When they returned to Xingyuan Building, An Ya had already prepared a hot al for both of them.
Unlike many places in Nanyuan City where power had been cut off, the power grid in Xingyuan County had not been destroyed. Without human maintenance and operation, it could still function for another day at most before it would stop entirely.
“Where are the others?”
While eating, Du Gang asked.
“I placed the n on the fifth floor. Cao Yongyi and Ji Zhiwen have gone out to look for a vehicle. Our current vehicle is a bit old…”
Embarrassnt colored An Ya’s words as she thought about how she had driven over a hundred kiloters and the front of the vehicle was already severely damaged.
Chu Zixuan was by now used to activating his ntal Power detection wherever he went. Almost instantly upon their return, he knew the location of everyone through a quick scan.
“Where’s Ma Li?” Du Gang looked around and didn’t spot Ma Li.
“He’s in the gym on the eighth floor, using his tal superpower to create a weapon that can be used after your transformation! ”
“Oh?”
Interest piqued, Du Gang, whose strength was formidable after transformation but who also desired a handy piece of equipnt, quickly swallowed a couple of mouthfuls and headed for the eighth floor.
The free weights section of the gym had completely changed. The dumbbells and barbells had all disappeared, replaced by a six-ter-long, half-a-ter-thick iron bar on the ground.
Next to it, Ma Li was kneeling on the ground, pressing a dumbbell plate onto the iron bar.
“Du Gang, you’re here. Look, this is the weapon I am forging for you!”
Ma Li was overjoyed. This task made him feel like he was contributing.
Looking at the iron stick on the ground, which was made entirely of solid iron blocks, Du Gang was astonished: “How heavy is this thing?”
“I don’t know. I rged all the iron blocks in the gym, so it should weigh a few thousand pounds?”
“A few thousand pounds?”
Shocked to see that all the iron plates from the fixed weight machines were gone, Du Gang exclaid, “Each of these machines had a hundred to two hundred kilograms of iron plates beneath them that you’ve lted…”
He took a rough count; there were over thirty pieces of equipnt in the area, all without their bottom iron plates. If each piece of equipnt had two hundred kilograms of iron plates, that’s already six thousand kilograms—or six tons.
In addition to the pile of iron plates from the free weights area, the combined weight was likely around ten tons, equivalent to over twenty thousand pounds. It was even heavier than Sun Wukong’s thirteen and a half thousand pound Golden Cudgel!
“You sure I can lift this thing?”
This ti, it was Du Gang’s turn to feel slightly insecure. His mathematical prowess made him realize that this contraption was even heavier than the Golden Cudgel, which was sowhat alarming.
Scratching his head, Ma Li admitted, “I don’t know. I made the thickness according to the size of your hand after transformation, and the length according to your height. I thought solid iron blocks would give better quality,
so I added them all…”
Du Gang glanced up at the ceiling which wasn’t that high—just over two ters, and less than three. Considering his transformative height of six ters, he gave up the impulse to transform and try lifting it right then and there.
“Never mind, stop working on it for now. It’s about to get dark. Go downstairs and wait!”
For so reason, he had a vague sense of unease.
“Alright!” Ma Li put down the iron plate in his hand, taking one last glance at the iron bar. He noticed quite a few numbers on it, including labels like 2kg, 3kg, and so on.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, he admitted his superpower still needed more practice. While he could fuse two pieces of iron together, he struggled to erase the numbers and labels on the iron plates. 1–1e figured he could smooth it out when he had more ti in the future.
Returning to a spacious suite on the sixth floor, Ji Zhiwen and Cao Yongyi had also co back.
Seeing Du Gang entering, Ji Zhiwen reported with a grin, “We found a van with keys. It can seat seven people. Tomorrow we can hit the road in this van!”
Du Gang smiled and regretfully said, “You guys might need to look for another vehicle. Better find a truck that’s capable of hauling heavy loads. I have a weapon weighing a dozen tons that I need to carry!”
“A dozen-ton weapon?”
Du Gang sidestepped, revealing Ma Li behind him and introduced, “Allow to reintroduce, this is our team’s chief weapons master, Ma Li. He lted down all the iron plates in the gym on the eighth floor and created a solid iron stick for that is six ters long and over half a ter in diater. The weight, well, ten tons is my estimate, but the actual weight could be much more than that! ”
Ma Li, who had always been a bit timid, seed even more bashful as Du Gang introduced him. He gave everyone a shy smile, not knowing how to react.
“Great job, Ma Li!”
“Ma Li, your superpower is truly useful!”
Others didn’t skimp on complints for Ma Li, who they saw as a harmless team mber with a good relationship with Du Gang. They all started praising him.
“The sun has disappeared!”
Chu Zixuan, who had been continuously monitoring the situation outside, reminded everyone at this point.
Everyone imdiately rushed to the windows.
It was the second night since the end of the world had begun. It was a crucial ti that would illuminate whether the world would remain in its post-apocalyptic state or revert to normal.
“Don’t appear! Don’t appear!”
Like Ma Li, An Ya murmured softly. In fact, everyone was feeling the sa, hoping that the disappeared Spatial Channels would not reappear.
But to everyone’s disappointnt, a massive Spatial Channel, dozens of ters high, suddenly appeared at a square not far away from them.
The previously empty street was once again filled with Black Beetles gushing out from the portal.
“These Spatial Channels have grown larger!”
Just as before, Chu Zixuan remained calm and noticed the change in the Spatial Channels.
Last night, the Spatial Channel that had appeared on the campus was only a few ters high. The one appearing now was clearly larger than yesterday’s!
Reminded by him, everyone else also noticed this change.
“What does this an, why has it grown larger?”
With a touch of worry, Cao Yongyi felt a hint of ominous premonition. “Regardless of how these Spatial Channels are ford, the tact that their size has increased, does this an… Larger creatures will co through?!!”
Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat. Black Beetles were already difficult enough to handle, and if even larger creatures appeared…
“Don’t think about it. Beware of Murphy’s law…”
Chu Zixuan made a half-serious joke. However, before he could finish speaking, a gigantic golden creature slowly erged from the giant Spatial Channel in the distance.
From afar, a giant Golden Beetle, over five ters tall and nearly twenty ters long, crawled out. Surrounding it, nurous two-ter long flying beetles sward out as though escorting it.
“New insects have truly appeared!”
