On the mansion's balcony.
The four of them were focused on killing the monsters.
Gu Qing Shan hadn't done anything yet.
He was calmly observing the situation.
In truth, these monsters were nothing more than slow-moving undead.
— — -from the looks of it, they were the failed products of Corpse Refining Sect's Odd Job disciples.
How could such monsters cause the world to fall into Apocalypse?
While observing, Gu Qing Shan was seriously contemplating.
He suddenly noticed that there was a new addition to the hordes of living dead.
It was a 3-meter-tall giant, its muscles were constantly twitching, completely unmoved by the bullets.
— — -evolved.
"Rocket launcher!" old Li shouted.
The blond man picked up a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher from the ground, aimed at the monster, and fired.
The rocket left a long trail of smoke as it flew, quickly hitting the monster.
Boom — — -
Flesh and blood splattered everywhere!
But the other undead didn't seem to be affected and continued to head towards the mansion.
Gu Qing Shan noticed that more and more figures were appearing from further away.
"There are too many of them"
The black man growled in annoyance.
The others didn't say anything.
The horde of undead was still heading towards the mansion, seemingly endless.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan put away his equipment, stood up, and patted old Li's shoulder.
"Hey"
"What are you doing?" old Li couldn't help but ask.
"There are fewer monsters on your side, I'm going down from your side to see what's going on" Gu Qing Shan loudly said.
"See what's going on, they're all monsters, you'll die if you go down!" old Li shouted.
The sound of the machine gun was so loud that they couldn't help but speak loudly.
Old Li picked up his gun and killed another monster.
"I'm a scientist, I want to study their body composition" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Didn't you study Engineering?"
"To be more precise, Mechs — — - Mechs have a branch of human bionics, we're used to using this method to understand our enemies"
Old Li understood what he meant.
"What's the point of understanding them, they're monsters!" he doubtfully said.
"You need to believe in science" Gu Qing Shan patted old Li's gun.
Old Li thought about it and agreed. If they didn't have guns, they would have been dead long ago.
Moreover, this scientist was very powerful. Almost everything related to machinery had been fixed by him.
"… I might not be able to protect you," Old Li said.
"It doesn't matter. I won't go far. Besides, I can protect myself."
Gu Qing Shan patted the longbow in her hand.
With that, he walked down the attic and quickly exited the villa, appearing in the open space outside the house.
The other three quickly sensed his presence.
"Why did the scientist go down?"
The blonde man picked up a grenade from the ground and threw it far away.
Bang –
Old Li covered his ears and waited for the violent explosion to pass before saying, "He said he wanted to study the monster."
"A mad scientist" the woman said.
The few of them looked down.
Gu Qing Shan had already crouched down in front of a corpse.
The corpse had been shot several times, but it was still not completely dead. Sensing the arrival of a living person, it struggled to raise its head and was about to bite him.
"Don't move."
Gu Qing Shan stabbed the bayonet into the corpse's eye socket, pinning its head to the ground.
The corpse struggled for a bit, then stopped moving.
It was now that Gu Qing Shan turned on the flashlight strapped to his shoulder, took out a dagger, and began to dissect the corpse.
His movements were quick, effective, clean, and without hesitation.
"Let's take a look at the internal organs first"
"No heartbeat"
"The blood has turned black, most likely caused by infection"
"Most of the internal organs have withered, but the stomach has grown larger"
"You've clearly lost all the normal bodily functions of a human, where did your strength come from?"
"… Hm, there's something inside the stomach. Let me take a look, it seems to be human tissue"
"Feeding on humans to provide energy for its movements"
"The eyes have mutated, no longer have pupils, but they can still accurately see me"
"The teeth are even sharper, like those of a wild beast"
"The nose is completely dead, the ears have undergone a morphological mutation similar to evolution"
Gu Qing Shan spent a bit of effort to dig out the corpse's ears.
He carefully looked at it — — like he was looking at a work of art.
"Not bad, this is indeed a slight form of evolution, a miracle of life"
Saying so, he stood up and walked towards the next corpse not too far away.
"Wait a minute!" old Li called out from upstairs.
"What is it?"
"You've already finished your research, why aren't you back yet?"
"A single specimen isn't enough, I'll need to study a few more to come to a conclusion"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan crouched down in front of another corpse.
He began to seriously dissect the corpse.
This was all seen by the four people on the second floor.
"What a madman" the woman once again expressed her opinion.
"No, this is what a scientist should be like" the blond man showed an appreciative expression, "Those who don't know anything like to brag and talk about other people's opinions, while a truly capable scientist would personally analyze and research the problem"
"Look, he's about to dissect the third corpse" the black man said.
"Pay attention to his safety, I think he'll definitely be able to help us a lot" the blond man said.
"Alright, I'll protect him" old Li said.
…
Gu Qing Shan returned to the attic.
