Apocalypse: The Stronghold System
Chapter 117: Meeting Su Qing



Fan Chen smiled faintly upon seeing the Devastation wrought from Huanlong-07, and because of this launch, he finally understood why the leader of the Northern Peninsula liked missiles so much, because—it was fun!


"Xiaochu, I will return and enter the virtual world. If there's something to report, then report it, but if nothing matters, you can make your own decisions."


"Good, Master." Xiaochu nodded, and he looked at Fan Chen's eyes which were starting to dim.


Xiaochu controlled Fan Chen's body to return to rest in the cabin inside the building, along with him who cleared up the mess after the ballistic missile launch.

—Virtual— World


From afar, you can see the hills that look very beautiful on a clear day, white clouds slightly block the sun, but do not worsen the atmosphere, but add perfect coolness.


On top of that hill, the wind gently blew the petals of the flowers growing there gently. There is a fresh scent of flowers filling the air that makes the mind calm and peaceful. Under the warm sunlight, the colorful flowers around the hill looked increasingly lively and radiant, like dancing in the sun.


In flowing peace, we can feel tranquility and happiness, as well as feel how extraordinary the universe is. This beautiful atmosphere can bring into a world of hope and feel connected to nature.


At the top of the hill that was filled with a stretch of colorful flowers, there was a beautiful woman lying weakly. Her long black hair shimmers when exposed to warm sunlight. Her delicate and elegant face, with big eyes and pure white skin, her thin pink lips will be very beautiful when smiling


However, this beautiful woman turned a blind eye and from her expression we can tell that she was down, sad, desperate, vengeful, angry and hopeless.


But at this moment, there was suddenly a collection of blue-colored allogarithms that formed a human silhouette that was Fan Chen.


Fan Chen kneeled beside the woman who was none other than Su Qing. With his high access, he gave Su Qing permission to wake up.


Su Qing bit her lips with her trembling body before finally regaining her calm, her eyes twitched, then opened them slowly.


His gaze was slightly empty, but it wasn't long to get his light back. When looking at the blue sky with white clouds moving in the sky, Su Qing suddenly sat down.


"Wait!" Su Qing realized something, she looked at her lower body, she saw her hands that opened and closed. "This, this, this, am I dead, and this is life after death?"


"You're alive."


Su Qing turned her head left, she looked at the man who had been there since when. "Do I know you?" I don't know why he felt so familiar with this man.


"Did you remember anything?"


Su Qing frowned as her question was answered with a question. But just as he tried to remember, suddenly the painful shadow of torture came to his mind, his body was trembling, his overwhelming fear was inexplicable, hatred, anger, pain made him almost mad.


Fan Chen hugged Su Qing, rubbed her head and patted her back. "Quiet, it's okay, now it's safe. Anyway, do you remember me? I'm Fan Chen."


Su Qing muttered, "Fan Chen, Fan Chen, Fan Chen... Fan Chen!"'s!" He looked up holding onto Fan Chen's face.


"Fan Chen!" Su Qing hugged Fan Chen by immersing her face that was starting to get wet from tears. "W-You know, I'd love to see you .. hiks ..."


Fan Chen didn't say anything, he just kept quiet and rubbed Su Qing's head to calm down. He himself understood Su Qing's pain despite never experiencing it himself, years of getting torment without knowing the outside world, always being in a dark place without being able to move the body.


Su Qing looked up at Fan Chen. "Your voice, I deserve to feel familiar, it turns out that what saved me from the mad scientist was you."


Fan Chen combed Su Qing's hair. "Did you remember everything?"


Su Qing shook her head dangdut replied, "Not all, but I still remember some things starting from the computer connected to the internet network until the loss of consciousness." He wiped the tears in his eyes.


"By the way, didn't you say that I would be in a vegetative state forever? But, why can I blink my eyes, talk, move my hands and so on?"


Fan Chen waved his hand, revealing a virtual screen beside him. "Look at this, this is the condition of your body. If we remove the mask and remove the nutrient liquid, you'll die."


