Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 847: Joining The Fight

Translator: La0o9 Editor: La0o9

The sofa was so comfortable that when Gu Qing Shan plopped himself on it, he didn’t want to move again.

A normal person’s stamina really is no good, I get tired so easily.

The two young girls brought him a plate of steaming hot food.

The blond man poured him a glass of liquor.

Everyone’s opinion of him had greatly changed.

Not only did he fix the toilet, Gu Qing Shan even fixed their lights and washing machine.

The black-skin brother then informed him that there seemed to be some issue with the truck’s engine, so Gu Qing Shan also dealt with the engine’s overheating problem.

If someone could fix so many appliances so quickly, there was no doubt that he was a real machinery expert.

So at this point, there were no longer any doubts about Gu Qing Shan’s identity.

“Eat, Mr. scientist, I can tell how exhausted you are. Rest after you’re done and take the night off, leave the outside to us” old Li told him.

“Will there be an attack?” Gu Qing Shan asked blankly.

“Maybe, those things have been constantly evolving. I saw one of them trying to walk around in daylight while driving on the highway a few days ago. It took 7-8 seconds before he was burnt to death” the blond man – Thomas – told him.

“They’re constantly evolving every day, who knows what the situation would be tonight” old Li sighed.

“It will be fine, our firepower is strong” the woman encouraged everyone.

“Alright, we’ll make the preparations for tonight. Mr. Scientist, you don’t have much to worry about, but we’ll be very tired after the night shift, so we’ll probably sleep until noon tomorrow, try not to wake us up in the morning” the black man told him.

“Got it”

Gu Qing Shan answered and didn’t ask any further.

From how sure these people were acting, there shouldn’t be any problems.

My body is currently that of a normal human, so I need to replenish my energy and rest well enough to recover myself.

He picked up the spoon and began to eat his share of food.

Canned food that had been reheated and instant curry rice.

As well as a glass of wine.

This was already quite a decent meal.

“Can I have a bit more wine?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Of course, since you need to sleep well tonight, a bit more wine would certainly help” old Li put the entire bottle on the table for him.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly realized something.

I’m now a normal person.

If I drink alcohol now, without spirit energy to disperse it, I’ll definitely become drunk.

That’s not a good idea.

He slowly put the glass back on the table and ate his food.

“Didn’t you say you wanted more wine?” old Li asked in confusion.

“I’m feeling a bit of a stomach ache, so that’s probably not a very good idea” Gu Qing Shan replied.

While he ate, the four people began to sort their gear.

Bulletproof vests, flashlights, guns and ammunition, walkie-talkies, infrared night goggles… they basically had everything they needed, prepared.

“This mansion is big so you can pick out any room for yourself. We put our names on our room’s door so it will be fine as long as you don’t pick any room that already has a name” the woman informed him.

“Alright, I got it” Gu Qing Shan replied.

At this point, everyone had finished gathering their things and headed for the top floor of the mansion.

“If you hear the monsters’ screams, don’t worry about it” old Li finally said that before he left.

Gu Qing Shan had a few thoughts and loudly asked: “When does the danger start?”

“At about 11” the woman answered.

They left.

Gu Qing Shan glanced at the clock on the wall.

It was currently ten minutes from 7:00 pm, still quite early.

The two young girls were still having their meals across from him.

“Leave the dishes, we’ll clean it up for you” one girl noticed his gaze and told him.

“Thank you”

Gu Qing Shan stood up and left.

He walked around the mansion.

This mansion was the biggest building in the town, apparently, its owner had already taken a plane to the capital before the calamity hit.

After all, that place was the center of the entire country, so there would surely be plenty of countermeasures and ways to survive.

But in the end, most people found that the safest place was actually the desert.

The fewer the people in a location they were in, the safer it was.

While walking across the hallway, Gu Qing Shan memorized the location of each room.

Even after making a full round, he didn’t find a suitable room.

The apocalypse…

He sighed, returned to the dining room and sat down in thought.

“You haven’t found a room yet?” one of the girls smiled at him.

“I haven’t,” Gu Qing Shan replied.

The other girl spoke: “Then, Gu Qing Shan, can you come with us to the basement to get something? We’re a bit scared by ourselves”

“What is there to be scared of? And what are we getting?” Gu Qing Shan smiled and asked.

“A few cooking ingredients, after their night shift, they would always come down looking for something to eat and replenish their stamina” the girl replied.

“Then let’s go” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Thank you”

Both girls appeared glad.

The three of them then moved to the living room. The two girls lifted the thick carpet off the floor, opened a locked hidden door beneath and headed downwards.

“To hide the basement under the floor of the living room, what extraordinary thinking” Gu Qing Shan praised.

“Yeah, the original owner of this place was a VIP, he had a lot of farms and crops, as well as a whole mountain of minerals” the girl explained to him.

“How did you discover this place?”

“The blond man was that VIP’s son”

“He didn’t leave for the capital with his father?”

“He felt that the situation in the capital was unclear, so instead of entrusting his life to the unknown, it was better to fortify what they already had to defend themselves and act according to the situation”

“A smart guy” Gu Qing Shan praised.

They went down to the basement.

This place was made very sturdy, with ample ventilation, a lot of weapons and ammunition as well as food, freshwater, and medicine, all stored underground.

