Gate of Apocalypse

"Congratulations, you have reached the first step."

This time, the GM issued a real voice: "But I must remind you that almost all the power you possess in your body now was also released with the explosion just now."

"It's okay." Chen Xiaolian weakly waved his hand: "The seeds of power are still inside me, I just need to run for a while to be able to recover. Let me ...... rest for a while first."

Chen Xiaolian closed his eyes and relaxed his entire body.

"But at least the part of the power that originated from the singularity, you are lost forever. According to my calculations, even if you fully recover, your overall strength will drop to less than 60% of the original, and possibly even more."

"It doesn't matter." Chen Xiaolian did not open his eyes.

Pure strength was no longer that important in the future battle with this guy Tatsu.

What determines victory or defeat is the understanding of the essential rules of this world.

Just like in the just concluded copy of Los Angeles, Chen Xiaolian was able to change Adric's BOSS identity, to take out the master embryo inside him, to change the result caused by the stiff dragon skill, relying not on his own power, but on the ability to read the world code.

What's more, a functioning Singularity, a new Zero City, is indispensable in his future negotiations with Tatsu.

The GM stopped talking.

Chen Xiaolian rested for a while, feeling some of the power that had been drained from his body recovered, before slowly opening his eyes: "Okay, now it's time for us to set up this new Zero City. When you controlled the singularity outbreak just now, you should now have the authority to control this space."

"Yes. You make the request and I will execute it."

"Then ...... let me imitate that famous scene!" Chen Xiaolian laughed heatedly, straightened his body, changed his solemn tone, and said loudly in the void, "First, there must be light!"

A dazzling light immediately radiated from the spinning chaos.

"The space where the singularity is located has to be hidden, just like the Hall of Eternal Life." Chen Xiaolian thought about it and continued.

The singularity spun and disappeared in place, but the space around it remained the same.

"The ground, and gravity."

A blanket of white earth appeared below, Chen Xiaolian landed lightly on the ground and nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, that's it for now."

"This is your new zero city? A space where there is nothing?" The GM asked curiously.

"Of course not." Chen Xiaolian smiled, "The layout inside, I plan to replicate the original Zero City's appearance. But I can't remember that much, so let's leave it to Adric and the others."

"Adric?" The GM's voice had some surprise: "You re-built Zero City, is it to let them in?"

"What? Can't you?" Chen Xiaolian raised his eyebrows, "This is the place I built, I'll let whoever I want in! Not to mention Adric, even if I let all the Awakened ones in, that's still my right!"

"Let all the Awakened ones in?" The GM was silent for a moment: "Chen Xiaolian, there's something you haven't told me."

"It's been revealed to you."

Chen Xiaolian smiled heatedly: "Yes, I still have a farther plan. And ...... also holds some things you don't know. To be honest, this feels really good."

"What's nice?"

"When I first became a vulnerability, almost everyone in my eyes, knew more than me, and also one or two, all like to play dumb with me." Chen Xiaolian smiled somewhat emotionally: "You or Mr. Umbrella or ...... at that time in my eyes, you are all big brothers, all know the truth about nearly everything, but just refused to be cool and quick to tell me all, but want me to think, to guess, to find... ...

But now, at last, the tables have turned between us! My knowledge of the world's 'reality' has surpassed yours as a GM. and I have the option to ...... not tell you the answers you want to know. This feels simply great!"

"Actually taking a stand in front of me?" The GM hummed softly, "Aren't you afraid that I will refuse to cooperate with you?"

"You won't. When you know the truth, you will definitely not refuse." Chen Xiaolian shook his head confidently.

"Chen Xiaolian, you're swollen ......"

......

High in the sky, a small flying machine was flying rapidly.

The one driving the plane was Dodoro. Adric sat in the back cabin with his head hanging low, as if a frozen statue.

Since he boarded the craft, he has not said a word, nor has he moved half a cent.

What happened in the copy just now was beyond his comprehension.

How exactly did Chen Xiaolian have such a terrifying power now?

And what was he ...... referring to when he said he wanted his help?

The communicator had been cupped in his hand, and the entire surface was already wet with sweat.

