After The Fall Of The Earth, My Hotel Became Popular - Chapter 98

Chapter 98 – The Second Apocalypse

　　A dull pain arose in everyone’s heart, their first reaction to the situation.

　　　What follows is a mixture of the extremely creepy sense of crisis and fear that creatures feel when facing danger.

　　Wen Bei looked at them all covering their hearts, their faces turning pale, and among them, Wendy’s reaction was the mildest.

　　Through his special ability, Wen Bei knows the details of everyone here, and the people with the highest degree of pollution and the most powerful and difficult to control abilities have the strongest reactions.

　　It was almost impossible for them to even stand still.

　　Wen Bei, who was pure, incorporated by pollution, was the only one who was insensitive to the sudden surge of blood clouds.

　　It was like watching an absurd pantomime, with him standing in the middle and everyone else being strangled by the throat.

　　”What happened?” Deng Se shouted in horror. He grabbed the front of his clothes, gasped for breath, and his eyes bulged outward, like a dying fish thrown onto the shore.

　　Wendy was stunned for a moment, then ran out like crazy.

　　The few polluters who had been protecting her wanted to catch up, but at this critical moment, they were no better than an ordinary person without special powers.

　　Wen Bei also followed her out.

　　When he saw the scene in the square outside, he was speechless for a moment.

　　The square was densely packed with people.

　　”Save us! Where is the healing polluter?”

　　”What happened? Why is the sky red!?”

　　”It’s the second apocalypse! It must be the second apocalypse! We are all going to die here.”

　　They were screaming and some were running everywhere.

　　Wen Bei quickly helped hold up a child, preventing her from being trampled.

　　The child’s eyes only had whites, so she couldn’t see Wen Bei clearly. Wen Bei could only hold the little girl tightly in his arms. The strange clouds in the sky also affected the child, and she endured the pain silently.

　　Her mother quickly ran over, picked up the child, and was dispersed by the crowd before she could thank him.

　　Wen Bei couldn’t stand steadily for a moment, and then his back suddenly leaned against a familiar chest. He knew who it was without looking back.

　　A very steady voice came: “It is the breath of a super S-level filth.”

　　The gap between filth widens as one goes up the scale.

　　What a terrifying existence it must be to be described as an S-level filth by Qiu Tin.

　　Wen Bei raised his head and looked at the blood-red cloud that completely covered the sky: “But why…”

　　Qiu Tin: “I was imprisoned for 24 hours, I was unable to detect it in advance.”

　　Wen Bei was stunned for a moment, and finally remembered that the place where polluters were detained in each base was made of special materials.

　　That material is the same as the barrier container used by the research institute to contain filth. It suppresses the filth while also having the ability to weaken the polluters to a certain extent.

　　No wonder Deng Se found out that he was not from the Yi Guang base, and his first guess was that he was related to the Holy Progressive Church.

　　All of these things are linked together, with the goal of tying him up in this base.

　　Unfortunately, they were not aware of the Hotel’s warping function and thought that he would not be able to enter the Hotel unless he returned to the store.

　　Whenever he wanted, he could now summon the door that only he and his staff could enter.

　　But these people are finished.

　　Wen Bei looked around at the polluters whose reactions were getting stronger and stronger. Only Wendy, who was standing next to him, was still sober.

　　Wendy also realized that they were the only ones who could still remain sane here. She was very smart and quickly determined that this was mainly a disaster targeting the polluters.

　　Without caring why they broke free of their shackles, Wendy’s nails almost dug into their flesh, and she maintained the sober rationality that a senior staff member should have: “Area A is the main disaster area, and the response in Area BC should be relatively small. Open the area interconnection for me! Organize volunteers in Area B and C to maintain order.”

　　There are also Security Council personnel in the other regions, but most of them are ordinary people who can only catch thieves and manage minor matters.

　　There is a chain of contempt even within the Security Council, and at this moment, an unexpected turn of events reveals its extraordinary importance.

　　Deng Se also stumbled out, his face turned so pale when he heard the words that he looked like he would die in the next second.

　　Upon hearing this, he immediately objected: “No! If the polluters in Area A get out of control, all the people in Area B and C won’t be able to survive!”

　　Why does he start to care about ordinary people at this time?

　　Wen Bei looked at him in surprise.

　　Deng Se sat down slowly. “My eldest daughter was placed in Area B. My ex-wife is also there. We have already lost a son. I cannot lose them again.”

　　Wendy was almost laughing out of anger: “To put it bluntly, you are still selfish.”

　　He looks down on ordinary people and thinks that they should be inferior to polluters. That’s because he thinks he has the ability to protect his relatives. As for other ordinary people and the families of other polluters, he has never taken them seriously.

