Chapter 26: Lord Song, Let’s Rewrite the Apocalypse Together!

“It turns out we can’t contact the Savior through the phone.”

“The phone is already bound to the City Lord, no one can replace it!”

After everyone took turns trying to use the phone, they came to this conclusion.

They were all relieved.

In terms of power, Song Lufeng is the strongest in the world.

With his 3S-level ability fully unleashed, even the mutant beasts couldn’t withstand it.

Unfortunately, the City Lord hadn’t consumed enough nutrition over the years, so his ability had never been fully displayed.

But now, it’s different.

With sufficient nutritional supplementation, the City Lord’s powers would surely shine.

“The higher the ability level, the more nutrition is needed. The City Lord has done remarkably well to get by until now,” Du Guan said.

Over the past few days, eating well and drinking well had made his mind sharper.

“Now that the City Lord has declared war on the Bright Group, Bai Zhan will definitely take action, and we can’t keep the food from the Golden Era a secret from him.”

“He might resort to some terrifying and extreme methods to seize the food that the Savior sent us.”

Mentioning Bai Zhan from the Bright Group, everyone’s face turned grim.

This guy is a 2S-level ability user.

Unlike the City Lord, who is patient and steadfast with his principles, Bai Zhan has done many things that break human morality to evolve his abilities.

They all wondered whether he could still be considered human.

“His right-hand man, the S-level genius evolutionary scientist Yu Zuo, has definitely already started researching these foods. We can’t fall behind. We must immediately form a research team.”

Lin Zhoumin made a very high-level suggestion.

He was also an S-level research-type ability user and couldn’t let Yu Zuo surpass him.

Song Lufeng decisively said, “Okay, Professor Lin, I will assign several A-level evolutionary and research-type ability users to assist you.”

“During the research, I will grant you Level 1 authority. Please quickly figure out the best way to consume these foods so we don’t waste the Savior’s gift.”

Bai Zhan, that paranoid and arrogant dark king, he knows him well.

Just as Bai Zhan knows him.

The two sides have different stances, and eventually, there will be a battle.

Originally, the outcome was uncertain.

Perhaps even before the battle started, Bai Zhan might die from lack of nutrition after forcing his abilities to kill mutant beasts.

But now, the Savior is on his side.

At this moment, a message from the Savior arrived.

“Have you had lunch? I’ve ordered some food, it tastes quite good, I’ll send you a portion!”

Then, a table full of food appeared on the table.

The food was prepared by a five-star hotel chef.

Tea-scented shrimp, Dongpo pork knuckles, braised lion’s head meatballs, herbal steamed chicken, boiled fish, scallion mushrooms, garlic enoki mushrooms. It was a beautiful array of dishes, all perfectly balanced in color, fragrance, and taste.

There was fish, meat, both savory and vegetarian dishes, all with a focus on balanced nutrition.

Besides the food, there was red wine.

Everyone stared at the food, drooling in envy.

The Savior was feeding the City Lord again.

Each time, it was a special meal just for him.

This time, no one fought over it. They silently withdrew, even pulling away the greedy Shuweng.

After all, he was young and didn’t know better.

“Why are you pulling me away? Such delicious food, don’t you want to eat it?”

Shuweng’s mouth was watering.

Lu He patted his shoulder.

“You don’t have a girlfriend, do you?”

Shuweng’s face turned red.

“I… I haven’t matched with anyone yet. I’m too young, not old enough.”

Lu He said, “Oh, no wonder.”

He grabbed Shuweng and said, “Let’s go to the cafeteria to eat. Professor Lin has already worked out the best food combinations for us.”

Shuweng still wanted to eat the City Lord’s food.

The cafeteria food was certainly tasty, ten thousand times better than nutrient liquids, but it couldn’t compare to what the City Lord had.

“Alright, forget about that table.”

The conversation outside the door was clearly heard by Song Lufeng.

He certainly didn’t intend to call anyone back.

Usually, he kept the city’s people in his heart and on his shoulders.

He was always willing to share anything, but now, he wanted a little personal indulgence.

“That tea-scented shrimp is especially delicious. The tea fragrance mixes with the shrimp’s, neutralizing its fishiness and bringing out its natural flavor. You should try it.”

Gu Man’s voice was sweet.

