In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone

Knock, knock, knock!

The urgent knocking startled Wang Jixuan from his meditative state.

He nimbly jumped up, and the extremely tiny, newly formed wisp of energy within him immediately retreated to his dantian in his abdomen.

Wang Jixuan glanced at the clock on the wall, realizing he had only cultivated for less than two hours, or three and a half hours according to the local time.

He had hoped to recover some of his strength, but now he helplessly discovered…

The spiritual energy here was too scarce.

He was filled with insights, but couldn't even cross the threshold of the Qi Refining stage.

He had only managed to slightly enhance his five senses, increase his physical strength, and gain a wisp of basic inner energy.

'I still need to find a way to get some spirit stones to set up a spirit gathering formation later.'

Knock, knock!

The person outside increased the force of their knocking.

Wang Jixuan could vaguely sense that there were three people outside.

A gang's revenge?

He flashed behind the door and asked, feigning sleepiness, "Are you knocking on my door?"

"Thirteenth Floor Security Team! Open the door! Assisting with an investigation!"

Wang Jixuan was doubtful, but he was also bold due to his newfound abilities.

With the wisp of energy he had just obtained, plus the four-foot-long metal pipe behind the door, which served as a collectible, he was confident in repelling any intruders.

So, he reached out and pressed the electronic lock, holding his breath and standing quietly against the wall.

A thick calf wearing a mid-length boot kicked the door open directly.

Two men and one woman, three security team members in light blue uniforms, squeezed into the level three citizen standard room.

'They are indeed officers.'

Wang Jixuan inconspicuously placed the metal pipe back in the corner and proactively spoke:

"Is there something you need from me?"

The three of them were obviously startled, and the somewhat thin girl subconsciously took two steps back.

The leader of the three was a middle-aged man with slicked-back hair parted in a 3-7 split, his light blue uniform clean and crisp, out of place with the constantly dim atmosphere around him.

The man had a proper appearance, not particularly outstanding, but with a high nose bridge and deep-set eyes, giving him a sense of 'uprightness.'

Wang Jixuan noticed that the man wore a small Bauhinia flower badge on his chest.

This seemed to be proof of some kind of official rank.

Behind the middle-aged man, the security team member with bulging muscles glared and scolded: "What are you hiding there for! Come over and cooperate with our investigation!"

"Don't be so fierce," the middle-aged man frowned, "You two go outside and wait for me."

"Yes! Captain!"

The two team members saluted crisply, the strong young member glaring at Wang Jixuan again before leaving, seemingly warning him to be honest, while the girl with the folder smartly closed the alloy door.

The light in the room was dim, and the middle-aged man went to the side on his own, found the lighting knob, and turned it to the maximum.

The room suddenly became much brighter.

"My name is Zhou Zhengde," he announced himself, his hawk-like eyes sizing up Wang Jixuan, "Wei Na's ex-boyfriend, she asked me to come find you."

Wang Jixuan leaned against the wall without moving, his hands in his pockets.

Although he wanted to appear more nervous to better suit Mu Liang's personality, but…

He really couldn't bring himself to be nervous.

"Do you need me to prove that it was self-defense?"

"You will help, won't you?"

Zhou Zhengde's gaze softened a little, and he sighed:

"She is a good person, I mean, she is a good person, although not a good woman, but when we were in a relationship, this open-minded person did not betray me, which gave me a very good dating experience.

"You know, the environmental pressure is too great, and open relationships have become the lifestyle of half the population, but our officials will not advocate it.

"Back to the point.

"I will need you to sign a few documents later, and I will also record the entire process as evidence for the law enforcement officer's judgment.

"Now can you tell me... what exactly happened at that time? The real situation, this trouble is very troublesome."

Very troublesome?

Is the strength of that gang so daunting that even the officers are afraid?

Wang Jixuan nodded, speaking slowly:

"At that time, Doctor Wei Na checked my mental state and determined that I had no suicidal tendencies, but was just accidentally caught by a cloth strip around my neck, and gave me that certificate.

"The three people who claimed to be from the Black Fire Gang were very fierce.

The leader, called Brother Hua, grabbed Wei Na's hair and pulled her to the ground.

He wore hard leather shoes and kicked Doctor Wei Na's abdomen hard.

At that time, I... was stunned.

"They said I was Wei Na's boyfriend..."

"That, cough! Interrupting for a moment."

Zhou Zhengde pondered for a few seconds:

"Are you? Young man? Are you Wei Na's boyfriend?"

"I'm not," Wang Jixuan said, "I just met her in the medical room in the cubicle."

"Then have you had a relationship with her?"

Wang Jixuan smiled: "No, I am a sexual conservative."

Zhou Zhengde's eyes suddenly lit up a little: "That's great, you will definitely get a great female partner as your gene pairing recommended spouse on your twenty-fifth birthday... that, did she tell you that she had early menopause?"

"Huh?" Several question marks popped up in Wang Jixuan's head.

"That's beside the point," Zhou Zhengde cleared his throat, his tone a little higher than before, and his sitting posture more casual, "Continue."

Wang Jixuan pointed to his hastily bandaged arm: "I was actually very scared at the time.

That guy held a gun to me and asked me to persuade Doctor Wei Na to accept their invitation to have an organ removal operation.

I don't know where I got the courage from, I turned around and snatched the gun over.

He was obviously stunned by my sudden resistance, and then I punched him with all my strength... people will explode with potential when they are angry.

My mind was also blank at the time."

"That's right, I've had a similar experience.

"This Black Fire Gang occupies one-third of the organ trading market in the lower city.

They rely on this kind of dirty business to survive."