　　When such a serious incident happened, he still chose the polluters over his family.

　　Humans are such contradictory creatures.

　　In his eyes, the differentiation of priorities is entirely based on his own values.

　　”That’s a living life!” Wendy couldn’t bear it anymore and finally did what she had always wanted to do. She punched him hard in the face.

　　Deng Se wanted to fight back, but then he found that his fire-based abilities were difficult to use.

　　He could feel it still inside him, but the flame could not be emitted.

　　All the polluters who followed Wendy had no second thoughts about her decisions, so when they were fighting, the people in the B and C Area received orders and began to dispatch personnel over.

　　They could also feel the discomfort in their bodies, but the reactions were not as strong. It was only after they came over that they realized what a hell on earth scene this was.

　　It turned out that Wendy’s impromptu decision was not a problem.

　　Most of the polluters lost their ability to move due to the sudden pain, let alone losing control and killing people. Even their own health points were constantly decreasing.

　　If it weren’t for the large number of medical staff coming from the B and C Area, many people might have died while lying on the ground twitching.

　　Despite such an obvious group infection reaction, the contamination level on the detection ring did not change at all.

　　”In front! In front!”

　　Deng Se lay on the ground, breathing heavily, his pale face turning into liver purple.

　　Wen Bei looked in the direction he pointed, and saw three people appear in the center of the square at some point.

　　The white robes they wore were too conspicuous to be ignored.

　　Most of the crowd had just been urgently taken away, and there were only a few of them left in the square.

　　The leader took off his hood, revealing half of his body connected to the female corpse, which was hideous and ugly: “Ah, what a pity, it seems that I am a little late.”

　　After the initial panic, most of the polluters have now been organized and relocated to appropriate places.

　　But over time, there will still be unpredictable casualties.

　　He glanced at the “person” next to him and smiled inexplicably: “You seem to enjoy it. You can integrate so many polluters, just like those filth.”

　　It was unclear whether the creature next to him could still be called a human. The skin all over its body was marble-like in texture and had no hair. As he got closer step by step, Wendy, as an ordinary person, could feel the discomfort getting worse.

　　Several polluters nearby instinctively tried to protect her, and their facial features began to bleed, with their reactions even more violent than hers.

　　Until Wen Bei took a step forward.

　　He stood in front of the three men, his expression very calm: “What do you want to do?”

　　The atmosphere froze strangely, the blood clouds in the sky rolled again, lightning and thunder began, a few phoenixes flew over and fell down without warning, their corpses stiffened and petrified.

　　Wen Bei stared at the petrified birds and had a bad feeling in his heart.

　　Leader: “Offer the Evolved as tribute to our false gods, and kill those who abandon them.”

　　Behind him, more and more people in white robes were transferred over through space-related abilities. No matter how horribly deformed their bodies were, they all wore white robes.

　　These people are all dying with pollution levels exceeding ninety-five.

　　The man who was called a false god did not move at all, and even his breathing was extremely subtle, like some precious but mindless ceramic.

　　The leader had no respect for him at all. When he mentioned him, it wasn’t like he was talking about the “God” he created, but more like some kind of weapon that he used extremely well.

　　Wen Bei: “You guys step aside for a moment.”

　　He was talking to Wendy.

　　The murderous intent in the air had condensed so much that it almost became a physical entity. Wendy did not hesitate at all. When she turned around and left, she did not forget to drag along Deng Sai, who was already in a deep coma.

　　•|•

　　The leader looked at his fox ears and said, “I am very curious about your true identity, are you an abandoned one or an evolved one?”

　　Wen Bei sneered: “What is the difference between the two?”

　　”Those who possess abilities are evolvers, and they are the ones who can enter a new world.” The leader’s words did not conceal his arrogance and prejudice, “And those who cannot evolve abilities throughout their lives, even if they are contaminated to death, are the abandoned people.”

　　”Since you think the polluters are evolved, why do you want to kill them?”

　　Wen Bei held a black gun and slowly loaded it.

　　No one took his weapons seriously. Even bullets with high-strength physical characteristics that could target polluters were difficult to hit in the face of abilities.

　　Leader: “If we want to enter a new era, someone must sacrifice. This group of people is just one of the tributes.”

　　He smiled, as if being merged into the false god was a supreme honor.

　　Wen Bei’s forehead twitched, and he couldn’t help but curse: “Stop farting!”

　　Almost at the moment when he cursed, he and Qiu Tin attacked at the same time.

　　The sound of gunfire was heard. A man in a white robe had just used his iron ability to protect his body, but Wen Bei used his ability to take away control of his body. Not only were all the defenses on his body removed, but countless steel bars rose from the ground and stabbed his companions, forcing them to stop attacking Wen Bei and switch to defense.

