Chapter 35 The Prophet

The Presidential Residence in Southern Luzon is also known as the Double Cross Gate. This name has no religious meaning, just because two stone crosses are erected on both sides of the road outside the gate of the official residence. However, it is a cross that is barely enough, but it only has such a contour.

In fact, this was originally a door - a tall and wide stone gate belonging to the largest church in the local area. However, after Li Zhen transformed into a meteor and suffered several waves of saturation bombings, it turned into ruins like other places in Zamboanga.

The church has long disappeared, only the two door frames and short lintels of the gate remain. As for why these two cross pillars were kept in front of the President's residence, there is a reason - it is the same as why the President's residence was built in the southernmost part of the Nandu, close to the seaside.

That year, the isolation zone arrived, and another species woke up in the Philippines. In a short period of time, a species transformed a large number of ordinary humans into alien species, driving the refugee wave toward the Imperial Team's garrison. In normal times, the imperial garrison might still have a try, but the problem is that an isolation zone was passing through the military camp, and the Imperial people were killed and injured, and they were still too busy to take care of themselves.

So after symbolic resistance, the surviving imperial people also scattered into birds and beasts. At that time, the island was in chaos, and only the area near the executive station stationed here could be considered a safe area. It was not because of how great their ability was, but because they were fortunately not on the attack route of the alien army.

Zhang Kesong was there at that time and had not had time to return to the empire. Li Zhen was sad that he would leave without saying goodbye, but she still couldn't figure out what was wrong.

But no matter how sad it was at that time, it would be brought to my heart. Because after a month they realized that these abilities were almost the last armed forces left by the Empire in the Philippines. Many refugees had gathered near their bases to seek help. Teng Anhui was not a cold-hearted person, nor was Zhang Kesong. In addition, after sweeping the northwest, the alien army turned to this side and rushed forward, so they had to take a large group of refugees to move.

The initial stage of the isolation zone was quite unstable. Sometimes it was motionless for several days, and sometimes it was like a pool of water in one day - at that time, this thing was really like a pool of water, rather than looking thin and long like a wall as it is now.

It is difficult for people to see the changes in that thing - when they really look at it, it is almost the time when the people around them accidentally break in and die. In fact, in the early stages of the great chaos, most people on this island did not die from the hands of species or alien species. Instead, they died from the volatile isolation zones that devoured human flesh and blood like devils.

At this time, Zhang Kesong ignored the words of the imperial man who had warned her. She began to use her abilities frequently, trying to find a way out under the double attack of alien species and isolation belts.

In the past, it was impossible for her to survive after using her abilities at such a high frequency. But with the arrival of the isolation zone, there was also the opportunity for "evolution". The "volatility" amplified her power, and she managed to survive.

After spending the first three toughest months, she has become the real "prophet" in her followers' hearts. She led refugees to escape the isolation belt where shapes have changed at least three times. The most thrilling time she was even swept by the thing and cut off her hair.

It is precisely because of this that her reputation has spread far and wide. Many people know that there is an imperial prophet in the south. As long as she follows her, she can save her life and no longer have to worry about alien species or invisible devils. So her team became larger and larger, and in the end it even became a scale of 100,000 people.

One hundred thousand people, one by one, one by one, and even one by one, the edges could not be seen even when they were on a helicopter and even climbed into the sky.

This means she needs to "observe" a larger range and consume more brainpower.

In fact, at the beginning, she just wanted to escape with the people near her station. She never thought that things would develop to this point - she had the idea of ​​a person sneaking away from her heart more than once. Because the burden of life for hundreds of thousands of people is too heavy and it is not something she can bear at all.

However, whenever she made up her decision and decided to really escape, she would think of the dead Li Zhen - this is the place he once defended with his life. The people who are now entrusted under her wings have been protected by him. When she thought about this, she suddenly felt that these people had become some kind of bond again - through them, she could find him.

She just held on.

Not all the refugees were civilians, and there were also the collapsed emperors. The once proud emperors did not expect that a woman would save them in the end. They had thrown away the guns in their hands, throw away the helmets on their heads, pull off their military uniforms, and sneak into the crowd to be deserters. But the woman brought herself to the forefront.

So a former major brigade commander and dozens of people under his command found Zhang Kesong and others, and expressed that he was willing to contribute some effort.

