When Chen Yu passed through the passage and saw the scene in front of him, his entire body froze on the spot.
The barren land.
The dusty sky.
The collapsed and dilapidated skyscraper.
The overgrown asphalt road…
Everything was silent. Only the whistling north wind passed by hurriedly, composing a desolate and sorrowful song.
A touch of sadness, a touch of despair, unconsciously surged into Chen Yu’s chest.
What kind of declining world was this?
It was as if there was no hope at all…
Chen Yu took a few steps forward in a daze. When he turned around, shock could not help but flash past his eyes.
“This is… a spaceship?”
“So the metallic space in the alien realm is just the interior of a spaceship…”
“The real alien realm is outside…”
Clenching his Tang blade tightly, Chen Yu calmed his emotions and cautiously advanced forward to explore.
Similar to the interior of the spaceship, the outside world was also filled with radiation, but the density was hundreds of times higher. Even if ordinary people lived here, they would not die quickly.
The sky was filled with gray clouds of smoke, appearing heavy and oppressive.
The more Chen Yu looked, the more he felt that it was radiation dust…
Ten steps.
A hundred steps.
A thousand steps…
Before long, he passed through the cluster of withered leaves and weeds and arrived at the edge of the city where the ‘broken eaves and walls’ were.
Broken glass, convenience bags, and coke bottles could be seen everywhere on the cracked asphalt pavement.
Bending over, Chen Yu pulled out a green plate that was about to rust.
“Hu…”
Blowing away the dust, Chen Yu’s body instantly turned cold when he saw the words on the plate.
It was a bone-deep horror…
The first two digits on the plate were actually the Q of Jin..
The Q of Qing represented the Qingcheng City!
“…”
Standing where he was, Chen Yu was silent for a long time.
Clack.
Throwing away the license plate, he continued to move forward with a serious expression.
In the ruins, not a trace of the original appearance of Qingcheng could be seen.
Under the corrosion of time, other than glass, plastic, and other polymers, human civilization could not withstand a single blow.
Turning over the bricks and rubble, Chen Yu came to a relatively flat area and actually found a creature.
It was a cow.
It had a horn that shone with a metallic luster, and its size was comparable to an elephant.
At this moment, this cow was burying its head in grass. When it came into contact with the broken concrete, it unceremoniously bit down and swallowed it into its stomach.
“This horn seems to be able to be sold for money…”
As he was thinking, Chen Yu quietly raised his Tang blade and hid behind the giant cow. He slowly approached it for more than ten meters before suddenly unleashing all of his strength. Turning into a streak of light, he rushed to the back of the giant cow like a bolt of lightning.
Swish!
The Tang blade slashed down with an imposing manner!
As he wasn’t sure of the other party’s strength, Chen Yu used all of his strength to be cautious.
Puchi!
Blood and flesh splattered everywhere as the blade pointed.
The giant ox was cleanly sliced into two. Only its skin and flesh were left, and its internal organs, intestines, and dirty blood splattered all over the ground.
“Wu wu wu–”
The giant ox let out a few mournful wails and died while twitching.
Chen Yu: “…This Is It?”
It looked so scary. He had thought that it was a beast-level ferocious creature…
But in reality, it was only at the level of an elephant on Earth.
“So, this is a low-level martial world.”
As he pondered, Chen Yu cut off the two horns of the giant bull, put them into his bag, and continued to move forward.
Inside the spaceship, the passage leading to the outside world was covered with electric grids.
Unless one was a super expert, no one could pass through it.
Chen Yu was sure that he had enough time to explore.
“Eh?”
Suddenly, Chen Yu stopped in his tracks.
He saw something familiar.
A metal ball!
It was exactly the same as the interior of the spaceship.
However, the surface was damaged, as if it had been pierced by a sharp blade. Black oil dripped all over the ground.
He immediately walked forward, bent down, and reached out to twist the black oil.
“It didn’t solidify, it should have been damaged not long ago…”
“Something… killed it.”
Straightening up, Chen Yu gripped his sword tightly, and followed the traces of the rolling ‘metal ball’ as he explored forward.
Since there was an artificial intelligence that had been ‘killed’ here, there must be some that were still alive.
There were three main purposes for him to re-enter the alien realm.
First, to collect the ‘black oil’ to increase his strength.
Second, to search for the ‘complete illustration of human genes.’
Third, to search for the ‘Revival Potion.’
When the size of the alien realm was not limited to the small spaceship, Chen Yu had to find creatures that could communicate and find out where the so-called Area B was.
And the artificial intelligence was a very good target to ask..
After traveling for more than ten minutes, Chen Yu encountered a few more metal spheres.
Without exception, they were all ‘corpses.’
Some were still burning.
As he continued forward, there were more and more ‘corpses.’ Finally, Chen Yu arrived at a place that was similar to a village.
This was a place that was made up of branches, wood, and leaves.
Hundreds of metal balls died tragically here.
The grease dyed the ground black and mixed into a lump of mud.
A word flashed through Chen Yu’s mind —
Massacre.
Clang.
Clang…
Stepping on the metal balls that covered the ground, Chen Yu found a ‘good-looking’ one. He raised it and lightly knocked on it.
Clang, clang, clang.
A crisp metallic sound rang out. Chen Yu’s palm vaguely felt the vibration inside the ball.
Buzz… buzz…
“It’s still alive?!”
Chen Yu was surprised and quickly shook it. “Hey? Can you talk? Are you dead?”
Buzz– Buzz–
Two small red dots that looked like eyes suddenly appeared in the metallic ball’s direction and blinked.
Chen Yu also blinked and looked at it.
The metallic ball: “…”
Chen Yu: “…”
The metal ball: “…”
Chen Yu: “…”
“I… I…”
“What did you say?” Chen Yu immediately stuck his ear to it. “Speak louder.”
The metal sphere: “I… I’m too oily… splitting brigade… vomit!”
Chen Yu: “…You’d better speak Chinese.”
The metal sphere: “(X_X;)…”
Two balls of red light extinguished, and the metal sphere was completely dead.
Swish!
At this moment, a bright silver longsword was placed on Chen Yu’s neck.
Cold sweat rolled down Chen Yu’s forehead…
…
…
Note: the metal sphere said “What are you prepared to do” before it died
It came from the classic movie “Untouchable”, in which Connery was killed by a gangster assassin. Connery grabbed Kevin Costner’s lapel and said the lines before he died, causing Costner to no longer worry and determined to fight the gangsters to the end.
There was also this tribute in the movie “Kung Fu.”. The ghost said the same words before he died, which inspired the landlords and made them fight the axe gang.
