A short while later, with a scream, the young man staggered to his feet.
The first thing the young man did after standing up was to shake his arms and excitedly say, "I...I feel like I've gotten a lot stronger."
"Is there anything else?" Xu Xing asked from inside the car, with the window open.
The young man then tested his legs and feet.
Swoosh~
In an instant, the young man, who had seemed like a normal person, dashed out like a 100-meter sprinter.
"So fast, so fast!" the young man shouted excitedly.
"A speed-type ability user?" Xu Xing nodded with interest. "As long as it's not one of those trash abilities."
The other ordinary people around, who had not yet awakened, looked at the young man running at high speed with envy in their eyes.
"Don't envy him. As long as you train hard, you all have a great chance of awakening," Xu Xing comforted them.
After a brief moment of excitement, the young man turned around and came to Xu Xing's side, bowing his head slightly in a gesture of submission.
"Alright, get in the car. We have many more battles to fight." Xu Xing said, then closed the car window and started the car again.
The rest of the journey went smoothly. Whenever they encountered small groups of zombies, Xu Xing would order his men to go and eliminate them.
A group of people reaped a huge profit.
Those lone zombies wandering the streets were simply ignored, since the rewards were disproportionate to the costs.
As the vehicle entered the villa area, Xu Xing saw more than once figures wielding knives moving around in the surrounding shops.
Upon closer inspection, many of the figures appeared to be familiar.
Not far from the villa area, in front of a luxury boutique, Xu Xing stopped the car, rolled down the window, and asked, "Zhao Jie, how many of our men are outside right now?"
Zhao Jie was stunned for a moment, then turned around quickly when he heard the voice: "So it's the boss back. There aren't many people who came out this time, only about forty."
"Hmm, not bad, but there's one thing we need to be careful about: it's best not to let ordinary people act alone," Xu Xing reminded him.
The zombies of today are not the same as before; ordinary people can be killed by zombies if they are not careful.
Zhao Jie scratched his head, chuckled twice, and then turned around to gather the ordinary people who were acting alone.
After a short while, the convoy finally entered the villa area, where Ye Kai had been waiting for a long time.
Ye Kai did not choose to lead his men out hunting, but instead stayed safely in his hometown to prevent any petty thieves from coming to ambush him.
This is clearly the right thing to do. In the apocalypse, it's not just zombies that grow rapidly; various superhumans are just as capable.
For example, the former Qiangsheng Group was much stronger overall than the current villa district.
There aren't many forces in the entire Jinghai City with such strength, but a city with a population of tens of millions wouldn't only have one or two such forces.
Without the protection of a level three or higher ability user like Ye Kai, they could be easily defeated one by one if someone else had the chance.
"Come with me to the square. We've had a great haul this time, let's treat the brothers to something nice." Xu Xing parked the car to the side and called to everyone, including Ye Kai, as they headed to the community square.
It wasn't until we were on the way that I remembered to turn on the walkie-talkie and call Zhao Jie over:
"You don't need to personally supervise the battle there. I've already surveyed the area, and there aren't any high-level zombies."
Let those people do what they want. You come back first, let's have a picnic, and we'll invite Zhou Feng and the others too..."
………………
In the sizable square, several tables were set up with drinks and food, and there was a large grill next to it, with skewers of meat sizzling and dripping oil in the hands of the Wang brothers.
"Let me make it clear first, we'll provide plenty of food and drinks, even Moutai, but let me make that clear beforehand."
Ordinary people shouldn't force themselves to finish the food. A significant portion of the pork skewers here are made from mutated beast meat, which contains a huge amount of energy.
"Of course eating it will be beneficial for you, with no harm whatsoever. But if you eat too much, that might not be the case."
Xu Xing smiled and raised his glass, which, unusually, contained a glass of baijiu (Chinese white liquor).
It was the Moutai I had collected before; it was smooth on the palate and went down the throat. Only this kind of liquor could stimulate the most primal dopamine in humans.
It's a pity that every bottle we drink is one less available.
Seeing the leader raise his glass, the others around him stood up and filled their glasses half an inch lower.
Susie also joined in, substituting fruit juice for alcohol.
"Let's do it!"
Don't let Xu Xing's image as a complete "devil" in the eyes of outsiders fool you [ps: for example, those who died in the Qingjing Gang and the Qiangsheng Group].
However, in the eyes of his own family, he was an excellent leader. Apart from being strict, he was flawless and extremely protective of his own, never stingy with his subordinates.
Halfway through the drinking session, even the dogs, under Ye Kai's coaxing, drank several large mouthfuls of baijiu, their eyes glazed over and swaying as they licked Wang Hu's hairy thighs.
Wang Hu was quite serious, hugging the dog's soft, huge head and rubbing his face against it from time to time, chuckling lewdly, no one knew what he was thinking.
Su Xixi, her face flushed, rested quietly on Xu Xing's shoulder, her eyes glazed over, as if glistening with tears.
At first, she kept drinking juice, but she couldn't resist the enthusiasm of her underlings who kept toasting Xu Xing. Afraid that the man would drink too much, she "smallly" took a few drinks for him.
These people with superpowers couldn't possibly be truly drunk, but they weren't faking it either.
In this environment, they neither consciously nor unconsciously release their supernatural abilities, which is why they get drunk. If anything happens, they can immediately release their supernatural abilities to burn off the alcohol in their bodies and regain their senses.
It's just that nobody does it anymore.
Xu Xing was different from them. His physique was strong enough that even without actively controlling his supernatural abilities, the alcohol only made him feel slightly drowsy.
"Hehe, so soft, so big, so white," Wang Lei murmured, then took a bite.
As expected, after biting into a mouthful of dog hair, he instantly sobered up.
"Damn, this is so incredibly embarrassing!"
Wang Lei carefully raised his head. Fortunately, everyone had drunk enough and there were few people around to notice.
Brothers, fine wine, wives, money, power.
Even if an ordinary person has just one of these qualities, they can benefit from it for life. This is the life Xu Xing has always longed for.
Are you satisfied? I am very satisfied, but to maintain this kind of life, the only way is to become stronger.
Unbeknownst to him, Xu Xing felt a slight loosening at the genetic lock within his body.
Life is more than just the present hardships; there are also many more beautiful women and vast "fields" in the distance.
