Chapter 151: So, There Is More Than One Reborn Soul!
These words immediately drew laughter from Lu Kai and Hu Sanhan.
"I say, Bu Ai, you are truly fascinating. If you can't find a reason, there’s no need to spin such an absurd tale. Time travel? Do you think we’re filming a movie?"
Although Chu Yunxi and the others were also skeptical, Chen Yi, having experienced the situation firsthand, spoke with profound gravity.
"In this matter, it is better to believe it exists than to assume it does not. You all, stop laughing."
As soon as Chen Yi finished speaking, the group, who had been joking around, suddenly turned serious. Whenever Chen Yi spoke, they were always ready to carefully consider the future.
Bu Ai, however, hadn't expected Chen Yi to be so open-minded and willing to believe his evidence-less claims. He felt a surge of excitement—he had truly found a mentor who understood his worth. To prove his words were not empty, Bu Ai took out his phone and showed Chen Yi the information he had saved regarding the "X Organization."
By reviewing these documents, Chen Yi fully grasped that there were over a dozen people who had been reborn, and they were now scattered across the corners of the world. This so-called X Organization was merely a base established by this group for their own selfish ends, with the goal of turning those without power into mere sacrificial lambs.
Chen Yi understood this well, yet he felt powerless. In the apocalypse, only the strong could survive; even if one were to help the weak for a moment, when the crisis truly arrived, there would be no way to grant them a path to life. Chen Yi had known this for a long time.
He took a long breath, a flash of helplessness in his eyes.
"If not for you, we might have still assumed that the X Organization was a gaming group set up by the military. In truth, we underestimated them; the military was merely a pawn in their calculations."
"Exactly!" Bu Ai deeply resonated with this. "Big Brother, the people in this organization possess a terrifying faith."
Lu Kai could no longer hold back and asked directly, "What kind of faith could make even you afraid? Tell us!"
Bu Ai stared at Lu Kai for a long time before shaking his head again. "You don't understand. Those people... they are simply demons!"
In his mind, memories of his time in the organization flashed back—scenes he would never forget for the rest of his life. Those people had all descended into absolute madness; to please the man in charge of the entire survival plan, they even resorted to cannibalism. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a wave of nausea.
"Hey, kid..."
Before Hu Sanhan could finish, Chen Yi held him back. "Although I don't know what happened to this lad, I can feel that he has endured something truly horrific."
"Cannibalism." Bu Ai’s face turned deathly pale as he clutched his own body. He bit his lips until they bled, but he couldn't shake the sorrow in his heart. "I have seen and committed such acts against my own kind with my own hands, but I couldn't stop them. To stop them would mean my own life would be decided in an instant by them."
While the act of cannibalism was repulsive, Chen Yi suppressed his revulsion. He knew that in the apocalypse, anything could happen. What he found intolerable was that the X Organization, despite having the means to protect themselves, chose to commit such atrocities.
Seeing Chen Yi’s uncontrollable rage, Chu Yunxi stepped forward, took his arm, and comforted him softly. "Ah Yi, now is not the time to be angry at those people. I know you can’t stand this, but some things must be accepted as reality."
Chen Yi knew why she said this; the young woman likely thought he was too frustrated to face these extraordinary times. But in reality, it was the opposite. While those acts were hateful, they couldn't sway his decisions. What angered him was the web of schemes and conspiracies existing in the world. They appeared to be about survival, but in reality, they were merely vehicles for personal ambition.
Patting Chu Yunxi’s hand, Chen Yi smiled. "Wife, don't be nervous. While this situation is complex, it is not necessarily unsolvable. With me here, there is no need to worry."
Despite his words, Chu Yunxi remained anxious. At that moment, a massive peal of thunder shook the entire earth. Immediately following, everyone saw the points of light on the ground begin to shrink rapidly.
"Everyone, be careful!" Chen Yi brandished his dual blades, watching the intensifying tremors with sharp vigilance.
Indeed, as the sound ceased, a large group of purple-eyed zombies appeared. They looked no different from ordinary humans on the outside, but their stiff, jerky movements betrayed their identities. This gave Chen Yi and his team a chance to turn the tide.
"I’ll take the lead!"
Chen Yi surged forward without hesitation, dispatching the front row of zombies in a few quick strikes. However, as the bodies fell, their eyes snapped open, and they immediately scrambled back to their feet.
Chen Yi’s heart sank. How could this be?
"Boss, let me handle it!" Teng She whipped his tail, sending the group of zombies flying.
They had hoped to shock the creatures, but the zombies showed no fear, roaring even more ferociously. Based on their strength, Chen Yi reached a conclusion: the purple-eyed zombies lacked the intelligence of the red-eyed ones, but they possessed a level of physical durability that the red-eyed ones could never match. With such strength, even their group of supernatural warriors couldn't easily overcome them.
"Boss, these guys are too strange." Panting heavily, the group found themselves in a difficult position.
Normally, one would assume these freaks could be destroyed by using supernatural abilities. Chen Yi rushed in again, slicing a zombie into pieces with his usual swiftness. Yet, before long, the fragments began to knit back together.
"Fire and ice!" Bu Ai shouted. "Using those two forces together can destroy them!"
Hearing this, the group struck in unison. As the ice and fire were unleashed, the creatures finally began to retreat in fear, though their roars did not cease. Chen Yi knew they couldn't stop, as hesitation would only make the situation more dire.
Chen Yi struck again, his venomous light restricting the mobility of the purple zombies, creating openings for his companions. Sensing they couldn't break the stalemate, the zombie group silently retreated.
Hu Sanhan and Lu Kai prepared to give chase, but Chen Yi stopped them.
"Don't go! These creatures have a fixed nest in a place of extreme cold and darkness. If you go there, you will surely die!"
