Chapter 16: The End of the World

How could this world be such a thing?

Su Chen flashed this thought in shock, and immediately turned around without hesitation and returned to the Skyview International Hotel.

That flesh and blood giant is not something he can provoke at this stage, so he can only avoid the edge for the time being!

The flesh giant walked along the path that the military had run over, and then passed by the entrance of the Sky View Hotel, and its rumbling footsteps shook the ground. Seeing its amazing speed, Su Chen didn't dare to observe it at the front entrance, but waited for it to leave near the back door.

It didn't notice Su Chen, and the heavy footsteps disappeared from far to near and far from near to far in those crackling and burning clear flames.

Listening to the heavy sound outside, Su Chen's heart was shocked.

Where the hell do these monsters come from? Is it an invasion of an extraterrestrial civilization, or what?

And also...... Why is the sky completely dark?

And what is the Scarlet Lightning Rift?

No one could answer these answers to Su Chen, and after confirming that it was safe, he immediately turned back to the twenty-third floor, took his weapon and some necessities that were convenient for him to carry, put them into the backpack he had prepared, returned to the first floor, pried open the door of an office, and directly occupied this place.

Previously, Su Chen delineated three hypermarkets marked with cos stores and animation stores through the detailed map of the whole city he specially bought, one was far away in Xicheng District, and the other two were deep in the center of Zhongcheng District, which was his goal.

However, the nearest one is also two kilometers away from him in a straight line, and it is impossible to be lucky enough to cross this distance without encountering monsters, so he must first strengthen a wave of his body and change the Miao Dao into a demon, and then set off to find materials that can be transformed into a battle armor!

But the process is slow and boring, mechanical and iterative.

What Su Chen has to do is just like running Zhou Tian in a martial arts novel, controlling the absorbed energy in his body to circulate in circles in his body, naturally absorbing it in his body, strengthening it little by little.

At the beginning, Su Chen still felt that he was getting closer to some cultivation master, but as he repeated it for a long time, he felt more and more as if he had become a digestive organ, digesting those energies through constant peristalsis, not chic at all, only depressed.

And this process was quite long, except for eating and sleeping, Su Chen almost kept strengthening his body, and it still took three full days to completely digest ten energy units.

During this period, he also wasted a little energy, trying to transform some other things, such as the glass water cup, after the magic change was successful, it magically turned into a self-hot water cup, poured cold water into it, and it would boil by itself in about half an hour...... This may be very useful for the uncles who soaked wolfberries in the thermos cup, but it is really useless for Su Chen, and maybe the input dark energy is too little, or maybe the material of the glass itself is too poor, so it has completely lost its effect after using it seven or eight times.

And in the past three days, the vicinity of the Skyview Hotel has been surprisingly calm, except for two black-scaled monsters passing by, almost no other monsters are approaching, the flesh and blood giant who came here that day left with heavy steps that day, but there are many survivors who took this opportunity to run out of their hiding place in twos and threes to look for the army - the army seems to have approached the middle city, these days, Su Chen obviously heard those gunshots approaching, still resounding in the dark night all the time.

It's just that the army seems to have stopped at the edge of the Midtown and has no intention of moving deeper into the city. This made Su Chen, who was planning to follow the army into the core area of Zhongcheng City, a little disappointed.

However, the absorption of ten energy units has changed Su Chen's physique to a certain extent, his strength, explosion, speed and basic physique have all increased completely, although he still looks a little thin and tall, in fact, he already has an extremely strong physique, Su Chen himself also tested it himself, the limit of his 100-meter run is 8.9 seconds, which has broken the Guinness World Record!

Moreover, his senses have become sharper, and he has a clearer vision even in the dark. However, Su Chen's comprehensive physique still did not reach the exaggerated level of Captain America and Thor, and although his own physical strength had also improved, it had not yet reached the point of invulnerability. The transformation of other items by dark energy is rapid and immediate, but the transformation of the main body is very slow.

But Su Chen couldn't wait any longer. These days, he often hears the howls of tsunami-like monsters in the city, and the dark trolls flying in the sky from time to time.

There are all kinds of signs that although there are not many monsters gathered here in Su Chen, the city is becoming more and more dangerous.

Su Chen couldn't develop slowly, that speed was too slow, so he transformed the Miao Knife in his hand, and injected two energy units, and the Xue Liang Miao Knife turned into a restrained and heavy black, but it became as sharp as clay, Su Chen personally tested, and one knife could easily cut the hotel's security door!

Moreover, Su Chen found that on this basis, he could still continue to infuse energy into the Miao Knife, coating it with a layer of fiery red light, turning it into something similar to a laser knife!

Not only that, Su Chen also transformed the remaining two boning knives, and changed them into explosive flying knives, leaving about four units of energy on his body, bringing a backpack of necessities, and immediately set off, putting on the long trench coat he had prepared before the end of the world, covering his exaggerated equipment, and heading straight to the first destination he had circled!

β€”β€”The Cloud City store two kilometers away from him in a straight line.

The roar of the military's gunfire in the distance resounded in the sky above Yuanliao City, and Su Chen was quite cautious all the way, advancing along the edge of the road, always alerting the surroundings, for fear that a monster would suddenly be killed in the shadows.

But the first thing he encountered was a few sporadic survivors, who were rummaging through a messy convenience store, and noticed that Su Chen, a "stranger", was coming, they glanced at it vigilantly, and then quickly left with the things they had searched.

Su Chen actually wanted to ask about the original materials of the battle armor he wanted to find, but he had to give up when he saw this.

In the past two kilometers, Su Chen walked quite slowly, and it took more than twenty minutes to walk less than halfway. Along the way, the land was bleak, the virus-like strains carried by those monsters grew everywhere, some trees were parasiticized, and even rotted and dried up and became hotbeds, many convenience stores were either looted, or there were also ebony ghosts invading, the strains were all over the place, and none of the things on the ground were edible.

The air was filled with a disgusting mixture of gunsmoke, rotten stench, and blood.

And at this moment, when he passed through a messy intersection, he saw a lone, slender ghost standing on the side of the street at an entrance, his body shaking slightly.

Su Chen's heart moved slightly, and he planned to sneak up and kill it directly!

However, he only got some distance closer, and with the enhanced eyesight of his modified body, he saw that in the depths of the street behind the "lonely" slender ghost, there were dense and slender ghosts moving along the street, silent, like an army in an army, but their hideous appearance was like a hundred ghosts walking at night!

At a glance, the number is at least over 100!

And Su Chen even saw that on the top of a certain building in the distance, there was a dark and dry shadow, as if it was this army of slender ghosts, sweeping here, directing the advance!

Su Chen's scalp was numb, and he immediately chose to avoid it, advancing from another road, and entering this area, the number of monsters increased significantly, in addition to the army composed of slender ghosts, on the streets and between buildings, slender ghosts and those black-scaled monsters could be seen everywhere, Su Chen even saw a more terrifying scene, there was a building where the rain was hit, and there were six living humans hanging like jerky, wailing and screaming, screaming in horror spread all over the street, and a group of slender ghosts surrounded them, I take the next living person to eat!

The army of slender ghosts was behind him, and the streets were full of wandering monsters, Su Chen couldn't save or want to save these people, so he only retreated silently in horror.

In the area of the Sky View Hotel, where there are not many monsters, he has not really felt anything, but now, he realizes the horror of this disaster!

Su Chen retreated all the way, bypassed a street, gave up the idea of moving forward from the main road, and went directly into a clothing store next to him, intending to pass through it like this, but what he didn't expect was that there were a group of survivors in that clothing store!
