Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

Chu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief - this at least proved that the authority card Anna gave him was useful.

As the elevator door opened again, a control room full of advanced smell appeared in front of Chu Xiao. But almost at the same time as the elevator door opened, the seat in front of the control console slowly turned around, and a charming woman on the seat smiled: "Why did you come so late? I've been waiting for a long time."

Chu Xiao looked at the woman in front of him, without showing any emotion: "Doctor Heidi, please pretend you didn't see me."

"You don't seem surprised at all." Dr. Heidi ignored Chu Xiao's request.

Chu Xiao didn't plan to pay attention to Dr. Heidi. To be honest, he had already prepared for Shi Koti to appear here. If that mixed-blood beauty appeared here to stop them, to be honest, Chu Xiao didn't have much confidence that he could escape from Shi Koti's hands.

Although Chu Xiao has always been wary of Dr. Heidi, this woman is a danger on another level. She cannot stop Chu Xiao.

Besides, Chu Xiao's biggest trouble now is not Dr. Heidi, but that he does not know how to open the hatch through the permission card! This task was originally assigned to Etta, but now Etta has fallen into a coma, so Chu Xiao can only come up and find a solution himself.

Dr. Heidi probably knew Chu Xiao's abilities, so she didn't try to stop him. Instead, she watched with interest as Chu Xiao scratched his head at a bunch of buttons and operating tables.

"Actually, I can help you." Dr. Heidi said behind Chu Xiao, "I know how to open the door. All I need is permission."

"Help me? Why?" Chu Xiao was so anxious that sweat was almost pouring down his forehead. He didn't even turn his head. "Because you are the high-level traitor on the ship?"

"You actually guessed it?" Dr. Heidi was a little surprised. "Did I give myself away somewhere?"

In fact, there was no clue. Chu Xiao could not have guessed it at first. But on the way here, he met Harman, who was in the hands of Dr. Heidi and was making trouble everywhere. Now Heidi appeared in the dock control room without anyone else, so Chu Xiao naturally thought of that possibility.

Moreover, he had previously guessed that in addition to himself, Shikoti had another collaborator with considerable authority on the ship. Now it seems that this collaborator might be Dr. Heidi.

"Of course I have to help you, because I have to run away too," the woman smiled seductively, as if she wanted to stick to Chu Xiao, but the man dodged her. "I have done what I should do, and I have been exposed. If I don't run away, I will die miserably. Otherwise, you can take me with you, I am very good at it..."

The woman deliberately pulled open her collar, revealing her deep cleavage, and made a rather ambiguous and seductive gesture.

Dr. Heidi must cooperate with Chu Xiao because now only Chu Xiao has the authorization card that can open the hatch.

"Okay, the cooperation is established." Chu Xiao agreed on the surface, but he made up his mind in his heart that after leaving here, he would never let this charming and dangerous woman board his ship.

Chapter 91: Gambling with Life

With the help of Dr. Heidi, Chu Xiao finally succeeded in using the permission card to open the hatch. The huge metal door slowly opened, and the cold sea breeze blew into the ship from the outside.

Chu Xiao was excited. The moonlight in the night sky illuminated the water surface and successfully ignited the hope in Chu Xiao's heart.

He immediately left the control room and entered the elevator, followed by Dr. Heidi. Without saying a word, the two of them followed the elevator down to the boat at the dock and jumped onto the speedboat without hesitation.

When Ruan Mengmeng saw Dr. Heidi appear, she gave her a sinister look.

In order not to waste time, Chu Xiao briefly explained to Ruan Mengmeng as he boarded the ship: "This woman is a traitor on the ship, and now she wants to escape with us. It was thanks to her help that we were able to open the cabin door."

After hearing this, Ruan Mengmeng immediately understood, but her expression became even more sinister - after all, with her family background, she had an instinctive aversion to the existence of "ghosts".

In response, Dr. Heidi still showed a coquettish smile, as if she didn't care at all about Ruan Mengmeng's eyes that seemed to want to chop her down at any time.

Chu Xiao drove the speedboat somewhat unfamiliarly. He adjusted the direction and was about to go full throttle towards freedom. However, at this moment, a sudden gunshot rang out.

Chu Xiao's face suddenly darkened, and he heard a man's low voice coming from the upper side of the dock: "Mr. Chu, why are you in such a hurry? Where are you going?"

Ruan Mengmeng immediately showed a threatening look like a wild cat. In just a few seconds, dozens of soldiers with live ammunition rushed out from the stairs, with the muzzles of their guns pointed in the direction of Chu Xiao and his group. Chu Xiao knew that if he dared to force the boat out, these people would choose to shoot without hesitation, and even with his strengthened physique, there would be no suspense.

