Lin An became increasingly excited as he spoke, "Our bond is invincible, capable of shattering any enemy; one of us can annihilate all foes under heaven."
"Damn it, unleash your inner power!"
Fueled by his emotions, Lin An's fighting prowess skyrocketed! "I have a sword!"
A giant sword phantom truly appeared in Lin An's hand, its blade chilling fourteen provinces.
The sword light slashed out, and the temperature plummeted. Although it wasn't as exaggerated as the frost freezing over fourteen provinces, a large number of aliens in front of it were instantly frozen.
Seeing such an outrageous scene, Lin Yu and Gu Lingchuan were both stunned, let alone others.
Under the influence of emotions, the negative state quickly disappeared, and streams of energy surged from nowhere, making them feel stronger and stronger, even able to go toe-to-toe with some weaker aliens.
"Lin An's abilities are perfectly suited for leading people; he's simply a born commander."
About thirty people rushed out without a single one dying. As soon as they broke through the encirclement, Lin An fainted.
It's really exhilarating and incredibly exciting, but the energy expenditure is ridiculously high.
Gu Lingchuan held him back. He was in surprisingly good condition. Although he no longer had Lin An's support, he had replenished a lot of the physical and mental energy he had previously consumed.
Meanwhile, Gu Lingxiao and the alien also had their battle decided, and as expected, Gu Lingxiao blew out the alien's heart.
If it were the Alien Gu Lingxiao at his peak, he would be no match for him and would have no choice but to run away. However, after being bombed by the military's nuclear weapons, his strength has been reduced by eight or nine tenths.
The main reason is that the alien didn't expect someone to be so strong in such a short time. It had devoured a lot of polluted power and powerful evolved creatures.
But Gu Lingxiao is also devouring and plundering; it's not the only one among the outcasts.
With thousands upon thousands of aliens at this point, Gu Lingxiao simply didn't have the energy to continue dealing with them. If they were zombies or evolved creatures, he could absorb and recover while fighting, but the aliens were releasing polluting power from their crystals, which he couldn't use to recover at all.
If he still has some strength left, and he really fights until he's exhausted, then he won't be far from death.
To Gu Lingxiao's surprise, something in the heart area of the alien after it died kept attracting his attention. After searching through the broken heart, a two-layered bead appeared in Gu Lingxiao's hand.
Gu Lingxiao felt an urge to eat it, but unsure of its quality, he decided to have Gu Lingchuan identify it first.
At this time, Gu Lingxiao is finding it difficult to maintain a balance of yin and yang. Of course, this is a name that Gu Lingxiao himself gave himself.
His ink painting style just now wasn't meant to show off, but rather it was the result of the interplay of light and shadow. If it were to be elevated further, it's highly likely that those who evolve in the direction of Qi could transform into their own elemental immunity to physical damage.
Just like Gu Lingxiao can transform into light or dark elements, and be all-pervasive, this is the most terrifying aspect of those who evolve in the direction of Qi.
By then, even humanity's most powerful weapons will be powerless against evolved beings. This will be an era of individual strength, where the rules are set by the strong.
After exiting the Yin-Yang balance state, Gu Lingxiao had the spare energy to use teleportation. He flashed away from the alien's encirclement in a few moments, and used the remaining energy to fully activate rapid regeneration, making his injuries look less terrifying.
He was just swatted away like a fly, leaving his internal organs still shattered. Before the apocalypse, it would have been a miracle to survive such an injury, but now Gu Lingxiao can still move normally.
Gu Lingxiao quickly found Gu Lingchuan and the others. Without the control of the giant alien, the aliens that were attacking their targets actually began to kill each other, devouring each other and rapidly becoming stronger. Without super energy to counteract it, the power of pollution would not disappear.
When an alien dies, it is stored in a contaminated crystal. Fortunately, Gu Lingxiao took away the crystal of the giant alien, otherwise another alien would have risen.
"How are you? Are you hurt?" Gu Lingchuan asked as he stepped forward.
Nothing happened.
"The aliens over there have started killing each other, and they're growing stronger by devouring each other very quickly. They might create a second giant alien-like creature." Lin Yu had been observing Gu Lingxiao's side and didn't come back even after Gu Lingxiao left.
"Do you have any more crystals?" Gu Lingxiao asked.
"We still have some at the survivor base; we've used up all the ones we had on us."
“I brought it,” Lin An said, raising a hand. He had just woken up.
"Then why didn't you use it just now, and instead let yourself fall into a coma?" Lin Yu asked.
"Uh, I was too excited and forgot," Lin An replied somewhat awkwardly.
Lin was speechless.
Gu Lingxiao took the bulging backpack, which contained at least tens of thousands of items.
"The first layer contains super-powered crystals of evolved creatures, the second layer contains high-level zombie crystals, and the innermost layer contains ordinary zombie crystals," Lin An said.
"Brother Xiao, are you going to unleash your ultimate attack again? That's so cool!"
“It’s too physically and mentally taxing; these minor roles are unnecessary,” Gu Lingxiao replied.
Lin An felt a little regretful that he couldn't see Shui Mo Xiao Ge again.
Gu Lingxiao only took the zombie crystals, leaving the other super energy crystals for them, as absorbing them would be much faster than absorbing the zombie crystals.
We can't just empty our pockets for some minor roles.
Gu Lingxiao didn't go directly. Instead, he let them fight and devour each other for a while before dealing with the strongest ones.
"Lin Yu, what's the state of the survivor base left behind after the military withdrew?"
The black eagle circling in the sky changed direction, and Lin Yu's eyes dimmed for a moment.
"Many buildings were destroyed, but the basic framework is still intact. Many missile launch pads were damaged, but the launch towers carrying nuclear warheads are still standing."
"We can't ascertain the specifics of the situation at the moment."
“Once Lingxiao has dealt with the aliens, we can use this place as a base to expand our survivor base,” Gu Lingchuan said with a smile. “This location is excellent, and there are many technological weapons here.”
Although this was a risky venture, the rewards were enormous; his previous plan to establish his own power base could now be realized.
"Let Bai Ling come back."
"Bai Ling must have sensed that there's no danger anymore, and she's rushing back now. I've told her my location," Lin Yu said.
"There are also some people who are still alive but being chased by aliens. Should we rescue them to increase the population?"
"Once Ling Xiao recovers, he and I will deal with the aliens. You all go and rescue those who are surrounded. Rescue as many people as possible while ensuring your own safety."
"I can go by myself. If there are more people, you'll have to take care of them, which is troublesome," Gu Lingxiao said while absorbing the zombie crystals.
Gu Lingchuan thought for a moment, then said, "Be careful on your own."
"Let's go," Gu Lingchuan said, leading several evolved individuals away.
They left behind the eagle eyes in Zheng Guohao's team just in case.
The rest of the soldiers went but didn't do much, so they stayed where they were.
