《I Become A Storeowner At Apocalypse Following My Transmigration》


 Chapter 1

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    At night in C City.


    The sky was cloudless, the full moon was bright, and the stars were shining in the sky.


    If this was before, many people would have admired this rare night view of the city. However, now, the entire world was filled with panic.


    This was a different time and space. It was originally a plane that was very similar to Earth, but three years ago, everything in the past had turned into nothing¡ªthe apocalypse had arrived.


    The crimson moon hung in the sky, serving as backdrop for the blood-colored meteorites, terrifying radiation, a global fever, and a strange virus.


    Forty percent of the humans died, and thirty percent turned into zombies. Only five percent of the remaining humans had awakened their superpowers to fight against zombies.


    In a year, humans barely adapted to the new environment. In the following period of time, various bases appeared on the continent. The bases had now become a shelter for humans in the apocalypse.


    The once prosperous city had long been reduced to an empty city, a shell of what it once was.


    C City was also one of these empty cities. Other than the zombies wandering aimlessly in the city, there were only a few teams that came to search for supplies from time to time.


    However, for some reason, more people had come recently. The various factions were surging, as if it was the calm before the storm.


    The city had long lost its energy supply. The street lamps had not been on for a long time. The long-empty road was only vaguely visible under the moonlight.


    Other than the wrecked cars on the road, there were only swaying trees and a few zombies passing by from time to time.


    On the sidewalk, the air was fluctuating violently, and the light was distorted. If those enhanced humans were here, they would discover that a passageway had appeared in the space flow here.


    A woman in sportswear appeared on the road out of thin air with a big orange cat in her arms.


    The aura and movement of the living made the surrounding zombies a little restless.


    ¡°Meow, what is this smell! Ugh¡ª¡± The big orange cat in Yun You¡¯s arms sniffed the air and lay on her arm, rolling its eyes and retching.


    ¡°Haha, this might be the unique smell of the apocalypse.¡± Yun You couldn¡¯t help but laugh when she saw Big Orange¡¯s appearance.


    ¡°Hachi¡ª¡± The surrounding zombies kept gathering.


    ¡°Meow!!!¡±


    Big Orange looked at the zombies surrounding them and its fur stood on end.


    Meow, this feeling of being seen as food was really indescribable.


    The furry cat waved its paw in the air. On the side of the road a few steps away from Yun You, a two-story building quietly appeared on an empty belt.


    The moment the building appeared, the aura changed within a hundred meters of the building. The zombies that pounced on Yun You and the others seemed to be intimidated and fled in all directions.


    ¡°Meow, Yun You, take a look at it yourself first. I¡¯m so sleepy, ha~¡±


    Summoning consumed too much of its energy. It couldn¡¯t take it anymore and had to sleep. After humming, it curled up in Yun You¡¯s arms and let out a gentle snore.


    The big orange cat was not a real big orange cat. Strictly speaking, it was the mascot of the organization. This mission was to protect newbies who were on their first mission. After all, being outside during the apocalypse was still dangerous.


    On the surface, that was the case. In fact, Big Orange was bored with the organization and wanted to come out for a walk.


    Because this was another plane, Big Orange did not have enough energy, but fortunately, it had enough to take out the shop.


    ¡°Thanks, Big Orange.¡±


    Yun You gently stroked Big Orange¡¯s fur and watched the surrounding zombies leave. She could not help but heave a sigh of relief.


    After all at this time, there were not many powerful weapons distributed and they were only sufficient for one-time use. There were no other ways to obtain better weapons now, so it was best to use them sparingly.


    She was originally a university student. A year ago, she got into a car accident while trying to save two children and was sent to the emergency room.


    In the emergency room, when she was on the verge of death, a system that claimed to be from a mysterious organization on Earth appeared and made a deal with her. It could pull Yun You back from the brink of death. Yun You had to agree to save this apocalyptic plane after recuperating for a year. It even said that she would be a plane repairer. If she failed, Yun You would lose her life again.


    At that time, Yun You could only agree. Fortunately, the mission she found out later was not that kind of strange mission. Otherwise, she would have to fight to the death.


    This shop that Big Orange had summoned was to help Yun You successfully complete her mission in the apocalypse.


    Yun You still didn¡¯t understand why such a dangerous and important mission to save the apocalypse would fall on a weak woman like her.


    If Big Orange was awake at this moment, it would definitely refute her and get her to ask her school. Who didn¡¯t know that this beauty who had challenged the school for her best friend?


    A gust of wind blew past, and Yun You couldn¡¯t help but shiver. She stopped thinking.


    She should go in and see what the shop was like first!


    Yun You carried the sleeping Big Orange and walked towards a building not far ahead.


    The exterior of the building was light gray. It was a shophouse. The wall in front of the shop was transparent glass on the upper half, and the lower half was white with blue stripes.


    At the entrance was a glass door. On the glass door was the shop¡¯s plaque. It was in the shape of a cloud. On the top left was a yawning orange cat, and on the bottom right were three wavy patterns.


    There were blue words on a white background. On the plaque was written¡ªWhite Clouds.


    Yun You reached out to push the door open. Just as she touched the glass, a blue system interface appeared in front of her.


