I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

Chapter 1022: The Literal Meaning

"What? Don't you recognize me?"

Grinning at Ding Kai, Qin Zhong strode past Ding Kai and entered, followed by Sun Xiaoyan.

Ding Kai glanced down the corridor and his eyes widened slightly. He saw a dozen or so security personnel from the National Security Bureau on both sides of the corridor, bound tightly together by a black rope from bottom to top.

Even their mouths were bound with rope, preventing them from making a sound. But when Ding Kai looked closer, he was horrified to discover that these black ropes weren't ropes at all...

These black ropes, which were clearly the shadows cast by the security guards' feet, and were clearly their own shadows, now seemed to have turned into long black snakes, binding the shadows' owners tightly.

"This...this..." Seeing this horrifying scene, even as Qin Chong squeezed past him into the room, Ding Kai didn't react for a moment.

"Do not move!"

The two security guards standing not far behind Ding Kai could not see the outside scene because Ding Kai blocked their view.

At that moment, a tall, upright young man in camouflage suddenly squeezed past Ding Kai into the room. They shouted in unison, and at the same time, the muzzles of their guns were instantly pointed at the young man.

"Hmm?" Qin Zhong frowned slightly upon seeing this scene, but did not stop. He strode in and looked at everyone present. Finally, his gaze stopped on the three people at the head of the group.

"Boom!"

"do not want!"

Seeing that Qin Chong still walked in despite their warnings, the two specially trained security guards, though they didn't know why Ding Kai was in a daze, still instinctively fired their guns.

The moment the two fired, Ding Kai, who had been stunned, suddenly reacted and instinctively shouted, but it was too late. The bullet, sparking, had already left the barrel and was heading towards Qin Zhong.

"Hmm?" Qin Zhong looked at the three people above him without moving his gaze. Facing the two bullets that were fired at him, he simply raised his hand slightly and flicked his fingers as if he were doing it casually.

Then, with two "whoosh" sounds, Qin Chong flicked the two bullets away with his fingers, and they hit the wall to the side.

"Uh."

Upon seeing this, the two security guards were stunned, unable to believe their eyes, as were everyone else who witnessed it.

But those who could stand here as security guards were the elite of the elite. Soon, the two men calmed down and were about to continue firing.

"Stop! He's not the enemy!"

Just then, Ding Kai quickly stepped in front of the two men, blocking their firing path.

"This..." The two security guards hesitated for a moment. Although Ding Kai was their superior, in such a situation, the sudden entry of a mysterious person with extraordinary skills made them cautious for the sake of their leader's safety.

"Stop!" Just then, Shen Haoyan, who was sitting on the upper seat, also spoke up.

"Yes!" Upon hearing Shen Haoyan speak, the two security guards immediately put away their guns and stood aside, but their eyes remained fixed on Qin Zhong.

"Elder Shen, Elder Qing, Elder Zhang, this is Qin Zhong!"

Ding Kai gave a wry smile, looked at the three elders above him, and respectfully introduced them. His introduction caused everyone present to pause for a moment, and then they all looked at Qin Zhong with meaningful gazes.

Qin Zhong shrugged, glanced at the three people at the head of the table, his eyes gleaming, and greeted them with a smile: "Hello, Elder Shen, it's been a long time!"

……

"haven't seen you for a long time?"

Shen Haoyan was taken aback, hesitated for a moment, and frowned before asking, "You know me?"

Qin Zhong laughed heartily, ignoring the stares of others, and pulled Sun Xiaoyan to sit down opposite the three people above him. He then looked at the two people next to Elder Shen and teased, "These two, I haven't seen them since the apocalypse!"

"Ok?"

Seeing Qin Chong's nonchalant demeanor and hearing his teasing, everyone present frowned, even though they didn't understand what he meant.

Old Zhang, who was handling the situation, frowned slightly and asked, "Young man, what do you mean by that?"

"It doesn't mean anything, it's just the literal meaning. Isn't that clear enough?" Qin Chong replied casually.

"literal meaning?"

Old Zhang pondered the meaning of those words for a moment, then seemed to realize something. His eyes narrowed sharply, and he raised his voice slightly, saying, "You mean to say that after the apocalypse, both Old Qing and I will die?"

"hold head high!"

Qin Zhong casually said, "I don't know either. Anyway, I went to the Kyoto government's post-apocalyptic base and only saw Elder Shen, Xiao Yibai, the Xiao family, and some other people, but I didn't see either of you!"

"Hmph! That's alarmist! You're Qin Chong, the one who returned from 2036?"

At this moment, Elder Qing also spoke up with a serious expression: "In my opinion, you are a fraud, aren't you?"

"you are right!"

Qin Chong laughed and said, "I really didn't come back from 2036..."

"what!"

Hearing Qin Zhong say this, Elder Qing's eyes were full of sarcasm. He glanced at the puzzled Shen Haoyan and said with a smile, "Young man, it is a great virtue to admit your mistakes and correct them. Tell me, was it someone who specifically told you to say this?"

"Wait, don't misunderstand, I haven't finished yet. I didn't come back from 2036, because it's already 2037 where I am. I came back from 2037, understand?"

"You!" Upon hearing Qin Chong's teasing words, Old Master Qing slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "You junior, who gave you the audacity to be so insolent in front of me!"

"presumptuous!"

Qin Zhong's relaxed expression instantly turned serious. He slammed his hand on the table, stood up, glared at Elder Qing, and roared, "Old man, I've already told you properly. If I hadn't, you would be dead by now..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Zhong's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he turned to look at one of the generals present. It turned out that, without anyone noticing, this general had pulled a pistol out of his pocket and was pointing it at Qin Zhong.

"Looks like you're treating me like Hello Kitty just because I'm not showing my teeth."

"boom!"

"Have mercy..."

"don't want……"

Just as Qin Chong roared angrily, the general's pistol fired, and the bullet suddenly shot towards Qin Chong. At the same time, Elder Shen and Ding Kai, who had taken action, also shouted out.

However, the two shouted different things. Old Shen shouted "No!" while Ding Kai shouted "Have mercy!"

Just as the bullet was fired, Qin Chong waved his hand as if swatting a fly with a fly swatter. The next moment, a "poof" sound was heard, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound, their eyes instantly blank.

A bloody hole appeared in the center of the general's forehead. His gaze, which had been fierce at first, instantly became dull. The next moment, his raised right hand went limp, and he died quickly.
