After Ye Ling forcefully broke open the heavy door, she led Wen Mengxia into the medicine storehouse.
They both smiled when they saw that the room was filled with various medical supplies.
Wen Mengxia was overjoyed: "I was worried we'd go back empty-handed, but I didn't expect to have so many medical supplies. This is wonderful!"
Ye Ling didn't put it into her spatial storage immediately. She noticed that some of the herbs contained the corpses of insects, which must have been frozen to death by the low temperature.
After using her divine sense to get the insects out, she put the herbs and Western medicines into her spatial storage.
Wen Mengxia had learned her lesson and this time she didn't dare to look around with a flashlight. She asked Ye Ling, "Is the morgue you mentioned right next door?"
"Yes, at your ten o'clock position. Quite a few corpses have fallen out."
"Stop talking, stop talking, let's go, I don't want to stay here anymore."
Ye Ling didn't leave immediately. Instead, she said, "There are a lot of corpses of corpse worms in the morgue. Although they froze to death, just to be on the safe side, let's burn this place down."
"Corpse worms? Then you should burn them quickly, and then we'll go outside and burn those corpses too."
*
With a loud "boom," flames suddenly erupted in the morgue.
After Ye Ling and her companions left the hospital building, flames shot up behind them, and parts of the building began to collapse.
Wen Mengxia and Ye Ling stood not far away, looking at the burning building. She asked Ye Ling, "Where to next?"
Ye Ling narrowed her eyes slightly: "Go kill someone."
Wen Mengxia was startled: "Where are you going?"
Ye Ling held her hand with one hand and held an umbrella with the other, saying coldly, "Sister, the battles to come are not for you to participate in."
After saying that, he took her and disappeared from the spot.

The once bustling central area of Nanjing University of Science and Technology is now a wasteland.
Before the temperature drops, strange creatures often appear here because there are many buried corpses, making it one of their foraging spots.
The temperature suddenly dropped sharply tonight, freezing a large number of the strange creatures lurking in the area to death, causing the place to be filled with an aura of death.
Logically speaking, no one should be here in such low temperatures, especially in the early morning. Who would go to the place with the densest deathly aura for no reason?
But then a dark figure appeared here. This dark figure sat cross-legged on the ruins, and a large amount of death energy gathered around him and frantically rushed towards him.
Upon closer inspection, one would notice that he held a miniature black cauldron in his hand, which was currently emitting a green light.
The aura of death and the remnants of souls floating in this area were all drawn towards this place by a suction force. Amidst their terrified screams, those remnants of souls were sucked into the miniature cauldron.
Because it absorbed too many remnant souls, the miniature cauldron began to vibrate slightly.
The shadowy figure suddenly moved. He opened his eyes and looked at the cauldron in front of him, a wicked smile appearing on his lips. He made complex hand gestures, and a beam of light entered the cauldron. The cauldron immediately floated up and then unleashed an extremely cold and terrifying aura that swept across the entire main city.
Wherever it went, it devoured the remaining souls.
The miniature cauldron also began to grow larger at this time, from the size of a fist to the size of a washbasin, and then slowly grew to one meter, two meters, five meters tall, until it became a giant black cauldron ten meters tall before it stopped growing.
When Ye Ling arrived nearby with Wen Mengxia, she saw the huge cauldron in front of her stop growing, and her expression changed slightly.
Wen Mengxia suddenly clutched her head and screamed, "Ahhhhh, Lingling, what is this thing? My soul is being sucked out!"
Ye Ling suddenly snorted coldly, dispelling the suction force, and said to Wen Mengxia, "You can't stay here anymore, go back."
After saying that, he sent Wen Mengxia into the space and summoned You Zimo out of the space at the same time.
You Ziming was startled by the aura of death outside as soon as he stepped out: "What's going on? That's... a cauldron?"
Ye Ling hummed in agreement: "There's a new ghost cultivator here. He's trying to absorb all the remnant souls here. If we don't stop him, the survivors in the base will also die."
"If this cauldron is successfully upgraded, our country, and even the world, will be doomed."
You Ziming was shocked by her words. Was this thing really that terrifying?
Ye Ling looked at You Ziming: "Are you feeling unwell right now?"
You Ziming shook his head slightly: "No, on the contrary, my superpower is retaliating and absorbing it frantically."
Ye Ling was relieved: "Since your soul wasn't pulled apart, use all your strength to absorb the death aura here. You absolutely cannot let it absorb all of it."
Okay. Be careful.
He knew that Ye Ling had summoned him not simply to let him absorb the aura of death. As for what she was going to do, he wouldn't ask any questions or stop her; he would just cooperate with her.
Ye Ling hummed in agreement, then disappeared before his eyes.
The dark figure had already spotted Ye Ling when she appeared. A look of seriousness flashed in his eyes; the other party's aura was very powerful, and she would ruin his plans.
His magical artifact must not be interrupted at the crucial moment of its advancement, otherwise all his efforts will be in vain.
"boom--"
The two made their move almost simultaneously.
With just one collision, the enormous energy they released overturned the surrounding thick snow and rubble.
After a brief exchange, the two retreated ten meters away to sized each other up.
Ye Ling looked at the strange-looking man with a gloomy face, her eyes flashing with cold light, "An outsider dares to act recklessly on our own soil."
The man chuckled and then said, "Fellow Daoist, you and your people also absorb this Yin energy. What, are you allowed to absorb it, but I'm not? Does this world belong to you alone?"
Ye Ling covered the giant cauldron with her divine sense and found that its absorption speed was getting faster and faster, so she knew that this man was stalling for time.
How could she possibly grant his wish? Suddenly, a shimmering white bead appeared before her. "Go."
When the man saw the bead, his eyes showed horror. As he tried to stop it, the white bead suddenly shone brightly, illuminating the entire main city area.
Then the white pearl flashed slightly and collided with the black cauldron.
"bump--"
"Buzz—"
A deafening crash suddenly resounded over Nanjing University of Science and Technology.
Nanjing University of Science and Technology (NUST) base.
At this moment, everyone in the base was awakened and looked up towards the main city.
Many ordinary people were stunned by the impact, and those with weaker constitutions were knocked unconscious.
Zhou Li led everyone to stand at the highest point of the base, looking towards the main urban area. He said solemnly, "So, without our knowledge, we were already in great danger around us."
This commotion is not something an ordinary superhuman would display.
At the same time, Qi Yun, Gong Quan, and the others, who were resting, disappeared from the room almost instantly.