"Mr. Angelo, I thought you had something important to do right now and didn't have time to deal with someone like me who doesn't matter, so I didn't bother you." Chu Xiao raised his head and looked at the indifferent head of the security department. "I just wanted to take my girls out for a ride, get some fresh air, and avoid danger."

"What a great arrangement." Mr. Anglo said in a half-smile, speaking in strange Chinese. "I envy your good fortune, Mr. Chu. You seem to have the ability to attract beautiful girls. However, if you can attract a poisonous scorpion, it's not really lucky."

The so-called poisonous scorpion undoubtedly refers to Dr. Heidi. This charming and coquettish woman has lost her usual charm at this moment. Instead, her brows are tightly knitted and her face is stern. She did not show much fear. After all, she has seen many storms and waves. In this desperate situation, she still remains calm.

"Angel, you came at the right time." Dr. Heidi looked up and said, "Now that you are done with your work outside, how come you have time to come here and stop me?"

At this moment, Chu Xiao could still hear the increasingly fierce explosions and gunshots from afar. It was obvious that the attack of the World Destroying Sect had not ended, but was becoming more and more fierce. The violent explosions could even reach the dock at the bottom of the stern, and even Chu Xiao, who was on the speedboat, could feel the slight vibration.

However, Angelo, the Minister of Security, seemed to be completely oblivious to the ongoing battle, and his gaze as he looked down was extremely cold.

A thrilling sound of footsteps came from the corridor behind the soldiers. Angelo lowered his head and stood aside. Sir Lobelin's handsome face appeared behind the railing of the dock platform. As the controller of the ship, his eyes did not stay on Dr. Heidi, the "traitor", but fell on Chu Xiao.

"Mr. Chu, are you dissatisfied with my hospitality?" Sir Lobelin's elegant voice full of classical flavor sounded above the dock. His tone was calm and even gentle. "How could you leave so hastily?"

But the sense of oppression is extremely strong.

"How could that be?" Chu Xiao stopped his girls behind him and said with a stiff face, "It's just that we have to say goodbye. Sir, for Anna's sake, can we part ways in peace?"

"It's a pity, but you seem to be very satisfied with the gift I gave you," Sir saw Etta who was unconscious behind Chu Xiao, "I'm glad you like it."

Chu Xiao sighed: "Sir, please tell me clearly, can you let us go? We are just small people, we really don't want to get involved in your cult's affairs."

"Of course not." Sir Lobelin raised his finger, and the soldiers who received the signal immediately took aim. "I said that I would personally preside over the initiation ceremony for you. As a noble, how can I break my promise?"

The air seemed to freeze, and the threat of death brought tremendous pressure. Chu Xiao seemed to have given up, lowering his head and falling into silence, while Ruan Mengmeng, who was hiding behind Chu Xiao, just held the handle of the knife. The girl desperately thought of countermeasures, and her eyes kept looking for blind spots in the surrounding environment to dodge bullets and launch attacks at the same time. However, no matter how she thought about the countermeasures in her heart, the whole scene was still a desperate dead end.

"Sir, I am deeply honored by your appreciation." Chu Xiao looked up at Sir Lobelin on the podium, and then unabashedly took out the pistol he had picked up on the road from his pocket.

"You want to fight us with just a pistol?" Sir Lobelin said, "I don't think you are such a presumptuous person."

"Of course I'm not that naive." Chu Xiao smiled and pointed the muzzle of the pistol at his head, "This is how I plan to use it."

"Brother Xiao!" Ruan Mengmeng screamed, but was pressed down by Chu Xiao.

Sir Lobelin looked down at Chu Xiao indifferently: "What do you mean?"

"It's just a small gamble, but my life is very important to you." Chu Xiao raised his head and faced Sir Lobelin on the podium with a bright and calm smile.

His judgment was not completely without basis. The cult showed unusual attention to his "warrior" physique, and even ignored the obvious concealment of Chu Xiao. According to the information revealed by Shi Koti, Sir Lobelin attached great importance to his rituals, and they were related to that [God].

In addition, based on Chu Xiao's current understanding of Sir Lobelin, given his style, he would not say any nonsense at all. He should have even shot him to death the moment Chu Xiao took out his pistol for "showing intention to resist", but he did not do so.

Therefore, Chu Xiao decided to gamble with his life!

Anyway, it’s death!

What followed was a heart-wrenching silence. The explosions and gunshots in the distance had no effect on the confrontation taking place here. Chu Xiao's hand holding the gun was sweating, and the girl behind him grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly.

Finally, Jazz's magnetic voice came from the podium: "What do you want?"