    [Congratulations to member Yun You for successfully awakening the Earth-branded apocalyptic shop.]


    Beginner Mission: Treat a Guest


    First Quest: Save Han Qichuan


    Note: Detected that the member has yet to complete the initial mission. Please complete it as soon as possible. If you don¡¯t complete this mission, the member will not be able to use the second level items and certain functions.]


    ¡°¡­¡± She had just arrived at the apocalypse and didn¡¯t know what the shop was selling.


    Moreover, Earth had only provided some information previously. She did not know where Han Qichuan was at all!


    After entering, she saw a hall. The tables and chairs in the hall were similar to a cafe. Could it be that she was going to sell coffee or other drinks?


    After Yun You entered the shop, she looked around. This was the first time she had seen this shop.


    The light yellow light in the hall shone on the beige wall and the light wooden wall decorations and floor. On the left of the hall was the front desk, and on the right was a glass wall. Behind the wall were empty shelves for goods. It seemed that she could open a supermarket in the future.


    Looking around, Yun You planned to go upstairs and take a look. Although she could not use the items on the second floor now, she could still take a look!


    [Beep. The shop owner, Yun You, has not completed the initial mission and is unable to enter the second level.]


    ¡°¡­¡±


    There were no bedrooms on the first floor and she could not go up to the second floor. It seemed that she would be sleeping in the hall on the first floor tonight.


    Yun You pulled out the system interface and opened the storage space that came with the system. There were many supplies she had brought from Earth. Most of them were food and a small amount of daily necessities.


    She took out a small blanket and wrapped the cat in her arms. She walked to the table by the window and carefully placed Big Orange on the table as she sat on the other side while looking at the sky through the glass.


    ¡°You¡¯ve only been here for a while, but you¡¯re already homesick!¡± Yun You couldn¡¯t help but sigh.

 Chapter 2

    In a room in C City, the dim candlelight shone on the narrow space.


    On the swivel chair at the innermost side of the room, a coquettish-looking woman crossed her legs and crossed them. She held a wine glass in her hand and swirled the red wine in it. Her long and narrow peach blossom eyes looked at the aggressive muscular man in front of her with a faint smile.


    ¡°Mei, why did you let him go? Don¡¯t forget what your mission is.¡± Wang Tai gritted his teeth and said to her.


    ¡°Hehe, let him go? You can eat whatever you want, but you can¡¯t say whatever you want. My mission is to give him that injection. The rest is not under my jurisdiction.¡± Mei took a sip of red wine, raised her slender neck, and continued, ¡°And I administered that injection.¡±


    ¡°But he left alive. That¡¯s Test Subject Number One!!¡± Wang Tai almost shouted at Mei.


    Mei lazily changed her posture. ¡°Oh, so you¡¯re not confident in your boss¡¯s potion.¡±


    ¡°Wang Tai, pay attention to your identity. With your strength, you don¡¯t have the qualifications to shout at me.¡± Mei didn¡¯t have much patience. Killing intent appeared in her eyes.


    ¡°You¡­¡± Wang Tai was trembling with anger, but he was indeed no match for Mei.


    ¡°Hmph.¡± He turned around and left.


    Only Mei was left in the room. She finished the wine in one gulp. Some red wine flowed down the corner of her mouth, making her look extremely charming. ¡°Hehe, I actually hope that he survives. That lunatic¡¯s expression will definitely be interesting.¡±


    But is it really possible?


    On a road in the city, a figure was walking alone. He had one hand on his shoulder, and black lines spread on his arm. Although he looked very tired with every step, the terrifying aura spreading from his body was still not to be underestimated.


    A few low-level zombies surrounded him and suddenly attacked him. Han Qichuan formed a claw with one hand, and unknown scales appeared on his arm and face. The surrounding temperature plummeted, and he finished off the zombies that pounced on him in a few moves.


    However, he did not look relaxed. He pursed his lips, closed his eyes, and clenched his fists even tighter, as if he was fighting something.


    If one looked closely, they would see that the black lines on his arms had become longer and seemed to cover a wider area. He took a few steps forward.


    With a bang, his body trembled and he fell to the ground.


    At the same time, in the shop¡­


    [Beep! Target detected nearby. Do you want to go to the rescue?]


    Yun You, who was thinking about her hometown, was pulled back from her thoughts by the system¡¯s voice.


    Hmm? The target? Could it be Han Qichuan? That was great. Looks like she don¡¯t have to sleep in the hall today.


    Big Orange, who was on the table, was also woken up. It narrowed its eyes and yawned. It smacked its lips and came out of the small blanket to stretch. It tilted its head and looked at Yun You, as if asking what was wrong.


    Yun You put the blanket into the system space and patted Big Orange¡¯s head. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    The road at night was not so easy to distinguish. Relying on the guidance of the system interface, it still took Yun You a while to find the place.


    After arriving at the designated location, Yun You closed the system interface and was about to look for the target when a stench assaulted her. Yun You frowned and held it in for a long time.


    It seemed that it will take her a while to adapt to the apocalypse.


    ¡°He should be here. Why does it smell so rotten? I wonder how Han Qichuan is doing.¡±


    I should be able to make it in time!


    ¡°Meow, in front.¡± Big Orange jumped out of Yun You¡¯s arms and jogged to the front.


