Doomsday Savior (1): The one who predicts the end of the world

Si Qi lived until he was ninety-seven years old in the previous world. Only after he saw with his own eyes that China had developed an interstellar battleship and mankind had stepped from the solar system into the wider universe did he close his eyes with contentment.

When he woke up again, everything around him was different.

“How do you feel? Are you feeling better?”

The young man smiled and placed the porridge in front of Si Qi. “Don’t worry about your job. I’ve asked your boss for leave on your behalf. Really, if I hadn’t noticed that you were sick, would you have gone to work like this?”

Si Qi took the porridge silently without saying anything, while sorting out the memories of this world. The young man said again: “I said, I am your friend, if you encounter any difficulties, just come to me, I will definitely rush to you as soon as possible.”

The person who spoke had a gentle tone and a bright smile. Si Qi looked into his eyes quietly and found that there was no trace of smile in his dark eyes.

After organizing his thoughts, Si Qi said calmly, “Thank you, you still have to go to school. I’m fine here, I just need a good sleep.”

“Classes are not as important as your health. You are alone. If you encounter any problems, you don’t even have anyone to help you…Okay, I get it. I will come to see you at noon. Is there anything you want to eat?”

Si Qi: “I don’t have much appetite, you don’t have to come over.”

Young man: “You have to eat something, so I’ll just take care of it.”

After saying that, the young man considerately filled the cup with water, picked up a stool to make a temporary bedside table, and placed it where Si Qi could easily reach it.

Then he reminded him to call him anytime if anything happened, and then he pushed the door and left the dark and cramped rental house. 

Si Qi watched the other person leave expressionlessly and slowly stood up.

Xiu Xiu was a little worried: [Master, your health is not very good, you should lie down and rest for a while! ]

Si Qi: [It’s nothing, just a high fever from awakening my special ability]

Si Qi was now in a world where the end of the world was coming. The end of the world had caused the animals and plants around the world to mutate, and zombies and ability users had appeared among humans. The original owner was an ability user, and he had a very rare ability to predict the future.

Once this ability was fully utilized, it was self-evident how powerful the effect could be.

But as long as it was an ability, there would be limitations. After the original owner awakened his special ability, his body became weak and he fell ill every other day. This was fine in the peaceful world in the past, but it was fatal in the world after the end of the world.

Moreover, in the early days after the end of the world, the existence of people with special abilities was not known to the public, and the original owner did not know that he had awakened special abilities.

On the day of doomsday, he lay drowsy at home, relying on his intermittent “intuition” to kill a zombie that broke into his house.

More zombies heard the commotion and gathered around, blocking the door to his house. It seemed that he was going to die there.

Li Si, the Son of the World, who led his team to the scene in a hurry, used his special ability to save the original owner. He said to the original owner, who was an orphan and had no friends since childhood, “I don’t care whether you will be a burden to me. Normally, I can’t let you go. Now that the doomsday has come and you are sick, I can’t abandon you because we are friends!”

This caused the original owner, whose life was miserable and seemed like a stagnant pool of water, to feel a slight ripple in his heart.

For the first time in his life, he thought that having a friend with whom he could entrust his life might be a good idea… In the end, the original owner did die for Li Si.

However, it was not the kind of tragic sacrifice to save others, but being treated like a blood cow, having their flesh cut and blood drained continuously, causing them to get sick and die.

Before the end of the world, Li Si took the initiative to approach the original owner and tried every means to become his friend. Of course, it was not because the original owner’s gloomy and withdrawn personality was so attractive, nor because he was such a good person. It was purely because Li Si was a reborn person, and he knew how powerful the original owner’s abilities would be when they were fully utilized, so he targeted the original owner in advance, wanting to ensure that when the doomsday broke out, he could control the original owner as his own private property.

When the original owner foresaw his future and prepared to escape without saying a word, he discovered that the safe house arranged for him by Li Si was actually full of guards and was surrounded by spies who were watching him and preventing him from escaping.

After noticing that the original owner was trying to use his abilities to escape, Li Si unceremoniously chopped off his hands and feet with an ax, tied his neck with a chain, and chained him in the house. He also had a life-related ability user hanging on to his life, constantly forcing the original owner to use his ability to help him open up territory, subdue his men, and eliminate enemies.

The original owner was trapped in a dark little room like this. He had not eaten or drank for several years and was in excruciating pain, but he could not die at all. He lived a life accompanied by despair, unable to live or die.

Until one day in the future, he “saw with his own eyes” that the Son of the World became a top-level ability users, ruling the world with tough means, and no one in the world could compete with him.

The mission assigned to him by the world ended here, and he could finally end his miserable life in the dim room.

…

This time, the Son of the World was a scumbag again.

Si Qi rubbed his brows to relieve the discomfort in his body.

Ignoring the mission request issued by the small world to “use the ability of prophecy to assist the Son of the World”, Si Qi closed his eyes and looked for a suitable target person, recalling the feeling of the original owner using his special ability.

