Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

The sound of incessant shelling sounded far away.

"Listen-"

"I hear the shelling coming from the distant mountains outside the city, but I don't know if it's ours or the enemy's."

The earth shook slightly.

Huge amounts of smoke and dust soared into the air, and the sound of buildings collapsing could be faintly heard, mixed with noisy human voices of various decibels.

Immediately afterwards, ear-piercing sirens sounded steeply.

"Alright - it seems to be an enemy attack, and you're going to continue to work on the car here?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"Of course, I'm not as skilled as you are, I have to fix all the cars here." Liao Xingdao.

"-I never knew you were so dedicated."

Gu Qingshan hugged his arms and made fun of him.

Liao Xing's curses rang out, "Damn it, what time is it, can't you be more serious? You know that your life and even the safety of billions of worlds are tied to me at the moment."

"Alright." Gu Qingshan closed his mouth.

Opposite him was a line of military transport trucks.

This was the open space outside the bomb shelter.

Liao Xing was drilling underneath one of the trucks, painstakingly doing maintenance work.

It took a while.

Liao Xing got out from under the truck, sweating profusely, "Look, I fixed another one, I'm a good hand."

Gu Qingshan said meaningfully, "Military trucks, soldiers, bomb shelters, and still hiring drivers, so you are aware of something, is that so?"

"In addition to that, the fact that these people were able to get so much equipment in wartime, and that they just saw ancient machine guns and even a cannon, speaks volumes." Liao Xing Dao.

He closed his eyes and mouthed the words.

Gu Qingshan listened and sensed that he was practicing the Qi Refining Layer 1 recipe.

In order to survive in this world, Liao Xing had also fought hard.

Gu Qingshan sighed lightly.

Although he couldn't enter this world-.

But some things can actually be done.

He thought and disappeared in a flash of light.

City Center.

Gu Qingshan showed up at the side of the street.

He gazed at the surrounding buildings and the vehicles that were powered by gasoline and diesel, and couldn't help but ponder.

Due to the rules of the Ritual Art, this would be a relatively fair battle.

Liao Xing was an ordinary person.

What he was facing was an extremely dangerous situation for an ordinary person.

And in order to prevent the world from suddenly becoming more difficult, he had only slightly taught a layer of the Qi Refining Stage's recipe.

In a realistic sense, the Qi Refining Stage was not considered a cultivation at all, it could only be considered the level of a martial artist in the mundane world.

-- It didn't break Liao Xing's upper limit as a mortal, but it could truly help him.

In that case ......

In a war, Liao Xing's chances of surviving would be much greater.

Gu Qingshan was thinking to himself and suddenly raised his head.

There was a loud noise from the sky, and only a large transport plane flew by, releasing a parachute.

Ta-da-da-da-da!

Around the city, the sound of anti-aircraft artillery rang out.

Those parachutes were falling, but a few still landed safely in the city.

--Paratroopers?

Gu Qingshan gently flew over and soon arrived at a landing spot.

Only a black rectangular box was strapped to the lower end of the parachute, and it was now safely on the ground.

Boom!

The box was pushed open.

A person climbed out of the box.

Gu Qingshan looked slightly frozen.

I saw that person running on hands and knees like a wild beast, running straight into the crowd, hugging a fat man and starting to gnaw on him.

The crowd scattered.

After gnawing for a while, the man seemed to be distracted by a scream, dropped the fat man for a moment, ran towards a woman at the end of the street, and then pounced on her-.

The screaming stopped abruptly.

Gu Qingshan quietly looked at it, and then turned his head, looking at the person who had just been bitten.

He saw the fat man lying on the ground, his body twitching violently nonstop, and suddenly turned over and crawled on the ground.

His pupils disappeared, his teeth became sharp, and his body slimmed down.

"Eat ...... eat ......"

The fat man hissed and raced toward a dingy mall.

One, two, three.

Three seconds.

After being bitten, it only took three seconds to completely transform into a man-eating ghost, a terrifying speed.

Gu Qingshan turned his gaze again and stared at those people hiding in the cafes on both sides of the street.

Only those people were still maintaining their human consciousness.

--It didn't seem to be airborne.

Judging from the fact that it was attracted to the screams, perhaps the sound was an important factor in getting its attention.

With the attack power and speed of the man-eating ghosts, I'm afraid this city ...... is already doomed to fall, and sooner or later it will turn into a scene of hell on earth.

--Depends on whether or not Liao Xing can survive.

Gu Qingshan quietly disappeared from his spot.

......

Time passed slowly.

The sound of scattered footsteps was approaching.

Liao Xing opened his eyes and stood up from the ground, but it was several soldiers who came.

"How's the repair going?" The lead soldier asked.

"It's all good." Liao Xingdao.

"All good?" The military man sounded a little surprised.

He got into a truck himself and blasted the throttle-.

"Awesome, this car had a malfunction in my hands in the first place, and you were able to fix it in such a short time, what a teacher."

The soldier gave a thumbs up at Liao Xing.

Liao Xing didn't seem to be good with words, he just smiled clumsily and nodded at the other man.

A look of being honest.

--which instead made the other party feel much better.

"We desperately need someone like you - what else can you fix, by the way?" The soldier asked.

Liao Xingdao: "As long as it's a truck, I can fix it-"

At this time, Gu Qingshan quietly manifested himself.

He immediately said, "Large, complex machinery is especially good at."

Liao Xing immediately said, "Ah, that's right, I'm especially good at large and complex machinery."

Large machinery?

The soldier thought about it and said, "Follow me."

He led Liao Xing towards the air-raid shelter.

As Liao Xing walked, he quietly asked, "Why did you say large machines?"

Gu Qingshan explained, "More pressing than the driver is the maintenance staff, and that's why you were hired."

