Perhaps in the entire convoy, only this pregnant woman would say Chen Ye is a good person.

Chen Ye didn't mind this point at all.

"Chen Ye, do you think... we... still have hope?"

Beside him was the young girl's faint, melancholic voice.

Chen Ye fell silent, not knowing what to say.

"Hope" was a very, very extravagant word right now.

Humans were growing stronger, with over a hundred types of Sequence Superpowers, all sorts of indescribable Wonders. Every Sequence Superpower had its own incredible aspects.

Even every single Wonder had incomprehensible functions.

But the Anomalies were also growing stronger.

In the very beginning, not many Anomalies could even speak.

Anomalies also couldn't appear under sunlight.

But now, more and more Anomalies simply didn't care about day or night.

Some Anomalies had even developed human-like intelligence.

And now, beyond Anomalies, there were Rule Anomalies.

And even more terrifying creatures.

Like that Great Serpent in the Mist River.

Chen Ye let out a long sigh: "I don't know! Maybe we'll live a little longer."

"Hehe... Captain Chu said, even if we all end up dying, you'll definitely be the last one among us to die!"

The girl turned her head. Under the pale crimson moonlight, her eyes held no sadness, shining frighteningly bright.

Chen Ye's face was reflected in the girl's pupils.

Not having shaved for a long time had left Chen Ye looking somewhat scruffy.

"Because you're cold enough, heartless enough, selfish enough! To survive, you'd do anything!"

"Perhaps only someone like you can live long enough!"

The girl's voice carried an indescribable intensity, though it wasn't loud.

"Nonsense!"

Chen Ye didn't want to talk about this topic.

It was too heavy!

"Chen Ye!"

Chen Ye turned his head again, meeting the girl's sparkling bright eyes.

"Chen Ye, if someday, I die, remember, you must find me a beautiful place, just like... this kind of place, and bury me!"

"Nonsense!"

It seemed Chen Ye only knew this phrase.

It also seemed Chen Ye didn't believe anyone could survive to the end. The girl before him, and himself, perhaps neither would live to see the end.

The girl opposite him was so much younger, just eighteen.

No, almost nineteen!

She should be in a spacious, bright classroom, going to the snack street with her roommates after class to eat delicious snacks, or receiving love letters from some admirer.

But now.

The girl's entire family was dead, leaving only her.

And she was still struggling in this apocalypse.

She seemed to have gained some power.

But in the face of real threats, this power appeared incredibly weak.

"Hurry up, promise me, otherwise, I won't rest easy even in death!"

The girl didn't want Chen Ye to evade this question;she had to get an answer.

"Alright, alright, alright. If you die, I promise to find you a place a hundred times more beautiful than here and bury you!"

"Hehe... pinky swear, a hundred years, no changing!"

"Aren't you being childish!"

"Hurry up, otherwise I won't be at ease!"

"Fine..."

"Pinky swear, a hundred years, no changing!"

"Hehe... that's great!"

The corners of the girl's mouth lifted high. Under the glow of the blood moon's light, combined with that head of pink hair, she was stunningly beautiful.

If this were a movie, this atmosphere would be most ambiguous...

On the roof of the panel van not far away, a woman sat cross-legged on the vehicle top, the remaining sleeve hanging empty by her side.

The woman watched the beautiful scene in the distance, her mind calm and serene.

That ordinary face held a pair of eyes like ancient wells.

Squad Leader Chu sat barefoot under the open sky, a freshly poured cup of tea before him.

Iron Lion sat on the ground right beside him.

Actually, given his current physique, few chairs could support his size and weight anymore.

"So beautiful!"

The simple-minded Iron Lion looked at the distant lake scenery and couldn't help but speak out.

"You simpleton, you actually know what's beautiful?"

Squad Leader Chu said with amusement.

"Squad Leader Chu, my brain just doesn't work well, but that doesn't mean I'm truly stupid. I still know beautiful from not beautiful!"

"It's really hard on you. The price of the Titan Sequence is just too great!"

"I think this is pretty good. Being a bit dumber means thinking about fewer things. I used to have insomnia often at night, but now I rarely do. I sleep very well every day!"

"Hahaha... The side effect of the Titan Sequence isn't reduced intelligence, but great wisdom appearing as foolishness."

