Collapse, harem after the end of the world

We're here." Adam stood up and picked up his luggage.

Haitu and Huaze also stood up and prepared to follow Adam to their destination.

"Captain, should we find the staff first?" Haitu looked at Adam with some concern.

"That's not necessary. They should be waiting for us." Adam replied confidently.

As they got off the train, a chill hit them in the face and a desolate scene immediately appeared before them.

"Is there really anyone here? We must have come to the wrong place." Haitu said at this time.

"It doesn't matter. Let's find Walter Joyce as soon as possible." Adam said, and then he took Haitu and Hua Ze and headed towards their destination, the Holy Ark.

They walked along a gravel path, with barren land and lonely ruins on either side. There was no one around except Adam's companions.

In this ruin, it seems as if no human beings have lived there anymore. Everything has become so desolate and lonely.

What is worrying is that the previously agreed-upon pick-up personnel are nowhere to be seen.

"Sure enough, no one has been here for a long time?" Haitu said as he looked around.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that someone was watching them.

How could a research institute be established in such a desolate place?

Adam was paying attention to his surroundings at this time. Unlike the Holy Ark in his memory, this place seemed obviously more desolate.

It is not difficult to see that this place seems to have experienced a tragic disaster.

Hua Ze and Adam frowned at Hare Rabbit's words. They looked around, seeing only gravel paths and desolate ruins, but they felt as if something was watching them. This feeling gave them a chill.

"The situation here is indeed worse than I expected." Adam sighed, his tone a little heavy.

"Let's find Walter Joyce as soon as possible." Hua Ze reminded, feeling a little uneasy.

They walked along the path for a while and finally arrived at the gate of the Holy Ark Institute.

But the current situation made everyone even more confused.

Chapter 599: Attack and Tesla

As Adam and the others slowly drove into the laboratory base, they were met with a scene of devastation that drew a strange look from everyone. Broken bricks and tiles littered the ground, and vines clung to the dilapidated walls, making it look as if it had been weathered by a storm. The laboratory doors were tightly closed, clearly untouched for a long time.

Scared Rabbit frowned and said to everyone in confusion, "Is this... is this our destination? This is really hard to believe. How could it be an experimental base? It looks so shabby and even the gate is closed."

Adam couldn't help but wonder. The intelligence they'd gathered clearly showed that Lab 42 was one of the most important bases in the country, so how could it be in such a dilapidated state? Could something have happened?

Everyone stepped onto the moss-covered ground. A gentle breeze blew, carrying a hint of decay, as if telling of the former glory of this abandoned laboratory.

Adam looked around. The surrounding buildings were severely damaged, and the graffiti on the walls was mottled, as if they had been tortured by time and had lost everything. He couldn't help but clench his fists, and an indescribable sadness surged in his heart.

Suddenly, a chilly wind blew, rustling the leaves, as if foreshadowing something ominous. Adam frowned and began to look around, trying to find the source of this change.

His gaze finally stopped at the laboratory door. The huge steel door was tightly closed, emitting an oppressive atmosphere.

"Something must have happened here." Adam said in a low voice.

"Mr. Adam, look, I seem to have found something." Just as Adam was thinking, Rita spoke to Adam.

At this moment, at Rita's feet, a robot that looked damaged was lying there quietly.

"What is this?" Adam asked in a puzzled tone.

"Obviously, this is the guard robot developed by Research Institute No. 42. But apparently, it has been destroyed."

Adam frowned as he stared at the damaged robot Rita had found. He crouched down and examined the remains of the robot. The shattered metal shell bore obvious tear marks, as if it had been destroyed by a powerful force.

"This is definitely not ordinary destruction." Adam muttered to himself, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.

Rita looked at Adam, her eyes full of confusion. "Mr. Adam, who do you think did this?"

Adam stood up, his face solemn. "This lab has been developing advanced technology and has many confidential projects. If someone knew the secrets here, they might come to sabotage it."

Just as Adam was speculating, a strange scene began to unfold around them. Strange monsters suddenly appeared out of nowhere around them, roaring at them.

"Are these guys... Quantum Disintegration Beasts? How did they appear in this place?" Hare Rabbit looked at the monsters and immediately said to his companions. He gripped his weapon tightly, ready to deal with the sudden crisis.

Adam hadn't expected to encounter the Quantum Sea's unique Honkai Beasts here. Although he didn't know why they were there, he quickly prepared for battle. Adam nimbly dodged the monsters' attacks while trying to find a chance to strike back.

Rita was no match for the monster, nimbly dodging its sharp claws and swiftly striking back. The weapon in her hand sliced through the air, making sharp sounds, and each strike accurately hit the monster's vital points.

