The sound of cannon fire could be heard from afar.
"Listen — –"
"I heard it, it's coming from the mountains outside the city, but I don't know if it's ours or the enemy's"
The ground trembled.
A large cloud of dust rose to the sky, you could faintly hear the sound of buildings collapsing, mixed with the noise of people talking at various decibels.
Right after that, an ear-piercing siren sounded.
"Alright then — — seems like it's an enemy attack, do you still want to stay here and fix the vehicles?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Of course, I'm not as skilled as you are, so I have to stay here and fix the vehicles" Liao Xing replied.
"— — I never knew you were so dedicated to your work"
Gu Qing Shan crossed her arms and teased him.
Liao Xing cursed: "Damn it, can't you be a bit more serious at a time like this? You know, your life, as well as the safety of billions of worlds, are all on my shoulders right now "
"Fine" Gu Qing Shan went quiet.
In front of him was a line of military trucks.
This was the empty space outside the bomb shelter.
Liao Xing was hiding underneath one of the trucks, painstakingly doing some maintenance work.
A while later.
Liao Xing crawled out from underneath the truck, sweating profusely: "Look, I fixed another one, I'm really good at this"
Gu Qing Shan spoke in a meaningful tone: "Military vehicles, soldiers, bomb shelter, they're still hiring drivers, so you've noticed something, right?"
"Aside from that, the fact that these people were able to get so much equipment during wartime, I even saw an ancient machine gun just now, and even a cannon, that's enough to tell you something" Liao Xing replied.
He closed his eyes and muttered something.
Listening to him, Gu Qing Shan noticed that he was practicing Qi Training stage 1.
To survive in this world, Liao Xing was doing everything he could.
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
Although I can't enter this world — — -
But there are a few things I can do.
After a bit of thought, he disappeared without a trace.
The center of the city.
Gu Qing Shan appeared on the side of the street.
He stared at the buildings around him, then at the vehicles powered by gasoline and diesel and fell into thought.
Due to the rules of the sacrificial ritual, this should be a relatively fair battle.
Liao Xing was a normal person.
What he was facing was an extremely dangerous situation for ordinary people.
In order to prevent the world's difficulty from suddenly increasing, he only taught her the first level of the Qi Condensation stage.
From a practical point of view, the first layer of Qi Training could not be considered as cultivation. It could only be regarded as the standard of a martial artist in the mortal world.
— — It didn't break through 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 survival would be higher.
As Gu Qing Shan was thinking, she suddenly raised her head.
A loud noise came from the sky, and a large transport plane flew past, releasing several parachutes.
Da da da da da da!
Around the city, the sound of anti-aircraft cannons rang out.
Those parachutes fell one after another, but there were still a few that landed safely in the city.
— Paratroopers?
Gu Qing Shan lightly flew over and soon arrived at a landing spot.
There was a black rectangular box tied to the bottom of the parachute, and it had landed safely.
Bang!
The box was pushed open.
A man climbed out of the box.
Gu Qing Shan's expression froze.
The man used both his hands and feet to run like a wild beast, ran straight into a group of people, grabbed a fat man, and began to chew on him.
The crowd scattered.
After chewing for a while, the man seemed to have been attracted by a scream, put the fat man down, ran towards a woman at the end of the street, and leapt at her — — -
The scream was abruptly stopped.
Gu Qing Shan silently glanced at it, then turned around to look at the man who was just bitten.
The fat man was lying on the ground, his body twitching non-stop, then abruptly turned around and crawled on the ground.
His pupils disappeared, his teeth became sharp, and his body became thinner.
"Eat … eat …"
The fat man screamed as he ran towards a noisy shopping mall.
1, 2, 3.
3 seconds.
After being bitten, it only took 3 seconds for someone to turn into a Man Eater Fiend. This speed was truly terrifying.
Gu Qing Shan's gaze turned around to look at the people hiding in the cafes on both sides of the street.
He saw that those people still retained their human consciousness.
— — seems like it wasn't transmitted through the air.
From how it was attracted by the scream, perhaps the sound was an important factor in attracting its attention.
With a Man Eater Fiend's attack and speed, this city … is already destined to fall, turning into a scene of hell on earth.
— — -let's see if Liao Xing can survive or not.
Gu Qing Shan silently disappeared.
…
Time slowly passed.
The sound of footsteps slowly approached.
Liao Xing opened his eyes and stood up, only to see that it was a group of soldiers.
"How's the repair?" the leading soldier asked.
"It's done" Liao Xing replied.
"It's done?" the soldier's voice sounded a bit surprised.
He personally got on a truck and stepped on the gas — — -
"How impressive, this truck broke down in my hands, yet you were able to fix it in such a short amount of time, truly an expert"
The soldier gave Liao Xing a thumbs up.
Liao Xing didn't seem to be good with words, so he only awkwardly smiled and nodded at him.
He had an honest look on his face.
— — -this actually made the soldier's impression of him even better.
"We're in urgent need of people like you — — right, what else can you repair?" the soldier asked.
Liao Xing: "As long as it's a truck, I can repair it — — -"
At this point, Gu Qing Shan silently appeared.
He immediately said: "I'm especially good at large, complicated machinery"
Liao Xing immediately said: "Ah, right, I'm especially good at large, complicated machinery"
Large machinery?
The soldier thought for a bit and said: "Come with me"
He brought Liao Xing towards the air-raid shelter.
While walking, Liao Xing asked in a low voice: "Why do you have to say large machinery?"
