Chapter 388

Of course, he would not misunderstand that Cheng Hui hated him, but he just didn't understand what was going on.

…

"Ah Hui?" Lin Qingqiu looked puzzled.

Of course he would not misunderstand that Cheng Hui hated him, he just didn't understand what was going on.

He lowered his head and looked at his body. He was dressed in ordinary clothes, nothing special, except... it seemed a little shiny...

Um?

How can he shine?

Lin Qingqiu was also stunned. His whole body was emitting a bright light, and this light was gradually increasing and becoming a little dazzling.

"Qingqiu... you've awakened. Control yourself quickly..."

Cheng Hui looked away and said with a helpless smile.

Lin Qingqiu just didn't realize it for a moment, but after he realized that he had awakened his special powers, with his ability, he was naturally able to restrain the slowly emitting light.

When the light around him gradually disappeared, he pulled Cheng Hui back to sit down and handed him chopsticks.

"I awakened the light-related ability?" Lin Qingqiu sat opposite Cheng Hui, staring at his fingertips.

There, a small ball of light was suspended, circling up and down, but it never flew out of the distance around his fingertips by an inch.

For monks, controlling superpowers is as easy as drinking water and eating. After all, when using spiritual energy to release spells, it needs to be converted, but superpowers do not need this, just store and release. The only thing you need to do is to control the approximate shape when the superpower leaves the body. It is very simple.

The tiny ball of light was extremely well-behaved in Lin Qingqiu's hands. Sometimes it was rolled into a rabbit, sometimes into a small snake. It was obviously a ball of light, but it could be kneaded as if it were plasticine. Even the small animals kneaded by Lin Qingqiu were so lively that there was nothing abnormal about them except that they were a little smaller.

Removing the light ball from his fingertips, Lin Qingqiu held his chin and looked at Cheng Hui: "Ah Hui, what is your special ability?"

He didn't ask why he had superpowers. The essence of the apocalypse was evolution, but some people succeeded while others failed. The better the physique, the higher the chance of evolution. This was also why the elderly and children were easily transformed into zombies.

Even ordinary people can evolve superpowers. How could cultivators like Cheng Hui and Lin Qingqiu, who possess physical fitness far superior to that of ordinary people, not evolve superpowers?

The first three days are the peak period of superpower evolution. The probability of generating superpowers after three days is not high. However, this is limited to natural evolution. There are also some means of artificial intervention. The simplest way is to bite a zombie and gamble your life. If you win, everyone is happy, and if you lose, everything is over.

I won’t mention the rest of the methods, but in short, by the middle and late stages, the country will have special ways to stimulate superpowers.

Of course, the means of artificial intervention are definitely not as good as natural evolution. At least in the early stages, the psychics produced by natural evolution often have extremely powerful strength, while those produced by artificial intervention are much worse.

It's like two people are running, and one of them stands ten meters in front of the other.

Is it possible for the person behind to catch up? Yes!

But in the end, the person in front has a greater chance of winning.

There are also differences among those who evolve superpowers during these three days. The longer the time it takes to evolve superpowers, the stronger the abilities become. This can also be linked to physical fitness.

Therefore, a triple-strength physique like Cheng Hui's would need at least three days to evolve superpowers. If he were unlucky enough to be killed by a zombie in the first three days, it would likely create a powerful zombie with superpowers. That's how those powerful mutant zombies came about in the beginning. The same thing happened with the two unlucky zombies Cheng Hui had killed earlier.

There are many kinds of superpowers, and no one knows what superpower they will awaken. Lin Qingqiu was not surprised that he would awaken a superpower, but was surprised why he awakened the light power.

The light system and the blood system, if not poles apart... at least they have nothing to do with each other. No matter how you think about it, something like the light system, which sounds legitimate, should not appear on him.

This is as outrageous as a demon cultivator using the Buddhist Great Light Mantra.

Cheng Hui finished his breakfast with a slurp and burped with satisfaction.

They had expended a lot of energy last night, and now they didn't have the ability to recover through dual cultivation, so the energy they had consumed could only be replenished with food.

He was also quite curious about how Lin Qingqiu could evolve light-based abilities, but overall it wasn't that difficult to understand.

The light system represents brightness and hope. Although Lin Qingqiu always calls himself the Demon Lord, in fact, he has never done anything cruel.

There was no such thing before she was with him, and there was even less such thing after she was with him. She even received merit from heaven because she and Cheng Hui developed the territory under their command, allowing those mortals to live a good life.

That’s right, in addition to the merits they gained on the day they became Taoist partners, after Cheng Hui popularized compulsory education, the two of them once again received rewards from heaven.

The Heavenly Dao of the Xuanheng Realm is very generous and has given a lot of merits. Cheng Hui has also spared no effort to use the merits he has obtained to wash away Lin Qingqiu's karma. It can be said that any Taoist monk who sees Lin Qingqiu at this time will have to praise him as a blessed person.

Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem difficult to understand why he could evolve light-related abilities.

Lin Qingqiu had only asked casually, and after Cheng Hui gave him a brief explanation he could roughly guess what was going on.

Superpowers, whether they are light or blood-related, are not difficult for him. If a dignified cultivator cannot even understand this little bit of energy, then he has lived in vain for the past few hundred years.

Cheng Hui hasn't felt any energy running in his body yet, but since the zombie outbreak, he does feel that there is something indescribable between heaven and earth.

It's a bit like spiritual energy, but not exactly the same. However, it can be speculated that this thing is most likely the source of the zombie outbreak.

This world is undergoing an evolution, or a world upgrade. If successful, the magic-free world can be transformed into a low-magic world, and at the same time, it can also be transformed from fantasy into reality.

Cheng Hui wanted to help this world, not only because it was very similar to his hometown, but also because he wanted to earn some merit. Merit is something rare but has infinite uses, so if you can get it, you can't miss it.

"Although it hasn't evolved yet, I guess it's most likely fire-type." Cheng Hui stretched, stood up and walked to the balcony.

Lin Qingqiu followed him over. Through the balcony window, he could see zombies still roaming the neighborhood below. With Cheng Hui's eyesight, he could see that many people were still hiding in the surrounding buildings. Occasionally, someone would lift the curtains and look down, looking worried.

He thought about it. Today was the third day of the apocalypse. It was no exaggeration to say that the atmosphere in the entire community was panic-stricken. The most important thing was that many people had no food in stock at home. Ordinary families had some rice and flour, which was enough to make ends meet and last for a few days.

But those who rely on takeout all day long are miserable. Apart from snacks, there is not even a grain of rice at home. At most, there are a few packets of instant noodles. They must be hungry now.

Cheng Hui felt that this was not a good way to go. Who knew when the army would be able to rescue here?

It would definitely not work to put your hopes on others, so he simply opened the window and shouted, "Does anyone want to go out with me to clean up the zombies?"

There was silence and no one answered.

Cheng Hui was not angry. Everyone was definitely afraid of zombies, but it had been three days and some people must have adapted to this environment. All he had to do was make a good start. He believed that someone would follow suit.

He shouted a few more times, calling on everyone to act together. It would be best to clear out the zombies in the community. No one wanted to make any noise and have the door blocked by a group of zombies, right?

Don't forget that as time goes by, zombies will also evolve. In the later stages, it will be a real question whether the security door can stop the zombies.

Sure enough, there are many people with foresight like him. After he started it, everyone just watched for a while and then joined in.

Cheng Hui and Lin Qingqiu are two strong adult men, but they still have to be vigilant against zombie attacks. Those who have elderly, weak, women and children at home are even more worried, fearing that the zombies will break down the door and kill their entire family.

In this way, Cheng Hui took the initiative and contacted a dozen young and strong people, and decided to clean up the buildings where they lived. In this way, at least people in the same building could share what they had.

Cheng Hui and Lin Qingqiu quickly changed their clothes and went out. The first person they contacted was a young man on the third floor of the building next door.

After killing two or three zombies in the corridor, they knocked on the door of the young man's house.

The young man was not very old, about twenty years old, wearing thick clothes and holding a spear in his hand. If you look closely, you will find that this spear is similar to the one made by Cheng Hui and others in the supermarket. They are all made of wooden sticks and knives. Everyone is extremely vigilant about the zombie virus. Thanks to various apocalyptic novels, these young people have also learned some ways to deal with it.

I can't say it's definitely useful, but it's more or less helpful.

When the young man came out, his mother had a long face, obviously disapproving of him going out to kill zombies.

However, the aunt recovered well. Although she was unhappy, she did not say anything. She just asked her son to be careful and sincerely asked Cheng Hui to take better care of her son.

Cheng Hui did not make any promises, but just said that he would try his best.

The aunt did not make any further requests, but just watched her son leave with reluctance in her eyes.

"Hey, my mom's just worrying for nothing." The young man chuckled and patted his chest to assure, "I'm telling you, I've read a lot of apocalyptic novels, but I just haven't had the chance to put them into practice. Don't worry, big guys, I definitely won't hold you back."

The reason why he called Cheng Hui the big boss was mainly because he saw with his own eyes yesterday that Cheng Hui killed zombies as easily as cutting melons and vegetables. If this is not a big boss, then what is a big boss?

So whenever the boss called for support, he would respond, even if his mother rolled her eyes at him.

The world has changed. In this apocalyptic crisis, the young man obviously feels that holding on to the right people is the best way out.

Originally, he had great ambitions and even thought about building a career in the apocalypse. However, when he saw with his own eyes the tragic scene of two unlucky guys excitedly taking weapons to chop zombies, but being torn to pieces by the zombies, he came to his senses.

Obviously, the gap between fiction and reality dealt him a heavy blow.

The so-called foundation is not so easy to create!
