These old bastards have been rambling on for so long, but they haven't actually helped at all.
Jiang Xiao's mood became unusually heavy, and he felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.
The smile that had been on Shi Shi's face was gone. She sat on the steps, hugging her legs, lost in thought.
The old men sat down together again to discuss the true meaning of the prophecy, hoping to find clues to solve the virus problem.
"The prophecy only says that the demon child will descend and the disaster will be averted, but it doesn't mention the specific methods."
The old men looked at each other, their expressions revealing helplessness.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
"Have we overlooked something? Is the prophesied demon child merely a symbolic figure?"
Jiang Xiao's voice carried a hint of confusion.
"Or perhaps the demon in the prophecy doesn't refer to just me, but to all of us? We need to unite and face this disaster together."
After a long silence, Shi Shi offered her own perspective, attempting to interpret the prophecy from a different angle.
The old men were silent for a moment, then nodded one by one, indicating that the little devil was talking nonsense.
"First of all, it's not like you need five armors to combine into Emperor Armor to defeat the final boss. Little sister, you're thinking too idealistically."
"In reality, there is usually only one savior, and the extras are always the same old characters. Even if a salted fish turns over, it is still a salted fish."
"This matter still needs to be handled by your father; he has a lot of energy."
These old men had something on them, but it was certain that Jiang Xiao's personal strength was absolutely extraordinary.
"But...this is a virus! Even the strongest individual can't solve this, right?"
As Jiang Xiao listened to their discussion, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
He remembered that in the world of ghost stories, sometimes solving problems doesn't require direct confrontation, but rather finding the root cause of the problem.
"Wait, shouldn't we find the source of the virus first? If we can find out where it came from, maybe we can find a way to stop it."
Jiang Xiao stood up, his tone firm.
Upon hearing this, everyone was greatly impressed, realizing that Jiang Xiao's words made a lot of sense!
Although the prophecy did not provide specific guidance, they could not sit idly by and had to rely on themselves to explore it slowly.
"If it's the source, then it really exists."
The old men exchanged glances, as if confirming something with each other.
In the end, their gazes all settled on Jiang Xiao, as if he were the only key to solving this mystery.
"As for the source..." The old men were silent for a while before someone finally spoke, his tone hesitant.
"If I had to pinpoint a source, it might be related to Shanghai and Hong Kong."
Shanghai to Hong Kong!
The old men explained that Shanghai and Hong Kong are among the most prosperous coastal ports on the continent and important hubs for international trade.
However, after the outbreak of the virus, this place was immediately overrun, information was blocked, and the outside world knew almost nothing about it.
"Is there no one there now?" Jiang Xiao asked.
"No, there is more, but the situation there is very serious."
"And it seems that a large number of people have gone to investigate that strange research institute you mentioned."
“We need to go to Shanghai and Hong Kong,” Jiang Xiao said decisively, his voice devoid of any hesitation.
"Go there?" Shi Shi looked at Jiang Xiao in surprise. "But that place is now a major epicenter of the virus outbreak. How can we get in?"
Jiang Xiao pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly.
“We need to develop a detailed plan. If Shanghai and Hong Kong are indeed the source of the virus, then we may find a way to stop it there.”
Chapter 536 The Vanished Tribe
"Is it really possible?"
Shi Shi looked conflicted, but it was clear that she wasn't afraid; she just felt that doing this was a bit too arbitrary.
"Yes, as you can see, we have absolutely no clue what's going on. Even if we don't go to Shanghai or Hong Kong, we should at least go to other places where the virus is rampant and see what's going on, right?"
After a pause, Jiang Xiao continued.
"We can't waste any more time. I'd rather make a mistake than do nothing!"
The old men looked at each other, a determined glint in their eyes.
Mudd?
If the Demon Prince, an outsider, is this so formidable, isn't it a bit too much for me to be so timid and hesitant at this moment?
On their faces, the passion and determination that had been dormant for many years were rekindled.
"Let us go!"
One of the old men suddenly stood up, his voice firm and powerful.
"Are we old bones just going to stand by and watch disaster devour everything, and sit here waiting to die?!"
"That's right!"
Another old man also stood up.
“We have seen far more storms in our lives than this young man has. Now is the time for us to step up.”
"Our experience, our knowledge, and our courage should not be buried at this time!"
The third old man followed closely behind, his eyes gleaming with unwavering determination.
The fourth old man was rather strange. He had been frowning and staring at the documents in his hand since the beginning, and seemed to have not spoken for a long time.
Looking at these old men who had suddenly become so enthusiastic, Shi Shi couldn't help but feel a little excited herself.
She knew that at this moment, she was witnessing the awakening of a group of elderly people, and also witnessing an extraordinary unity.
"Then let's go together!"
Jiang Xiao's voice rang out again, his gaze sweeping across everyone's face.
"We need to develop a comprehensive plan to ensure we can safely enter Shanghai and Hong Kong and find the source of the virus."
The old men nodded in agreement. They knew that they could offer Jiang Xiao some assistance, but the main force still needed to rely on the man predicted.
These old men acted very quickly.
Some people were responsible for collecting all the information about Shanghai and Hong Kong, while others began collecting all the information after the outbreak of the virus.
Some people also started contacting their old friends in Shanghai and Hong Kong to find out what the situation was like there.
Finally, as night fell, everyone had everything ready.
Jiang Xiao, the old men, and Shi Shi waited anxiously on the school playground.
As a helicopter landed, Jiang Xiao realized that it was finally time to leave the campus.
"let's go!"
Jiang Xiao was the first to board the plane, followed closely by the old men and Shi Shi.
Their figures gradually disappeared into the night, but the flame in their hearts burned even more fiercely in this cold night.
Especially these "veterans".
Perhaps knowing the heavy responsibility they bore, they seemed to have instantly become decades younger, and everyone was full of energy.
Only the old man wearing reading glasses was among them.
He always looked preoccupied.
"Old Yang, what's wrong? You don't look too well."
An old man asked with concern, and the others also looked worried.
It seems that this Mr. Yang has a very high status, and everyone respects him.
"Old Yang's health wasn't very good to begin with, and now he has to travel around with us."
"Oh, stop with the nonsense. I'm just old, not dead."
However, the weariness in his eyes and the lingering sorrow kept the others from putting their minds at ease.
Director Wang did not go back today.
He planned to stay overnight in the Nika tribe and return the next day.
They obtained a lot of useful information during the day.
The most important thing is that 'God' is high above, invincible, and the most perfect being.
Of course, this is only the old lady's side of the story. As the most faithful believer in 'God,' she naturally wouldn't allow any flaws in her faith.
"Director Wang, when should we take action?"
Director Wang glanced at the time on his watch and shook his head.
