Night of apocalypse

no problem.

Shen Qiu responded without any hesitation.

Belluke then left with Shen Qiu and others, heading southwest.

Along the way, Shen Qiu saw groups of Blue Alliance soldiers searching everywhere. Unmanned reconnaissance planes flew over from time to time, and checkpoints were set up at some key street intersections. At worst, they were equipped with surveillance cameras.

Boss, these people from the Blue League are serious! If we really fall into their hands, we might be killed!

It's good to know, so don't show off.

Shen Qiu's lips moved slightly and reminded Chen Ye in a low voice.

Chen Ye swallowed and fell silent.

More than two hours later, Belluk led Shen Qiu and others to the entrance of the underground laboratory base.

When one of the defending soldiers saw Belluc, they immediately saluted and got out of the way.

Shen Qiu and the others followed Belluk and walked in unobstructed. Along the way, they could see bloodstains everywhere on the ground that had not been dealt with, as well as the remains of some weapons.

Shen Qiu couldn't help but narrow his eyes. From the traces at the scene, he felt a very familiar yet unfamiliar feeling.

At this time, Anji connected to Shen Qiu's mechanical armor, and the voice sounded directly in Shen Qiu's ears.

Chen Qiu, have you noticed something? The traces on this scene are very similar to the traces left by your previous battles.

Shen Qiu nodded slightly in response to Anji, his eyes becoming more solemn.

Soon Belluke took Shen Qiu and others to the control room of the base.

General Belluc!

A subordinate in the monitoring room immediately stood up and saluted.

You all go back and rest, I'm taking over here.

Belluke waved his hand and gave them orders directly.

The people present immediately carried out the order and all retreated.

Belluck immediately walked to the monitoring console and retrieved the images in the laboratory.

Shen Qiu also took a deep breath and prepared himself mentally.

When the video started playing, everyone's eyelids couldn't help but twitch when they saw Shen Qiu appearing in the video.

In the image, Shen Qiu's whole body was flashing with purple lightning, and he was murdering the inside of the laboratory ferociously. His actions were clean and crisp, extremely ruthless, and there was no trace of sloppiness.

Chen Ye took a deep breath and lowered his voice to Shen Qiu.

Boss, why do I feel that this guy is very similar to you after the rampage? To be honest, boss, if you hadn't been with us all the time, I would have doubted whether it was you.

roll!

Shen Qiu lowered his voice and replied angrily.

Chen Ye smiled dryly and quickly shut his mouth, fearing that he would offend Shen Qiu if he continued.

Shen Qiu took a deep breath and continued to look at the image.

Soon they saw Shen Qiu entering the laboratory, and biochemical tanks soaked in clones came into view.

At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded again.

Shen Qiu suppressed the shock in her heart and said to Belluk.

Beluke, you are really brave. Even if you conduct taboo experiments secretly, you actually make so many of me. Why are you playing with me?

Belluk looked very calm and shrugged.

Isn't this a normal thing?

This is not normal at all. What is going on?

You want to know, then I will simply tell you what's going on. Since the night of the Apocalypse came, a large number of awakened people were born among us, but as time goes by, a large number of awakened people died in other worlds. Under the impact of development and monsters, the number of newly born awakened people is getting smaller and smaller. Moreover, cultivating a qualified awakened person requires a huge amount of resources. Gradually, supply and demand problems arise. There is not enough manpower, and a huge gap appears. , at this time people from Shiben stepped forward and proposed a plan.”

what's the plan?

The XK-01 Super Genetic Warrior Project, this plan is very simple. It uses the technology developed by the Mermaid Island Laboratory, coupled with cloning technology, to mass-produce awakened warriors as a supplement to combat power.

It's really cruel. You have to pay for hiring an awakened person. If you make your own hand tools, you can squeeze them to death without any complaints.

That's right, because it is extremely cost-effective, the Blue Alliance Military Department approved this plan.

Then why clone me?

It's not about cloning you, but cloning the strongest person in all departments. After all, they are all clones, why not clone the top one, so that the tools produced will be the best.

Belluke replied jokingly.

After hearing what Belluk said, Shen Qiu said helplessly.

Okay, let me not worry about cloning with you for now. What happened to Shen Qiu, who slaughtered the laboratory? Could it be that you also produced it yourself?

Boss, what you said makes sense. Maybe they produced it themselves and then shot themselves in the foot.

Chen Ye also echoed.

Impossible. All experimental subjects are strictly controlled. If one is missing, it will be a huge accident.

Could it be that the failed products were not disposed of?

It's even more impossible. Although I don't like Shiben and the guys, they are not that stupid to make such a low-level mistake.

Belluke vetoed with absolute certainty.

this

When Shen Qiu heard this, he became more and more puzzled. This is wrong, that is wrong, and where did this guy come from?

