Worlds’ Apocalypse Online
chapter-1194

Night.

Six fighter jets emanating a streak of flaming tail soared through the dark sky.

Their communicators rang out all at once.

[Zi–]

[Fox One, Fox Two, please proceed from the Southeast direction]

[Fox Four, Fox Five, you will proceed from the Northwest direction of the city]

[Fox Six, Fox Seven, perform a U-turn, be ready for your orders!]

[Attention, wait for your exact orders, this strike must be conducted in unison]

[Do you copy?]

The six pilots answered at once: “Copy!”

The six fighter jets scattered in the air in different directions.

…

At the same time.

The surrounded city.

The hole in the middle.

Ye Ru Xi looked around.

Everyone——-

All of her comrades who had been fighting by her sides were displaying distant expressions.

“I… simply wanted to save…”

She muttered with difficulty.

Li Da Jun laid on the ground, staring closely into the void of space, then suddenly grinned.

His mouth and nose were full of blood as he declared with a cruel expression: “General Ye, so long as you are alive, they will never stop bombarding this place. If you truly want to save this world, quickly go ahead and die”

Bam!

Gu Qing Shan used the side of his sword to hit him above his neck and knocked him unconscious.

Ye Ru Xi slowly turned towards her other comrades.

“Colonel Zhang, what do you think?”

She asked with a calm voice.

Hearing that, a certain male officer displayed a complicated expression.

“Ru Xi, you should know” he tried his best to pick his words, then slowly replied, “I’m actually a carrier of [Order] as well, and you are currently everyone’s priority target, you must die”

“But I can’t kill you, nor do I want to fight to death with you, so quickly leave already”

His officer turned his face away, then muttered: “If you remain, everyone here will truly lose their lives”

Ye Ru Xi fell silent.

That final statement was the most important one.

She suddenly turned to Gu Qing Shan’s trio and asked: “Why did you help me just now?”

Zhang Ying Hao was currently drinking a canned drink when he answered: “When you see injustice”

Ye Fei Li was also drinking and followed up as he raised his can: “You help in whatever way you can”

Gu Qing Shan replied in a solemn tone: “If you want to leave, you had better do it quickly. After a while, the radioactive fallout will rain down together with dust, it would be hard to escape even if you wanted to by that point”

Saying so, he also gulped down the second canned drink in his hand.

His spirit energy was recovering rapidly.

Ye Fei Li’s ability is truly excellent, no wonder even Boss wanted to remain with us.

Ye Ru Xi observed the three strangers in front of her, then her old comrades, as if wanting to keep this scene forever in mind.

“I’ll be going, farewell”

She leapt straight to the sky and disappeared into the grey fog above.

“Fei Li, give chase” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Got it”

Ye Fei Li caught the other two with his hands, spread his bright-red wings wide and carried them with him.

…

“Why did you follow me?”

Ye Ru Xi was quickly flying in front of them and asked without turning around.

Gu Qing Shan’s trio was closely following her.

“General Ye, you’re powerful, if you can cooperate with us, we’d make a considerable force—— in the end, our goal is simply to survive, I hope you’ll understand” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Survive.

Ye Ru Xi was surprised and didn’t answer him for now.

On the way.

The four of them continued forward.

The ground was completely scorched, countless charred corpses filled the entire zone.

Ruined buildings were still burning with smoke and fire, the city seemed like it had just been plunged into a sea of flames, leaving behind only the purgatory aftermath.

Ye Ru Xi’s gaze passed through these corpses.

She wiped the corner of her eyes.

“Is this all my fault? Is my very existence wrong?” he questioned herself.

Gu Qing Shan sighed.

I didn’t think that [Order] would be willing to cause such mass destruction simply to erase this unawakened Deity of [Chaos].

Then what difference would they have from the Apocalypse?

Gu Qing Shan answered her: “It’s not that you’re at fault, but rather humanity itself has always had many faults. This is simply an eternal truth, there’s no need for you to blame yourself”

Ye Ru Xi asked: “Can we win against these faults?”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “It would be very difficult, humanity had always been this way, there is no such thing as an end”

Ye Ru Xi dejectedly asked: “If there is no chance of success from the very start, what meaning is there for our actions in the first place?”

Gu Qing Shan stated: “The ultimate outcome is irrelevant, and so is the hearsay of million others”

Ye Ru Xi remained silent, then sorrowfully laughed:

“Who would’ve thought, the one who would accompany me on my path would actually be a stranger”

She continued heading forward but did not fly as quickly as earlier.