Chu Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that he had made the right bet.

"I can stay, but let my girls go." Chu Xiao shouted, "They should be of no use to you!"

The Jazz replied without hesitation: "Yes."

Ruan Mengmeng was unwilling to do so. She shouted, "No! I will stay with you!"

"Mengmeng!" This was the first time Chu Xiao spoke to Ruan Mengmeng so loudly after they met. "Be obedient!"

The girl looked at her stubbornly, biting her lips tightly, her eyes red.

Chu Xiao sighed, he touched the girl's cheek, and felt a headache coming on. He sighed and gently advised: "Trust me a little, I won't die that easily."

"But!"

"Okay, I'll listen to your brother Xiao this time. Besides, Etta needs someone to take care of her now." Chu Xiao kissed the girl's lips gently, and then whispered in Ruan Mengmeng's ear, "After you get out, find a way to reunite with Xiaoyan and the others as soon as possible. Don't worry about me, I will find a chance to run away."

Ruan Mengmeng took a deep breath, and suddenly hit Chu Xiao's lips hard again. It was a kiss as hard as a bite, as if to vent her emotions, and she even bit Chu Xiao's lips until they bled.

"Okay..." The girl's lips were stained with blood. She looked fiercely at the knight on the podium and agreed.

Chapter 92: Prisoners

"What an enviable relationship." Sir Lobelin's voice was full of emotion, and then he changed the subject, "But I'm curious, Heidi, when did you become his woman?"

Dr. Heidi was thinking about how to get out of this situation. She had no bargaining chips in her hand. After the identity of the traitor was exposed, if she fell into the hands of the Jazz, she would be very lucky to die simply. Dr. Heidi's eyes spun rapidly. The only trump card she had now was Harman, whom she transformed into a "berserker". But now that guy had been stimulated by something and had completely lost control. No one knew where he had run to.

"Sir, you know me well. How could I resist taking action when I met such a reliable man?" Dr. Heidi still smiled, but finally chose to stand out from behind Chu Xiao and said casually, "Besides, there is such a beautiful girl."

Chu Xiao turned his head and glanced at the woman. Chu Xiao didn't have any feelings about Dr. Heidi. Instead of having a favorable impression of her, he was more suspicious and wary.

Dr. Heidi gave Chu Xiao a pleading look, but Chu Xiao knew that there was more of a show in this pleading.

Sir Lobelin didn't say much. It was obvious that the Sir didn't care about Dr. Heidi's life. This woman's life depended on Chu Xiao's thoughts at this moment.

Chu Xiao thought for a moment and suddenly attacked. He was so fast that Dr. Heidi barely had time to react before he was knocked unconscious and collapsed on the boat.

"Sir, you don't mind my girl taking an extra prisoner with her, do you?"

Sir naturally understood Chu Xiao's intention. He smiled softly and said to Chu Xiao, "Kindness is a noble quality. Now that she has fallen into your hands, I will naturally leave her to you to deal with. However, please be quick, I don't have much patience."

After saying this, Sir Lobelin turned around and, accompanied by some soldiers, handed the scene over to Angelo to deal with.

"Thank you very much." Chu Xiao turned around and whispered to Ruan Mengmeng, "Find a rope to tie up this woman and gag her. After you meet up with them, hand this woman over to Su Xin and Xiao Yan. As for how to deal with her, let them decide."

Chu Xiao glanced at the unconscious Dr. Heidi. He decided to save Dr. Heidi not out of "kindness" as Sir Lobelin said - well, maybe a little.

Judging from the current situation, this group of people is already too deeply involved with the cult, but their understanding of this huge organization is still superficial. Dr. Heidi should be a good source of intelligence.

Chu Xiao looked down at Dr. Heidi and muttered in his heart: I wonder if this "torturer" can withstand the torture of his own sister.

Ruan Mengmeng nodded vigorously, and while using the previously cut cable to firmly control the unconscious Heidi, she said, "Brother Xiao, there is actually no need to be so careful. I can beat ten women like this with one hand!"

"It's better to be safe than sorry. This woman is a bit cunning. I'm worried that she might do something weird during the journey. It's safer to take insurance." Chu Xiao touched Ruan Mengmeng's head. "After you leave, drive towards the island. Su Xin and the others must be waiting for us."

"Understood!" Ruan Mengmeng prepared herself, "I will definitely come back to save you."

Chu Xiao touched the girl's head and finally said, "Be careful, don't be stubborn."

"You too."

Chu Xiao looked up at the soldiers armed with live ammunition on the platform, then walked down from the speedboat and waved to Ruan Mengmeng in a relaxed manner.