    Yun You quickly followed. The scene in front of her could be vaguely seen under the moonlight.


    Seven or eight zombie corpses were lying on the ground. Some of them had scratches on their bodies and the ice that had yet to completely dissipate. These zombies had all died from head explosions. Dark green mucus was all over the ground. No wonder there was such a strong rotten smell.


    There were also crystal cores on the ground that no one had collected. However, they were almost useless to Yun You unless she earned them from a convenience store.


    There should have been a huge battle here. Thinking of this, Yun You¡¯s heart trembled. Her starting mission wouldn¡¯t be gone just like that, right!!


    This thought did not last long because she had found the person.


    A few steps in front of the zombies, Han Qichuan lay on his back with his shoulders pinched. His body, which was still twitching from time to time, showed that his situation was definitely not easy.


    Han Qichuan¡¯s face was cold and hard. He looked very dignified. Other than the blood and mucus on his face, although he was not stunning at first glance, he was the kind that is relatively good looking. The more one looked at him, the better he looked.


    His short black hair was messy and stained with dust. He was in a very sorry state. There were many holes in his short shirt, as well as burns and lacerations.


    ¡°Meow, Little You, he¡¯s been poisoned. His condition is very bad. It¡¯s also very dangerous nearby. We have to move back to treat him immediately.¡± Big Orange leaned closer and sniffed before turning to Yun You.


    Yun You nodded, but how was she going to bring him back? Forget it, there was no time to think about it. It seemed that she could only carry him back. Fortunately, she often exercised. Carrying an adult man shouldn¡¯t be a problem, right?


    Although a 1.69m girl carrying a 1.8m tall man looked a little incongruous,


    Well, he was heavy, but barely. But why did he smell so strange? The smell of decay, blood, and all kinds of unpleasant potions mixed together. She felt that she could barely smell anything anymore.


    Enduring her disgust, Yun You walked back to the shop step by step. Big Orange stood guard around her and led the way.


    On the way, Han Qichuan woke up in a daze, but Yun You and Big Orange didn¡¯t notice.


    ¡®Who is it? A pretty girl I don¡¯t know.¡¯


    Before he could think carefully, Han Qichuan fainted again.


    After they walked for a while, another group of people rushed to this place.


    ¡°Boss, there¡¯s a situation here.¡±


    ¡°This place is full of dead zombies.¡±


    ¡°Keep searching.¡±


    That¡¯s right, this group of people was Wang Tai and the others. Originally, their mission this time was to observe the effect of Han Qichuan¡¯s injection. If he died, they would just dispose him. If he was still alive in a short period of time, their boss would bring him back and continue the experiments.


    After a while¡­


    ¡°Report, Boss. There¡¯s no sign of him.¡±


    One of his subordinates answered Wang Tai.


    ¡°No sign of him.¡± Wang Tai was a little surprised. Han Qichuan could still leave in such a state. Could he have been saved by someone?


    However, if the person who was injected with the drug did not have the antidote in a day, it was almost impossible for him to survive. At most, he would go back and report that Test Subject Number One died in a few minutes.


    ¡°Let¡¯s wrap up.¡±


    In White Clouds store.


    ¡°Big Orange, quick, quick, open the door. I can¡¯t hold on anymore. Why is he so heavy?¡± Yun You shouted from the door. Her legs were trembling. She had overestimated her ability to bear weight. She was almost at her limit.

 Chapter 3

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ¡°Meow.¡±


    Big Orange rushed forward and jumped up to open the door. Then, he called for the lights.


    Yun You carried someone on her back and staggered in. Along the way, she supported herself against the wall and finally collapsed on a sofa in the hall with Han Qichuan.


    She had overestimated herself. She intially felt that he was not very heavy. However, as time passed, she felt that her arm was no longer hers.


    ¡°Meow, Xiao You, get up quickly. Han Qichuan is still poisoned. You still have to save him!¡± Big Orange circled Yun You.


    ¡°Yes, I haven¡¯t forgotten. I still have something important to do.¡± Yun You wanted to cry but had no tears. She had no choice but to drag her tired body up and pull out the system interface to search for the antidote.


    ¡°Meow, there¡¯s no need to look for it. Han Qichuan hasn¡¯t recovered, and the starting mission hasn¡¯t been completed. You can¡¯t buy anything from the system store.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± What kind of tragic setting was this?


    ¡°Meow, Xiao You, you¡¯re a repairman. In this apocalypse, you¡¯re equivalent to a healing ability user. Although it costs 50 system coins each time, you were given 150 coins when you came! Meow, didn¡¯t I say that?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Did you say that?


    As if sensing Yun You¡¯s aggrieved gaze, Big Orange carefully recalled again. Then, all the cat fur on its body seemed to stand up.


    Meow, did I really forget to mention it?


    Yun You placed one hand on Han Qichuan¡¯s forehead and used the other hand to open the system interface under Big Orange¡¯s guidance. She spent 50 coins and closed her eyes to feel the power Big Orange mentioned.


    A gentle white light emerged from Yun You¡¯s hand. Under the comfort of the white light, Han Qichuan¡¯s frown gradually relaxed, and the black lines on his arm gradually dissipated.


