that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked in a hoarse voice: “Has this been verified?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan nodded, then added: “Man Killer Fiends is able to retain a certain amount of consciousness, the stronger they are, the clearer their consciousness”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The President still couldn’t believe it, hesitantly asked: “Impartial Goddess?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impartial Goddess went silent for a while before speaking again: “Both types of viruses has been identified in Bai Sha county Central hospital, Chang Zhou county second-level County hospital, and the Capital’s Emergency Assistance Center, it’s also showing signs of spreading”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it’s true...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The President muttered, his expression was like a boxer in a boxing ring, trying to get up after receiving a straight punch, but couldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gu Qing Shan saw that he suddenly realized, the President was also just an old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The President lifted his head strongly, looking at Gu Qing Shan: “Qing Shan, you’re the most brilliant scientist the Confederate has had over the last couple dozen years, you have to help me, help all the innocent people”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan went silent for a bit, then said: “I will come, but not yet, right now the most important thing is that Impartial Goddess needs to take immediate measures”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them looked at their own Holo-Brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impartial Goddess suddenly spoke up: “Requesting authorization from both Highest Leader, Impartial Goddess will fully take over all matters of the Confederate government”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The President: “I authorize”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan: “I authorize”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impartial Goddess:” Authorization received, the Confederate will now enter the highest state of alert, connecting to the 9 Lords, connecting to the Presidential Office, the three armies have entered Dark Red warring state of emergency”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Begin analyzing appropriate measures”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Measures generated: 1985 types”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Begin selecting measure with relatively highest chance of success”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Selection complete”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Measure selected numbered: Zero”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Begin the next step of intelligence gathering”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The screen began to dim, and finally turned off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with Impartial Goddess’ speed of operation, she couldn’t even spare a moment for Gu Qing Shan, not even a “We’ll take later”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised looking at his Holo-Brain, but turned it off after a few moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Impartial Goddess take notice of it early, this matter can probably be contained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She is the crystallization of all humanity’s best technology, as long as she knows the reason and the specifics regarding how the virus works, she should have a chance to limit the virus from being too wide-spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are no guarantees, but at least there’s a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s already much better than the alternative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that wasn’t enough to make Gu Qing Shan any less tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This life, from today onwards, will be completely different from his last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past life, the monsters and virus appeared a whole year apart from each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within that year, many important things were able to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The viruses weren’t supposed to start showing up until a whole year later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a returner that knows the future, fate really has a way to toy with Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No returner could possibly expect something that’s supposed to happen a year later to happen so early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s like the hand that’s supposed to be dealt was completely washed away, making place for a new hand of cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, not only will the sea monsters very quickly make it onto land, but the virus will spread at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about the other calamities?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would they also happen at the same time too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that’s really the case, the entire world will fall into ruin much sooner than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the past life, World’s Apocalypse Online has already launched when the viruses hit, people already have the ability to travel to the other world and quickly increased their strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, the Apocalypse is already creeping upon them, yet he hasn’t even seen a shadow of World’s Apocalypse Online yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the game still hasn’t launched when the Apocalypse comes, then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’re done for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan’s steps were heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This deep sense of helplessness makes him unable to stay still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the matter, your mood doesn’t seem to be too good” a soothing female voice that’s like wind chimes was heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan looked up to see Anna standing atop a wall, her crimson red hair flowing in the wind as she stared at him without blinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anna” he called her with a husky voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the previous life, Anna died in an endless encirclement of high-level demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, he travelled for days on end without rest, but still didn’t make it in time to save her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation is even worse right now, compared to before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does he have no choice but to helplessly watch her die in front of him again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can’t let that happen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan suddenly remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna’s first tragic fate was to begin about 1 month later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s still a month left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, with the entire world experiencing immense change, how could Gu Qing Shan be confident that Anna’s safety would be guaranteed in the period before that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That fate nearly drove Anna to mentally collapse and suicide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, he definitely can’t let that fate befall Anna again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can’t let Anna return to the Holy Empire!