The girl pursed her lips, took the unconscious Etta and Heidi, who was also unconscious but tied up, adjusted the direction, and drove the speedboat away from the Nibelungen's dock.

Chu Xiao didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the speedboat completely disappeared from his sight. Although he didn't think that a proud man like Jazz would go back on his word, he could only feel relieved when he saw them escape successfully.

Two soldiers came down the stairs, and Chu Xiao cooperated and took the initiative to hand over the pistol to them. The soldiers' actions were not rough, and could even be called polite. Although he was handcuffed to restrict his freedom, Chu Xiao's imagined escort like a prisoner did not happen. The two soldiers brought him to Mr. Angelo.

The stern-looking white man did not show the same enthusiasm as the last time they met. He glanced at Chu Xiao coldly and said only one sentence: "Take him over."

Chu Xiao stared at the surroundings and seriously considered whether he could escape from this group of people by turning over the deep reinforcement trump card at this moment. His choice to stay did not mean giving up resistance. However, although Anglo's attitude was not rude, his defense was very thorough. Not only did he search all the weapons on him, but he was also surrounded by guards, with guns pointed directly at him, ready to shoot at any time.

"Although it is a non-lethal weapon, I must remind you," Angelo said, "Even with your physique, it would not feel good if you were hit by it."

Chu Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "No, I'm afraid of pain."

The group walked through a long passage, which was an unfamiliar corridor. Chu Xiao suspected that it was the internal passage of the cult. Unlike the luxurious decorations elsewhere, this passage seemed extremely deserted and full of the cold and hard feeling of metal. The location here should have reached a considerable depth in the Nibelungen, and the gunshots and explosions outside had been completely isolated.

"Are you just going to ignore the fighting outside?" Chu Xiao couldn't help but ask.

The attack by the Destroyer Faction was by no means a game. From the noises heard, this battle was probably quite intense and could almost be called a war launched in this maritime city-state.

"They are just a bunch of crazy clowns. They don't even know what they are going to face." Angelo stopped answering halfway through his words and just gave Chu Xiao a meaningful smile.

Chu Xiao rolled his eyes: "I hate you riddlers the most. You only tell half the story."

At the end of this metallic road, Chu Xiao came to a rather large metallic space. Just like the feeling given by the previous passage, the space deep inside the Nibelungen was full of metallic sci-fi feeling. Huge machinery spanned the entire dome, and the glass walls were divided into many functional areas, with various machines that Chu Xiao could not name and had only seen in sci-fi movies.

However, unlike the metallic environment, this vast space seemed very lively, with researchers busy walking in front of them. These people seemed to have long been accustomed to armed personnel with live ammunition, and even chose to ignore Anglo who was escorting Chu Xiao.

As they continued to go deeper, they walked into a glass corridor. Through the glass, Chu Xiao saw hundreds of glass culture tanks arranged in the huge space below the corridor. He had seen this kind of thing before, but unlike last time, the things cultivated in these glass tanks were not deformed monsters, but real humans.

Chu Xiao finally knew where he was being taken.

——This is the artificial human factory located at the bottom of the ship that Shikoti mentioned!

The goal of the cooperation proposed by Shikoti and Chu Xiao is hidden deep in this factory!

Chapter 93: Convergence

Ruan Mengmeng drove the speedboat and rushed out of the Nibelungen in a hurry with the two unconscious women. Her driving skills were not very proficient, but she didn't care about much at this time.

She was indeed not embarrassed, and Chu Xiao's promise, which he had won with his life, was useful. However, this success made Ruan Mengmeng even more upset, because the less these people cared about the three of them, the more it showed how important that damn ceremony was. At this point, Ruan Mengmeng, who had seen the [God], would not believe that it was just a simple "initiation ceremony".

After rushing out of the dock, the hatch to the outside slowly closed. The girl looked back slightly and saw that the Nibelungen was "very lively" at this time. The original gorgeous lights were replaced by burning flames, and the huge hull was constantly lit up with explosions. The flames were so fierce that they almost illuminated half of the sea.

Ruan Mengmeng even felt that there were fragments of explosions falling around her from time to time, and if she was not careful, she might be affected. There were already many corpses floating on the sea, probably from the boat. Many of them had turned into zombies, making strange roars in the sea, and even trying to pounce on the speedboat driven by Ruan Mengmeng.

The girl ignored the zombies. The soldiers on the boat seemed to notice Ruan Mengmeng, who was driving the speedboat to escape. They didn't know which side they were from, but they fired directly at the sea. The bullets sprayed a series of water on the sea. Ruan Mengmeng didn't dare to hesitate. With the help of the firelight, she found a direction and quickly drove away from this troubled place.
