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

After a pleasant dinner, the camp had entered the night.

Wang Jixuan huddled by the narrow window, watching the starry sky, luxuriously wasting time on things other than meditation.

His spiritual sense was constantly spread out, so that if the psychic approached, he would be immediately aware.

In just two or three hours, Ling Tong and Uncle Tai had upgraded the defensive firepower of this supply station, installed two automatic machine guns, and the defense forces stationed in Area C had also arranged two哨 nearby.

The sense of security increased linearly.

Buzz, buzz!

Wang Jixuan picked up the text switch next to him.

It was Zhou Zhengde who had received the news here.

[01: What's going on? You just got there and there's unrest. Are they targeting you already?]

[02: Not bad. Team Leader Zhou, be careful on your side too. The newcomer Qin Qin has a good figure, but she's a difficult character.]

[01: Did she test you?]

[02: I met them on the way here yesterday. The culprit who caused the camp unrest was the C-level telekinetic psychic next to her. Can you get me a list of these psychics? Send it directly to Ling Tong.]

Wang Jixuan thought for a while, and then specifically instructed.

[02: Team Leader Zhou, I have no intention of interfering with your emotional problems, but the new head of the biology department is a bit inscrutable, so you should pay more attention.]

[01: I've noticed it too. She claims to be a semi-conservative, but... good heavens, when she came to the Thirteenth Floor Security Office to ask me out today, she was wearing very sexy lace lingerie and deliberately showed it to me.]

[01: Tsk, what does she take me for? Is the Psychic Capital so chaotic? If I wanted to choose an open-minded girl, wouldn't it be better for me to accept Wei Na?]

[02: Then how did you handle it?]

[01: Simple, I asked Wei Na to come over and help me play the role of my girlfriend and sent her away. She's really a difficult woman. However, Wei Na is very good at dealing with this kind of green tea b*tch.]

[02: Green tea b*tch?]

[01: It's a curse word, don't learn it. Your soul is pure, little classmate Wang Zheng (〃'▽'〃).]

[02: Any news from Ye Zi's side?]

[01: No, the wanderers' camps are erratic. I'll keep an eye on it. She's most likely been swallowed by the desert.]

[02: I'll try to get rid of the psychic lurking in the outer C area. I'm informing you in advance so you don't get caught off guard.]

[01: Eh? Are you going to do it yourself?]

[02: With Ling Tong, I just need to put oil on her mechanical arm. Talk to you later.]

[01: Don't worry about me here, I've seen all kinds of women... Do you need contraceptives over there? Battle Mechs can't get pregnant, but the military encourages Battle Mechs and Battle Bases to form their own families, which will help improve their working years.]

Wang Jixuan: ...

Are these guys serious!

Don't they understand the importance of Yuanyang to foundation-building cultivators?

It seems they really don't understand.

Wang Jixuan stretched, pondered slightly by the window, meditated, pinched the magic seal, deduced carefully, and soon joined his sword fingers together, tapped himself a few times, and aimed his hands at the sky.

Before long, wisps of extremely weak starlight gathered.

There really is radiation!

Cough, no, there really is the power of starlight!

Wang Jixuan's spirit perked up.

However, he soon discovered that there wasn't much starlight power, and the essence of stars and moon wasn't too much.

Overall, if he absorbed the essence of stars and moon for six hours a day and meditated for sixteen hours, the cultivation efficiency would be slightly higher than in the fortress mid-city.

'Now that I've left the interior of the fortress and am under Ling Tong's protection, can I get some formula soil?'

'It's not very feasible. The Wanlijin Gang's greenhouse area is very large. They use a lot of formula soil to make the spiritual energy concentration relatively high.'

'Crystal cores are the top priority. If all else fails, study the flesh and blood of blade beasts.'

'I wonder if the new head of the biology department will discover that six crystal cores are missing. In their eyes, this kind of resource should be the most precious.'

Daoist Wang was also a little worried.

Thus, a night passed without incident.

The next morning, Wang Jixuan was awakened from his cultivation by Wan-jie's call to eat.

He specially changed his clothes, messed up his hair a bit, and yawned a few times to moisten his eyes before opening the door and going out.

Ling Tong and Uncle Tai's family were already gathered around the square table in the corner, with a space specially left next to Ling Tong.

Uncle Tai was thin, with deep wrinkles on his forehead, and was already fifty-nine years old this year.

At last night's welcome banquet, they had chatted warmly, and Wang Jixuan had also learned about Uncle Tai and Wan-jie's love story.

