Chapter 32 Thunder
The three of them used crystal cores and fruit juice to tirelessly kill the alien species at the entrance.
The sky gradually darkened, fog began to spread, and the temperature began to drop at a rate that could be felt by the human body. The three of them stopped and returned to the car to prepare to go home.
After the end of the world, no one would be willing to fight in the extreme cold of minus ten or twenty degrees Celsius unless it was necessary.
The three of them got into the car, and Qiao Yu took out a down jacket from the space and handed it to the two of them. The temperature dropped very quickly, and the grass that had just been lush green was now covered with white frost.
"Azhan, how many people are still alive in the villa area at the foot of the mountain?" Qiao Yu was wrapped tightly in Jiang Zhan's arms like a dumpling, and could only stretch his head and look up to ask.
Jiang Zhan silently manipulated his supernatural powers and quickly replied, "The West District is a bit far away, I can't sense it. There are at least a hundred people in the East District."
"So many..." Qiao Yu murmured in a low voice.
The East and West Districts were roughly the same size, sharing the same entrance. So, presumably, the number of survivors in the West District was roughly the same. With just over two hundred people, it was no wonder those aliens were desperately trying to squeeze in. There would likely be a swarm of aliens at the main gate again tomorrow morning.
After returning to the villa, Cheng Sinian went to the kitchen to make some food, while Qiao Yu took out the hot water stored in the space for the three of them to take a bath. After a day of sweating and the sudden drop in temperature at night, their clothes were as stiff as boards and sticking to their bodies. A hot bath at this time was truly a relief.
After a satisfying meal and a shower, Qiao Yu snuggled comfortably into bed. The heating had ceased to function after the apocalypse, but Qiao Yu had stockpiled a number of electric heaters, powered by solar panels, and the room remained warm. Living so comfortably in the apocalypse was something Qiao Yu hadn't even imagined in his previous life.
Just as Qiao Yu was sighing, she saw Jiang Zhan coming out of the bathroom naked and covered in moisture. He lifted the quilt and pressed her under him.
Qiao Yu sighed silently in her heart. If Jiang Zhan could let her have a good sleep, she would be even happier.
In the following days, the three continued to eat, sleep and kill alien species every day, and their supernatural powers became more and more advanced.
Because of the comparison with her previous life, Qiao Yu clearly felt that the efficiency of her supernatural power improvement in this life was faster. It was not only because of the blessing of the crystal core and fruit water, but also because of the jade tree.
She didn't know why, but Yushu seemed to be extremely sensitive to the energy within the crystal core. Every time she absorbed a core, she could feel a warmth flowing through her heart, and then she could burst forth with even greater power than before. It was as if the energy within the crystal core was being purified, leaving her with only its essence.
That day, the three of them came to the foot of the mountain as usual to kill alien species and collect crystal cores. But in the afternoon, they faintly heard a burst of angry curses, mixed with the muffled moans of a woman.
The apocalypse had been underway for over a month, and order everywhere was beginning to break down. It wasn't uncommon for some women to sell their bodies for food in order to survive. Qiao Yu had seen this kind of thing many times in her previous life, and it was no longer surprising.
But... Qiao Yu paused. This male voice sounded familiar. I felt like I had heard it somewhere before...
Before I had time to think about it, I heard a woman's sharp roar, followed by a thunder with lightning in the sky, which happened to strike the house where the quarrel took place.
Qiao Yu was stunned. This was definitely not a curse that would bring about a bad person being struck by lightning. Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan exchanged a glance. Seeing that Jiang Zhan looked normal, Qiao Yu realized that he must have known about this all along.
There is actually a thunder-type alien in this villa area.
While Qiao Yu was still stunned, she saw Jiang Zhan's face suddenly darken. He pulled her and Cheng Sinian into the car and drove straight to the house that was struck by lightning.
As soon as the car stopped, Qiao Yu looked at the familiar buildings around her and suddenly remembered: Isn't this the residence of the two girls she rescued last time? Did they have an accident just now?
Qiao Yu was just thinking about it when she saw Jiang Zhan had already gotten out of the car. He was staring at the door of the house with a fierce look in his eyes, and his aura was very dangerous. Qiao Yu hurriedly got out of the car, very confused by his current mood.
Cheng Sinian was also confused. He had never seen Jiang Zhan so hateful towards anything. He could even say that apart from things related to Qiao Yu, he had never seen anything that could cause him such a huge emotional fluctuation. But this clearly had nothing to do with Qiao Yu...
Jiang Zhan stood by the gate, his eyes filled with murderous rage. He would never forget those three faces. The piercing pain and powerlessness he felt in his dream were still fresh in his mind.
"A Zhan...what's wrong with you..." Qiao Yu took a step forward and was about to ask Jiang Zhan what was going on, but suddenly saw three people coming out of the house.
To be precise, there were two men dragging a woman.
"Fuck, that girl can actually make thunder. Shengzi must have been struck to death. Let's go..."
The woman being dragged was the older of the two girls Qiao Yu had seen earlier. She was significantly thinner than the last time he saw her, her clothes ripped open, nearly naked. Her chest bore numerous bruises, and her neck bore two deep purple pinch marks. She was unconscious. From these marks, it was easy to guess what she had been through. However, her lower body clothing was intact, indicating the two men hadn't succeeded.
When Qiao Yu's disdainful gaze finally landed on the profiles of the two men, her expression suddenly changed. Shock, anger, ferocity, hostility... all sorts of expressions shifted across her face, eventually merging into a full-blown murderous intent.
That’s right, these two people were two of the three people who tricked Qiao Yu into unconsciousness and almost defiled her in the previous life.
The two men had not yet realized the danger was coming and were hurriedly dragging the unconscious girl back.
Suddenly, four wind blades flew out of the air and slashed the two men's limbs in turn.
"Ah—" The two men collapsed to the ground, their hands and feet aching. The woman they were dragging was also thrown to the ground.
"You...you are the three people who killed the monster..." The two men finally saw Qiao Yu and the other two standing behind them. Seeing their unfriendly expressions, they immediately began to beg for mercy, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Brother and sister, we didn't know these were your friends. We didn't mean to offend you! Please forgive us, we won't dare to do it again..." As he spoke, he actually began to kowtow.
Jiang Zhan did not answer. A breeze blew in the air, and four more wind blades shot out, directly cutting off the hands and feet of the two men.
"Ah—" the two men howled in agony, blood gushing out and flowing all over the floor. Suddenly, a strong, fishy smell filled the air, and the two men were so frightened that they lost control of their bladders.
"You cowardly bastards." Qiao Yu cursed in a low voice, and with a slight movement of his fingertips, two ice blades pierced into the lower bodies of the two men, causing them to wail in even greater pain.
Jiang Zhan used his mental power to stimulate the two men so that they would not faint from the pain, while controlling the wind blade to cut their flesh one by one.
The fine knife cuts were so deep that the bones were visible. In just a few minutes, the two men were cut into bloody corpses. They collapsed to the ground, dying, and could not make a sound.
"There is another one." Jiang Zhan no longer cared whether they were dead or not. He put away the wind blade and mental power, stepped directly into the house, and searched for the last man.
