Rewriting My Fate in the Apocalypse

He then took out the stone given by the man earlier and began to operate his spiritual energy as if absorbing a crystal core.

Soon, he felt movement in his spiritual energy and felt as if something else was taking root in his body.

He soon entered a state of weightlessness as he absorbed the stone. He woke up two hours later feeling lighter and stronger than before.

When he examined himself, he realized that an extra space had appeared in his mind.

Without much thought, he stood up and gave a thought towards the sofa to enter the space.

As expected, the sofa disappeared.

He had indeed gained a new space. However, unlike what the man said, this space was at least the size of a basketball court and a half.

It was larger than expected, but this was good.

Even though now supplies were scarce, he could carry the more sensitive and most used supplies on him.

This way, suspicion on having a space ability would fall on him instead of his wife.

Also, unless they wanted to enter the space bangle to cultivate with the special meteorite, it would stay with him.

He intended to let his family know as well. This way, they wouldn’t accidentally let others know that Leng Pan had a space.

With this thought, Lu Zhen looked at his watch and realized that it was already three in the morning.

He decided to go back to sleep and since there was still water in their apartment, he took a shower and changed into clean clothes left behind earlier before heading back to the underground city.

He walked into the courtyard and was surprised to find his second brother sitting at the door of their house with his head lowered.

He knew that his brother’s constitution was different and while normal human bodies required hours of sleep to recover, his brother could recover to his peak with only two hours of sleep daily.

He only slept longer because their mother forced him.

"You are back." Lu Hao raised his head to look at Lu Zhen as soon as he came close.

"Mhmm...why are you outside?" Lu Zhen asked with genuine concern.

Lu Hao smiled shallowly and replied, "Waiting for you. Lu Tao said you went out and I was worried." Lu Hao replied.

Lu Zhen had forgotten that he had a brother with the hearing of a bat.

Even though no one saw him leave, Lu Tao must have heard him.

"I just went out for something. You don’t need to worry. Go back and sleep. Mom will worry if she finds out you skipped sleep." Lu Zhen urged.

He also wanted to go back and hold his soft wife to sleep.

"Oh...okay." Lu Hao seemed to want to say something but decided against it and agreed to go back to bed.

Lu Zhen said goodnight and walked on the opposite direction to go to his own house.

Lu Hao watched him walk briskly to the other house and enter before he also turned around and went back to bed.

He had smelled a strange smell on his brother. It was very light, but it was there. Almost similar to himself, as if he was also a half-breed. But that was impossible. Maybe it had something to do with what his brother went to do tonight.

So, he chose not to ask.

If Lu Zhen knew about this, he would realize that what he gained wasn’t just a space, but something that changed his DNA to make his body more adaptable to the apocalyptic world.

What was even more astonishing was that this property could be passed through his intimacy with his wife to her.

Moreover, it was the safest evolution without any risks and would be passed down to their children if they had them in the future.

This was the real protection that man had given them.

However, for now, Lu Zhen was blissfully ignorant and taking off his clothes to get into bed with his beloved wife.

He seemed to have become a beast after finding out that the house they were in was completely soundproof.

Leng Pan was woken again by someone pounding into her from behind and repeatedly calling her name seductively.

She had no choice but to join the dance that went on and they had to leave the bed at noon.

She wondered how her body could respond so actively to Lu Zhen even when she was asleep.

Was this something really normal?

However, she had no time to ponder because right as they were having lunch, an urgent knock came from the door.

Lu Zhen went to open it and found Lu Tao standing there looking anxious.

"What happened?" Lu Zhen asked with a frown.

How could his brother still behave like this after so much training?

"It has happened. The locusts are coming. They are about five kilometers out and will be here soon." Lu Tao explained hurriedly.

Lu Zhen turned to his wife and said, "Baby, go on and finish eating, I’ll be back soon."

After that, he closed the door behind him and ran towards the entrance of the underground city.

Once he was out of the city, even without Lu Tao’s hearing and sight, he could hear the flapping of wings.

There were probably millions of locusts flying in their direction.

"Anyone who is still above, leave whatever you are doing and enter the underground city now. The gate will close in three minutes." Lu Zhen used his spiritual energy to amplify his voice so that he was heard from every corner of the base.

Those who were still packing knew that it was already too late. If the commander said the gate will close in three minutes, then it will.

They all picked up whatever they deemed important, such as food and clothes and ran towards the entrance.

Luckily, most of the people had already moved some of their belongings the last two days and not many things were left above ground.