Not long after, he found the man, stood up by leaning against the bed, went out and hailed a taxi.

The taxi driver noticed that Si Qi was moving slowly and awkwardly when he got into the taxi. He glanced at Si Qi’s pale face in the rearview mirror and asked with concern, “Are you going to the hospital?”

Si Qi said tiredly, “Let’s go to Changhe Street.”

Xiu Xiu asked curiously: [Master, who are you looking for?]

Si Qi: [Someone who is powerful, trusts me, and is willing to help me unconditionally]

Xiu Xiu was surprised: [Can you still use the prophecy power to find someone like this?]

Si Qi: [Yes, but it’s difficult. I can only find him in China.]

Xiu Xiu was curious: [What is his name? ]

Si Qi: [Lei Feng]

Xiuxiu: […………]

Si Qi: […………]

Xiu Xiu laughed awkwardly: [Master, are you sure you are not joking? ]

Si Qi: [No, that’s his name]

The car drove for more than forty minutes and finally arrived at Changhe Street.

Si Qi: [Lei Feng just happened to come here to pick up something today, so I can run into him here. Otherwise, he is usually under protection in the army or in the family, so it is difficult to meet him.]

Xiu Xiu was shocked: [The ability to predict is really useful]

[Yes] Si Qi coughed and said: [The next step is to make him believe what I say]

He walked through the long and quiet bamboo forest, panting every three steps and resting every five steps, and came to a courtyard. He opened the unlocked black gate, walked through the quiet and deserted courtyard, and rang the doorbell beside it.

After a moment, steady and powerful footsteps were heard from behind the door, and a male voice came through the door: “Who is it?”

Si Qi took a step back, and the door opened outwards, revealing a young man standing behind him.

The other person was tall and strong, with a sturdy body, and it was obvious at first glance that he was a martial artist.

There was a sense of scrutiny and pressure in his eyes, which made people unconsciously straighten their backs in front of him and wait for him seriously.

His neat hairstyle reveals his entire forehead, which made his facial features more three-dimensional and exuded a sharp sense of majesty and shock.

Si Qi looked at the man in front of him calmly, with a slight sense of doubt in his heart.

The other person gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but he couldn’t tell why.

“Hello.” Si Qi spoke.

“…………” There was no response for a long time.

Lei Feng stared at the young man in front of him for a long time. After a few breaths, he suddenly came back to his senses.

He subconsciously slowed down his voice, as if he was afraid of scaring the skinny boy who looked like a kitten in front of him.

“Hello, what can I do for you?”

Si Qi asked: “Are you Lei Feng?”

Lei Xun nodded: “It’s me.”

Si Qi thought for a moment and said, “Would it be convenient for me to go in and talk about it? This is not a topic that can be discussed casually outside.”

Lei Feng hesitated for less than a second before making room for the door. “Please come in—No, you don’t need to take off your shoes. The ground is icy.”

He stopped Si Qi from taking off his shoes, and stepped on the freshly cleaned floor in his socks. He served Si Qi tea and water in an unskilled manner, and asked him, “I see you don’t look well, are you sick?”

“Don’t worry about it.” Si Qi said: “Are you going back to your family next?”

Lei Feng put down the cup and paused slightly.

Si Qi: “Let me get this straight to the point. I am a person with the ability to predict the future. As long as I want, nothing in the world can be hidden from me.”

Seeing Lei Feng’s expression suddenly become strange, he said slowly, “If you don’t believe me, you can test me in any way you want. I can answer it.”

Lei Feng said helplessly: “Do you want to play games with me?”

When he first saw the boy, Lei Feng felt a sudden and indescribable sense of concern in his heart, which prevented him from saying anything cruel.

He knew that this was very inconsistent with his usual character, but he just couldn’t control the pity in his heart. He wanted to carefully protect the boy in front of him, just as it was an instinct that people must breathe to live.

Si Qi: “Just treat it as a game. Can you give me three minutes to prove myself?”

Lei Feng hesitated for a moment, walked to the TV cabinet, scribbled a line of words on a piece of paper, and asked the boy, “What did I write?”

Si Qi: “‘What’s your name?’”

Lei Feng’s eyes changed slightly. The boy answered his question correctly.

Si Qi said: “My name is Si Qi.”

Lei Feng wrote on the paper: [Is it this “Si”?]

Si Qi: “Yes.”

Lei Feng: [Is it this “Qi”?]

Si Qi: “No.”

After several rounds of questions and answers, Lei Feng finally looked at Si Qi with a look of incomprehension, and even a hint of suspicion. He said, “Do you know what I want to say next?”

Si Qi was silent for a moment, then said, “Are you asking about my age? Just as you thought, I am not yet an adult. I am only seventeen years old.”

Lei Feng’s expression changed slightly, and he thought of a question in his mind, “What now?”

Si Qi: “I’m a local.”

Lei Feng was speechless. He strode over and looked at Si Qi’s face carefully.

Si Qi looked into his calm eyes.