"Hehe... I think so too!"

Iron Lion's face again revealed that simple-minded expression, looking quite carefree.

"Great wisdom appearing as foolishness, great wisdom appearing as foolishness..."

Just then, Iron Lion saw a glowing butterfly dancing gracefully around him. The light from the butterfly illuminated the contours of Iron Lion's muscles.

Iron Lion opened his mouth wide in surprise, looking at the glowing butterfly before him.

In Iron Lion's eyes, this wasn't a butterfly at all, but rather...

The butterfly's body was actually a tiny person.

It looked very much like the fairies in movies.

"Captain..."

Iron Lion called out in his simple way.

Chu Che also noticed this wondrous sight and was momentarily stunned, his mouth agape.

"You... you don't move first. I don't sense any Anomaly aura."

Chen Ye and the Pink-haired Girl also noticed something unusual.

In their line of sight, the entire lake surface rippled out of nowhere.

Countless butterflies flew out from the lake surface.

Those butterflies were actually... actually transformed from this lake water.

The woman on the vehicle roof also showed an astonished expression on her face.

Survivors emerged one by one from tents and vehicles, staring in amazement, mouths agape.

Some even instinctively reached for their pant pockets, finding nothing.

"My heavens, what is this?"

"So many butterflies, these butterflies are... flying out from the lake!"

"So beautiful!"

"I... am I dreaming?"

The wondrous scene before them was so beautiful it made people's hearts ache, feeling a soul-deep shock.

Those glowing butterflies filled everyone's pupils.

They filled the entire lake surface, making it look magnificently beautiful.

Many butterflies also fluttered toward the campsite.

The originally somewhat dim campsite, under the illumination of these butterflies, gained much atmosphere, looking as if a camping party was happening in the camp.

The survivors' faces showed rare smiles.

Some, after clearly seeing the appearance of these butterflies, were so shocked they couldn't close their mouths.

Chen Ye quickly pulled out his phone, opened the camera, and aimed it at this wondrous scene.

Soon Chen Ye noticed something odd. Iron Lion's body was almost covered with butterflies;all the butterflies perched on Iron Lion's head, shoulders.

There were even some on Iron Lion's nose.

The Pink-haired Girl also had quite a few butterflies on her, dancing along with her.

"Chen Ye, quick, take pictures of me, take pictures of me!"

The girl's charming voice urged repeatedly.

Even that university student called Xiao Fu had many butterflies on him.

In contrast, Chen Ye's situation was strange. Wherever Chen Ye went, these butterflies avoided him, as if they were disgusted.

Chen Ye refused to believe it and tried several times. The butterflies simply treated Chen Ye as transparent.

The Pink-haired Girl saw this scene and laughed so hard she shook like a flower, bending forward and backward.

Xu Lina and Xue Nan were as unlucky as Chen Ye.

Xu Lina, angry, tried several times. Every time, just like Chen Ye, wherever she approached became a vacuum.

Chu Che was slightly better off than Chen Ye;at least two or three butterflies were willing to get close to him.

Therefore, Squad Leader Chu Che quite smugly walked over to Chen Ye's side.

Zhou Xiaoxiao stared blankly at the butterflies circling around her and reached out her hand.

Several butterflies landed on her fingers or palm.

The tiny people within those butterflies tilted their heads, examining this human girl before them, seemingly even talking amongst themselves.

Zhou Xiaoxiao momentarily didn't know what to say! She just stared blankly at everything.

Just then, the entire lake emitted a pale green light.

More exclamations of surprise arose all around.

Chen Ye stood by the lakeside looking out.

He discovered the entire lake had become clear and transparent.

Standing on the shore, one could even see the big fish swimming in the lake.

The big fish everyone ate today would only count as small-sized within this lake.

Chen Ye even saw several over ten meters long... koi?

Chen Ye wasn't entirely sure if they were koi, they just looked similar. He didn't have much research on this type of fish.

Not only that, the lake also contained many strange creatures you couldn't even see on short videos.

"This is..."

Chu Che also stood over. The two-person group shunned by the butterflies stood by the lakeside with indescribable expressions.

"Squad Leader Chu, do you think... is this still our world?"
