Becoming Stronger After Death: I Keep Seeking Death in the World of the Universe.

Chapter 448 The Cockroach Man Who Piloted the Victory Flying Swallow No. 2

Inside a giant nuclear crater.

Visible to the naked eye, green fluorescence floats and flickers.

The soil began to move, causing the gravel to tumble and roll.

Although subtle, it can be noticed if you observe carefully.

The crater that was just blasted out is slowly being filled in.

It slowly recreates the appearance before the bombing.

To sum it up in one sentence.

This is time reversal.

At the current rate of nuclear crater backfilling, it would probably only take less than a day for the city to return to its former state of towering skyscrapers.

"So you mean this land is trapped in the period 214 years ago, during the nuclear bombing? It was bombed every other day for over two hundred years?!"

Xu Wang and his buddy in protective suits squatted on the edge of the crater, looking at the endless nuclear crater in front of them, which was emitting specks of green light, and sighed.

The guy in the protective suit couldn't run away, and he couldn't fight back.

At least Xu Wang seemed quite friendly, so I squatted down next to the nuclear crater with him and started chatting.

"That's not true."

At this point, the guy in the protective suit looked a little embarrassed.

Then he said, "Actually, a month ago, this was just an ordinary nuclear bomb crater."

He scratched his face through his protective mask and said, "This place is the largest gathering place for radiation-infected corpses and people in the vicinity because of the excessive concentration of nuclear radiation."

There's also Vault 87 inside, providing them with a decent living environment.

Xu Wang was puzzled after hearing this, and immediately raised his hand to ask, "Did those radiated corpses take down the shelter?"

The guy in the protective suit knew what Xu Wang was thinking just by looking at him dressed as a resident of the shelter.

Well known.

The shelter was a product of pre-war technology.

Once the door is closed, it will remain closed as long as the people inside don't open it.

There's no way for outsiders to break in.

Even the direct impact of a nuclear bomb from two hundred years ago, which Xu Wang and the others had just witnessed, could not have breached the shelter's doors.

The guy in the protective suit immediately explained, "It wasn't shot down by the zombies. It happened two hundred years ago. They never even closed the door."

At the moment the nuclear bomb exploded, they were still keeping the door open, waiting for the local bigwigs who were dawdling around.

Then they all died.

"understood."

Hearing what the guy in the protective suit said, Xu Wang understood.

It's the same as the shelter number 92 that his family was tricked into opening.

No matter how strong the protective features of the shelter are.

Whether humans open the door themselves or leave it open, it makes no difference.

So Xu Wang raised his hand, signaling his buddy to continue.

The guy in the protective suit hesitated for a moment before continuing, "A month ago, we braved the strong radiation and finally cleared the ruins of the shelter exit."

Then I found a briefcase inside, with a small black box embedded in it. The briefcase tag said it contained the Seed of Life.

Upon hearing this, Xu Wang raised an eyebrow.

So it was you who stole my life seed technology.

But he wasn't in a hurry.

First, the personal terminal map showed that the seed of life was just 100 kilometers away.

Secondly, any knowledgeable wastelander knows how valuable the black box is.

Vault 92 was targeted and tricked into opening its doors because it had a black box.

If someone truly possessed the black box, they certainly wouldn't have spoken of it so readily as the guy in the protective suit.

It's estimated that this bizarre scene is about to be nuclear-bombed every few days.

That's what made it.

Sure enough, the guy in the protective suit continued, "According to the description, this is a cutting-edge technology that can change the surrounding terrain by up to 100 square kilometers."

It can arbitrarily select any historical point in time on this land and then project everything from that time period onto the current time period.

I was thinking, wasn't the pre-war period a perfect time for the Federation?

Everyone wants to rebuild the wasteland and restore the glory of the Federation.

Why not just pull the pre-war Federation back from the river of time?

So I started it right there, and you saw the result.

I chose the wrong time; at that time, the glory of the pre-war Human Federation was indeed before us.

I saw it through the surveillance cameras inside the shelter.

214 years ago, skyscrapers stood tall, and the roads were full of pedestrians and vehicles.

The supermarket shelves are filled with a wide variety of goods.

But less than 12 minutes later, the nuclear explosion occurred.

"It was because I was hiding in the innermost part of the vault, researching the black box, and incidentally avoiding the vault's security from 214 years ago, that I was lucky enough to escape the bombing."

After hearing what the guy in the protective suit said, Xu Wang immediately understood why he was embarrassed.

So he was the culprit behind all of this!

Suddenly remembering something, Xu Wang looked at the other person and asked, "Were all the people who dug the shelter with you killed in the explosion?"

