Chapter 742 - 742 739 Figures Before the Apocalypse

?Chapter 742: Chapter 739: Figures Before the Apocalypse Chapter 742: Chapter 739: Figures Before the Apocalypse No words could describe the shock that Zhou Ming experienced at that moment.

The knock at the door wasn’t loud—the kind of noise that under normal circumstances wouldn’t be out of place—but when it sounded in his bachelor apartment, each knock seemed to resound like a thunderous roar as if a hefty hammer was striking Zhou Ming’s ears!

His eyes widened in an instant, almost convinced it was a hallucination brought on by a string of events and disappointments. But then he snapped back to reality, realizing that the knocking was very much real—and it was continuing without pause.

He rushed to the door like a gust of wind, his hand reaching for the doorknob, but as he was about to turn it, he hesitated for two seconds.

Was it really safe to open the door? Could doing so blindly lead him into a trap?

If it had been in the first days of his confinement in this room, he wouldn’t have had such worries; back then, he simply thought the dense fog was some kind of peculiar “phenomenon” and still firmly believed that beyond the fog lay the home he knew so well. Now, however, Zhou Ming was aware of what had happened to his world—his hometown had long since turned to dust, and the only thing left in the entire universe was his little abode, with nothing beyond the boundless fog but the ashes of the Annihilation of All Things.

After the world’s demise, who would come knocking at his door?

No matter how he thought about it, it was unlikely to be a normal “living person.”

Zhou Ming weighed his options cautiously as the knocks persisted with patient repetition, every three to five seconds, neither hurried nor avoiding to display the knocker’s patience and persistence, as if a polite yet obstinate visitor was determined to pay a visit.

…Opening the door might be a trap, but not opening it meant possibly missing out on this “visit”—whoever was outside, this was an unprecedented event that he had to investigate.

Countless thoughts flashed through Zhou Ming’s mind until he finally took a slight breath, set his resolve, and placed one hand on the doorknob while the other brushed lightly over the doorframe.
