This sentence was written on the wall inside the security room next to the school gate.
With just a slight adjustment of angle, the sentence became clearly visible.
But the people around couldn't see this sentence at all.
Chu Che lowered his head and stopped looking around, his eyes flickering incessantly.
If possible, he wanted to leave right now.
But Wu Jianshan was right - in his perception, Rong City was filled with many anomalies. Except for Changwang District, other areas were practically swarming with them.
And because of their arrival, these anomalies seemed somewhat restless.
They were approaching the edge of Changwang District, wanting to rush in and devour these people piece by piece.
But they seemed hesitant, lingering at the edge, not daring to take that final step.
Some auras were so terrifying they made one's courage fail, extinguishing any thought of resistance.
Some auras were so mysterious that even he couldn't fathom their true nature.
And the most powerful aura was right here in this school.
In the classroom at the far left on the fifth floor.
"Everyone, without the Death God, we couldn't possibly have the life we have now."
"It's also because of the Death God's protection that our Death God Church has become a pure land in this human world."
"If any of you wish to join the Death God Church, I, Wu, welcome you with open arms."
Wu Jianshan once again extended the invitation to join the church to everyone.
Some survivors were already feeling tempted.
Xue Nan hid himself among the crowd, his eyes darting around as he observed everything.
For some reason, he felt this place was problematic.
But he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
When he saw the expression on Chen Ye's face, Xue Nan quickly lowered his head.
Because he saw ill intentions and greed on Chen Ye's face.
This feeling was familiar, just like when he first saw Chen Ye back in the Camel Train.
Back then, Chen Ye had the same look in his eyes, that greed that seemed never to have changed.
Zhou Xiaoxiao also hid herself at the back of the crowd.
After experiencing so many storms, this once-proud girl had learned to conceal her thoughts.
After her sister disappeared, Zhou Xiaoxiao learned to live on her own.
Only then did she realize how many storms her sister had shielded her from.
Suddenly, Zhou Xiaoxiao spotted a very familiar figure in the crowd.
Although this figure hid herself under a black robe, her graceful curves were still very familiar.
Zhou Xiaoxiao stared intently at those curves.
As if sensing someone watching her, the curvy figure also looked up.
Their eyes met, and both pupils suddenly dilated.
As a member of the entertainment industry, Zhou Xiaoxiao recognized this person.
Before the apocalypse, this woman was known as the Nation's Songstress in her own country.
She attracted attention in her country's entertainment industry right from her debut, with her first album achieving platinum status.
Later, she became almost a legendary figure.
This woman was also very famous in Daxia. Many Xia Country people might not have heard her songs, but because of social media, they could still name her.
Choi Soo-eun - that was this woman's name.
Who would have thought she was here too?
Last year, she had attended this woman's concert, and because of her sister, Zhou Xiaoxiao had even taken a photo with this woman.
So her impression was quite deep.
Choi Soo-eun also didn't expect to see Zhou Xiaoxiao, but she quickly lowered her gaze, her lips still moving as if chanting something.
Zhou Xiaoxiao also pretended not to see her and turned to look elsewhere.
The simple welcome ceremony ended.
Chen Ye, Chu Che, and the convoy members were all brought into the school.
There were many classrooms in the school.
Beds had already been prepared in the classrooms.
When they saw these things, some survivors even shed tears of emotion.
After all, during this long migration, many survivors hadn't slept in a bed for a long time.
Some even decided in their hearts that as long as the Death God Church didn't drive them away, they would live here until they died.
Chu Che, Iron Lion, and Chen Ye were assigned to a classroom on the fourth floor.
Ding Dong and the Pink-haired Girl were housed in another classroom.
When Chu Che entered the classroom assigned to the three of them, the moment he stepped inside, his pupils contracted to pinpricks and all his muscles tensed up.
But then he instantly relaxed.
"Chu Che, are you... okay?"
Wu Jianshan's voice sounded behind them, his eyes scanning Chu Che like knives.
The muscles on Chu Che's face twitched slightly as he turned to look at Wu Jianshan.
The tall, thin man stood silently behind them, his entire body hidden in a black robe so soft it even revealed the outline of Wu Jianshan's bones.
If not for being able to see his face, one might think there was just a skeleton under that black robe.
In that moment, Chu Che even felt that Wu Jianshan himself was the Death God.
He fit those two words better than the beautiful woman Chen Ye and the others had described.
"Nothing, I just haven't seen a bed in so long, I'm a bit excited!"
"Second Uncle, you... you're really too good to me. I haven't slept in a bed for almost half a year, though this bed is a bit small."
Chu Che was pretending to be moved.
But Iron Lion here was genuinely moved.
Although the bed was somewhat small, he was still touched.
Wu Jianshan sized up Iron Lion, his mouth twitching slightly: "The bed is a bit small. I'll have them find you a bigger bed and bring it over when they find one."
"Good brother, what's the plan for tonight? I've come to your territory, you're not going to have nothing arranged, are you?"
Chen Ye threw an arm around Wu Jianshan's neck and asked with a grin.
Wu Jianshan's expression grew even more unnatural. He wanted to knock Chen Ye's arm away but restrained himself.
"What else could there be? It's the apocalypse now. There's a ceremony later, you come with me!"
"Let the Death God remember your auras and protect you from anomaly invasions."
"Chen Ye, you better be careful. When you see the Death God later, remember to be respectful, or we won't even be brothers anymore!"
After speaking, Wu Jianshan turned and left!
Just as he was about to leave, Wu Jianshan seemed to remember something.
He turned back to look at the three of them and said in an extremely serious tone: "You can do whatever you want, but don't go to the fifth floor. Remember!!!"
Then he turned and left.
Chen Ye rubbed his chin, his eyes showing faint disappointment along with some relief.
From Chen Ye's perspective, the Wu Jianshan before him was his good brother.
But now...
His good brother had changed, was no longer the person he used to be.
So unfamiliar it was like he was a completely different person.
Some say people always grow up and can't possibly remain the same person they were years ago. Perhaps his good brother had just grown up.
The only one who couldn't let go was himself.
And the relief felt like releasing the last bit of restraint in his heart.
Though he still didn't know why!
As for Chu Che, his eyes were also profoundly deep at this moment.
Chu Che sighed silently in his heart: The squad leader back then was kind, upright, and full of justice.
If not for the squad leader, he might have died long ago during a mission.
But now...
Perhaps because of what happened back then, the former squad leader had long died.
And the current squad leader was already a completely different, unfamiliar person.
Remembering the three markings he had seen earlier made Chu Che restless.
The first was the marking at the school gate, two huge words: "Run away!"
The second marking was a sentence on the wall in the security room by the school gate: "Don't believe a single word he says!"
And the third was right in this classroom - the huge glowing words written on the classroom blackboard.
No one else could see them, only Chu Che could see them.
These words shone brightly behind the three of them.
"They eat people!!!"
