Anime Crossover: Post-Apocalyptic Survival, My Stand is the World

The moment their palms touched, a warm and powerful force surged through her, miraculously restoring a bit of strength to her leaden legs.

With Su Chen's help, she slowly straightened up.

On that pretty face, covered in dust and disheveled, a faint blush, almost imperceptible, quietly rose.

But this slightly warm postwar atmosphere was soon ruthlessly interrupted by a voice full of fanaticism and urgency.

"Please wait!"

It's Alice Nakiri!

The silver-haired genius scientist, like a girl who had spotted a rare collectible figurine, rushed forward without hesitation, spreading her arms to block Su Chen's path!

"What are you doing?" Su Chen frowned slightly.

"Take me with you!" Alice's face had lost its previous pride and composure, replaced by an almost rogue-like expression. "My equipment, my technology, and my genius brain—the best in Totsuki Academy—are all at your disposal!"

She began frantically trying to sell her value to Su Chen.

"If you take me with you, I can help you analyze monsters, improve weapons, and even develop entirely new energy potions! In exchange—"

Her beautiful pupils sparkled with a blazing flame, like the God particle the scientist had seen.

"You must let me study you, study your completely unscientific power."

"..."

The entire laboratory fell into a deathly silence once again.

[Blank] The siblings were completely baffled by Alice's bizarre turn of events, which could be described as "if you can't beat her, pay protection money and then become her apprentice".

Su Chen looked at the silver-haired beauty in front of him, who had been trying to slice him into pieces one second and was now crying and begging to throw herself at him the next, and a look of bewilderment appeared on his face.

He was silent for a moment, then finally smiled.

“Okay,” he said.

"Really? That's wonderful!" Alice's face instantly lit up with a childlike, innocent, and radiant smile!

“However,” Su Chen suddenly changed the subject, “I have one condition.”

"What conditions?"

"It's very simple."

Su Chen's gaze swept over the laboratory, which could be described as a "fortress of cutting-edge technology," and his tone became playful.

“I won’t take your equipment, technology, and your genius brain for nothing.”

He held out a finger.

"From today onwards, you and all your 'research results' belong to me. And I will provide you with absolute safety and protection."

"I understand."

"Very good." Su Chen nodded in satisfaction, like a capitalist who had successfully closed a big deal.

He walked up to the state-of-the-art holographic projection computer, tapped his fingers on the virtual keyboard a few times, seemingly browsing something.

Alice was slightly taken aback by his smooth and effortless operation. How come this guy seemed to be more familiar with her lab's system than she was?

Meanwhile, Alice, having confirmed that she had successfully boarded the ship and saved her life and research opportunity, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As if she had remembered something more important, an anxious look returned to her face, even more earnest than when she was promoting herself earlier.

“Um… Mr. Su Chen, no, boss.” She had clearly already quickly switched into employee mode. “Now that we’re in a cooperative relationship, I… I have a request!”

“Say it…” Su Chen didn’t turn his head and continued operating the computer.

"Please, you must help me find someone!" Alice's voice was filled with a worry and pleading she herself didn't realize. "She's very important to me. When the apocalypse came, we were separated, and I'm worried about her..."

She hasn't finished speaking yet.

Su Chen had stopped what he was doing.

He didn't answer.

He simply swiped his finger across the holographic screen.

moment.

A photo of an ID he had just found in a deeply encrypted archive called "AlicesTreasure" on this computer was projected clearly into the air.

That's a girl.

She had long, dazzling golden hair like the sun and a pair of noble and mysterious purple eyes like violets.

And that queenly arrogance that seemed to be innate, surpassing mortals.

—Erina Nakiri.

Alice's breath hitched for a moment.

She stared in disbelief at that familiar yet distant face.

This man…

He possesses not only godlike power.

It even seems that one can easily see through people's hearts.

"You...how could you..."

"Your 'important person' is her, isn't she?"

Su Chen's voice was calm, yet it carried a profound insight that seemed to know everything.

He turned his head, looked at Alice's eyes filled with shock, and his lips curled up into a seductive smile.

"Then consider it my first perk for you, my new employee."

He reached out and gently tapped Erina's haughty face in mid-air.

"I'll help you find her, but—"

He paused, and his dark eyes made Alice's heart race.

"In return, you must submit completely to me."

Chapter 82 Gourmet Hell

The deal is done.

In a wondrous way, filled with science and metaphysics, a top-notch genius scientist, along with her loyal bodyguard who resembled a humanoid Gundam, and an entire laboratory full of cutting-edge technology equipment, were all "acquired" by Su Chen with a commission to "find her cousin" and a contract to "become my personal chef."

