Doomsday: I Become Invincible By Picking Up

Chapter 81

C81 – Danger and Opportunity

Among the individuals embarking on the journey to the border, aside from Loong Chen, Dugu Lengyue, and Murong Yuntian, Loong Chen remained unacquainted with the other four companions.

However, that didn’t mean he hadn’t heard about them.

Of these four individuals, there were three men and one woman, all of whom held positions in the Sky Ranking—specifically, the fourth, fifth, eighth, and tenth ranks.

The fourth Sky Ranking member was a young man sporting a blue windbreaker. His countenance was aloof, and he carried a gleaming silver spear on his back.

This man bore the name Zhao Yun, a Level 5 Beginner Level Evolver renowned for his exceptional spear techniques and mastery of the weapon.

While he hadn’t unlocked any exceptional talents, Zhao Yun had ascended to the fourth rank through his mastery of the Grandmaster spear technique, a testament to his formidable prowess.

The fifth-ranked Sky Ranking member was the sole woman among the group, radiating extraordinary beauty. Although she didn’t quite measure up to Dugu Lengyue in terms of physical attractiveness, her presence exuded an irresistible allure that drew the attention of men.

Her name was Lau Fei, also a Level 5 Evolver. Her physique was seductive, particularly her captivating, fox-like eyes, which had an undeniable allure over men.

Loong Chen had heard that her unique talent was linked to charm, but it was more complex than it initially seemed. This charm ability extended even to mutated beasts, marking her as a considerable force.

Nonetheless, this ability appeared ineffective against zombies devoid of consciousness or members of the same sex, representing a notable limitation.

Nevertheless, underestimating her based on this factor would be a grave mistake. Her ascent to the fifth rank of the Sky Ranking had undoubtedly involved showcasing her formidable strength.

Occupying the eighth spot on the Sky Ranking was Chen Mu, a name about which Loong Chen remained relatively uninformed. He possessed an undisclosed ability.

However, securing the eighth position in the Sky Ranking demanded acknowledgment and caution.

The final member held the tenth rank in the Sky Ranking. He appeared roughly the same age as Loong Chen and exuded a reserved demeanor.

This young man bore the name Zhu Hao and pursued the path of a Mechanic.

Zhu Hao’s combat prowess didn’t shine brightly, as he was merely a Level 3 Evolver warrior. Nevertheless, his tenth place in the Sky Ranking held a significant rationale.

The key lay in his identity as a Mechanic—a Mecha Master.

An ancient civilization’s advanced technology remnants had been discovered, unearthing a combat mecha.

This discovery marked the birth of the Mecha Master.

Operating a battle mecha was no easy feat. The higher the mecha’s level, the more challenging it became to operate. Many individuals struggled to master the art of piloting a battle mecha throughout their entire lives.

At just sixteen years old, Zhu Hao had already attained the status of a five-star Mecha Master.

A five-star Mecha Master had the skill to operate a 5-star combat mecha, placing their combat prowess on par with a Level 5 Evolver.

What’s more, due to the formidable defensive capabilities and unique weaponry of his mecha, even some Level 5 Mid Rank or High Rank Evolvers would find it exceedingly difficult to defeat him.

The seven of them sat inside the fighter aircraft, enduring a lengthy flight of five hours before finally reaching the border.

From the plane’s windows, Loong Chen and his companions gazed down upon the imposing city wall that stretched across the landscape.

This city wall reached several thousand feet in height, resembling an endless mountain range when viewed from above, effectively dividing the eastern and western border.

It was this very city wall that served as a barrier against zombies and mutated beasts, preventing the eastern continent from becoming a haven for them.

“So, this is the eastern and western border? I’ve heard that many superpower experts hail from this region. It’s said that the eastern and western border is a place where danger and opportunity walk hand in hand.”

Zhu Hao’s voice carried a sense of awe at this moment.

“Why do they say that danger accompanies opportunity? Is there some sort of opportunity to be found here at the border?”

Loong Chen inquired with surprise. He had initially believed that the super organizations sent their disciples here solely to guard the eastern continent.

Yet, according to Zhu Hao’s words, there appeared to be a deeper reason.

Just as Zhu Hao was about to elaborate, Murong Yuntian shot him a sharp look and commented in an odd tone.

“You didn’t even bother to learn about the eastern and western border before coming here. Individuals like you are destined for a short lifespan in this place.”

Murong Yuntian sneered, but Loong Chen paid him no mind.

This response left Murong Yuntian feeling powerless, as if his punch had landed on a soft target.

Evidently, Zhu Hao had been coerced by Murong Yuntian and dared not explain further to Loong Chen.

However, at this moment, Dugu Lengyue’s voice resonated near Loong Chen’s ear.
