The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 1174 Blazing Golden Crow
Everyone looked at Greerman, their expressions complicated for a moment.

Fortunately, Greerman is actually quite docile; it's just that years of distorted imprisonment have rendered her incapable of thinking.

When everyone found her earlier, they saw that she was still being bullied by the monster. Her huge body had lost its power and could only cover its head and be beaten. It was heartbreaking to see her like that.

However, her body also unknowingly crushed many strange creatures to death.

The campfire card was obtained from a purple treasure chest near her. There was also a powerful healing card, which was just right for Ariel, whose intestines were spilling out, and saved his life.

Greta's luck is truly unparalleled.

Unfortunately, she was oblivious.

No one could bear to leave her alone in the cold night.

On the colorful planet, they were enemies, but here, they became kindred spirits and natural allies.

What's more, she can also help Liu Sheng take care of the children.

Liu Sheng glanced at the child sleeping soundly in Greerman's thick, fleshy arms.

She was initially worried about how to take care of the child.

As a result, Greerman, who was originally teary-eyed from being hit by the monster, stared wide-eyed at the child on Liu Sheng's back, and her tears stopped flowing, freezing into a lump in the wrinkles of her face.

The child also inexplicably became close to her, reaching out to hug her.

Liu Sheng tentatively brought the child to Greerman's eyes, and the child was immediately pulled into her soft, fleshy arms.

There was also a fleshy tube, like an umbilical cord, placed near the child's mouth. The child bit down on it and sucked on it, giggling.

She was happy even though she drank Liu Sheng's blood.

But he didn't show any signs of satisfaction, and even went to sleep after drinking without making any more noise.

The group managed to fill their stomachs with the dry rations and were finally able to get some rest.

With his companions there and the child in the house, the house was essentially a natural safe haven.

However, we cannot stay here for long.

We always have to go out and find supplies.

There is only one ability card left, and only Li Ming has regained his ability—although it is the most important ability for the team.

Judging from their popularity, they've probably reached their limit with two purple treasure chests nearby, and haven't seen a single orange one yet.

I'm afraid we'll have to search in more distant places.

Liu Sheng also needs more materials.

Along the way, while searching for teammates, they also scavenged some scrap metal, managing to find some usable pieces.

But for her, that wasn't enough.

Especially if it is to fulfill her grand vision.

……

I don't know how long I rested.

After all, in the cold night, one loses track of day and night, and the passage of time. The Sword Immortal Taibai woke up out of habit, went downstairs to eat half a compressed biscuit, and sadly patted his empty belly.

"I estimate I'll lose weight after this trip."

"If you lose weight, you might be able to improve your kendo even further."

Only Li Ming would say something like that.

The Taibai Sword Immortal clutched his stomach and exclaimed, "That won't do! Swords and delicious food are equally important; we can't favor one over the other!"

"Right, Little Orchid?"

The "little orchid" refers to Zhang Lan.

After absorbing the gardener's bounty, her life energy recovered considerably. Although she had no additional abilities, she was still capable of fighting.

At that moment, she was watching Greerman play with the children.

He was lost in thought for a moment and did not answer Taibai Sword Immortal's question.

Everyone's eyes unconsciously followed the direction, and they suddenly realized what was happening.

Ariel murmured, "Is it my imagination? Or is it true—the child seems to have grown up a bit?"

“You’re not mistaken.” Li Ming nodded.

Zhang Lan, having been a mother herself, has some experience. "Yesterday she looked like she wasn't even a year old yet, but now she must be two."

"Is this Griman's ability?" Taibai Sword Immortal exclaimed in surprise.

“Not only that, this child is special too.” Li Ming shook his head. “As for her age, she’s probably already way older than anyone else. She’s just spending the same day over and over again in this cold night. She should have grown up long ago.”

"Wouldn't Bialier be quite old in a few days?"

"It's not impossible."

Taibai Sword Immortal laughed and slapped Ariel hard:

"Remember to call me 'sister' then."

Ariel was visibly shaken and grimaced when photographed.

His strength has not yet recovered, and his body has just recovered from a major injury. How could he withstand the blow from the Taibai Sword Immortal, which was full of sword energy?
Taibai Sword Immortal quickly apologized.

Ariel said through tears that he was alright.

At this moment, Liu Sheng walked into the house, covered in black and gray snow, his lips turning slightly purple from the cold.

"Why have you been out all this time? Haven't you slept?" Li Ming frowned, flicked his fingers, and a wisp of dragon energy gently embraced Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng finally felt a touch of warmth, and his meridians felt nourished. His lips trembled as he was able to speak:
"It's nothing, time is of the essence."

