Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 391

Chapter 391: Did any phenomenon occur today
However, at this moment, a massive dark cloud suddenly appeared in the sky outside. Within the dark cloud, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled!

At that instant, they felt the aura of the heavens and earth becoming chaotic. The atmosphere around them turned violent, with a sense of agitation in the air.

“What the heck is going on? What just happened?”

“It was snowing, right? So why is there this dark cloud, as black as ink, with lightning?”

“Is this a celestial phenomenon? For some reason, I feel really uneasy, like the air is filled with some violent forces, making me anxious.”

Everyone was stunned, their faces slightly changing.

They didn’t even have time to eat before they hurried outside to observe the situation.

They found that the massive dark cloud was to the east of the Dawn ship. That direction was actually the ocean, but it was now frozen.

Although the sea level had significantly dropped when the ice age arrived, it was still much higher than it was initially.

Rumbling sounds echoed from the dark cloud, and though the distance was far, the twelve survivors present all had their expressions change slightly.

They could all hear the immense noise. Moreover, the lightning flashing within the cloud was incredibly terrifying.

The bolts of lightning were extremely thick. Compared to them, the lightning controlled by Eugene was like a mere toothpick.

The lightning here resembled a pillar, giving the impression that it could split the Dawn ship, the Noah’s Ark, into two.

It was terrifying and frightening.

“Such thick lightning?”

“My goodness, what’s happening over there? This must be a celestial phenomenon, right? It’s very unusual.”

“It should be. The air around us has been affected, becoming chaotic.”

Everyone spoke with excitement but also some anxiety, discussing the situation.

Then, to their surprise, it wasn’t long before the dark cloud in the sky began to dissipate.

Soon, it completely vanished. There was no more lightning or thunder, the dark cloud was gone, and the sky returned to its original state, as if everything before had never existed.

This celestial phenomenon came quickly and disappeared just as fast.

The group was stunned.

“It disappeared so quickly? Why is that? The dark cloud vanished in an instant, with no rain or snow—it just appeared and disappeared out of thin air. It’s definitely a celestial phenomenon!”

“I’m at a loss. I was planning to take a closer look, but who knew it would be gone so fast.”

“Let’s go back. It’s better that it disappeared. Otherwise, staying near such a phenomenon would keep us on edge.”

Everyone sighed and returned to the Dawn ship.

At that moment, someone hesitated and asked, “Should we report this phenomenon to the higher-ups?”

The squad leader shook his head. “No need. After all, this phenomenon only appeared once and was so brief. It has no value. If the bigwigs come here and find nothing, it’ll be us who get into trouble.”

“Let’s wait and see. We’ll talk about it later.”

Hearing this, everyone nodded. They weren’t sure if this phenomenon would reappear.

If it was just a coincidence that it appeared once, there was no need to report it. They might even get scolded for it later.

…

The next day arrived as expected.

There was no snow; the weather was clear and sunny. As usual, they needed to head out early in the morning.

However, today their patrol duties were much more extensive than the day before, requiring everyone to participate.

As a result, they likely wouldn’t be able to return by noon.

Remembering the celestial phenomenon that occurred yesterday, the squad leader hesitated for a moment.

Then, he pointed to a younger team member and said, “You stay behind and keep an eye on the surroundings. If yesterday’s celestial phenomenon occurs again, make sure to record the time, location, and the time it ends. Understood?”

The team member nodded. After reminding him once more, the squad leader finally led the team out on patrol.

…

It was almost noon by the time he finally returned to the Dawn, the Noah’s Ark. By then, he was starving.

But before he could eat, he rushed to question the team member who had stayed behind on the Ark.

“How was it? Did any phenomenon occur today?”

The team member shook his head and said, “I didn’t see anything. I was afraid of missing it, so I stayed by the door the entire time, not even daring to doze off. But there was no sign of the scene we saw yesterday.”

Hearing this, the squad leader frowned.

“Nothing happened? Could it be that yesterday’s phenomenon was really just a coincidence?”

The squad leader sighed in frustration. However, he couldn’t shake the feeling that this matter might not be over yet…

After the team members finished their meal, they finally felt warmth returning to their bodies.

They had been on duty all day, exhausted and enduring the relentless cold.

So, after returning, except for those assigned to the watch, the others quickly fell into a deep sleep.

The third day finally arrived. It was another clear day.

For some reason, recently, there had been more sunny days and fewer snowy ones.

However, despite this, the temperature had not risen at all; it remained as cold as ever.

Just like on the first day, after completing their tasks, the team members returned by noon and sat down for a regular meal.

Since there had been no phenomenon the previous day, they generally believed that the occurrence was a mere coincidence and wouldn’t happen again.

“That phenomenon last time, I don’t know why it happened—it came and went so quickly. Really strange.”

“As I said, it was just a fluke, probably nothing serious, so there’s no need to worry about it.”

They ate and chatted, discussing the event. However, just then—

CRACK!

A thunderous roar echoed through the air! Simultaneously, a blinding white lightning bolt tore across the sky.

The already bright world seemed to be engulfed in a landscape of harsh, pale light, as if the heavens and earth had lost their color.

Clatter!

Chopsticks and cans fell to the ground. At that moment, nearly every team member was startled by the sudden thunderous noise and the terrifyingly bright lightning, almost jumping out of their seats.

“What the… What’s happening? How could such massive lightning suddenly appear? It scared me to death!”

“Could it be… that the phenomenon from the day before yesterday has returned? But it shouldn’t be—it was supposed to be a one-time occurrence, and it didn’t happen yesterday!”

“My God, that lightning just now—it felt like it almost struck me. I was so terrified, I nearly lost my soul. My limbs are shaking uncontrollably right now—I’m really scared.”

The group was stunned for a moment, then they began to speak up. It was easy to see from their faces that the fear had not yet faded away.
