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

Chapter 330: Doomsday Wasteland (VI) (Additional update, 3K+)

Watching Liu Sheng cleanly chop off a strange creature with a white mycelium head with one sword, Qiao Yu finally put aside his worries.

Liu Sheng seemed... to no longer need her protection.

Liu Sheng dug out the black crystal from his brain with familiarity, walked towards the still stunned Qiao Yu, and handed it to her.

"Now I have paid off what I owe you!" Liu Sheng said.

Qiao Yu knew that Liu Sheng was referring to the big bag of crystals.

After all, it took Qiao Yu a lot of days to collect them, so Liu Sheng insisted on collecting the same amount and returning it to Qiao Yu before leaving.

During this period, Liu Sheng also waited for news from Senior Sister Nangong.

Qiao Yu nodded, took the crystal, and then walked ahead silently.

It has been the third day since we were trapped in Dongzhao City.

Liu Sheng followed Qiao Yu around the streets every day, helping Qiao Yu collect supplies, killing monsters by the way, and understanding the characteristics of the monsters here.

When passing by bookstores, libraries, etc., Liu Sheng would go in and search everything and share it with the world.

In this way, I finally gained a deeper understanding of the "world" beneath my feet.

That night, after eating the finally found old-style pickled cabbage beef noodles, the two ended a fulfilling day with this delicacy.

And Liu Sheng finally received the message from Ling Xiaoshu before going to bed.

She could finally set off.

……

The next morning, when Liu Sheng got up, Qiao Yu was nowhere to be seen.

A dark green backpack was placed at the end of the bed, bulging with food and drinking water, with a bag of crystals stuffed deep inside.

Liu Sheng looked at it and fell silent.

I guess this was specially prepared for her by Qiao Yu.

In the end, Liu Sheng left silently without taking his backpack.

It’s better to leave these things to Qiao Yu. After all, she still has to survive here.

Liu Sheng also kept the strange weapon he collected [Zhang Hengyuan's custom-made lantern].

There are many natural monsters in this world that have evolved from animals and plants. This kind of weapon specifically targeting plant-type monsters should be useful to Qiao Yu, and it can also be activated with strange energy, which is perfect for him.

In fact, Liu Sheng once asked Qiao Yu if she wanted to go with her, but Qiao Yu refused.

There was deep fear in Qiao Yu's eyes at that time.

Over the years, she has seen too many times that her relatives and friends resolutely entered the Great Rift Valley in order to leave this place, and never returned.

Although Qiao Yu is not a timid person, she is used to doing whatever it takes to survive.

Then she would naturally not put herself in a desperate situation for an unknown future.

In the end, just as Qiao Yu would not persuade Liu Sheng to stay, Liu Sheng would not persuade Qiao Yu to leave with her.

Therefore, Qiao Yu chose to go out early in the morning.

Liu Sheng used his little tentacles to watch her back as she left the house, and said goodbye silently in his heart.

……

Liu Sheng headed towards Red Star City according to the newly collected more accurate map.

Now that she has recovered her cultivation, she has even made further progress in these three days and entered the fourth level of Qi Refining Stage. According to the conversion formula, Liu Sheng has already stepped half a foot into the Mingzhen Realm.

Liu Sheng stepped on the spirit sword. As energy was input, the fancy flying function designed by Ling Fu was activated. The spirit sword flickered under her feet and carried her flying in the air.

Looking down from the air, the city in front of us was shrouded in the red dawn. The dilapidated buildings seemed to be soaked in blood, and the streets were like winding scars crisscrossing the ground.

Many buildings have collapsed, revealing twisted steel bars and broken walls. The once bustling commercial district is now empty, with broken glass walls and messy shops. The trees in the park are withered, the fountains have long dried up, and the ponds are filled with black sewage.

Liu Sheng slowly passed through an abandoned residential area, where traces of former life were still vaguely visible.

There were dried clothes left on the balcony, most of the windows were broken, the furniture in the house was toppled over, and abandoned toys and photos could be seen in some rooms, as if these people had suddenly disappeared at some moment, leaving behind a world frozen in time.

Flying higher, Liu Sheng could see farther.

On the edge of the city, the ruins of an industrial area looked particularly eerie in the blood, like a lurking beast. However, there was a deep ditch in the middle, cutting the ferocious beast in two.

The black fog in the deep ditch formed a high wall, towering into the clouds, separating the two sides of the ditch like an insurmountable barrier.

The black fog rolled like a substance, and the thick strange aura kept twisting and changing, emitting low roars and groans, as if it was hiding countless unknown terrifying creatures.

Just by watching from a distance, Liu Sheng could feel a chill rising from the bottom of her heart, as if an invisible monster was trying to invade her mind through this scene.

She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, lowered her body and stopped looking.

As he flew at a low altitude, Liu Sheng saw some strange creatures wandering around the streets occasionally. They were lingering in the shadows, as if looking for prey.

She stretched out her small golden tentacle and struck directly at the monster's brain, extracting the crystal from it.

But if the level difference is too big, Liu Sheng will naturally stay away from it.

Time is running out now, so it’s better to do less than more.

When she finally flew to the edge of the city, the high wall of black fog standing above the deep ditch was finally in sight.

Liu Sheng looked at the high wall of black fog, and an inexplicable fear surged in her heart, gripping her heart.

Distorted shadows were vaguely visible in the black fog, as if countless pairs of eyes were staring at her, spying on her every move, waiting for the opportunity to drag her into the abyss.

But there was no point in being afraid, she had to cross it to reach Red Star City.

to go home.

Ling Xiaoshu appeared beside her, also staring at the huge rift valley shrouded in dark fog.