　　Wen Bei held the gun in one hand and fired several shots without blinking. All the bullets penetrated the body of the white-robed man who had lost all defense, and his flesh and blood blurred.

　　Blood splattered under his eyelids, but it did not damage his beauty at all. He was as calm as a cold weapon ready to be used at any time.

　　Powerful supernatural fluctuations condensed into quanta, which were different from the polluting power in this world that erupted with enough pressure to distort the surroundings. This fist-sized energy ball directly penetrated the air and fell downwards.

　　The mysterious man who had been following the leader took Qiu Tin’s ruthless attack for him.

　　The space-related supernatural ability was activated, and the black hole instantly submerged the energy body.

　　In a sense, his abilities are also invincible.

　　It is hard to find another person in the world who has the ability to directly twist space. It is difficult to cause harm to him except for psychic abilities.

　　The premise of this kind of “invincibility” is that you cannot encounter the absolute peak of strength.

　　There was no sign of panic on the leader’s face.

　　Qiu Tin raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a somewhat sarcastic expression: “Are you so sure he can block it?”

　　”What?” The leader’s eyes narrowed, and before he could speak, blood began to ooze out of the facial features of the mysterious spaceman.

　　Deafness, blindness…

　　The unpredictable sequelae appeared as a result of him forcibly using his spatial ability to take Qiu Tin’s attack.

　　The leader’s expression remained unchanged. He stretched out his hand and placed it on him. Suddenly, several invisible white lines locked onto him from the soles of his feet upwards until his entire body was repaired.

　　”Gene recombination.” Qiu Tin murmured with interest, “It’s more difficult to deal with than the healing ability.”

　　The only way is to grind it into powder that is invisible to the naked eye, leaving no intact tissue behind.

　　Even if only one eye is left, it is possible to grow a whole new person again if the opportunity is present.

　　Leader: “There are so many people here, and there are only two of you. It’s impossible for you to win.”

　　His tone was so calm that it seemed as if he was just foreshadowing something.

　　Qiu Tin glanced at Wen Bei, who had just finished taking control with his hands. He was panting but his eyes were determined, and he looked particularly sharp.

　　The black hair on his forehead drooped slightly due to sweat, making him look like a well-behaved good student.

　　But the blood on his face abruptly destroyed this harmony.

　　Wen Bei smiled, like a beautiful but poisonous flower standing on the other side of the river, making people dizzy: “Who said there are only two of us?”

　　The leader’s face changed slightly, but it was too late. A red light flashed, and a door he had seen before appeared in the center of the empty square.

　　The [Transition] function is also bidirectional for employees.

　　Ji Mingyuan walked out of the door, holding a white fox and a rabbit wearing a pink suit.

　　If Ji Mingyuan was only one of the strongest in the base before, after being nourished by the Hotel’s various delicacies, hot springs and other high-quality transformation facilities, he is one of the top ones in the world.

　　The same goes for Su Wu and Rabbit Butler.

　　The leader, who had always maintained a certain demeanor, finally showed a faint crack on his face at this moment: “Merge them!”

　　He pointed at the three employees who had suddenly appeared and shouted.

　　The false god standing nearby like a decoration shook his head slowly.

　　Integration takes time.

　　Wen Bei raised the corners of his mouth.

　　He made the right bet.

　　Such a powerful ability cannot be instantaneous.

　　That is to say, it took them at least one night to slowly form the blood cloud in the sky.

　　The addition of his employees caused the originally balanced battle situation to suddenly tilt towards one side.

　　“Hurry up and absorb all those evolvers you have captured!” Seeing this, the leader could only grab the arm of the false god next to him.

　　He raised his unfocused eyes, and the blood cloud above his head began to surge even more violently.

　　New screams began to be heard in the distance. It was a noisy and chaotic scene. It was not difficult to imagine what had happened.

　　There is no count of the number of polluters in the entire Yi Guang base, but the number is at least over ten thousand. If he really has integrated so many people, even the few of them plus Qiu Tin will be powerless to save the situation.

　　The second apocalypse will really come, not as a natural disaster, but as a man-made disaster.

　　Wen Bei was about to speak when black fog began to rise around them until it enveloped the entire square. The speed seemed slow, but in fact, in less than two minutes, they were surrounded by a whole piece of black fog.

　　”Stop.” The man called the false god finally spoke.

　　He only said just one word and then stopped as if waiting.

　　”Don’t you have any way to integrate this pollution?” The leader grabbed his arm very hard, as if he wanted to sink it into his bones.

