Chapter 957
Joining the Decepticons!
After finishing his serious analysis, Qingchen heard a strange sound coming from behind him.
"Suck it!"
"...Slurp!"
The man turned around and his face froze.
Because this inexplicable woman was sitting on an ammunition box and eating food from her backpack.
It was at this moment that Li Qingqing realized that the food prepared by the veterans was actually different for each of them.
The food felt hard at first, but it softened after being exposed to air.
It has a cool, refreshing taste, just like jelly.
Li Qingqing saw Qingchen turn around and open his mouth.
"Hmm? Uncle, do you want some too?"
"You have some in your backpack. Don't look at me, I'm not giving it to you."
As she spoke, Li Qingqing swallowed another large mouthful.
Then I found a white bottle in my backpack and poured out a lozenge.
After pressing it down with his tongue, he immediately had a satisfied expression.
Their eyes met, and they stared at each other for a moment.
Finally, Qingchen spoke:
"According to the energy standards above, eating one-third of this is enough for a day's needs."
"These solid water tablets can also be broken apart for small doses."
"But aren't you afraid of dying?"
Li Qingqing sat cross-legged and waved her hand dismissively.
"Please, uncle, I'm following you now, so of course you should think about it. As your subordinate, I won't bother with that."
"But I am indeed curious, if death is inevitable, what should be done next?"
"Uncle, you should have a way, right?"
Qingchen didn't speak, but turned around again.
Just after Qingchen turned around.
The girl behind him made a face, and then slapped the air.
Just like before, he looked angry but dared not speak out.
But then, an unexpected event occurred.
The two heard a muffled boom, like an earthquake.
Everything beneath their feet and around them suddenly trembled.
The walls in the armory cracked instantly.
As the vibration continued, an already precarious incandescent light bulb overhead snapped off.
As luck would have it, it was precisely in the area where Qingchen was located.
Qingchen's senses were sharp, and he immediately pulled back, easily escaping danger.
However, the next moment, before this person could analyze what had happened...
"Snapped!"
Qingchen felt a sharp pain on his right cheek.
Compared to the noise overhead and the cracking wall, this sound was naturally barely audible.
However, a layer of sweat instantly appeared on Li Qingqing's fair forehead because of this sound.
I was scared.
I was scared of myself.
Li Qingqing withdrew her hand, her voice trembling.
"Uncle, please let me explain! This isn't me, no, this is you from behind!"
"I I I..."
Li Qingqing didn't know what was wrong with her. She had never stuttered before, so why was she stuttering like this now that she was nervous?
The main issue is that the uncle's second personality is definitely not a kind person.
She had no doubt that this man could just grab a gun from the shelf and start shooting her right now.
After saying "I" several times, looking at the stiff figure in front of her, Li Qingqing finally admitted the truth.
"Okay, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to..."
The silence that followed the apology was quite eerie.
But the next moment.
"Qingqing?"
"........."
"What happened?"
"And what is this place? An armory?"
The gentle and mellow voice made the girl, who was looking down in fear, instantly look up.
Looking at that face that had softened, Li Qingqing tried her best not to scream.
He strained his long neck and swallowed hard.
Actually, she had just thought that the uncle switched personalities because of her slap, so would slap him again and he would switch back?
Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, it seems to be the truth now.
Another explanation followed.
Qingchen was not at all surprised by the fact that he had another personality.
After confirming that the person hadn't done anything out of line during this time, Qingchen naturally took the backpack from Li Qingqing.
The two then arrived at the armory gate.
This is also the key point that Qingchen mentioned.
This area is significantly larger than the individual weapons we just saw.
Of course, the largest one is the one at the main entrance.
Qingchen reached out and grabbed the military green canvas covering the front of him.
While lifting the lid, he patiently explained to Li Qingqing:
"During World War II, U.S. Air Force maintenance personnel suddenly discovered that the planes returning to base had the most bullet holes on the sides of their wings."