Hua Ze appeared on the battlefield with a domineering aura. He stomped the ground, shaking it to pieces. A powerful energy emanated from him, forming a massive wave of air that repelled the monsters.

However, the number of monsters seems endless, constantly emerging from the void. Adam and his team know that they must find a solution to the problem, otherwise they will be overwhelmed by these monsters.

Adam looked around frantically, trying to find a way out. As he searched, he noticed a broken wall nearby. This wall looked even more fragile, and perhaps it could be a way for them to escape.

Adam quickly signaled to his team members and led them towards the broken wall. They charged with all their might, destroying the wall while also fending off the monster's attack.

Looking at the Honkai beast still chasing them from behind, the long sword in Adam's hand quickly ignited a ball of fire.

"Get out of the way!" Adam shouted to his companions, and then the sword in his hand released a large amount of flames, destroying all the Honkai beasts behind him in one fell swoop.

"It seems that we are safe for the time being?" Haitu asked as he looked at the Honkai Beast that was no longer chasing him.

"That should be the case, but where are we now?" Adam discovered that after crashing into the wall, they seemed to have come to another alley.

Adam and his team paused, panting, and looked around the alley. It was completely different from the lab they had been in before, filled with an air of abandon and desolation. Moss grew on the walls, dilapidated buildings collapsed to the ground, and the streets were littered with garbage and waste.

"What is this place?" Rita frowned as she looked around at the unfamiliar environment.

"It seems we have been taken to the ruins of a city." Adam frowned as he thought about what might happen.

Hua Ze looked around, a solemn expression in his eyes. "This place looks like it was destroyed by war, but why haven't I heard of such an incident?"

"Hey, who are you? Why are you here?" At this moment, a sudden voice appeared in the ears of Adam and others.

When Adam looked back, he found a proud red-haired girl looking at them warily.

"Are you Dr. Tesla?" Adam looked at the other person in confusion. He didn't expect that he could see Tesla in this world.

Dr. Tesla glanced at Adam and his team indifferently, and replied without question: "Yes, I am Dr. Tesla. How did you get in? This is a restricted area. No one can enter."

Tesla seemed more alert at this time, and special weapons appeared around him. It seemed that if Adam and others did not give an explanation, they would launch an attack.

"Wait!" Adam shouted to Tesla at this time and took out his invitation letter.

"We are invited detectives. We have no ill intentions."

Tesla looked at the invitation letter in Adam's hand with confusion. After checking it carefully, he temporarily let down his guard.

Chapter 600: Ghosts Wandering in the City

After Adam and others explained for a long time, Tesla finally believed that they were not dangerous people, but invited detectives.

"It's amazing that you can come to this place without being killed." Dr. Tesla said this at this time, as if it was incredible that Adam and others could come here.

"Dr. Tesla, what exactly happened here? How did it become like this?" Hua asked Tesla at this time.

"Well, it all started with an accident. In fact, even I don't know the whole story." Dr. Tesla frowned slightly, a feeling of helplessness welling up in her heart. She paused, then continued, "A few months ago, a critical technological experiment was conducted in the laboratory, but an unexpected event caused a powerful energy wave to spread. This energy wave not only destroyed the laboratory, but also affected the entire city. Many people lost their lives, and the city was completely destroyed and reduced to ruins. After I escaped with other survivors, we organized a resistance organization here to try to find a solution and save the city. However, we have never found a complete solution."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other in surprise. They didn't expect such a thing to happen here.

But what Adam was curious about was what kind of experiment could destroy a city?

However, just when Adam was about to ask more questions, strange noises began to appear in the city.

This voice was as erratic as a ghost, causing Dr. Tesla's expression to change drastically.

"Oh no! That guy is coming!" Dr. Tesla shouted at this time.

"That guy?" Adam looked at Tesla in confusion. Then, from the end of the alley, a monster like a black shadow rushed towards them.

After hearing Dr. Tesla's warning, everyone became alert and held their weapons tightly, ready to face the impending threat.

The shadowy monster moved at an incredible speed, like a flash of lightning, darting through the ruins, emitting waves of terrifying howling sounds. It was tall and agile, its black skin gleaming with a chilling light, as if formed from a cloud of dark smoke.

Adam and the others stared at the monster nervously, sensing the evil aura emanating from it. Dr. Tesla frowned, a determined glint in her eyes. She didn't look afraid, but rather like a warrior who had remained unyielding after a fierce battle.

The shadowy monster rapidly approached, almost instantly reaching Adam and his companions. It roared deafeningly, displaying astonishing power. Adam and his team quickly deployed their defenses, preparing to confront this formidable foe.