Gu Qing Shan sensed the direction of the wind, then said: “This is currently our best chance to escape. We should fly perpendicular to the direction of the wind; this would make sure that we avoid most of the radioactive fallout”

Ye Ru Xi paused.

The four of them changed directions and continued heading forward.

“Hey, Qing Shan, I have a question” Ye Fei Li said.

“Go head” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Ying Hao’s shot clearly hit the nuclear bomb, but when something like that is damaged, it shouldn’t be able to detonate——- that’s how I’ve always seen it in the movies”

“Those movies you watch only showed unarmed nuclear bombs” Zhang Ying Hao replied.

“Is there a difference?” Ye Fei Li asked.

Zhang Ying Hao answered: “Keep this in mind, you can never underestimate the cruelty of the human mind”

Gu Qing Shan explained: “From what I’ve seen of history, in-flight nuclear warheads are always programmed with a certain function when it gets within a certain range of its target”

Zhang Ying Hao continued: “When the casing of the nuclear warhead endures a certain amount of kinetic energy – like how it was shot earlier, or if it touches the ground – that function would trigger within 0.01s of the impact and detonate the nuclear bomb – bang!”

Gu Qing Shan followed up: “This is called better safe than sorry”

“Also known as massacring a city to not release a single person” Zhang Ying Hao added.

Ye Fei Li seriously pondered this, then couldn’t help himself from shivering.

Gu Qing Shan abruptly stopped.

He saw a large number of military vehicles and devices that had been knocked over on the side of the road.

“Wait a moment”

He ran towards them.

Zhang Ying Hao shouted from behind: “They’re probably useless now”

Gu Qing Shan entered the car, searched around for a bit to find a map.

He took the map back to Ye Ru Xi.

“Where are we now?”

Ye Ru Xi examined the map and pointed at a certain point.

Gu Qing Shan observed it a bit and muttered: “Although the monsters have surrounded the city, there’s a large river not too far away from us”

“We won’t be able to cross” Ye Ru Xi replied, “There are powerful aquatic monsters in the water”

“Is that so” Gu Qing Shan said.

Ye Ru Xi said: “If we want to break through the encirclement, it would be better to do so on land. This way we would be able to use our powers. If we enter the water, we’d be restrained by it and be killed more easily instead”

Gu Qing Shan suddenly stopped.

“What’s the matter?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.

“Nothing” Gu Qing Shan smiled.

Zhang Ying Hao looked at him, then at his arm.

His hairs stood on their ends again.

“What the fuck… Old Gu, take a look at this” Zhang Ying Hao muttered.

“Wait a moment”

Gu Qing Shan replied, then gazed at the void of space.

Lines of glowing text appeared from the void of space:

[Worlds Apocalypse Online: Living Beings Order is attempting to reinforce itself on you]

[Due to the War God UI’s prevention, reinforcement had failed]

[The Order had requested a telepathic connection; would you like to connect?]

Gu Qing Shan hesitated for a moment before replying: “Allow it”

Right away, a voice filled with holy presence resounded in Gu Qing Shan’s ears:

[Entity of unknown background, listen]

[You definitely cannot allow the Deity of Chaos: Ye Ru Xi to awaken, you must kill her, immediately! Immediately!]

Gu Qing Shan questioned in a heavy voice: “What would happen if she awakened? If you are the [Living Beings Order], why did you massacre millions of living beings in this world?”

[I had no other choice!]

The voice suddenly raised up high and replied with a solemn tone: [If they were any other Deity of Chaos, Under this current apocalyptic situation, the Order would not have acted that way. This Order’s number one priority is the survival of living beings]

[But not her, she definitely must not awaken!]

“Why?” Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but question.

[Because among all the seeds of Chaos, she is one of decisive importance]

[She is the Deity of Chaos summoning that not even the Reality Gate can stop]

[To eradicate the Apocalypse, she would summon entities to destroy all living beings in existence]

[When there are no longer any living beings, so there would no longer be any Apocalypse]

[To destroy it all, this is the meaning of her existence]

[You must not allow her to awaken!]

When Gu Qing Shan was about to speak, Ye Fei Li caught his hand.

“Not good!”

Ye Fei Li hurriedly explained: “That noise from earlier—– the noise of nuclear warheads! Six of them in total!”
