Mechanic endlessly amassing troops in the apocalypse

Chapter 103 Spatial Fusion (4k)

Rennes Armory.

The enclosed office was filled with the smell of smoke.

Fox was pacing back and forth in his office.

Li Fei sat on the sofa opposite him, his clothes looking fairly neat, but two battered mechanical gorillas stood beside him.

"Brother, that's the situation." Li Fei's voice carried a hint of unconcealed fatigue. "I didn't expect the situation to get out of control like this."

"This is indeed a serious matter." Fox stopped and frowned, considering the situation carefully. "Xinhe has gone mad. I'm afraid I can't get involved in this."

Upon hearing this, Li Fei simply nodded. If it were him, he wouldn't stand up against the ruler of a planet for someone he had just met.

"It's alright, I understand. I'll remember this favor, brother. Don't worry, I won't be a burden to you."

He had already decided to go to the apocalypse to hide. Anyway, it was relatively stable there now, and he had a large force that he could develop safely for a long time. He could wait until he reached level 19 before thinking about how to advance to the next level.

No matter how crazy Xinhe is, the alliance can't really let it go; it's a matter of lives in a small town.

Fox shook his head, picked up the decanted red wine on the table, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp. "Favors are a small matter. I originally wanted to use you to get in touch with the Kurokawa family." He put the empty wine glass back on the table, looked up at Li Fei, and said, "How about this, brother, I'll help you one last time."

"Oh?" Li Fei's eyes lit up, and without any hesitation, he asked directly, "Please go ahead, brother."

"Satellite City 7 is basically a one-man show by Xinhe, but Fog City is different." Fox tapped the map with his finger and said in a deep voice, "It's jointly controlled by three major forces, with deeply entrenched interests. Even if Xinhe had the audacity, they wouldn't dare to act recklessly there. I can safely escort you into Fog City, but—"

These words solved Li Fei's biggest worry.

To advance in rank, he must enter the city; he cannot hide in the apocalypse forever.

If Xinhe discovers he's still alive, he'll surely lay a trap throughout the entire satellite city. Fog City is far away, and going there alone would be tantamount to walking into a trap. Now that Fox is willing to help, that's naturally the best outcome.

He suppressed the turmoil in his heart and looked up at Fox: "Brother, if you have any concerns, feel free to speak your mind."

Fox nodded with difficulty. "This period is definitely the craziest time for Xinhe, so you have to go out and hide for a while. A month later, I will have a shipment of goods sent to Fog City. At that time, you can go with my team. That team is the transport team of Taylor Industries. Xinhe will definitely not dare to do anything reckless."

Li Fei only considered it for a moment before nodding in agreement: "No problem. I will not set foot in the Rennes Armory for the next month, and I will not cause you any trouble. After a month, I'll have to trouble you, brother."

Upon hearing this, Fox smiled and immediately extended his hand: "Okay! It's a deal then, see you in a month."

Li Fei shook hands with him in surprise, wondering why he felt the man couldn't wait for him to leave. But on the surface, he said, "Brother, I have another favor to ask."

"Tell me about it," Fox said.

"I want to buy another batch of parts." This time, Li Fei didn't mention borrowing them. He still had a lot of crystal cores on him, which he could easily use to buy them. Compared to star coins, favors were much harder to repay.

Upon hearing that it was a business deal, Fox didn't hesitate and immediately agreed. "How much do you need? Tell Lao Wu, and I'll have him take the parts with you to hide in the wilderness."

Seeing Fox's impatient look, Li Fei was both amused and exasperated, but he could understand. No one knew when Xinhe's people would come looking for him, and if he were caught red-handed at the Raine Armory, he would be implicated.

Without further pleasantries, Li Fei immediately contacted Lao Wu and sent him the parts list.

This time, he didn't have a lot of crystal cores. He only ordered two sets of core components for the mechanical gorilla, plus thirty sets of matching parts for the mechanical leopard.

Old Wu acted quickly, packing and sealing all the parts in less than two hours. He then drove the hovercar to take Li Fei to the wilderness on the edge of the desert.

The car came to a stop, and Lao Wu jumped out. He frowned and glanced around at the endless Gobi Desert. There wasn't even a cave to shelter him in. His face was full of worry: "Brother Fei, you're just hiding here? Are you really sure it's alright?"

Li Fei smiled and patted his arm: "Don't worry, Lao Wu, I have somewhere to go. You should go back now. Fox definitely doesn't want to have too much to do with me right now. Don't let him have any more complaints about you because of me."