"Chief?"

The cabin, which had been silent, suddenly sounded Dodoro's voice.

"Chief, Bass just reported to us that the base's supplies are almost at the bottom."

Adric raised his head and what he saw was the worried look on Dodoro's face.

The matter of Zero City being invaded happened too suddenly. Although some preparations were briefly made before the retreat, the evacuees' storage equipment was still dominated by equipment and equipment.

Although everyone originally carried some rations with them, they couldn't help but consume for such a long time. Especially among the evacuees, many are members of the outer team, their storage equipment level is not high, space is limited, originally also did not have the ability to load too much stuff.

In the icy Antarctic continent, as long as there is enough energy, clear water is endless, but there is not much food to come.

These days, the penguins around the temporary base have been eaten to the point of extinction.

"How much longer can it support?" Adric nodded.

"About ...... a week." Dodoro replied quickly, "Bass just said on the call that he has planned two options, one is to send a few people away from the base to collect food, targeting South Africa and Argentina. The other option is to ...... open the base to ban the order of going out. Now we are only waiting for your decision."

"The second one is not feasible for now." Adric shook his head: "Our current strength recovery level is not enough. Lifting the ban now will most likely lead to other teams of awakened ones or even players discovering our existence."

Speaking of this, Adric began to have another headache.

Over the past six months, from time to time, all of the remnants of Zero City were also drawn by the system and had to be forced to participate in the copies. And Adric personally took the field each time, accompanied them to participate in the copy, the purpose is to ensure that regardless of the copy victory or not, can not let the other teams learn the whereabouts of the remnants of Zero City.

The purpose is to ensure that no matter whether the copy is successful or not, the other team will not know the whereabouts of the Zero City remnants.

After all, among the people who evacuated Zero City at that time, there were not many senior people with strong combat power, most of them were logisticians responsible for managing and maintaining Zero City.

Although it is said that these people are also awakened, all have been enhanced, but with these numbers of personnel, it is clear that it is impossible to withstand the entire world of awakened hunting.

But if the alien genes obtained in the Los Angeles copy can be preserved ...... now where they need to care about such things!

"Yes, that's what I thought." Dodoro nodded and reached into his arms, "The list of people sent to prepare food I have ......"

A communicator beep suddenly sounded.

Adric's expression did not change, but his eyes flickered for a moment.

"Chief ......?"

Dodoro looked at the communicator in Adric's hand and gulped nervously.

Adric pondered for a moment, picked up the communicator and connected.

"Adric? This is Chen Xiaolian." On the other end of the call, Chen Xiaolian's voice was concise and dry: "To make a long story short, I have a place to put your people."

"Be more specific." Adric pondered for a second: "What kind of place, where is the location, and the most important question, why should I trust you?"

"I know you don't trust me yet, so I haven't asked where you are, and I don't plan to find you." Chen Xiaolian smiled: "Give you an address, and you come to me. I will let you see it with your own eyes."

After saying that, Chen Xiaolian gave out an address and ended the call.

Adric put down the communicator and slowly closed his eyes.

"Could this be a ...... trap?" Dodoro asked cautiously.

"No." Adric thought about it and shook his head, "With Chen Xiaolian's current strength, if he wanted to kill me, he would have been able to do it in the copy before, there was no need to wait until now."

"Good ...... it." Duo Duo Luo hesitated and nodded: "Then we'll turn around here?"

"No." Adric's answer was unexpected to Dodoro: "I'll go alone. You keep your course and head back to base."

"What?" As soon as Dodoro froze, Adric had lifted the hatch.

The strong airflow from the high altitude immediately swept into the cabin.

"If ...... I mean if, something goes wrong with me ......," Adric thought for a moment and turned his head to Dodoro behind him, "The base is under You are responsible for leading. In the future, in any place, whether inside or outside the copy, stay away from Chen Xiaolian and his team."

"I understand." Duo Duo Luo nodded slowly and looked at Adric as he jumped out of the hatch.

A small flying machine was taken out. Adric gently jumped within the cabin, started the engine, and cut a harsh arc, flying out in another direction.