"Right."

"Since there's an urgent need for maintenance personnel here, I'm guessing there are other things to be fixed - you see that there are only trucks in the clearing outside the shelter, so the other things to be fixed should be inside the shelter."

"So you're aiming to get me into the shelter?"

"At least get into it first."

"For fuck's sake, I'm claustrophobic - why would I want to go into that damn shelter? It's eerie inside, I simply can't stay in this sealed environment much longer." Liao Xing cursed quietly.

"Man-eating ghosts are infecting the city everywhere, it won't be long before the entire city is finished, I guess the shelter can keep you alive in this situation." Gu Qingshan said.

"Also right ...... I like bomb shelters." Liao Xing Dao.

They quickened their pace and crossed the empty and deep passageway to enter a large warehouse.

"Look at this."

The officers waved at their men.

Two of the men stepped forward and unwrapped a thick layer of windbreaker to reveal the big guy inside.

"Is this a ...... tank?" Liao Xing couldn't help but say.

The soldier explained, "The engineers who are in charge of repairing military equipment have gone to the front lines - we, the close guards, are here to house the families of the senior officers, but there is a real lack of firepower here, only this malfunctioning tank, and if you can fix it, we'll all be safer. "

Liao Xing looked at the tank with quite a bit of hesitation in his heart-!

"Let's fix it together." Gu Qingshan spoke out.

"Fix it together? My specialty is space relocation, and in terms of sabotage I only engage in bombs - what's your area of expertise?" Liao Xing quietly asked.

Gu Qingshan gave a slight pause.

Also.

At this moment, Liao Xing had just returned from outer space and had yet to further learn the various types of technical knowledge.

He had even just begun his cultivation.

Gu Qingshan said, "I specialize in single combat system design, electronic information-based devices, artificial intelligence, and mobile battle armor."

"Do you have any powerful papers?" Liao Xing asked as he walked away.

"No." Gu Qingshan Dao.

"Not even a thesis? You're not an academic liar, are you." Liao Xing hesitated.

"Academically I'm not so much of a liar." Gu Qingshan said.

"Then do you have anything to prove your skills and academics?"

"I have Gu Suan."

"...... line, I like you combatants the best."

Liao Xing turned around and smiled at the soldiers with a silly smile, "I can try - even if I can't fix it, it won't be worse, don't you think?"

"Okay, you try, it doesn't matter if you can't fix it." The soldier said.

He started up the tank, then jumped down and hurriedly left with his men, leaving only a young soldier watching.

Liao Xing looked towards the soldier and saw that he was slim, with a scrutinizing look on his face.

--It was an overseer.

Gu Qingshan floated into the tank to take a look, then flew out again and whispered, "Branch this man out."

Liao Xing understood in a heartbeat.

At that moment, Gu Qingshan seemed to notice something and suddenly disappeared from the spot.

He reappeared a breath later.

"The man-eating ghosts are almost near the shelter, but the shelter door is still open, so I guess they won't be able to close the first door in time." Gu Qingshan Dao.

--The warehouse where the tanks were kept was very close to the first door.

As long as the man-eating ghosts attacked in, they were bound to reach this warehouse first.

"We can't get out of this now." Liao Xing gritted his teeth.

Gu Qingshan said, "Right, and the second gate is very far away from you, even if you can run through, there are strict guards there, and only officers and some family members can enter."

The two of them paused and looked at the tank in unison.

"Time is running out." Gu Qingshan spoke out.

"Hey, do you have a cigarette, get a cigarette." Liao Xing cleared his throat and got close to the soldier.

"Fireworks are strictly prohibited here!" The soldier glared at him.

Liao Xing begrudgingly stroked his stomach with his hand and said with a sad face, "Little brother, I've been hungry all day, at least you can get me something to eat before you fix this big guy."

It was true, he had been fixing the truck for hours on end.

The soldier was a little hesitant.

Liao Xing added, "My family is waiting for me to find a job and get paid, and now that I've found a job with great difficulty, I end up starving myself, alas, you have mercy, little brother."

With that, he felt in his pocket for his newly issued pay and drew out a ticket and handed it to the other man.

The soldier was impressed.

"It's past dinner time, and there's nothing hot to be had now." The soldier took the money and said.

"You can sneak me some food, anything." Liao Xing slipped the other a ticket again.

"This tank-"

"I'm just a mechanic, how dare I drive a tank and you won't shoot me?"

"And yes, you can fix it when I get back."

"Good."

The soldier went.

Liao Xing casually took a cigarette and lit it.

"It just came from his pocket in passing - do you smoke it? Oh, I forgot, you're in ghost state now." He headed towards Gu Qingshan.

Gu Qingshan Dao: "Cut the trash talk, we need to fix this thing fast and drive it to the second door, otherwise this will be the last cigarette of your life."

Liao Xing Dao: "That's right, as scientists, now is the time for us to save the world - word is I can't fix the tank at all."

"I won't either." Gu Qingshan Dao.

Liao Xing was so quiet that he couldn't help but shout, "Hell! You don't? Won't still let me take the job?"

"The tank is quite sturdy and can stop man-eating ghosts, and besides, maybe if I take a look more, I'll get it." Gu Qingshan shrugged his shoulders.

Liao Xing glared at him.

"As scientists, we have to be realistic, it won't be reality, so wouldn't it be nice to learn it?" Gu Qingshan's face did not change.

Liao Xing slumped, "I heard from the Goddess of Justice that you have saved countless worlds - all in this manner?"

"Or what?" Gu Qingshan wondered.

"...... Well, since the survival of the world is so random ...... then I can't be blamed if everyone is finished."

Liao Xing threw his cigarette on the ground to stomp it out and strode towards the tank.