There was also a small desk and a basic bed, most likely for the previous record keeper of this basement to use.

However, since this was still constructed underground, one couldn’t help but feel a bit chilly.

The two girls grabbed the cooking ingredients and wanted to leave right away.

But Gu Qing Shan was a bit hesitant.

“Let’s go, there’s nothing left to do here” one girl urged him.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly asked: “Are there any medicines that can make a person feel more spirited?”

“You mean stimulant drugs? There are some” one of the girls answered him.

She skillfully searched for a box of medicine and took out a disposable syringe, giving it to Gu Qing Shan.

When Gu Qing Shan received the syringe, a line of blood-red text appeared in front of his eyes.

[Military-use stim pack, 50mg]

[Usage method: intravenous injection]

[Side effect: 24 hours headache afterward]

[Description: Takes effect in 30 seconds with a duration of 10 minutes]

“Do the others use this?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Of course, everyone carries one with them” the girl answered.

Gu Qing Shan nodded: “You two can go up first, don’t lock the basement door since I’ll stay here to rest”

The two girls exchanged looks, then smiled knowingly.

“You want to sleep here?”

One of them asked.

The other tried to persuade him: “You don’t really have to be afraid you know, this is the desert, there aren’t any monster that the four of them can’t handle”

That’s incorrect.

During my initial observation, they were constantly complaining and bickering with one another.

These are the symptoms of feeling pressured, uneasy and impatient.

During the meal earlier, although they didn’t lash out at one another, they were clearly feeling heavy.

They weren’t as confident about tonight as they let on.

Gu Qing Shan simply smiled bitterly at the girls: “I’m not that brave, and I can’t sleep if I hear any noise so this place is the most suitable”

Seeing how insistent he was, the girls didn’t try to convince him otherwise.

They left the basement, closed the door without locking it, covered it back up with the carpet and went to the kitchen.

Gu Qing Shan went to the door of the basement, checked the door latches properly before going back down and laid on the bed.

As the wave of exhaustion hit him, Gu Qing Shan almost couldn’t keep his eyes open anymore.

But suddenly recalling something, he lifted himself out of the bed and slowly searched the trunks of weapons for something.

Automatic high-powered rifles, various pistols, grenades, bulletproof vests, combat clothes and boots, there was everything inside this trunk.

Bulletproof vests are good.

Since his cultivator clothes had no effects here, Gu Qing Shan undressed and changed into a suit of combat clothes with the bulletproof vest on the inside.

“A cold weapon, please”

He muttered as if he was praying and continued his search.

All the way until the final trunk in the room.

Various cold weapons were neatly lined up inside.

Whenever Gu Qing Shan touched one of them, an appropriate blood-red text would show up in front of his eyes.

[Dagger: Whale Hunter survival blade]

[Scimitar: Gurkha blade]

[Long weapon: Triangle blood thorn]

[Military Bow]

[Standard carbon fiber arrows]

Gu Qing Shan picked out a few of these cold weapons, neatly stashed them into his clothes, and clutched the military bow in his hand, finally feeling a bit safer.

At this point, a line of blood-red text appeared from the void of space:

[Attention please, all of your abilities cannot be used here, and your spirit energy cannot be unleashed]

“Thanks for the reminder” Gu Qing Shan replied, “I’m still more used to fighting with cold weapons than anything else, so it’s fine even without special abilities”

He then laid down on the bed.

After walking in the desert for half a day and repairing a bunch of things for the other half, Gu Qing Shan had finally reached his limit.

This was a feeling he had forgotten for many years that only showed up during exceedingly tough battles.

This was a sensation that only normal people felt, true and pure helplessness.

Gu Qing Shan understood clearly that his body needed deep rest in order to recover.

During this rest, he would completely lose the ability to defend himself and become vulnerable to outside danger.

Because of this, regardless of how others viewed him, he needed to find a secluded location as soon as he could.

He fell into a deep sleep.

The night slowly passed.

All of a sudden, loud noises of explosions and gunfire could be heard from the outside.

Gu Qing Shan abruptly opened his eyes.

He laid still on his bed and silently listened.

They were the sound of mechanical firearms, grenade explosions as well as loud shouting.

The battle had begun!

Gu Qing Shan got off the bed, donned a pair of combat boots and quickly left the basement.

He soon arrived at the top of the building.

The four people each took up a direction, raining bullets down below.

“Mr. Scientist! Why are you here? This place is too dangerous, quickly go back down!” old Li shouted in surprise.

“I’m here to fight” Gu Qing Shan replied.

The blond man threw a grenade down, took the opportunity when it still hasn’t exploded to shout at him: “You haven’t gone through any training, if something happens, later on, we won’t be able to protect you!”

“Won’t be a problem”

Saying so, Gu Qing Shan sat down in the middle of the four of them.

Seeing how determined and calm he was, the group didn’t know how to convince him.

He could’ve rested, but decided to come out and fight.

Why does such a person exist?

“Is his head already fried?” the woman muttered in a low voice.

Gu Qing Shan put the military bow down on his left, took out the syringe stim pack, fully pulled the injector back and placed it on the vein of the wrist of his right hand.

“My head is still fine. Since you helped me earlier, I’m just repaying the favor and help you now”

He calmly said.
