Since things had come to this point, Cheng Wenwen naturally wouldn't hide anything and simply told the whole story.

"When we had our first meeting, we said our primary objective was to 'find the lost continent,' right?"

She asked, and seeing Shi Jinwei nod, she threw out another question: "So, do you know what a server is?"

Shi Jinwei's eyes flickered: "I don't know, this is the first time I've heard of a joint mission. Didn't the commanders say that only the top leaders know about it?"

"Pretty much. When my brother first went missing, the intelligence we bought on the black market didn't include this information. Later, we secretly arrested a retired high-ranking official and hypnotized him."

Cheng Wenwen said that Shi Jinwei silently gave a thumbs up when she heard this.

Your family is really daring, even daring to target the leadership.

To everyone's surprise, Cheng Wenwen's face darkened as she said this: "Unexpectedly, when we hypnotized him and asked him about the server, he suddenly confessed. We later found out that all of these people who retired had been hypnotized, and they were not allowed to talk about anything related to the 'server.' If they disobeyed, they would confess."

At this point, the Cheng family realized that the situation was perhaps more complex than they had imagined.

This means that the eldest brother of the Cheng family may return, or he may not appear...

Once this idea came to mind, the Cheng family became even more determined to find out everything.

Until a 3S-level mental ability user appeared in the Cheng family.

They captured another retired high-ranking official and had this superhuman use his mental power to control the man's mind.

"This is an extremely dangerous thing. If it gets out of control, my sister's mental health will also suffer."

Cheng Wenwen smiled wryly, which was tantamount to telling Shi Jinwei just how dangerous this was.

Fortunately, this time it was successful, and they finally found out what that server was.

"It is said that this server has a name, 'Life Space.' It was a massive, world-class project before the apocalypse, in which almost every country on the planet participated."

But these leaders didn't know what was inside the living space.

According to information left before the apocalypse, countless people participated in this project, making it a great feat of humankind.

"If you don't know, why put us at risk?" Shi Jinwei asked the crucial question.

In a post-apocalyptic world where the population is already small, sending so many people to search for some unknown server sounds absurd.

"That involves another secret," she said.

Shi Jinwei listened attentively, and couldn't hide the surprise on her face after hearing it.

This skill seems somewhat similar to Feng Xiaoyu's (the green tea girl from Nameless Island).

According to Cheng Wenwen, many new skills have indeed been created since humans began conducting human experiments.

The most unique of them all is the "prophet".

As the name suggests, prophets can predict future events, but not always.

There is a cause and an effect; the "foresight" skill allows one to predict some things in the future, but at the cost of life.

To date, only two "prophets" have appeared among those with superpowers.

The first prophet appeared around the time of the "Garbage Mountain" dungeon.

At that time, people who were immune to radiation became highly sought-after by various experimental institutions.

The prophet said that this would be the last group of humans to be immune to radiation.

At the time, those high-ranking officials and scientists thought it was just a pipe dream.

But when the last immune cell died in the laboratory, they were horrified to discover that there were no more immune cells in the garbage city outside.

This resulted in the city of garbage being left with no survivors.

Unless they can get protective suits and air purifiers in time.

The prophet's second prophecy stated that an even greater calamity would follow the end times.

Then zombies and other strange creatures appeared one after another.

This makes everyone believe that the prophet is not a charlatan, but really has this ability.

However, that prophet's ability level was too low, and predicting things once consumed more of his lifespan.

The last prophecy was: there will be another prophet afterward, who will also be the last prophet, and that's it.

The higher-ups could no longer sit still and immediately went to find the prophet.

"Found it?" Shi Jinwei asked.

Cheng Wenwen nodded: "We found it, and that's when the 'joint operation' came about."

This prophet was more capable than the previous one, and the first thing he said after being found was, "You have finally come."

The second sentence was: "We must find a server; that's our only hope."

When the leadership received this news, their hearts sank.

They only just obtained the information; how did this person know it?

They then secretly traveled to the central city, held a secret meeting with the prophet, and then organized a "joint operation".

Hearing this, Shi Jinwei couldn't help but ask again, "Where is that prophet now?"

"He went out to sea with them," Cheng Wenwen said.

Shi Jinwei asked in surprise, "They're letting such a precious child take such a risk?"

"There's nothing we can do even if they don't allow it. Back then, if we really had to go to sea, perhaps only the prophet could find the lost continent."

This is also why Cheng Wenwen insisted on joining the mission.

Since the prophet went out to sea with them, the first group of mission takers may have found the lost continent.

As for why there has been no news until now, she guessed that they were probably trapped on the island.

After all, the technology six years ago was incomparable to that of today; back then, only two large ships went to sea.

Based on their experience, it's hard to say how long those two large ships could hold out at sea.

There are also dinosaurs in the painting and eeriness everywhere.

Given the strength and equipment of that group of superhumans at the time, encountering the strange entity would have been tantamount to suicide.

At this point, Cheng Wenwen had revealed all her secrets.

"If what you're saying is true, is it possible that this diary isn't your brother's, but rather the Prophet's?" Shi Jinwei asked Cheng Wenwen.

She shook her head: "Impossible, I can recognize my brother's painting at a glance."

"How could he have drawn these? Unless he knew the prophet and received prior information."

"That's what I thought too, but none of my brother's friends have gone missing."

So there's only one possibility left: the prophet found the eldest brother of the Cheng family.

"What is your brother's special ability?" Shi Jinwei suddenly asked.

"Programmer," Cheng Wenwen blurted out.

Judging from her expression, it seemed that she had been guessing this all along, and Shi Jinwei had a better understanding of the situation.

The eldest brother of the Cheng family will definitely need to use his skills once the server is found.

Therefore, the first group of mission takers may very well have actually found a server.

But what puzzled Shi Jinwei was that if a prophet could foresee everything.

Then they must know that there will be mission takers going out to sea again six years later.

The second batch of mission takers, in terms of both strength and equipment, were far superior to those of six years ago.

If that's the case, why insist on going right then and there?