    As time passed, Yun You felt more and more strained.


    Why was the healing process so tiring? Were all apocalyptic healing types like this?


    Half an hour later, Yun You reached out and wiped her forehead that was covered in sweat. She let out a long sigh of relief. Suddenly, she felt dizzy. Her legs bent and she fell on Han Qichuan.


    ¡°!¡± So this poison could not be cured by the Healing Element?!


    Only the laboratory that had captured Han Qichuan had the antidote for the medicine he was poisoned with. Even high-level healing superpowers could not treat it. However, Yun You was different. Although the abilities of a repairman were similar to that of a healing superpower user, their level was higher.


    However, any additional effects required a higher price. If Yun You treated those who could not be treated by the healing system, such as the medicine that Han Qichuan was injected with this time, the price would be being weak for an entire day, exhausted physically, and unable to continue using the healing ability the next day.


    The side effects of the treatment came very quickly. Her entire body was overdrawn and she did not have any strength. Even if Han Qichuan smelled bad now, he could not smoke her away.


    ¡°Meow, Xiao You, it was my problem previously. I forgot to tell you.¡± Big Orange ran in front of Yun You and lowered its ears to admit its mistake.


    ¡°¡­¡± Yun You¡¯s eyelids were twitching. She could only ask slowly again, ¡°Big Orange¡­ Think about what else you have to say¡­ No, ha¡­¡±


    Yun You yawned. Her voice was intermittent, as if she was about to fall asleep.


    Big Orange didn¡¯t notice Yun You¡¯s state. He was looking at his cat claws and counting. ¡°Meow, the shop can change locations. The system store can be opened after the initial mission is completed. Hmm, meow, the shop¡¯s supermarket seems to be the same.¡±


    Big Orange paused for a while and thought about it. ¡°Meow, right, there should be a special reward later. It seems to be a book or something. I can¡¯t remember.¡±


    Not hearing Yun You¡¯s reply, Big Orange looked up in confusion. ¡°Meow, why did you fall asleep?¡± It jumped onto Yun You¡¯s body.


    ¡°Big Orange, stop fooling around. I¡¯m so tired!¡± Yun You¡¯s blurry voice sounded. She waved her hand and chased Big Orange away. She turned around and hugged Han Qichuan¡¯s waist before continuing to sleep.


    Big Orange, who had been chased down, was speechless.


    Meow, forget it. Xiao You is too tired today. I won¡¯t pick a fight today.


    Big Orange closed the door of the shop and took out a blanket from the space to cover Yun You. Then, it dragged out its small blanket and found a random spot to circle her.


    In the end, he turned off the lights and went to sleep. After the lights went out, the shop quietly disappeared, as if it had never appeared, leaving only an empty space.


    In the darkness of the shop, the unconscious Han Qichuan seemed to be trapped by a nightmare and began to struggle continuously. There seemed to be a small glowing gray ball flickering in his chest. The stronger the light, the more uncomfortable he seemed to be and the more he struggled.


    Slap!!


    In her sleep, Yun You slapped Han Qichuan¡¯s chest in a daze. The gray ball of light seemed to have been severely injured and quickly shrank before finally disappearing.


    The night finally calmed down.


    5:30 A.M.


    Yun You dreamed that she had fallen into a sewage ditch and was woken up by the smell. When she opened her eyes, she saw a torn short shirt. She was now lying on Han Qichuan¡¯s chest. She hurriedly got up. The blanket on her body slipped to the ground, and her cheeks and ears turned red.


    Before he woke up, Yun You quickly put away the blanket and patted her smooth face. She took a deep breath to make herself look normal. After all, this was not entirely her responsibility. She did not know that she would faint after using her ability.


    However, Yun You didn¡¯t have the energy to think about this.


    After calming down, she realized that because of the corruption on Han Qichuan¡¯s body, the smell of blood was too strong, causing her to smell like this now.


    No wonder she dreamed of falling into the trash pool and then thrown into the sewage ditch by the monster!


    No, she couldn¡¯t stand this smell anymore. She had to clean up. She still had to open the shop today. With this smell, which customer would come in to buy things?


    ¡°Ha~ Meow.¡± Big Orange woke up when it heard the commotion.


    ¡°Hey, Big Orange, you¡¯re awake. It¡¯s time to wash you up.¡± Yun You went to Big Orange¡¯s side and sniffed.


    ¡°Meow!¡±


    ¡°The protest is invalid. The captain instructed us before we came.¡±


    Yun You opened the system interface and pulled out the layout of the shop. This function could only be used after bringing Han Qichuan back and she had only completed half of the mission.


    The shop had two floors. The first floor belonged to the place where Yun You sold things. The second floor was the area for daily living.


    After confirming the location, Yun You had no choice but to carry Han Qichuan to the second floor like yesterday. At the same time, she did not forget to call Big Orange.


    ¡°Big Orange, don¡¯t try to run. Hurry up and follow me.¡±


    Big Orange, who was about to escape when Yun You wasn¡¯t paying attention: ¡°¡­¡±


    On the second floor, the bathroom was an indoor bathroom. Yun You carried Han Qichuan into the bedroom. After placing him at the side, she picked up Big Orange with one hand and entered the bathroom to wash up.


