Doomsday Club

Twenty years later, someone is erasing the truth about the apocalypse.

This promise is absolutely certain.

Whether it's the unusual events at the market or the disappearance of news reports.

The truth about that disaster is entirely controlled by people with ulterior motives.

Who caused that apocalypse?

Or is it someone else?

Xu Nuo didn't know.

This is the downside of time travel.

He did have countless opportunities to try and fail, but every time he traveled through time, he would wake up at the same point in time.

This resulted in his understanding of the apocalypse being very one-sided.

He did survive the apocalypse for a long time, but no matter how many times he came, the apocalypse he experienced was only for about twenty days.

I don't know how the relationships between people have become like this, I haven't experienced the harsh natural environment after the apocalypse, and I don't know the key events that have happened in the twenty years since the apocalypse.

Our understanding of the apocalypse, as well as the information we have access to, is far too limited.

Compared to locals like Lin Xiaoxiao in the current timeline, his limitations are far too great.

"You actually know this?"

Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at Xu Nuo with some surprise: "That's right, someone is indeed hiding the truth about the apocalypse."

She smiled and said, "It's been twenty years since the apocalypse. Aren't you curious why no legitimate organization has emerged yet?"

Speaking of it.

Xu Nuo suddenly looked up and finally understood where her strange feeling had been coming from.

Twenty years have passed since that disaster.

Even if the disaster killed most of humanity, there should still be lucky ones like Lin Xiaoxiao who managed to escape the apocalypse and survive.

Where there are people, there is civilization, and there will always be survivors who try to restore civilization.

Twenty years should have passed; things shouldn't have descended into this chaotic state.

But now.

Everyone lives like rats, and the default relationship between people is hostile, with no even the most basic trust.

He hadn't initially sensed anything was wrong, since he hadn't survived in the apocalypse for an extended period, so he just felt something was amiss.

Whether it's the time spent living there, the people you meet, or the places you visit.

His experience of the apocalypse was limited.

It only lasted for 24 days.

Now that I've heard Lin Xiaoxiao say it, it's really a bit terrifying to think about.

"When the apocalypse happened twenty years ago, the survivors attempted to rebuild civilized order."

"And they did succeed, gathering a group of survivors and using their knowledge to rebuild their homes in the wasteland."

Lin Xiaoxiao began to speak, recounting a part of history that Xu Nuo was unaware of.

"And the result?" Xu Nuo pressed.

"Overnight, everyone seemed to have vanished into thin air," Lin Xiaoxiao said, her voice filled with lingering fear. "Even their rebuilt homes were reduced to ruins."

Xu Nuo understood what was left unsaid.

This has definitely happened more than once.

All those who attempt to restore civilization will be wiped out overnight.

Anyone who attempts to restore order will be eliminated.

Until no one dared to try it.

"So, if anyone knows the truth about the apocalypse..."

"Doomsday Lord!"

The two looked at each other and spoke in unison.

From the moment the other party called him "the destroyer of the world," Xu Nuo knew that this bastard was definitely suspicious, but he never expected that the things involved would be so big.

I thought I would finally learn the truth from Lin Xiaoxiao, but the clues ultimately pointed to the market.

Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at Xu Nuo without showing any emotion.

This person is really too mysterious.

He showed no signs of being ravaged by the apocalypse and knew almost nothing about what had happened in recent years.

I thought this guy had been hiding in some disaster shelter and had just come out, but it turns out that his understanding of certain things is even more acute than mine, who has been investigating this for over a decade.

Lin Xiaoxiao only recently uncovered the anomalies surrounding the Doomsday Lord, a discovery that nearly cost her her life.

But what about the guy in front of me? How did he know?

Fortunately, they share the same goal for the time being.

They could easily become allies for the time being.

Without saying anything to expose Xu Nuo's flaws, her vigilance towards him increased to a new level.

Xu Nuo, of course, had no idea what Lin Xiaoxiao was thinking.

He received so many messages today that he needs to sort them out properly.

What exactly was that white light?

What role did Lin Xiaoxiao's father play in this apocalypse?

Who destroyed civilization?

Whom is the Doomsday Lord working for?

Why does he call himself "the destroyer of the world"?

……

Some things can be understood quickly, while others are completely beyond our comprehension.

The most important factor was the timing of that disaster.

2026 12 Month 12 Day.

This year!

The unprecedented sense of urgency felt like someone was chasing you in a jeep.

He only had less than a year left.

His inexplicable irritability prevented him from noticing the change in Lin Xiaoxiao in front of him.

Thinking about the key points.

He suddenly stood up and carefully observed the basement walls.

Seeing Xu Nuo banging on her own wall, Lin Xiaoxiao guessed his intention: "No need to look, it is indeed a specially made room."

"It's almost as if it was specifically designed to deal with that white light."

"As for the material, I have also analyzed it. It is a composite material that I have never seen before."

"Strong, flexible, and with excellent thermal insulation."

Without any intention of hiding anything from Xu Nuo, Lin Xiaoxiao told him everything she knew.

And indeed, it was just as she said.

I've never seen this kind of material before.

It feels like glass, but sounds like metal when tapped.

It was completely different from any material he had ever seen or heard of.

This discovery shattered the ostrich's dream of building a basement to escape the apocalypse.

However, he didn't dwell on it.

After gathering and collecting all the clues, he only needs to do two things at this stage.

In the real timeline, investigate Lin Xiaoxiao's father.

In the apocalyptic timeline, seize the Doomsday Lord.

He sat back down on the sofa, looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, and suddenly asked, "Interested in pulling off a big heist?"

……

……

……

The third day after the time travel.

Lin Xiaoxiao hid on the hillside outside the market, watching Xu Nuo walk into the market as if she had seen a ghost.

Recalling what Xu promised to say that night, she still feels like she's dreaming.

"I know you don't trust me yet."

"I understand."

"After all, who knows if this guy who suddenly appears is an undercover agent sent by some organization?"

"However, please believe me, I have no ill intentions towards you." Xu Nuo's tone was sincere.

"My goal is the same as yours, and now is the time for me to show my sincerity."

Xu Nuo smiled calmly, but the words he uttered were no different from those of someone committing suicide.

three days later.

He wanted to go to the market.

He didn't need Lin Xiaoxiao's help; he did it all himself.

Lin Xiaoxiao only needs to be responsible for providing support outside.

If you succeed, you'll provide backup.

It's okay if you fail; you can just leave on your own.

"I will prove—at least prove that I am not on the same side as that lord."

As he said this, he stood up, dusted himself off, and went into the market alone.

"Please don't die!"

Abandoned rooftops outside the market.

Looking towards the market, Lin Xiaoxiao began to care about the lives of other people for the first time.