“But we still need to rest,” Zhang Lan said, shaking the flowers.

"It's alright," Liu Sheng said, "I already know where the other treasure chests are. Let's set off together if everyone is ready."

"That's amazing?"

"It really is Sheng Sheng!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Liu."

When everyone went outside, they saw three small flying machines of different shapes hovering overhead, and they knew that they were all "flying swords" made by Liu Sheng.

Because of limited materials and the lack of smelting tools, they could only be pieced together, so their appearance was naturally inconsistent.

Zhang Lan looked at Liu Sheng's dark circles and said worriedly:

"Sheng'er, you haven't been resting at all, have you?"

Liu Sheng shook his head: "It's alright, let's quickly take everything we can, loot this place, and then we can go somewhere else."

Without further hesitation, the group split into three teams based on their overall strength.

Li Ming led Liu Hongshan, Taibai Sword Immortal led Ariel and Zhang Lan, and Liu Sheng led Griman and the child.

They split up and followed the "flying sword" to search for treasure chests.

Although neither Liu Sheng nor Greman had regained their additional abilities, Liu Sheng already had the help of her small tentacles and "the world," while Greman had the advantage of being larger. In addition, the child had a mysterious aura, so they managed to get through the journey without any major incidents.

They quickly found everyone they needed to find.

Liu Sheng even found an epic treasure chest and opened it to obtain:
【Alloy Bracers】: Made of hard material, it can increase attack power by 10%; it can emit a light shield to block one attack, with a cooldown time of 5 minutes. Its strength exceeds that of the light shield defense by 150% and cannot be blocked.

[Fear Scream Card]: Emits a cone-shaped sonic shockwave, causing those hit to experience brief panic until interrupted by an attack.

[Ability Card]: Can restore one additional ability.

She glanced thoughtfully at the expressions falling from her head, realizing it was probably because her method of searching for someone yesterday had inexplicably attracted attention and slightly boosted her popularity.

So the treasure chest has respawned.

In short, all three items are good.

After everyone had gathered and reaped their rewards, Liu Sheng gave the wristbands and ability cards to Liu Hongshan.

She is an extremely skilled fighter, and this wristband, which is both offensive and defensive, is perfect for her.

As for the ability card, it just happens to restore her [War Center] ability.

"War Link" is a good skill.

With all personnel sharing vision, tactical information, and crisis awareness, coordination efficiency is increased by 100% and reaction speed is greatly enhanced during collective operations.

It can also regulate pain and fear, although there are certainly limits.

Li Ming's SkyNet has enhanced its links, and "The World" has improved its computing and analytical capabilities, making this capability even more formidable.

Not to mention the active skill "Tactical Deduction," which forces a deep analysis and deduction, proving useful in extremely complex group battles.

The survival skills of everyone in the "New World" have been enhanced once again.

Li Ming and Liu Hongshan were even luckier.

I found a legendary orange treasure chest.

In addition to high-energy nutritional capsules, water purification tablets, and hemostatic kits, there are also:
[Foldable Tactical Windbreaker]: Warm and windproof, offering a certain level of protection, with simple internal straps and hidden pockets. Wearing it will at least make you look presentable.

[Exorcism Card]: Releases a circle of pure light, briefly dispelling low-level evil spirits and evil energy pollution, lasting for 3 minutes.

[Temporary Safe House Card]: Generates a safe house that provides shelter, warmth, and basic protection. The maximum number of people is 8, and the duration is 8 hours—don't even think about it lasting longer, get back to work.

[Lightning Chain Card]: Releases a chain of electric arcs that can jump to up to 5 targets.

[Ability Card]: Need I say more?

This ability card was ultimately given to Taibai Sword Immortal.

If we're talking about the strongest fighter, it has to be him.

Although people generally don't use swords.

However, active invocation skills like "Taibai Sword Heart" can be used by everyone in the Faith Connection Network, and can be considered a trump card move in battle.

Li Ming's "tactical simulation" also falls into this category.

When the two are combined, they are even more invincible.

The three Taibai Sword Immortals weren't so lucky.

We didn't find any chests of epic rarity or higher, but we opened a lot of "blue sky and white clouds" chests, which provided everyone with some food, warm clothes, flashlights, matches, and so on.

Overall, the results this time were quite good.

It was obvious to the naked eye that the New World was much more popular, with many expressions of surprise, curiosity, and observation appearing on people's faces.

In addition, Liu Sheng also brought back a "big item".

After everyone divided the spoils—no, after the distribution was complete—she went back to her work.

"Sheng'er, do you need any help?" Zhang Lan asked.