    After washing up, she found a hairdryer in the room and quickly dealt with Big Orange.


    ¡°Alright, go play by yourself. You can go down and watch the shop or stay at this floor.¡±


    ¡°Meow.¡± Big Orange shook its body and walked downstairs elegantly.


    After washing Big Orange, Yun You turned her gaze back to Han Qichuan, who was sitting on the seat.


    Should I clean him up? Yes, he should still be awake for a while. Forget it, I¡¯ll wipe him down. Besides, his clothes shouldn¡¯t be comfortable. I¡¯ll just be a good person till to the end.


    She could also take a look at the wounds on his body and help him deal with them. Yesterday, she had only cured him of the poison.


    Without any hesitation, Yun You, who had thought it through, stripped Han Qichuan naked except for a pair of underpants. Her movements were fast and not sloppy. However, when she was unbuckling his belt, she paused.

 Chapter 4

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Han Qichuan had a slender figure, well-proportioned muscles, and an eight-pack. He was the type of person who looked good regardless the style of clothes. However, Yun You felt that if he was a little fatter, he would be even more perfect.


    However, Yun You¡¯s attention was not on his figure, but the scars on his body.


    There were dozens of old and new wounds. There were old whip wounds, scratches, and even bullet wounds. The new wounds and burns were still black, and blood was still seeping out of the grazes and cuts.


    Seeing this, Yun You couldn¡¯t help but frown. According to the information she had, she only knew that he had been captured before. She didn¡¯t know the details.


    What had he experienced before?


    After Yun You found a basin and filled it with water, she took out a clean towel from her interspace and wiped his new wounds. She could not continue to use her healing ability now, so she could only use medicine bandages.


    Although cleaning these wounds were not as tiring as the poison in his body, she physically could not withstand a lot. Moreover, she wiped down his body. When she was done, Yun You was already sweating profusely.


    She moved Han Qichuan to the bed and covered his chest with the blanket. Yun You took a deep breath and turned around to enter the bathroom.


    ¡ª-


    When he opened his eyes, he saw bright lights and a white ceiling. Beside him was a wide French window, and he was covered with a light blue blanket.


    Where was this? Was there such a place in the apocalypse? Could it be a large base?


    Wasn¡¯t I¡­? Wait, what happened to me before? Who am I?


    Han Qichuan suddenly sat up from the bed and felt a chill on his body. He looked down and saw that his clothes were gone. Fortunately, what needs to be covered remains covered.


    Han Qichuan looked around warily. The things in this room were very new, like the person had just moved here not long ago. He heard the sound of the door opening and turned around.


    It was a bathroom door. A girl with a towel wrapped around her walked out. Her skin was as fair as porcelain.


    The two of them looked at each other. Han Qichuan subconsciously closed his eyes before hearing the door closed.


    When Yun You and Han Qichuan looked at each other, she felt as if her face was burning. When she reacted, she immediately closed the door and hid in the bathroom. She shook her head and was a little annoyed at herself for not thinking it through. Why did he wake up so quickly?


    After calming down for a moment, Yun You took her clothes from the system space and changed before leaving the bathroom.


    ¡°Hey, stop! Don¡¯t remove the bandage on your hand!¡±


    After a few minutes, Yun You came out and saw Han Qichuan picking at the scar on his hand. The wound that had stopped bleeding was bleeding again.


    ¡°I just saved you. You haven¡¯t even recovered from your injuries. Instead of lying down to recuperate, you¡¯re messing around here.¡±


    Yun You quickly walked over and snatched the bandage from Han Qichuan¡¯s hand to bandage him again.


    The room fell silent, and only the sound of bandages being wrapped could be heard. After Yun You wrapped it up, she looked up and saw a pair of dark eyes staring at her. She had to admit that Han Qichuan¡¯s eyes were very beautiful, but such a straight gaze still made Yun You take a step back.


    ¡°Have a good rest.¡± After saying that, Yun You prepared to leave.


    ¡°Wait, do we know each other?¡± A cello-like deep voice sounded.


    ¡°Ah?¡± Yun You was stunned by the question.


    ¡°Sorry, I forgot¡­¡± He remembered nobody, including himself¡­


    Han Qichuan lowered his head silently like a stray dog.


    Did he lose his memory? Judging from his condition, it seemed to be true. Moreover, there was no need for him to fake it.


    Yun You shook her head. ¡°In a sense, I know you, but you don¡¯t know me. I picked you up on the road yesterday. When I bumped into you, you were already seriously injured. By the way, do you remember what happened yesterday?¡±


    ¡°No.¡± Han Qichuan looked a little disappointed.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t remember. You¡¯ll definitely remember after recuperating.¡±


    Han Qichuan nodded. After a moment of silence, he said, ¡°You said you know me. What¡¯s my name?¡­ I don¡¯t remember.¡±


    ¡°I know about this, Han Qichuan.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±


    ¡°Huh? Me? My name is Yun You. I¡¯m the owner of this shop. Alright, rest quickly. You might remember after you recover.¡±


    Yun You comforted him. ¡°Oh, right. Because your clothes are dirty, I threw them into the washing machine for you. It¡¯s drying now.¡±


    ¡°Because I don¡¯t have any men¡¯s clothes, you just have to bear with it for now. You can wear them after they¡¯ve dried.¡± Yun You didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll go down first. Have a good rest.¡± After saying that, Yun You went out and went downstairs.


