Ten minutes later, Mo Ran arrived, asking with a grin, "Dad, you were looking for me?!"
Zhang Chen nodded and said, "I need you to come with me to a parallel world. I need your help!"
"Okay!" Hearing that Zhang Chen needed his help and feeling needed, Mo Ran's spirits instantly lifted.
"Xiao Ruan!"
Zhang Chen reached into his pocket and squeezed.
"Guji!"
Xiao Ruan slowly floated out.
Then, to the surprised gazes of Zhang Wenwen and the others, a portal slowly opened.
Zhang Chen pulled Mo Ran and walked straight in.
The light twisted, and the surrounding scenery reappeared before Zhang Chen and Mo Ran, still in the VIP spectator area.
Xiao Ruan's spatial teleportation was much more stable than the teleportation beacon.
Although Teleportation Beacon 2.0 could guarantee the opening of cross-parallel world portals, it could not guarantee appearing in a stable position. Every time it opened, there would be a certain degree of deviation.
Zou Keke falling into the sea was the most direct proof.
In fact, before Xiao Ruan was tamed by Zhang Chen and before it absorbed meteorite energy to become a demigod, it did not fully understand the meaning of parallel spaces.
Jumping was done at will, and it had no intention of intersecting with any world, so its teleports were random.
Perhaps this attribute also misled the scientific research of the progressive faction, resulting in such unstable products.
In reality, Xiao Ruan was born with strong sensitivity to spatial attributes.
Therefore, as long as it remembered the location of space, it could achieve repeated jumps.
In this regard, Zhang Chen's spatial jump level was far superior to that of the progressive faction.
"Hmm, where is Zou Keke?"
Zhang Chen steadied himself and looked around.
Only then did he realize that Zou Keke was holding a fruit knife, curled up in a corner, and looking at Zhang Chen with terror in her eyes.
Suddenly, she screamed, "Be careful!"
"Roar!"
A zombie suddenly bit Mo Ran's neck.
Due to the time difference between the two worlds.
Zhang Chen had only spent a little over ten minutes in the main world, but more than two hours had passed in this world.
The man, who was already at the end of his rope, finally succumbed to the virus and turned into an undead creature.
And when Zhang Chen and Mo Ran teleported back, they had just appeared in front of the zombie.
This unforeseen change happened too quickly to react.
"Ah!"
Zou Keke screamed in fright.
Seeing Mo Ran, a child barely in his teens, about to turn into a zombie, she felt both grief and self-blame.
"Hmm? It's a bit itchy!"
Mo Ran reached up and scratched his neck.
The moment his small hand touched the zombie's head.
Plop!
The zombie's head instantly shattered and exploded.
And on Mo Ran's neck, not even a mark was left.
In contrast, the zombie, whose head had deformed, had several broken teeth.
"This guy is so ugly, sneaking up on me and pretending to be dead!"
Mo Ran turned his head and finally saw the appearance of the monster that had attacked him.
He was supposed to be here to help his dad, but as soon as he arrived, he was attacked and the enemy succeeded.
This made Mo Ran feel very disgraced.
He angrily raised his small foot and stomped on the zombie's head again.
"Don't... Mo Ran..."
Zhang Chen was about to stop him.
But Mo Ran's little foot had already exerted its force.
Boom!
With a loud bang, dust and smoke billowed!
The entire floor collapsed, steel bars exposed from the broken edges, and the entire room began to shake.
"Oh dear, is this room made of paper? Why is it so flimsy?"
Mo Ran said in surprise.
"The biological energy in this world is too weak. We need to be careful when we act!"
Zhang Chen said with a smile.
"Okay, Dad, I'll try to be gentler next time!"
Mo Ran replied obediently.
Zou Keke, watching the scene before her, was so scared she couldn't speak for a long time.
Her earlier grief and self-blame had now turned into shock and embarrassment.
That's right, they were gods, how could gods be infected so easily?!
She was still too naive.
Mo Ran's casual kick had woken up Zou Keke.
"Let's go, let's save time. Take me to that five-star hotel!"
Zhang Chen said, holding Mo Ran in one arm and Zou Keke in the other, and ascending into the air again.
With the experience of the first time, Zou Keke was clearly much calmer this time.
Under her guidance, Zhang Chen flew towards a luxuriously decorated hotel by the river.
In the presidential suite of the hotel, all the windows were curtained, and the lights were on.
A man sat comfortably on the sofa, with a girl expressionlessly pouring him wine and feeding it to his mouth.
A leather suitcase was placed to the man's right, and his left fist was clenched, hiding a device in his hand.
His name was Maglan, a researcher from the progressive faction.
On the coffee table was a laboratory record notebook.
He had a habit of recording all his experimental records in a notebook before entering them into the equipment.
This was a habit developed from surviving in the long-term apocalypse.
When encountering Soul Devouring Beasts, their berserk energy interference would affect most equipment and energy devices, even causing them to fail permanently.
However, paper records, though primitive, would not be destroyed by this interference.
In front of Maglan stood a couple.
The woman had her neck hooked by the claws of a Wailer, and with the slightest force, her head would be separated from her body.
In front of the man were a large bag of food and water, and a fully loaded handgun.
"Please, Lord God, spare us..."
The man said with a look of pleading.
Maglan smiled, shook his head, and slowly said,
"You now have three choices. The first is for you to take these supplies and leave, and I will absolutely not stop you!"
"These supplies are enough for you to find a safe haven, and there's a car key inside. The car is parked downstairs, and the handgun can be used for self-defense."
"And if you can utilize these supplies well... in the apocalypse, you can easily find any partner you desire."
"But the price for choosing this is that you will have to watch your girlfriend be slowly torn to shreds by the Wailer."
"The second choice is for you to shoot yourself in the head with the handgun, and then your girlfriend will survive and inherit these supplies."
"Friendly reminder, don't try to attack me, or you will know what cruelty is!"
"Third, if you really cannot make a decision, you can choose to swap places with your girlfriend and let her make the choice."
The man looked at the supplies and swallowed his saliva.
These were delicacies he hadn't eaten in a long time.
Indeed, as Maglan said, in the scarce apocalyptic world, any item in the bag was priceless.
But he glanced at his girlfriend, and thinking of her being cruelly torn apart by the monster, he felt waves of pain.
After a long period of struggle, the man picked up the handgun and aimed it at his own head.
Feeling the icy coldness on his temple, the man trembled all over, and his right hand refused to touch the trigger.
After a long time, he collapsed to the ground, exhausted, and threw the handgun aside, saying,
"I choose three..."