Kasumigaoka Utaha watched in awe, inwardly cursing that this was the real-life version of the most outrageous "domineering CEO" novel she had ever written.

Afterwards, Su Chen and his group did not linger and returned directly to the building.

One hour later.

At the entrance of the building.

Su Chen's Akihabara Exploration Vanguard Camp has ushered in its first personnel rotation.

Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama, the two girls who had followed him from the beginning and had experienced the most battles and frights, and could be called "founding fathers", stayed in the building for the time being.

Their mission was simple yet arduous—to transform this treasure trove of high-tech equipment into their second and more important outpost in the region, with the remote technical assistance of the Blank siblings and the three dragon maids who were diligently researching human recipes.

Su Chen, on the other hand, leads a brand-new, extremely bizarre "elite" team on a new journey to find the "Tongue of God".

The leader of the team was naturally Su Chen. He wore the ruthless boss's smile that said, "I just finished swindling a new employee and immediately arranged a business trip."

To his left, within a meter's radius, was Alice Nakiri, following closely behind.

The silver-haired genius girl was holding a portable analyzer, constantly scanning the faint energy emanating from Su Chen's body. She was muttering professional terms like "stable sample" and "perfect structure" under her breath. Her obsessive look was just like that of a fanatic idol.

Half a step behind Alice, the kitchen tyrant, Kurokiba Ryo, who had reverted to his "emotionless loyal dog" mode, stood like a moving iron tower, vigilantly scanning everything around him.

To Su Chen's right was Kasumigaoka Utaha, a cunning writer with an excited expression that said, "I have new material to write about."

Her sketchbook was never closed; her pen flew across the paper as she frantically recorded the strange interactions between Alice and Su Chen—a “mad scientist” and an “unknown deity”—while occasionally letting out a suspicious “hehehe” laugh.

Finally, there was Kato Megumi, who didn't know why she had come along from beginning to end, but since Su Chenjun told her to, she went along. She remained as indifferent and unremarkable as ever, as if she could blend into the background at any moment and become part of the air.

This group, which could be described as a motley crew of "monsters and demons," marched in a grand procession toward the red dot on the map marked "Totsuki Academy Akihabara Branch," a spot provided by Alice herself.

……

"This is it."

Half an hour later.

Su Chen stopped in his tracks.

He looked at the white building in front of him, which was full of "Baroque" style and was so gorgeous that it was out of place with the surrounding post-apocalyptic ruins.

The feeling was like suddenly seeing an incredibly detailed 3D model amidst a bunch of error messages—it felt completely out of place.

Totsuki Culinary Academy, Akihabara Branch.

"There's something wrong."

In Su Chen's earpiece came Kong Na's solemn voice. He was sharing a first-person perspective through a miniature camera.

"Su Chen, I can't detect any normal energy signals from any monsters."

"But... the life signal detectors show that there are hundreds of extremely chaotic, high-speed moving 'human' signals in that building!"

"Humanity?"

Su Chen narrowed his eyes.

“That’s right!” Kong’s voice became somewhat urgent. “And their emotional fluctuations are very strange! The readings all show the highest levels of ‘hunger’ and ‘anger’! It’s like a pack of wild beasts that are about to go mad from hunger and have lost their minds!”

"hunger?"

As Su Chen pondered the word, an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

He felt it too.

I could feel an invisible, sweet and alluring scent emanating from that white building.

The taste was faint, yet it felt like an invisible hand, constantly scratching every corner of his stomach, causing his body, which had long lost most of its interest in ordinary food due to the [Triple Rebirth], to uncontrollably experience a primal appetite for the first time.

'interesting. '

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

'Hallucination? Or...a psychological attack?'

Things that can affect you like this are rare.

"Kato-san."

He looked again at the only unaffected person beside him, whose face still wore a "nice weather today" expression, like a human invisibility avatar.

"—It's your turn to go on stage."

……

Kato Megumi's infiltration was as smooth as ever.

She boldly pushed open the slightly ajar, ornately carved door of the Far Moon branch, and then strolled inside as if taking a leisurely walk after a meal.

A few minutes later.

Her voice came back through bone conduction headphones.

"Su Chenjun".

"I think I know why this place is so 'clean' now."

Now I know why the people inside are so 'hungry'.

"because…"

Her voice paused, as if she were organizing some kind of language that was extremely challenging to human values.

“There are many chefs here who look like octopuses.”

"They are cooking."

"Use the survivors who broke in as food."

"The 'food' they make has a very fragrant aroma."
