In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone

"They're both dead just like that?"

The atmosphere inside the stealth aircraft's cabin was somewhat stiff.

All six esper were contemplating their next move.

Among the six of them, four belonged to a fixed esper capital action team, affiliated with the [Esper Capital Gray Feather Investigation Team].

The other two, plus the esper C and D who were just sniped at Fortress No. 3 gate, were coordinated and borrowed from Fortress No. 82…

Cannon fodder.

Therefore, although two espers had died at this moment, it didn't have much impact on the Gray Feather Investigation Team's squad.

Those two loudmouth cannon fodder were originally sent by them to test the waters.

"As expected of the Devil Commander's territory."

A slightly hoarse, naturally sexy female voice sounded.

The woman speaking was codenamed 'Saman,' a B-grade telekinetic esper, with tanned skin and a fit figure.

Saman was dressed very seductively, with a brown bandeau being the only fabric on her upper body, while her lower body was covered by a soft, light gray long skirt. Her pretty face was veiled, revealing a hint of mystery in her light blue eyes.

A crystal ball sat in front of Saman, which she occasionally rubbed with her hand.

Opposite Saman, the burly man, at least two meters tall, codenamed 'Bristlebear,' was a B-grade body enhancement esper.

Bristlebear crossed his arms and frowned, saying:

"The Devil Commander is my idol. If possible, I don't want to cause trouble in his territory."

"Probably anyone buffer than you is your idol."

The middle-aged woman, the leader of the four-person squad, scolded impatiently.

The middle-aged woman was codenamed 'Dragonfly Granny'—these codenames were chosen by themselves when they joined the job.

Dragonfly Granny's face was a little puffy, her hair a little messy, and she was wearing a dirty nightgown, looking like she hadn't taken care of herself for weeks. A strong smell could be detected up close, a mixture of sweat, smoke, and alcohol.

Although this granny looked a little sloppy and decadent, she was the only one here with true A-grade combat power, an A-grade esper.

Dragonfly Granny was currently looking at the information in front of her, leaning on the edge of the table, tapping her fingers on the surface, thinking carefully.

The last member of the four-person squad was…

A tree.

This was a thin, small man, covered in a thick layer of bark, his hair consisting of small green sprouts. Small branches grew from the bark all over his body from time to time, which he then clipped off with a small pair of scissors.

Only a few parts of the man's body, such as his hands, face, and joints, were not covered by bark. His clothes were also particularly economical, consisting only of a specially made pair of briefs.

'Treant Beta' was his codename;

'Best Firewood Supplier for Wilderness Survival' was his team role;

'A-grade Mutant Esper' was his internal esper rating;

'The Most Useless A-grade Esper' was his nickname.

Treant Beta asked in a low voice: "Captain, did you offend some leader? You've actually been sent to do such a dangerous mission."

Dragonfly Granny rolled her eyes: "Isn't such a challenging mission a recognition of our strength? Don't mention those old bastards to me! Damn it, they even want to sleep with someone like me, so disgusting!"

Bristlebear narrowed his eyes and said: "There are indeed a few seniors among the espers who like the unconventional."

"Want to try me, believe it or not!" Dragonfly Granny shouted fiercely.

Bristlebear quickly admitted his mistake and yielded.

"Let's discuss the battle plan first, Captain," Saman said worriedly, "What specific orders did the higher-ups give us? This operation makes me feel very dangerous."

"Oh, haven't I told you the specifics yet?"

Dragonfly Granny reluctantly perked up, glanced at the two cannon fodder espers sitting in the corner, not daring to breathe loudly, and said impatiently:

"You two good-for-nothings, put on your noise-canceling headphones and turn around."

"Yes!"

The two quickly put in their earplugs, put on their headphones, turned on some high-energy music, and faced the corner to reflect on their mistakes.

Dragonfly Granny raised her hand and pushed, and a three-dimensional projection screen magnified in front of the four of them, showing a photo of Black Storm, with two marked boxes beside it containing information about Mu Liang and Zhou Tiantian.

"First of all, this guy, codenamed Black Storm, formerly known as Mu Liang and Zhou Tiantian, is an esper trained by the military.

"According to preliminary investigations, he may be the first military esper with comprehensive strength comparable to a 'C-minus grade' esper. He has high military literacy and strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities. He was previously active in Fortress No. 76. The Kong Nu incident and Qin Qin's capture are directly related to him."

Bristlebear asked: "I know Qin Qin, a researcher with a super figure. I heard she can simultaneously make three old men unable to get out of bed… Who is this Kong Nu?"

"Who the hell knows who Kong Nu is."

