End of the World Cycle

The journey was not smooth, especially with Lu Chaoyun who couldn't drive. He didn't bring anything with him and just followed Xie Qin alone.

He was still wearing the same white lab coat and research uniform, without even a change of clothes. Along the way, Xie Qin not only had to protect him, but also had to take care of his food, drink, and toilet. As the temperature was over 30 degrees, Xie Qin really couldn't stand this smelly man sitting next to him, and during the rest time, he even had to give him a motorhome to clean himself up.

It’s not that Xie Qin was stingy, but she just couldn’t be generous to people she didn’t know well or were even hostile to. Therefore, she didn’t treat Lu Chaoyun well along the way and drove very fast.

The journey was originally scheduled for four days, but we arrived in the evening of the third day. The city was just as perfect and grand as I had imagined, and it was still bustling and lively.

It seemed that what happened in this life had not affected the number of people in this base. There were even more people here. Everywhere that his spiritual power could sense was filled with people.

It is true that most people in this life have been forewarned. Even if a large-scale zombie tide breaks out, there are many survivors who escape. There are only so many official bases, and only four of them are safe. The rest of the people who have nowhere to go will naturally head for the major private bases.

Compared with its own infinite base, the first base has almost no threshold for entering the base. As long as you still have the labor force, you can survive in this base.

Xie Qin took a look at the same testing machine from a distance. It seemed to be more advanced than before. No wonder. He was only sixteen years old when he died in his previous life. He could survive to adulthood in this life, not to mention that with Lu Chaoyun's smart brain, he would be able to research more advanced things.

She admired scientific researchers very much, but she especially admired Lu Chaoyun. She had been his student for two years in her previous life, and all she had seen was a clone. She could feel that these clones were far inferior to the real Lu Chaoyun.

"Come on, let's go in."

Xie Qin had no intention of going in. She knew that once she entered the gate, there would be a 360-degree transparent place with no blind spots. Her every move, even the fluctuations of her mental power, would be monitored. She had seen Ning Cheng's fate, so she could burn down the city if she wanted.

But there are unknowns after entering. Who knows if Lu Chaoyun has anything that he has not seen before and just happened to activate? As long as there is any uncertainty, Xie Qin does not want to take the risk.

"Tell Lu Chaoyun that I'm waiting for him in Moshan Town, ten kilometers away. If I don't see him before this time tomorrow, I'll start my sabotage plan." Xie Qin looked up at Lu Chaoyun and said. Without waiting for Lu Chaoyun to answer, he controlled Lu Chaoyun with his mental power and let him get off the car.

Without hesitation, Xie Qin turned around and drove all the way to Moshan Town. The distance of ten kilometers was not far, but it was also outside the safe cruising range of the First Base.

When I first arrived, I found that the town was different from what I saw in my previous life. In my previous life, when I passed by here, there were four self-sufficient survivors who did not enter the First Base. But in this life, there was no one here, and the streets and houses were covered with mutated plants. Only buildings with more than four floors had heads sticking out.

After looking around, I couldn't find a suitable temporary resting place, so I found a relatively flat open space and took out the heavy truck RV where I was used to living.

Soon it was getting dark. I didn't have much appetite and the weather was not cool, so I ate some simple cold dishes and prepared to rest. I didn't plan to enter the space, because I felt that tonight would not be too simple.

Sure enough, just after I finished washing up and lay down on the bed, I heard the beeping alarm of the system.

[Beep beep beep! Alarm! Master, an unknown mechanical object is approaching, only thirty meters away from you.]

【Mechanical object?】

Xie Qin was puzzled. With her extremely sharp five senses and strong mental power, she could probably detect danger earlier than the system's alarm.

This time, I didn't feel anything at all. It was the system that discovered it through metal detection and danger defense.

Xie Qin stood up suddenly and saw the situation outside through the gap in the window. It was already dark and it was extremely quiet outside. There was not even the occasional animal call, no wind, and no sound from the plants. But through the pitch-black night, the pairs of night vision lights were even more obvious.

The distance was very close, and these things almost all ran. Without hesitation, Xie Qin pushed open the window and punched with his right palm. In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, and the flames extended all the way outward along the surrounding plants.

The night was brighter than the day, and countless frames were exposed outside. Seeing a shell coming towards Xie Qin's position, Xie Qin was nimble and jumped out of the window. He put the RV into the space, rolled forward, and stood firmly on the ground in a half-kneeling position.

Looking up, he saw countless AI mechas approaching him through the mist of fire, surrounding him at 360 degrees. This mecha was different from the official patrol mecha. It was loaded with ammunition all over. It was about two meters high and was a humanoid-shaped mecha with guns on its hands and feet.

