Chapter 229: The Invincible Ones of the Apocalypse

"Village Chief, are you saying the entire village is covered in frost?"

Bai Yifan’s eyes widened in disbelief.

This must be some immensely powerful Ice Ability!

It’s almost like the immortal skills in TV series!

"Yes, the ice wall covers the village at a height of two meters from the ground, and the locusts are flying above it, densely packed."

Thinking back to yesterday’s scene, Village Chief Li’s scalp tingled.

The locusts were swarming overhead, looking up into the sky one couldn’t see the sun, only a mass of locusts.

The locusts, as large as palms, opened and closed their mouthparts, endlessly battering the ice wall, as if they could break through at any moment to devour humans.

"And then?"

Bai Yifan rubbed away the goosebumps on his arm.

Not to mention grandma, even his powerful sister couldn’t create an ice shield protecting the entire village.

Were the people from yesterday really that strong?

Bai Yifan always felt the apocalypse was too dangerous.

Even a scandalous photo leak wouldn’t make him want the apocalypse!

"Then, those two people went door to door, telling everyone to come out. Everyone who saw the solid ice wall through the windows gritted their teeth and came out, there was no choice, as the glass on the windows was starting to crack, barely holding up."

With lingering fear, Village Chief Li touched the spot over his heart, which was pounding heavily.

No one would forget yesterday’s scene.

The buzzing sound of locust wings filled the ears, and the sky was so dark with them that no sunlight could reach the ground.

"Everyone followed those two to the village entrance, then they were enveloped in a transparent ice house, and the locusts couldn’t get to any of the villagers."

"One of the men had a knife in the center of the village. I was at the back, looked back and saw him cut his hand, the smell of blood made the locusts even crazier, flocking towards the village center."

"After everyone had left the village, the man suddenly unleashed searing flames from his hand, engulfing the entire village. The crackling sound was nonstop, and about an hour later, a large amount of water suddenly surged from the village center, extinguishing the flames, leaving the village as it is now."

After speaking, Village Chief Li stared in the village’s direction and sighed softly.

The village was gone, but the people were safe, that’s what mattered.

He sighed at this terrifying apocalypse, so many people died, and he wondered if such dreadful sights would repeat.

"Village Chief, the flames enveloped the village instantly? And the water surged out instantly? And the ice wall too?" Bai Xiqin frowned deeply.

The area of a village isn’t huge, but it’s not small either.

How powerful must someone’s abilities be to cover a whole village in flames or an ice wall in an instant?

Bai Xiqin’s eyes deepened, those two people’s abilities must be at least Fifth Rank or higher.

Yet, in three years of living in the apocalypse, she hadn’t heard of anyone surpassing the Fifth Rank!

If someone now had an ability above Fifth Rank, they’d be invincible in this world.

The apocalypse had only been a few months, could anyone truly achieve such a high rank?

Moreover, from what the village chief said, the man was a Dual Ability User with both fire and water!

But looking at the village chief’s expression, and the scorched earth and water-washed traces in the village, it seemed to be true.

Perhaps there are exceptional people who become invincible at the start of the apocalypse!

From their actions in saving villagers, they seemed like good people, but if they were enemies, they’d be a calamity for humanity.

"It just suddenly appeared." Village Chief Li clicked his tongue, "Those locusts turned to ash instantly, even the ground was burning."

"They’re so powerful, why did they still burn the village? Didn’t you say one could use an ice wall?" Bai Yifan scratched his head.

An ice wall could protect people, it should also be able to encircle the locusts, right?

"The locusts stayed in the village for a long time, they laid eggs. If they didn’t burn the village, the locusts would return." Village Chief Li’s voice was heavy.

He lived in the village most of his life, watching generations of children grow up and leave, this village was their home.

Now, home is gone.

Thankfully, the people lived.

"What did those two look like? If I meet them, I must properly thank them!" Bai Zhengxuan said emotionally.

Those two saved the village, they are his benefactors, no matter what, saying thank you in person is best.

"Couldn’t see what they looked like, about a couple in their thirties, both wearing masks. After they extinguished the village fire, they left without even having a meal." Village Chief Li felt a bit regretful.

After all, the people saved the whole village, yet no one knows what they look like, it’s quite embarrassing.

"They’re truly good people!"

Bai Zhengxuan touched his nose, feeling slightly guilty.

Before the village chief came, he had cursed those who burned the village hundreds of times, even wishing curses on their ancestors.

But now, in his heart, those two are definitely good people, the life-saving benefactors of the village.

Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai glanced at each other, seeing shock in each other’s eyes.

Superpower Users above Fifth Rank, who could they be?

Besides them, are there others of such rank in this world?

"By the way, Xiao Hai, I think the powerful Fire Ability benefactor looks a bit like you, thick eyebrows and big eyes." Village Chief Li suddenly turned back, looking seriously at Bai Anhai.

Bai Anhai scratched his head, "Really? Maybe powerful people just look like me!"

"Are you powerful?" Wang Yiyun looked at Bai Anhai placidly.

"...Not powerful, I was joking." Bai Anhai instantly caved.

Compared to others, he is strong.

Compared to his own wife, he’s just scrap.

"They really do look similar, though you seem a bit younger."

The more Village Chief Li looked at Bai Anhai, the more he felt he resembled the village’s savior.

"Dad, do I have a brother?"

Bai Anhai turned to ask Bai Zhengxuan.

What if it’s a long-lost brother!

"Heh, if you had a brother, could I have tolerated you this long?" Bai Zhengxuan sneered.

Would have tossed you long ago!

Bai Anhai: ...

"Hehehe, even with masks on, you could tell those benefactors were handsome, the man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, very imposing, the woman had beautiful long black hair, appearing lovely, with gentle eyes, she seemed very gentle."

Village Chief Li always thought those benefactors were the finest looking couple in the world.

"What good is appearance!"

Bai Zhengxuan muttered lowly, sneaking a glance at Liu Jing.

Back in the day, didn’t Liu Jing also have smooth, black hair?

And her eyes were captivatingly gentle.

Can’t judge a book by its cover!

Still, wasn’t she as charming as a fairy every day!
