Gate of Apocalypse

"Eleven days have passed, is it still only the Sentinel Mech that has been mass-produced again?" Inside Room Zero, Chen Xiaolian sat on the sofa and looked at the GM in front of him with some displeasure.

"I told you a long time ago, it's not as simple as you think." The GM stood across from Chen Xiaolian: "You also said that I am not Taichi."

Chen Xiaolian sighed.

Things were progressing much more slowly than he had imagined.

Although the singularity that supported the new Zero City had a nearly infinite amount of energy, it took time to figure out how to convert the energy into supplies.

The millions of tons of resources that he had heard about when he was in Zero City before should have been converted by Taichi in the 33 days, and it was not known how long it had been accumulated.

This GM now has been refreshed for an unknown number of times. And it can be assumed that every time he was refreshed, his authority would be partially stripped away by the development team.

Compared to his predecessor Taichi, he was far inferior to both the level of knowledge of the world template and the authority he possessed.

Although in once he arrived at a way to convert energy into a certain resource, he could immediately convert a large amount of it and get a nearly unlimited amount of resources for the current New Zero City, but no matter what kind of equipment it was, it was not something that could be manufactured with just a single type of resource.

Simple things like steel and explosives, of course, the GM quickly tried out ways to transform them, but the resources needed to make higher-end technological equipment are relatively much more complex.

And like sentinel mechs and thunderstorm chariots such as large high-tech equipment, each of which requires hundreds of raw materials. After such a long time, Chen Xiaolian had only managed to gather enough resources for the production of the Sentry Mech.

And he also deliberately chose such a kind of equipment with the strongest ubiquity to let the GM prioritize the production resource development.

"There should ...... be enough for the moment." Chen Xiaolian sighed: "There's no time to wait any longer. Now, how much is the reserve of Sentry Mechs? What about the production rate?"

"123 units. At the current rate, an average of 17 units can be produced every day." The GM replied, "In addition, the resource discipline and manufacturing machinery needed to produce the Thunderstorm Chariot will be ready in about three to five more days. When the production line is completed, it will be able to produce about 1.4 Thunderstorm Chariots per day."

"Got it. Have Adric come to see me." Chen Xiaolian nodded.

Soon, Adrik was teleported within Chen Xiaolian's room.

"Ready to go?"

When Adric saw Chen Xiaolian, he did not greet him and asked straight to the point.

"The level of preparation is not to my satisfaction, but I can't wait any longer." Chen Xiaolian shook his head, "How many people do you have there who can pilot the Sentry Mech?"

"One of the basic training that the resident team members of Zero City must undergo after joining is mech piloting." Adric nodded: "Of course, it's just the most basic training, the exact level depends on their subsequent learning. The total number of people now is 384, of which 213 are resident team members, and within the remaining 171 peripheral team members, there should also be about half who know basic operation."

"Pick the 100 people with the best driving skills to come out and join the copy. I will assign each of them a Sentinel Mech." Chen Xiaolian took stock: "For the rest of the personnel, use the remaining Sentinel Mechs for training. Zero City can only produce technological equipment at the moment, and I need them to quickly grow into qualified pilots."

"One hundred units?!" Adric froze.

For the previous resident team of Zero City, a hundred Sentinel Mechs was not a huge number, but it was not something that could be taken out casually either.

Adric did not expect that Chen Xiaolian would get so many mechs so quickly.

"Wait a few more days, and even the Thunderstorm Chariot will be ready for mass production." Chen Xiaolian smiled, "Don't look surprised, with your seniority, you shouldn't be so fussed."

Adric's surprised expression only flickered and immediately regained his composure: "Understood. When do we leave?"

"One day for screening personnel, as well as recovery training, should be enough." Chen Xiaolian considered for a moment: "My teammates have been keeping an eye on the replica intelligence on the Awakened World's website, a day later, there is a replica in Brazil. level B, no restrictions on technology-based weapons."

"Understood, I will be ready for the expedition as soon as possible." Adric nodded: "What about you? Will you also participate in this copy?"

"No, I have other things to do." Chen Xiaolian shook his head: "With an S-rank expert leading your team and so many Sentinel mechs, there is no difficulty in this copy. And I will also let my teammates move with you. There is just one thing that I must instruct you."

"Say." Adric nodded his head.

Chen Xiaolian looked at Adric seriously: "You, the person, the biggest advantage is caution. Waiting for an opportunity to strike a blow. How can I put it? Indeed, this is a very effective way of fighting, but what we need now, is not this.

Openness! Spirited! Move like thunder! That's the way you should act now!

Zero City has been silent for a long time. In the eyes of all the Awakened and players, you have become gutter rats hiding your heads. The original respect and fear for you guys has been gradually worn away with the long time that has passed.

Therefore, the significance of this copy is very significant. You must immediately declare your presence and put your muscles on good display the first time you enter the copy, got it?"

"I thought you were going to say something." Adric smiled: "Would I not know about such things?"

"But - try to kill as little as possible until the last resort, whether it's an Awakened or a player." Chen Xiaolian said seriously, "Remember, what you want to establish is authority, not authority. The monsters in the copy, of course, do not keep your hands. But other awakened ones, as long as they are not competitive copies and are not actively provoking you, do not attack them actively, or even - as much as possible - provide some assistance."

"It's all about grace and power, right?" Adric nodded: "Don't worry, how do you think so many outlying teams in Zero City before, came about?"

"That's good."

......

"It's snowing. ......"

As a curtain of light fell, Chen Xiaolian stood on the street.

