Chapter 1847 - 1847 After the Apocalypse

1847 After the Apocalypse

How is that possible? Meng Chao instinctively retorted.

How could Master Lei be a pessimist?

If Lei Zongchao wasnt a pessimist, why did he refuse to take on greater responsibility and chose to hide in the Supernatural Tower for decades instead?

Lu Siya said, If you think about it, he must have used his extraordinary deduction skills that surpa.s.sed everyone in his generation to repeatedly predict Dragon Citys future. However, there was destruction in all the futures, and any struggle would be in vain. All the efforts to resolve the crisis would just become a catalyst to accelerate the crisis, or become the crisis itself. Thats why he hid in despair, right?

!!

No, thats impossible! Master Lei isnt such a pessimist!

Meng Chaos eyes burned with fire.

He was not willing to accept the fate of destruction or the speculation that even Battle G.o.d Lei Zongchao, one of the best humans to live, had to bow his head before fate. Even if the odds for the apocalypse are 99.99%, Master Lei would try his best to fight for that 0.01%. I truly believe that! he declared loudly.

Look, arent you admitting that the Dragon City civilization is in danger? So, the probability of survival in the future is less than 0.01%? And you say youre not a pessimist!

To his surprise, Lu Siya had only mentioned Lei Zongchao to trick him. She changed the subject back to Meng Chao and continued to press on with a smile. Do you understand now? This is what attracts me the most. A hot-headed teenager in college, a veteran who has gone through hundreds of battles, or an overlord with extraordinary martial arts can be foolishly optimistic about the future, but only you can be extremely calm and rational. After you think things through, youre able to come up with a pessimistic but realistic conclusion. Its a conclusion thats more likely to happen.

The first step to solving a problem is to identify it. If you refuse to even admit that Dragon City is approaching its end, how can you stop it?

Dont get me wrong. The term pessimist isnt meant to be offensive. Im not mocking or criticizing you at all. On the contrary, you can consider what I said earlier as respect from one pessimist to another.

Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and stared at Lu Siya for a while.

What are you trying to say? he asked in confusion.

He sensed that Lu siyas words had a hidden meaning.

Im saying that you, Battle G.o.d Lei Zongchao, and I are the same. As long as theres a chance of survival, well do everything we can to stop the end of the world.

Lu Siya changed the subject again and said, However, human strength is limited sometimes. Not all beautiful wishes can come true, and not all efforts will yield good results. Have you ever thought about what well do if we fail to stop the apocalypse after giving it our all?

Well

Of course, Meng Chao had thought about this.

He had even consoled himself numerous times by saying, Well die. Well die a clean death. Well die with a clear conscience and a sincere, willing heart. Itll be all over.

No, no, no, you dont understand what I mean. Of course we will die in the apocalypse, but what about the others? Will everyone die in the apocalypse?

Lu Siya continued to patiently ask, Is it possible for some people to escape Dragon City and the area of radiation in time before the apocalypse arrives? Could they escape to a place thats unaffected by the apocalypse or less destroyed and lie dormant? There, they could wait for the rain to clear up and the flowers to bloom in spring so that the fire of civilization could bloom again in a new world.

Meng Chaos gaze suddenly became sharp.

I wont abandon Dragon City and all my compatriots to escape to the ends of the earth.

He paused for a moment and continued. Even if all my efforts in the next few decades end up being in vain, Ill still stay in this great city and face the surging flames of apocalypse with my compatriots. When the ten thousand suns explode and burn above Dragon City, Ill fight to my last breath!

Dont worry. If that day really comes and Im still alive, Ill definitely remain in Dragon City and fight alongside you, Lu Siya said softly.

Besides, even if you run to the end of the world, you wont be able to escape. Didnt you hear Su Mulians prophecy? The apocalyptic flames from the atmosphere will not only burn Dragon City but also the planets entire ecosystem. Everything will be completely destroyed. I dont think anyone can escape it. At least, its impossible for a human to get away.

So?

Meng Chao was confused. Whats your point? If you have something to say, just get on with it.

Alright, Ill get straight to the point.

Lu Siya did not avoid his gaze. Her eyes were sharper and brighter than his. Like you, Im not willing to surrender to a fate of destruction. Forget the 0.01% chance of hope, even if theres no hope at all and the probability of Dragon City surviving is zero from beginning to end, I would keep fighting. I would risk my life to turn that zero into a one in a billion chance.

And I believe that Battle G.o.d Lei Zongchao, whos a pessimist, also thinks the same.

He believes that the method to prevent the apocalypse or preserve a chance of survival is hidden in the depths of the ancient ruins.

Otherwise, he wouldnt have abandoned everyone and ventured into the ancient ruins alone when Dragon Citys in unprecedented chaos and hes most needed to stabilize the situation.

This is why I have to follow you into the ancient ruins to find Lei Zongchao no matter what.

However, no one has ever reached the core of the ancient ruins. In the end, itll be a narrow escape. Its going to be dangerous, and Im afraid that if I dont say this now, I wont have the chance to say it again

Listen, if either one of us, or even if we both die in the depths of the ancient ruins, its fine.

If were lucky enough to get back to the surface and return to the human world, will you seriously consider my previous proposal?

Previous?

Meng Chao was taken aback for a moment. He really could not recall it. What had she proposed?

Its the suggestion I made at the top of Mist Mountain before I knocked you off the cliff and you fell into Devils Eye.

Lu Siya was calm as she said, If youve forgotten, I can remind you again. Its the proposal to become my partner so that we can reproduce and pa.s.s down the best human genes. We can even combine the best of the human civilization and the monster civilization to break through current human limits and create new human beings.