Old Wu sighed heavily, his dark face full of helplessness: "Sigh, I really can't help you much."

.

"You've already been a great help," Li Fei said with a smile.

Old Wu gave a wry smile and said, "Brother Fei, I can only wish you good luck."

After saying that, he boarded the hovercar.

Li Fei stood still, watching the hovercar slowly rise into the air.

At this moment, the rising sun is climbing over the desert horizon, its golden rays spilling down and covering the entire Gobi Desert.

But Li Fei felt no warmth at all.

Familiar faces from the town flashed uncontrollably through his mind.

Lawrence, Chen Zhe, Meng Nan, Jasmine ———

I hope nothing bad happens to them.

Li Fei silently recited a sentence in his heart, but he also knew that he could only think about it now. Worrying would not help, and he had to run for his life.

He shook his head vigorously, suppressing those useless emotions, and raised his hand to activate the teleportation array in his palm.

The psionic patterns spread rapidly across the Gobi Desert. After a ten-second countdown, the array shone brightly. He first teleported all the parts boxes to the safe warehouse in the apocalypse.

But just then, a sharp shriek came from above.

"That voice is—?"

Li Feisheng had a bad feeling. He looked up and saw several missiles with trailing flames streaking across the morning sky, heading straight for Old Wu's hovercar that had just flown away!

Old Wu!!

Li Fei's eyes widened in fury, and a deafening explosion resounded in the distant sky.

Flames and black smoke billowed up, and the hovercar instantly disintegrated in the explosion, plummeting towards the ground.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen hovercars painted with the logo of Xinhe Force swarmed towards the crash site.

Xinhe!

Li Fei's teeth were clenched so tightly they were grinding together. If he rushed forward now, he would not only fail to avenge Lao Wu, but he would also lose his own life. Li Fei's cheeks were almost bleeding from being bitten, but he also knew that going there now would not make any difference.

He closed his eyes, forcibly suppressing the surging anger, and turned around to step onto the still-present teleportation array.

With a thought, spiritual energy was activated, and the Gobi Desert landscape before him instantly distorted and changed.

When I opened my eyes again, the familiar warehouse ceiling came into view, the air was filled with the familiar smell of machine oil and metal, and the parts boxes that had just been delivered were neatly stacked on the floor.

Li Fei slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. In the end, he was still too weak.

If it could be even stronger—

He shook his head sharply, trying to dispel these thoughts.

Regret is useless; only becoming stronger is useful.

The next second, a surge of powerful mechanical energy erupted from his body.

Metal parts on the ground rose into the air and were rapidly assembled, with a constant clicking sound.

In just half an hour, all the mechanical creations were completed.

Li Fei stared at the mechanical legion before him, his eyes dark and brooding.

Having a dedicated parts warehouse and assembly line is indeed much more convenient. If he can build a dedicated production line for core components in the future, his mechanical army will eventually be unstoppable.

This post-apocalyptic region is his most secure rear base. As long as parts are continuously supplied here, and as long as his psionic energy is sufficient, he can instantly assemble an invincible mechanical army.

But that's all in the future.

He suppressed his thoughts and pushed open the warehouse door.

Unexpectedly, Su Wan'er, Tang Mucheng, and Wang Meng were all waiting at the door.

It seemed as if they were waiting for me to come back.

As soon as the door opened, Su Wan'er came over and said, "Brother Fei, you're finally back."

Li Fei's eyes narrowed, and he quickly scanned the faces of the crowd. Seeing that they were unharmed and there was no unusual movement around them, his tense nerves relaxed slightly. He asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Tang Mucheng stepped forward and carefully said, "Something happened at the school."

The school? Li Fei frowned. He had previously strictly forbidden everyone from approaching the school because it was highly likely that second-tier or even higher-tier zombies were hiding inside. That's why he had been keeping them away from the school to clear out the zombies.

Could it be that something inside escaped?

Before he could ask any more questions, Tang Mucheng immediately added, "The zombies around the residential area and supermarket have been mostly cleared out. This morning, I used Raven to try and find out if there were any suitable areas around the school for further cleanup. But I discovered that the school's area had suddenly increased in size, more than double."

The area has increased? Li Fei's heart skipped a beat, and a thought suddenly occurred to him:

Could it be that parallel worlds have merged again?

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately strode outside and said in a deep voice, "Let's go take a look!"

Tianhua University.

The rooftop of the laboratory building.

