Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive Chapter 544: The History of the Village

After waiting for a few minutes and exchanging more pleasantries, an old man using a walking stick appeared from a distance.

He was walking slowly but one could tell that despite his old age, he still had the vigor of a younger person.

He walked with slow but quite steady steps to the tree where the group of old n and the newcors were sitting.

Chu Miao and Ye Xuan stood up and bowed to the old man.

This was also due to respect and the fact that he was even older than her grandfather.

"Hello chief."

"Hello elder."

The two of them greeted him at the sa ti.

"Hello young friends. Please sit down." The chief invited them to sit back down. He then waved at the woman who had brought him over and instructed her to serve them tea.

"What are our friends doing so far out of the city?" The chief asked.

Listening to him and what the other elder had asked earlier, it seed that they don’t get visitors very often.

"We were passing by from City A to City C over a week ago when we noticed sothing strange about this village. We wanted to co in and have a look but we were in a hurry to send dicine to a dying person.

Now that our mission has been completed, we decided to pass by here again and check out the village. But we noticed more activity around the village and thought that sothing had happened, so we ca in unannounced.

Sorry about that." Chu Miao took the lead to explain knowing that her boyfriend was useless in this area.

"Oh, so you were just passing by when you noticed the village?" The chief asked as if he was not surprised at all.

"Yes, is there a problem?" Ye Xuan sensed sothing in the old man’s words and asked.

"It is not easy to notice our village even if you pass by here." The chief replied.

This surprised both Ye Xuan and Chu Miao because the village was so obvious by the road. How was it difficult to find?

Seeing their puzzled expressions, the chief smiled.

"Prepare a feast for our friends. I will explain the details as we eat." He said.

Chu Miao sensed sothing was amiss and decided to stay. They hoped that the others outside would not think too much and cultivate in peace.

Soon, a table filled with different dishes was prepared.

This was actually a rare sight. Not for Chu Miao and Ye Xuan who had an abundance of food in the Soul Ring but for others experiencing the apocalypse.

There was a chicken that had been slaughtered and made into soup, stir fried vegetables, and rice.

A few middle-aged n joined them and ate with them.

Once they had eaten, the chief finally got to the point.

"Our village is special. You must have noticed this if you decided to co in.

There is an ancient array surrounding it that prevents us from leaving in case of a calamity.

This is a form of protection left behind by our ancestors but it also ans that those in the village when it was activated could not leave.

In fact, those passing by outside can’t even locate the village and therefore, cannot co in either." The old chief explained and took a break to sip tea.

However, what he said confused both Chu Miao and Ye Xuan.

Saying that those passing by outside couldn’t find the village felt a little exaggerated. After all, they were already inside, aning that they not only found the village, they ca in too.

The old chief seed to have read their thoughts and explained.

"The array protecting this village is very old. It is thousands of years old and was built to surround a family.

The Liu family was a middle-tier family in those tis and had about a thousand mbers living in the main branch.

Then, the ancestors of the Liu family heard rumors about a prophecy that said that a calamity would one day befall the world and when that happened, all humans would perish.

The only way was for the chosen savior to take action, then part of the human population could be saved.

Because of their low status, the Liu family didn’t get many details, but they didn’t ignore the prophecy either despite getting sketchy details.

They decided to take advantage of their resources and background in array formations to create a large array that could protect the family if sothing really happened.

So the array surrounding this village was built. Yes, this village was the main residence of the Liu family, but with the decline of the family over the thousands of years, not many mbers of the original family are left.

Instead, more people moved here and the once family residence turned into a village.

However, the array remained.

After so many years, however, the Liu family never neglected to tell the story about the prophecy to their descendants.

That’s how I also know about it.

My na is Liu Da, the oldest remaining mber of the Liu family." The chief explained, causing Ye Xuan and Chu Miao to look at each other.

The prophecy he talked about should be the sa prophecy that brought Chu Yue to the modern world.

"So, you activated the array when the apocalypse started?" Chu Miao asked.

She was impatient for more details.

"No, it looks like the ancestors got so more details about the calamity than they talked about.

When people started having mass fever that night, without a warning, the array activated.

Since then, no one could co in or leave. The prophecy said that the only person who could co in through that array or even find the family residence was the chosen one.

That’s why I was surprised when you just happened to be passing by and found the village entrance." The chief explained further, which also cleared Chu Miao’s doubts.
