On the other side, Lin Fan was transforming into a bolt of lightning, flying at high speed through the air. However, the scene along the way made Lin Fan's brows furrow involuntarily.
"How did these zombies become so powerful in such a short time?"
In Lin Fan's perception, even the weakest zombie had reached the level of a C-level ability user, which made Lin Fan sense a sense of crisis.
Moreover, in Lin Fan's eyes, these zombies seemed to have gained intelligence and did not act blindly.
However, the most important thing right now is to return to the Underworld Temple, so Lin Fan did not choose to make a move and quickly disappeared into the sky. When Lin Fan returned to the Underworld Temple, he only saw a pile of ruins.
"Damn it, what on earth happened here?"
Lin Fan thought with a grim expression, but he believed that with Qingfeng and the others' strength, the Underworld Temple could not possibly be completely wiped out. With that in mind, Lin Fan began searching through the ruins, hoping to see if Qingfeng and the others had found any clues for him.
Just when Lin Fan was about to despair, he finally found the clues left by Qingfeng and the others, and flew in the direction indicated by the clues without hesitation.
On the other side, Qingfeng and the others had found a hidden cave, killed all the zombies inside, and settled down there.
Qingfeng also gathered all the people from the Underworld Temple together.
“We didn’t make a sound, but the zombies surrounded the base. I suspect that the zombies have developed intelligence.”
Qingfeng solemnly shared his guess, and after hearing it, Longyuan and the others nodded in agreement.
“That’s right. I only noticed a few zombies approaching us from time to time. I didn’t expect there to be so many.”
"Furthermore, these zombies seem to be acting premeditatedly, as if they knew there were people inside!"
Inside the Temple of the Underworld, a bespectacled man calmly analyzed the situation. He explained that after investigating the zombies they had captured, they discovered that the zombies only acted on their instincts, meaning they only killed and eliminated any living creatures in their path.
"Phew, that's normal. After all, zombies are constantly evolving, so it's not strange that they can develop intelligence. I'm just curious, if they do develop intelligence, would they still be considered human?"
Qingfeng let out a long sigh of relief, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes. Longyuan and the others also lowered their heads to think, but after a moment's thought, they stopped thinking about it.
Because no matter what, zombies will always attack when they see humans, which means they can never coexist peacefully from the start.
The final result can only be either the extinction of humans or the extinction of zombies.
"Let's focus on recovering from our injuries first, since we don't know what might happen next?"
Qingfeng rubbed his head, feeling a bit of a headache. The world was not as good as it used to be after the apocalypse. Before, at least he could sleep peacefully, but now he couldn't even sleep soundly.
As the people of the Underworld Temple began to recover from their injuries, Qingfeng also took out his crystal core to prepare for his attempt to break through to the SSS level. Judging from today's situation, the SS level was still not enough.
If it weren't for his own comprehension of the basic sword intent at the critical moment, all the people of the Underworld Temple would have perished, although they ultimately survived only thanks to Xiao Chen's power.
But this also made Qingfeng's need for power more urgent.
But at that moment, a huge commotion came from outside, which made Qingfeng grab the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword in his hand.
Long Yuan and the others also looked outside warily, fearing that the zombie army had discovered them. After all, only Qingfeng was still in his peak condition, and most of them had lost their ability to fight.
If it were an army of zombies, they would undoubtedly be defeated.
Fortunately, Lin Fan arrived late. While flying in the air, Lin Fan finally saw a relatively obvious cave and then came to the front of the cave.
The cave entrance had been sealed off by Longyuan, and Lin Fan spoke up.
"Qingfeng, is that you?"
Hearing this, Qingfeng and the others felt relieved.
"Lord Temple Master, it's us!"
After saying that, Long Yuan used his elemental power to remove the obstacles in front of the cave entrance, and then Lin Fan walked in.
"What exactly happened to the Temple of the Underworld?"
After seeing Qingfeng and the others, Lin Fan finally felt relieved, but when he looked again, his face darkened, because many familiar faces in the group were no longer there.
They were all Lin Fan's brothers who had shared life and death, and Lin Fan could never forget them. So, he was suddenly filled with anger and blamed himself for not being there for them when the Underworld Temple needed him.
When they heard that they had been beaten to such a state by the zombie horde and monsters, their expressions turned grim. Clearly, they had not expected that the zombies had evolved to such a powerful level.
"Hmph, if I don't avenge this, I, Lin Fan, swear I'm not a man!"
Lin Fan roared angrily, and a powerful aura burst forth from his body. At this moment, he was determined to kill every zombie he saw from now on.
After venting his anger, Lin Fan finally calmed down and turned to look at Long Yuan and the others. Although it was a pity that the dead had died, the living should also learn to look forward.
"You all need to get yourselves into top condition first, then come with me to the black market!"
Since the city is no longer safe, going to the black market with him is the best option, especially since most of the people in the Temple of the Underworld are no longer there.
"Yes, Lord, we will follow you wherever you are."
Long Yuan and the others took a deep breath and spoke earnestly, while Lin Fan looked at Qingfeng again.
"You should be close to breaking through to SSS rank soon, so let's go together. Once we both break through to SSS rank, we'll head to the black market!"
"Um!"
Qingfeng nodded in agreement, and the two of them then took out the crystal cores and began to absorb the power of the laws within them to break through their limits.
The fate of the Underworld Temple has also befallen the other three women, and the situation is far from optimistic.
