts.

"Let's move in the direction of the Northeast Plain. It's not far from Long Snake Island, so there's no need to travel a long distance. Moreover, the Northeast Plain had fertile lands and developed agriculture. From there, we can go and take food from other places close to it, making it so that we'll have enough to feed our base of a few thousand people." The captain of an ability user team said after a moment of thought.

"The general direction is fine and I'm also in favor of moving to the Northeast Plain, but with so many cities there, which one do we occupy?" Father Gong asked.

"Simple, let's head to Song family base in Liaocheng. They moved there over half a month ago. I heard that there's more than 20000 people in their base, 3000 of them are ability users and they also have a lot of fire arms. They had gone and wiped out all the zombies around Liaocheng and turned it into a safe zone. We have insufficient manpower and fire arms. I'm afraid that we cannot occupy a city on our own, so we might as well merge into Liaocheng." A district chief said slowly.

Gong Xiangyi, sitting in the last seat, was shocked and asked quickly, "Song family's base? Which Song family?"

"My family's." Song Haoran said with a deep voice as he tapped the desk with his fingers. He and Lin Wenbo didn't open their mouths to comment this whole time, just because they had noticed it a while ago. The teenager's eyelids were slightly closed and his face had a determined expression. It seemed that he had already made a decision. As for Dou Heng, his eyes were drooping and his expression was blank as he sat on his chair like a sculpture as he waited for the teenager to make a final decision.

"Wasn't the Song family not in Xiangcui Bay? How could they are in Liaocheng?" Gong Xiangyi whispered in disbelief.

"Didn't you pay attention to the news from the intelligence department? Xiangcui Bay Base's situation is just like Long Snake Island's. They've been occupied by mutant army ants. They didn't want to get bitten by the marching ants and had to move elsewhere." Song Haoran threw a pile of reports to Gong Xiangyi.

Gong Xiangyi quickly turned over, her face sinking at the news. Mutant army ants; they had appeared in her previous life, but at that time, the Little Demon had already been brought to Xiangcui Bay Base by Song Haoxuan. The Little Demon had made a powerful insect repellent that drove away the army ants out of the desert. Now though, the Little Demon was on Long Snake Island, so the base in Xiangcui Bay was naturally destroyed. Destiny was so interlocked that such a small change caused such a huge reaction.

However, no matter how drastic the change of fate was, Gong Xiangyi seemed unable to break away from the original path she had taken, making it seem she was still in her previous life, as she was forced to meet with the source of her nightmares. "No, we can't go to Liaocheng!" Her fear and anxiety was close to the forefront of her mind and she opened her mouth to shout it out.

She went crazy again! The people in the surprisingly quiet meeting room ignored her, but turned their heads to look at the teenager sitting at the head seat. They watched him with unwavering trust on their faces. It seemed that as long as the teenager spoke, no matter what the decision was, they would follow.

Seeing this, Gong Xiangyi looked at Gong Lixin with pleading eyes.

"We're not going to Liaocheng." Gong Lixin raised his sight to look around the crowd and spoke lightly. He then pointed his pale finger to somewhere on the map. His words were very clear as he said, "We'll go here."

All eyes gathered where his finger were, before showing an incredulous expression.

"Ningcheng? We can't go to Ningcheng!" One district chief shouted and the others nodded in agreement.

They all knew that Ningcheng was occupied by several king kong plants in the early stage of the apocalypse and now, more than two years, nearly three, have pa.s.sed, the city had already become the world of countless king kong vines. All living things that tried to get close, whether human or zombie, would be send flying into the sky or swimming in the water before being tangled by the vines and turned into lifeless bones.

Ningcheng was a death city, the place to avoid in Country C. This was a common fact known to all survivors in Country C.

Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran didn't speak. They waited for the teenager's reasonable explanation. They knew that although the teenager was not good at planning, his mind was quite smart. He would not do such a stupid thing as letting everyone die. Dou Heng finally looked up and at the teenager, his eyes held no doubt, only trust and support.

Gong Lixin didn't explain, he simply pointed towards and window, "Take a look below."

