The Minister replied as he passed the pile of information he hid on his chair as if they've expected this soldier to bargain with them. "Sure enough, Xueya is right. Here is the information."

"Sir, why aren't you asking someone to apprehend Ximen Xueya so you could ask him about these things with him. Clearly, he knew more about the apocalypse instead of me." said Shi Moye.

Once this question was asked a dangerous glare had come from General Cao. Major Shi Moye felt like the man wanted to kill him at this moment but he couldn't understand which of his words had offended this God.

"Do you want to die?" asked Cao Junye as he glared at Shi Moye. The moment he heard he wanted Xueya to be apprehended against his will made his fury explode. He almost couldn't stop himself from wringing out this man's neck.

Shi Moye's thoughts: 'W-What did I do?! I've just asked why they are not catching Ximen Xueya to interrogate him according to laws...'

"General Cao, hold down your anger!" scolded the State Head.

Only then Cao Junye averted his dangerous gaze from Shi Moye.

State Head explained the reason why instead, "It's not that we don't want to ask Xueya's help. But after sending us the information in your hand, he suddenly disappeared without a trace. That address of that newly bought Ximen mountain from before was a wrong one. I already sent someone to check it but the place is different from the records. His mansion in S District was left abandoned as well. After leaving General Cao's place, Xueya and his son had disappeared without a trace. No one can find where he had gone. His last message to this old man is to seek you instead. This is the reason why we summoned you here."

Knowing that their connection to Ximen Xueya was cut off, they could only look for Shi Moye whom Xueya had suggested to look for. After meeting this Major at this moment only then they realized that this man indeed knew about the incoming disaster. They had to bargain with him to receive information in exchange.

Their time is running out. They only have 40 plus days to make hastened preparations. No one questioned Ximen Xueya why he didn't inform them ahead of time. As they themselves still don't believe an apocalypse is coming. The government tried to send few news about the apocalypse in secret but they didn't try telling it in a direct way lest the others say that the government had gotten crazy.

In secret the government and military had hoarded resources from food to basic necessities. They've used up all their savings just to gather enough. This especially true with regards to the General Mansion. But the money of General Cao was used up into two things. First is resources and second is used to buy information about the missing Ximen Family.

At the General's Mansion except for Uncle Wu most of the servants were sent home. Cai Junye had only kept those with close relationships with him since childhood by his side. His unit remains with him as well. The government and military had worked together and chose a desolated district to secretly build a base they would use as a hideout during the end of the world. They've left Major Shi Moye to control the people at the base. Of course! They were forbidden to come to that place until 25th of December had passed.

It's been two weeks since the Ximen Family had gone missing. General Cao returned home only to be slapped by a crying Lou Lan. It took him half a month before he heard that his friend had gone missing. Clearly it was Cao Junye who forced Wang Lei not to tell him anything. If he didn't notice that Xueya and Chino's missing presence ever since these few days he wouldn't have ordered the guards to hear that Ximen Xueya and his son had suddenly disappeared after getting in a fight with Cao Junye.

Slapped!

Wang Lei held back his lover who suddenly hit his boss, "Lan'er! What are you doing!?"

Lou Lan glared at his own lover and at the General in front of him then he sarcastically said, "You like him you said? You will protect them, you said?! In the end they still left. LIAR!!!"

"Xueya wouldn't just leave unless you upset him enough that he would lose his heart! He rarely trusts someone and it just happens that he chose to trust you because you had saved them before! What's with this end result right now!? What the hell did you say to Xueya that he left your side without hesitation!?"

"Trash! Liar!! The apocalypse is coming but THEY ARE STILL OUT THERE!!! You should just die!!! JUST DIE!!"

Lou Lan's breakdown was so much that he spouted hurtful words without hesitation. As a family member of someone in higher ranks in the military, he is informed about the incoming disaster. At first Lou Lan was relieved that his only friend and his nephew were staying with the general. This is the reason he visits them in the General mansion most of the time.

He should have noticed it early. When the guards prevent him from visiting the mansion countless times. That dodgy reaction of his lover when he asked about the Ximen Family and the General.

The stress Lou Lan had suffered is too much that he suddenly fainted about shouting at the General. Wang Lei had to carry his lover in his arms carefully tucking him in his embrace. Seeing this gesture the stern face of the General slightly twitched.

Wang Lei apologized to his boss, "Boss please forgive Lan'er. It's just that the news of the apocalypse has been stressing him lately and... Ximen Xueya happened to be his only friend."

"I know... that's why I let him slap me. It was indeed my fault. Go home and take a rest. After these two weeks, the peace would end."

"Uncle Wu escorts them out. I don't want visitors for a few days." said Cao Junye before walking up to his office.

The old butler replied, "As you wish, sir."

Once the General disappeared from their line of sight, Wang Lei asked the old butler about his boss' situation.

Wang Lei asked, "Uncle Wu any news about the Ximen Family?"

The Old man shook his head in reply. This means there is still no news about the Ximen father and son ever since they've left the General's Mansion.

"We had contacted all kinds of brokers and information dealers just to find any news about the Ximen Family. But as if they don't exist at all everything related to them has disappeared. All trusted personnel of the Ximen Family except for the young butler named Yun Suisen had all disappeared without a trace as well. Clearly someone is hiding the information."

"This is clearly the work of the Ximen Family. They wanted to have no connection to the rest and was quietly waiting for the end of the world to arrive. The Ximen Family under the orders of Ximen Xueya had been hoarding resources for half a year. The preparations made by their side is obviously more than we could in this last month. We could not find them unless the apocalypse began and waited for them to make their move." said Wang Lei.

The Old Butler Wu replied, "The Master understood this and took back all orders about finding them. But he chose to bury himself to work lately. After all, the way they've parted is not good. Child be careful. Our time is running out fast."

Wang Lei could remember the Christmas decorations placed all over the city. They were all preparing for a big vacation without them knowing the world is ending. He could silently take his leave with his lover. He might have thought that the other people were pitiful to spend the rest of their days without knowing the incoming disaster. But thinking that he had only enough strength to protect his loved ones, Wang Lei chose to turn a blind eye to everything else except his lover and unit.
