Chapter 956
Qingchen's Second Personality
Qingchen's slightly sinister gaze swept over the woman, then looked at the layout around the pump room, finally settling on one of the walls.
"Since he sent you to the pump room, it can't be a wasted effort."
"According to him, the second batch of Decepticons has arrived, so there can't be only one robot."
"He only dealt with one grunt and his body is in this state. He's really a piece of trash!"
Li Qingqing looked at this thing that was talking to itself, with a face full of disdain and contempt.
There was only one thought in my mind.
madman!
He was facing a complete madman!
And most importantly, what was he saying?
Why can't I understand it?
Before Li Qingqing could continue thinking,
Qingchen stood there, then began to twist and turn strangely before opening his mouth and inhaling sharply.
At first, Li Qingqing thought that this person was taking a deep breath.
But listening to the frequency and length of breathing, I quickly realized that this was not breathing, or at least not normal breathing.
Rather, it's a strange method or rhythm.
The most amazing thing was that the red skin, which even the treatment drugs couldn't alleviate, quickly recovered with just a few simple movements and this strange breathing method.
And for some reason, these actions gave her a feeling of awe and wonder.
It's that kind of feeling where I don't understand it, but it looks really impressive...
Seeing this, the clever girl understood something.
Whether it's schizophrenia, good person Qingchen, or bad person Qingchen.
No matter who it is, they are all incredibly powerful figures to her, an ordinary person.
If you want to survive in this world, you need more than just military backpacks and the auxiliary tools provided by veterans.
This is the one I should hold onto the most.
After finishing a set of movements, Qingchen opened his triangular eyes that were hanging down below his eyebrows.
"What a terrible environment! Not only is it ineffective, but it's also toxic!"
His expression of disgust was palpable.
He then swept a disdainful look over the bewildered girl.
Then he walked over, picked up the backpack he had just thrown away, opened it, and dumped it directly on the ground.
Li Qingqing opened her mouth wide, looking utterly astonished.
Because she only just realized it now.
Compared to this morning, there are now quite a few strange things in these two backpacks.
The most conspicuous things are those few dark gray metallic lumps.
Li Qingqing remembered it so vividly because she had just been blown away by this thing not long ago.
Qingchen first took out a set of clothes from his backpack, then carefully put the remaining talismans inside close to his body before looking at the high-explosive grenade in his hand.
This person seemed to understand something as well, and forced a smile.
They took out two of them and went into the pump room.
The pump room inside the air-raid shelter is not a conventional square shape.
Instead, the water pumps and pipes were arranged to form an irregular, uneven room shape.
A few minutes later.
Li Qingqing, watching the figure knocking on the wall, finally couldn't help but speak:
"Hey sir, what are you doing?"
Are you looking for something?
"I don't understand, but you just said there's definitely more than one robot. We made such a big commotion earlier, wasn't that too dangerous...?"
Qingchen had already walked to the wall he had initially chosen.
This protruding section at the deepest part of the pump room is only a little over two meters wide, with half-meter-wide red fire pipes on both sides.
Hearing the questioning voice behind him.
Qingchen gestured for Li Qingqing to shut up, then pressed himself against the wall and closed his eyes to listen.
Seeing this, Li Qingqing could only shut her mouth.
But the next moment, this person couldn't stay calm.
Li Qingqing watched as the lithe figure turned and ran after pulling the pin on the grenade.
I was inevitably stunned for a moment.
It was only then that she realized how incredibly fast the other person was moving.
It is even more agile than an average person.
It was not at all as sluggish or stiff as before.
"My God, not only can she have a split personality, but she can also switch physical states?"
"Uh, wait, what are you doing lying on the ground?"
As she spoke, Li Qingqing turned her head to look at the wall behind her, and only then did she realize what was happening.
The two grenades we just used have been left in the corner by the other side.
Thinking to herself, Li Qingqing blurted out:
"Dry your young mother!"
As he spoke, he turned and ran, taking two steps before leaping out and rolling to Qingchen's side.
next moment.
An even louder roar than the explosion just now echoed from inside the pump room.
The dust that suddenly rose up, along with various indescribable smells, made Li Qingqing feel like she was about to suffocate.