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rapid changes in Gu Qing Shan’s emotions showed in just a few moments, but all of it were caught by Anna’s eyes\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being affected by the frenzy and sorrow in his eyes, Anna looked down, asking: “What happened to you? Which blind son of a bitch dare to offend you, I’ll go beat him up”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan just looked at her without saying anything for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being stared at like that, Anna suddenly felt her face flushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh no, I didn’t wash my hair today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She silently thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan’s expression suddenly changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the War God UI, a red light flashed in his eyes, turning into lines of text\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Space-time is in chaos, the user must immediately enter the cultivation world, otherwise the space tunnel will be shut off completely, unable to open again”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does the user want to enter? YES —- NO”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan looked at the message on War God UI and suddenly realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Space-time is in chaos, probably not just because of the terrifying world of monsters he saw before, but also because the world itself was changing rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t have much time to think, because some lines of text were flashing on the UI.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please enter the cultivation world immediately!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please enter the cultivation world immediately!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The tunnel is closing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“15 seconds countdown begin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan quickly took the time and said: “No matter what happens, do not leave the Confederate, you must absolutely wait until I return”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he said that, Gu Qing Shan also jumped on the wall, took off something from his neck and put it on Anna’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that was done, he held Anna’s hands tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait for me”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the screen flashed and Gu Qing Shan disappeared without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna was stunned for a bit, looked down and took off the thing on her neck\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lonely old man, holding a scythe while sitting at rest on a rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Death’s Relic, the Life Exchanging Contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He returned it to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does he not know what that means?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From now one, if anything were to endanger my life, he would have to pay twice the life force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does he know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna stared blankly at the Life Exchanging Contract for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>———right, he must know, otherwise he wouldn’t put this legendary object on me before leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because I was willing to sacrifice my own life force to save you, that you’re willing to do the same for me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna’s lips lifted up a bit, then lowered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lightly pouted, then smiled brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She has already forgotten what it’s like to feel warmth after her mother passed away when she was still a little girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, she suddenly found that that feeling again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, a shadow ran like the wind from afar, then morphed into Feng Huo De on the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked: “Have you said your goodbyes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna answered: “Not yet”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where did he go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Probably busy doing something, seems like he has a very uncommon type of God’s Chosen Skill”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s fine then, we’ll have to leave first, you can use your Holo-Brain to contact him later” Feng Huo De said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna stood in the shadow of night, not speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bit further away, a fire had started, the screams and cries could be heard even from here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, more and more cries of agony exploded everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like everyone in the entire city had made an appointment to chew their food at the same time, making the same unsavory sound of chewing on meat and bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was filled with a pungent smell of blood, making you feel like you were in a slaughterhouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening scream of agony was raised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems to have signaled something, like the next phase of something even more terrible about to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was filled with the roaring sound of engines as police shuttles were quickly dispatched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crowd of people were screaming in fear as they ran down the streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seems like something isn’t right, Your Highness, we’re leaving now” Feng Huo De said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna suddenly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she added with a determined voice: “I’m not leaving”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Huo De said: “But his majesty ordered us to quickly return, we have to go back right away”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna: “I want to wait for him”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Huo De shook his head in reluctance: “So what if we wait for him, all you can do is talk for a few minutes, his majesty has issued a higher-than-first-rate military recall, if we arrive late then both you and I will be severely punished!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna slowly sat down on the wall, dangling her legs in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said without care: “Since he told me to wait, I’ll wait for him, I’m not leaving”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Huo De sighed helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly he turned around to look at the street corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the opposite street, there seems to be a few drunk people staggering towards them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then they suddenly got down and ran on all fours, looking extremely unsettling as they picked up speed.\u003C\u002Fp>",1749,"2026-06-09T03:05:01.243Z",1,"novelbin.me","a4fc229d6b8c8e3f9f34f8088a384033112d30eab97f7eb3bf4a6f1f4e5ba807","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-99","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-97",1850,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fworlds-apocalypse-online-cover.jpg"]