This is a timely help - because neither she nor Teng Anhui have the experience of managing 100,000 people. Although the refugees only want to die and find ways to eat, the 100,000 undisciplined and messy frightened birds always have ways to force people to the brink of collapse.

So more former deserters were summoned to militarize the 100,000 people, and even selected some young and strong young people to join the army.

Such a group barely lasted for half a year, and during which the same and different races fought several times. However, without logistics supplies, they were not opponents of the alien army, and all they could do was escape.

Finally, three months later, they seemed to be on the dead end - they were forced to approach the former ruins of Zamboanga. There were alien species on all sides, and behind them was the vast Pacific Ocean.

The desperate local residents had already worshipped Zhang Kesong as a god. For four nights, thousands of people knelt in front of her temporary residence and asked her to save them.

This is a kind of desperate trust. Both Zhang Kesong and Teng Anhui know that if she told those people this time that she was powerless, then those people would do something terrible under the drive of despair - because if they all die in the end, why did they want us to die after giving us so much hope?

So, Zhang Kesong did one thing in the end.

She made a "strong observation".

There are only three prophets known in this world, and the number is pitifully small. One of them never shows up, and the other is a part of the enemy. Therefore, Zhang Kesong is not sure whether the other two have this ability.

She used to be "observing" - according to her own understanding, she was to see what would happen in the future, and then choose the one with the greatest possibility, seeking good and avoiding bad luck - this was a passive choice.

However, this time she made an active choice. She jumped out to "look" and saw several possibilities. However, this was not enough, so she jumped further and continued to "look". She saw more possibilities among those possibilities.

The "possibility" has increased geometrically. After only four consecutive "jumps", she realized that those possibilities have reached the limit that she can control.

So she stopped and looked at the "futures" with God. She only chose the kind of future she wanted. Then she picked them out and fixed them - she didn't know how she did it. However, she could do it - these details that "may" would happen gradually weaved a reality that "must" happen.

After all this, she was in a coma for three days. People waited anxiously and desperately outside her residence, so Teng Anhui had to announce like a charlatan that the prophet was trying to save them with all his spiritual power.

After the third day, Zhang Kesong woke up. Teng Anhui told her that alien species and species had arrived at the ruins of Zamboanga and would fly over for at most half a day. He wanted her to cross the sea and leave him to bear the anger of people and die with them.

But Zhang Kesong looked at the desperate Teng Anhui and smiled as he heard the shouts coming from outside.

"I'm ready for everything. I'll beat them," she said.

Teng Anhui looked at the haggard but refreshed girl in surprise, not sure if she was confused and talking nonsense.

However, Zhang Kesong had already used a long sniper rifle beside him as a crutch, supporting himself to stand up and walk outside the house.

People saw her in the morning light and calmed down at the same time. Zhang Kesong turned his back to the sun, raised his rifle in his hand like a scepter, and shouted: "I am going to destroy them - who will follow me?"

In fact, she didn't wait for anyone to reply, but walked straight forward. She was bathed in the morning light, and the shawl on her body danced in the breeze, like silk on the flying sky. People saw unprecedented calmness and confidence on her face, so they were separated by her like sea water, and followed her silently.

When they walked outside the settlement, the aliens had already raised the smoke and dust from the distant horizon and rushed over.

People still couldn't help but retreated in fear, leaving only Zhang Kesong standing in front.

The aliens finally approached - people with better eyesight could see the meat residue left in the mouths of the monsters in front and the saliva that was drawn into silk in the wind. There was another type of them - it was wrapped in the aliens and rushed towards them hideously.

However, the moment he saw Zhang Kesong, a little human, it suddenly stopped and paused for a moment.

Because it felt the crazy psionic fluctuations in the human body - the fluctuations were almost tearing apart the world and time and space, and almost tearing apart its soul!

It was feared for the first time since its recovery.

But the aliens were ignorant and were not afraid. They jumped high and rushed down towards Zhang Kesong.

At this moment, just as the people behind her covered their eyes because they could not bear it, began to cry because of fear, and collapsed to the ground because of despair, Zhang Kesong raised the "scepter" in his hand and said, "There must be light."

So there is light.

In front of her, a bright white light spread across the earth and spread out.

Everyone is familiar with this light - not the light when the world is created, but the light when the isolation belt appears.

The aliens had no suspense and ran into a layer of isolation belt that was blocking the female prophet, and they were instantly destroyed, and even a howl could not be heard.

