Apocalypse: Counterattack of a Cannon Fodder

chapter 14: Opening of the Tunnel to Alien Space

Xu Jun blushed and stared viciously at Tang Shi who was sitting on the sofa without saying a word. Suddenly, Xu Jun stood up and walked over with two large cups of yellow wine. In his eyes, Tang Shi was a soft bone to be picked on. A man with that look might as well directly transform into a woman. A man who was too beautiful should be punished by the heaven!

“After drinking this glass of wine, I’ll listen to your explanation for lack of work for no reason,” Xu Jun was confident in his intake of alcohol. Tang Shi didn’t look like a man who could drink a lot. Therefore, Xu Jun intent to have him drunk.

Tang Shi took the glass of wine over but did not drink it. He just played with it in his hand. After a while, he said, “Don’t consider me for leaving the work.”

Xu Jun sneered smugly, thinking that Tang Shi was begging him. “That’s impossible. I’m not the one to make the decision. You know the company system…”

“Just consider me to resign.” Tang Shi’s second half sentence made Xu Jun speechless for a long time.

Everyone else was stunned as well. Xu Jun’s face was cold as if he had been slapped harshly in the face. “Think about it properly. There are many people waiting to replace you. Don’t regret begging me.”

Tang Shi smiled at him but didn’t drink the glass of wine. He put it on the table. “Even if I beg you, you can’t make the decision, right?”

The implication was that you were just a small manager and couldn’t change the company’s system.

Xu Jun was so angry that he wanted to smash the wine glass at Tang Shi’s handsome face, but Tang Shi’s eyes were cold. Such cold eyes made Xu Jun shiver all over his body. For a moment, his mind went blank. Tang Shi lowered his voice and said, “Go away if you finish your nonsense. Don’t disturb me.”

Xu Jun came back to his senses and was very angry that he had been frightened earlier. However, the chilliness from the bottom of his heart made him very afraid, so he could only leave hatefully.

Jiang Mengyao had been observing Tang Shi, but she was disappointed that Tang Shi didn’t even look at her from the beginning.

Tang Shi sat alone in the corner of the sofa, ignoring the sound of laughing and drinking. He watched the time frequently because the tunnel would open at 9 o’clock and end at 11 o’clock.

The pointer of the element energy collector suddenly swung before it started to swing violently.

The end of the world was beginning!

The skin of Tang Shi’s left wrist where was against the surface of element energy collector started to heat up. There was a warmth running down his left arm and throughout his body. He knew that he had begun to absorb element energy.

Element energy was fair for everyone. In the same environment, everyone can absorb element energy. But because of different physique, the speed at which they absorbed element energy varied. Humans could only awaken with 24 single-digit element energy. After awakening, they would enter level zero. In his past life, Tang Shi only reached level 4 and died in Tang Qi and Lu Chuan’s hands.

The element energy collector was like a powerful magnetic field that could gather all the element energy in the air, so that the user’s speed of obtaining element energy would be two to three times faster than ordinary people. The speed was amazing, but other than him, no one else knew this secret. People didn’t know how important element energy was to future humans, equivalent to life!

Tang Shi leaned against the sofa and closed his eyes to rest. He enjoyed this process while feeling the strengthening of element energy in his body. It was just that this peace didn’t last for long. Not long after the end of the world started, a sharp scream resounded across the entire Sleepless Town, followed by a loud and angry shouting.

The colleagues heard the loud noise as they were drinking wine. But they didn’t have an idea what to do. Xu Jun drank a lot and stood up with a flushed face. “What happened?”

No one answered, and Xu Jun was a little hesitated. As the screams were too miserable, he wanted to go out and take a look, but he was a little scared.

He pointed at a staff member. “Go out and take a look.”

The staff member had a bitter face. He was afraid too. However, Xu Jun was his supervisor. He had no reason to turn him down. Therefore, he had to bravely walk towards the door.

At this time, Tang Shi, who had been keeping his eyes shut, opened his mouth. “If you don’t want to die, just stay put.”

The staff was frightened. He stopped at the door and didn’t dare open the door.

Xu Jun had long been annoyed by Tang Shi’s attitude. Tang Shi’s words triggered his anger. In addition to the alcohol, he was brave enough to shout out loud, “You are a bastard! Don’t hide here if you’re afraid. Not only you look like a woman, but your personality is also like a woman. You don’t dare go out. I dare! I am not afraid!”

After two steps, he stopped and asked, “Who else wants to go with me?”

A few courageous male colleagues also stood up and wanted to go with Xu Jun.

Wu Bo was a gossip man who would like to join anything interesting. He immediately followed him. Tang Shi said, “You better not go.”
