Doomsday Descends: My Villainous Destiny

Chapter 15: Doomsday Arrival, Awakening of Talent!

At dawn, many people had been sleepless throughout the night.

Nearly one hundred thousand people had gathered on the Jiangbei Bridge, densely packed from end to end, all wanting to enter the safety zone.

Although the government had tried to block the news, the truth couldn't be hidden.

Videos of zombies rampaging had gone viral online, causing chaos everywhere. Even those in the safety zones were on edge, not to mention those in the quarantined areas.

In the military camp, Chen Zhong lowered his head to gaze at the time on his phone.

“5:18 AM, July 16, 2023.”

He silently counted down in his heart—

15... 14... 13... 3... 2... 1!

Suddenly, the entire sky turned blood red, a red so intense it made one's heart race, as if the sky was soaked in blood!

The sunrise, which symbolized hope, now gave off a completely different feeling. Instead of the vibrant revival of all things, it was blood red and eerie, an unsettling sight!

Then, the earth began to tremble, rumbling loudly!!!

A colossal black obelisk suddenly emerged from the ground, soaring into the sky, appearing abruptly before the world.

This black obelisk was located in the outskirts of Jiangjing City. Although it was far from the city center, it was so massive and spectacular that its mysterious patterns could be clearly seen from within the city.

“What is that!?”

“A pyramid? How could there be a pyramid underground in Jiangjing City?”

Even the military began to stir, their faces filled with shock.

After all, while the zombie virus could still be explained by biological viruses and science, the appearance of this black obelisk was undeniably supernatural!

Everyone stepped out of their rooms, stunned by the sight. Chen Zhong stood beside An Mian, and in the distance, Qin Jun, surrounded by people, also gazed at the black obelisk, lost in thought.

Amid the clamor of the people, Chen Zhong’s eyes darkened, and he became extremely calm… even cold!

Because he knew, the doomsday had officially begun. There were a total of twenty-four black obelisks worldwide, and even in the last days, no one knew their secrets.

But with the appearance of these black obelisks, the last hope bestowed by the gods upon humanity also emerged—talent evolution!

In the next moment, Chen Zhong suddenly felt his body heat up intensely.

The muscles on his body started to become defined, gradually filled with explosive strength. A few minutes later, Chen Zhong finally calmed down.

He had transformed completely!

The previous Chen Zhong looked weak and scholarly, like a bookworm, but now, Chen Zhong was muscular and strong, turning into an athletic man!

His body was filled with immense power. Even those so-called military kings in the army would have their throats crushed easily by him now.

Chen Zhong’s eyesight was also enhanced, allowing him to see small objects hundreds of meters away with ease.

In the face of an evolver, ordinary people seemed so weak and helpless…

F-grade talent—Strength Enhancement!

Chen Zhong exhaled slowly, feeling a bit regretful. After all, F-grade talent was the lowest level of talent. He had hoped to awaken a stronger talent after his rebirth, but now, it seemed the world’s trajectory remained the same as in his previous life. In the distance, Qin Jun was also undergoing a transformation. Amid the exclamations of the people, his entire body was enveloped in a dazzling golden light!

Chen Zhong glanced over, knowing that Qin Jun would also awaken his talent, but at this moment, his heart was still filled with jealousy.

Because he knew, Qin Jun’s awakened talent was an S-grade talent—Psychic Control!

This was an extremely powerful talent. When cultivated to the extreme, it could lift a skyscraper with just a finger!

Sometimes, heaven could be so unfair. It gave Qin Jun noble birth, handsome looks, and now an unbeatable start in the apocalypse—an S-grade talent!

Besides talent seeds, S-grade talents were the strongest talents humans could naturally awaken.

Even among the extremely rare SSS-grade and SS-grade talent seeds, Qin Jun’s talent ranked in the top ten in the apocalypse!

Chen Zhong also knew that the unfairness from heaven didn’t stop there…

Qin Jun’s family, the Qin family, also received the most abundant and sweet cake in this divine banquet prepared for humanity.

Almost all members of the Qin family awakened talents, which was nearly impossible given the talent awakening rate was less than one in ten thousand.

Thus, in the apocalypse, people called the Qin family the “God-chosen Family”…

A family of evolvers, combined with the power and resources the Qin family already controlled, created a terrifying chemical reaction…

…

Chen Zhong noticed that Su Ya was also emitting a faint blue light, which surprised him slightly.

Had Su Ya also awakened a talent?

Chen Zhong remained expressionless, his gaze calm. In his previous life, Su Ya soon disappeared without a trace, but that had nothing to do with him now.

He and Su Ya had long ended their relationship. Chen Zhong looked around and saw that only three people in the entire camp had awakened talents, which showed how difficult it was to awaken a talent…

Chen Zhong glanced at Qin Jun again, feeling a sudden sense of superiority.

'So what if you awakened an S-grade talent? So what if your Qin family is the God-chosen Family? I'm about to retrieve an SSS-grade talent seed. Then, I will become the king of the world!'

Chen Zhong whispered to An Mian, “An Mian, let's go now.”

Chen Zhong knew that now was the best time to leave. Qin Jun might have noticed him for some reason and might have even instructed someone to keep an eye on him.

If they had left last night, Qin Jun would have surely found out, but now was the best time because Qin Jun was still adapting to his awakened talent, the higher the talent level, the more time needed to adapt.

Moreover, after awakening his talent, Qin Jun would certainly first study his own talent. In the short term, Qin Jun wouldn't have the energy to worry about other things…
