Continuous shelling sounded in the distance.
"listen--"
"I heard the shelling coming from the distant mountains outside the city, but I don't know whether it was ours or the enemy's."
The ground shook slightly.
Huge plumes of smoke rose into the air, and the sound of collapsing buildings could be heard vaguely, mixed with noisy human voices at various decibels.
Immediately afterwards, a piercing siren suddenly sounded.
"Okay - it seems to be an enemy attack. Do you want to continue repairing the car here?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"Of course, I don't have the skills like you. I have to fix the car here." Liao Xingdao.
"——I never knew you were so dedicated."
Gu Qingshan crossed his arms and joked.
Liao Xing's curse sounded: "Damn it, what time has it been? Can you be more serious? You must know that your life and even the safety of billions of worlds are tied to me at this moment."
"Okay." Gu Qingshan closed his mouth.
Opposite him was a line of military transport trucks.
This is the open space outside the air raid shelter.
Liao Xing was hiding under a certain truck, painstakingly doing maintenance work.
For a while.
Liao Xing got out from under the truck and said with sweat on his face: "Look, another truck has been repaired. I'm a good person."
Gu Qingshan said meaningfully: "Military vehicles, soldiers, air-raid shelters, and still hiring drivers, so you are aware of it, is that right?"
"In addition, these people were able to obtain so much equipment during the war. They just saw ancient machine guns and even a cannon, which is enough to explain the problem." Liao Xingdao.
He closed his eyes and muttered something.
Gu Qingshan listened and realized that he was practicing the first-level Qi refining formula.
In order to survive in this world, Liao Xing also worked hard.
Gu Qingshan sighed lightly.
Although I can’t enter this world——
But there are some things you can actually do.
He thought for a moment, then disappeared in a flash.
city centre.
Gu Qingshan appeared on the side of the street.
He stared at the surrounding buildings and the vehicles powered by gasoline and diesel, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Due to the rules of the ritual, this will be a relatively fair battle.
Liao Xing is an ordinary person.
What he faced was an extremely dangerous situation for ordinary people.
And in order to prevent the difficulty of the world from suddenly becoming higher, I only taught a little bit of the first-level formula during the Qi refining period.
In a practical sense, the first level of Qi refining is not considered cultivation at all, it can only be regarded as the level of a warrior in the mortal world.
——It doesn’t break through Liao Xing’s upper limit as a mortal, but it can really help him.
In this case……
In a war, Liao Xing would have a greater chance of surviving.
Gu Qingshan was thinking in his heart when he suddenly raised his head.
There was a huge noise in the sky, and a large transport plane was seen flying past, releasing parachutes one by one.
Da da da da da!
Around the city, the sound of anti-aircraft artillery suddenly sounded.
Those parachutes fell one after another, but a few still landed safely in the city.
--paratrooper?
Gu Qingshan flew over gently and soon came to a landing place.
I saw a black rectangular box tied to the lower end of the parachute, which had landed safely.
Bang!
The box was pushed open.
A man climbed out of the box.
Gu Qingshan's expression was slightly condensed.
I saw the man using his hands and feet, running as fast as a wild animal, running straight into the crowd, hugging a fat man and starting to bite him.
The crowd dispersed with a roar.
The man gnawed for a while, and seemed to be attracted by a scream. He immediately put down the fat man, ran towards a woman at the end of the street, and then pounced on her——
The screaming stopped abruptly.
Gu Qingshan glanced quietly, then turned his head and looked at the person who was bitten just now.
I saw the fat man lying on the ground, his whole body twitching violently, suddenly turning over and crawling on the ground.
His pupils disappeared, his teeth became sharper, and his figure became slimmer.
"Eat...eat..."
The fat man roared and ran towards a noisy shopping mall.
one two three.
Three seconds.
After being bitten, it only takes three seconds to completely transform into a cannibal. This speed is really terrifying.
Gu Qingshan turned his eyes again and stared at the people hiding in the cafes on both sides of the street.
I saw that those people still maintained their human sanity.
——It does not appear to be airborne.
Judging from its attraction to screams, perhaps sound was an important factor in getting its attention.
With the cannibal's attack power and speed, this city... is probably destined to fall, and sooner or later it will turn into a scene of hell on earth.
——It depends on whether Liao Xing can survive.
Gu Qingshan quietly disappeared from the place.
…
Time passes slowly.
A burst of scattered footsteps gradually approached.
Liao Xing opened his eyes and stood up from the ground, only to see several soldiers coming.
"How's the repair going?" the leading soldier asked.
"Everything is fine." Liao Xing said.
"Is everything okay?" The soldier's voice was a little surprised.
He got into a truck himself and hit the accelerator——
"It's amazing. This car broke down in my hands, and you were able to fix it in such a short time. You are really a master."
The soldier gave Liao Xing a thumbs up.
Liao Xing didn't seem to be good at words. He just smiled awkwardly and nodded at the other party.
He looked like an honest person.
——This actually makes the other party feel better.
"We are in urgent need of talents like you - by the way, what else can you repair?" the soldier asked.
Liao Xingdao: "As long as it's a truck, I can repair it——"
At this time, Gu Qingshan quietly appeared.
He immediately said: "I am especially good at large and complex machinery."
Liao Xing immediately said: "Ah, by the way, I am especially good at large and complex machinery."
Large machinery?
The soldier thought for a moment and said, "Follow me."
He led Liao Xing towards the air raid shelter.
As Liao Xing walked, he asked quietly: "Why do you talk about large machinery?"
Gu Qingshan explained: "What is more urgent than the driver is the maintenance staff, and you were hired for this reason."
