Apocalypse - Infinite Resource System
Chapter 285: Drawing again
In the chat channel,The incident regarding the United Fleet’s attack on the Dawn has increasingly captured people’s attention. Whether they are worried about the safety of the Dawn or hoping for its sinking, everyone is anticipating an outcome.
However, the United Fleet seems to have completely disappeared, as if evaporated from the face of the Earth, without any messages coming out. The whole situation gives off an eerie vibe.
"It’s been a week, why haven’t there been any updates from the United Fleet? Where on earth did the United Fleet go? What have they been up to?"
"Initially, I thought maybe the Dawn was just hiding too well, making it difficult for the United Fleet to catch them, so the United Fleet hesitated to make any announcements. However, as time passes, this speculation seems increasingly unlikely."
"I think we should stop deluding ourselves. Perhaps something has happened to the United Fleet!"
"The seas are ever-changing, full of mysteries. Perhaps, they encountered a storm in a certain maritime area or hit hidden reefs, and all sank together?"
The reasons given by the comments above are too far-fetched and basically unbelievable!
Everyone is watching intently, discussing what might have happened to the United Fleet.
Just at this moment, when the Dawn was believed to be on the verge of sinking, it suddenly made an announcement.
"This is the Dawn. Thank you all for your concern. Currently, our Dawn is intact, and the crew is safe and sound!
"Regarding the news about Chief Waldo’s demise that some of you mentioned, we can categorically state that it’s an outright rumor! Our leader, Waldo, is unharmed and in good health!"
Lastly, concerning the matter of the United Fleet that everyone is concerned about, we can inform you all unequivocally that the United Fleet has been annihilated, sinking under the formidable firepower of our Dawn!
"Hereby, the Dawn solemnly notifies all factions and individuals that anyone harboring ill intentions towards the Dawn will pay a painful price! Please act cautiously, and do not provoke us!"
"We won’t harm others unless provoked. If provoked, we will retaliate!"
Boom!
Upon seeing this announcement, public opinion erupted.
No one had expected this outcome.
It’s too far-fetched!
The Dawn can actually contend with the United Fleet?
And even eliminate them?
Unbelievable!
Many people couldn’t accept this fact and deemed it to be false. However, soon after, the Dawn released a video. It was the scene of the United Fleet warships sinking.
The spectacle was quite shocking.With this ironclad evidence, even the skeptics had to believe.
"So, the Dawn was this powerful, this terrifying!"
"It’s truly mind-boggling!"
"My goodness, it’s unbelievable!"
"Such terror! Even Waldo’s death was fake! How many tricks does he have up his sleeve?"
"I suspect all of this was orchestrated by Waldo. First a fake death to deceive the United Fleet, and then, using some means, annihilating the United Fleet!"
"Waldo, this person, is too terrifying! It’s hard to imagine that such a formidable United Fleet wasn’t his match!"
"Does this mean we’ll all have to live under Waldo’s shadow in the future? As we all know, Waldo is quite a ruthless person. I’m scared, what should we do?"
"No need to worry, this world is constantly changing, and various forces are rapidly rising. Waldo can only have temporary dominance! It won’t be long before other powers replace him."
"That’s right, everyone doesn’t need to worry excessively!"
"Waldo doesn’t have the energy to pay attention to what’s happening in the chat channel.
He returned to the Dawn several days ago.
The major battle had just concluded, and he was a bit relaxed. He took some time to enjoy life. Had an interesting conversation with Alanna Helen about life. Living in a dreamlike state is not uncommon.
Fortunately, Waldo realized it in time. He focused his main attention on strengthening his own power. On one hand, he once again manufactured two hundred combat robots. They were formed into collection teams to go out and find resource crates.
On the other hand, he initiated a lottery. Currently, the invincible ship severely lacked long-range attack weapons. It also lacked genuinely deterrent weapons.
No missiles, the numerous missile launch systems were wasted.
Truly a waste!
At present, Waldo can only attempt to acquire supplies through lotteries.
It would be best for me to go for the Diamond or Epic levels of lottery, this way, the obtained resources would be more valuable, and the possibility of getting missiles would be much higher.
With this thought in mind, Waldo didn’t hesitate. He started the lottery.
Over these days, he had accumulated quite a few survival points.
For the first time, he spent five survival points to try an upgraded version of the lottery and obtained an endless supply of anti-aircraft shells. Then, he continued with two more rounds of the lottery. Yet, he still didn’t get the missiles he desired the most. Waldo took a deep breath.
One last time! If he couldn’t get it this time, he would have to wait for the next opportunity. Luck wasn’t on his side today!
