<font size="5">CHAPTER 1.1: REBIRTH</font>\n<font size="3">"Kala——", the thick wooden door was suddenly pulled open with force.\n\nIn the next instant, a black shadow immediately sprinted for the outside. The urgent footsteps were resounding against the floor of the corridor, and in the serenity of the house, it was like a boom of thunder, breaking the quiet and tranquil atmosphere. Seeming as though he was running with the greatest strength of his life, Jing Xia rushed down the stairs without turning back, dashing towards the front door.\n\n"Young Master!"\n\nSuddenly hearing this voice, the right hand that had already touched the metal doorknob suddenly stiffened. Jing Xia slowly turned around, looking at the old man whose shout halted him with disbelief. Only to see the splendid warm sunshine shining through the French windows into the interior of the house, the light rays illuminating the fine dust particles in the air so that one could \nsee even the slightest difference between them. \n\nAlthough he had a face full of wrinkles, the old man’s back was ramrod straight, smiling kindly: "Young master, you are already in your twenties, how can you still carelessly rush out like this? Last week, didn’t someone warn us, to have everyone stay in the house for this period of time, not going out to wander around?”\n\nHearing the voice full of concern, Jing Xia’s eyes slowly misted over after a brief moment of surprise. His vision became increasingly blurred, until finally, he could only feel a burning liquid trickling down from the corners of his eyes, as well as a violently beating heart in his chest.\n\nSteward Wang\n\nThe Steward Wang who has watched him grow up from being an unsensible child.\n\nFor the him in his childhood, his own grandfather had always been a solemn, serious, dreadful existence with his walking stick. He did not know when he had started to regard this kind and amiable Steward Wang as his real grandfather. He had once thought to wait a few years, when Steward Wang was old, he could then settle him down and let the childless Steward Wang enjoy his late years.\n\nBut everything was destroyed by the so-called abnormal movement of the sunspot.\n\nIt was this summer, not knowing exactly which second or minute it had started from, that all the wireless signals in the world were completely cut off. The network signals disappeared, the cell phone signals were blocked, and even the non-AC type of electromagnetic waves completely disappeared from everyone's households.\nThe world suddenly fell into a state of panic.\n\nNo one knows how the countries on the other side of the ocean dealt with this crisis, since even the communication between different cities can only rely on the most primitive form of manpower. The use of carrier pigeons has long been eliminated from modern society, so that even if they do exist, they are still incapable of becoming the instruments of communication between the regions.\n\nBecause... the magnetic field has become distorted.\n\nThis is what Jing Xia learned during the real end of the world, and currently, everyone believes that what they are currently facing is a sudden sunspot anomaly. This is not what the populace actually believed, but rather, news that the Huaxia Government sent out immediately after the sudden occurrence of the mutation, sending people everywhere to evacuate the crowd with this information.\n\nIt must be said that under the so-called experts’ explanation, half convinced, people finally returned to their houses. They avoided receiving direct sunlight and settled to wait for the short sunspot activity to conclude. However... it wasn’t until a person who vomited blood appeared in the building, that someone finally could not hold back.\n\nWhen the first person to die from this disease appeared, it could have been said to be the result after a long time of accumulation. But then, like a domino effect, the second person died, the third, the fourth, and after people began to die one after the other, people could no longer calm down.\n\nThinking of this, Jing Xia suddenly clenched his hands, his heart feeling an endless stabbing pain.\n\nIt was at the beginning of this mutation, that Steward Wang died with the tens of thousands of people with this disease. It was precisely because he had to look on helplessly as this old man, who had always loved himself dearly, closed his eyes in front of him that he realized that—--\n\nThe end of the world is here.\n\n"Young master, why are you crying?" looking at the tears in the corner of the young man’s eyes, Steward Wang immediately stepped forward and calmly said: "It doesn't matter, although everyone else is gone, I am still here with you. The Master is now on a business trip in the S city, he will be back once the accident is over.”\n\nHearing Steward Wang’s voice of concern, Jing Xia slowly gritted his teeth. He suddenly raised his hand, wiping away the hot liquid that welled up in the rim of his eyes, and grasped the old man’s rough hand, saying, "Steward Wang, no... Grandpa Wang, I will take you with me and go!"\n\nDue to losing the old man for an exceedingly long amount of time after the end of the world, Jing Xia had forgotten his existence at the beginning of his rebirth. Even after he was reborn, he had only thought about finding Ji Chuancheng, and had forgotten to do a multitude of other things.\n\nSteward Wang listened before staring blankly, asking: "Young master, didn’t the higher-ups say that you must stay indoors and not wander around in the sun? You..."\n\n"Trust me."\n\nHis beautiful pupils shone with a ray of firmness, as Jing Xia earnestly and solemnly gazed at the puzzled elder in front of him, causing Steward Wang to be stunned in place. That resolute gaze is something that he had rarely seen over the past decades. Amongst the youngsters that Steward Wang had encountered over his entire lifetime, only the young master of the Ji family, who had a good relationship with their Jing family, had such a sharp gaze. \n\nThis is different from the young master he had known.\n\nWithout that brash and overbearing behaviour, the young master seemed to have woken up to reality overnight, from an unpolished jade to a fine jade that is filled with luster. When the sharp thorns that surrounded the body had been withdrawn, it was no longer the reckless Jing Xia from before.\n\n"Grandpa Wang, you should go and collect all the cans, and other food that can be preserved for a long time from the house. I will go and collect the car from the garage." Although his eyes are still tinted red, Jing Xia had already calmed down. He started to command in a logical manner: "I remember that there was a collection of knives in my father's study. The only people with keys to the safe are you and my father, so you can help me retrieve one."\n\nAfter listening to Jing Xia, Steward Wang did not completely understand what was happening: "Young Master, why do you need a knife? Unless it will be dangerous when we go out this time?"\n\nJing Xia’s pupil slightly contracted, calmly stating: "We are going to look for Ji Chuancheng.”</font>\n\n\n\n
