After opening his eyes.
Xu Zhengyang found himself lying inside a white eggshell.
At this moment, Xu Zhengyang's consciousness had not yet fully sorted through the knowledge, and he was not completely awake.
So after he regained consciousness.
He lay in the eggshell for several minutes to gather his memories back together.
Immediately after.
Xu Zhengyang instinctively took out his phone to check the time.
But his phone was already turned off, no matter how he tried to operate it, the phone remained like a brick, unresponsive.
"Out of battery?" Xu Zhengyang speculated.
Then, unable to help himself, Xu Zhengyang said, "So how long have I been lying here?"
As he spoke.
Xu Zhengyang tried to punch the inside of the eggshell, wanting to break out from within.
"Crack!"
With a gentle punch, the eggshell shattered from the inside out, and Xu Zhengyang returned to his shelter.
"Master, you're awake!"
As soon as Xu Zhengyang came out, he heard Da Bai's excited voice.
Then, Xu Zhengyang noticed that a character graphic appeared on the display on Da Bai's face, showing excitement as well.
Thinking about how his phone had run out of battery.
Xu Zhengyang asked Da Bai, "How long have I been in hibernation this time?"
"Almost three and a half months, Master!" Da Bai replied, projecting a perpetual calendar onto Xu Zhengyang's contact lenses.
"Mm?"
When Xu Zhengyang saw that the date on the perpetual calendar had reached October 5th, he couldn't help but exclaim, "So the apocalypse is coming in three days?!"
"Yes, Master."
As Da Bai spoke, he provided a briefing on various major events that had occurred during Xu Zhengyang's three and a half months of hibernation, in chronological order, projected onto Xu Zhengyang's contact lenses.
He explained, "Overall, although you have been in hibernation for three and a half months, the current situation is not much different from before you went into hibernation.
Although there have been sporadic outbreaks of the Blood Plague around the world, under the suppression of modern firepower, those outbreaks have not gained much momentum.
Whenever they appear, they are immediately suppressed!
Moreover, according to announcements from the World Health Organization.
They have made preliminary progress on how to treat the Blood Plague, and according to them, within six months, they will be able to release a treatment plan for the Blood Plague!"
"…"
Xu Zhengyang fell silent upon hearing this.
He did not expect that after absorbing 10 points of Spark from the Proof of Leadership, it would lead him to hibernate for such a long time! He quickly looked down to check his attributes, wanting to see what changes the ultimate skill of Proof of Leadership, the Mechanical Heart, had brought him!
[Mechanical Heart: Converts your Mental Strength into mechanical power (unique), allowing you to manipulate all your mechanical devices using this power.]
(Note: The Mechanical Heart possesses immortal power. As long as your heart is not completely extinguished, you can repair any damage to your body by consuming energy!)
After reading the attributes of the Mechanical Heart, Xu Zhengyang's breathing quickened!
The last skill unlocked by Proof of Leadership was Soul Immortality, and now with the Mechanical Heart skill, he had gained the ability of physical immortality!
At that moment.
He suddenly recalled the dream he had during his hibernation and couldn't help but say, "So...
That wasn't entirely a dream; there really existed such a colossal entity in this universe!"
Thinking of this.
Xu Zhengyang suddenly felt an immense excitement, "So...
With the Mechanical Heart, can I at least reach that level in the future?!"
Just then.
Da Bai suddenly continued to Xu Zhengyang, "By the way, Master, while you were in hibernation, Chen Yong came here several times looking for you.
Do you need to return his call?"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Over forty video windows appeared on Xu Zhengyang's contact lenses, showing scenes of Chen Yong searching for him at the shelter.
"Uncle Chen..."
Seeing the series of videos sent by Da Bai, a warm current surged in Xu Zhengyang's heart.
In this world, there were still people who cared about him.
"By the way!"
At that moment, Xu Zhengyang suddenly remembered that the apocalypse was coming in three days.
So he hurried to the armory to take ten rifles and ten handguns, along with several rounds of ammunition, and put them into his Dimensional Space Pocket.
After packing up.
Xu Zhengyang then asked Da Bai, "Da Bai, is Uncle Chen's company still operating? Where is he now?"
"Chen Yong's company ceased operations three months ago, and at that time, he moved into the shelter he built with his wife, son, and others."
Da Bai said, marking the location of Chen Yong's shelter on Xu Zhengyang's vision.
"Okay."
Seeing this, Xu Zhengyang nodded and immediately left the shelter, driving straight to Chen Yong's house!
…
White City was once a nationally recognized civilized city and a national sanitary city.
But now.
Due to the Blood Plague.
Public areas were left uncleaned and maintained, causing the entire White City to become littered with garbage, losing all its former cleanliness and tidiness.
When Xu Zhengyang drove to Chen Yong's house, he found Chen Yong was in the small yard with his wife, drying sweet potatoes.
When Chen Yong heard a car stop at his doorstep and came to knock on his door.
He immediately gripped a pitchfork in both hands and cautiously approached the door.
But when Chen Yong looked through the peephole and saw Xu Zhengyang standing at the door with a large cardboard box in his arms.
He immediately dropped the pitchfork, opened the door, and exclaimed excitedly, "Azheng!"
As he spoke.
Chen Yong patted Xu Zhengyang's shoulder, confirming he was okay, then quickly pulled him into the yard and shut the door.
Then, with a slightly reproachful tone, Chen Yong said to Xu Zhengyang, "Where have you been these past few months? Why didn't you even give a heads-up? I went to your place several times and couldn't find you!"
"I've been really busy lately, just couldn't get away."
Xu Zhengyang smiled and then apologized, "So as soon as I finally had some free time, I brought some good stuff to see you."
"Just having you here is enough, just having you here is enough!"
Chen Yong cheerfully pulled Xu Zhengyang into the inner room, while telling his wife, "Honey, quickly go get that box next to my bedside!"
Once inside.
Xu Zhengyang had just set down the cardboard box in his hands, preparing to hand the guns over to Chen Yong.
But Chen Yong, holding a box the size of a book, mysteriously said to Xu Zhengyang, "I came looking for you several times before because I wanted to give you something; this thing was really hard to get!"
"What is it?"
Xu Zhengyang asked seriously, thinking Chen Yong had found something to help increase his Mental Strength limit
.
But when Chen Yong opened the box and took out a turtle shell with the rifling completely worn down, Xu Zhengyang was left utterly bewildered.