A full five minutes passed.
After tumbling several times, the two who had been thrown into the corner finally stood up again.
Li Qingqing understood what was happening when she saw the rock fragments falling all over her body.
The Qingchen beside me is no longer the one I used to know.
So there's no need to be polite anymore.
After getting up, this person rushed to the side without saying a word, grabbed him by the collar, and shouted:
"You dropped a bomb and you didn't tell me?"
"You've made me waste another talisman."
If you don't know the effects of the talisman, then forget about it.
But now that I know, it's heartbreaking, because these are life-saving items, and every one used is one less available.
With a cold expression, Qingchen pushed Li Qingqing away.
Go forward.
Li Qingqing had no intention of letting this go so easily, but she was stunned when she followed him into the pump room.
Because the originally sealed pump room has been blasted open, creating a new hole.
The hole is located on the same two-meter-wide wall we just saw.
Of course, none of this matters.
Most importantly, after following Qingchen through the blown-open doorway...
She then realized that this newly appeared space was actually their original destination.
That is, the armory inside this air-raid shelter.
The lighting in the armory must have been different from the wiring in other places, so the entire space was unusually bright and there was no power outage.
Looking into the distance, the entire armory was about the size of a basketball court.
Hundreds of greasy assault rifles were neatly arranged against the wall.
The pistols on the black shelf were even arranged in two rows, one in front and one behind.
Various types of bullets, shells, and grenades were stacked in boxes against the wall, forming a small mountain.
Whether she knew them or not, the sight before her left Li Qingqing speechless for a moment.
Finally, he murmured:
"So the pump house and the armory were only separated by one wall!"
"That explains why I was assigned to the pump room..."
Li Qingqing was stunned for a moment after she finished speaking before she realized what she had said:
"Not an older man?"
"You already suspected the robot was carrying a bomb the moment you saw it?"
"You still have the confidence to take down the opponent single-handedly and come back alive?"
"And intercept the opponent's bomb?" Looking at this person who was ignoring him and just fumbling around on their own:
"Okay, uncle, I forgive you."
"You mean those veterans? They were given talismans, so why couldn't they be given a few guns?"
"We have to find it ourselves?"
"At least we can fight back against those robots, uh! By the way, uncle?"
"How did you deal with that robot?"
"Martial arts?"
"Or some other special ability?"
Qingchen didn't even glance at Li Qingqing. After scanning the area, his gaze settled on a large object at the very back of the armory.
However, he didn't go directly there, since there were quite a few good things inside.
Regarding this incessant, chattering harassment:
"According to what you said, it was right for those veterans not to be given firearms, otherwise that burly man wouldn't have been carrying two backpacks alone."
"Moreover, small-caliber firearms are completely useless against the robots in Transformers."
"It's even a burden."
"As for those with large calibers, even if I gave them to you, would you know how to use them?"
"Or are you saying that those white-collar workers or students would use it?"
"Don't even mention using it, you probably couldn't even lift it."
Hearing the sarcasm, Li Qingqing subconsciously puffed out her chest:
"Who says I don't know how to use it!"
"I've seen it on TV too."
As she spoke, Li Qingqing picked out the most imposing sniper rifle from the rows of shelves, the one with the largest caliber.
The embarrassing thing was that this person couldn't even lift it with one hand.
It took two trembling hands to barely manage to pick it up.
But if it's already so difficult to hold, then using it is definitely impossible.
Even Li Qingqing was worried that if she fired a shot, the recoil would send her flying.
Having seen reality clearly, Li Qingqing stubbornly put it back.
Changing the subject:
"Ahem, uncle, you know those veterans are pretty stupid, aren't they? They're all here, and they don't even know to grab all these guns."
Qingchen sneered and said:
"It's not that I don't want to take it, it's that I don't need it!"
“Some of them possess the ability to scan minds; in other words, these were intentionally left behind.”
"Whether we find the armory or not, they don't care at all."
Upon hearing this, Li Qingqing, drawing inferences from one instance to another, said:
"Although I don't know what a mental scan is, based on what you've said..."
"Did they also know that the antidote has a limited duration? Then why didn't they bring us newcomers out of this air-raid shelter?"
"This is putting us in a difficult situation..."