She knows some of the arts of craftsmanship.

Moreover, there are many "hands".

She also helped complete the previous probes. With the guidance of "The World" and Liu Sheng, there shouldn't be any problems.

The others watched with curiosity as Liu Sheng crawled in and out of a rusty, dilapidated train.

"Sure, help me clean the inside. This thing got all filthy from being corroded in the cold night—it's a pity my cultivation hasn't recovered yet, so I can't use the cleansing spell."

"Row."

Everyone agreed.

They all took out the scraps of cloth they had collected, soaked them in the dirty snow water, and helped clean up.

The stools inside were made of metal and were covered in rust, some even with holes from decay.

There was no cushion to be found, and everything was deteriorating rapidly in the cold night; the fibers of fabrics had already eroded and broken.

Just remove them all.

Just change them all to standing positions.

Fortunately, the train's outer shell is made of a very strong alloy, so the corrosion situation is not too bad.

Unfortunately, many of the parts inside were damaged to varying degrees. Liu Sheng is repairing them one by one and adding some "personal items".

Ariel exclaimed, "What a huge vehicle! It should be able to fit all of us plus Greerman..."

As they were talking, they saw Liu Sheng dragging over another carriage.

Their eyes widened in surprise.

Do we need so many cars?

The Sword Immortal Taibai gestured with his chin in one direction, "There are still quite a few passengers over there."

Ariel looked over and was startled.

Several figures stood indistinctly in the dark street corner, looking at this side with a mixture of timidity and curiosity, yet hesitant to come closer.

They're all monsters!

“They were all picked up by Sheng Sheng along the way,” Li Ming said softly, his eyes filled with admiration and complex emotions, “just like Liu Changsheng.”

"Liu Changsheng" is the child being tossed around by Greerman on the porch. He has grown a bit and looks about three years old. He can talk and walk now, and it's time for him to have a proper name.

The name was accepted by both the child and his adoptive mother, Greerman.

Grimman, who had never been able to speak much, began to murmur the word "immortality" over and over again.

"As expected of Lord Liu!" Ariel exclaimed with great admiration.

"That's why people say we're 'bleeding hearts'," the Taibai Sword Immortal said with a chuckle.

“It takes skill to do that! These monsters just attack us the moment they see us,” Ariel said, still feeling a sharp pain in his abdomen as if another axe had slashed into it. “Who would have thought we could communicate with them? Or even be moved to follow us?”

“Moreover, she hasn’t regained any of her additional abilities.” Li Ming’s gaze was solemn. “This means that this is her innate ability, to see the location of the obsession of the strange creatures and sever that obsession.”

"Once the obsession that relentlessly drags people into the abyss is removed, these strange creatures are actually just ordinary humans who have only become like this because of the arrival of the cold night."

Ariel opened his mouth.

He thought of his grandfather.

Thinking of his little horse—Zaukhar.

And then there were so many others—who eventually became companions, relatives, or even complete strangers to the monsters.

Even if... you've already fallen into the abyss, leaving only twisted obsessions and insane desires, isn't there, deep down—in that place no one can see and you yourself are unaware of—a hope that someone can lend you a hand?
How to pull yourself out of that hellish abyss?

Before I knew it, my face was wet.

Because of the cold weather, the frost froze on his face, and he hurriedly wiped it off, but his face stung.

Looking around, thankfully no one saw him crying.

Although he is still physically young.

But after experiencing so much, Ariel always felt that she was no longer a child and shouldn't cry so easily.

Li Ming actually saw it, but she didn't expose it.

She understands that children care about their image.

He simply urged:
"It's cold here, you should go back and cultivate. Your injuries haven't healed yet."

Ariel nodded.

He also wanted to recover his strength as soon as possible so that he could be of help. There weren't many ability cards available, so it wasn't his turn yet. He had to work hard on his cultivation as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Skynet's energy has become much stronger now.

He estimated that with a little more effort, he could break through to the first level of Qi Refining.

The Taibai Sword Immortal didn't understand the art of craftsmanship, and besides standing aside and nagging annoyingly, he couldn't help at all.

He was urged by everyone to go back to cultivate, as he was the strongest fighter; the stronger he became, the stronger the entire team would become.

In the end, only Li Ming remained standing there, watching Liu Sheng, Zhang Lan, and Liu Hongshan who were busy at work.

In her eyes, countless golden threads intertwined into a net.

The energy emanating from them connects with those figures cautiously hiding in the dark corners of the streets.

Liu Sheng was implicated in countless other matters.

It shone as brightly as a blazing golden crow in the darkness.