At this time, Bekelen said in a low voice.

Captain, look quickly.

Shen Qiu looked over after hearing Bei Kailun's reminder. In the image, after killing Dr. Fidri, Shen Qiu walked to the innermost container, stretched out his hand and violently destroyed it, took out the contents and swallowed it in one gulp.

Shen Qiu frowned. At this time, Shen Qiu in the image also turned to look at the camera, showing a gloomy smile.

呲呲

There was a sudden burst of snowflakes on the screen.

Gone?

Shen Qiu then asked Belluk.

There are only so many images inside the laboratory, but the external cameras captured some.

Belluke explained to Shen Qiu.

Let it out and see.

Shen Qiu was not polite to Belluc either.

Belluk immediately operated closely and recalled the images captured by the hidden cameras in the City of Bones.

This was taken from Doang Street on the east side of the laboratory, which is near where you and I met.

this

Then Shen Qiu, others, and Belluke carefully studied these images.

But they studied for a long time and found no valuable clues.

Boss, although these pictures are very blurry and have no special value, they don't seem to be completely without clues.

At this time, Chen Ye suddenly spoke.

Shen Qiu and others turned to look at Chen Ye.

tell me the story.

Through these captured photos, we can at least determine the general direction of the opponent's movement trajectory.

Chen Ye put forward his own ideas.

After listening to Chen Ye's words, Belluke quickly entered instructions on the monitoring console.

Suddenly, photos appeared in sequence on the screen.

The results gradually emerged.

Shen Qiu and others held their breaths one by one and concentrated on waiting for the results.

Suddenly a rough voice suddenly sounded.

Beluke, what are you doing?

Shen Qiu and others were immediately startled, and Belluk's muscles tensed up, and then he turned around and looked over.

General Luo Fu'an walked in at some point, but Shen Qiu and others were too engrossed to notice.

General, I am studying the surveillance video after the incident and making various comparisons, hoping to find some clues.

Belluke responded immediately.

Oh? Did you find anything new?

General Dov'an's sharp eyes glanced over Shen Qiu and others.

Shen Qiu and the others stood up straight, not daring to make any other movements for fear that he would find something fishy.

Report to General, after my repeated investigations, I found that Shen Qiu seemed to be moving towards the Puppet City after slaughtering the experimental base.

General Luo Fuan's expression became more solemn when he heard Belluk's words.

Puppet City? This is troublesome. The land reclamation over there is at a critical moment. Things are messed up in the laboratory. We can't let problems happen there as well. Send my order immediately to gather all the troops to go to the Puppet City? .”

General? What about the City of Bones?

The experimental base has been destroyed and has no value. There is no need to stay here anymore. The top priority now is to capture Shen Qiu, ensure the success of the wasteland development of the Puppet City, and then use it as a springboard to attack the Royal City. If everything goes well, we can also atone for our sins. , otherwise we will not be able to escape the blame for this incident.

Understood! I will issue an order now to gather all the troops.

Belluk saluted General Luo Fu'an, and then left with Shen Qiu and others.

A few hours later, all the troops from the City of Bones gathered together and moved towards the City of Puppet.

Shen Qiu, the others, and Belluk boarded an armored command vehicle.

Beluke, are you sure you want to capture the royal city?

Shen Qiu asked Belluke suspiciously.

Yes! This is also our ultimate goal. It's a pity that the trump card used to attack the royal city was destroyed.

Belluke replied seriously.

Hey, listen to my advice. Don't touch that royal city. There are very terrifying things inside.

Shen Qiu sighed and quickly reminded.

How do you know? Have you ever been in?

Belluc asked doubtfully.

I didn't go in, but I almost fought with it. It's aura makes me a little scared even now when I think about it!

Shen Qiu smiled and replied.

...

Belluc was suddenly speechless.

At this time, Ailan, who was standing aside, reminded him with some concern.

Mr. Shen Qiu, Belluc is sincerely helping you. I hope you won't trick him. The situation in the City of Puppet and the City of Bones is not the same. Although they are both cities controlled by the Blue Alliance, the City of Bones We have the final say on most of the city’s defense forces, but we don’t have the final say on the troops in the Puppet City.”

Don't worry, I can't do anything to trick my friends.

Shen Qiu assured with a smile.

That's fine.

Ailan didn't say much.

Early next morning.

The vast army marched into the city of puppets.

Shen Qiu followed Belluc and looked curiously at this city of puppets. Judging from the appearance of the buildings, most of the buildings here were made of wood and stone, giving people a sense of a long history.

Belluck lit a cigar, took a puff and introduced.

This is the city of puppets. It looks very retro, doesn't it?