"hey-hey……"

The guy in the protective suit smiled sheepishly.

Xu Wang then asked, "The crater after the nuclear explosion was so huge, how did you escape before the next nuclear explosion?"

The guy in the protective suit explained, "There's a small rocket inside the shelter, and I used it to get out."

"You escaped, why didn't you take the [Seed of Life] with you?"

Xu Wang finally asked a question that puzzled him greatly.

This completely stunned the guy in the protective suit.

He just squatted there blankly, his mind completely blank.

At that moment, Xu Wang almost thought he was there to take a dump.

Xu Wang realized that this person was also simple-minded.

So Xu Wang stood up and extended his hand to him: "Let me introduce myself. I am Xu Wang, and I came here specifically for the Seed of Life."

The guy in the protective suit paused for a moment, then stood up and shook hands with Xu Wang: "Hello, I'm Fox."

Xu Wang nodded and replied to the random message: "Fox, I know, you've been acquired by Disney."

"what?"

Fox was a little confused.

Xu Wang, ever the familiar type, put his arm around the other person's shoulder: "Come on, come with me to get the life seed you lost."

Upon hearing this, Fox immediately realized what was happening and desperately tried to back away, his emotions running high: "No, the radiation level inside is too high. If we go any deeper, I will continue to mutate and become a radiation zombie."

Moreover, given the distance, it would be impossible to obtain the black box in a single day.

Even if I get it, I won't have time to come out.

We'll be killed by a nuclear explosion every day!

"High radiation concentration, that's a good thing, I love it. You're wearing a protective suit, what are you afraid of?"

Xu Wang was about to grab Fox when he said that.

Fox was so frightened he almost knelt down before Xu Wang, and quickly said, "I'm sorry, big brother! I shouldn't have tried to take the black box from you!"

"You can take my life if you want, but can't you let me go home and say goodbye to my friends first?"

"You still have friends? Didn't you blow them all up?"

Xu Wang was puzzled.

Fox said smugly, "They're not all dead yet. We have a base nearby with dozens of people still there."

After saying that, Fox seemed to realize what had happened and immediately clutched his head, saying, "Oh no!"

Xu Wang's interest was piqued upon seeing this.

Since this nuclear crater needs time to recover, I might as well go check on Fox's place first.

"Elbow, take me to your house for a look." Xu Wang pulled up Fox, whose legs were weak and who was almost kneeling on the ground.

"You're not going to go to my house and start a massacre, are you?"

Fox was pulled up, his legs still weak, and he gripped Xu Wang's arm tightly with both hands, his voice trembling.

Xu Wang rolled his eyes: "What are you talking about? Do I look like such a cruel and murderous person?"
Unless your family consists of raiders, and are your family raiders?

Fox shook his head, but then tentatively asked, "What do you think of the 'Radiant Corpse People'?"

"I don't really look at them. Just like humans, there are good and bad ones. I also have friends who are irradiated corpses."

After Xu Wang finished answering, he looked at Fox, whose entire body was encased in a protective suit, and said sarcastically, "I get it. You and your friends are all zombies, right?"

Fox immediately fell silent.

It seems that Xu Wang did indeed guess correctly.

Seeing Fox's expression, Xu Wang patted him on the shoulder and pulled out a photo from his personal terminal to show him.

It was a shirtless selfie of a zombie in a bathroom.

Fox asked in confusion, "Who is this?"

Xu Wang grinned: "This is me."

Fox's eyes widened immediately: "Impossible! This isn't you!"

Xu Wang said earnestly, "This really is me. I was also a corpse person back then, and I loved eating avocados."

Seeing how serious Xu Wang was.

Fox compared Xu Wang with the photo again and found that his eyebrows and eyes were indeed exactly the same.

This is indeed one person!

Fox was even more shocked!

Even through that protective mask, Xu Wang could see his disbelief.

"How did you do that? I've never heard of anyone turning into a zombie and then turning back. Our genes have been completely mutated! No treatment is effective against us."

Fox became instantly excited.

Xu Wang waved his hand: "I'm different. I'm quite handsome. It would be a shame if I became a zombie."

Looking at Xu Wang's face, Fox fell silent again.

Xu Wang ignored all of that and put his arm around Fox's shoulder again: "Hey! You're a Corpse Man, and so am I."

We're all buddies, so you don't need to worry about me. Take me to your place!

That being said, Fox was still reluctant to bring a dangerous person like Xu Wang home.

So he looked around and then at the dog that was spinning around and biting its own tail: "What about this one?"