“The boiled fish is also quite tasty. The fish is a strong swimmer, and its flesh is different from ordinary fish, so tender and smooth.”

“The chicken is even better, with three-yellow chicken plus dendrobium and ginseng. It’s truly replenishing.”

For every dish she mentioned, Song Lufeng ate a bit.

It felt as if they were sharing a meal in the same sky.

But in the end, the taste and its effects on the body were different.

To Gu Man, it was just delicious food, simply tasty.

Though nutritious, it wasn’t much, and if the body couldn’t absorb it, it would become a burden.

But to Song Lufeng, every bite increased his powers and made him stronger.

Suddenly, Song Lufeng realized something.

In his heart, he wanted the Savior to always be in the Golden Era.

He even wished they were in two parallel worlds that would never intersect.

But what if…

What if the Savior’s world was their future history?

“Does the Savior often eat these dishes?”

“Ha, how could it be? I don’t usually eat much, but I’ve had a huge appetite the past couple of days.”

“Is the eternal emperor in the Savior’s world Emperor Qin Shi Huang?”

Gu Man was stunned.

“Right.”

“The emperor hailed as the Son of Heaven during the Han Dynasty was Liu Xiu?”

“That’s right.”

“The Ming Dynasty lasted 270 years?”

“Correct…”

“The last emperor…”

The two spoke in unison.

“The last emperor was Puyi.”

The food in Gu Man’s hands suddenly lost its taste.

She understood Song Lufeng’s meaning.

Song Lufeng wasn’t someone living in a parallel world, someone completely unrelated to this one.

He was — from the future!

In other words, Earth would go through an apocalypse, and future generations would face an extinction-level disaster!

Damn!

Gu Man couldn’t sit still anymore.

If it was just out of sympathy or exchange, she would have been more reserved about sending supplies, afraid of affecting the current standard of living.

But when it came to saving future generations, that was different!

All previous plans had to be overturned; she had to come up with new strategies!

“Savior?”

Gu Man didn’t speak for a long time, and Song Lufeng became a bit worried.

“Don’t be afraid. I mean, you don’t need to be afraid right now. The Golden Era’s renaissance will last at least another hundred years.”

A hundred years — one generation’s time.

“I’m worried,” Gu Man said firmly.

“I don’t want future generations to experience the apocalypse!”

How tragic the apocalypse would be, just from Song Lufeng’s perspective, she had seen a glimpse of it.

“But I still have doubts. I need proof.”

“Where are you now? I mean, where on the map is the Xuanwu Base?”

Song Lufeng understood.

He was impressed by how smart the Savior was.

“The Xuanwu Base is located in the original Shandong — Qingdao.”

“Alright, I got it. Send me a map, and I will send you a map with the exact location. I’ll place a safe at the same location. You can dig it up, and if you can, bring it out.”

Soon, vegetables were delivered in large quantities.

Gu Man calmly sent them over and returned home.

Song Lufeng looked at the warehouse filled with vegetables, and everyone was celebrating.

But his mood wasn’t as happy.

He didn’t want to dig up anything.

He reached the location Gu Man had specified.

It was just outside the Xuanwu Base.

“Alright, let’s start digging. It’s ten meters underground.”

Song Lufeng stared at the ground and lightly stamped his foot.

Dust rose, and a deep pit appeared.

Seeing the rusted safe inside, his gaze became filled with a storm.

“Open the safe and take the contents out.”

Inside the safe was a red crystal core.

Next to it was a phone, identical to the one in his hand, made by the same manufacturer and model.

Confirmed.

A group of people watched this scene with strange expressions.

“We’ve used the resources in this area hundreds of times and never seen this kind of safe.”

The safe was made of first-generation materials, valuable and reusable. If found, it would never be left alone.

But it had never been dug up before, and now, here it was?

Gu Man, however, saw hope.

“Great!”

“The fact that the safe made it to you means my world will experience the apocalypse soon!”

“But the good news is, the future is not set in stone!”

“The things in this safe are proof!”

Theoretically, the crystal core shouldn’t exist in the future.

And the food from the Golden Era shouldn’t exist in the apocalypse.

But the phone’s channel changed everything.

It could rewrite the apocalypse!

“Lord Song, let’s rewrite the apocalypse together!”