"There were very few, if any, bullet holes in the cockpit and below the engine."
"After this matter was reported, they compiled all the data and found that it was indeed the case. Subsequently, the aircraft designers decided to install bulletproof steel plates in the areas with the most bullet holes."
"This will improve the fighter jet's protective capabilities."
But they were wrong.
"Because these people have all misunderstood one thing. It's not because there were many bullet holes on the sides of the wings that the plane was able to return, but because there were no bullet holes under the cockpit and the engine that the plane was able to return."
"Therefore, the really correct solution is to install bulletproof steel plates in those areas where there are no bullet holes."
"This fact is completely different from, even the exact opposite of, their initial plan."
"So the same principle applies."
"If newcomers want to survive, there is actually another way."
"This road may be very dangerous, but I'm sure I won't die so soon."
"However, there is a prerequisite."
Li Qingqing stared wide-eyed, looking puzzled.
"What premise?"
Qingchen's expression was serious:
"That is, those veterans who fought the Decepticons were strong enough."
"So powerful that it caught Megatron's attention."
Li Qingqing couldn't understand it at all.
"Uncle, how exactly do you do it?"
Qingchen smiled slightly:
"It's actually very simple."
"That means... joining the Decepticons!"
He lifted the green canvas in his hand.
A brand-new armed helicopter appeared before the two of them.
It was at this moment that Li Qingqing suddenly realized why there was a large hole in the air-raid shelter they had landed in.
The platform they were on at the very beginning.
It was reserved for this helicopter.
Next, Li Qingqing saw Qingchen open the cockpit and throw the core, which was emitting a blue light, into it.
next moment.
The blue light began to burst forth with a color they couldn't describe.
The entire helicopter came to life right in front of them.
The wings fold downwards, and the fuselage disintegrates from the inside.
After a dazzling series of changes.
A giant robot with the ceiling on its back was kneeling in front of the two of them.
-
At noon, the sun was shining brightly.
In the ruins of the city, all the robots, regardless of size, were gathered outside a hidden building exit, standing ready to strike at any moment.
The sound of machinery turning began.
A black helicopter emerged from the ground, and other Transformers with flight capabilities leaped into the air, transforming into flight postures to escort the helicopter.
A strange flight formation headed towards New York.
Li Qingqing, clinging to the airplane window, stared blankly for a moment at the rotting corpses on the city ground.
He then gave a cheerful look and smiled as he spoke to the cabin crew.
"This is my first time riding in a helicopter!"
"Aside from being a bit noisy, it's actually not bad."
"Uncle!"
"Uncle!"
Li Qingqing shouted.
Qingchen handed over the headset from the cabin.
Only then were the two able to communicate normally.
"Hey, uncle?"
"I can hear you. What do you want to say?"
"Hehe, uncle, how come they believed it so easily?"
"They don't believe my words, but rather the terrifying strength of those veterans."
"It seems that their combat capabilities are even stronger than I initially imagined."
Li Qingqing continued to press:
"Uncle, I have a feeling that both you and the other you seem to be very familiar with this place."
"It's like knowing a lot of things I don't know."
Qingchen looked out the window at the scenery, as if the outside world was not a city of ruins and corpses, but a beautiful scenic spot.
"It's nothing, just that I've experienced a lot."
"After all, isn't this place pretty much like the real world?"
Li Qingqing looked at the ruins outside and the city where not a single living person remained.
"Almost...?"
This is an answer that isn't really an answer.
The two fell silent for a moment, having run out of things to say.
The helicopter is getting higher and higher.
The girl started the conversation again.
"Uncle."
"Ok?"
"I haven't asked you yet, do you have a girlfriend?"
"Have."
"Have?"
"But he's dead."
"Oh, I see, otherwise the buttons wouldn't have been buttoned wrong."
"Uncle, how did your girlfriend die?"
"suicide."
"oh………"
"Weren't you there? Why didn't you save her?"
“I was right beside her, even when she died.”
"And I saved them, many times."
