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

Wearing a loose nightgown, the old woman stood in front of the door, frowning at Wang Jixuan.

Wang Jixuan directly felt the other party's hostility… … Rather than hostility, it was more like a dislike.

"Are you surnamed Zhou?" the old woman, Kong Lianmei, asked with a frown.

"Yes, please come in and sit down."

Wang Jixuan got up and made way.

"Hmm," Kong Lianmei nodded, closed the door after entering, "Keep your voice down, don't disturb the children. Instinct tells me you're a small but significant trouble. I've seen too many young people."

Wang Jixuan pondered for a few moments, unsure how to respond.

Grandma Kong sat down on the edge of the bed, staring at Wang Jixuan's disguised face with a pair of calm and deep old eyes.

"Have you heard of Zhou Meiying?" she asked.

"No."

"She's a high-ranking official. People surnamed Zhou within the fortress should all know her."

Wang Jixuan chuckled inwardly.

This old hag was testing him.

Sixty-nine years old was, after all, too young compared to over a hundred and twenty years old.

"I don't know these things," Daoist Wang said, with appropriate anxiety and restraint in his eyes, "If I have the chance to see my uncle again, I can help you ask him."

"Ask him that for what? I hate that guy."

Grandma Kong snorted, frowning and thinking about something, seemingly trying to figure out how to drive this young man away.

She suddenly said, "Are you a lolicon?"

"Huh?"

"Do you have any perverted fantasies about the girls here?"

Grandma Kong's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Wang Jixuan's face.

A handgun appeared in her right hand, its silver barrel polished brightly.

Wang Jixuan raised his hand and rubbed his brow.

The landlady muttered, scolding, "Don't think I don't know where that Xiaohua runs her shop! The pervert district of Joy City! It's full of perverts! The most twisted and darkest desires of human civilization are there! You've been there, haven't you? You've been corrupted! You little rascal!"

"No, no, no, I actually… …don't like the women here."

The landlady was furious: "Oh, heavens! I have a few boys here too! That's even more terrifying! Are you one of those disgusting religious leaders from the Golden Age?!"

"I really don't have any such quirks! Absolutely not! What I like are some… …first of all, they must have an ethereal temperament, wear long skirts, have long hair, speak politely, and have a gentle and refined personality. Yes, refined, that temperament is very important."

Wang Jixuan said solemnly:

"I can swear on the reputation of my former teacher, I will absolutely not look for any Dao companions here!"

The landlady stared carefully into Wang Jixuan's eyes, then slowly nodded, put the handgun back into her nightgown pocket, and muttered to herself:

"Good, young man, your eyes tell me you're not lying."

"You've temporarily passed my personality test. I'll continue to observe you. Don't think that getting rid of me will solve everything. I have many, many children, and they're in the major gangs in the lower city!"

"But I must remind you, that refined temperament is rarely seen in the fortress anymore."

"You can stay here now. Tomorrow I'll arrange a helper's chore for you, enough to support yourself."

Wang Jixuan said: "Can I postpone working for a few days? I still have some Joy Coins that my uncle sent someone to give me, which I can pay you as rent. I want to rest for a while. The previous wandering has made me feel very tired."

"That won't do, everyone has to work, you can't… …"

Grandma Kong frowned, looking at the twelve Joy Coins that appeared in front of her.

"Well, it's not like you can't."

She grabbed the round metal coins, muttering, "This will only let you live here for three months! After three months, you must go out and work! And listen carefully, if you go to work for those gangs and harm people, move out of here after three months!"

"Okay, thank you. It won't take that long, I'm very interested in planting."

Wang Jixuan felt very happy.

Communicating with this old woman made him feel unexpectedly interesting.

However, two minutes later.

"Here! Use it sparingly! I'll give you at most one roll a week!"

A roll of soft and yellowed recycled toilet paper was thrown into Wang Jixuan's arms, and the old woman outside the door muttered, 'You kid better be honest with me,' as she slowly walked away.

Wang Jixuan looked at the roll of paper, stunned and not yet realizing what it meant. Little Yezi's laughter, which she was trying hard to suppress, already came from the hallway.

Several black lines appeared on his forehead.

Forget it, let's cultivate and experience the quality of the spiritual energy here.

Wang Jixuan got up and locked the door, and also used a 'T.E.R' text poster to cover the gap in the door.

Wang Jixuan had also seen these three letters many times in Mu Liang's memory.

Five hearts facing the sky, internal circulation of the heavens, wisps of spiritual energy gathered.

'Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, the spiritual energy here seems to only be a little more, a little purer, but the cultivation speed is nearly 40% faster than on the thirteenth floor!'

'Why didn't I discover this before! I've clearly been to the edge of the Wanli Jin gang's territory before.'

'This poor Daoist is settling down here!'

'If Yezi doesn't keep dragging me to do housework afterwards.'

Wang Jixuan thought with some worry.

… …

Two relatively peaceful weeks passed in a flash.

At the border between the Blackfire Gang and the Wanli Jin Gang, inside a discarded shack made of an iron box.

Wang Jixuan sat in the darkness, skillfully pressing the square box in front of him—the text exchanger.

This was the third time he had communicated with Zhou Zhengde since arriving in the Wanli Jin Gang's territory.

[02: Found the entrance to the tunnel. Behind the bookshelf in the study. The entrance is scattered with irregular dust. Didn't dare to go straight in.]

He waited for a while, about twenty seconds.

[01: Installed the surveillance?]

[02: Installed. The secret room and the tunnel entrance I discovered earlier have both been equipped. The day before yesterday, I explored the direction the tunnel extends above, and I can confirm that it directly reaches the Blackfire Gang's hinterland, connecting several vital areas of the Blackfire Gang.]

