When they returned to Xingyuan Building, An Ya had already prepared a hot meal 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 men on the fifth floor. Cao Yongyi and Ji Zhiwen have gone out to look for a vehicle. Our current vehicle is a bit old…”

Embarrassment colored An Ya’s words as she thought about how she had driven over a hundred kilometers and the front of the vehicle was already severely damaged.

Chu Zixuan was by now used to activating his Mental 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 metal 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 equipment, 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-meter-long, half-a-meter-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 merged 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 exclaimed, “Each of these machines had a hundred to two hundred kilograms of iron plates beneath them that you’ve melted…”

He took a rough count; there were over thirty pieces of equipment in the area, all without their bottom iron plates. If each piece of equipment 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 time, 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 somewhat 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 meters, and less than three. Considering his transformative height of six meters, 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 some 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 time in the future.

Returning to a spacious suite on the sixth floor, Ji Zhiwen and Cao Yongyi had also come 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 me to reintroduce, this is our team’s chief weapons master, Ma Li. He melted down all the iron plates in the gym on the eighth floor and created a solid iron stick for me that is six meters long and over half a meter in diameter. 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, seemed 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 compliments for Ma Li, who they saw as a harmless team member 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 immediately rushed to the windows.

It was the second night since the end of the world had begun. It was a crucial time 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 same, hoping that the disappeared Spatial Channels would not reappear.

But to everyone’s disappointment, a massive Spatial Channel, dozens of meters 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 meters high. The one appearing now was clearly larger than yesterday’s!

Reminded by him, everyone else also noticed this change.

“What does this mean, 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 formed, the tact that their size has increased, does this mean… Larger creatures will come 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 emerged from the giant Spatial Channel in the distance.

From afar, a giant Golden Beetle, over five meters tall and nearly twenty meters long, crawled out. Surrounding it, numerous two-meter long flying beetles swarmed out as though escorting it.

“New insects have truly appeared!”