Wan-jie was originally a non-marriage advocate, applied for gene matching, test-tube insemination, and gave birth alone. The child was handed over to the fortress nursery, and her native fortress raised Wan Xiaoqi to the age of six.

—Completely free care.

What was more dramatic was that the person who anonymously provided male reproductive cells at that time was Uncle Tai.

It seemed that because the executive auxiliary system of their birth fortress determined that the two of them could give birth to an excellent mechanic offspring.

Later, Wan-jie and Uncle Tai met, fell in love, and got married in the previous team of Battle Mechs. When they returned to their original fortress to register, the fortress auxiliary system gave them their child's genetic map.

It can be considered very 'coincidental'.

At this moment, Uncle Tai, with dark circles under his eyes, laughed and said:

"Little Wang, you're young and your body is good! You didn't even get up at night yesterday! You've taken good care of your kidneys!"

Wan Xiaoqi chuckled: "Hee hee hee, last night we bet on whether we would hear any movement, but nothing happened. What a disappointment."

"This child is always talking nonsense."

Wan-jie hurriedly said:

"Don't listen to their random teasing... Little Wang, what courses do you want to learn later? You can come to me for teaching materials."

Ling Tong ate breakfast slowly and methodically, completely ignoring these topics.

Wang Jixuan sat next to her, looking at the two large plates of fried dough sticks and seven or eight fried eggs in front of him, and exclaimed: "Is the food here so good?"

"Of course!"

Wan Xiaoqi said with a smile:

"My parents are both senior mechanics, with more than thirty years of service! They are already level five citizens with full marks! There are also military rank bonuses! The supplies are very abundant!"

Wang Jixuan clicked his tongue: "Then I have to take advantage of the benefits here."

Uncle Tai next to him put a fried dough stick on Wang Jixuan's plate: "Eat more, you look so thin. We mechanics also do physical work."

"Thank you, Uncle Tai."

Ling Tong simply said: "Team Leader Zhou sent some information, including a list of newly added psychics. The person who tried to attack us yesterday is called Lu Dongjie. He followed us and should be in the camp now."

Wang Jixuan glanced at Uncle Tai and the others, and waited quietly for a dozen seconds.

Ling Tong spoke directly, proving that these things could be discussed in front of their family.

Ling Tong asked: "What do you want to do?"

Wang Jixuan asked: "Can you get that kind of shield that automatically triggers when a bullet hits it?"

Uncle Tai immediately said: "We have it here. I'll get it for you later. In addition to the trigger-type plasma shield for individual soldiers, we also have large shields for mechs. These are defensive weapons outside of Ling Tong's equipment, and our team can legally use them."

"Just give me two for individual use," Wang Jixuan said, taking a bite of the fried dough stick.

Crispy, sweet, and with a pleasant aftertaste, it was indeed a delicacy he had never enjoyed in the fortress.

He asked: "Do you have the investigation results for the four people yesterday?"

"They all looked a little sluggish after waking up, and their brains seemed to have been affected."

Wan-jie said quickly:

"It has been determined that a psychic or a mimic blade beast has done something to them. We still need to observe them. If they don't show any manic behavior after twenty-four hours, we can conclude that the psychic is causing trouble."

Wang Jixuan was a little puzzled: "Can't this kind of control by psychics exist all the time?"

"They can only control human or animal individuals within a certain range around them. It won't work if they leave that range."

Uncle Tai's answer was more professional:

"According to the information we currently have, if it is a C-level psychic, then the only human individuals they can control are those who are not strong-willed, are distracted, or are completely unprepared.

"Most military soldiers have related anti-training.

"If it is a mimic blade beast... records show that mimic blade beasts can disguise themselves as humans and carry out some preaching to bewitch humans, which is used together with their mental control skills.

"This kind of mimic blade beast is the most棘 hand, and the psychics causing trouble are usually just rubbish."

Wang Jixuan nodded slowly and lowered his head to think.

Ling Tong said: "Don't worry, I'll solve that Lu Dongjie later."

"I'm not worried about this."

Wang Jixuan didn't say much, and smiled and changed the subject:

"Why do they all call you Battle Mech? This name doesn't sound very good."

"It's just a nickname," Ling Tong shrugged, "It doesn't matter."

Wan Xiaoqi volunteered to explain: "I know, I know! The name Battle Mech is actually a nickname! It's to reduce ordinary people's fear of the boss! This is an experiment that originated more than eighty years ago!"

"Say less! Eat quickly! Let me explain."

Wan-jie glared at Wan Xiaoqi, and then said in a gentle tone:

"More than eighty years ago was the most dangerous moment for mankind. At that time, the battle lines were constantly shrinking. Although human military technology developed by leaps and bounds, blade beasts were also making targeted evolutions.

