"have no idea."
Huang Xue shook her head: "Even if we knew, we couldn't stop it. My idea is that we should unite and fight together against the bigger crisis that is about to come."
"Do you know what kind of crisis it is? What if it's another apocalyptic virus? How do we fight it?"
Yang Shen remained unmoved. He didn't really trust Huang Xue; he felt she was very scheming.
Of course, he didn't think scheming women were bad. In this apocalypse, naive and innocent women are probably all dead. He just didn't want to be used without even knowing it.
"It's always good to be prepared; it's better than being caught off guard," Huang Xue said.
"We'll see when the time comes."
Yang Shen turned to look outside the city; the battle was nearing its end.
Because of the intervention of Tan Yan, a level seven superhuman, who directly controlled the earth and created stone walls, trenches, and other traps, he easily slaughtered tens of thousands of low-level infected.
At this point, many of the infected who had not yet died suddenly turned against each other and began killing one another.
As you can see, a human is moving through the infected horde, and wherever he goes, the infected automatically part to make way for him.
Furthermore, the infected in front of the human would actively attack other infected, attacking and biting recklessly to carve a bloody path for her.
Although they were far apart, Yang Shen could see clearly that the human was Li Yue, a level six ability user.
"Awooo..."
Suddenly, a roar different from the previous ones came, and the infected tide immediately stirred, followed by a tendency to retreat.
However, Li Yue had already taken the initiative. Under her powerful mental control, the level six infected person, although he resisted and did not commit suicide, completely lost his fighting ability and was torn apart by the other infected people controlled by Li Yue.
"You have a capable assistant."
Seeing Li Yue easily kill the level six infected, Yang Shen turned to Huang Xue without turning his head and said...
"You flatter me. I'll be happy as long as she doesn't cause me any trouble."
Huang Xue did not take credit for it. At this time, she did not want to stand up for Li Yue and affect her cooperation with Yang Shen, because she could see that Yang Shen did not like Li Yue.
Although Li Yue was her subordinate, in the face of the impending unknown danger, the role of a level six ability user was far less powerful than that of a level seven ability user.
Outside the city, with the leader of the Level 6 infected killed, the other lower-level infected lost their leader and immediately fell into chaos.
Many superhumans on the city wall rushed out of the city to kill the infected.
With the combined efforts of many superhumans, the infection wave was quickly defeated.
Before long, Li Yue arrived at the city wall and respectfully handed a level six infection crystal core to Yang Shen, saying sincerely, "Please forgive Li Yue's disrespect, Lord Yang Shen."
Yang Shen glanced at Li Yue expressionlessly, then accepted the infected crystal core.
Seeing this, Li Yue finally felt relieved, knowing that she had overcome this hurdle.
Even before the apocalypse, she was able to become a movie queen by virtue of her strong self-control, and after the apocalypse, she relied on this ability to get along with everyone.
She knows when to do what and will never let her emotions override her reason.
Huang Xue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Yang Shen accept the Level 6 Infection Crystal Core. Although she didn't care much about Li Yue's life or death, it was still good to be able to keep a Level 6 ability user, especially since Li Yue's ability was very useful.
At this moment, Yan Kuan also saw Yang Shen on the city wall in the distance. His heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said to Tan Yan beside him, "Sir, when Yang Shen entered the safe zone last night, I collected a small amount of tax from him without his knowledge."
Tan Yan was immediately surprised. This Yan Kuan was quite bold. He asked, "Did you know his strength at the time?"
"At the time, I only thought he was a level six ability user, and the more than one hundred people he brought were almost all ordinary people. I didn't think he would fight us for a little tax, because even if he won, his people would suffer heavy losses," Tan Yan said cautiously.
Tan Yan laughed and said, "You have a good eye and you know how to read situations. But try not to take advantage of these small things in the future. Not everyone will protect you like I do."
Yan Kuan was overjoyed: "Thank you, sir. I will serve you faithfully and will go through fire and water for you."
"No need for that. You should focus on improving your strength first."
Tan Yan waved his hand dismissively. A mere level three ability user was of little help to him.
As he spoke, Tan Yan looked at Yang Shen in the distance, feeling smug and thinking that Yang Shen must have been shocked by his superpower.
His special ability allows him to control the earth; when it truly erupts, it can alter the terrain, and its power is terrifying.
He was confident that even if he fought Yang Shen, he would definitely win.
Of course, Tan Yan was not a bloodthirsty or warlike person. He could live a good life without much effort, so only a fool would deliberately cause trouble for himself.
After Yang Shen left, Tan Yan approached Huang Xue. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw Li Yue beside him and froze for several seconds: "You're Li Yue, my little beauty?"
He almost didn't recognize her, because Li Yue's face was sunken and she had lost several teeth. She was completely different from her previous angelic beauty.
"Greetings, Lord Tan Yan." Li Yue showed no trace of the shyness or timidity often associated with women, and she was confident that with her own recovery abilities, she would regain her appearance sooner or later.
"Who's so wicked as to beat you up like this?" Tan Yan asked, frowning.
"Thank you for your concern, Lord Tan Yan. I unintentionally disrespected Lord Yang Shen before, and this is the punishment I deserve. However, Lord Yang Shen has already forgiven me." Li Yue looked grateful.
Tan Yan's disgust for Yang Shen intensified immediately: "You were beaten up like this just for an unintentional act of disrespect? That guy is so arrogant!"
Huang Xue, who was standing next to her, couldn't stand it anymore. She sneered inwardly, "Truly worthy of being a movie queen."
"An unknown crisis is about to emerge in the next two days. Don't forget our promise." After saying this, Huang Xue left with Li Yue.
...
"How strong is that Yang Shen?"
On the way back, Huang Xue asked Li Yue.
"His mental strength is extremely stable, almost unshakeable!"
Li Yue answered truthfully: "At that time, I was mainly targeting his spirit, but he seemed completely unaware that I was attacking his spirit."
Speaking of this, Li Yue is still shocked and frustrated.
This feeling is like taking a knife and going to cut someone, while the person being cut is completely bewildered and asks what she's doing.
It wasn't even a tickle; the person being slashed felt nothing at all.
It's hard to imagine how stable Yang Shen's mind must be to remain completely unaffected by her mental attack.
...
When Yang Shen returned to the villa, Gao Shou had just called someone to fix the door.
After dismissing Gao Shou, Yang Shen returned to his room on the second floor. Looking at Elaine lying on the bed, he suddenly had a thought: "It seems that Li Yue could control Elaine's body to make expressions and other behaviors. Could I also use my mental power to control Elaine's body and thus actively help her improve her strength?"