The result is in: Unlimited anti-air missiles!
Great!
Waldo’s face finally displayed a rare smile.
The previous frustration was completely gone. With the anti-air missiles, the invincible ship’s strength had finally been raised to another level! However, it was still not enough.
"I need to obtain other types of missiles, like anti-ship missiles, anti-submarine missiles, and so on!"
Waldo thought to himself. With the destruction of the United Fleet, Waldo’s life finally entered a period of tranquility. His reputation was immense.
More accurately, it was his infamous reputation that was widespread. In total, he sank six warships, and more than ten level-60 rulers met a brutal end at his hands. Countless survivors were indirectly or directly killed by him.
Waldo’s hands were stained.
A stern executioner!
A killer!
A dictator!
A fearsome demon!
In short, people’s opinions of Waldo weren’t favorable. However, the results were quite significant. Afterward, whenever any Ark saw the Dawn, they would steer clear from a distance, afraid that Waldo would target them and launch an attack!
No one dared to mess with such a ruthless character. There was no time to hide!
Even within the major Arks, various exaggerated legends about Waldo began to circulate.
"Shocking! They said Waldo once captured a thirty-ton giant whale and ate more than half of it by himself! No wonder Waldo’s power was so terrifying!"
"It’s said that when dealing with the United Fleet before, Waldo transformed into a water god and created monstrous waves, overturning the United Fleet. Currently, such a situation was indeed possible!"
"According to reliable sources, every time Waldo killed someone, he would cut off their ears and take them home to cook. Who would have thought that Waldo had such a bloody side!"
"This person, Waldo, had to drink three liters of the freshest human blood before going to bed every day. And every time he engaged in intimate acts, he had to be with five to seven women at once, or he couldn’t be satisfied!"
"Shocking! According to the latest information, the true number of people Waldo the Great Demon King has killed should be around fifty thousand, and the number of warships he has sunk is fifteen! We’ve all been deceived; these are the real crimes Waldo has committed!"
In short, the various legends about Waldo became increasingly exaggerated. However, there were still people who believed.
As a result, Waldo’s infamous reputation spread even further. His brutality and cruelty became more ingrained in people’s minds! The entire ocean was filled with legends about Waldo.
To the point that when Waldo saw these rumors, he couldn’t help but laugh and cry. This was just too absurd.
Alanna and Helen, on the other hand, were quite excited. They collected rumors about Waldo all day long.
Every time they saw one, they would laugh the whole day.
Waldo said, "I’m quite helpless about this. Who are these people spreading rumors? My once good reputation has been completely ruined. Although I don’t want to be a great hero, I also don’t want to be a feared demon king that makes children cry just by hearing my name!"
Waldo felt tired. However, he didn’t pay too much attention to these things. After all, reputation is just an external thing and doesn’t represent much. Moreover, having an infamous reputation isn’t all that bad. At least, no one dared to come provoke him.
On Waldo’s side, life was very peaceful. However, the ocean was anything but calm.
People kept discovering resource crates, and an increasing number of warships were emerging from these crates. The quantity of floating warships on the entire ocean was growing at a terrifying speed.
The strength of various Noah’s Arks was becoming more and more formidable. Previously, it took multiple factions working together to assemble a fleet. Now, some Noah’s Arks had formed their own small fleets.
This world was changing at an unimaginable speed. This resulted in an imbalance among various factions. Many powerful Noah’s Ark controllers began to have peculiar thoughts.
Slowly, they started to clash with other Noah’s Arks. And then, it escalated into conflicts. Eventually, these conflicts escalated further, leading to an outbreak of war.
Instances like these happened from time to time.
Many Noah’s Arks were forcibly assimilated. There were also many Noah’s Arks that, to avoid war, united and formed powerful alliances.
On the vast sea, the fires of war blazed. Even Waldo could feel this chaos. Because, while the Dawn sailed on the sea, they would always see the corpses of survivors floating in the ocean.
There were also remnants of warships that hadn’t sunk to the seabed, along with various fragments. What met the eye was desolation. Decaying bodies emitted a foul stench, drifting aimlessly on the ocean, making one’s scalp tingle.
The changes were happening too fast. Probably, including myself, no one anticipated that the world would change so rapidly. In an instant, it seemed like the world had taken on a completely different form!
Waldo looked at the various debris and corpses on the sea’s surface. His brows furrowed, feeling some worry. Nowadays, Noah’s Arks, big and small, easily engaged in battles.
The only good news was that no one dared to provoke them!
It seems like my notorious reputation is playing quite a role.