Well, it feels completely different from the high-tech civilization. What kind of monsters are lurking here? Are they difficult to deal with?

It's indeed quite difficult to deal with. The people here are all puppet monsters.

Puppet monster? What kind of monster is that?

They are puppets made by people, but these puppets are different from ordinary puppets. They have genetic modules embedded in their bodies. Depending on the embedded genetic modules, they can display different abilities. In a sense, they are no different from awakened ones. the difference.

Embedded genetic module? Then, wouldn't it be possible to obtain a genetic module by defeating a puppet monster?

Theoretically, this is the case, but it's not that easy. If you can't crush and kill the puppet monster, long-term and high-intensity fighting will consume the power in the genetic module, and what you get can only be defective products, or even It may be a scrap product. Moreover, when the puppet monster is in desperate situation, it is easy to launch a suicide attack.

Belluke explained to Shen Qiu.

I see.

Shen Qiu nodded.

Also, although the civilization of this world seems to be very outdated, their combat effectiveness is extremely powerful. Furthermore, let me tell you a secret. All the remaining laboratory ruins in this world were not built by them themselves. , but built by a higher civilization.

Belluke lowered his voice and said to Shen Qiu.

When Shen Qiu heard Belluc's words, she looked at him in shock.

Are you saying that the laboratory here was built by a higher civilization?

Yes, and after investigation by many of our researchers, we also discovered an amazing secret. This advanced civilization was very friendly in the early days and got along very harmoniously with the civilization here.

Wait a minute, if it was friendly, why would it mess up all the worlds?

This is the intriguing part. After long-term research, our people finally came to the conclusion that this advanced civilization may have internal problems. Either the radical faction is divided internally, or they have encountered some changes, or they have completely perished, ultimately causing problems for all civilizations it radiated.”

I see.

The most important thing now is to capture this world. There is a lot of information about that civilization left in this world. If we can successfully capture it, we may be able to find the world where the advanced civilization is. Then we can go to that world and uncover the If we uncover the truth about everything, there may be a way to end the source of the disaster. We must know that the coverage of the singularity in our world is constantly increasing. If this continues, our world may enter one of the three collapses. The world has followed.”

Wait, you said three? Isn't there only one world that collapsed? I haven't heard of any other world that collapsed?

It's normal that you don't know. This is top-secret information from our Blue League. Who will tell you.

Belluke replied with a hint of sarcasm.

Alas~

After hearing what Belluke said, Shen Qiu felt a little emotional in her heart.

Aren't you surprised?

Belluc asked with a smile.

I'm really surprised, but why did you tell me so much top-secret information?

Shen Qiu looked at Belluke curiously.

There's no reason. I just think highly of you and think you can be trusted. Also, the sky is about to fall. I don't want to be as pedantic and stingy as those idiots.

Belluc laughed and sarcastically said.

All right.

Shen Qiu replied with a wry smile.

…

Soon after, the entire mighty army arrived at the temporary military camp in the Puppet City.

stop!

Belluk raised his hand to signal the entire army to stop.

At this time, General Luo Fu'an came over, and Shen Qiu and others quickly stood up when they saw it.

General!

Belluk saluted Luofan.

General Luo Fuan immediately issued an order to Belluk.

All troops are stationed for rest. After settling in, they will go to the United Front Hall for a meeting.

clear!

Belluke responded seriously.

General Luo Fuan immediately turned and left.

Belluke also began to station his subordinates.

Shen Qiu and the others stood silently. The city of puppets was now full of people from the Blue Alliance, and it was difficult for them to act privately. It was better to follow him all the time, and it would be easier to find the guy.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps and a contemptuous voice.

Hey, isn't this Belluc?

Belluk couldn't help but frown when he heard this contemptuous voice.

Shen Qiu looked over at the sound and his eyelids jumped, but he soon returned to normal.

I saw a group of people approaching, led by a man wearing a general's uniform, with distinct features and handsome appearance, but with a hint of evil nature.

Standing next to this man were two people, one was Dogus, the representative of Gruno Group, and the other was Thor Otus, the eighth star envoy.

Buzfa, what are you doing here?

Belluke replied with a sneer.

Of course I came to see you. I heard from the people below that you were here, but you rushed here as soon as possible.

The weasel is sending New Year greetings to the rooster. It's not so kind!

Whatever you say, you are going to be unlucky anyway. Dr. Fedeli is dead, and you are responsible for the security of the City of Bones. You can't escape this responsibility, right? After all, you will really give me a surprise! We You worked your butt off to open up wasteland on the front line, and nothing happened, but you can't even keep a nest in the back, is this too unreasonable?

Buzfa sneered with an evil smile.

What does it have to do with you?

Belluc sneered and replied, not taking Buzfa's words to heart at all.

