Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1190 - The third gamble!

Chapter 1190: The third gamble!

A large supermarket.

In complete shambles.

Other than Gu Qing Shan’s trio, there were only 7-8 corpses lying on the floor.

After taking a short look, the three of them stopped caring and turned their gaze towards the notification hovering in front of them.

[To ensure nothing goes awry, Chaos had spent a great deal of power to arrange your identities within this world’s timeline and fate]

[You are Professionists of this city who had only just awakened not too long ago]

[Normal people might not recognize you, but your data is being kept by the higher brass of humanity, they will not suspect you]

[Treasure your identities, work carefully]

The three of them exchanged glances after reading through everything.

“If [Chaos] spent this much energy and effort, this mission seems to be quite difficult” Zhang Ying Hao commented.

Ding!

Lines of grey text appeared again, displaying the following messages:

[The Era had Chaos hadn’t fully descended, but an innate Deity of Chaos had already been born, this is an unexpected turn of events]

[Due to how crucial this event is, the Era of Chaos cannot mobilize too much manpower or cause too much commotion, thus it can only be done covertly by your group of three]

[To avoid the unnecessary attention from other entities, your power level will be kept suppressed in your current states]

[Chaos is currently providing you power, please wait for 3 seconds]

[3]

[2]

[1]

[All of your supernatural abilities had been unsealed and can be used as you pleased]

[From this point, all of your personal artifacts had been bestowed ample power and can be used again]

Oong—

A sword appeared from the void of space, circling around Gu Qing Shan.

“Ah? Why did I suddenly wake up?” Luo Bing Li’s voice could be heard.

The Six Paths Great Mountain sword appeared from the void of space as well.

Shannu said with a jumpy tone: “How perfect, with you here, gongzi would feel a lot less pressure”

“What happened?” Luo Bing Li asked.

The two swords discussed among one another, then quickly vanished back into the void of space.

Zhang Ying Hao asked doubtfully: “Why are all of your sword spirits feminine?”

Oong! Oong!

The Earth sword and Chao Yin sword both appeared, circling once around Zhang Ying Hao’s neck in a threatening manner.

“Ah, I was wrong, so there were also two pure men among men! Heroes!” Zhang Ying Hao hurriedly corrected himself.

The two swords slowly returned and faded into the void of space.

Gu Qing Shan just chuckled and shook his head without saying anything.

Ye Fei Li commented: “[Chaos] put in such a huge deposit, seems like we really will have to go at this with everything we have”

“Right, even if only to survive, we would have to either way” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Zhang Ying Hao returned to his solemn appearance and started drawing Cards from the void of space, soon holding an entire hand full of Cards.

Ye Fei Li perked up his ears.

“The souls are all crying, the enemy seems to be very strong, we’re knee-deep in it this time” he said

“What are the enemies?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Ye Fei Li listed for a bit longer, then explained: “Apparently it’s some kind of world-destroying calamity, it can bestow intelligence and power to other living beings, the people of this world call it—— the Five Elements calamity”

“Five Elements calamity” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

Before he had time to think further, a line of grey text appeared in front of his eyes:

[Attention, challenger of Apotheotic Combat, Gu Qing Shan. You have saved many worlds and countless living beings, but this mission is one of secret, which will directly affect your survival, so your number one priority must be to find the unawakened Deity of Chaos, not to save this world]

Gu Qing Shan helplessly sighed.

He grabbed a bar of chocolate from the shelf, peeled it open, and said: “Ying Hao, let’s find our target”

Zhang Ying Hao placed the stack of Cards from his hand into his pocket and knocked on the ground.

The black cat jumped out again.

“Precious, this time we need to find someone” Zhang Ying Hao gently said.

The black cat twitched his body a bit, then hesitantly:

Meow meow meow meow meow—— meow! Meow meow! Meow meow meow!

(I want to eat instan——– no! Wait! This is a supermarket!)

He ran by himself towards a shelf, ripped open a bag of dried anchovies, and happily chowed down.

The three of them exchanged glances.

This time, there shouldn’t be any issues.

Zhang Ying Hao sighed and said: “Seems like we’ll just have to wait here for a while”

Ye Fei Li also picked up a bar of chocolate, took a bite, and commented: “From how these shelves look, their supply of food seems to be quite abundant”

“Right, they still have chocolate” Zhang Ying Hao lit a cigarette and commented.

“This is probably thanks to [Order], otherwise both food and resources should have been scarce during an Apocalypse” Gu Qing Shan replied.

While the three of them were talking, several men in military uniform rushed into the supermarket, panicking as they searched for a place to hide.

They didn’t think that there would be someone in the supermarket, so they raised their guns in surprise.

“Get out, scram!” one of the soldiers shouted.

The three of them continued doing what they were doing.

The black cat was burying himself in dried fish, gnawing on an especially big one.

No one reacted to him.

Tak tak tak!

The soldier let loose an entire cartridge without hesitation.

A bright red glow manifested into a wall to shield the three of them.

The bullets directly bounced off the wall.

Ye Fei Li only glanced at him a bit before looking away.

——these people were too weak.

“Professionists, run!”

The soldiers exclaimed in shock and hurriedly fled the supermarket.

Gu Qing Shan commented: “Fei Li’s current mental fortitude is quite decent; you could’ve killed and absorbed them to increase your strength, but didn’t”

Ye Fei Li grinned, then replied: “I normally don’t kill people”

Gu Qing Shan froze, feeling these words to be a bit familiar.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The floor began to rumble intensely as if something was attracted to those people and was chasing them.

