Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1586: Apocalypse blockade

The cold wind howled furiously.

Snow filled the sky.

The ground was covered in a layer of frost, completely devoid of any signs of life.

The river had become completely frozen, which further emphasized its existence on top of the vast snow-covered wasteland like a slumbering black serpent.

Gu Qing Shan’s group followed the river and rapidly moved within the snow.

The Bottle Caster Hei Suo was standing at the very front of the group and asked: “We’ve been travelling for five hours straight, when will we stop to reorganize ourselves again?”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “We won’t, we’re going to continue heading Northward until we reach the destination”

He glanced at the War God UI.

After he called the rooster, his Soul Points had reached zero, but fortunately, they encountered a few more Apocalyptic monsters on the way and he earned another 60,000 Soul Points.

It was all thanks to these Professionists.

They understood each and every Apocalyptic monster too well, which allowed them to rapidly decide on a tactic and finish combat in no time at all, which made it extremely time-efficient.

“Sir, are you in a hurry for something?” Ramata asked.

“Yes, we might need to rescue someone” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Ramata nodded, then took out a fiery red voodoo doll and whispered: “Aura of Flames!”

Six bursts of flames manifested from the voodoo doll and were imbued into their bodies.

Instantly, a warm aura enveloped the group to neutralize the chill from the snowy wind.

Everyone felt a bit relieved and continued moving forward.

“Why does it get colder the more we move towards the North?” Gu Qing Shan curiously asked.

Safaya replied: “Nobody knows”

“Has no one ever tried to investigate?” Gu Qing Shan appeared surprised.

“The main issue was that the further one headed North, the more Apocalypses there would be. While they had been greatly weakened over the long years, their advantage of numbers remains the same. There would practically be one Apocalypse every few dozen meters until eventually there wasn’t any space to avoid them anymore, so no one had ever been able to reach the final point of the North” Hei Suo explained.

Gu Qing Shan understood.

Safaya then said: “Your grace, if you reach the furthest point in the North, you will witness a miraculous sight”

The Professionists exchanged glances and appeared to all understand what she meant.

“Tell me, don’t leave it hanging” Gu Qing Shan said.

Moon Song explained: “At the furthest point in the North numerous Apocalypses had fused together to form a wall”

“A wall?” Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

Hakuru replied: “Yes, a completely solid wall, no one knows just how thick it is, and there appears to be no means of investigating past it”

Ramata added: “There is nothing but an unending number of Apocalypses within the wall, frozen in place by some sort of power—– kind of like canned sardines, they’re in a completely sealed-off state, and I think they will eventually be opened”

“If that happens, the entire Space Vortex will fall into chaos once again, and numerous worlds will be destroyed” Safaya concluded.

Gu Qing Shan thought briefly and asked: “In other words, the Apocalypses we’ve seen earlier weren’t actually that powerful?”

Hakuru replied: “Yes, while the Apocalypses we’ve run into had destroyed a few worlds, they were already in their weakest states after numerous years of corrosion, otherwise, none of us would dare to venture in so deeply”

Everyone nodded sympathetically.

Another hour went by, the world was becoming increasingly more frigid, and now no traces of life could be found at all in or out of sight.

Hei Suo took out a small bottle from his back and threw it on the ground.

Crack!

The bottle broke open.

A mass of blue fog spread from their feet up to their heads, completely enveloping them in a blue glow.

Gu Qing Shan glanced at the War God UI to see a few lines of glowing text:

[You’ve been affected by the bottled technique: Pass Without Trace]

[You’ve temporarily entered a zone where no sound can be made]

—–this bottled technique seems to be a weakened version of a World Technique.

While Gu Qing Shan was silently thinking that, Hei Suo had begun to explain: “There is a unique Apocalypse up ahead of us. Within its area of influence, no one is allowed to make any sound while moving, otherwise, they would be transported away”

“Transported where?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“We’re unsure since this Apocalypse had existed for thousands of years, and everyone who had ever been transported away never returned” Moon Song replied.

Everyone stopped their advance.

They’d reached the end of the wasteland, the scenery ahead of them now was a valley area.

It appeared as a mundane valley without anything inside, only a few abandoned camps.

The Professionists all become solemn.

Hei Suo was still leading them and gave everyone a reminder: “It’s this valley——- everyone in mind, while we’re in the valley, do not leave the range of my technique, or don’t blame anyone when you die”

“It’ll be over after we cross the valley?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Yes, there’s a lake with a radius of a few hundred meters after we cross the valley. When we reach that, we’ll be safe temporarily” Hakuru explained.

“But there will be other Apocalypses after that” Safaya added.

Gu Qing Shan looked at all of them.

They’ve earned their livelihood here for countless years, so all of them are incredibly experienced.

—–I found the right people.

It was a good decision to recruit a group of people like this to move forward with me, otherwise, I’d have to waste a lot of time due to lack of knowledge, having to explore everything from scratch.

Gu Qing Shan nodded: “Let’s go, we need to seize our time”

“Forward” Hei Suo waved his hand.