    Han Qichuan¡¯s eyes turned cold as he looked out of the window. This situation, where he didn¡¯t know anything, made him feel very uncomfortable. He hoped that his memory would recover quickly.


    He slowly closed his eyes and lay down to rest. The figure in the light blue dress just now appeared in his mind. Yun You. Yes, he should be able to believe her.


    A few minutes later, Han Qichuan fell asleep again.


    After a while, when Yun You returned to the shop downstairs, it was already 6:40 AM. At this moment, the morning sun shone through the window on the sofa against the wall in the shop. On the sofa, Big Orange was lazily basking in the sun.


    ¡°Big Orange, will there really be people coming to buy things around here?¡± Yun You sat beside Big Orange and sunbathed with it.


    ¡°Meow, this is the location obtained by the system after a lot of data calculations. I don¡¯t know either.¡± Big Orange was basking in the sun and couldn¡¯t even be bothered to look up.


    ¡°¡­¡± Why did it feel so ridiculous?


    Yun You stopped thinking and opened the system interface.

    First Quest: Save Han Qichuan


    (Two-thirds completed)


    Note: Detected that members have not completed the initial mission. Some functions and items of the system will not be activated. Please complete it as soon as possible.]


    Eh? No, I¡¯ve already completed the starting mission?


    [System reply: Han Qichuan has lost his memory. It is not completed.]


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Ding!


    [System has issued a mission: Obtain a special fruit in C City¡ªthe Prism Fruit. Choose whether to accept it or not.]


    Mission Reward: Points]


    According to this mission, she would probably leave the shop. As a special item, there would definitely be many people out to get it, and it would definitely not be a basic item. The difficulty would definitely be high. To be honest, she didn¡¯t want to accept it.


    Yun You was about to say no.


    [Note: This fruit can restore lost memories through consumption.]


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Accept it! Why wouldn¡¯t she accept it? She loved doing difficult missions!


    Since she was ready to participate in the competition, Yun You pulled out the basic information about this plane from the system and did some revision. She planned to understand the current power system of this plane.


    In this plane, after the apocalypse, the original rules of the plane had been destroyed. This was also the fundamental reason why the power system of superpowers appeared.


    The Arcana system was mainly composed of five elements, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. There were also other small special abilities, such as space, mental strength, and other forms of abilities.


    ¡°Big Orange, do you think I¡¯ll have this apocalyptic superpower in the future?¡±


    ¡°Meow, dream on. Under the rules of Earth, do you think it¡¯s possible?¡±


    Well, that seemed to be the case. Although she did not have any superpowers in the apocalyptic world, she was immune to all superpowers and zombie viruses under the rules of Earth. This cheat was still not bad.


    After putting away the system interface, Yun You stood up and unlocked the door of the shop. There was still some time before she accepted the mission, and her starting mission could be completed today. It was rumored that the mission rewards were very generous.


    Yun You smiled as she looked at the rising sun with confidence.

 Chapter 5

    C City, Jinhua Road.


    In the damaged and desolated street, a well-equipped team was searching for something. The five of them were armed and wearing dark camouflage.


    The team advanced cautiously and carefully observed their surroundings. They found a few zombies wandering around and did not give them any time to react, killing them without hesitation.


    With the zombies killed, the four of them continued to observe the surroundings for protection. One of them went to the side of the dead zombies, took off the knife at his waist, and took out a bright yellow crystal from the green mucus of the zombie brain.


    ¡°Captain, all the zombies in the surroundings have been cleared. Most of them are Level 1 zombies and a few Level 0 ones. The six Level 1 zombie nuclei have all been put away. There are no ability zombie nuclei here.¡± After searching the nearby roads, the team member who had collected the nuclei walked to Lu Linyan and reported.


    Since the apocalypse, nuclei were the special byproducts of mutated animals, plants, and zombies. They were the core of their strength. The quality of nuclei was also ranked according to level. Level 0 did not have nuclei, and the higher the level, the stronger the energy contained in the nuclei. However, the owner of the corresponding nuclei would also be stronger.


    There was another special type of nuclei, and that was the ability-type nuclei. If one used the nuclei of the corresponding ability, they would obtain additional energy. If they did not correspond, the effect of using it was the same as ordinary nucleis.


    There were very few ability nucleis among zombies. Last night, Cheng Jun and the others were quite lucky. One of the three Level 3 zombies was a ability zombie.


    ¡°Yes, put away the nucleis and distribute them when we return. Now, continue to search for food and other supplies nearby.¡±


    This team was one of the teams sent by the Firebird Base to C City. Now, their purpose in coming to Jinhua Road was to find supplies.


    ¡°Captain, there¡¯s a convenience store here. The supplies haven¡¯t been completely swept.¡± A chubby team member in front shouted at Lu Linyan.


