Chapter 800: Chapter 800: Special Ore

To be honest, you might not believe it.

The gentle and elegant, well-spoken middle-aged man in front of you used to be a sloppy middle-aged man.

In his forties, having failed in several blind dates.

Because he wasn’t good at expressing himself, even though he earned more than the average person by working hard delivering express parcels, it didn’t improve his family’s situation much.

His parents were elderly, and treating their illnesses cost a lot.

Even after his parents passed away, Captain Zhang still owed a large debt.

So until now, around forty, he hasn’t had a girlfriend, alone.

After the apocalypse broke out, he changed.

He started paying attention to his image, shaved, and became completely different from his past self.

Captain Zhang isn’t someone who cares about appearance, but he also understands that going to other countries to discuss forming an alliance with those Superpower Users requires more than just force.

He represents the dignity of his country.

He can’t let others look down on him.

Even Wang Yiyun couldn’t recognize that Captain Zhang was once that diligent delivery guy.

She only vaguely felt that his name was familiar but couldn’t connect him with that dedicated guy who only wore his work clothes.

Because of the immense power of his superpower, his features became sharper, exuding a formidable aura.

Coupled with his deliberate disguise, he could indeed suppress others.

The most important aspect is that he’s really good at fighting.

If his aura couldn’t intimidate them, he’d just beat them up, then they’d definitely submit!

Politeness before force.

He doesn’t know how much more he can do for his country or how much longer he can hold on.

The only thing he knows is that he’s doing his utmost to change everything.

Captain Zhang walks at the front, his silhouette appears incredibly lonely.

Bai Yifan suddenly remembers that Brother Zhang (Zhang Yiming) also had such a lonely silhouette.

Perhaps all strong people are like this.

Lonesome at great heights.

Captain Zhang still hasn’t mentioned what he did for work before, and Bai Yifan doesn’t ask further.

He feels Captain Zhang must have been someone very serious and responsible before, which is why he now shoulders the burden of human revival.

"We’ve arrived."

Captain Zhang suddenly stops and looks at a stone door ahead.

The stone door looks incredibly heavy, with a dragon carved on it, a few lines sketching a soaring dragon, as if really flying off the stone door.

Bai Xiqin reaches out to touch the stone door, feeling a stabbing pain in her mind, instantly retracting her hand.

In a daze, she glances at her fingers, which are covered in dirty dust.

A scorching sensation spreads from her fingertips.

The energy contained within the stone door is terrifying; merely touching it, Bai Xiqin’s head experiences a momentary stabbing pain.

Leng Yebai furrows his brows, reaches out, and gently wipes the dust off Bai Xiqin’s hand, softly rubbing it in his palm.

"This stone door is made from that kind of mineral that produces a special magnetic field," Captain Zhang steps forward, placing his hand on the stone door.

Captain Zhang seemingly doesn’t feel the impact of the powerful energy, gradually applying force with veins bulging on his forehead.

"We’ll help!"

The Base Commander rolls up his sleeves and goes to push the stone door too.

As soon as his fingers touch the stone door, his body stumbles, unprepared, tilting in one direction.

Leng Yebai silently moves himself, preventing the Base Commander from crashing into him.

The Base Commander flaps twice in the air but doesn’t fall.

Luckily, he had good balance; otherwise, he’d have toppled.

The energy within the stone door mercilessly stimulates the superpower inside his body; the two resonate, and the crystal core in his mind is nearly exploding.

"Thanks for your effort, Captain Zhang."

The Base Commander quietly steps away from the stone door, silently cheering for Captain Zhang.

Other Bai Family members cautiously touch the stone door, unsurprisingly getting shocked, quickly stepping away from the vicinity.

This can’t just be forced through sheer will.

The energy within the stone door stimulates the crystal core in the mind, leading to a self-destruct outcome.

Unless you’re strong enough.

Everyone silently watches Captain Zhang pushing the stone door, their eyes flashing with terror.

Terrifying indeed!

Captain Zhang doesn’t say a word, just uses all his strength to push the door, sweat dripping down drop by drop from his forehead.

A mist forms on the lenses of his gold-rimmed glasses, obstructing Captain Zhang’s eyes.

Under Captain Zhang’s push, the stone door indeed starts to move bit by bit.

A powerful energy pours out from behind the stone door.

It’s Superpower Energy!

At this moment, in this confined space, the richness of this energy surpasses even a Fifth Rank crystal core!

The energy is almost visible to the naked eye, making the air appear slightly distorted.

With a pop’s sound.

The surroundings fall into darkness.

The energy storm damaged the power facilities here.

Leng Yebai takes out a flashlight from his backpack and turns it on; only then does everyone regain their sight.

Clap clap!

Captain Zhang claps his hands, dusting off the surface, his face returning to a gentle demeanor.

"Who has tissues?" Captain Zhang asks.

"I have."

Bai Yifan quickly pulls out a small pack of tissues from his pocket and hands it to Captain Zhang.

As a boy who loves cleanliness, he still has tissues in his pocket.

"Thanks."

Captain Zhang takes the tissues, first wipes the fog off his gold-rimmed glasses, then wipes the sweat off his face.

By the time Captain Zhang finishes wiping, the tissues are soaked.

A streak of intense flame rises and burns the tissues clean, leaving no residue.

Captain Zhang returns to a refined and gentle look.

"Inside here are all this type of minerals; this type of stone looks similar to ordinary stones, even the components match those outside, showing no differences, yet the only difference is the energy within is terrifying beyond measure. Global presence of these stones led to the outbreak of the apocalypse."

Captain Zhang calmly takes the flashlight from Leng Yebai’s hand and shines it behind the stone door.

Behind the stone door, it seems there is nothing.

Yet, the terrifying energy waves are incredibly intense.

The space feels slightly distorted.

Looking closely, behind the stone door is all rock.

This is an ore vein.

If it were before the apocalypse, no one would pay attention to this place because it’s merely ordinary stone, not a gold or jade mine.

The pale brown rock is unremarkable, yet it erupts with unimaginable energy.

Excess energy isn’t beneficial for Superpower Users in enhancing their powers either.

Like now, Bai Family members feel their heads buzzing; if they stay too long, it seems the crystal core in their mind doesn’t belong to them.

Sooner or later it’ll explode.

"So, what do we do now?"

Bai Yifan swallows a gulp, his body inexplicably starts trembling.

He suspects Captain Zhang has a big plan in mind.

"The existence of these things will make the apocalypse worsen and destroy civilization repeatedly, being the root cause of the enduring zombies and mutated flora and fauna in this world."

Captain Zhang steps inside the stone door, and the energy from the rocks swirls onto him wildly.

Sizzling sounds emanate from Captain Zhang’s body.

Bright blood sprays from Captain Zhang, everywhere are cuts made by the energy.

The refined Captain Zhang didn’t remain dignified for long before turning into a bloodied mess.

"These stones can’t be destroyed, no matter what, they’ll resurface in activity after thousands of years. What I can do is make their impact on our era smaller."

With that, Captain Zhang doesn’t say more, a special aura intertwines around him.

The energy boils; this time, instead of charging towards Captain Zhang, it expands towards all directions.
