Doomsday Wonderland-Chapter 1372: One in Four Billion and One
Chapter 1372: One in Four Billion and One
Leaning against something warm, Lin Sanjiu found herself immobilized.
Her body teetered on the verge of death, yet she had reached a turning point in her life. Death had never felt so imminent. She shut her eyes in the dim and rainy surroundings, squeezing out the rainwater, then opened them again. The two figures charging towards her became larger and clearer.
"Sis, sis!"
Someone slipped a hand behind her neck, lifting her head that she couldn't lift, and gently helped her up. Ji Shanqing's voice was distorted by anxiety and fear, clearly such an articulate child, but now besides calling out "sis" repeatedly, it seemed like he couldn't say anything else.
"Don't panic." Another voice sounded from the side, sharp enough to cut through metal, "Left shoulder, stop the bleeding!"
A stark contrast to his usual gentleness, Lin Sanjiu could hardly believe this was Silvan speaking.
"There are only two of them. Our armored vehicles are still here," a voice from the dock's rear called out, cutting through the noisy rain. "We have requested reinforcements and are reassembling now!"
Although it was supposed to be an order from the internal communication system, it sounded from all the loudspeakers nearby. Good... Han Suiping was still safe.
Lin Sanjiu slowly opened her eyes, under the dark sky, the wind and rain raged on, and a lightning bolt burst from the rolling dark clouds. Raindrops relentlessly pounded her face, quickly blurring her vision. She made several attempts to speak, finally hearing the grand prize anxiously asking beside her, "Sis, what did you say?"
"Don't do anything for now," she said, trying to prop herself up with her still intact arm. Silvan hurriedly helped her into his arms, allowing her to sit up slightly upright. As soon as the words were out, both of them paused; the heavy rain kept pouring down, temporarily drowning out the sound of treads rolling over the ground on the dock.
"Why?" Silvan asked softly, his voice filled with concern.
Whatever the grand prize was doing, his first aid measures were taking effect rapidly. The loss of life force was slowing down, and Lin Sanjiu began to feel the strength to speak again. "This... is not an apocalypse world." She looked at the two people in front of her, drenched all over, and spoke in a low voice, "If you attack now... the world will end. So many lives... will be lost in the doomsday."
She could hear her voice, amplified countless times, resonating from all directions through the rain curtain. This time, no news helicopter could demand that the broadcast be cut off.
"I understand now, sis. What do you intend for this world?" the grand prize asked softly. This sentence was also swept away, resonating throughout the earth.
Lin Sanjiu was taken aback. She hadn't thought about what she wanted to do with this world.
Before she could answer, Silvan suddenly put her back against something that was no longer warm—this time, she clearly saw that it was a bombshell drenched in the rain. Silvan stood tall and upright, whispering, "They're going to act. I'll go stop them... Don't worry, I'll just stop them."
As artillery, gunfire, the storm, and posthuman assaults swept through the world again, Lin Sanjiu felt a mild tremor in the ground beneath her. Yet, there was only rainfall in her immediate vicinity. Silvan, alone on the expansive battlefield, held the war at bay from his fingertips, positioning himself as the divide between two worlds—one in front of him and one behind him.
Ji Shanqing bent down and covered Lin Sanjiu's ears with his cold hands.
As her hearing improved and her thoughts clarified, Lin Sanjiu finally dared to let the black mist disperse and revert to a kidney without dying instantly after losing her posthuman flesh. She parted her lips, and some cool liquid flowed into her mouth. "It will be fine soon," the grand prize said, trembling. "The pain will be gone soon."

Silvan had barely been out there for a moment when the opposing gunfire ceased again. This time, they seemed shocked, their fear condensing into dead quiet.
One was unkillable, while the other had completely lost the significance of fighting.
"Forward, the lawless viol..." The loudspeaker was cut off halfway through, then after a few seconds, a different voice replaced it, shouting at them through the rain, "I am the major general in charge of this operation, and I demand negotiations!"
"Help me up..." Lin Sanjiu said, reaching out and grabbing Ji Shanqing's arm. "I want to go."
"To negotiate?" Ji Shanqing's face turned pale from the rain, and his dark hair stuck to it, but he didn't look at anything else. He just kept his eyes fixed on her. "Sis, you don't have to. As long as you leave this place, whether it's tens of millions or billions of deaths, it's just a number. You can get on the ship now. Leave the rest to us."
The child seemed to be extremely angry.
Lin Sanjiu smiled at him, wrapped her arms around his shoulders, and leaned against him. She whispered, "You know, I think the luckiest thing in my life is to have you."
Ji Shanqing suddenly closed his mouth.
Lin Sanjiu limped towards Silvan's back with the grand prize's support. He noticed the movement and turned his head. In the heavy rain, his blond hair and green eyes became dense black along with the skylight. "I thought you might have something to say," he gently reached out to Lin Sanjiu, and the wet clothes clearly outlined his arm. "So, I asked them to come over."
Several armored vehicles approached, and the bright light of the searchlights tore through the rain curtain, illuminating a dazzling empty space between the two worlds Silvan had created. A few figures in military uniforms climbed down from the armored vehicles, surrounding a man who walked forward slowly and stopped at a distance.
"You have disrupted the stability and balance of our world," the major general said with furrowed eyebrows, staring at Lin Sanjiu momentarily. "What do you want now?"
Lin Sanjiu's gaze passed the major general and the people behind him, falling into a farther place in the world.
She had an idea.

He Huan sighed softly.
Even after Lin Sanjiu successfully sent the message, leaving this world still seemed like a distant and slightly ridiculous thought to him. The universe was vast, even beyond human comprehension. It would take a long time for her message to reach the recipient's hands, and then the recipient would need more time to come here—according to normal circumstances, it would take at least a few years.
But this time, normal circumstances failed.
"I will take you across the border and go around to the other side of the dock." He suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind and turned to the girl next to him, saying, "Can you see that direction? We will rush over from there and join them."
Wu Lun was soaked all over, standing in the cold rain, shivering, but she nodded. She didn't dare to look at He Huan and spoke with fear and gratitude mixed in her voice, "Th-thank you for saving me... Are you coming with me, Miss Anku?"
He Huan nodded and stepped over a corpse, gesturing for her to follow. "As you can see, I am also a posthuman," he said, hearing his own voice sound bitter in his throat, "and I also want to go with them."
Wu Lun hesitated and avoided the corpse that was guarding her a moment ago, following him hastily. "She will take you away," the young girl said softly. "I haven't known her for long, but I just know..."
