Zhang Ying Hao frowned: “It’s not, can’t you be a little quieter during a meal? You’re making my ears ring”

“Fine, fine, you’re the one paying so I’ll listen”

Liao Xing went silent, but was still scanning Ye Fei Li with his eyes nonstop.

After a while, he couldn’t help himself and asked: “Man Killer Fiends still need to eat?”

Ye Fei Li didn’t really care, but still answered: “I can’t sate my hunger no matter what I eat, only killing will”

“But I still have a sense of taste” he put down his utensils and wiped his mouth with a cloth, “I eat these things because they are still delicious, and I couldn’t afford them before”

“You’re quite the interesting little fella” Liao Xing rolled his eyes, then spoke: “I like people like you, how about you work for me from now on?”

Ye Fei Li replied: “You’re not qualified for that”

“Bullshit, I’m the Confederate’s number one scientist! And you’re still saying I’m not qualified to be your friend?”

Ye Fei Li glanced at him, face full of disdain and shook his head.

Suddenly, the Holo-Brain in his breast pocket lit up, together with an electronic voice.

“Target detected, Southeast 357km away, currently moving towards the capital”

Hearing that, Ye Fei Li took half a lobster in hand, stood up and left the table.

Suddenly, a pair of terrifying bone wings sprouted from his back.

“What are you doing?” Liao Xing stared at the pair of bone wings and spoke with an extremely nervous tone.

“I’m going to sate my hunger” Ye Fei Li answered, jumped out of the window, turned into a streak of blood red light and flew away.

…

“Who is Ye Fei Li’s target?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

[The Man Killer Fiend with the ability to spread plague] Impartial Goddess replied

“That’s reasonable, it should be dealt with quickly, otherwise more and more people will die” Gu Qing Shan agreed.

[Sir, where are we headed now?] Impartial Goddess suddenly asked.

“Let’s go to where Zhang Ying Hao is ———Right now, I have something very important I need to ask you”

[Please speak, sir] Impartial Goddess replied.

Gu Qing Shan became very tense as he asked: “This rain, did you notice something inappropriate about it?”

…

Another side.

Ye Fei Li stopped his flight and let himself descend, moving through the thick layers of black clouds and finally landed on a desolate empty area.

A skeleton covered entirely in rotting flesh and a yellow mist was slowly moving forward.

As the skeleton saw him, it stopped.

Using a raspy, hardened voice, it spoke word by word: 『 I already gave you city, why are you still chasing me? 』

“You’ve already killed everything in there, what use is that do me?” Ye Fei Li answered.

The skeleton’s voice became sharper: 『 I already made compromise, what else you want? 』

『 I not know why you need chase me 』it continued: 『 There countless beings on this world to kill. You and I highly evolved kin. No need to kill each other 』

“Kin? Kill each other?”

Ye Fei Li tilted his head and threw half the lobster in his hand over.

The skeleton unconsciously caught it, only glanced slightly before dropping it.

『 Give me this unusable thing, what you mean? 』it asked cautiously.

Ye Fei Li stared at the dropped lobster, then answered regretfully: “Such delicious food, and yet you didn’t even notice”

He raised his hand.

An endless torrent of blood red glow flowed to his hand, dancing like a flame.

“It seems that we are not kin after all”

Flapping his terrifying bone wings, Ye Fei Li smirked as he flew forward.

…

On the small-sized shuttle.

[Sir, which type of inappropriateness do you mean?]

“How it affects this planet”

[Except the fact that rain water had increased, there has been no anomaly so far]

“Rain water increased…” Gu Qing Shan mumbled.

War God UI doesn’t tell lies, so if it said there’s a huge change in space-time, there probably is.

But what change would that be?

“The rain…” Gu Qing Shan mumbled on.

Then he suddenly: “Impartial Goddess, show me all the locations that are raining right now”

[Please wait. I will require 7 seconds to connect to and extract the weather satellite around the world] Impartial Goddess replied.

A screen then showed the map of the world.

“Use a red color to show places that are raining right now” he spoke.

Immediately, the entire map became covered in red.

Aside from the ocean, most places on the map was replaced with the color red.

Only a few very remote places without people are still sunny.

As the dim red light showered Gu Qing Shan’s face, his anxiety was seen very clearly.

Every place with human inhabitants are raining at the same time, how could that ever be normal?

Seems like he didn’t make a mistake.

This rain really is the rain of the Apocalypse.

The best way to penetrate into this world is to use the weather to slowly seep power in from outside.

And the rain is the best choice for doing that, since it will seep into anything and everything, including very deep underground.

Gu Qing Shan quickly ordered: “Report this to the weather and biology department, have them put out some experts to analyze the rain water’s content”

[Very well sir]

The screen shut off, the world map disappeared.

Gu Qing Shan thought a bit more, then asked: “Have any locations in the world showed a change in temperature?”

Impartial Goddess stopped for a second, then replied: [There aren’t any clear signs]

Gu Qing Shan loosened himself a bit, muttering: “It’s raining, but it’s not that calamity…”

“Keep a close eye on the situation, report to me as the biological reports come”

[Understood] Impartial Goddess continued, [according to recorded logs, while you weren’t here, a certain person had requested to meet you 5 times]

“Who?”

[The President]

“While I wasn’t here?”

[This is now the 6th time]

“Seems like it’s urgent… how much is the distance between us?”

[He’s currently residing at a city’s military airport, 173km from where we are sir]

“Reply to him that we’re coming to meet him right now” Gu Qing Shan spoke.

[Understood]

Gu Qing Shan holds a positive attitude towards the President.

This President has always worked for the sake of the Confederate’s citizens, no matter if it’s the previous life or this life, his actions have always made Gu Qing Shan respect him.

The small-sized shuttle drew an arc in the heavy rain and headed towards another direction.

The meeting place was an office.

After going through layers and layers of security measures, when Gu Qing Shan came to the office, the secretaries were sitting on the sofa discussing something.

The President was sitting behind a wooden desk, working.

He was now wearing prescription glasses, his back arched as he had to use his arms to brace on the desk, he was moving constantly reading document after document, occasionally marking them with his pen.

Gu Qing Shan noticed there were a few more liver spots on the President’s face.

His back was also no longer as straight as it was before.

“Mr. President, I’m here” Gu Qing Shan said.

When the President lifted his head, he recognized Gu Qing Shan.

“So you’re finally here” he smiled and put his glasses on the table.

“You seem to be in a hurry looking for me, sir” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Right, yes, there’s something that I’ve been thinking about, but I feel I need to talk to you about it first” the President took his hand to stand up and said.

“I’m honored” Gu Qing Shan smiled.

The President ordered his secretaries: “All of you leave first, I have something personal I have to talk about”

The secretaries all stood up, smiled at Gu Qing Shan and left.

The door closed.

The President became strangely silent as he walked.

“Tea or coffee?” he asked.

“There’s no need for you to do that sir”

“No worries, I’ve put off having a meal with you for so long since I don’t have the time, but I still have time to at least make some tea”

“Then tea please”

“Very well”

They both sat down and took a sip.

“I know everything about what you’ve been doing” the President said.

Gu Qing Shan nodded.

“I’m probably the only President in the history of the Confederate that shares his highest authority with someone else”

“I’m sorry about that, I ——–“

“No, no, no, don’t misunderstand. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing” the President continued: “This way, I won’t have to do everything alone all the time”

“Whenever I have the time, I’ve been using my highest authority to see what you’ve been doing, not only does that bring me pleasant surprises, it also brought me hope for the future”
