Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive-Chapter 88: The Real Cause of the Apocalypse

"I didn’t ask about it anymore, but that scientist had insisted I give him my phone number when I delivered him home safely.

I gave it to him just to shut him up, but almost three months ago, he called me and told me that those scientists had used his concept to open a portal in space for one second.

He was celebrating calling himself a genius, but also worried that something bad would happen due to that incident.

He thought that what happened in the past should be left in the past. Opening a portal to the past was the same as opening Pandora’s box, but apparently, his advice had not been heeded by anyone."

What Ye Xuan didn’t say was that, it was around that time that he started having dreams about Chu Miao.

Also, Chu Miao had also made a conclusion. It was at that time that she had a truck accident and her soul from the ancient era traveled to the modern era and merged with its other half.

That space portal should have been the trigger for the apocalypse. Whatever escaped into this world during that one second was destroying the planet.

Chu Miao was angry because it was those people’s greed that had caused them to be thrown into this situation.

If they had not wanted to change the past, or obtain something that never belonged to them, then maybe that prophecy wouldn’t have been fulfilled.

"But after the apocalypse started, shouldn’t those experiments and research have stopped? She asked an important question.

"On the contrary, even though I haven’t followed up on the issue, I am sure that with the world in ruin, they would probably want to complete that research even more.

I had not placed much importance on it until I saw you use your teleportation ability. I will try to find out what is happening and let you know. But for now, you better not use that ability.

With the amount of craziness those people have, they could kidnap a renowned scientist for a concept that even he himself knew nothing about and it was during the lawful era. Imagine what they would do to a person who can actually travel through space through teleportation in this chaotic time where law and order no longer exist." Ye Xuan was worried about those people finding out about Chu Miao and kidnapping her for human experiments while he was still too weak to protect her.

He didn’t want anything to happen to her.

"Thank you for letting me know. I won’t teleport unless it is absolutely necessary." Chu Miao understood his good intentions and knew that he was worried about her. So, she made a promise not to be so ostentatious about using teleportation.

"Of course, if you are strong enough to fight against them then there is no problem using your ability, but for now, we are still weak and can’t provide proper protection. So it’s better to be low profile about it." Ye Xuan added.

Chu Miao noticed the use of the word ’we’ and felt her heart warm. Even though Ye Xuan knew that she might bring trouble, he didn’t shrink and distance himself away from her, instead he banded them together and even talked about protecting her.

She was gratified to have someone as responsible as him as a partner. Maybe she would consider his feelings towards her more seriously.

By this time they had already arrived outside the mall and parked the car. However, they were still sitting inside.

The others who had arrived before them had already cleared the few zombies who had appeared there again and we’re just waiting for the two so they could enter the mall.

The glass on the windows of the car were tinted so they couldn’t see what was happening inside, but they all decided not to disturb the two youngsters.

"I also wanted to ask you to be careful who you give the water you gave me this morning to." Ye Xuan said this with a serious expression and looked straight at Chu Miao.

Chu Miao was about to deny that there was anything special with the water but when she saw the serious look he was wearing, the words got stuck in her throat.

He must have noticed something for him to say that. He noticed the energy fluctuations with her teleportation too, so it was not strange that he realized that something was different with the water.

"Okay. I will be more careful in the future." She agreed to his request.

She wasn’t someone who was wishy-washy. Since she had decided to give him a chance, then she had to give him a certain degree of trust and reassurance about her safety.

"Let’s go out. Everyone is waiting for us." Ye Xuan was relieved when she didn’t turn on him for overstepping his boundaries.

He opened his side of the door and got out while Chu Miao did the same thing on the other side.

Everyone just looked at them but no one commented on their act of staying in the car for too long.

In fact, they hoped that they could stay longer.

"Let’s see if there is a side door we can use to get in instead of having to break the front door." Ye Xuan suggested.

Everyone understood that entering inside while leaving the front door untouched was to stop others who might come later from entering without struggle or a warning.

They were the ones who fought hard to kill the zombies and didn’t want to have made a wedding dress for someone else.

So, Ye Xuan and Chu Miao walked at the front side-by-side while the others trailed behind them.

Over the past few weeks, the leadership position had systematically shifted from grandpa Chu to Chu Miao and everyone did whatever she said without questions or doubts.

On the other hand, Ye Xuan had always been the de facto leader of his team and they followed him blindly.

Now watching the two leaders walking at the front together, everyone had a feeling that something significant that could alter the direction of the apocalypse had been born.
