"There are many benefits, such as being able to rely on zombies to fight off monsters."
"Don't be fooled by the slow movement of zombies; their sheer numbers are enough to deter most magical beasts from venturing deep into their territory alone."
"If you're not careful, you'll be devoured by zombies until there's nothing left."
"So, this is a natural barrier. As long as these zombies exist, it will be difficult for magical beasts to launch a sneak attack on the Tai'an settlement."
After hearing Gong Yuehan's explanation, Lu Yuan finally understood.
"I see. So there's no other way?"
Gong Yuehan nodded and then shook her head before explaining.
"Yes, there are definitely some, but the apocalypse has only lasted a year, and the profession of Spirit Master has only existed for about half a year."
"In short, humanity is still at a disadvantage. If we take other routes, not only will the distance be far, but we may also encounter unknown monsters."
"Therefore, humanity can only develop slowly, and only after it becomes powerful can it gradually reclaim lost territory."
"It's getting dark now, let's find a place to spend the night and continue our journey early tomorrow morning."
“Traveling at night would be suicide. We’ll go straight into the county town and then find a place to stay for the night on the outskirts.”
Lu Yuan naturally had no objections, since he was not familiar with the place.
Gong Yuehan had been traveling around this area for a long time, so listening to her was never a bad idea.
So the four of them abandoned the car and headed towards Ping'an County, unaware that danger was lurking nearby.
Because there was a nasty old man watching them with malicious eyes not far away.
This person was none other than Ye Shengnian from the Maple Leaf team and that silly woman, Cai Zhiying.
"Brother Nian, do we really have to do this?"
Cai Zhiying was still somewhat reluctant, after all, Gong Yuehan and Yu Huanshui were her comrades-in-arms.
Ye Shengnian glanced at Cai Zhiying with a disdainful look, his eyes darting around. He was about to start coaxing this silly girl.
“Little Yingying, this is the apocalypse. If you are soft-hearted, you won’t live long.”
"Once I become the captain, I will definitely be stronger than Gong Yuehan. Then I will make you my woman."
"Think about it, you know my abilities, they are definitely superior to Gong Yuehan's, but did you see that she gave me attitude for the sake of two unrelated people?"
"Following a captain like this, we'll be dragged down and killed sooner or later!"
Ye Shengnian continued to deceive him in this way.
Cai Zhiying was initially hesitant, but after hearing Ye Shengnian's words, "My little darling Yingying," she no longer cared about anything.
Isn't there a line like this in "A Chinese Odyssey"?
"I'm willing to ruin my appearance for love!"
Cai Zhiying is pretty much like that now; for love, she's willing to commit murder and arson.
Little did he know that he had been completely used by Ye Shengnian.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, Brother Nian!"
"I'll do whatever you say!"
Ye Shengnian smiled.
Ye Shengnian was a professional at seducing women, having tricked countless naive female college students into sleeping with him.
Before the apocalypse, Ye Shengnian wouldn't have needed to put in any effort to deal with a woman like Cai Zhiying.
On the second floor of a building, Gong Yuehan and Yu Huanshui were spraying a pungent chemical agent.
This potion can last for three or four hours, and zombies hate the smell.
Therefore, people who stay overnight when traveling usually bring some of these things with them.
After that, they started distributing the dry rations.
"Okay, everyone, please try to speak quietly, and please don't make any light out."
"Let's all eat something first, and we'll take turns keeping watch tonight."
Lu Yuan didn't have much of an appetite, so he handed the dry food to Zhao Qiang, because Zhao Qiang was a foodie.
"Yuehan, you two girls should rest. Qiangzi and I will keep watch."
"Qiangzi, after dinner, you keep watch for the first half of the night, and I'll keep watch for the second half."
"Remember, don't be lazy and go to sleep!"
Zhao Qiang's mouth was full of food, so he could only nod.
After finishing his meal, Zhao Qiang started making some startling remarks again.
"Hey, Brother Yuan, my testicles are cracked!"
Upon hearing this, Gong Yuehan and Yu Huanshui blushed.
Yu Huanshui, in particular, glanced at a certain part of Zhao Qiang's body.
"Speak properly!"
Lu Yuan kicked Zhao Qiang directly. He had already experienced this once, so he knew that the egg Zhao Qiang was talking about was not the same as the egg he was referring to.
"Hehe, what I mean is, my pet egg has hatched."
So that's what it meant. The two women finally understood what "the egg broke" meant.
Lu Yuan's face lit up with joy, and he quickly asked Zhao Qiang to summon the pet to take a look.
Zhao Qiang was also very excited and eager to see what was happening. He quickly stood up and waved his hand!
"My divine beast, Azure Thunder Dragon, come forth!"
However, an embarrassing thing happened: Zhao Qiang did summon the Azure Thunder Dragon, but it didn't look like a dragon at all.
Instead, it resembles an eel, or rather, a juvenile water snake.
"Um, let me ask you something!"
"Is this the divine beast Azure Thunder Dragon you mentioned?"
Yu Huanshui laughed so hard that tears almost streamed down his face.
Gong Yuehan wasn't much better off, and even Lu Yuan's lips were twitching.
Zhao Qiang was clearly a little embarrassed, but he was not convinced and had to refute this.
"Yu Huanshui, don't be fooled by its small size; it's only because it has just hatched."
"Let me tell you, this is a Azure Thunder Flood Dragon, it's a dragon's... what's that again?"
"I remember now, it's a branch of the dragon!"
In Zhao Qiang's eyes, anything related to dragons must be incredibly powerful.
However, the Azure Thunder Dragon is indeed very powerful, after all, its potential is S, it's just that it's still very weak right now.
For example, when tigers are first born, they are just like kittens and have no killing power.
But once it grows up, it becomes the king of the jungle.
"Zhao Qiang, but to me it looks like a water snake!"
Yu Huanshui still didn't quite believe it.
Lu Yuan stroked his chin, then took out a soul crystal and threw it directly in front of the Azure Thunder Dragon.
The latter stuck out its tongue and licked it, then crunched the soul crystal with a "crunch" and swallowed it in a few bites.
As if by magic, his body began to grow larger, and in the blink of an eye, it was as thick as a child's arm.
Believe it or not, how did it manage to crush such a hard soul crystal?
Zhao Qiang was overjoyed.
"See that? Aren't you guys awesome?"
"Water snake?"
"Never seen anything like it before. Hey, Brother Yuan, give you a few more pieces, Azure Thunder Dragon..."
"Holy crap!"
Zhao Qiang started swearing before he could even finish speaking.
It turned out that Bai Ling had just tried to snatch the soul crystal from the ground, but Lu Yuan stopped her.
Then Bai Ling snatched away Lu Yuan's remaining three soul crystals, and at that moment Bai Ling was gnawing on the soul crystals.
Lu Yuan noticed Zhao Qiang's anxious look and could only offer words of comfort.
"Don't rush, you can't get fat in one bite."
"Don't worry, we'll have an endless supply of soul crystals in the future!"