The moment he saw clearly, dozens of mechas raised their arms at the same time, fired at full power, and fired at him. Xie Qin simply raised his foot and stepped down. The seventh-level power ability stepped on the loose ground, and a small pit immediately appeared. Xie Qin sank a lot and perfectly avoided this wave of bullets.

Listening to the sound of bullets hitting metal, Xie Qin knew how tough these mechas were. He was not afraid of accidentally hurting his teammates. His brain was working quickly. The most important thing about the machine was the chip that controlled it. The whole body needed power to operate, and these things were most afraid of water and electricity that was seamlessly introduced.

Xie Qin in the pit raised his hands to the side before the machines came over. Water mist instantly began to condense around him. A large number of plants began to wither. All the water was drawn out, gradually forming water flows on the ground. The water mist in the air also condensed into water droplets that dripped down.

There seemed to be a sound when knocking on the mecha. Fortunately, there was enough water around, but the mecha didn't seem to be afraid of water and still ran towards him quickly.

When it was only about two meters away from Xie Qin, strong electricity flowed along the water on the ground and instantly entered the body of the mecha. As Xie Qin exerted force, the amplitude of the current became stronger and stronger. The mecha seemed unable to function independently and began to run around in place. In one go, Xie Qin turned his supernatural power, and the water flow was full of electric sparks visible to the naked eye.

The crackling sound in his ears gradually became stronger, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. Xie Qin jumped out of the ground. The mechas that were closer had already reached the bottom, while those that were a little further away were still moving around, unable to perform their mission.

The control distance of this kind of mecha would not be too far, so the person must be nearby, but he did not feel any fluctuation of mental power. As soon as he released his mental power, a familiar tinnitus instantly struck him, scaring Xie Qin so much that he quickly retracted his mental power.

I died from this thing in my previous life, so I must be more cautious next time. It's easy to guess that the people who came here already knew that I have psychic abilities.

Now, except for those close to him, almost no one knows what his real superpowers are. These mechas are more like testing him than attacking him.

But it must be said that this person's plan was very successful. In just a few minutes, he had used his space, fire, strength, water, and lightning abilities.

The psychic department didn't know if he had captured her, but it seemed that she no longer needed to hide. Because she found a self-destruct device on the fallen mecha that was comparable to a grenade. The other party seemed to know that she had the absolute strength to leave here, and was not stupid enough to detonate such a rare mecha to save her life.

Everything he did was a test, which made Xie Qin think of Lu Chaoyun. Perhaps only he could approach him quietly.

As if he was gambling, Xie Qin stood where he was and said something in a neither loud nor soft voice.

"Come out."

There were still no extra sounds around, only the crackling sound of electricity from the mecha. Xie Qin stood there, not in a bad state, only her slippers and body were stained with mud. Her hair, which had just been washed and blow-dried, was wet by the mist and obediently fell on her back. The few wet hair on her forehead did not affect her appearance at all.

The air was very humid and the temperature was high, making it feel like being in a sauna. It was very uncomfortable and Xie Qin had no patience.

He directly took out an assault rifle from the space and started shooting at the mecha that was farthest away. He did not shoot randomly, and every shot hit the grenade that came with the mecha.

It can be seen that these mechas are not cheap, and the cost and talent consumption are not small. Since he himself is reluctant to detonate them to test himself, let her help him.

After five shots, there was a loud bang and the mecha farthest away exploded. Although the range was not large, the mecha was instantly shattered into pieces and a small hole was blown out.

After the explosion, there was still no other sound. Xie Qin raised his assault rifle and began firing at the other mecha. Just after firing two shots, a roar similar to an air defense alarm was heard not far away.

Xie Qin put down his gun and looked at a large mecha that slowly emerged from the remaining firelight not far ahead. Xie Qin looked up along the mecha and saw a familiar person standing in the middle of the transparent central control panel in the middle of the mecha.

Xie Qin smiled contemptuously at the man. Finally, he could tell at a glance whether it was the real Lu Chaoyun.

The 15-meter-tall mecha came closer and closer. When it was about 10 meters away from Xie Qin, it knelt on one knee, and the mechanical arm stretched out its palm towards the central control in the middle of its body. The hatch of the central control opened, and the man looked at Xie Qin and smiled back. He slowly walked towards the palm of the mechanical arm.

Supported by his palm, he arrived steadily in front of Xie Qin.

"Nice to meet you, Xie Qin."

"Nice to meet you too, Lu Chaoyun."