Before Li Qingqing could finish reciting these sanctimonious, hypocritical quotes...
A gaze as sharp as a knife shot over.
Seeing the light in her triangular eyes, Li Qingqing immediately stopped talking.
What a joke! She hates nothing more than a sanctimonious hypocrite.
However, some people in the real world simply like this kind of thing.
However, it's now certain that at least the uncle's second personality doesn't like it.
“Li Qingqing, you saw it too. If the newcomers are taken out by them, when the second wave of Decepticons arrives, we will die without any hindrance.”
"There's actually a sliver of a chance to survive here!"
Li Qingqing continued to retort, "Then...then...why don't you take us with you to complete the tasks on the watch?"
"Or you could just find some remote, desolate place and hide us!"
Qingchen sneered and turned to look at this person.
"Why? No, it should be 'On what grounds'!"
Li Qingqing was stunned: "What? On what grounds?"
Why should those experienced people help you?
What do you have that would make them want to help you?
"In this place where even survival is difficult, not everyone can maintain the most basic humanity!"
"You should be glad that those veterans aren't madmen driven by power."
Instead of complaining that no one helps you when you are vulnerable.
Seeing Li Qingqing's stunned expression, Qingchen spoke again:
"And your method, hiding in the wilderness?"
"Use your not-so-bright brain to think about it: modern cities are the most suitable incubation nest for the Spark Cube."
"It's only been eight days since the outbreak, have all of humanity really died out?"
"Perhaps in the city, but what about other places?"
"Of course not. Where did the survivors go? Just as you think, they all went to remote mountains and forests or even the Gobi Desert where there are no mechanical facilities."
"And what will those Decepticon robots do next after they've completed their invasion and occupied the city?"
Li Qingqing replied dryly, "We'll go into the mountains to hunt down the survivors!"
"In horror movies, Megatron never wanted a city, but an entire planet."
After saying that, Qingchen looked at the silent Li Qingqing and threw one of the two backpacks he was carrying away.
He said coldly:
"You are of no value to me at the moment, so you can carry this bag."
"From now on, you must do exactly what I say!"
Feeling the heavy backpack in her hands, Li Qingqing pursed her lips, lowered her head, and didn't say anything. Instead, she obediently put the backpack on her back.
He hung the lighter one of his clothes upside down in front of him.
After following Qingchen around the armory, the girl seemed to accept the fact that she had become his follower.
However, the person walking behind kept raising their hand and waving it a couple of times, looking like they were itching to do something but didn't dare.
"Ahem, uncle, what are we going to do next?"
Li Qingqing asked somewhat cautiously.
Qingchen turned his back to her and continued to observe everything in the armory.
"It's already the second day. What do you think the newcomer's chances of survival are?"
Li Qingqing hesitated for a moment, looking at the room full of firearms and ammunition, and said:
"Well, as we said yesterday, we'll most likely die after the second wave of Decepticons arrives."
"It now appears to be the worst-case scenario."
"However, with these weapons and so many talismans, we should be able to hold out for another two days, right?"
Qingchen pressed further, "And what happened after you held on for two more days?"
Li Qingqing stammered instantly.
Because she hadn't thought about the future at all.
The figure in front continued speaking.
"Don't even think about it. The two days you mentioned are just wishful thinking."
"Since the main god has sent the second batch of Decepticons, the humans in this city will inevitably be completely wiped out."
"There is absolutely no chance of survival."
"As a newcomer, whether you are in this air-raid shelter, outside, or in the deep mountains and forests you mentioned, you will not escape death on this second day."
"When those veterans chose to abandon us, the outcome was already sealed. These tactical backpacks and weapons were just a matter of dying sooner or later."
Li Qingqing felt cold in her hands and feet when she heard the first part of the story.
After hearing the second part, I felt a chill run down my spine.
But in the end, it was just so-so.
After all, death is just death!
"Are they crazy?"
"A few backpacks were thrown away for nothing?"
"And the stuff here isn't cheap, is it?" Li Qingqing shrugged and asked rhetorically.
"The wise man who threw out the backpack wouldn't do anything in vain."
"And that captain among the veterans—that kind of person is the most hypocritical." (End of Chapter)
