Chapter 544 The Disappeared Zero City (1/2)

GOR Chapter 544 The Disappeared Zero City

The World’s End!

The opportunity for resurrection.

Hearing that, Chen Xiaolian’s eyes shone. His palm slapped the surface of the table vigorously and he jolted straight up as he stared right at Miao Yan.

Miao Yan appeared taken aback by his action. She looked at Chen Xiaolian and said, “What is it?”

“That resurrection thing you said, is it real? How credible is it?”

Miao Yan looked into Chen Xiaolian’s eyes and saw an unprecedented level of seriousness within them – even when she had mentioned about the legend of the World Tree earlier, this expression had not appeared on his face.

“Who do you want to resurrect?” asked Miao Yan.

“One of my companions.” Chen Xiaolian then slowly continued, “An Irregularity.”

Miao Yan raised her brows and said, “Female?”

“… … …” Chen Xiaolian did not answer. He simply stared intently at Miao Yan.

Miao Yan sighed. “I understand.”

She pondered through it carefully before looking back at Chen Xiaolian. Then, she said slowly, “I don’t want to give you too much hope. How should I put it? You should understand, in this circle, there are many legends floating around.Many of them are false. As for the rest, there are doubts about them. Even if one of the legends proves to be true, I fear that the requirements to pursue it would prove extremely harsh and difficult. Not to mention, the end result might differ greatly from the contents of the legend. Thus…”

“Just speak your mind.” Chen Xiaolian took a deep breath and calmed himself.

“I do not have a comprehensive grasp on this matter myself. So, if this thing is very important for you…”

“It is very important!” Chen Xiaolian interjected firmly.

“Very well.” Miao Yan nodded her head. “After I go back, I will carefully inquire about this matter. The reason for this is that the origin of this legend is rather mysterious. Thus, in order to know more about it, I will need to…”

Without waiting for Miao Yan to finish, Chen Xiaolian said in a determined tone, “All right! I will be depending on you for this, Miao Yan!”

Miao Yan raised her brows and said, “Is this something like a request?”

“A very sincere request.”

Miao Yan smiled and said, “I will be honest, this matter is very difficult. Even inquiring about it would be difficult. Well, since this is a request from you, I will do my best to find out about it. Having said that, I am unable to guarantee success. Moreover… … something this difficult will come at a price. I believe you understand.”

Chen Xiaolian exhaled. “Just say your terms.”

“Some time in the future, I want your help for something,” Miao Yan said coolly.

“Fine.” Chen Xiaolian nodded without hesitation. “As long as you can do this, you can order me to go through a mountain of blades and a sea of flames!”

There was a tangled look on Miao Yan’s face. However, she then slowly raised her hand and said, “You are the one who said that. I can order you. It is a deal!”

Chen Xiaolian nodded solemnly. “It is a deal!”

After they made the oath, a passionate look appeared on Chen Xiaolian’s face. As for Miao Yan, her face turned surprisingly cool.

She picked up the bottle of whiskey and waved it a bit before putting it down. “All right, the whiskey is finished and question time is over. Let us say goodbye.”

She jumped down from the bar stool, walked over and embraced Chen Xiaolian in a hug.

Miao Yan embraced him tightly and whispered into Chen Xiaolian’s ear. “Xiaolian, do your best to survive. Don’t die. I have a feeling that you might come up with a lot of interesting things in the future. I am waiting to see how the world would change then. So… … do your best to survive!”

Miao Yan’s move to hug Chen Xiaolian took his by surprise. Next, he felt her breath on his ear. It was a ticklish feeling. His nose could smell a fragrant scent from her body – it was not due to some perfume; instead, it was the scent of the shower cream from earlier. It had a more refreshing feeling.

“… thank you, I will do my best to survive.”

“I will give you the information I find the next time we meet. You know where to find me.” Miao Yan smiled and continued, “You had best hide for now. Shen will probably not let you go just like that.”

After saying that, Miao Yan turned and left the pub, disappearing somewhere outside.

Chen Xiaolian looked outside with a lost look. Next, he used his hands to knead his face as numerous complicated thoughts swirled within his head.

The things that happened during this Zero City trip were too complex, too monumental to the point where Chen Xiaolian felt a need to return and spend a good amount of time to slowly ponder them.

…

This was an unfamiliar city.

After finding a hotel to stay, Chen Xiaolian booked a flight to quickly return home.

Naturally, what he was most concerned about was the current situation of Zero City. However, now that he had left Zero City, Chen Xiaolian found that he had no way to contact Zero City – he also had no idea how to re-enter Zero City.

Additionally, he was also worried about the others that were still in Zero City – the safety of Bluesea, Angel Wu and the others. He wondered if those who managed to get out from Zero City were doing all right.

However, Chen Xiaolian was unable to make contact with any of them. All he could do was rest in the hotel for the night before taking a plane back home the next day.

…

After 20 hours, Chen Xiaolian finally arrived back in China.

During this time, he had used the guild channel to contact his guild members who were at home, mainly Roddy.

According to Roddy, there were nothing unusual going on. During the time that Chen Xiaolian was not around, everything appeared normal with the world.

There was one exception. A large-scale refreshing process had appeared in the sky. It appeared as though a large-scale refresh was happening, but it then disappeared.

Roddy was unable to detect anything abnormal after that.

When Chen Xiaolian was on the plane, he drifted between the state of wakefulness and sleep as he went over what he had encountered back in Zero City repeatedly. He attempted to figure out clues from the incident.

Just… … just did I do back when I was in Room Zero?

…

Unknown to Chen Xiaolian, Roddy and the other members of Meteor Rock Guild…

In the past 20 hours, part of the Awakened circle in this world went mad as they spread a certain news.

Zero City could not be contacted anymore.

Disregarding the common Awakened ones, there were naturally some outstanding Awakened ones who would have some relationship with the resident guilds of Zero City. Some were the peripheral members of the resident guilds, some had cooperative relationship with the resident guilds and some had special qualifications to access Zero City.

However, in the past 20 hours, all of them were shocked to find that they had lost contact with Zero City, the final home of the Awakened ones.

No one could make contact with Zero City. No one could enter Zero City. No one could make contact with the people of Zero City.

Chen Xiaolian did not know about those matters. If he had known, he would find it very strange. The closure of Zero City’s passageways was not difficult to comprehend.

However, so many of Zero City’s people had escaped through the temporary teleportation portal. Yet, none of them could be contacted.