It was late at night, the sparse street lights shining, white snowflakes fell, the ground has accumulated a thick layer of snow.

"The snow in Eastern Europe really has a little more flavor." Chen Xiaolian twisted up a snowflake and muttered to himself.

This was the capital of Romania, Bucharest.

After handing over the Sentry Mech to Adric, Chen Xiaolian gave a message to Qiao Qiao and the others and left Zero City.

With Zero City, it was also much easier to move than before. Although the speed of the tidal fighter was fast, how could it take several hours to fly across the continent. Now, on the other hand, it was only necessary to designate the exit.

The time was eleven o'clock at night, plus the snow was flying, there were no more pedestrians on the street.

Chen Xiaolian looked at the surrounding buildings, searched in his memories, and walked towards the other side of the road.

From here, after turning two more corners, it should be the nightclub in Phoenix.

Chen Xiaolian remembered that when he saw Phoenix in the innermost room of the nightclub that day, she had just finished playing a game of mahjong, mediating for the peace of the black bosses in the surrounding blocks, and chopping off the hand of a disobedient guy.

One had not thought at all before that Phoenix's identity in the table world was the dark world master of Bucharest.

After turning two street corners, Chen Xiaolian saw the iron door that he remembered.

On both sides of the iron gate, there were two rows of cars parked full of cars.

Through the heavy iron door, Chen Xiaolian could hear the sound of powerful music coming from inside.

He went to the iron door and knocked gently on it.

The door opened quickly, and inside stood two large chicks with a great figure, one blonde and one brunette. Despite being in the middle of winter, they were wearing hot and powerful sequin skirts and threw a winks at Chen Xiaolian.

"A change of style." Chen Xiaolian smiled.

Remember the last time I came, there were two muscular men standing at the door. At that time, she herself was muttering in her heart, Phoenix arranged this kind of welcome at the entrance of a nightclub, was she afraid that business would be too good?

Fortunately, her brain has finally turned around now.

Chen Xiaolian took a step to walk inside, but was stopped by two big girls in front of him.

"This young gentleman, have you forgotten the entrance fee?100 lei, and ......"

The two big girls simultaneously pulled down the dress that already showed half of their breasts, revealing their snow-white cleavage and smiled, "If you plan to give a little tip, please put it here."

Chen Xiaolian rolled his eyes.

This is a bit ...... tacky over the top, right?

"I'm not here to spend money. I came to find your boss." Chen Xiaolian shook his head and smiled, "Take me to see her."

"Meet ...... her?" The two big chicks reacted but Chen Xiaolian's reaction was unexpectedly stunned.

"Your boss, Phoenix." Chen Xiaolian smiled, "If you guys don't have that permission, then it's fine for me to go in directly. I know the way."

"Please ...... wait for a moment." The big brown-haired girl hesitated for a moment, posed a smile at Chen Xiaolian once again, turned her head and hurriedly walked down the steps.

The sound of high heels kicking soon disappeared at the end of the stairs.

"Please wait a moment, young Oriental handsome." The big blonde girl stayed in place to accompany Chen Xiaolian, twisting her body from time to time, with a pair of giant white rabbits wobbling around on her chest, forcing Chen Xiaolian to only incline his head.

After a short time, the big brown-haired girl hurriedly came up and smiled at Chen Xiaolian: "Please come in, the boss is already waiting for you."

Chen Xiaolian nodded and followed the brunette down the steps.

Not bad, this time you don't have to beat down a bunch of people.

Although he was friends with Phoenix, it wasn't really polite to beat up her minions before looking for her every time.

The second iron door opened, inside the powerful songs and dances suddenly blasted in Chen Xiaolian's ears. A few nearly naked dancers on the stage were writhing their soft, boneless bodies, and on the dance floor below, men and women were bouncing around like a group of demons.

"The boss is waiting for you in the back."

The big brown-haired girl led Chen Xiaolian behind a door, smiled at him, and again deliberately held up her breasts: "Is it true ...... there's no tip?"

Chen Xiaolian smiled and felt a ticket of one hundred dollars from his arms, crumpled into a ball and gently threw it over, pushed the door open and walked in.

But to his surprise, the door was not Phoenix.

The layout of the house had not changed, but the mahjong table had been removed. In the center, on a tai-shek chair, sat a man.

He was dressed in an elaborate tuxedo, his blond hair was covered with thick hairspray and combed back with a large back haircut, his features were handsome, and his face had distinct Slavic features.

"Hello for the first time."

The man did not stand up from his chair, but only nodded politely to Chen Xiaolian.

"Where's Phoenix?" Chen Xiaolian frowned and looked around the room.

He came to her door on purpose, but instead of showing up, he only sent a man to meet him.

This frame, become big ah.

"Before you want to see her, shouldn't you give your name first?" The tuxedoed man lit a cigar and took a puff of smoke: "Manners are very important in this country, Oriental."

"You probably don't understand much, when I came to see her last time, I broke a few ribs of his men because I was stopped." Chen Xiaolian gave a soft hum.

Although he was Phoenix's subordinate, the tone of his voice made Chen Xiaolian dislike it.

Anyway, once is dry, twice is dry, even if he broke a few more ribs of this guy in front of him, Phoenix would not mind much, I think.

"Breaking the ribs of her commoner minions? Is this kind of thing worth bragging about?" The tuxedoed man stared at Chen Xiaolian and smiled, "Don't think too highly of yourself in front of me."

Chen Xiaolian's countenance sank.

From the tone of this tuxedo man's speech it looked like ......

This guy is also an Awakened One and doesn't seem to be one of Phoenix's minions!