Zhou Zhengde's eyes showed a bit of undisguised anger:

"These scumbags! Bastards! If it wasn't for... forget it, there's no need to complain about this to you!

"I know Wei Na's personality very well.

Although her views on relationships are easily criticized, she has been determined to be a doctor since she was a child.

I grew up with her and used to be the best of friends, but once we couldn't help crossing the line, the nature changed.

"You know, she is a very feminine woman, and I had a little too much to drink.

"It's just a pity that she is unwilling to become my wife and remain loyal to our marriage... she can only accept open marriages."

Wang Jixuan rubbed his forehead with his fingers: "Captain Zhou, why don't we get the evidence now."

"Ha, of course! However, you don't have to say that you punched them later."

Zhou Zhengde narrowed his eyes slightly:

"You just need to say... the situation at the time was very chaotic.

These three people wanted to kill you.

Doctor Wei Na jumped up to grab his gun.

In the fierce struggle, you heard seven or eight gunshots, and then you saw Wei Na grabbing the pistol, kneeling down, trembling all over.

"That way you won't have any legal troubles, and Wei Na will have more initiative.

"Is that okay?"

Wang Jixuan nodded: "Okay."

The latest novels are available first at Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

"Great! You are really a smart young man!"

Zhou Zhengde got up to call his subordinates.

"I want to ask," Wang Jixuan took the initiative to speak, "The implication of 'no legal trouble' is that I have other troubles?"

"The one who died was the thirteenth-ranked small leader within the Black Fire Gang, a villain, a scumbag, a piece of trash, but he is the Black Fire Gang BOSS's younger brother."

Zhou Zhengde clicked his tongue softly:

"The two guys who escaped have already told the Black Fire Gang leader what they saw.

Their leader sent me a letter asking me not to interfere in this matter.

"The Black Fire Gang needs to establish their position and deterrence, and will inevitably retaliate against Wei Na and you.

"I will try my best to protect Wei Na, she is one of my best friends.

Although the Black Fire Gang has some background, they don't dare to directly attack the security office.

"So, they are likely to release their anger on a level three ordinary citizen with no power and no background first.

"As a return gift for you recording this evidence, I will immediately arrange another place to live for you, but this can only hide it from the Black Fire Gang for a while... or I can get you a crime and put you in the security office's prison, but that will downgrade you to a level one citizen, losing your current relatively easy job."

Wang Jixuan immediately said: "The former is enough, thank you."

"It's just a mutually beneficial exchange, the characteristic of us Midtown people is order and principles."

Zhou Zhengde patted Wang Jixuan's shoulder and smiled:

"Your psychological quality is pretty good.

"No wonder Wei Na's eyes were shining when she mentioned you, I rarely see her with that expression.

"You really didn't sleep together? Really, I'm just curious to ask, she is a sexy goddess, and I'm already over with her."

Wang Jixuan looked distressed.

This captain has a peaceful aura and divine light in his eyes, not like an evil person, but... a bit talkative, and overly concerned about the private life of the female doctor Wei Na.

'Tsk, strange emotions of mortals.'

…

[13th Floor, D District, 17th Alley, Room 72].

Wang Jixuan, who had just packed his simple luggage, played with the blue card left by Captain Zhou, wondering how likely it was to be a trap.

He didn't dare to easily trust a stranger, even though his personal feelings about this captain were, on the whole, still comfortable.

Through Mu Liang's memory, Wang Jixuan had a moderate understanding of the fortress.

The fortress is divided into three parts: upper, middle, and lower. The upper city consists of the first to sixth levels and is the permanent area for the fortress's combat personnel and various military factories.

The middle city refers to the seventh to forty-fifth levels.

Approximately 430,000 people live here. Each level has several factories and numerous indoor farms. Every citizen must engage in various jobs in factories or farms before losing their ability to work.

If the upper and middle cities are the foundation and pillars of Fortress 76, then the lower city is synonymous with chaos.

The lower city houses approximately 200,000 to 300,000 people. It originally had only six levels of space, but due to various 'historical' issues, it gradually evolved into another world.

The decrees issued by the fortress's governor can only be effectively promoted in the upper and middle cities, being isolated from the lower city.

The lower city is filled with violence and depravity, and it likes to use freedom as a slogan to conceal bloodshed and chaos.

The underground fortress numbering in the Midland Basin has reached '136', but only eighteen fortresses currently exist in this area, and most of the fortresses collapsed not because of external attacks by Blade Beasts, but were buried in the so-called free uprisings.

The most fatal thing is that the lower city, after seventy or eighty years of downward expansion, has damaged the bottom defense layer of Fortress 76.

— The above information was once written on the bulletin board in the middle city streets.

Under these preconditions, members of the Blackfire Gang, who run rampant in certain areas of the lower city, openly appeared on the thirteenth level of the upper part of the fortress with guns…

If the middle city's security team didn't condone this, Wang Jixuan wouldn't believe it even if Hua Ge was beaten to death several times.

From this perspective, Wang Jixuan didn't dare to completely trust Zhou Zhengde unless he could determine the specific 'official internal ghosts' colluding with the Blackfire Gang.

Daoist Wang thought to himself:

'This poor Daoist needs to find a place to hide for several months. Once this Daoist body enters the Qi Refining stage, I should be able to fight these mortal gangs head-on.'

'That kind of hidden weapon, which is extremely powerful to mortals, is now also a big trouble for this poor Daoist.'

'The mechanical skills of this world should not be underestimated. According to the original owner's memory, there are even puppets here that can shatter rocks and blast mountains.'

Dong, dong, dong!

The sound of knocking on the door suddenly rang out. Wang Jixuan jumped behind the door like a nimble cat, casually picking up a metal pipe with a circle of screws tied to the end.

"Who is it?"