Dragonfly Granny shrugged:

"According to the information, he should be a researcher who wanted to enter the Esper Capital? There are many fools like this who sharpen their heads and want to squeeze into the Esper Capital. What's so good about the Esper Capital."

Saman immediately said: "Can you not be so crude, Bristlebear? Is it fun to spread yellow rumors about women?"

"Then I'll change my wording," Bristlebear said seriously, "Qin Qin is a super-figured, independent, and self-reliant academic researcher who doesn't succumb to male authority and can simultaneously defeat the physical strength of three old men."

Treant Beta couldn't help but laugh.

Saman snorted: "You really! You're too arrogant!"

Bristlebear raised his eyebrows, not taking it to heart.

"Can you listen to me! Don't force me to cut off your reproductive organs and let them pair up themselves!"

Dragonfly Granny cursed, and the two instantly became obedient.

Treant Beta trimmed the branches on his arm and asked, puzzled: "Is it really necessary to make such a big fuss for just a C-grade comprehensive strength military esper?"

"Black Storm is just a target we're investigating incidentally. The most troublesome problem inside this fortress is this."

Dragonfly Granny gently pushed her right hand.

A photo of a teenager sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed by Zheng Shiduo into the Lingtong Supply Station, appeared in front of everyone.

Bristlebear's eyes lit up: "Zheng Shiduo? I know him! A very famous perverted esper! A balanced esper with average strength!"

"Look at the teenager he's pushing! This is the biggest trouble."

Dragonfly Granny said quickly:

"There's very little information about this teenager because he was just a poor guy in a laboratory before, a clone of the S-grade mutant esper Beast Speaker. Thousands of clones were infused, creating a small number of successful experimental subjects, and he is one of them.

"He possesses some of the abilities of the Beast Speaker big shot. His previous esper reaction level was B, and his comprehensive threat index is very high.

"According to the information we have, this poor little guy played a huge role in the recent battle to encircle and suppress the Young King Worms.

"Those old guys above believe that Fortress No. 76 suddenly expelled all espers, used political means to detain Team Leader Wei Linzheng and old hooligan Feng Bangjie, and announced that Fortress No. 76 would not accept any esper's entry during the investigation period in order to protect this clone of the Beast Speaker."

The others pondered carefully.

Bristlebear asked: "I remember, don't these clones usually not live long? And they all have to rely on nutrient pods to survive. He looks… very healthy."

"That's the most shocking thing. He should have died, but now he's alive, and his complexion is ruddy, healthier than all of us."

Dragonfly Granny sighed:

"When Qin Qin brought him here, he was clearly about to die and was marked as a valueless experimental target."

"So," Treant Beta asked, "our main task is to eliminate him?"

"Not eliminate, but investigate."

Dragonfly Granny said simply:

"We are the Gray Feather Investigation Team, not the Destruction Team or the Judgment Team. We only need to collect intelligence and report it to those old perverts to complete the mission."

Treant Beta sighed: "That's good. This kind of child is too pitiful. No matter what means the military used to save him, it's always good to be alive."

"Threats should be eliminated as early as possible," Bristlebear muttered.

Saman said worriedly: "But the fortress's design is easy to defend and difficult to attack. How should we investigate? They've blocked all paths."

Click.

Dragonfly Granny lit a cigarette for herself, leaned back in the simple folding chair, put her left hand behind the back of the chair, gently exhaled a smoke ring, and said indifferently:

"There are a total of three investigation directions next. No matter which of these three directions achieves a breakthrough, we can just slip away.

"Don't forget, this is the Devil Commander's territory. If he wants to mess with us, we won't be able to walk out alive, and no one will say a word of mercy for us. Those idiots are also afraid of the terror mecha.

"Phew.

"The first investigation direction is related to Black Storm, which requires taking samples from him.

"The second investigation direction is the Beast Speaker clone, determining his current energy level, physical condition, estimated lifespan, and the optional addition of finding the military technology that saved him.

"The third investigation direction is more comprehensive, that is, the necessity analysis of the continued existence of Fortress No. 76 in the Middle Basin. We need to give the comprehensive threat level of this place and submit it to end this mission."

Saman asked softly: "So, how should we investigate now?"

Slap!

Dragonfly Granny slapped a form on the table: "This captain's suggestion is… investigate my ass! Just fill in 'extremely dangerous' and let the S-grade espers directly destroy this fortress! Who agrees? Who opposes?"

"We can't do that!" "I object!"

Saman and Treant Beta raised their hands at the same time.

Bristle Bear said, "I agree, let's be direct."

"Alright, so the current vote is three to one."

