Zhuang Li and Le Zhengming turned too old to walk, but they still had a good relationship. They retired hand in hand, announced to the world that they were a couple, and walked into the grave hand in hand.
Although the two people’s concealment caused an uproar in society, in view of their great contributions to China, the public only talked about it for a while and then calmed down.
Zhuang Li created a superconducting quantum interference device and launched it into the sky above China using a satellite, forming a large net. If an enemy country or observer dared to invade this large net, they would be attacked by hundreds of thousands of particle beams and then turned into ashes.
As a result, the Chinese territory had become the safest territory in the world.
It was a pity that Zhuang Li waited for a lifetime but never saw an observer, which was quite regrettable.
But he was not surprised. The social relationship constructed by the Lord God was in the shape of a pyramid, with countless taskers at the base, the system in the middle, observers above, and the Lord God at the top. The higher the status, the fewer the number.
In other words, an observer often needed to monitor tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of small worlds. It was also a very difficult task for them to identify the world with abnormalities from so many worlds.
It was just bad luck that Zhuang Li met three observers in a row in the last world, so it was normal that he didn’t meet any in this world.
After his death, he returned to his conscious form and told the system: “Go through time. Choose a better world this time.”
7480 replied sarcastically: “Master, don’t worry, I will definitely help you choose carefully. The time of crossing is counting down, please be ready, 3, 2, 1, start!”
At the same time, far away in another time and space, a man with an unusually tall physique and very handsome and masculine appearance suddenly woke up from his dream, then half sat up, stroking his forehead anxiously.
The man sitting next to him holding a gun immediately walked over and asked, “Boss, what’s wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare?”
“No, it was not a nightmare.” The man opened his mouth to speak, but his voice was as rough as if it had been rubbed with sandpaper.
The man with the gun looked at his bulging crotch and immediately smiled with a wink: “Boss, if it was not a nightmare, then was it that kind of dream? With whom? Was it exciting? If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought that your thing was useless!”
“Get out of the way.” The man frowned, looking angry, but he was still recalling the dream over and over again in his heart.
In his dream, he was hugging a flexible body tightly. The other’s skin was as white as snow, the other’s eyes were narrow and deep, and the other’s low moan was like the devil’s whisper, which was unbearable and exciting.
He almost died on that man’s body, with his hoarse laughter ringing in his ears. It was like a piece of charcoal falling on his heart, burning a big hole, and then turning into blood, merging with his bone marrow, heart, and even soul.
He hugged the other person tightly, wanting to keep this moment forever, but the man gently stroked his face and smiled softly, “See you in the next world.”
The next world? What did that mean? Is he in my little world?
Thinking of this possibility, the man’s heart began to beat wildly and he felt a sharp throbbing. An urgent desire surged from the bottom of his heart like a tide.
He kept rubbing his forehead, trying to recall the dream, but he could not draw the man’s face. The only thing he remembered was his narrow, upturned, cute and cunning eyes like a little fox.
While he was stunned, a tall woman came over with a blue bottle in her hand.
“Boss, this is the item that was dropped when we killed the tasker just now. It’s a quick-acting healing spray. Try using it.”
The man with the gun immediately lost the mood to joke and shook his head dejectedly: “Boss’s injury is simply untreatable. Last time we got an S-level mana recovery potion, it was useless. This spray is only B-level.”
“There’s no harm in giving it a try,” the woman advised patiently.
The tall man took the medicine and sprayed it on his body casually.
Two or three minutes later, the hideous wounds were still exposed to the air in a bloody mess, with no signs of healing. When the woman sighed with regret and prepared to leave, miraculously, the deep scar on the man’s knee quickly closed up and grew pink and tender buds.
The woman stared in surprise.
The team members sitting around also gathered around and watched this miracle in disbelief.
They struggled in this purgatory and could only obtain life supplies by killing other taskers. These supplies included food, water, daily necessities, various weapons, and potions. If they were seriously injured, they could be cured by those magical potions.
But the tall man was the only exception.
No matter how badly he was injured, he had to bear it all by himself. No medicine could help him recover. What was even stranger was that every once in a while, even if he wasn’t fighting, inexplicable scars would appear on his body.
These wounds were so deep that the bones could be seen, or they had rotted into gangrene, or they had eaten through the limbs. Their hideousness was simply too horrible to behold.
The taskers who followed the man could only watch in despair as he became weaker day by day, but they had no solution. Even the most effective S-level potion did not improve the man’s condition. They had a vague feeling that sooner or later, these scars would take his life.
But now, a turning point had appeared! This B-level healing spray was actually effective!