The huge living room suddenly became quiet. After a long time, Lei Feng was the first to be defeated.

He sat on the sofa at the other side with his arms and legs stretched out, frowning and saying, “I’m afraid I’ve gone crazy…”

Why did he inexplicably want to believe the boy in front of him, even though what he said was so absurd and unruly.

Si Qi: “You can continue the test.”

Lei Feng shook his head. “No need. You came to see me… there must be a reason, right?”

Si Qi nodded slightly, took a sip of warm water, and said, “The end of the world is coming.”

Lei Feng’s eyes widened slightly, and after a moment he lowered his head in a self-deprecating manner, rubbed his eyebrows with two fingers, and whispered to himself: “I’m really crazy…”

Why did such an absurd thing coming out of the young man’s firm mouth make him want to believe it involuntarily?

He raised his head and looked at the boy’s fair and handsome face. With a doubtful attitude, he said to him, “Can you tell me more about it?”

Si Qi curled his lips, “Of course.”

As long as he could keep the conversation going, he could always make the person completely trust him.

As he spoke, he observed Lei Feng silently.

The man opposite gave Si Qi a strong sense of familiarity, and this familiarity finally found the answer after Si Qi and Lei Feng sat opposite each other and talked for a few minutes.

It was the eyes.

The look Lei Feng gave him was reassuring, just like the look given by the many close friends he had met in other worlds who had accompanied him throughout his life and had a life-and-death friendship with him.

Even if Si Qi could mistake other looks, he would never mistake this one because he used to see it every day.

Si Qi said: “The doomsday will break out in a week. At that time, ‘zombies’ will appear among humans who have lost their rationality and have a strong desire to attack. People caught by zombies will be infected. If the situation is not controlled from the beginning, the whole world will be in crisis.”

Lei Feng frowned: “So you came to me because you think I can solve this problem?”

Si Qi nodded, confirming Lei Feng’s idea: “I can only rely on you.”

Lei Feng took a deep breath and said, “This is no small matter. If we want to be able to control the actions of every zombie in the country in advance, the manpower required and the impact caused are immeasurable. Do you know what this means?”

Si Qi said seriously: “I know, that’s why I found you.”

Lei Feng frowned, lowered his head and his eyes flickered. After a moment, he raised his head and looked at Si Qi deeply.

Si Qi said: “I don’t mind whatever choice you make.”

Lei Feng smiled bitterly.

Before he even said a word, the boy had already guessed it.

“Didn’t you come to me after seeing the result? You must know that I will help you.”

Si Qi nodded slowly, and Lei Feng calmed down. He recalled every word the boy had said just now, and could not find any logical loopholes. If there was no mistake in something, then it was very likely to be true, no matter how bizarre it sounded.

Considering the consequences if this incident was true, the cost of so many lives made Lei Feng dare not take the risk. He pondered for a long time, and finally said resolutely: “Then do it! But…”

Lei Feng looked at Si Qi carefully and softened his tone, almost making Si Qi think he had misheard. “But before that, come with me to the hospital. You must be sick. Have you taken medicine?”

Si Qi was slightly startled, and subconsciously said: “Not yet…”

…

The head of the Lei family was furious.

The door of the study was still open, and people coming and going outside could hear and see what was going on inside.

However, the clan leader did not give any face to the heir who he had high hopes for, and roared: “Do you know what you are talking about? The end of the world? Zombies are coming? Lei Feng! Are you crazy? You can even say such things!”

He threw the document handed over by Lei Feng on the table to the ground, pointed at Lei Feng’s nose and cursed: “Get out of here!”

There were quite a few people gathered outside, but not all of them were there to laugh. Some were whispering to each other, wondering, “What happened to the youngest master?”

“He is always serious about his work, it is impossible for him to say such nonsense…”

“Is it because of the relationship with the eldest wife…”

“Shh! Shut up! The young master is here!”

A man in his early thirties walked over, and the crowd unconsciously made way for him.

The eldest master looked calm, but there was an indescribable smile in the corners of his eyes. He walked into the study and pretended to be puzzled and asked, “What happened? Why are you so angry, Master?”

He looked at Lei Feng, who was standing aside with an unmoved expression, and said jokingly, “Could it be that our youngest has caused something to make you unhappy? Little Feng, quickly apologize to grandpa and stop being so stubborn. Did grandpa teach you wrongly when he was teaching you?”

These words were really well said. When the clan leader saw Lei Feng’s calm face without any shame at all, he became even angrier. He pointed at Lei Feng’s nose and said angrily: “You, you, you are so confused! You can even make up such a ridiculous thing, do you think this is a joke?!”

The eldest master looked down at the scattered documents at his feet, bent down to pick them up, glanced at them for a few seconds, and then laughed out loud.

“When the end of the world comes, mobilize the whole country to capture all the infected zombies and let all residents stay at home and not go out…hahahaha.”

The eldest master looked at Lei Feng with a mixture of laughter and tears, his tone full of shame and schadenfreude.