While the two were taunting each other, Otes's sharp eyes were fixed on Shen Qiu behind Belluc.

Shen Qiu also had a bad feeling in his heart. He had a strong feeling that Otes seemed to be aware of him.

In fact, Otes noticed at a glance that something was wrong with Shen Qiu, and felt an unusually familiar feeling, which he quickly recognized.

Shen Qiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

I didn't look at the almanac when I went out!

Now that he is in the Blue League's base camp, if Otes exposes him and everyone surrounds him, it will be enough for him to drink a pot.

But what is surprising is that Otes did not expose Shen Qiu, but instead looked away from Shen Qiu.

At this time, Dogus, the representative of Gruno Group, opened his mouth to mediate.

General Buzfa, General Belluc, please calm down. We are all our own people, there is no need to hurt the harmony.

Hmph! If you fail to succeed, you will fail.

When General Buzfa saw Dogus acting as peacemaker, he snorted and stopped sarcastic.

Upon seeing this, Dogus quickly changed the subject and asked Belluk.

Admiral Belluc, has that Shen Qiu really come to the Puppet City?

Most likely he ran over.

Belluke nodded slightly and replied.

Then it's troublesome. That Shen Qiu has always been lawless and has a very bad relationship with our ten books. He might get in the way. Now that the laboratory has been seized and the doctor has been killed, the super genetic warrior project can only be shelved, and the losses It’s extremely tragic. If we don’t make up for it elsewhere, there is no way we can explain it to Speaker Oroko.”

Dogus said with a very solemn expression.

I see.

After hearing what Dogus said, Belluk's expression gradually became serious.

Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let's go to the United Front Hall. The temporary meeting is about to start.

Dogus said to Belluk with a smile.

When Belluk heard this, he turned and said to Ailan.

Well, then I'll leave this to you. I'll go to the United Front Hall.

no problem!

Ai Lan nodded in response.

So Belluc followed Dogus and others and walked straight towards a tall stone building in the middle of the camp.

When Shen Qiu saw them leaving, she couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She originally thought she was going to be exposed.

Boss, Belluc is going to a meeting. Do you want me to eavesdrop on you?

Chen Ye asked in a low voice.

Forget it, now is not the time. If you are found out, you will be in even greater trouble.

Shen Qiu weighed it and gave up.

Too.

Chen Ye replied awkwardly.

After a while, Belluk and others entered the stone building.

Inside the stone building, officers were seen anxiously discussing combat matters.

Those damn puppets are simply too difficult to deal with. They are as slippery as loaches, and they won't even confront us head-on.

Forget it, they are attacked every day and night, and they don't get tired at all.

At this time, after Belluk and others came in, they all found a place to stand quietly and wait.

Not long after, General Luo Fuan and Vice President of Sita Group, Fabka, walked in.

General, you are here!

Many officers present saluted.

General Luofuan nodded slightly, then walked to the front of the crowd and asked.

Where's Commander Adoma?

almost there.

Buzfa immediately replied respectfully.

Not long after, an old woman wearing a blue general's uniform, with a wrinkled face and a very old-fashioned expression came in.

Adoma walked up to General Luofuan and greeted him respectfully.

General Luofuan, you are here.

Have you found any trace of Shen Qiu?

After receiving your message, we immediately dispatched a search team, but so far no trace of the other party has been found.

I understand, let's talk about the current situation, how far we have opened up wasteland, and what obstacles we have encountered.

Luo Fuan asked straight to the point.

Adoma waved her hand, and a thumbnail map of the Puppet City was displayed in front of everyone. She introduced it calmly.

Although we have only occupied half of the Puppet City, we are only one step away from victory, because the Puppet Castle in the center is right in front of us. However, we have been strongly blocked and cannot get close to the Puppet Castle in a short time.

Belluk listened to Adoma's introduction and looked at the projection of the puppet castle. The appearance of the entire puppet castle was made of black stone. It was like a ghost castle and covered a large area. However, it was not as grand as the giant castle. A large number of unknown green plants are planted outside.

After introducing the general situation, Adoma continued.

General Rofuan, give us three more days, and we will attack the puppet castle as soon as possible.

We don't have time to waste here. We must take it within one day, otherwise things will change later, Belluc!

General Luo Fuan narrowed his eyes and shouted.

exist!

Belluc immediately stood up and responded in a deep voice.

I order you to lead the vulture troops to attack from the left and cut into the left side of the puppet castle.

Luo Fuan gave the order directly.

yes!

Belluke took the order directly.

Buzfa!

exist!

I order you to lead the Black Snake troops to attack from the right and cut into the right side of the Puppet Castle.

yes!

Buzfa immediately took the order.

I will lead the rest of the troops and attack from the front!

Luo Fuan gave the order directly.
