Chapter 1245: The First Morning of the Apocalypse

Dong Lijia and Dong Xinxin chose a relatively remote area in the city to settle down. A few modified off-road cars and three trucks were parked downstairs.

Except for the four members of Dong Family, no one else knew what they were doing. However, since they were hired by the family, they had no choice but to follow their employer’s command.

About ten people were caught by Dong Lijia and Mr. Dong, and put under confinement. It had been over a month. At the moment, those people had either calmed down or grown numb about their own situation.

Dong Lijia had told them that they could choose to leave after the coming night. So far, those people had no idea why Dong Family caught them and locked them up, and then provided them with food and accommodation without asking them to do anything. They were treated well, but their freedom was limited.

They tried to resist at first, but no matter what they did, they could not free themselves. Over time, they calmed down and accepted Dong Lijia’s explanation. After the coming night, they would be able to make choices anyway.

“Why do they have to stay with us?” Dong Lijia went to Dong Xinxin’s room and asked her.

After giving Dong Xinxin her body back, Lin Wenwen stayed in Dong Xinxin’s weird small space, reading a book. The small space was very unusual. She could feel it, but not put anything in it, except for Lin Wenwen. She wasn’t able to put other people in or out of that space either.

She had no idea about the nature of the small space.

“Because they’ll be helpful to us. Just stop asking me about that. Don’t forget to check every entrance, and make sure it’s sealed off. Tonight, people might not feel anything,” Dong Xinxin waved at him and reminded him.

In the coming night, people would fall in deep sleep, and then their bodies would start to change slowly. If one left the door open, the zombies might get into that person’s place in the morning before he or she woke up, which would be troublesome.

“I know. Didn’t you say that all the people here won’t turn into zombies? No other people live near this building. If anyone here would have a problem, that’d be someone inside this building,” Dong Lijia nodded.

“I remember those people and what happened to them the last time. However, I can’t guarantee that things will stay exactly the same as the last time,” Dong Xinxin shrugged.

What if she didn’t remember rightly, or, what if there were to be an accident?

They needed to be prepared for all possible situations!

The sky grew darker and darker. The moon was supposed to be seen that night. It wouldn’t be a full moon, but still, there would be some light to illuminate the world. But for some reason, the moonlight was very faint, and even that faded at last.

Dong Xinxin locked the door and window, then turned on the light and lay down on the bed. She didn’t sleep, but stared at the ceiling.

Click! The light flicked and died; the room instantly fell into darkness.

Dong Xinxin started to have a weird feeling. She felt as if she were falling. Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, so much so that she could barely keep her eyes open.

‘Here it comes!’

The people who had fallen asleep already weren’t feeling that. Only the ones like Dong Xinxin, who stayed awake to wait for it to happen, had that feeling. Dong Lijia and his parents stayed awake as well. They realized that something was happening when they started feeling as if they were sinking in water.

In Dong Xinxin’s space, Lin Wenwen was also feeling something different. She felt a pressure from Dong Xinxin’s space. She raised her head and shone her flashlight on the wall, only to find the wall coming closer and closer to her while twisting in a strange way.

She looked around and then realized that the space was shrinking. All four walls and the ceiling were both coming close to her.

Why did the space suddenly start to shrink? Would it crush her? What should she do?

Despite those thoughts, Lin Wenwen wasn’t really worried. She felt that Dong Xinxin’s space was the key for her to go back to the future.

“Xinxin?” Watching the twisting space, Lin Wenwen called Dong Xinxin, yet no response was heard. “Dong Xinxin?” she called her again.

Still, Dong Xinxin didn’t reply to her.

Lin Wenwen figured that the mutation of Dong Xinxin’s body had begun. That was why the small space started changing too. As the walls came closer and closer to her, she felt a stronger and stronger pressure. She closed her eyes and felt as if something was pressing on her chest, disabling her from breathing.

When she started feeling suffocated, her head grew heavy. Then, her mind was blurred and she gradually lost consciousness.

After Lin Wenwen fell into unconsciousness, the space squeezed her entire body and twisted into a swirl along with her. Next, both Lin Wenwen and the space disappeared.

Dong Xinxin, who was also unconscious, didn’t know that Lin Wenwen was gone. Everyone in the building was lying quietly in the dark room, with their eyes closed. Of course, the people in the whole world were all in the same state at that moment.

Some of them gradually stopped breathing and died. In the darkness, their faces started turning pale and bluish. Their eye areas became dark, and their hair grew dry and lusterless. Their nails started growing long and sharp, and their joints became stiff.

Soon, dawn arrived, and a dim, gray light spread from the edge of the sky.

In a building, a couple were lying together in a bedroom. The man’s face was pale, and eyes strangely dark. His black and shiny hair had become like straws.

The woman looked the same as usual. She woke up and rolled her eyeballs slightly as she opened her eyes. After spending a few seconds in a daze, she focused her eyes and then turned to look at her husband.

“Ah… D-darling?” She turned to see her husbands’ pale face and huge dark circles under his eyes. His lips were blue, and hair were yellow and dry. The woman gave a start, then automatically moved backward as she screamed out loud.

Hearing the scream, the man opened his eyes. His eyeballs were purely black, looking terribly creepy.

“Ahhhhhhh!”