Zhang Dan leaned against the rusty railing at the edge of the rooftop, half of his body hanging out. Pale blue data streams surged in his pupils as he broke down the image in the telescope into countless dense parameters.

"What on earth is going on?!"

He put down his binoculars and murmured to himself, his tone heavy with seriousness.

Directly ahead, where the off-campus food street should have been, now stands a sizable middle school. The rusty iron fence borders the school wall, almost seamlessly integrated with the Tianhua University wall, like...

.

It was originally grown here.

Zhang Dan studied at this university for three years and never knew that there had ever been a Longjiang No. 7 Middle School here.

What sank him even further was that just when they had barely managed to clear the school of zombies, nearly a thousand zombies suddenly flooded in overnight because of this school that appeared out of nowhere.

"Danzi, what results have you found?"

He heard steady footsteps behind him and quickly walked to his side, asking a question.

"I can't tell." Zhang Dan shook his head gravely. "There's absolutely no spatial fluctuation left; this place seems to have appeared out of thin air. By the way, this school is called Longjiang No. 7 Middle School. Have you ever heard of Longjiang?"

Cui Hao frowned and thought for a long time, but finally shook his head: "Never heard of it."

"Then there's nothing we can do." Zhang Dan sighed and shook his head. "In this world, I'm not surprised by anything that happens."

"However, although I haven't been able to find out the origin of that building, there are some powerful zombies in that school."

"A powerful zombie? How powerful?" Cui Hao asked, a glint in his eyes.

"Most of them are around level 20, and there are at least five of them," Zhang Dan said with a solemn expression. "There is also one whose energy reaction peak exceeds level 25. It should be a leader-level one, and it is hidden in the teaching building."

What? Cui Hao's heart sank.

Among their group, there were only three level 20 zombies. A single level 20 mutated zombie was enough to give them a headache, let alone five or more, plus a level 25 leader.

If those things were to discover the survivor camp in the experimental building, the consequences would be unimaginable.

No, I have to go and remind those guys who only have muscles in their brains!

Just as Cui Hao turned around to rush towards the stairwell, a deafening battle cry suddenly erupted from downstairs, mixed with the roars of zombies, the cracking of bones, and the dull thud of steel pipes hitting skulls.

"Brothers, fucking kill these sons of bitches zombies!"

Cui Hao's expression changed, and he immediately rushed back to the railing to look down.

In the open space in front of the laboratory building, a dozen shirtless burly men were wielding steel pipes and fire axes, fighting fiercely against the surging tide of corpses.

Wang Hu, who was in the lead, threw a punch that smashed a zombie's head to pieces with the force of the wind. Red and white splattered all over the ground, drawing cheers from a group of people behind him.

But Zhang Dan's pupils suddenly contracted. He looked at Longjiang No. 7 Middle School in the distance and said, "Something's wrong! Make them stop immediately! The zombies have been attracted here!"

Cui Hao's expression also changed, but he didn't dare to shout. So he had to use his telekinetic tentacles to walk down the window.

Upon reaching the ground below, and seeing the crowd locked in fierce combat, Cui Hao slammed his telekinetic tentacles onto the concrete ground at Wang Hu's feet, sending up a shower of fine stone fragments.

"Wang Hu! Stop immediately and get everyone back! You've attracted the zombie horde from Seventh Middle School! If you don't leave now, it'll be too late!"

Wang Hu had just smashed a zombie's head with a punch when he heard this. He paused, turned around, spat, and said disdainfully, "Retreat my ass! I can clear out these weaklings in a minute! If you're scared, go back upstairs and cower!"

Enraged, Cui Hao unleashed his telekinetic power, forcefully pulling the two burly men at the forefront back. He roared, "These aren't ordinary zombies! They're level 20 zombies! If you want to die, don't drag others down with you!"

"Level 20?" Upon hearing this, Wang Hu paused, then stopped moving. He took a deep breath and waved his hand dismissively: "Brothers, let's get out of here! Retreat!"

Watching everyone dash back to the lab building, Cui Hao felt speechless but also relieved.

He looked up at the rooftop, intending to confirm with Zhang Dan whether the zombies hadn't been attracted, but found Zhang Dan staring at the north gate with his mouth slightly open and his face full of disbelief.

What's going on? Have zombies started flooding in from the north too?

Cui Hao's heart tightened, and he immediately followed his gaze.

At that one glance, he froze on the spot, his pupils contracted sharply, and he murmured in disbelief, "Li Fei? He—he's still alive?"