"You can read it yourself." Fan Chen waved his hand, revealing another screen whose contents were examination reports.


Su Qing's body trembled as she read the report. "Ap- What ... no other .. expectations?" The light in his eyes dimmed and his gaze was blank. "What, I must ... perform a massive operation ... replace all organs .... with artificial organs? It's no different than a machine."


Fan Chen stretched out his hand, he embraced Su Qing's shoulder to calm her down. "Nutrient fluid has the Space Worm gene that has fibroblasts and epithelial cells by 10,000% and compounds that regenerate muscles, nerves and meat. We wait for a month, if it does not produce results, then replacing the internal organs is the only way."


Su Qing sobbed with tears flowing back, until she suddenly realized something. "If it's my body, then where am I! Is this a computer like in the lab before?"


Fan Chen wiped Su Qing's tears away. "Yes, this is a virtual world." He waved his hand, revealing the VR Pod. "My real body is in it."


Su Qing looked at the VR Pod, then lowered her head. "I'm in a virtual world alone, like, I can only see the outside world through the camera."


"What's that empty muzzle are you talking about? Looky!" Fan Chen showed the assembly process of the new humanoid robot whose main frame was completed. "By moving your consciousness there, you can control the robot like your own body."


Su Qing opened her eyes wide when she saw the automatically assembled robot, she also saw the silicone skin that was being printed resembled the structure of her face. "A-What is this possible?"


"Yes ..." Fan Chen nodded. "Do you think I saved you from China to the Bald Eagle Country using a real body? Even if I have a hundred lives, I don't want to risk my life. We have technology like this, shouldn't it be put to good use?"


"In five hours, your silicone-based body will be finished. By the way, I have to go, you can chat with my secretary outside."


Su Qing looked at Katerina who was sitting behind the control table, she couldn't help but admire the figure of the beautiful woman, but upon seeing the conspicuous part, she pouted and grumbled, "Big chest is the enemy!"


Fan Chen fell silent, he looked at Katerina, then looked at Su Qing, then he nodded. She understood why Su Qing was angry when she saw Katerina's figure, because Su Qing's possession was so small, there was not half of Fan Xiaoyu's younger sister, let alone Katerina.


"What did you see?" Su Qing stared intently at Fan Chen and snorted coldly with both hands ruffled around her waist.


"Nothing." Fan Chen shook his head while standing up and patted the grass that was stuck on his clothes. "I go first, and if you want anything, you can ask it from Katerina, including food."


After saying that, Fan Chen disappeared without waiting for a reply from Su Qing.


Su Qing was stunned when she saw Fan Chen who disappeared suddenly, but from here she knew that this place was indeed not the world. But to be able to sense all the senses, this is incredible.


"Even if it's not the real world, but to be able to feel touch, I'm already very happy. Years of torture, and almost a year of being in a computer without feeling anything, right now, I feel like I'm in Heaven."


Su Qing stood up and spread out her hands while closing her eyes, enjoying the cool breeze blowing with the warm sunlight washing over her body. When he opened his eyes again, he saw an apple tree suddenly appear in front of him.


He picked a ripe apple. "Can I eat it?"


He opened his mouth, biting the apple until it let out a crisp sound. He chewed it slowly, feeling a feeling he had not felt for a long time, two years more never ate anything, his life had been fed only with nutritional fluids.


Glup...


Su Qing swallowed it, she suddenly dropped the apple in her hand, her tears flowing down her delicate cheeks. "Lezat..."


He squatted down and wiped his tears that kept coming out. "Thank you, thank you, thank you..."


Katerina who was observing outside, was speechless and there was an emotion rising in her heart, an inexplicable emotion of anger. But it was not angry that Fan Chen was close to Su Qing, it was angry when he saw Su Qing's miserable fate.


Katerina smiled faintly, she was determined to make use of the prisoner with “As good” as possible.