"right."
"Since there is an urgent need for maintenance personnel here, I guess there are other things that need to be repaired - you see there are only trucks in the open space outside the air raid shelter, so the other things that need to be repaired should be inside the air raid shelter."
"So your intention is to get me into the bomb shelter?"
"At least get in there first."
"Hell, I'm claustrophobic - why did I have to enter that damn air-raid shelter? It's so gloomy inside. I can't stay in such a sealed environment for much longer." Liao Xing cursed softly.
"Man-eating ghosts are infecting people all over the city. Soon the whole city will be destroyed. I guess in this situation, air-raid shelters can help you survive." Gu Qingshan said.
"That's right...I like air raid shelters." Liao Xingdao.
They quickened their pace, crossed the empty and deep passage, and entered a large warehouse.
"look at this."
The soldier waved to his men.
Two men stepped forward and untied a thick layer of windproof cloth, revealing the big guy inside.
"This is... a tank?" Liao Xing couldn't help but ask.
The soldier explained: "Those engineers who are responsible for maintaining military equipment have gone to the front line - we guards are here to house the families of senior officers, but there is really a lack of firepower here. There is only this faulty tank. If you can Fix it and we’ll all be safer.”
Liao Xing looked at the tank with some hesitation in his heart——
"Let's cultivate together." Gu Qingshan said.
"Cultivation together? My major is space transition. When it comes to destruction, I only know how to make bombs - what is your area of expertise?" Liao Xing asked quietly.
Gu Qingshan paused slightly.
Too.
At this moment, Liao Xing had just returned from outer space and had not yet further learned various technical knowledge.
Even the practice has just begun.
Gu Qingshan said: "I am good at individual combat system design, electronic information equipment, artificial intelligence, and mobile armor."
"Is there any great paper?" Liao Xing asked as he walked.
"No." Gu Qingshan said.
"You don't even have a paper? You're not an academic liar, are you?" Liao Xing said hesitantly.
"I am not a liar academically." Gu Qingshan said.
"Then do you have anything to prove your skills and academics?"
"I have Gu Su'an."
"...Okay, I like you the practical ones the most."
Liao Xing turned around and showed an honest smile to the soldiers: "I can try - even if it can't be repaired, it won't make it worse. What do you think?"
"Okay, you try, it doesn't matter if you can't fix it well." The soldier said.
He started the tank, jumped out, and hurried away with the people, leaving only a young soldier watching.
Liao Xing looked at the soldier and saw him with a thin figure and a scrutinizing look on his face.
——He is an overseer.
Gu Qingshan floated into the tank and took a look, then flew out and whispered: "Take this man away."
Liao Xing understood.
At this time, Gu Qingshan seemed to notice something and suddenly disappeared from the place.
A breath later he reappeared.
"The man-eating ghosts are almost near the air-raid shelter, but the air-raid shelter door is still open. I guess they didn't have time to close the first door." Gu Qingshan said.
——The warehouse where the tanks are kept is very close to the first door.
As long as the cannibals attack, they will definitely arrive at this warehouse first.
"We can't escape now." Liao Xing gritted his teeth.
Gu Qingshan said: "Yes, and the second door is far away from you. Even if you can run through, there are strict guards there. Only officers and some family members can enter."
The two of them paused and looked at the tank in unison.
"Time is running out." Gu Qingshan said.
"Hey, do you have a cigarette? Let's smoke it." Liao Xing cleared his throat and approached the soldier.
"Fireworks are strictly prohibited here!" The soldier glared at him.
Liao Xing felt bored, touched his stomach with his hand, and said with a sad face: "Brother, I've been hungry all day. At least you can get me something to eat before I repair this big thing."
It was true, he had been working on the truck for hours on end.
The soldier hesitated.
Liao Xing added: "My whole family has been waiting for me to find a job and get money. Now I finally found a job, but I am starving. Alas, do your best, little brother."
As he spoke, he took out his newly paid salary from his pocket, took out a note and handed it to the other party.
The soldier was moved.
"It's past dinner time, there's nothing hot to eat now," the soldier said after collecting the money.
"You can secretly get me some food, anything." Liao Xing stuffed the other party with another note.
"This tank—"
"I'm just a repairman. How dare you drive a tank? Why don't you shoot me?"
"That's right, you can wait until I come back to fix it."
"good."
The soldiers went.
Liao Xing took a cigarette and lit it.
"This came from his pocket just now - do you smoke it? Oh, I forgot, you are in ghost state now." He said to Gu Qingshan.
Gu Qingshan said: "Stop talking trash, we have to fix this thing quickly and drive it to the second door, otherwise this will be the last cigarette in your life."
Liao Xingdao: "That's right. As scientists, now is the time for us to save the world - speaking of tanks, I don't know how to repair them at all."
"Me neither." Gu Qingshan said.
Liao Xingjing couldn't help shouting: "Damn it! You can't? You won't let me take this job?"
"The tank is quite strong and can block man-eating ghosts. Besides, maybe if you look at it more, I will know how to do it." Gu Qingshan shrugged.
Liao Xing stared at him.
"As scientists, we have to seek truth from facts. It won't be reality. Can't we learn it after some study?" Gu Qingshan said without changing his expression.
Liao Xing said dejectedly: "I heard from the goddess of justice that you have saved countless worlds - all in this way?"
"Otherwise?" Gu Qingshan asked curiously.
"...Well, since the existence of the world is so random...then I can't be blamed for everyone's demise."
Liao Xing threw the cigarette on the ground, stamped it out, and strode towards the tank.