After losing at least hundreds of alien species, the originally stunned species finally stopped their progress. It was separated from the crowd with a layer of isolation belt. It could not pollute the human behind it into alien species. The isolation belt in front of Zhang Kesong was extremely wide and tall, and it could not think of any way to get around.

What's more... the other party's power shocked it - it didn't even know whether the isolation belt was generated by accident or was created by the crazy fluctuating spiritual energy on the other party's body!

The species walked to the isolation belt and looked at Zhang Kesong. It had long limbs, black hair floating in the air like smoke and clouds, ferocious bone spurs and blood red, and thin eyes. But the prophet also looked at the monster without fear. Because the person she loved had killed an existence a hundred times stronger than it, she was not afraid of it at all.

The species had to turn around and leave.

The people behind Zhang Kesong went from despair to shock, and then from shock to ecstasy, and couldn't help laughing loudly or howl loudly.

However, at this time they saw the prophet raise the "scepter" in his hand again, and therefore they all closed their mouths tightly.

They heard Zhang Kesong say again: "You must atone for your sins."

The species who had already walked away turned around in surprise and looked at her. So this glance became the last one.

A sword-like white light fell from the sky and was falling on the body of that kind. Its tall body turned into nothing in an instant, and the hundreds of alien species around it spread out quickly like a bomb. With just one breath, there was no sign of alien species in front of me again.

This is simply a miracle. It must be a miracle-everyone thinks so.

Because they don't know what kind of power can cleanse the plain that cannot be seen at first sight. Human beings cannot do such things. Only gods can do it.

The prophet fainted in the cheers of landslides and cracks. Teng Anhui caught her before she landed. People cheered and made way for her, just as Moses had once separated the Red Sea. People in ecstasy looked at her with concern and awe. Countless people began to pray for the miracle to appear again to restore her health.

However, Teng Anhui was not worried - because the moment he caught her, he saw Zhang Kesong open his eyes slightly and said in a clear voice: "Tell them that I have overdrawn myself."

In fact, in the past few days, when she saw the expressions on the faces of the people outside the door and heard their whispers, she realized the mistakes she had made in the past - she was too kind to them. Just giving alone would not always get good results, especially when facing a group of extremely desperate people. Once they got used to relying on her, they would take that habit for granted.

If she disappoints them one day, they may turn into giant monsters and turn their heads to swallow her. After all, she cannot do everything for them, she must make them afraid of her. In this kind of apocalypse, religious words and deeds will send themselves to the altar - she can rest there.

She knew maybe it was time - to "ban" these people through a more mature and standardized model. Only in this way can they feel at ease.

It is from this day that the isolation zones gradually become stable within the entire world. They shrink and grow toward high places, and eventually divide natural areas of large and small on the earth.

Zhang Kesong was not sure if she used "strong observation" because she was using "strong observation" - she spent a lot of effort to make two isolation belts appear in the area she wanted, ending the crisis outside the ruins of Zamboanga. She was not sure what kind of power could enable her to manipulate the terrible thing in the isolation belt, but she knew that it was her first and last time using the terrible power of the isolation belt. Because after that, their vitality seemed to be completely absorbed by her "strong observation".

They are as if they are dead.

In fact, she also had a strong premonition. Almost everyone had such a premonition. However, the prophet's premonition was different from that of ordinary people - Zhang Kesong felt that the premonition was as solid as the essence, visible and touchable. Unfortunately, she could "see" but couldn't see clearly; she could "touch" but couldn't figure it out. She only vaguely realized that the price paid by using the power of that "strong observation" seemed not just her spirit, nor just the "energy" of the isolation belt. There must be something even greater, and the macroscopic influence was produced, but it was beyond her understanding.

This feeling made her frightened, as if a child accidentally threw a burning match into the warehouse where fireworks were stored. Then a loud bang came from the warehouse, but the child was not sure what terrible thing he had done.

She finally understood why the mysterious prophet of the Empire had once warned herself to use the power of "observation" carefully...

That seems to be something that should be mastered by humans.

The prototype of the Southern Luzon Republic appeared on the ruins of Zamboanga. At that time, Zhang Kesong lived on the ruins of the former church and built a simple shed there. Many people gathered from all directions with awe, just to look at her. Later, even the ruins were given a sacred meaning by those who became superstitious because of fear.

Finally, the Presidential Residence was also built here, because people believed that if there was another day of desperateness, miracles might still appear here. (To be continued...)