“This is the medicine bottle, everyone look carefully! Be sure to pick it up when you are sniping any missioner!” The female team member showed the blue medicine bottle to everyone.
Everyone nodded excitedly but ignored the captain’s hesitation to speak.
Only the tall man himself knew that the healed wound had nothing to do with the blue potion. It was the little fox that appeared in his dream that brought him hope and a turning point. What was his relationship with him? They had already done that, so they should be lovers, right?
Thinking of the soul-stirring and bone-chilling pleasure, the man who had always been calmer than a mountain actually felt his ears flush.
….
On the other hand, in order to eliminate the possibility of the host making a comeback, 7480 finally chose an ancient plane where no technology existed, and set the time point when the host was about to die.
So when Zhuang Li opened his eyes, what he saw was a battlefield full of flames, soldiers killing each other, blood splattered everywhere, and body parts scattered all over the ground; his ears were filled with the cries of war horses, the howls of soldiers, and the earth-shaking war drums.
The flashes of swords and sabers shuttled back and forth around Zhuang Li. No one knew when one of them would fall on him and tear his body apart.
This was a battlefield, and it happened in ancient times.
There was no technology that could protect Zhuang Li, and no strength that could allow him to leave the battlefield alive. You know, he was a weakling who couldn’t even crush an egg.
7480 laughed wildly in his mind: “Master, this world is exciting enough, right? I only did this at your request. Don’t hate me when you get hacked to death. Hahahahaha…”
A soldier fell down beside Zhuang Li, his body almost cut in half, and the smelly blood splattered all over him. He fell down decisively, gathered several broken bodies around him, smeared his face with blood, and then closed his eyes peacefully.
Rather than risk his life, he chose to play dead.
7480 shouted in disbelief: “F**k, Master, you are not serious, right? You are pretending to be dead? Didn’t you say that as a scientist, you shouldn’t be afraid of having your head chopped off? Why are you so cowardly?”
“I won’t hesitate for a moment to dedicate myself to science. But I would feel humiliated if I were hacked to death for no reason. My value should not be wasted here,” Zhuang Li said righteously.
7480: “….”
Thick-skinned people were invincible! It saw another skill of the host.
The sound of chopping and killing continued to ring in his ears, and soldiers wearing the same battle robes as Zhuang Li fell one after another, and gradually there were only a few left. Based on this, it could be inferred that Zhuang Li’s side had lost this battle, and it was a miserable defeat.
Suddenly, a series of horse hoof sounds came from a nearby hillside, and a column of 500 cavalrymen joined the battlefield.
The enemy, who were so angry that they wanted to kill, shouted in panic: “Le Zhengming is back! Everyone, retreat quickly!”
They actually gave up the victory that was within their grasp and chose to retreat. The drums of war on both sides were beating rapidly, and another round of fierce chopping and killing sounds came from all around.
A sentence kept echoing in Zhuang Li’s mind – Le Zhengming is back!
So he guessed correctly, his lover was indeed the target of the system’s mission every time he traveled. What did he encounter this time? Defeat?
7480 said gloatingly: “It’s not just a simple defeat! He would fall into the enemy’s trap and be betrayed by his own army. In the end, he would be trapped and killed here. After his death, the enemy chopped off his head and hung it on the city wall, and then burned his body to ashes.
“Let me take a look—”
7480 quickly flipped through the script and laughed strangely: “Hehehe, I’m sorry, Master. In three days, I will say goodbye to you forever. I hope you will be reborn into a good family in your next life.”
“Oh, I almost forgot,” 7480 covered his mouth in a very pretentious manner, “The master whose consciousness was devoured by me would have no chance of reincarnation. Master, please enjoy your life for the next three days. I will cheer for you!”
Zhuang Li silently analyzed this passage in his mind, without any anger or panic. He never disliked 7480 for talking too much, because he could extract a lot of useful information from its stupid words. For example, now he had roughly figured out what world he had traveled to this time and what the current situation was.
To ordinary people, war was chaotic, destructive, and ever-changing. But in the eyes of scientists, every war could be described with precise formulas and numbers.
Zhuang Li only had a weak body and no superb martial arts, but he still had brains. Three days was indeed a bit short, but there should be a way out…
While he was thinking, the sound of the battle had slowly faded away. Suddenly, a general as tall and strong as an iron tower pulled Zhuang Li out from the pile of dead bodies and said in a rough voice: “General, there is a coward pretending to be dead here!”
Zhuang Li, who was being held in someone’s hand like a chicken, said: “…”
7480: “…Hahaha, Master, you have this day too!”