　　The man still didn’t respond.

　　He couldn’t, and not only that, he had a severe rejection reaction.

　　The man was also disturbed by him.

　　Powerful pollution sources collide with each other in a way that is invisible to the naked eye.

　　Even though no details were leaked, Wen Bei still sensed something was wrong. He turned around and grabbed Qiu Tin’s hand: “Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

　　Shocked and angry.

　　The fox ears on top of his head exploded.

　　He never doubted it at the beginning. After all, Qiu Tin and he were not from this world, and the fusion should not have any effect on them.

　　But he ignored the fact that his own physique was completely opposite to that of the man.

　　One is a pure body without any impurities, and the other is pollution itself.

　　As the source, his fusion power and that of the false god are inherently opposed.

　　From beginning to end, he didn’t show any sign of it.

　　If Wen Bei didn’t know him well enough, it would be difficult for him to notice even if he saw something strange on the other person’s face.

　　Qiu Tin raised his eyebrows: “It’s not serious.”

　　In fact, Qiu Tin’s internal organs felt as if they were being crushed from the moment the blood cloud appeared.

　　However, the pain was alleviated a lot when he saw the young man’s unconscious expression of heartache.

　　He even leaned closer to him with a bit of lightness: “It really doesn’t hurt.”

　　If he deliberately leaned against him with a wronged look on his face, hugged his waist and said it hurt, Wen Bei might still believe it.

　　His face was rarely so gloomy: “Why didn’t you tell me?”

　　Qiu Tin rubbed his frizzy ears and said, “Don’t worry, let’s just kill him and everything will be over.”

　　The black fog began to gather, and in an instant, it pushed out everyone except him and the false god leader.

　　The thick fog formed a new barrier, isolating all of them from the outside.

　　It also hides the terrifying murderous aura inside.

　　Wen Bei raised his foot and dived in again without any hesitation.

　　Until a figure appeared in front of him, and a hoarse voice came from under the hood: “You can’t go over there.”

　　This is the space polluter who has been standing next to the leader.

　　Wen Bei’s eyes were full of violence: “Then I’ll kill you before going in.”

　　There were sounds of fighting all around. It was the rest of the members of the Holy Religion who were fighting with the Rabbit Butler and his men.

　　The surrounding houses were damaged, just like an earthquake.

　　[Transaction amount: 300,000.]

　　【YES】

　　The man suddenly stopped moving. He lost control of his body. Wen Bei threw away the gun without bullets and slashed the black dagger towards his artery.

　　At the critical moment, a scapegoat blocked the attack for him.

　　But his hood, which had been hiding his face tightly, fell off completely, allowing Wen Bei to see the familiar face completely.

　　”Cheng Jie.”

　　Wen Bei stood still for a moment and then read out this somewhat unfamiliar name.

　　He had changed a lot, his body was covered with feathers due to a lot of pollution, but the beak on his mouth was still easy to recognize.

　　The man had lost most of his human features, and even his pupils have completely turned into those of a bird. It looks like a humanoid beast that only appears in mythology.

　　The pair of eyes that used to be dull now seemed to have a lot of different precipitation.

　　Cheng Jie looked at him: “Did I scare you?”

　　Wen Bei sneered: “You became a Faraway Traveler, but I didn’t expect that you didn’t succeed in dying, and turned into this kind of monster.”

　　The young man’s mind was completely focused on the life-or-death battle in the black fog, and his tone of voice was as sharp as a little hedgehog with its entire body covered in spikes.

　　What the little hedgehog wanted to protect was not himself, but the person in the black fog.

　　Cheng Jie looked at him, his body still stiff from being controlled for two minutes, he even showed a helpless expression: “Are you angry?”

　　Wen Bei raised the corners of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes: “Yes.”

　　There was a “whoosh” sound, which was the sound of the knife sinking into the flesh.

　　Warm blood splashed again.

　　Wen Bei closed his right eye slightly because of the stinging pain, with an expressionless face, as if he was just cutting a piece of cake.

　　Although he was not controlled by any ability, Cheng Jie remained motionless. He has always been a strange person.

　　When he was left behind as a traveler, he actually still had a breath of air in his throat. However, the executor felt that with such serious injuries, he would die in less than three minutes, so he was immediately stamped with the death stamp.

　　Then the leader appeared in front of him, and genetic recombination directly brought him back from the near-death state.

　　Just like this experience of being close to death, his supernatural powers underwent an extremely rare second evolution.

　　Up to this moment, he had completed all the things he had promised to do for the Master, and finally he no longer had to act as a confidant.

　　In fact, he also knows that he is a very strange person.