"Sister, the things in here... are really scary." Ling Xiaoshu said in a low voice, and the little tentacles were twisting restlessly on Liu Sheng's shoulders, as if feeling the terrifying aura in the black fog.

Liu Sheng looked back at the city behind him, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

In a trance, I seemed to see something.

But upon closer inspection, there wasn't.

It seemed like it was just her illusion.

That’s all. Liu Sheng turned around, wielded his magic sword and flew forward with Ling Xiaoshu.

The two figures gradually disappeared into the black fog, and only the spirit sword drew a golden mark in the darkness.

……

In the black fog, it was indeed difficult to distinguish east, west, south, and north. It was filled with thick strange air, and the ubiquitous whispers disturbed Liu Sheng's thinking. The deeper he flew, the spirit sword was pressed down by the strange air, gradually becoming as heavy as lead, and finally losing the ability to fly.

Liu Sheng and Ling Xiaoshu were forced to land at the bottom of the valley.

However, when he reached the bottom of the valley, Liu Sheng could clearly feel that the black fog was no longer just a strange aura.

There is even a faint sacred air.

However, the black fog was still very heavy. It not only penetrated, invaded and affected the mind, but also gave off a sticky and evil gaze and whispers, which made Liu Sheng feel dazed for a moment.

Fortunately, Liu Sheng still had the soul amulet given by Qiao Yu.

Put one on to refresh your mind.

As for the problem of not knowing the direction, the world can solve it.

It will not be disturbed by these factors. As long as it identifies a direction, it can guide Liu Sheng forward.

However, these are only the shallowest dangers of the Great Rift Valley.

What is even more dangerous are the creatures that have been following Liu Sheng quietly.

It seemed that those gazes and whispers came from them.

Originally Liu Sheng thought that, just as Qiao Yu said, those were all strange things.

However, when these creatures gathered more and more and surrounded Liu Sheng densely, Liu Sheng realized that these were not strange creatures at all.

But...

Humanity.

Ling Xiaoshu whispered: "Sister, they...are so ugly."

indeed.

At this time, Liu Sheng was shocked when he looked at their appearance.

His face was pale and bloodless, with only a rotten scalp and some remaining hair left on his head. His eyeballs were still moving flexibly in his eye sockets, revealing his desire for Liu Sheng and his fear of her.

Their tongues had rotted, so they could not speak, but grumbling sounds mixed with phlegm kept coming from their throats, interweaving into a whisper.

There was only a thin layer of skin left on their bodies, stretched over their skeletons, and even covered with pus-like fungi and spores. Their joints were swollen and they could only move stiffly.

If it weren't for the world's reminder, Liu Sheng would never regard these as human beings.

[Their souls and consciousness are still there, although they are distorted, but it can be said that they are still alive. ]

Liu Sheng was shocked.

"How can this be?"

[Of course it is possible, because this Great Rift Valley is probably not a place where strange energy gathers. ]

[On the contrary, it is a place where divine energy leaks. ]

[Therefore, these dead people who were supposed to become monsters were infected by the divine energy and were reborn as humans again.]

"But this inhuman and inhuman appearance..."

[They had no choice but to be forced to resurrect. ]

"So, what exactly is this Great Rift Valley?"

[You can think of this as the stretch marks of the planet.]

"The stretch marks on the planet?" Liu Sheng suddenly realized, "So, that God was conceived inside the planet? As He grew, the surface of the planet couldn't bear the weight and cracks appeared?"

In other words, the sacred core where the small tentacle's body is located is actually right under your feet!
No wonder she appeared here from the Sacred Core.

[Yes...it seems that the so-called sacred embryo was born with the help of such a planet.]

“Or, only by creating such a doomsday can the sacred embryo be born…” Liu Sheng said thoughtfully.

[Not ruled out.]

However, knowing this doesn’t mean much to Liu Sheng for the time being.

Because these people, who could be called "living dead", gathered more and more, getting closer and closer to Liu Sheng, and the desire in their eyes became more and more naked.

Liu Sheng finally realized that they really wanted her.

They are human beings, so they need food.

But here they were, with no other food.

No wonder many people’s skin and flesh have signs of being torn, and most people are left with only fascia covering their bones.

So Liu Sheng had no choice but to take action.

The golden tentacles on his body stretched out like vines, whipping the half-dead people around him away.

But as she went deeper, she realized that these living dead were more than just individuals.

She began to see fused bodies.

Now surrounding Liu Sheng is a circle of living dead that are the fusion of two or three human bodies. They are biting and fighting each other, neither of them will give in, and no one can kill the other. In the end, due to long-term adhesion, they grow together and form this weird appearance.

Although each one was not strong, there were so many of them that even Liu Sheng could not rely solely on his small tentacles to deal with them. He swung the spirit sword in his hand and easily chopped off their heads. Ling Xiaoshu also had to pull out her branches to strangle these fused versions of the living dead.

"It seems that you are quite skilled now."

As the figures crossed each other, Liu Sheng looked at Ling Xiaoshu's now skilled strangling technique and nodded with emotion.

"Of course, Teacher Nangong has given me some intensive training these days." Ling Xiaoshu said proudly.

When the last fusion person fell, Liu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked back at the way she had come.

Now it is obscured by black fog, and it is difficult to see clearly, and there is no sound either.

Liu Sheng frowned worriedly, but finally made up his mind.

He paused, turned around, and ran back quickly.

Ling Xiaoshu asked in confusion: "Sister, isn't Red Star City in this direction?"

"No." Liu Sheng shook his head.

"That……"

"I'm going to find someone who shouldn't be here."