    ¡°Go to Fatty Zhang¡¯s place and move the supplies,¡± Lu Linyan said to his teammates.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    It was an ordinary convenience store, located in a small alley on Jinhua Road. A layer of dust had already accumulated on the food bags on the shelves, indicating that it had been abandoned for a long time. There were still many goods on the shelves. Perhaps it was because its geographical location was remote that it had escaped the purge of humans at the beginning of the apocalypse.


    He wondered if these foods could still be eaten now.


    Lu Linyan took a bag of biscuits from the shelf and looked at the date on it.


    ¡®Well, it¡¯s not expired.¡¯


    ¡°Captain, I found something,¡± Fatty Zhang said. ¡°There¡¯s a door here, but it¡¯s locked. I wonder if this is the storehouse.¡±


    Lu Linyan walked over and took a look. There was an iron door. He reached out and knocked on it. From the sound, it sounded quite thick.


    His fire elemental abilities could not open this door.


    ¡°Ling Xuanwei, see if you can open this door.¡±


    ¡°Let me see.¡±


    A female team member who was helping to collect the goods on the shelves stopped what she was doing and walked towards the door. She observed the door for a while and supported her chin with one hand. ¡°I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s okay. I¡¯ve never tried to open a lock before. Let¡¯s try!¡±


    Ling Xuanwei was a psychic . Every psychic ability user¡¯s ability might be different. Ling Xuanwei¡¯s ability was equivalent to telekinesis, and she could control the movement of objects. Now that she was a Level 3 paranormal, her current telekinesis level could not destroy the anti-theft door.


    If she could not destroy it, she could at least manipulate it. If she was inside, she would discover that the handle inside the door was twisting on its own.


    Crack!


    The door opened.


    ¡°Wow! Sister Wei is so powerful.¡± This voice was the last member of the team, Shan Tao. She was the team¡¯s healer, a Level 3 healer and the youngest.


    Healing-type abilities did not play a big role at Level 1 or 2, so the resources that healing-type abilities could obtain were little. At that time, she, who was a healing-type ability, was strongly supported by Ling Xuanwei.


    At that time, when no one was optimistic about the healer-type ability, Ling Xuanwei had always believed that it was very useful.


    With her help, Shan Tao became the first Level 3 Healer in the apocalypse. The news that Level 3 Healer could cure patients who had yet to be completely infected spread.


    As a result, the status of a healing-type ability user increased overnight. From then on, Shan Tao became a little obsessed with Ling Xuanwei.


    This time, a Level 3 healing-type ability user appeared a few months earlier than the previous timeline.


    Lu Linyan carefully pushed the door open. With his other hand, he prepared his fire power to prevent any accidents from happening. In the entire team, Lu Linyan was the highest level in the team, a Level 4 fire elemental ability user.


    After the door opened, everyone was in disbelief.


    This was really the warehouse of this convenience store. However, this warehouse seemed to have been imported not long before the apocalypse. The supplies were almost filled up in the warehouse. There was food and daily necessities.


    Fatty Zhang rubbed his hands excitedly. ¡°Captain, what a huge haul!¡±


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s indeed a huge gain.¡± A visible smile appeared on Lu Linyan¡¯s face. ¡°Zhao Xuan, how much can your space hold?¡±


    ¡°Captain, we can only store half of it.¡± Zhao Xuan smiled bitterly. He was a dual-element ability user. Space and water. His spatial ability was only Level 2, and the size of his space was not enough to store all the resources.


    Lu Linyan pondered for a moment and turned to Ling Xuanwei. ¡°Contact the garrison and ask them to send another car over.¡±


    ¡°Will do.¡±


    ¡°Zhao Xuan will take half of the supplies. The others will move the supplies outside with me first.¡±


    ¡°Roger that.¡±


    A while later, at Jinhua Road.


    ¡°How long till the car gets here?¡±


    Lu Linyan asked.


    ¡°We¡¯ll be there in a few minutes.¡±


    ¡°Then let¡¯s rest for a while. When the car arrives, we¡¯ll move the supplies and our mission will be completed.¡±


    The team members were also tired. They leaned against the cardboard boxes to rest.


    Rumble rumble rumble¡­


    A truck was approaching from the front.


    ¡°Old Liu (Uncle Liu), over here.¡± Seeing that it was Old Liu, everyone stood up and waved at the car.


    The truck stopped in front of everyone. A middle-aged man in his forties with black hair mixed with a few strands of white hair got out of the truck.


    ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard, everyone.¡± Old Liu smiled, and the wrinkles on his face were very obvious.


    ¡°Hey, Old Liu, look at all the supplies we¡¯ve found. Why don¡¯t you treat us to a drink tonight?¡± Fatty Zhang said with a mischievous smile on his face. The bottles of wine that Old Liu had collected were simply too fragrant!


    ¡°F*ck you. You¡¯re always thinking about this little wine of mine.¡± Old Liu scolded him with a smile.


    ¡°Uncle Liu, why are you here? And why did you drive this truck over? Didn¡¯t this truck say that it was loud? Why didn¡¯t you drive the other one?¡± Ling Xuanwei walked in front of Old Liu and was a little puzzled.


    Uncle Liu¡¯s driving skills were the best in the base. Coming over to help them pick up these supplies was really a little testing. Moreover, a loud car would be an easier target by zombies on the way.

