Hyperthermal Hell || Apocalypse Paradise #1 [Complete]

67: Good Evening, Dear Members!

Before Lin Sanjiu's fist could reach Professor Bai, one of Griselda's arms rapidly swelled up. Without saying a word, Griselda stepped forward and swept her arm toward Lin Sanjiu, who in turn flipped backward and evaded the attack. She immediately stared back at Griselda coldly.

The brown rabbit in her hands was almost driven mad with anger. "If you want to die, don't bring me with you! Let me down!"

Lin Sanjiu ignored him. Her heaving chest and her bulging veins were more than enough indicator that she was incensed.

Xu Xiaoyang's expression was no better. "I've already warned you! If you dare to hurt my mom, I won't hold back—"

"Are you crazy?" Lin Sanjiu did not turn to look at Xu Xiaoyang. "Who knows how many posthumans you've killed! Just for them to live another 14 months?!" Lin Sanjiu hollered as she continued staring down Professor Bai.

"What do you mean?" Professor Bai looked back at Lin Sanjiu, not knowing whether to laugh or cry; it was as if she was looking at a child throwing a tantrum. "I've already told you. I want to help these people so that they can repopulate the world and rebuild civilization!"

"My mom might've let you down, but she did this for the greater good..." Xu Xiaoyang retorted furiously. Her small face was flushed with anger at Lin Sanjiu's rudeness toward her mom.

Lin Sanjiu paused for a moment as if suddenly realizing something. She instantly exchanged glances with Marcie, and they both became visibly appalled.

If she thought about it carefully, she had never heard anyone mention it before during their time in the Oasis...

Lin Sanjiu looked at Hu Changzai's perplexed face. She lifted the rabbit in her hand and asked hoarsely, "Hu Changzai, Rabbit, I have a question for you both. Do you know anything about 'the random die' and the next world?"

For a few seconds, there was pure silence. Even without hearing their replies, Lin Sanjiu already knew their answers just from the looks on their faces. Marcie covered her face as she let out a long sigh. Noticing the unusual reaction of the two women, Hu Changzai felt anxious, sensing that there was something wrong. "What do you mean by the next world? Please explain things clearly to us!"

Professor Bai also raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Oh God!" Lin Sanjiu felt a bitter taste in her mouth. She truly didn't know how to put it in words. "Posthumans can only stay in a single world for 14 months. After 14 months, you'll be randomly sent to another world... It will still be an apocalyptic world, but only worse."

Everyone, excluding Marcie, gave her a "you're crazy" look.

"She's telling the truth," Marcie said solemnly as she stepped forward. "I came from another world... In my original world, a deadly virus was accidentally released from a lab. Since it was airborne, about 95% of the human population was wiped out before the experts developed an antiviral serum."

A crack finally appeared on Professor Bai's calm and tranquil face. She gasped at Marcie and mumbled, "I... I don't understand... How is this possible..."

Hu Changzai sat down on the ground with a thud and smiled bitterly as he muttered to himself, "She's telling the truth..."

"If I'm not wrong, the duoluozhong that 'helped' you must be from another world!" Lin Sanjiu said as she shook her head. "If he isn't from another world, how do you explain why he had those technologies? Whatever he gave you would have brought about a technological revolution... Didn't you ever suspect anything?"

Professor Bai was in a daze, her face turning pale as she seemingly realized something. "Wait... Wait. You mean..."

Lin Sanjiu sighed.