Despite the doubts in people's minds, they obediently walked to the window and looked down. Below, their vision saw green. Several Self-Defense Force's members were in camouflage clothes and stood on the already mowed lawn. They held a small bottle in their hands. Seeing that the people in the meeting room were at the window, they immediately sprayed themselves with the content of the bottle.

Luo Dahai stood opposite of them and, when they were ready, threw a brown seed towards them. The seed grew in the air, swelled up before exploding. Green vines spread like a tide and went all over the place.

"It's king kong vine! How could he unleash the king kong vine?" There was a scream and that person's heart was at his throat. The rest were also equally horrified.

But soon, the look of horror on their faces turned into consternation, then was replaced by disbelief. They saw the king kong vines spreading out. It touched several members of the Self Defense Force, but didn't entangle them. Rather, it moved past them like flowing water. At first, some of the team members were nervous, but when they saw this, they tried to move. Wherever they went, the vines automatically avoided them with no intention of attacking them.

"How did this happen?" The crowd turned around and looked at the teenager sitting at the head. Even Gong Yuanhang, Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran were shocked. Obviously, they hadn't heard about the details from the teenager in advance.

"It's because of the solution in that bottle." Lin Wenbo slowly walked back to his original seat and said firmly after pondering for a moment.

"Congratulations, you guessed right!" Jin Shangyu clapped her hands with a grin. Her own drugs had such a surprising effect. Even if she had tried it several times in private, she still felt proud of her accomplishment.

Downstairs, Luo Dahai, who had already reached fourth-level low-grade and could now comfortably control the plants, calmed down the restless king kong vines and shouted towards the window, "Boss, burn it up!"

Gong Lixin raised his eyes. While still staying seated, he flicked a white spark out of the window and onto the king kong with his fingers. The fire quickly ignited and burned the thriving green vine into ashes.

"Sit down." Gong Lixin ordered the dumbstruck people to their seat. He then looked at Jin Shangyu and waved, "Explain it to them."

"In fact, it's very simply. Doesn't king kong vine love eating all living things? But we found that its vines are also alive, but they haven't tried entangling each other, but rather spread around each other in an orderly manner. There must be something there, so that they avoided harming themselves. So we crushed king kong vines and extracted the juice to a.n.a.lyze it and finally made this drug. As long as it's sprayed on, we can come and go into Ningcheng freely without fearing about being attacked by king kong vines."

When her words fell, Jin Shangyu looked at the young man and patted his head to her right. "Of course, I must thank Young Master Gong for his a.s.sistance. If it was not for Young Master Gong's extraordinary strength, I couldn't have squeezed the juice of king kong vines and this drug would not exist."

The crowd had already returned to reality, so after hearing Jin Shangyu's words, their expression showed their admiration. The cult of wors.h.i.+p on Long Snake Island was severe. She had noticed it long ago, but it didn't hinder the development of the base. Instead, this wors.h.i.+p closely united everyone on the base so that they could support each other and live together during the apocalyptic days. She liked this atmosphere very much. It made her feel at home.

"In this way, moving to Ningcheng is the best choice. There are no living creatures in Ningcheng, so we can settle down as soon as we enter. The materials in the city had not been moved, so it must be quite rich in resources inside. And most importantly, I heard that Ningcheng's strategic granary was the largest in the Northeast Plain, with enough grain in it to last us seven or eight years." Song Haoran slowly tapped table with a relaxed smile on his face.

"We'll burn the king kong vines on the inside and leave the outer vines be, so that it can be used as a natural defense line for the base. It'll save a lot of our force and keep us safe. It's a perfect choice." Lin Wenbo added.

The crowd suppressed their joy and focused on the head. They didn't expect Young Master Gong to give them such a big surprise this meeting. However, what they didn't expect was that that wasn't all, there was more surprises to come. When they received the pharmacology, report handed over by Young Master Gong, they were completely dumbfounded and could not believe their eyes.

If everything that's written in the report is true, not just their base but even the whole of humanity was saved. Although this report was thin and light, it held the dawn of their survival; in another sense, it was Noah's Ark.

CrazedCookies: THE CULT HAS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED!!! Also, thank you Sareth Pruek for the Ko-Fi!