He seemed a bit tired, but his eyes showed a sense of excitement.
"Did you find anything?" the blond man asked.
"Hm, we can basically confirm that they rely on sound and sight to find their prey. Sound is the main factor, but their vision isn't that great, they can only distinguish things within a few meters in front of them. Beyond 5 meters, they can only distinguish between light and darkness. Furthermore, when it comes to evolution, as long as they have enough food, their body's mutation speed will increase" Gu Qing Shan explained.
The few of them were completely stunned by what they heard.
This scientist really does have some skill.
"What do you suggest?" old Li asked.
"I suggest that you don't shoot anymore" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Don't shoot anymore? Isn't that the same as waiting to die? "
"That's not the case"
Gu Qing Shan tied a grenade to the arrow, pulled off the ring of the grenade and quickly pulled the bowstring.
He let go.
The arrow turned into a blurred image and flew away with the grenade.
This shot was fired with 100% of his power. The arrow flew through the crowd of zombies and landed on the road.
Boom!
The grenade exploded.
All of the undead froze in unison.
Almost half of them turned around and headed towards the direction where the grenade exploded.
Only the living dead that were too close to the mansion hesitated a bit before continuing to head towards the mansion.
"What's going on?" old Li was confused.
"Sound, those monsters were attracted by the sound of guns, that's why they gathered here from afar. You'll have to give up on using guns because the noise they make is too loud" Gu Qing Shan patiently explained.
"Then how do we kill those monsters?" the woman was confused.
Gu Qing Shan pulled the bowstring again.
In the darkness of the night, an arrow silently flew out and took out a living dead's head.
"They're slow, only when they get close to their prey will they suddenly use their power to accelerate, so as long as they're far away, we can use cold weapons to kill them" Gu Qing Shan explained.
"So that's how it is, but you said that they can see us" the blond man said.
"They're both super nearsighted, so that's easier to deal with than sound, we only need to turn on the lights of the other buildings and turn off the lights of our mansion" Gu Qing Shan explained.
"While we — — -"
Gu Qing Shan gave him a pair of infrared night vision goggles.
The blond man froze again.
Why didn't I think of such a simple principle?
"That's right, we can use night vision goggles" he muttered.
The others also nodded.
The blond man received the goggles and said to the others: "Do as the scientists said, move!"
They quickly took out their military crossbows, turned off the mansion's lights, and began to quickly and densely shoot the living dead outside the mansion.
Halfway through, Gu Qing Shan strapped another grenade to her bow and shot it towards the road.
Another group of living dead left.
Everyone's pressure was greatly reduced.
What was originally a battle of life and death had slowly turned into a shooting game.
They even had time to eat a midnight snack.
"How did you find out about this?" the black man couldn't help but ask.
"Perhaps you haven't heard of the Bio-Mech — — - in truth, basic information about the human body has long since been discovered by us researchers" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"I really regret not studying properly back then" old Li sighed.
"Studying properly isn't enough, your IQ is low" old Li didn't even look up as he ate and casually replied.
The black man scowled.
"This field of science is very advanced, there's no reference, you have to slowly explore it bit by bit, you have to be passionate about it, otherwise you're forced to learn it by survival" Gu Qing Shan tried to smooth things over.
"That's why you love dissection?" the woman asked without a trace.
Seeing how calm and passionate he was when he studied the corpses, she was a bit scared.
"Dissection?" Gu Qing Shan smiled, "That's the foundation of another art"
"What art?"
"Cooking"
…
They were competing in archery on the open balcony to see who could kill the few living dead below.
Under Gu Qing Shan's request, they were split into two groups, taking turns to sleep and rest.
Finally.
Dawn.
Gu Qing Shan stood on the balcony, taking the last watch.
When the sun appeared on the horizon, lines of blood-red text suddenly appeared in the void in front of him.
[The Earth World's will has noticed your actions]
[It is about to come and communicate with you]
[Before that, the Demon King Order has an urgent warning for you:]
[Do not provoke it, it is a world-class lifeform from the Eternal Abyss]
[It is more powerful than any power you know!]
Suddenly, the blood-red text seemed to have noticed something and completely retracted itself.
Oom — —
Gu Qing Shan's vision blurred. The mansion, the road, the town, the living dead, the sky, everything disappeared in front of his eyes.
A boundless grey torrent surrounded him.
He didn't know what this grey torrent was, but it gave Gu Qing Shan a sense of unimaginable majesty.
If a normal person was standing here, they would think that they've met the Creator.
— — -from a certain point of view, world-class lifeforms were Creators themselves.
The grey torrent slowly converged in front of Gu Qing Shan and manifested into a giant human head.
It looked down at Gu Qing Shan and spoke in a slow, drawn-out voice:
「 Cultivator, why have you come to my world? 」
Gu Qing Shan regained his composure and replied: "I came to face my Tribulation"
