My Villainous Destiny: Doomsday Descends - Chapter 18
Chapter 18: Anticipation
Jiangjing, Dongxing Building.
This building wasn’t particularly tall, but it was one of Jiangjing’s landmark buildings. This place housed some of the world’s top financial institutions.
It was said that anyone from this building could influence the financial situation of the entire country.
In the past, working at Dongxing Building was Chen Zhong’s dream, but now, Dongxing Building was empty. The former financial elites were either trapped in the quarantine zone or had fled Jiangjing.
The once majestic and bustling Dongxing Building was now desolate.
An Mian clung tightly to Chen Zhong, her eyes filled with admiration and affection.
As the situation spiraled out of control, not only were zombies rampant, but social order was also collapsing.
The streets were filled with rioters looting, robbing jewelry stores, banks, and even committing public assaults!
It was like a nightmare.
An Mian was terrified; she had never seen such scenes before, but Chen Zhong remained very calm, almost indifferent. This was nothing in the apocalypse!
In his previous life during the apocalypse, morality had degraded to unimaginable levels. Offering one’s body for a little food was not unusual.
Chen Zhong had witnessed such scenes many times. On filthy streets, women greedily ate nutrient paste made from cockroaches and insects.
And behind them, several or even dozens of men lined up with wicked smiles on their faces. Cannibalism wasn’t rare in the apocalypse either.
In the apocalypse, food shortages made rituals and morality collapse in the face of hunger.
Just moments ago, some rioters had tried to harm An Mian. Although she wasn’t extraordinarily beautiful, her attire clearly indicated she was from a wealthy family.
Torturing a wealthy young lady would give these low-life rioters a perverse pleasure.
Of course, Chen Zhong took care of them. Even though his talent was the lowest grade, F-grade, Chen Zhong had still stepped into the realm of evolvers.
Now, he was completely different from ordinary people, almost like two different species…
Looking at the locked door, Chen Zhong kicked the iron door, sending it flying. Some rioters who had been eyeing them suspiciously were now wide-eyed, screaming, “F*ck!”
They turned and ran…
Chen Zhong and An Mian entered Dongxing Building and directly climbed to the top floor.
Moreover, Chen Zhong used brute force to twist and deform the doors on each floor they passed, making them impossible for ordinary people to open!
Thus, the two reached the top floor of Dongxing Building.
“What is that!” An Mian exclaimed, seeing a small vortex in the open space of the top floor, resembling a portal to another world.
Chen Zhong looked at the portal, his eyes filled with excitement, “This is an interdimensional phenomena!”
After the apocalypse began, not only did evolvers appear, but spaces also began to warp in some areas, merging otherworldly realms with the real world to form interdimensional phenomena’s.
These instances contained many extremely rare rewards. For example, crystal nuclei, which were incredibly precious and could be used by evolvers for cultivation, but even more precious were the talent seeds.
Interdimensional phenomena’s were graded from F to S, with higher levels being more dangerous and offering more valuable rewards.
This phenomena was S-grade, but it was special in that despite being S-grade, it had almost no danger. It was like a super gift from the gods to humanity.
However, when this interdimensional instance first appeared, humans didn’t know what it was and didn’t dare to enter it rashly.
In his previous life, a lucky guy named Zhou Xuan, while being chased by a gang leader, entered this space out of desperation and unexpectedly obtained the SSS-grade talent.
He rose to prominence, becoming one of the top ten most powerful evolvers in the world, known as Emperor Zhou.
Thinking about it now, Zhou Xuan was indeed a child of destiny, like the protagonist in a novel! But now that Chen Zhong had been reborn, the SSS-grade talent wouldn’t be his.
Although he was essentially stealing Zhou Xuan’s destiny, Chen Zhong felt no guilt. In the apocalypse, one had to fight against heaven, earth, and men; not fighting meant waiting for death.
Now, it could only be said that Zhou Xuan was unlucky…
Holding An Mian, Chen Zhong couldn’t help but laugh loudly. Since his rebirth, he had been on edge, not daring to relax for a moment.
He had endured so much, even kneeling to Qin Jun. All for this moment!
Chen Zhong’s heart was filled with exhilaration and anticipation. He was finally going to obtain the SSS-grade talent and start his reversal!
Then, his eyes filled with hatred.
So what if Qin Jun had an S-grade talent? So what if the Qin family was the chosen family? Everything is meaningless in front of an SSS-grade talent!
Chen Zhong’s eyes were filled with anticipation. He was eager to see Qin Jun’s reaction once he returns with the SSS-grade talent.
…
On the street, military vehicles sped by, causing rioters to flee in panic, thinking the army was there to suppress them.
The bullied civilians cheered, thinking the nation hadn’t abandoned them. But their smiles quickly froze as the military vehicles roared past without stopping.
The soldiers were not there to maintain order or rescue them. They were there to escort Qin Jun.
Soon, the convoy stopped in front of Dongxing Building, and armed soldiers disembarked, guns loaded, exuding a murderous aura.
Zhao Yi closely followed Qin Jun out of the vehicle. He, the deputy commander, had almost become Qin Jun’s lackey! But Zhao Yi understood clearly that Jiangjing was finished, and his future depended on the Qin family.
If he wanted a place in the apocalypse, he had to cling tightly to Qin Jun’s thigh!
“Commander Zhao, no one is allowed to enter this building. Anyone approaching is to be executed on the spot!” Qin Jun’s intention was clear; even if it was a civilian wandering in, they were to be shot.
“Yes, sir!” Zhao Yi nodded. Since blowing up Jiangbei Bridge, his moral bottom line had plummeted.
Killing a million people, what difference did a few more make…
Qin Jun smiled, looking up at Dongxing Building. He wondered what Chen Zhong’s expression would be once he saw him. He was looking forward to it…