Gu Qing Shan explained: "Compared to the driver, there's a need for maintenance personnel, that's why you were hired"
"Yes"
"If this place is in urgent need of maintenance personnel, I'm guessing that there are other things that need to be repaired — — you can see that there's only a truck outside the shelter, so the other things that need to be repaired should be inside the shelter"
"So your goal is to get me into the shelter?"
"I need to at least get inside first"
"What the hell, I have claustrophobia — — why do I have to go into that damned shelter? It's so dark inside, I can't stay in that kind of sealed environment for too long "Liao Xing cursed in a low voice.
"The Man Eater Fiends are currently infecting the entire city, it won't be long before the entire city is done for, I'm guessing that the shelter will be the best place for you to survive" Gu Qing Shan said.
"That's true … I like the shelter" Liao Xing agreed.
They quickened their steps, passed through the empty and dark tunnel, and entered a large warehouse.
"Look at this"
The soldier waved his hand to his subordinates.
Two of them came forward and unwrapped a thick layer of cloth to reveal a large thing inside.
"This is … a tank?" Liao Xing couldn't help but ask.
The soldier explained, "The engineers responsible for the maintenance of the military equipment have all gone to the frontline. We, the guards, are here to take care of the families of the high-ranking officers. But there is a lack of firepower here, only this broken tank. If you can fix it, the safety of all of us will be more guaranteed."
Liao Xing looked at the tank, a bit hesitant — —
"Let's fix it together" Gu Qing Shan spoke up.
"Fix it together? My specialty is spatial warp, when it comes to destruction, I only know how to make bombs — — what's your area of expertise? "Liao Xing silently asked.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
That's true.
At this point, Liao Xing had just returned from outer space, so he still hasn't learned any technical knowledge yet.
He hasn't even started his training yet.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I'm an expert in single-soldier combat system design, electronic IT equipment, AI, and Mobile Mechs"
"Do you have any impressive theses?" Liao Xing asked as he walked.
"None" Gu Qing Shan answered.
"Not even a thesis? You're not an academic scammer, are you? "Liao Xing hesitantly asked.
"I'm not an academic scammer" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Then do you have anything that can prove your technical and academic expertise?"
"I have Gu Suan"
"… Alright, I like practical people like you"
Liao Xing turned around and smiled at the soldier: "I can try — — even if I can't fix it, it won't get worse, what do you think?"
"Alright, you can try, it doesn't matter if you can't fix it" the soldier said.
He activated the tank, jumped down and quickly left with his men, leaving only a young soldier to watch.
Liao Xing looked at the soldier, only to see that he was a thin man with a scrutinizing expression on his face.
— — -a supervisor.
Gu Qing Shan floated into the tank to take a look, then flew back out and whispered: "Send this person away"
Liao Xing understood.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan seemed to have noticed something and disappeared.
A breath's worth of time later, he reappeared.
"The Man Eater Fiends are about to reach the bunker, but the door is still open, I'm guessing they didn't have time to close the first door" Gu Qing Shan commented.
— — the warehouse where the tank was kept is very close to the first door.
As soon as the Man Eater Fiends attack, they'll definitely reach this warehouse first.
"We can't get away right now" Liao Xing gritted his teeth.
Gu Qing Shan added: "That's right, and the second door is very far away from you, even if you can run there, it'll be heavily guarded, only military officers and a few family members can enter"
The two of them stopped and looked at the tank at the same time.
"We don't have much time" Gu Qing Shan spoke up.
"Hey, do you have a cigarette? Give me one" Liao Xing cleared his throat and tried to get closer to the soldier.
"Fireworks are strictly prohibited here!" the soldier glared at him.
Liao Xing was annoyed, so he rubbed his stomach and spoke with a troubled expression: "Bro, I've been starving for an entire day, at least make me something to eat before I start fixing this thing"
That's true, he's already been working on the truck for a few hours straight.
The soldier was a bit hesitant.
Liao Xing continued: "My entire family is waiting for me to find a job and get paid, now that I've finally found one, I'm starving, hah, bro, do me a favor"
Saying so, he took out the money he just received from his pocket and gave it to the soldier.
The soldier was moved.
"It's already past lunchtime, there's nothing hot right now" the soldier took the money and said.
"Just secretly make me something to eat, anything will do" Liao Xing gave the soldier another bill.
"This tank — –"
"I'm just a mechanic, do you think I'd dare to drive a tank? Aren't you going to shoot me?"
"That's true, just wait for me to come back"
"Got it"
The soldier left.
Liao Xing took out a cigarette and lit it.
"I just took it from his pocket — – are you going to smoke? Ah, I forgot, you're currently in ghost form "he told Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan said: "Don't talk nonsense, we need to hurry up and fix this thing so we can drive it to the second door, otherwise this will be the last cigarette you'll ever have in your life"
Liao Xing: "You're right, as scientists, this is our time to save the world — – I don't know how to fix a tank at all"
"I don't either" Gu Qing Shan said.
Liao Xing went silent, then couldn't help but shout: "What the hell! You don't know how to do it? You're not going to make me do this again? "
"A tank is very sturdy, it can stop the Man Eater Fiends, not to mention there's a lot of them, I'll be able to do it soon enough" Gu Qing Shan shrugged.
Liao Xing stared at him.
"As scientists, we have to be realistic, even if it's not reality, wouldn't it be easy to learn it?" Gu Qing Shan said without changing her expression.
Liao Xing dejectedly said: "I heard from Impartial Goddess that you've saved countless worlds — — -did you use this method to save them all?"
"What else?" Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
"… Fine, if the world's existence is so random … then if everyone dies, it's not my fault"
Liao Xing threw the cigarette on the ground and stepped on it, quickly walking towards the tank.