With him leading them, the other five followed behind as they made their way through the valley.

Each of them was the leader of a mercenary corps, so they acted in a highly time-efficient manner, and with the bottled technique ensuring their safety, they silently crossed the valley without any issue.

They’d all made their way here several times, but they still sighed in relief after making it to safety.

Then continuing a bit further.

A large patch of grass by the side of a lake appeared in their visions.

Hei Suo dispelled his technique and walked to a nearby abandoned camp.

He casually picked up a charred wooden stick and smiled: “When I brought my subordinates here last time, we rested here for over half a day, this is the stick we used to control the flame while grilling meat”

Everyone also moved about.

The blow dart user Hakuru smiled and was about to say something in response, but swallowed his words back down.

Clonk—–

The charred wooden stick fell to the ground.

The Bottle Caster Hei Suo was nowhere to be seen.

He had vanished.

Some fluctuations began to subside in the void of space.

——this was spatial fluctuation, Hei Suo had just been transported away!

Everyone’s expression completely froze.

The relieved atmosphere earlier completely disappeared.

No one dared move a single muscle.

A few moments later.

Hei Suo still hadn’t reappeared.

Everyone exchanged glances and gradually realized what had happened.

Ramata gently took out a voodoo doll, placed it in the void of space and lightly tapped it.

The voodoo doll instantly came to life.

It looked around and saw the lake.

The voodoo doll instantly became happy and started flying towards the lake.

It crouched down and used its hands to pick up a small bit of water to drink.

“What refreshing water!” the voodoo doll praised.

A wave of warp fluctuations appeared and caused the voodoo doll to vanish without a trace.

Silence enveloped everyone again.

Their hearts slowly sank.

Moon Song sorrowfully shook her head, crouched down, then took out a few pieces of leaf and began drawing a few runes on them using her blood.

She made a total of five leaves and handed each of them to the others.

“Silent Leaves, they can make anyone naturally become one with nature and would not let any noise escape” Moon Song then sent her voice.

She started leading the group forward.

Everyone held their leaves tightly in their hands and followed her.

A few thousand meters later.

Ramata let out another voodoo doll.

The voodoo doll tried singing, but nothing happened at all.

Ramata then spoke: “We’ve gone out of the Apocalypse’s area of influence, but Hei Suo is dead”

Everyone fell silent.

“Hei Suo was a powerful guy, never did I think that he’d die to an Apocalypse” Hakuru sighed.

Gu Qing Shan solemnly asked: “Hei Suo was also an experienced person, so why did he let his guard down before we confirmed that we were out of danger?”

——if I had said anything earlier, the consequences would have been severe.

All of these people were supposed to be faultless, but something like that still occurred.

Moon Song explained: “For the last few thousand years, that Apocalypse had been shrinking and affecting an increasingly smaller area, that situation earlier has never occurred before”

Safaya added: “Yes, the lakeside was a known place of rest for all of us, every time we went this direction, we would always reorganize ourselves by the lakeside. You also saw how relaxed all of us were when we reached that place, your grace”

Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.

If they aren’t lying, then there’s only one way to explain this.

That Apocalypse had once again grown stronger.

Why was that the case?

“Look!” Ramata called out.

Everyone turned to the direction where she was pointing in.

The snowy wind had suddenly stopped.

Several meteors could be seen appearing far above the dark blue sky.

These meteors arranged themselves into formation before they silently fell to the ground.

Bang!

The first meteor had fallen down towards the far South to where they were, turning into a yellow screen of light.

Ramata hurriedly took out a voodoo doll and put it on her shoulder, saying: “Hurry, Tomahawk, help me see what those meteors are”

The voodoo doll cupped its hand to look at the meteors and replied: “That’s a spatial sealing power, which belongs to a kind of Apocalypse”

Following that, another meteor fell down, still towards the South.

Numerous similar meteors fell down one by one.

The ground was trembling from their impacts.

“——It’s the entrance of the Doomsday Necropolis! They’re sealing the entrance!”

Ramata loudly called out.

Everyone was shocked.

Gu Qing Shan instantly became focused and called out: “Everyone put your hands on my arm, now!”

The Professionists swiftly followed their order.

A mass of white fog appeared around Gu Qing Shan’s body and took them away without a trace.

The Dream Island.

A mass of white fog manifested.

The group of five emerged from within.

Gu Qing Shan quickly said: “The mission is done here, the situation after this isn’t something that you can deal with. Head to the mercenary guild and take your rewards, remember to give Hei Suo’s portion to his younger brother”

White fog swirled around his body once again.

“Your grace, are you thinking of going back in?” Safaya hurriedly asked.

Gu Qing Shan nodded: “While the seal is still unstable, I would be able to enter, but if I stall for any longer, there would be no way back in”

Safaya took out a piece of bone and handed it to him, explaining: “This is the exploration map of our Deadman mercenary corps, all known dangers so far has been marked out on it”

“Thank you”

Gu Qing Shan nodded to bid her farewell, then turned back into the fog and vanished without a trace.