"That???"
"Because I gave up. For a moment, I suddenly realized that her determination to die was even stronger than my determination to save her!"
"So, I gave up."
"Death isn't so bad."
Li Qingqing fell silent again.
"And you, Qingqing."
Why did you come in?
Seeing Li Qingqing's surprised look, Qingchen smiled and said:
"If you can discover the pattern, how could I not know it?"
"He Qingsheng, that strong man has cancer!"
“I saw his body last night.”
"Those three white-collar workers failed in their investments, embezzled public funds, and engaged in usury."
"Although there is no evidence, it is probably due to family reasons or too much academic pressure on those two students."
"I know what I'm saying, so what about you?"
"And what's the reason for that?"
Li Qingqing was in a daze from the moment Qingchen opened his mouth.
It seemed as if she had remembered something.
As a result, his eyes gradually lost focus, as if his soul had been emptied.
"Uncle, do you think I'm pretty?"
Qingchen turned around and looked directly at Li Qingqing with a serious expression.
"Young, fair-skinned, with delicate features and a good figure, so the final conclusion is that she is naturally good-looking."
"His appearance surpasses that of more than 90% of women."
Faced with Qingchen's undisguised and straightforward praise, Li Qingqing gave a stiff smile.
"rape."
"Well, there's not much to say."
"Uncle, you're so smart, you should be able to guess it."
"But let me make this clear first, that person went to jail, and society has been very good to me, so I don't have any antisocial personality disorder."
"It's just a feeling that it doesn't mean anything."
The girl gave a standard smile as she spoke.
But what Li Qingqing didn't know was...
That smile was so glaring and familiar to Qingchen.
Then the roar of the helicopter filled the air around them.
-
Time never turns back, and life has no "what ifs".
-
One south and one north.
At the same time that the two newcomers headed to New York, the members of the Zhongzhou team, who were heading in the opposite direction, also began a new discussion.
The brown wooden boat wasn't particularly fast.
After all, Xiao Honglu was only a novice in weapon crafting, and he was able to craft it thanks to his current Golden Core cultivation.
Actually, Xiao Honglu wouldn't have taken this out at all in a horror movie about cultivating immortality.
After all, it was rather embarrassing that the airship was completely bare and had no array runes inscribed on it.
Even in the cultivation novels he read, this couldn't be called a finished product; at most, it was a semi-finished product.
The only advantage of the Flying Boat compared to the Green Goblin Skateboard and Flying Broomstick is that you don't have to control it yourself, giving you ample time to observe your surroundings.
So the people traveling south all looked around the world with curiosity.
As far as the eye could see, both the city and the mountains were desolate.
However, one can occasionally see scattered troops and survivors converging in the direction they came from.
It seems that these people's destination is Military Base No. 7, which they left earlier.
Judging from the map in front of Xiao Honglu, the distance between Military Base No. 7 and Military Base No. 1 is not short.
It can be said that it crossed half of the United States, passing through quite a few cities.
These city clusters are nothing compared to the vast and sparsely populated urban landscape of the United States.
But the problem is that we're now halfway through the trip.
In Zheng Zha's eyes, almost all of these cities had been occupied by Decepticon robots, without exception.
"Isn't this too many?"
"Chu Xuan, can the Spark Source Cube really create robots without limit?"
Zheng Zha couldn't help but ask.
Chu Xuan, who was also observing the city below, replied calmly:
"Seven days have passed, and now most American cities have fallen."
"You can imagine that a large city would be eroded by the radiation of the AllSpark Cube, which could produce millions of Decepticons in an instant."
"But there is still one problem, which is that we do not yet know how many Decepticons have descended to Earth from outer space."
"Based on the information available, these robots are far more powerful in combat than those created on Earth."
"Moreover, the million robots I mentioned only include large vehicles, factory machinery, and oversized instruments, etc."
If we add in the color TVs, computers, refrigerators, small motorcycles, and cars that every household has... (End of Chapter)