——-no wonder those people tried to force Gu Qing Shan out of the building earlier.

Following that, desperate screams could be heard from outside.

The vicinity of the supermarket became silent again.

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!

The rumbling slowly left.

A few moments later.

A man in an officer-looking military uniform flew in.

“Which brigade do you belong to?” the man observed them.

The three of them also observed him.

This military man carried some unique fluctuation of power, quite obviously superhuman.

A few lines of text appeared on their [Chaos] UIs:

[Be careful, this is a carrier of Order]

[Your Chaos UIs will soon be concealed, only reactivating after this rescue mission]

[Attention: Chaos is not afraid of Order; this matter simply requires a great deal of caution]

[Special note: This is the last of the three gambles, after winning this gamble, you may bring the Deity of Chaos back to the Great Gate world, where she will join your group and help you fight against your competition!]

After these lines of text finished displaying, the UI curtly vanished without a trace.

“I feel like... [Chaos] is acting a bit too careful” Ye Fei Li sent his voice.

“That goes to show how important the unawakened Deity is to it” Gu Qing Shan evaluated and commented.

“Hello, we’re civilians” Zhang Ying Hao waved to greet the military man.

The man narrowed his eyes, then took out a device to scan the three of them.

After reading what was on the device, he appeared surprised: “So you were Professionists of this city——- who had only just awakened—— very well, I now declare that you have been conscripted, immediately follow me to stop the Five Element calamity”

“Alright” Gu Qing Shan replied.

The man appeared a bit shocked.

I didn’t think they’d be so willing.

Although, this is their city, their home, so I guess their reaction is relatively normal.

“Let’s take a look at the situation of this world” Gu Qing Shan sent his voice to the others.

They all had a tacit understanding.

Zhang Ying Hao picked up a piece of dried fish and carried the black cat on his shoulder.

The three of them followed the military man.

Only to find a fighter plane chasing after a few sprites of light in the sky, occasionally attacking one another engaged in an intense air combat.

The human army on the ground was already defeated.

Soldiers were desperately fleeing.

Various heavy weaponry and tanks laid strewn all over.

The military man didn’t care about any of that and simply led them towards where the battle was the most intense.

“Obsolete technology, they haven’t even implemented fighter Mechs yet, otherwise we would have been able to show them a thing or two”

Zhang Ying Hao sent his voice to Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan nodded, then saw the corpse of a man on the ground, which had a bow and a quiver lying next to it.

This was a technological world, yet someone was using a weapon like this, which meant that the weapon was probably quite decent.

Gu Qing Shan waved his hand to summon the bow and quiver.

In Heaven Pillar world, the fragments of the world had also transferred some advanced archery techniques to him.

——but he never had a chance to use them yet.

“Do you know how to use a bow?” the military man questioned.

“I dabble” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“This is advanced equipment for army commanders, after this campaign is over, you will have to hand them in” the military man sternly told him.

“Alright” Gu Qing Shan answered.

The four people suddenly looked forward.

All the noise in their vicinity ceased.

——–as if all the men who had been fleeing before had died.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The sound of heavy footsteps.

Followed by a lion that was as tall as three people who emerged from the corner of the street.

Wherever it walked passed, the cement and concrete ground turned into loess.

The three of them exchanged surprised glances.

This lion was capable of changing the basic chemical composition of the world, this wasn’t something that could be achieved through simple elemental manipulation.

“Be careful, that is a Golden Sand Lion King, an Elemental Earth monster, extremely powerful” the military man told them.

Mana exuded from his body, manifesting as a green Elemental Wind aura.

“Support me!” he shouted.

“At once!” Gu Qing Shan shouted at the other two.

The lion abruptly opened its mouth and uttered a thunderous roar:

「 Humans, you will die right here! 」

Bang!

The sound of a gunshot.

At the same time, a bright red flash appeared, then vanished.

Zhang Ying Hao displayed a gun flourish before holstering his guns; Ye Fei Li simply stood still, continuing to eat his chocolate.

With a heavy ‘thud’, the lion collapsed.

The military man was shocked, looked at the two of them, then back at the lion.

The lion laid completely still on the ground.

The military man then carefully walked forward to examine its body.

Only to find that both of the lion’s eyes had been blinded by bullets, its entire body was completely intact except for a razor-thin slash wound that went through its entire neck, leaving only a single bit of skin that made sure the head didn’t fall off.

And there was an arrow tip poking out through the lion’s nape.

The military man recalled something, then turned back to Gu Qing Shan with disbelief.

“You...”

He knew for a fact that the other two had attacked, but what happened to this arrow!?

Gu Qing Shan lowered his bow and replied: “It opened its mouth too widely when talking”

The military man stayed silent for a while, then pointed at the bow in his hand: “That bow is yours to keep”

Desperate screams resounded ahead of them again.

“Let’s go”

The four people went along the yellow dirt road, rushing forward.

Two blocks later, they witnessed something else.

A snake that was several meters long had coiled itself around a skyscraper, looking down on the humans below.

It breathed out huge gusts of cold air that caused many people to become frozen in place, helpless to do anything and slowly losing their lives.

“I’m only at Foundation realm right now, I can’t fly” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Then let me”

Zhang Ying Hao took out his assault rifle and said.

When he was about to snipe the monster, the sound of a cat resounded from his shoulder.

Meow!

Everyone looked at the black cat.

Only to see that he had eaten so much that his stomach was bulging, currently rubbing his belly in satisfaction as he pointed in another direction.
