Morning.
A melodious background music played through White Snow City's broadcast system.
People woke from their dreams to hear the voice of Administrator Anjie.
"Citizens of White Snow City, a new day is about to begin. To celebrate our consecutive survivals of the Doomsday Catastrophe, we will distribute triple the usual amount of supplies to everyone."
"And to express our gratitude to Mr. Ye, we have decided to move White Snow City's Snow Day Festival forward. We will have three days of holiday starting now, and hold a grand banquet that everyone can attend!"
Cheers erupted throughout the city.
Anjie stood atop the Central Research Institute, smiling as she waved to the people gathering below.
The banquet began immediately.
This sudden holiday and festival sent White Snow City's residents into celebration.
Ye Qiyan leaned against the train window, resting his chin on one hand as he quietly observed the people's state.
Celebrating a festival...
Since entering the wasteland world, it had truly been a long time since he experienced this kind of atmosphere.
Click~
The shutter was pressed.
He turned to look.
Lisette stood not far from him, having just photographed his appearance.
Ye Qiyan felt somewhat helpless.
Since morning, he had used the Celestial Comet Drive and Road Tyrant to take Lisette to various places around White Snow City.
Whether from high altitude or the land outside the city walls.
Whether photographing the city itself, or the Disaster-Avoiding Giant Beast beneath it.
Lisette always found an angle that included him in the photos without affecting their aesthetic appeal.
To be honest.
He looked quite handsome in the photos.
"Mr. Ye."
A gentle voice came from outside the window.
Anjie walked alone to this place.
Soldiers surrounded the area, so no one could come to disturb them, nor could anyone hear their conversation.
"For you."
She held an old-fashioned bottle of red wine in her arms.
"This is wine my father left behind, saying I should drink it after coming of age. Hah, what a pity—I'm still five months short of eighteen. I can only drink it now."
She gently shook three wine glasses.
The pleasant sound of glass touching glass demonstrated these glasses were of quite good quality.
"Mr. Ye, and that sister over there~"
"She doesn't drink."
"Alright, then."
The wine glass was placed before Ye Qiyan.
The cork was pulled, releasing a rich aroma of wine.
Wine that flowed like liquid gemstones poured into the glass.
Anjie drank it all in one gulp.
"Cough, cough... Doesn't seem very tasty either. My father really knew how to trick people, heh..."
She didn't care about her image, sitting on the ground leaning against the train.
Her vision gradually blurred, her voice growing weaker.
"Mr. Ye, can we really only wait for the apocalypse to come? Can we do nothing at all?"
Ye Qiyan put down his wine glass—he didn't particularly like the taste either.
"You said I could use that train to become like you, then leave this world. If I were just slightly selfish, taking a small group of people, I could escape, right?"
Ye Qiyan still didn't answer, because Anjie hadn't actually wanted an answer from him.
"But I can't leave..."
"This is the city my father entrusted to me..."
"Let's just pretend that train doesn't exist..."
Given her own decision not to leave, this was indeed the correct choice.
If the people of White Snow City eventually learned the apocalypse was coming.
And they learned about that train's existence, what would ultimately happen went without saying.
It was like whether airplanes should have parachutes.
Without parachutes, during a crash, people could maintain their last shred of rationality to write farewell letters.
But if someone discovered a parachute, it would ultimately devolve into struggles between people fighting for survival.
"..."
Anjie slowly stood up.
The wine glass in her hand was casually tossed to the ground.
A crisp shattering sound rang out.
She seemed truly drunk, or perhaps, she drank to become drunk.
"Mr. Ye, anyway, happy festival~ If possible, I hope you'll remember White Snow City's existence in the future."
This festival continued until Ye Qiyan's ninth day in this apocalyptic world.
The Disaster-Avoiding Giant Beast Allen continued advancing.
It passed through catastrophes, passed many destroyed city ruins.
Passed traces of where humans once existed.
Everything in White Snow City remained so stable.
Seeming no different from the previous decades.
People voluntarily returned to their work positions.
Sounds of laughter and joy echoed throughout the city.
Inside the Central Research Institute.
Anjie hugged her two calves, curling up as she sat at the very front.
Her gaze fixed on the various information detected on the large screen.
"Energy values in the atmosphere are increasing!"
"It's a catastrophe! A catastrophe is coming!"
"It's fine. Allen has rested these many days—even if it's a thunder disaster, we'll definitely survive."
"Protective Barrier activated!"
"Repair teams standing by!"
"This disaster? Huh, it's different from previous ones. It's a new disaster!"
Anjie silently stood up.
A faint smile hung on her face.
Her eyes filled with determination.
No unease, no despair, no anger whatsoever.
She spoke thus.
"White Snow City has survived countless catastrophes. This time, we will survive again!"
People in the research institute shouted in response.
Only the old researcher beside her noticed something strange.
He opened his mouth, but said nothing.
"Has it begun?"
Inside the train, Ye Qiyan's palm held the Demon Card: Arrogance and Defiance overlapping.
A thread connected with him.
[Defiance: Intertwined with Demon]
A circular mark like the sun appeared on the back of Ye Qiyan's hand.
The god-like perspective opened by Arrogance's second ability, after being controlled by Ye Qiyan, increased mental consumption.
Now, its gaze reached the highest heavens, looking down upon everything on this land from above.
White Snow City was large, yet compared to this world, pitifully small.
Thump—thump—thump—
Like the sound of a heartbeat.
At this moment.
Everyone in this world called Biles heard this sound.
Thump...
The sound gradually slowed, grew fainter...
Thump......
When this final sound rang out.
As if, the heart stopped—
Boom! Boom!!!
Roaring! Collapsing!
Everything in this world began to shatter and disintegrate!
No flames, no thunder.
Only this simplest, most fundamental.
End of the world.
[Ding ding—]
[You are completing a hidden achievement]
[Witness of the End]
