Post-Apocalyptic Survival Modpack

Chapter 83: Tide

Oswald looked at Wang Ji with slight surprise.

That was the first time he had seen confusion and bewilderment in the boy's eyes.

Although the two haven't known each other for very long.

"what happened?"

Wang Ji stammered, "I...you...you don't understand, it's hard for me to describe, this is very unusual..."

Oswald truly didn't understand Wang Ji's reaction. He said, "Haven't we encountered enough anomalies these past few days?"

Wang Ji shook his head: "This time is different."

The changes in these insects were so bizarre that they reminded him of something unpleasant, like the zombie with special characteristics from his memory.

It will be burned by the sun and harmed by healing potions.

Weird.

This virus seemed to have sprung up out of his mind.

Wang Ji's heart skipped a beat.

Was keeping those points a mistake?
Could the so-called Doomsday Points have some other purpose?
Oswald stared at the stunned Wang Ji for a while, then said:
“You are a leader, a representative and founder of the community. You have made the world what it is, and the world will stand behind you, including me.”

"Just tell me what's wrong, and I'll do my best."

Wang Ji calmed himself down and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing, I just thought of something."

"Let's finish what's in front of us first, then we can talk about yours. Didn't you have something to say to me?"

"it is good."

Oswald nodded and immediately joined the effort to deal with the underground insectoid infection.

He began to retrieve world records.

"These signs are likely to appear alongside insomnia."

Two of them can appear at the same time?

Wang Ji felt something was off, but he remained focused on the task at hand and said:

"Let's resolve this quickly. The subterranean insectoids are a group with great research value, and they are also well-suited to a symbiotic relationship with humans. I don't really want to see them go extinct."

Osvid nodded: "I agree with you, but this is indeed... a bit troublesome."

"It's not just the insect nests on the surface; the main insect home base beneath the Great Rift is even more severely infected, and that's the real disaster area."

"The infected aberrant worms are found deep underground all over the world, from south to north, and many are still burrowing to the surface, heading straight for densely populated towns."

"Perhaps in a few days, the insect infestation will begin."

Wang Ji's heart tightened.

Are they all over the earth?

That's more than just 'a little troublesome'.

"give it to me."

Oswald agreed, saying, "I have said that the 'world' is on our side, and I am on your side as well."

"Come on, cooperate with me..."

The high priest murmured, raising his somewhat withered hand and gently grasping it.

Wang Ji's brow twitched, and he quickly activated the magic net.

A barrage of warnings from the magic network flooded Wang Ji's screen.

According to observations, a massive, worldwide magical tide, stirred by something, is sweeping across the land from south to north, leaving no blind spots in the sky or on the ground.

hum-

As the tide of magic swept over the area where the two were, the magic network issued a rather sharp warning and then lost contact. The physical network, however, remained unaffected and could still be used.

Snapped!
The mutated insect swarm beneath their feet suddenly exploded one after another, dying without a struggle. Then, a blue-purple flame ignited on their bodies, engulfing them completely and turning them into ashes that were buried in the earth.

Wang Ji recognized it as a captivating magical fire, powerful in nature, capable of burning and heating without air, and often used for smelting under specific conditions.

The magical tide surged and rolled behind them.

The Magic Network has been restored, but the signal is still intermittent.

Oswald floated in mid-air, as if in a daze.

Wang Ji looked at Oswald, his eyes filled with undisguised surprise.

As I looked at it, suddenly, a new element of mysticism was revealed.

Ninth-order element: Annihilation.

Not just one, not just one.

There are other elements, but they cannot be analyzed with current knowledge. It's quite mysterious.

This surprised Wang Ji in every sense.

The sun gradually moves to a different position.

Oswald just stood there, motionless for a long time, as if he were AFK.

Wang Ji didn't disturb him, but he really couldn't wait any longer. The community had many affairs to attend to and couldn't afford to waste time here.

He assigned some people to keep an eye on things there, and then he left.

The aberrant insect infestation is being gradually resolved and eradicated.

Wang Ji also witnessed what a Grand Master was and what world-class power was.

In comparison, the so-called high-level magic users are simply a bunch of lowly scoundrels.

They, including Wang Ji, all need to use their own internal or external magic power to cast spells, and their maximum output also has an upper limit, which can only be increased little by little.

Oswald, on the other hand, doesn't need magical reserves; in other words, the entire world is his reserve.

As for spell level and damage output limit—it's whatever the world allows for the maximum damage output.

This can no longer be defined using terms like low-order, mid-order, or high-order.

Wang Ji suddenly realized something.

With his innate talent for perceiving the origins of things, Oswald will always remain at the top of the world; the progress of the world is his progress.

It can be said that Osvid wanted the world to prosper more than anyone else.

Similarly, he's more anxious than anyone else about the world being destroyed.

The magical tide continues, and cleaning up an entire world takes a very long time; it cannot be completed in a short period of time.

Taking advantage of this time, Wang Ji continued to push forward the coverage of the material network, constantly producing wireless access nodes and signal amplifiers to connect the whole world.

Countless engineers were mobilized to learn how to lay and build ME networks, and towns and cities began a storage revolution.

It can be said that wherever the material network covers, everyone can share a portion of Wang Ji's abilities to a certain extent, like receiving a bundled package with many modules.

As long as one is ambitious enough and willing to learn and improve, this privilege will continue to be opened up, making its freedom higher and stronger, infinitely close to the ultimate state.

But all of this will take time.

time…

In the blink of an eye, another day has passed.

Night falls again.

After a day of adjustment, people seemed to have gotten used to the days without rest.

The bed was left unused; the time that was once spent sleeping was now being used for other activities.

The saying "rest at sunset and work at sunrise" has become history.

This time, it was Wang Ji who was somewhat unaccustomed to it.

In the past, when night fell and everything was quiet, it was difficult to find someone to talk to or discuss anything with. Unless it was something important, Wang Ji was too embarrassed to wake people up.

This situation has disappeared in the last two days. Now, whenever I want, I can find someone to discuss things with or chat with.

And here comes Ryder.

"what--"

In an experimental chamber of the Four Towers of Miracles in the old capital, Ryder walked out yawning and happened to run into Wang Ji.

Seeing his appearance, Wang Ji couldn't help but ask, "Why do you look so listless? Did you forget to take your medicine?"

"No."

Ryder rubbed his eyes, stretched comfortably, and said, "I just had a nap, and I'm still a little out of it."

Wang Ji's expression was strange: "Sleep?"

Ryder immediately laughed and said, "Yes, sleeping, and really asleep. This is the result of the Archmage's research. I am currently the first and only test subject."

"In other words, I might be the only person in the world who has actually slept in the last two days. Hehe, I feel a strange sense of accomplishment."

"I hope this technology can be successfully developed."

"Although it's not so bad that everyone is staying up all night right now, at least it gives people more options instead of forcing them to give up, right?"

Wang Ji nodded: "That makes sense."

"You are all here."

Just as the two were talking, a voice came from outside.

It was Oswald.