　　But he just wanted to use his real identity to say a few words to Wen Bei.

　　He wanted to tell Wen Bei that if he didn’t like human meat soup in the future he could stop making it.

　　Could he please not hate him like everyone else did?

　　Cheng Jie didn’t say what he really thought, and looked at Wen Bei without blinking: “That man is not your brother, what is your relationship with him?”

　　He didn’t care at all that his heart was in the hands of the young man in front of him.

　　Wen Bei tilted his head: “I think… he is my lover.”

　　There was a slight puffing sound.

　　Wen Bei withdrew his bloody hand with internal organs fragments on it and felt that the surroundings were terribly cold.

　　Even if his heart was broken, as a high-level polluter, Cheng Jiewould not die so easily.

　　Wen Bei didn’t even look at his lingering breath and stood up.

　　The reason why he was left with a breath was not because he was soft-hearted, but because he wanted to leave him to the Security Council to deal with.

　　Cheng Jie is a death row prisoner in the H City base. Such a person not only survived, but also appeared as an important part of this man-made disaster.

　　Without his special ability, none of these people would have been able to enter Yi Guang.

　　Even the most heavily guarded base in the world cannot defend against the elusive space-related abilities.

　　The moment Cheng Jie was dealt with, the surroundings fell into silence.

　　Wen Bei turned around and found that the rest of the people had been suppressed by Ji Mingyuan and his men.

　　All the white hair on Su Wu’s body was stained with blood.

　　He cursed, “I’ve never fought so many high-level polluters in my f**king life.”

　　Each of these people had a pollution level of over ninety-five.

　　Wen Bei squatted down and smoothed his fur with his other clean hand: “How can I help him?”

　　His voice was full of confusion, completely lacking the tense aura that he had just had.

　　When facing his employees, he showed an extremely rare uneasiness.

　　The Rabbit Butler turned back to its normal size and jumped to his side: “Remove the seal. The seal has sealed part of his power. His body is the source of pollution in a certain world.”

　　Wen Bei’s eyes widened slightly, and he murmured to himself: “Should I lift the seal?”

　　He was clearly reflected in the red pupils of the Rabbit Butler: “Yes, but you must understand one thing, one world cannot accommodate two kinds of pollution.”

　　”Choosing to lift the seal means you have to trust him enough. Otherwise, once he has the idea of destroying the world, the world will collapse.”

　　Almost at the moment when he finished speaking, Wen Bei had already withdrawn his hand, and a string of familiar runes appeared in his mind.

　　It is these runes that are the “dog chains” that bind Qiu Tin.

　　‘I’ll help you remove the seal.’

　　‘It is your responsibility to come out alive and see me.’

　　Wen Bei’s eyes gradually became firm, and in the black sea of consciousness, the rune that had bound Qiu Tin for a thousand years broke.

　　The black runes began to fade into white, until finally disappearing completely.

　　A huge roar came from the black fog.

　　The powerful air wave bounced away everyone in the square.

　　The Rabbit Butler grabbed Wen Bei at the last moment, grew bigger, and protected the man under his belly, then fell heavily on his back into a pile of rubble.

　　Fortunately, thanks to the employees’ physical fitness from soaking in hot springs every day, no one was hurt.

　　On the contrary, those believers who had already lost their ability to resist suffered heavy casualties.

　　The black fog gradually began to dissipate.

　　A huge deep pit appeared in front of them.

　　The pit is so big that it makes people wonder if they have drilled a hole through the earth.

　　Wen Bei saw the bottom. He climbed up from the Rabbit Butler’s round belly and stumbled to the edge of the deep pit.

　　It’s like a hell down there from which there is no escape.

　　It was like he could still hear the roars of Rakshasas and evil spirits.

　　His brain started to go blank.

　　Wen Bei blinked his dry eyes and his breathing almost stopped, until a pair of big hands suddenly picked him up from the edge of the pit.

　　The man’s body was covered with bloodstains that had just healed, but he didn’t care. He lowered his head and buried his head hard in Wen Bei’s collarbone.

　　Wen Bei froze: “Are you hurt?”

　　For a moment he looked like a stupid little animal.

　　Qiu Tin’s gorgeous voice changed a little, with a subtle hint of tea in its mellowness: “Hmm.”

　　Under normal circumstances, Wen Bei might have realized that he was playing the victim, but he had just experienced too much and his brain was still under load: “I…I’m going to…”

　　He wanted to get medicine for Qiu Tin.

　　Before he could finish, five more fingers were inserted into his slender fingers, and the fingers were tightly clasped together, and something somewhat cold fell on his lips.

　　Accompanied by whispers and sighs in his ears: “You don’t have to go anywhere.”
