Chapter 680 The Truman Show
Chapter 680 The Truman Show
"Meow~"
After swallowing the energy crystal, Mengqi let out a soft meow.
Then it collapsed and began to sleep soundly.
No, this is evolution?
Seeing Mengqi lying on her back with her belly exposed, Su Chen was both amused and exasperated.
He decided to ignore Mengqi for the time being and instead wandered around the oil refinery.
Putting aside other things, when the Watchers came to loot fuel last time, there were still a lot of gasoline and diesel fuel left in the factory area.
Although Su Chen's system shop allows for redemption.
But energy points are still quite precious.
Su Chen quickly arrived at the oil depot and restarted the machine.
"Buzzing..."
As the machine operates, a continuous stream of fuel is ejected from the pipes.
Su Chen found a huge oil drum nearby and filled it with fuel.
He didn't know how much time had passed until no more fuel flowed from the oil depot, at which point he finally gave up.
Just as Su Chen was about to leave, his gaze inadvertently glanced at him.
Suddenly, I noticed something shiny in a corner not far from the factory area.
He walked forward and discovered that there was a huge pile of all kinds of alien crystal weapons.
If I'm not mistaken, this should be what the survivors of Yucheng left behind.
These superhumans either came to hunt zombies voluntarily or were captured.
Regardless of what happened, they eventually became part of the factory, that pile of flesh and blood.
As for their weapons, they were simply tossed aside by the zombies in a corner.
I never expected to benefit myself so much.
Su Chen chuckled and put all the alien crystal weapons into his storage space.
Although he doesn't lack exotic crystals now, no one will complain about good things.
When he finished all that and returned to the center of the factory area, Mengqi was still sleeping soundly.
Based on past experience, it probably won't wake up for a while.
Su Chen shrugged helplessly and had no choice but to pick it up.
Fortunately, he was incredibly strong, so lifting Mengqi, who was so heavy, wasn't too difficult for him.
Su Chen carried Mengqi to the car, but didn't rush back.
This time, he came out not only to seek revenge on the little green-eyed zombie, but also to improve his own strength.
Su Chen drove while sensing the energy around him.
Once he detects a place with abundant energy, he immediately stops the car and begins his cultivation on the spot!
Su Chen continued cultivating until dusk.
He glanced at it and saw that the energy points had reached 50,000, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face!
"Meow~"
Just then, Mengqi, sitting behind the car seat, also let out a low groan.
Su Chen turned his head, looked at Meng Qi who had opened her eyes, and chuckled as he scolded her.
"You lazy bum, you're finally awake!"
"Meow meow meow!"
Mengqi's large head came closer and licked Su Chen.
"Ok?"
Su Chen looked at Meng Qi in front of him, and his heart stirred.
He could sense that Mengqi had clearly changed.
It's not just its strength that has improved from F+ to E-.
Moreover, the feeling it gave Su Chen... seemed more like a human!
Mengqi's eyes are lively and expressive, just like a person's.
Her face also became extremely delicate, and when she pulled at the corners of her mouth, it looked as if she was smiling!
What's the situation?
Could it be that the orange cat has really become a spirit?
Su Chen stroked Mengqi's head, thinking to himself.
Could it be that as Mengqi evolves to a higher level, she might eventually become human?
Without giving it much thought, he started the car and drove towards Yucheng.
On the way back, Su Chen drove while pondering the little green-eyed zombie's words.
"Let them know that you are not worthy of being my stepping stone!"
This statement suggests that "they" wanted to use the little green-eyed zombie as a stepping stone for themselves.
"who are they?
Could he be the mastermind behind the design of the secret realm?
Su Chen thought it was very likely.
Even if they aren't the mastermind, they should be the same kind of entity as the mastermind.
It's important to know that the little green-eyed zombie is quite powerful.
Even if I were to take it down myself, I would have to use the Limitless Steel Flash!
Otherwise, the little green-eyed zombie could have easily killed "them" directly; how could it have been forced to become its stepping stone?
Su Chen had no clue about "their" identities for the time being.
So what does it mean to use someone as a stepping stone?
After careful consideration, Su Chen gained inspiration from the secret realm.
Each time I explore a secret realm, I gain a lot of benefits, which enhances my strength and deepens my evolution.
If I'm not mistaken, the "stepping stone" the little green-eyed zombie mentioned should be someone who kills you to provide you with energy crystals, allowing you to evolve further!
So, is it, along with the secret realm, the monsters, and even this apocalypse, all for the purpose of evolving itself?
Su Chen was secretly alarmed.
But upon closer reflection, he realized he might be overthinking things!
How could this apocalypse that swept across the entire planet have erupted specifically for itself?
Although he was reborn and possessed a system, he seemed to be similar to the protagonist in movies, TV shows, and online novels.
But that seems unlikely.
Unless you live in a fake world like the protagonist in the movie "The Truman Show".
Countless people are watching themselves, both on television screens and outside of novels.
The more Su Chen thought about it, the more bizarre it seemed, and finally he couldn't help but chuckle.
If that were the case, the images of him having sex with various women would probably be leaked.
Mengqi seemed to sense that Su Chen had something on his mind.
It lay on the car's armrest, stuck out its tongue, and licked Su Chen's arm.
"Meow~"
It seemed to be comforting Su Chen, telling him not to overthink it.
Su Chen smiled and shook off the thoughts in his mind.
The real reason for all of this is unclear at the moment.
But he had a feeling that as his level of evolution increased, so too did he.
Sooner or later, the truth of the world will be revealed to us!
……
When Su Chen returned to the Watchers base, it was already completely dark.
He had just arrived at the door of his dormitory when he saw Luo Xiaotian standing guard there.
"Councilor Su, you're finally back!"
Upon seeing Su Chen, he appeared somewhat excited.
"Xiao Luo, I've told you so many times, don't call me Councilor Su in private anymore, it's too polite."
Su Chen paused, then asked again.
"Is there a problem?"
"Brother Su!"
Luo Xiaotian grinned and quickly said,
"It's like this, Speaker Li and Chief Zhao asked me to invite you over to discuss some matters."
"But Mengmeng said you weren't there, so I couldn't go back and just waited here."
Su Chen raised an eyebrow.
"What's the important matter?"
If it were a normal matter, Luo Xiaotian wouldn't need to wait here indefinitely.
The fact that he's waiting for me here means it must be something important!
"Is such that."
Luo Xiaotian glanced around to make sure no one was watching, then whispered,
"Our people have discovered another secret realm!"
