Chapter 677: This is Ending One

Escape plan? Heh, that sounds nice.

Zhang Jie wiped the Ordinary Blade, having just fended off a wave of mimetic invasion.

He looks unharmed, but in fact he barely managed to defeat the Mother God.

The opponent keeps getting stronger; how long can he hold out?

I don't know, but if he can hold out a day, that's a day.

Master, are you coming with us?

Lei Na looked at Zhang Jie, saying worriedly.

No need, I'll go alone.

Zhang Jie ruffled Lei Na's head—fluffy, soft, and felt great.

I'll be back tonight.

Zhang Jie vanished instantly; Lei Na stared blankly at the spot where he had just been.

Hey, Chief Lei Na, still eyeing that guy?

A familiar voice sounded; Lei Na turned to see Huang Mao and Qiu Yu, whom she knew well and had long been close with.

After all, after Zhang Jie rescued her, she teamed up with those two and Zhang Yan.

Hmm, our strategy progress is still almost zero.

Lei Na said helplessly, while Qiu Yu covered her mouth and laughed.

You staying with him like this—isn't it just a matter of time?

That's not necessarily; the master's head is full of that Qi Yu guy.

It's not my turn.

Ah, don't be so down; Old Zhang isn't some cold-hearted person.

By the way, tell him when the time comes; next week, come to my and Qiu Yu's wedding.

While the world hasn't ended yet, let's enjoy what we can.

Lei Na looked envious; if her love could go that smoothly, that would be great.

She used to be a little hedgehog roaming the outer districts, covered in spikes and spewing foul language, hurting both herself and others.

Now her spikes have turned into soft fur, but her teeth and claws have become sharp.

Hang in there, Qi Yu... I think she won't be coming back.

Ah, never mind—we're going to defend over there; stay safe.

Lei Na agreed, then glanced unintentionally toward a certain spot—just then a gaze had been watching her.

Who was it?

In the distance, Qi Yu's eyes were red, she was furious, her wounds not yet healed, and she rushed toward the Abnormal Bureau Headquarters.

Damn thing! Every day, always looking for a chance to sneak in!

Hey! Calm down! What the hell do you want to do now!

Wait for you! Wait till I conquer the human world—I'll make sure you never see each other in this lifetime!!!

You idiot! You idiot! You idiot!!!

Qi Yu just wants to lock Zhang Jie in her nest—why fight so hard? Her hair's turned white!

Wait until she settles everything—wouldn't it be nice to just enjoy peace?

They mentioned an escape plan—didn't you hear?

They want to escape this planet!

The Mother God is a bit anxious—what kind of daughter is this, so stubborn!

You're going to their headquarters now—aren't you just delivering food?

Plus Zhang Jie, that makes eight Forbidden—if exposed, they'll definitely grind you into minced meat!

They're going to run! I ask you, are you Ni'erduolong??

The Mother God had nothing to say, could only mutter inwardly in Qi Yu's heart.

Do as you like; letting you give up is also good.

On the other side, Zhang Jie had already arrived at the Abnormal Bureau Headquarters; as soon as he landed, a female Forbidden Permit enthusiastically greeted him.

Compared to the other old timers, she actually looks decent—but she's still an old thing, right?

If she makes a move on Zhang Jie, he'll surely get zapped a lot.

You've come, Zhang Jie.

That flawless face smiled at Zhang Jie, thinking herself charming—but Old Zhang's eyes were practically rolling to the sky.

Don't do that; I despise you.

That charming female Forbidden froze, her smile about to break.

Quickly finish the main point; don't beat around the bush.

... Come with me.

Passing through the busy Abnormal Bureau Headquarters, the people inside saw Zhang Jie and involuntarily bowed in respect; although this Forbidden doesn't get along with the others, he is indeed the most responsible Forbidden Permit.

Everyone's behavior made the already annoyed Forbidden Permit even more irritable, face burning as if someone had publicly pulled a dozen nasal passages.

At this moment she deeply regretted why she had come to wade into this muddy water.

After passing through the most crowded area, Zhang Jie and she entered the elevator, going straight down, with Zhang Jie watching the floor numbers plummet wildly.

Negative ten, negative fifty, negative two hundred—straight down to the underground.

Until past the 230-something floor, it finally stopped.

Since you don't want to listen, we'll make a long story short.

She brought Zhang Jie in while explaining the situation.

"You also know this situation; our chance of winning is almost zero."

"Mimicry, abnormality, or evil gods—none are things we can deal with."

"You don't know, do you? Pollution is actually a kind of high-dimensional energy; it's just that humans cannot bear it, causing genetic collapse."

"No need to say it; I know."

"You know???"

The other party looked quite surprised, after all, such important information is shared among the seven of them, and has never been shared with Zhang Jie.

Everyone knows this; it shows what? It shows that Zhang Jie's talent is truly terrifying.

Maybe... he really can lead humanity out of a new fate.

"No matter how you found out, it doesn't matter; I only tell you one thing."

"We are nourishment, the nourishment of the new civilization; they will inherit our fire, but not our core."

"Everything is a means left behind by a former advanced civilization; we can never win."

"But we have a ship, an advanced ship capable of warp travel for tens of billions of light-years."

"It is something left behind by the previous civilization, and also the reason we possess navigation technology."

"Aren't you curious why a civilization that has never even stepped out of its star system possesses interstellar travel technology?"

Zhang Jie raised his eyebrows; he was indeed somewhat curious about this, because he hadn't thought about it much before, and he isn't a science major.

At fifteen he became an investigator, hadn't even finished school—how could he possibly figure this out?

"Recently we successfully calculated the stress coefficient of the galactic membrane; with our ability, we can already break through the galactic membrane."

The other party fell silent for a moment, then continued speaking.

"The premise is to add you."

Zhang Jie laughed, arms crossed, looking at her leisurely.

"Can break through? Are you sure there isn't something outside gnawing at it?"

"How do you know that again!?"

"What's it to you?"

Perhaps... running away really isn't a bad choice.

"... Come with me."

Time rift.

Zhang Jie gazed at his own timeline, at a branch just as thick that split off, falling into contemplation.

"So, is this the first ending?"

(The patron who will reply in the comment section to give away prizes to the ginseng fans, please check; this book can't be done now, ginseng is purely for love, so I really can't send out too many; these few copies are still templates sent by the publisher to ginseng.)

(However, ginseng will still find time to send later; those patrons who don't have a copy, don't lose heart; moreover, the price of the physical book isn't high either.)

(This simulation is also nearing its end; the next ginseng is still being thought about!)