Xu Wang didn't even blink: "It's a Corpse Dog."

Fox turned to look at the figure in the driver's cab of the Traveler train.

Xu Wang immediately summoned the Terminator, still without blinking: "It's a mechanical zombie, and my whole family are zombies."

Fox: "..."

Xu Wangdu said so.

What else can Fox do?
Moreover, he was powerless to resist Xu Wang, and could only nod helplessly in the end: "Alright, I can take you home, and I can also take you to find the seed of life."

But could you do me a favor first?

Xu Wang smiled and asked, "What are your requirements?"

Fox shook his head: "No, it's a request."

Xu Wang nodded and said, "Alright, go ahead."

Fox raised his left wrist, shared the nearby map with Xu Wang, and then said, "There's an aviation center nearby that's been taken over by a bunch of cockroaches. I need some things from inside."

Xu Wang opened the map and glanced at it, finding that it wasn't far and was indeed nearby, so he didn't refuse: "Okay, it's just a bunch of cockroach people. I've dealt with them before, it's very simple."

Upon hearing this, Fox retorted, "You'd better be careful. These cockroach-men seem to have evolved; they're much smarter than ordinary cockroach-men."

And there's also a super mutant behemoth inside.

Xu Wang didn't care about this at all. No matter how smart someone was, could they be as smart as him with his amazing wisdom?

Even if someone is strong, can they be as powerful as him with 169 points of strength?
Xu Wang waved his hand confidently: "Don't worry, my friend, I'm stronger than you think."

Those cockroach people can't exactly fly planes to attack me, can they? Hahaha!

Hearing Xu Wang say this.

Fox laughed along, "Yeah, hahaha! That's impossible."

After half an hour.

The Traveller train stopped at the station next to the aviation center.

Xu Wang and Fox got out of the car and immediately saw the huge private aviation center across the street.

There was also a Victory Flying Swallow 2 gliding down.

Xu Wang: "..."

Fox: "..."

Tie Zhu looked up excitedly, wagging its tail and barking, "Woof woof woof!"

Fox was startled and quickly crouched down to cover Tie Zhu's mouth, afraid that the dog would disturb the cockroach people.

Xu Wang's gaze followed the fighter jet as it slowly landed, and he was completely numb.

It wasn't until he saw four cockroach-like beings crawl out that he exclaimed in amazement, "This is truly a wasteland; it's one thing for cockroaches to be able to fly airplanes."

"And they're even using the Flying Swallow II!"

This thing could be the vehicle used by the GUTS team in "Ultraman Tiga".

Xu Wang has loved watching Ultraman since he was a child, so there's absolutely no way he could mistake it.

The wasteland really has all sorts of things!
It truly lives up to its reputation as a junkyard in the multiverse.

Without me keeping things under control, things are bound to explode sooner or later.

As Xu Wang thought this, he turned to look at Fox beside him.

Don’t say anything else.

He now wants to know if Fox knew there was a deadly weapon here and deliberately tricked him into coming.

They wanted to use someone else to do their dirty work.

Judging from Fox's terrified expression, it didn't seem fake.

Fox noticed Xu Wang's gaze and immediately waved his hands in fright: "I'm not lying to you, I really didn't know these cockroaches could fly planes."

When I was here last time, I did see a plane, but it was stuck inside the launch control center building.

As he spoke, Fox looked around and then pointed to a building in the distance.

Xu Wang glanced in the direction Fox was pointing.

It was discovered that a yellow fighter jet had indeed crashed into the building, with only the tail section of the plane hanging in mid-air outside.

Xu Wang recognized the plane; it was the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1.

Both of the Victory Team's fighter jets are here.

Xu Wangdu even suspected that the cockroaches' nest might be called the Victory Team.

This is an aviation center, so is there still an Atlas ship docked here?
Xu Wang immediately became excited!

This is a spaceship, and a large one at that, belonging to the Victory Team.

If he really had one, he would definitely get it.

Even if things don't go well, Xu Wang will definitely not let those two Victory Flying Swallow ships go.

It has high practical value and high collectible value!

"sorry."

While Xu Wang was still excitedly lost in thought, Fox next to him sincerely apologized, "These wretched cockroaches are more troublesome than I imagined."

I'm so sorry to have made you come all this way. I'll figure out a solution myself from now on.

If you really want to visit my house, I can take you there right now.

Upon hearing Fox's words, Xu Wang patted his chest with great satisfaction: "Look at what you're saying, we're brothers."

When you're out in the game, loyalty is everything!

Although it's a bit more difficult than I imagined, I'll do my best to get it done for you!

"Leave it all to me!"