Adam swung his sword with all his might, the blade slicing through the air with a sharp, piercing sound. His swordsmanship was as fluid as flowing water, each strike precisely targeting the shadow monster's vital points. However, the shadow monster didn't seem to be seriously hurt. It quickly dodged Adam's attack and slammed down hard with its massive claws.

Adam barely dodged the blow, but was still thrown back by the immense force, landing heavily on the ground. His body trembled violently, and blood gushed from the corner of his mouth. However, Adam didn't give up. He gritted his teeth, supported himself with his hands, and prepared to fight the monster again.

Suddenly, Rita raised her sickle, the blade flashing with blinding lightning. She swung it, slashing at the monster's body, leaving deep wounds. However, to everyone's astonishment, the monster's wounds healed completely in the blink of an eye.

"What on earth is going on?" Everyone looked at the monster, which had recovered, in confusion, feeling a little unbelievable. Dr. Tesla frowned, her mind working rapidly, trying to find an explanation.

At this moment, Adam suddenly felt a strong energy wave emanating from the monster. He could feel the evil and power of this energy, as if it came from the dark power of the abyss.

The monster let out a deep roar, and the entire ruins trembled. Its body began to swell, and the black lines on its skin became increasingly obvious. Adam watched helplessly as the monster grew larger and larger, its body seemingly about to burst.

Then, in a blinding flash, the monster suddenly vanished.

Everyone was stunned, they couldn't believe what they saw. That powerful monster had disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"How is that possible? Where did it go?" Hua asked in surprise.

"Sure enough, it disappeared again?" Dr. Tesla seemed to have anticipated this situation and said without surprise. Her voice revealed a hint of helplessness and fatigue.

Adam stared at Dr. Tesla, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment. He couldn't comprehend what was happening before his eyes. What exactly was that mysterious monster? Why was it so powerful, and why did it suddenly disappear?

"Doctor, what exactly was that monster?" Adam asked Dr. Tesla. His voice revealed a hint of anxiety and a desire to know the truth.

Dr. Tesla sighed deeply, gazing at the ruins in the distance, a complex emotion flickering in her eyes. "That guy, the one we call the Ghost, is the one who destroyed this city." Her voice tinged with pain and helplessness.

"Ghost?" Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The monster just now seemed to be worthy of the title. However, could such a monster destroy an entire city?

Dr. Tesla's voice broke the silence. She said, "Let's discuss the details in the laboratory. The monster won't be back anytime soon."

Everyone had to put their doubts aside for the time being, because now they needed a safe place to recover their strength and concentrate their thoughts. They followed Dr. Tesla step by step back to the door of Laboratory No. 42.

The door of the laboratory opened and everyone entered the familiar environment. They felt a sense of peace and security.

At this moment, everyone saw several familiar figures in the laboratory.

"Come in, it's relatively safe here." Dr. Tesla greeted everyone at this time.

At this time, Adam's attention was focused on the other people in the laboratory.

Everyone here seems to be a familiar figure.

Chapter 601: Familiar yet unfamiliar people

Adam stood silently at one side of the laboratory, looking at these familiar yet unfamiliar people who appeared before him.

"Dr. Tesla, you're back. You're back much later than scheduled." At this time, Dr. Ein walked up to Tesla and said with a smile.

"The situation is a bit unexpected. In short, that person has become more difficult to deal with now." Dr. Tesla answered Dr. Ein in a flat tone.

"I understand." Dr. Ein nodded, then glanced at Adam and others.

"So, who are these people?" Dr. Ein suddenly asked.

"We were invited by Mr. Walter. I wonder where he is now?" Adam looked around but did not see any sign of Walter.

"Unfortunately, he has passed away." Dr. Ein replied calmly.

"What?" Adam stared at Dr. Ein in surprise.

"Yes, last week, his body was found in his office. The cause of death remains unknown."

"What?!" Adam looked at Dr. Ein in surprise. He didn't expect Walter to be dead.

Now that Walter, the leader of this laboratory and their client, is dead, what should be done now?

"Can you show us your invitation?" Dr. Ein suddenly said to Adam.

"Well, here you go." Upon hearing this, Adam handed the invitation letter in his hand to Dr. Ein.

"Sure enough, this invitation is the one Walter wrote before his death." After careful identification, Dr. Ein replied.

She originally thought that these invitations had not been sent out yet, but she didn't expect that they had already reached other people's hands.

"It looks like there are new people here. This place is really getting more and more lively."

At this time, the voices of several people were heard from the other side.

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be jackals and ravens.
