Shen Xing was provoked by Wei Cheng's attitude; in the past, Wei Cheng had always been arrogant and looked down on others.

Now, facing Wei Cheng and being repeatedly scorned by him, he felt incredibly frustrated and angry.

He picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, suppressed his anger, and said, "This is the apocalypse. To survive in the apocalypse, you need to have your own power."

Young Master Wei, the Wei family is currently surrounded by enemies. You should understand what I mean. If you had your own powerful forces, no one would dare to touch your Wei family.

"If it were before, I wouldn't have brought up cooperation with you, but things are different now. If you cooperate with me to build our own power..."

"Aren't you overestimating yourself?"

Wei Cheng interrupted Shen Xing's daydream before he could even finish listening: "Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the Wei family is in crisis, it's not something your small Shen family can compare to."

He put down his coffee cup and looked at Shen Xing with a half-smile: "People should know their place. Someone, see the guest out."

Shen Xing was forced to stand up, and looked at Wei Cheng with a cold glint in his eyes: "Young Master Wei, I came here sincerely to talk about cooperation. Since you don't appreciate it, then I, Shen Xing, have nothing more to say."

After he left, Wei Cheng dialed a number: "Shen Xing can be dealt with now. Don't kill him first. Cut off his brother's body and send him to Lin Lan. After they torture each other, send them on their way."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Cheng stood up and went to the French windows, looking outside with a slight smile on his lips.

He thinks he's someone special just because you give him a smile? What an overconfident fool.

In the Taoist temple on Old Immortal Mountain, the Taoist priest coughed up another mouthful of blood, but he smiled.

"Hahaha, Heaven is helping me! Heaven is helping me!"

"Brother Dao!"

Another Taoist priest ran in and said to him, "Here it comes. I sense a powerful aura."

He frowned immediately: "You've vomited blood again. If this continues, the day the formation breaks, you too will..."

"It's alright. Go and lure them over quickly, be fast."

"I'll go right now."

When Ye Ling and the others appeared on the outskirts of the capital, they were all astonished by what they saw.

Moody rubbed his arms and face vigorously, his scalp tingling, and said, "I have trypophobia, ugh...it's so uncomfortable."

Seeing that Moody's face had turned pale with fright from the scene in front of him, Wei Chi couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

She was a glamorous superstar, but now she has to run around with them.

He didn't know what others thought, but he knew he felt sorry for her. He had been a fan of the female celebrity for several years, and now that they had the opportunity to be together, he wanted to protect her with his actions and spare her suffering.

So he did something bold: he suddenly reached out from behind to block her view and whispered, "Don't look, you'll have nightmares."

Moody was taken aback by Wei Chi's actions and stood still, but his mind was in turmoil.

She wasn't particularly close to him, but his actions were somewhat frivolous and made her uncomfortable.

She knew he meant well, but she could handle it on her own.

Jiang Yin stood on the other side of Moody, glanced at Wei Chi and then at Moody, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Wen Mengxia then asked, "What exactly are these things? Are they unaffected by the extreme cold?"

Just now, Ye Ling flicked her finger forward, and the previously murky air instantly changed, revealing a giant transparent dome in front of them.

A giant transparent dome enveloped the capital, and on it lay countless black and brown mutated insects resembling leeches and spiders, tearing at the dome.

Not only that, the sky in front of us also darkened.

Surprisingly, the scene inside the transparent enclosure was just like a pre-apocalyptic winter, except for the cold.

This was a world apart from the land beneath their feet and the ruins behind them.

It's normal that Moody and Wen Mengxia felt their scalps tingle when they saw what was behind the transparent cover; even Ye Tianfei and the others were not used to seeing this scene.

Ye Boxuan suddenly spoke up: "Look over there, some people went in, but judging from their condition, they were all listless and barely hanging on. But after entering this transparent enclosure, they came back to life, full of energy and hope."

Ye Yanling: "But their eyes clearly showed numbness and emptiness, which was completely different from what they showed."

His tone suddenly turned serious: "These people have a problem."

Ye Boxuan nodded: "Yes, they have a problem. What's even more problematic are the security personnel entering the city. They just let everyone in without question, giving them a quick check."

He looked at Ye Ling: "Lingling, what did you discover?"

The others also looked at Ye Ling, who hadn't said a word since arriving, clearly observing the situation.

Ye Ling didn't speak, but Ye Jingyan spoke for her: "Because the security personnel have been in contact with many outsiders, they have absorbed a lot of evil energy. Now their minds are sluggish, and some of them no longer have their own brains."

This city, seemingly well-protected, actually has serious internal problems. Look at the transparent shield.

Everyone looked up and heard Ye Jingyan say, "Cracks have already appeared. In two days at most, this transparent shield will be destroyed. Without the protection of this transparent shield, you should know what will happen next."

Ye Tianfei asked Ye Jingyan, "Big brother, can I burn all these things? I can't imagine what it would be like if I were under the transparent cover and suddenly attacked by these disgusting things. I would go crazy."

Wen Mengxia and Moody nodded repeatedly. They were also going crazy; just imagining it made them want to collapse.

Ye Jingyan shook his head slightly: "They are attached to the transparent shield. If you use your high-level flames to burn them, you can remove them, but the transparent shield will also be destroyed."

Ye Tianfei's expression was grim: "So we have to wait until they fall down before I can burn them? But it will be even harder for me to burn them then. They'll definitely stick to people, and I can't just burn them all together, can I?"

Ye Jingyan: "No need. When the transparent shield is about to collapse, all of you fire elementals will attack together."
