Mechanic endlessly amassing troops in the apocalypse

On the other side of the teleportation array lies a game-like apocalypse teeming with monsters and far more dangerous than ordinary people can imagine.

There, as long as you have enough strength, it's a treasure trove for gaining experience.

Once he creates automated robots, he can sit in the back and control the mechanical army to acquire massive amounts of resources and experience for himself.

Ten seconds later, the magic circle beneath their feet solidified completely, and the light stabilized.

But Li Fei didn't rush to teleport; he needed to check the situation in the apocalypse again.

Close your eyes, and the corresponding image suddenly appears in your mind:

The room was somewhat cluttered, with many metal parts and unidentified equipment piled on the floor. The most eye-catching thing was the six-pointed star magic circle in the center of the room, which was exactly the same as the one under his feet.

His gaze swept quickly across every corner of the room.

The doors and windows were tightly closed, and there were no signs of anyone breaking in or moving anything; everything remained exactly as it was when I left.

Once he confirmed it was safe, he didn't hesitate any longer and began the teleportation!

In an instant, Li Fei's figure rippled like water and suddenly disappeared into the repair shop.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The temperature around me suddenly rose, and a wave of dry air hit me.

When I opened my eyes again, I was standing steadily in the room of the apocalypse, with a six-pointed star magic array under my feet.

Li Fei walked to the window, lifted the curtains, and saw that there was no sun or clouds in the sky. The whole sky was hazy, as if shrouded in a thin veil.

He squinted and looked downstairs. All he could see were dilapidated and abandoned houses with mottled walls. Many buildings had collapsed, revealing dark beams and pillars. The streets were overgrown with weeds, and he could vaguely see a few staggering zombies.

But the dangers of this world go far beyond just zombies.

Three months ago, he saw a dark shadow that blotted out the sky in the distance. The overwhelming sense of oppression seemed to freeze his soul. Even now, when he thinks about it, he still gets cold sweats.

If I hadn't reacted quickly and teleported back to Cangnan Star, I probably would have been detected by that unknown entity and turned into a pile of bones.

In terms of danger, this highly gamified post-apocalyptic world is far more terrifying than the interstellar world.

After confirming that the surrounding environment was no different from when he last came in, and that the distribution of zombies had not changed, Li Fei finally felt completely relieved. He looked at the gun in his hand, and a panel was floating on it.

[Pneumatic Spiral Machine Gun] (Exclusive to: Li Fei)

Durability: 100/100

Type: Kinetic Energy Firearm / Pneumatic Principle

Damage: 8 - 12 + 10 (Mechanical Essence Enhancement Bonus)

Optimal range: 0 - 70 meters (accuracy and kinetic energy decrease sharply beyond this range).

Rate of fire: 650 rounds/minute (base) + 50 rounds/minute (Mechanical Essence Enhancement Bonus)

Magazine capacity: 100 rounds (standard steel balls)

Special effect:

Silence (Excellent): Utilizing high-pressure gas, the firing sound is extremely quiet and there is no spark.

(Note: Under this world's rules, some unique items will exhibit digitized characteristics.)

Built-in silencer! Li Fei was overjoyed after looking at the weapon's stats.

This is an excellent attribute for post-apocalyptic survival, especially for urban stealth and cleanup.

As he traced the cool, intricate patterns on the gun's body, he became increasingly satisfied and couldn't wait to test its actual performance.

There happened to be a bunch of live targets downstairs.

Since I'm currently in a high position and the guns have silencers, I can use them to test their power and accuracy, and practice my skills.

Without further ado, Li Fei picked up his gun, carefully poked the barrel out of the gap in the steel plate, and used the rudimentary iron sights to aim at a zombie about a hundred meters away downstairs.

Hold your breath, press the trigger, and a soft hissing sound.

The bullets shot towards the zombies downstairs.

With a soft thud, the steel ball, propelled by the wind and gravity, veered off its intended trajectory and struck the concrete ground at the zombie's feet, kicking up a small cloud of dust.

The sound of something hitting the ground quickly attracted the surrounding zombies, who all gathered in the direction of the sound.

Undeterred, Li Fei quickly fired a second shot, but unfortunately, it seemed to be limited by the gun's own capabilities, still deviating from the aiming path and missing the target.

The third shot... the fourth shot...

As the number of zombies downstairs increased, they still hadn't managed to kill a single one.

Li Fei panicked a little.

Using skills? I think I'll pass. The distance is probably too far. Even with aim assist, it's unlikely to be a kill. That's a problem with the gun itself.

If we attract a powerful monster and run out of psionic energy, we'll really be doomed at this distance.

His gaze fell on the teleportation array symbol in his hand.

[Two-way Fixed-Point Teleportation Array] (Soul Bound)

Anchor points currently deployed: 2/2 (Maintenance Station; this room)

Time required from initiation to transfer: 10 seconds

Effective teleportation range: A cylindrical space with a radius of 0.5 meters and a height of 4 meters centered on the magic circle.

Transmission restrictions:

1. The unit attempting to teleport must be in a non-combat state.

2. Cannot be transferred to any intelligent life form other than the bound entity.

That's right. The first condition for initiating a teleportation evacuation is to ensure that you are not locked into combat by the enemy.

If a large number of monsters gather downstairs, or even attract those strange beings with keen senses, he might not even be able to buy himself ten safe seconds to activate the teleportation.

It was too dangerous to provoke the zombies outside, so Li Fei gritted his teeth. "If I can't hit the zombies downstairs, I can at least shoot those outside the door!"

He had come to this world many times, but he had never opened this door.

But you can't keep hiding forever. With a gun, what's there to be afraid of?

However, he did not act rashly. He first rummaged through the supplies piled up in the corner of the room and found a few thick canvas work clothes and a hardcover book.

Wearing work clothes over your clothes, while offering limited protection, can at least prevent direct injury to the skin and flesh when scratched or bitten.

He tied the hardcover book to his left forearm with a strip of cloth, using it as a makeshift arm shield.

After he was ready, he went to the gate and looked out through the peephole. He could only see a school uniform zombie facing the wall at the end of the corridor.

"One should be fine."

After mentally encouraging himself, he carefully opened the door, and an even stronger stench of decay immediately hit him.

He couldn't help but frown, then quickly composed himself, raised his gun, and aimed.

*Swoosh!* Steel balls shot out!

*Thud!* Hit! But... it hit the side of the zombie's neck, tearing a gash, but not fatally.

The startled zombie let out a low growl, turned around, saw Li Fei standing at the door of the room, its eyes immediately flashed red, and it charged forward with its claws outstretched!

"Damn it!"

The roar sent chills down one's spine. Li Fei forced himself to remain calm and fired again.

Bang! This time, the bullet grazed the wall.

Looking at the rotting body of the zombie so close at hand.

Li Fei's heart tightened, and he continued firing his machine gun.

Bang! Finally, with a muffled thud, the zombie's head exploded.

Kill a regular zombie, gain 10 experience points.

"Phew... Damn zombies, they scared me to death." He cursed under his breath, trying to calm his wildly beating heart.

That last burst of fire used up more than twenty steel bullets.

Faced with this potentially fatal situation, he dared not be careless at all, and quickly poured in new steel bullets to fill the magazine.

Step...step...step...

A jumble of hurried, rapid footsteps suddenly came from around the corner.

Li Fei's heart tightened suddenly. Although the gunshot was soft, the sound of the bullet hitting the wall had still alerted what was behind the corner!