Dragonfly Auntie looked at Bristle Bear and said quickly:

"According to the principle of minority obeying the majority, you are the main investigator this time, Bristle Bear!"

"Take these two wastes raised by the spiritual energy home of the fortress… cough, these two strapping assistants, and investigate one of the three options above!"

Bristle Bear looked puzzled, a little unable to understand.

Wait, wasn't it, just now, like this, like that, how did it become this?

Clang!

The door of the cloaked aircraft opened for a few seconds and then immediately closed.

Bristle Bear and the two spirit users who were still wearing headsets stood blankly outside the hatch, facing the endless yellow sand.

Bristle Bear's forehead was covered with black lines, and a withered yellow leaf flashed across the back of his head.

Inside the aircraft cabin.

Dragonfly Auntie yawned, walked to a small refrigerator, took out a bottle of spirits, opened the stopper, took two swigs, and revealed a comfortable smile.

Sha Man asked softly, "Captain, are we not doing anything?"

"Haven't we already done something? We sent out a powerful humanoid probe!"

Dragonfly Auntie winked her right eye:

"If Bristle Bear dies, the investigation form will be filled with extremely dangerous."

"If Bristle Bear is injured, the investigation form will be filled with relatively dangerous."

"If Bristle Bear is safe and sound and investigates something inside the fortress, then it is a general threat."

"Is it unreasonable?"

Treant Beta: "Reasonable."

Sha Man: "Genius!"

"I'm still on the communication channel, damn it!" Bristle Bear roared angrily.

… …

A few hours later.

Fortress Central City, in elevator No. 11, which is rising.

Wang Jixuan, dressed in a combat uniform and disguised as a soldier of the Purge Force, crossed his arms and thought about the simple investigation just now.

The good news is that he collected fragments of that kind of crystal.

There is also bad news…

Now, there is an energy type that even Taoist Wang cannot understand.

This Blade Beast nest has begun to fill with operations, and those crystals are distributed relatively widely. Almost every 'larval chamber' can be found, but most of them have been damaged by the insects.

The crystals themselves are as textured as turbid quartz, growing in clusters from the rock.

As Deep Sea said before, as long as you try to pull them out, whether by hand, by machine, or by the telekinesis of a spirit user, they will immediately explode, and you may be seriously injured without protective measures.

Taoist Wang originally thought that this was a 'device' that absorbed the spiritual power of the earth's veins.

[Earth Vein Spiritual Power: The spiritual energy contained in the earth is usually polluted by turbid air. It is often used as a source of spiritual power for mountain protection formations and is also an important basis for finding underground spiritual mines.]

But he carefully explored with his spiritual sense, but found no trace of earth vein spiritual power.

This crystal does contain energy, and this energy does come from the earth, but it is not spiritual power, nor is it something that Wang Jixuan knows. Blade Beasts can transform this energy into spiritual power.

Science cannot understand it;

The immortal method cannot understand it;

'Could it be, is it really some alien technology?'

'Ah, these Blade Beasts can really be regarded as an alien civilization invasion.'

Taoist Wang was a little confused.

He also carried a few exploded crystals in his backpack and decided to study them carefully during his cultivation and weapon refining intervals later.

Maybe he could discover more little secrets of the Blade Beasts.

"Boss!"

Deep Sea coughed and muttered softly as the elevator was about to reach the seventh floor:

"That kind of great sword… could you get me one too? It doesn't have to be as strong as Lingtong's, just, it would be good to have something like that, I'll use it to coax my wife…"

"Yes," Wang Jixuan said with a smile, "Uncle Tai knows what materials I want to use, so let him prepare in advance."

Deep Sea breathed a sigh of relief.

He never asks for help from others in his life, but this time he really can't stand his wife's nagging.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, please treat me to a cup of tea later."

"No problem!"

Ding ding.

The elevator door opened, Wang Jixuan pulled down the brim of his hat, lowered his head and was about to walk out.

"Hum hum hum hum ~"

At the edge of the naturally released spiritual sense, Wang Jixuan captured a brisk hum and a familiar figure.

Neighbor on the right?

Wang Jixuan carefully explored with his spiritual sense and saw the scene of the young girl riding a bicycle and leisurely passing by the wheat field.

Something's wrong.

The dormitory building and the nursery where she works are in the other direction, at least two kilometers away. How could she appear in a relatively marginal location?

Taoist Wang didn't want to investigate further.

But a white-clothed girl's back flashed through his mind, and that back was surrounded by a faint black aura.

So, Wang Jixuan frowned slightly and said to Deep Sea, "I'm going for a walk," lowered his head and walked aside, making Deep Sea a little confused.
