(Chapter 439 onward: Immortal Emperor breaks through apocalypse in a frozen world)
Li Mu cultivated for tens of thousands of years, finally becoming the number one Immortal Emperor in the Imm...
After the two entered the house, they sat on the soft sofa at Li Mu's invitation. Feeling the warmth in the house, they were a little surprised. This group of people is too extravagant, right? In the end times when supplies are so scarce, they actually turned up the temperature of the heating so high!
"Haha, you two, to be honest, we are actually from other places. What is that fire base you just mentioned?" Li Mu asked harmlessly.
"I see." The man nodded slightly, and then said: "Let's introduce ourselves first. My name is Jiang Bin, she is Chen Rui, and we are both members of the Spark Base Patrol Team."
After a pause, Jiang Bin continued, "As for the Fire Base, it was a human shelter that Wucheng's top leaders organized and built two months ago. Its mission is to preserve the fire of human civilization and rebuild human civilization after the snowstorm ends."
"Sir, you said you came from other places. Haven't you encountered that kind of thing along the way?" Chen Rui asked with some confusion. After all, there are quite a few of that kind of things near Wucheng.
"What is that thing you are talking about?" Li Mu asked puzzledly.
Xu Ling and the other two also looked confused. Apart from Yang Hui from Yangjia Village, they did not find anything unusual along the way.
"You are not talking about mutants, are you?" Xu Ling said with a strange look on his face. Although Yang Hui possesses extraordinary powers, he is no different from a normal person in daily life. How can he be called a "thing"?
"Humans? Can those things still be called humans?" Jiang Bin smiled bitterly.
"Why can't he be called a human being? Although the little fat boy is sometimes out of control, he still made contributions to their village, okay? The snow in their village was moved away by him using his superpowers!" Xu Lingqi said angrily. These two people were too much. Although the little fat boy attacked Li Mu, he was unconscious. According to Yang Hong's description, Yang Hui was no different from an ordinary child.
"Uh... girl, you misunderstood. No, we misunderstood. The mutants you mentioned should be people with special abilities, right? The mutants you mentioned are called super-powered people, just like this." Jiang Bin said as he raised his right hand, and a ball of fire rose in his hand.
"Ah!" Xu Ling covered her mouth in shock, and looked at Li Mu again. Li Mu said that these mutants are the enemies of cultivators and will go crazy when they see cultivators.
Li Mu gave her a look to reassure her. He had long discovered that these two people were also people with special abilities like Yang Hui. The reason why they did not lose their minds and attack Li Mu like Yang Hui did when they saw Li Mu was because Li Mu had restrained his aura in advance. Now in the eyes of these two people, Li Mu was just an ordinary person.
"Since you said that super-powered people are not the "thing" you are talking about, then we don't know." Li Mu said.
The two looked at each other. Li Mu and the others seemed to be unaware of the existence of that thing. Jiang Bin thought about it and said to Li Mu in a serious tone, "Those things are not different from superpowers. They also have abilities beyond ordinary people, but they have no consciousness and only know how to kill. We call them killers. Although these killers are generally not as strong as superpowers, they are more numerous and have very strong vitality. They cannot be killed without destroying their heads!"
"Where did these slaughterers come from? Did they transform from humans?" Li Mu asked.
"It's not entirely humans. Other animals can also become killers. Of course, the same goes for super-powered people. Animals can also become super-powered people after awakening. However, the difference between super-powered people and killers is that super-powered people awaken while the living beings are alive, while killers evolve from the corpses of living beings after the living beings lose their lives. Yes, you heard it right, it's a corpse. Tell me, can we still call it a human?" Chen Rui said with a look of palpitations.
"Aren't those zombies?" Xu Ling and the other two swallowed and muttered.
"Zombies? Haha, they are much scarier than zombies." Chen Rui said bitterly. Before the snowstorm, she had also watched various zombie-themed film and television works. Compared with the Killer, the zombies in those film and television works were like children playing house. There was no comparison in strength at all.
"Everyone, I don't know why you didn't encounter those things on the road, but I advise you to be careful. With the weapons in your hands, you can't deal with the slaughterers. If you don't mind, I can apply for you to join the base. The protection of the base is always better than you surviving alone!" Jiang Bin said to Li Mu and others.
"Haha, maintaining the operation of the base requires a lot of supplies. I'm afraid this quota is not so easy to get?" Li Mu said with a smile.
"Of course, but the operation of the base also requires manpower. If you can bring enough supplies into the base, I believe it will not be difficult to get a place." Jiang Bin looked around the room and said to Li Mu and others meaningfully. Since Li Mu and others could turn on such a warm heating, they must have a lot of supplies.
"What are you dreaming about!" Xu Ling was immediately unhappy. She didn't care about the quota in the base. She wanted to go back to Northern Xinjiang to reunite with her parents. The two people in front of her were obviously thinking about their supplies!
However, Li Mu said, "Okay! It's too late today. Let's go back to the base with you tomorrow."
Xu Ling's eyes widened. Could it be that Li Mu had given up the idea of going to Northern Xinjiang and wanted to settle down here? Just when she was about to say something, she was stopped by Jia Qian.
"Okay, we will come to pick you up tomorrow." Jiang Bin said.
"Draw an address for us, and we can go there ourselves tomorrow." Li Mu took out paper and pen and said.
"This..." Jiang Bin looked embarrassed. Although the task of their patrol team was to clear out the slaughterers that appeared in the surrounding area, it would be a great achievement if they could find supplies to bring back. If Li Mu and his team went there by themselves, what if they were intercepted?
"Why, do you have any concerns?" Li Mu asked.
"Haha, sir, you misunderstood. We have nothing to worry about. But it's so late now. If you don't mind, we will stay here first and take you directly to the base tomorrow." Chen Rui said with a smile.
"Okay." Li Mu nodded and asked Xu Ling and the other two to prepare rooms for them. Although the house was not very big, there were enough rooms.
Li Mu would definitely go to the Spark Base. Whether it was the Super Powers or the Slaughterers, the people in the base knew more than him. Moreover, Li Mu was puzzled. He had not found many of these Super Powers along the way, and had never heard of the Slaughterers. How come Super Powers became so worthless in Wucheng? Moreover, the so-called Slaughterers appeared. If the Super Powers were created by the Heart of the Universe for self-protection, then what were these Slaughterers?