[01: Amazing discovery! This is very likely the Blackfire Gang's high-level escape route! Where exactly did that androgynous uncle take you?]

[02: His adoptive mother's house. His adoptive mother is related to the Blackfire Gang. It's likely that this old woman has a son who is a high-level member of the Blackfire Gang. This can be considered an unexpected discovery.]

[01: Fantastic! I'll send people to ambush there! We must wipe them all out! Especially that sinful Wen Heisen!]

[02: Don't come over, you'll disturb me. I quite like it here.]

Wang Jixuan glanced at the amazingly amplifying Qi within his body.

He had originally estimated that it would take him at least three months to reach the state of abundant Qi, but now… …

It would only take another month!

If he could get enough Bladebeast blood, refine and extract the spiritual energy within it, half a month might be enough!

The most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Say ⊥ Is ⊥ In ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ Book ⊥ ⊥ Bar ⊥ ⊥ First ⊥ Post!

Because of the increase in cultivation efficiency, he could now perfectly balance fighting the Blackfire Gang and cultivating.

[01: Have you been reading again recently?]

[02: I finished 'Fortress Engineering Applications' and 'Fortress Pipeline Laying' these past few days, and I'm currently reading 'Modern Physics Applications' and 'Weapons That Make Bladebeasts Fear'.]

[01: I didn't get a chance to ask you last time, where did you find these hidden books?]

[02: My landlady's study, on the bookshelf next to the tunnel entrance. My landlady lets me read them as I please. Reading is the ladder to human progress, she always says.]

[01: Your landlady is very suspicious. The hidden books, secret room, and passageway all prove it. Is there anything else you need? I recently got some single-soldier equipment from my uncle, but I still can't get single-soldier rocket rounds. That thing would threaten the stability of the fortress's internal pillars. It's a pity we can't use that thing to bomb D-level psionics.]

Wang Jixuan hesitated for a moment, but still stated his needs.

[02: Bladebeast bones, blood, and anything else you can get related to Bladebeasts.]

[01: … …]

[01: Do you want these to increase your own power? Alas, don't tell me your power also comes from Bladebeasts.]

[02: Also? Psionics?]

[01: Yes, it's said that psionics are all cultivated using the power of Bladebeasts, but this technology is in the hands of the Thirteenth Institute, and the mortality rate is very high. I should be able to get a trace amount of Bladebeast blood. Are those magical papers of yours made with Bladebeast blood? Alas, I've still established a connection with the power of Bladebeasts.]

Wang Jixuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

[02: For me, the power of Bladebeasts is just a shortcut. I have to use them and remove the impurities inside. Even without them, I can become stronger.]

[01: (°□°)]

[02: Chat next time. Send the next batch of supplies to the old location on the forty-ninth floor. I have some business to take care of tonight.]

[01: Business? What?]

[02: Eliminating demons, defending the Dao, protecting righteousness, resolving karma, and stabilizing the Xuan heart. (￣︶￣)]

Wang Jixuan casually turned off the machine to conserve power.

He put the text exchanger into the iron box in front of him, quickly took off his shirt and trousers, folded them, and put them in it.

These past two weeks, he had been doing quite well under Little Yezi's care.

Although he had to help with some housework every day, it didn't take up too much cultivation time, and he could occasionally eat some nutritious vegetables.

With nutritional supply and the nurturing of spiritual energy, Wang Jixuan's new Dao body had begun to show smooth muscle lines.

Daoist Wang opened the wardrobe beside him.

A black anti-riot tactical helmet with a simple design, a set of pitch-black protective combat clothing, a dozen handguns and submachine guns, and thirty-six concentrated high-explosive grenades the size of dragon eyes were neatly arranged under the dim light of the wardrobe.

He slightly raised the corners of his mouth and quickly changed his equipment.

First, Wang Jixuan took out the stacks of talismans from the inner pocket of his original top and placed them in the back pockets of this special combat suit, sorted by type. The six bone-penetrating nails, made from the outer bones of Blade Beasts and some metal, were inserted into the sleeves of the combat suit.

Now, if he encountered Wen Heisen, Wang Jixuan was eighty-nine percent sure he could pierce the other's head with a single nail.

But alas;

His hunting target tonight was not that Wen Heisen.

He selected a gun, placed the magazine, and took out twelve concentrated high-explosive grenades, placing them in the armed pouch at his waist.

With two 'clicks,' the bullets were successfully loaded, and he placed the gun into the gun holster attached to his belt.

Wang Jixuan took a light breath of the foul air and turned to walk out of this iron-sheet house embedded underground, not forgetting to glance at the extravagant black motorcycle that Zhou Gongzi had sent last time.

He still couldn't skillfully ride this kind of mount.

At the same moment.

Inside the Thirteenth Floor Security Office captain's office.

Zhou Zhengde frowned, pulling open a drawer, putting on his glasses, and turning on a holographic projection screen. He found the search bar, entered 'Eliminate demons and defend the righteous path, settle karma and stabilize the mysterious heart,' and clicked the translate button.

"Cool! So that's what karma means."

"So, after enduring for more than half a month, he's started attacking the Blackfire Gang again?"

Zhou Zhengde shrugged, somewhat unimpressed.

The Purge Force and the gang coalition were both gathering their strength. Taking down the Blackfire Gang only needed to proceed steadily according to the timetable, and they could directly take action in another month.

Now, Mu Liang had also found an underground passage, and there was that suspicious old woman guarding it. Perhaps when they closed the net, they would have some unexpected gains.

This was actually already very good.

Mu Liang's insistence on personally killing a few Black Gang members was indeed a bit…

Small-scale, insignificant, and a waste of risk.

"But his way of handling things is really cool. I like it a lot."

Captain Zhou exclaimed with a laugh.

The young Zhou Yanei didn't know at this moment how many extra hours he would have to work because of this.
