Chapter 110 Apocalyptic Fall, Zombie Siege 21

In the very center of the black and gray area, a white crystal core mixed with gray mist lay quietly in place, looking quite inconspicuous. This was the crystal core of the seventh-tier wolf king from before.

As expected, it was two different abilities, and two different colors. The colors were somewhat mixed, which Luo Shu disliked. If her injuries had been inflicted on a human, she would have died long ago, but for a zombie, it was merely a matter of being unable to move.

Luo Shu sat down on a clean rock, grasped the crystal core, and began to absorb the energy inside. Her broken bones were repaired one by one with the infusion of energy. As the energy flowed, the crystal core in Luo Shu's mind grew larger and its color became brighter.

Zhao Qingshu and the other two mutated plants and animals stood beside Luo Shu to protect her, in case anything launched a sneak attack while Wang absorbed the crystal core.

After Luo Shu absorbed the crystal core, the damage she suffered in the battle with the Wolf King was repaired, and she reached the peak of the eighth rank. She believed she would soon be able to enter the ninth rank.

It has only been a year and a half since the apocalypse began, and an eighth-tier zombie king has already appeared. If humans knew this news, it would surely cause great panic.

After Luo Shu finished absorbing the crystal cores, it was Zhao Qingshu's turn, along with the other three. They had just obtained quite a few crystal cores. These wolves ranged from fifth to fourth rank, and the scorpion and dodder had also suffered many injuries. Seeing their king regain his previous strength, even surpassing it, they were secretly delighted, thinking that they had made the right bet this time.

While releasing her eighth-level high-grade pressure, Luo Shu took a third-level crystal core and fed it to the rose entwined in her hand. The rosebud slowly bloomed, then hugged the crystal core and devoured it in a moment. The flower became more and more beautiful, and the leaves became even greener.

After Zhao Qingshu and the scorpion-dodder finished absorbing the crystal core, Zhao Qingshu entered the intermediate seventh rank, and the scorpion-dodder also reached the sixth rank. This made Luo Shu very satisfied. She couldn't let her little brother's level hold her back! She felt that her decision to hunt all over the country after leaving Shenzhen was absolutely correct.

After everyone had settled in, Zhao Qingshu took out another set of clothes and asked Luo Shu to change in the car. It was a simple, modified cheongsam in the style of the Republic of China, which highlighted the woman's graceful figure. The fresh blue color was elegant and refined, and there was a matching ribbon. Zhao Qingshu then tied Luo Shu's hair into a loose braid and added the ribbon. She looked pure, beautiful, and otherworldly.

Especially her eyes, with their seemingly innocent and inorganic gaze, both cruel and pure, made her perfectly suited to wear this cheongsam.

Then Zhao Qingshu changed into his usual white shirt and black trousers, and took out a bucket of purified water to rinse the scorpion and vines, making the two of them suffer in silence. If Zhao Qingshu hadn't been of a higher level than them and had Luo Shu as their backer, they would have crushed him long ago.

A tall, handsome man followed beside her, while a stunningly beautiful young woman sat atop a crystal mount, a beautiful rose blooming in her hair, her beauty dreamlike and ethereal.

When Zhang Xiaya and his group arrived, this was the scene they saw. The young men were immediately captivated, their eyes sparkling with hearts. This beautiful girl was the very one they had been longing for day and night!

Zhang Xiaya waved his arms at Luo Shu and Zhao Qingshu, shouting, "You two, we've come looking for you! Didn't you encounter any mutated beasts?"

Seeing that they hadn't returned for a long time, and also because he seemed to have heard wolf howls, Zhang Xiaya was still uneasy. So he led some people out to look for them. Following the wheel tracks they left behind, they found this place. Seeing that this was their destination, Zhang Xiaya's expression changed slightly.

Wolf packs roamed this place even before the apocalypse, and it became a forbidden area after the apocalypse, with no one daring to set foot there. These two had entered this heartland, and their chances of survival were slim. Just as they were filled with sorrow, they saw two people emerge from the depths of the grassland, and for a moment, they were so happy that they danced with joy.

As darkness fell, the group didn't have time to talk. They got into the car and drove straight to their base, planning to chat once they reached a safe place.

Two cars, one in front of the other, drove out of the area. Long after their cars disappeared, pairs of red eyes appeared on the snow-capped mountain, devouring the wolf carcasses on the ground. The snow-capped mountain returned to its usual silence.

When they arrived at the yurt where they had stayed in the afternoon, Zhang Xiaya had already prepared food and placed it on the table: fine beef jerky and steaming hot milk tea. The aroma of the milk tea was rich and filled the entire yurt.

"Did you two encounter any danger this afternoon?"

Seeing that Zhao Qingshu and Luo Shu had changed their clothes, Zhang Xi'a Ya guessed that clothes only needed to be changed if they got dirty. How could they have gotten dirty? Of course, it was because they had encountered mutated plants or animals or zombies.

Luo Shu nodded, while Zhao Qingshu said, "We encountered a wolf, and it took us a while to kill it. It dirtied Miss's clothes, so we changed into new ones."

Zhang Xiaya fell silent. Zhao Qingshu's words were far too casual. A wolf, how big of a wolf, to kill it so easily? How strong was Zhao Qingshu?

As for Luo Shu, judging from her gentle appearance, no one would associate her with the word "apocalypse".

After a moment of silence, Zhang Xi'a said he had to go on duty and told them to rest first before leaving.

After leaving, Zhang Xiaya sent two superhumans back to the tribe to deliver a message, saying that a superhuman had arrived and was very powerful, and asked them to see how to deal with it.

Zhang Xiaya knew he wasn't smart enough, but his nomadic tribe had wise sages, and he only needed to follow their guidance.

The next morning, as dawn broke, Luo Shu and Zhao Qingshu prepared to leave. The people Zhang Xiaya had sent were probably still on their way back. Zhang Xiaya had intended to ask the two to stay a few more days, but when he saw Luo Shu's dark eyes, he was momentarily stunned. Instead of trying to persuade them to stay, he politely saw them off off the grassland and gave them a compass as a parting gift.

Only after watching the two figures disappear did Zhang Xiaya return to the outpost. The two who went to deliver the message had already returned. The headquarters' intention was to treat them well, remain still, and probe their purpose.

Another group went to Wolf Valley, the place where Luo Shu and Zhao Qingshu disappeared yesterday. This group said that there were no wolves left in Wolf Valley, only a few injured ones; the rest had run away.

Under what circumstances would a wolf abandon its den and seek another place? That is when the wolf king dies.

They had never dealt with the wolf king Zhang Xi and A Ya, but judging from the occasional fourth-tier giant wolves that ran out from under its command, the wolf king must have been a fifth-tier or even sixth-tier mutated animal. Yet it was killed by that man, by one person.

Zhang Xiaya was only relieved at this moment. Fortunately, they had not offended these two and had always treated them with courtesy and hospitality. Otherwise, wiping them out would have been a matter of minutes.

While their thoughts were in turmoil and the future remained uncertain, Luo Shu and her group finally had a stroke of luck, encountering a convoy heading to the Ping An Base. They decided to follow behind, since there was readily available navigation available.

The group headed towards the Peace Base.