"At the time, many plans with significant impact on the future were proposed, including the official recognition of espers and the battle-use cyborg project, which combined humans and machines and was then called Mechanical Evolution."

"Then, large-scale experiments began. We paid a heavy price, but also achieved brilliant results."

"Our Commander-in-Chief of the D5 Comprehensive War Zone was one of the first cyborgs."

Ling Tong swallowed the rice porridge in small sips, a food exclusively for her.

Sister Wan continued to narrate:

"Cyborgs reversed the situation to some extent. The giant mecha developed around the cyborgs became super equipment to fight against King-level Blade Beasts, finally allowing humans to breathe."

"Then this plan kept iterating."

"By Ling Tong's generation, her official code name had become 'Cyborg AR600 Improved Type II'. There were one hundred and fifty people in the same batch, ninety-five of whom had died in battle or due to organ failure. Now twenty-five people are in the D5 War Zone, becoming candidates for the next generation of terrifying mecha."

"The current situation is very dangerous. In this area, the Commander-in-Chief is struggling to hold on."

"The Commander-in-Chief is the only long-lived cyborg. The secret to his longevity is not that his organs have not failed, but that after his whole-body modification, his brain has miraculously stabilized in an environment simulating body hormones, and his consciousness has not collapsed."

"The essence of cyborgs is inhumane. It is unfair to those who are modified, and their powerful combat power always makes people feel terrified, afraid of them losing control."

"Over time, the authorities tacitly allow nicknames like Mech-girl, Battle-girl, Mecha-girl, and Pilot-girl."

Wan Xiaoqi chirped in, "Male cyborgs are usually called Battle-bro, the 'bro' as in brother, just to deliberately weaken the soldiers' fear of them. Of course, such a title must never be used on our Commander-in-Chief... or you'll be blasted to the sky!"

Uncle Tai praised endlessly, "The Commander-in-Chief is so admirable, that's willpower, willpower exceeding human limits!"

Ling Tong looked at Wang Jixuan and said softly, "That's also my life goal, to become an existence like the Commander-in-Chief, piloting a terrifying mecha, and ultimately defeating the Blade Beasts."

"Respect to you," Wang Jixuan tapped her bowl with his fried dough stick.

Ling Tong pursed her lips, seemingly smiling, and lowered her head to drink the porridge.

Uncle Tai glanced left and right, took out a text exchange device, quickly wrote a line of words, and secretly handed it to Wang Jixuan under the table.

The message clearly read:

[D5 Second Mechanic: Ling Tong only has three to five years to enjoy sweet love. Her organs will not be able to withstand the load and must gradually move towards a fully mechanical life form, eventually only retaining her brain. Please try to give her more beautiful memories, it will help her persevere for a few more years in the future.]

Ling Tong: "Don't pass notes in front of me."

"What notes!"

Uncle Tai instantly covered the text exchange device and took it back, smiling honestly at Wang Jixuan.

Daoist Wang: ......

He actually wanted to say that if he could successfully reach the Golden Core Realm and continuously use spiritual energy to massage and passively temper Ling Tong's body, Ling Tong should, possibly, probably... not need to have her organs removed and could even improve her combat power.

Not kidding.

Many children of old seniors in the cultivation world who lack cultivation talent can also be enlightened and have their lifespans extended by these seniors, let alone just improving their physical strength.

For a Battle-girl, the strength of a Body Cultivator in the Third Stage of Foundation Establishment, Returning to Truth, might be enough for her to maintain her current state.

However, these are all future considerations.

Daoist Wang certainly couldn't boast now; he hadn't even completely solved his own cultivation problems.

"After breakfast, I'm going out for a walk. Will you accompany me, officer?"

"Oh."

Ling Tong responded without raising her head.

Uncle Tai, Sister Wan, and Wan Xiaoqi immediately showed expressions of approval.

However, half an hour later.

The three of them simultaneously raised their hands to support their foreheads.

Wang Jixuan put on a bulletproof vest, installed protective shield patches, a positioning device, and put on a large-caliber pistol with two magazines, stepping out of the supply station first.

Ling Tong, holding a mechanical arm, stood in front of the simple launch platform, already prepared for battle, ready to rush out to provide support at any time.

Uncle Tai: "So, they aren't going on a date?"

"Then what are they doing?" Wan Xiaoqi muttered, tilting her head.

"Fishing," Ling Tong said softly, "Prepare to open the upper exit, load the flight backpack, and enable single-soldier elimination equipment, minimizing impact on civilians."

"Yes!"