 Chapter 6

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ¡°The other car from the base is broken. This one has been modified. It¡¯s a little quieter, but if it¡¯s someone else driving it, won¡¯t we be worried that they won¡¯t be able to shake off the zombies on the way back?¡±


    Old Liu took a few bottles of water from the car and handed them to them. He took a sip, wiped his mouth, and said, ¡°So he sent me.¡±


    Everyone nodded. Everyone knew why Old Liu was the only one who came. Originally, the base did not send many people to the city this time. The other people had their own things to do. Being able to send Old Liu out was already enough to show that they valued him.


    ¡°I heard that you found food from before the apocalypse. It¡¯s better to be safe at the base. Sigh! After all, the more you eat, the less you have left!¡±


    Hearing Old Liu¡¯s words, everyone fell silent. After the apocalypse, radiation had polluted the land. All kinds of mutant plants had appeared, and the crops planted would be polluted no matter what.


    Not to mention that the food made by these plants would affect the taste, the pollution would accumulate bit by bit. Ordinary people would not be affected much as the ability users.


    Old Liu looked at everyone¡¯s despondent faces and thought that he had said something wrong.


    ¡°Hey, hey, hey. Alright, don¡¯t look so gloomy. This old man is spouting nonsense. Every era has its own way of living. Perhaps this girl¡¯s ability can solve these problems in the future?¡±


    He patted Shan Tao¡¯s shoulder and encouraged her.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. I can already treat people who have just been bitten by zombies at Level 3. It will definitely be useful for pollution in the future.¡± Shan Tao raised her head and turned to look at Ling Xuanwei. ¡°Sister Wei, don¡¯t you think so?¡±


    ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right.¡± Ling Xuanwei nodded and said with a smile.


    She had never doubted this. Although Shan Tao could not fully eliminate the pollution, there was no problem suppressing and delaying the infection.


    ¡°Alright, everyone, let¡¯s move quickly. Zhao Xuan definitely won¡¯t be able to finish moving alone.¡± Lu Linyan interrupted and ended the conversation.


    Big Fatty Zhang rushed over to Zhao Xuan and nudged him with his butt. ¡°Alright, Little Zhao. Hurry up. Let¡¯s see who can move more.¡±


    Zhao Xuan pushed his eyes up. ¡°Boring.¡± However, his movements clearly became faster.


    ¡°Haha, count me in.¡±


    ¡°Why would a young lady like you join the competition between me and Zhao Xuan?¡±


    ¡°Hmph! Hehehe¡­¡±


    Lu Linyan and Ling Xuanwei looked at each other and smiled before joining the rest.


    Old Liu stroked his nonexistent beard and looked at the group of young people. His expression paused for a moment before he helped move them.


    Sigh, it was good to be young!


    Everyone was focused on moving the items. What they did not notice was that at the end of the road, two pairs of white eyes were staring at them and quietly approaching.


    In White Clouds store.


    Yun You chose a few dishes that she had stored in the system space for breakfast. At the same time, she sent them to Han Qichuan, who had lost his memory upstairs. Big Orange slowly ate the dried fish that Yun You had made.


    There was a back kitchen on the first floor of the shop. It was at the end of the corridor beside the front desk of the cafe. When Yun You came down, she had also gone in to take a look and take inventory of the food items in the kitchen.


    However, she still chose to eat a simply breakfast of milk and bread. It was because she had been busy for so long last night and this morning, so she wanted to rest.


    Currently, she was lying on the sofa with her eyes closed and resting. She had earphones in her ears, listening to music. After a while, Yun You seemed to have thought of something and stood up. She asked the system, ¡°System, can the things I put in the space previously be sold as goods in the shop?¡±


    [Beep. Sure, but I suggest that the store manager not sell too much and try to keep it for himself.]


    Alright, that¡¯s great. Of course, she wouldn¡¯t sell everything! However, the supermarket function of the shop hadn¡¯t been activated yet. Now, only drinks could be sold, and food that could fill one¡¯s stomach would definitely be different in the apocalypse!


    The food in her space was almost oversaturated. Selling food can attract the first batch of customers and complete the novice mission. It was killing two birds with one stone.


    Why not!


    Yun You happily took some convenience food, bread, milk, instant noodles, and so on and placed them on the shelves at the front desk.


    The system notification came again.


    [Beep. The first special drink, the ¡°Resuscitation¡± formula and ingredients have been issued. Please take note.]


    ¡°Resuscitation¡± was one of the signature drinks that she had seen on the information previously.


    Yun You opened it and looked at the formula. The more she looked at it, the more familiar it looked. Wasn¡¯t this Passionfruit Pineapple Orange Tea?!


    However, from the name on the system, the names of all the materials had been added to the [Earth Special].


    What was this special item?


    As if noticing Yun You¡¯s confused expression, Big Orange curiously came over. When it saw the interface, it immediately lost interest and turned around to continue eating its dried fish.


    Meow, I was still wondering what was it. Just this?


    ¡°Big Orange, what does this mean, do you know?¡±


    Yun You saw Big Orange¡¯s expression from the side. What else was there to guess? It must know.


    ¡°Meow, you can guess this, right? Isn¡¯t it the abbreviation of the special high-quality Earth brand?!¡±


    ¡°!¡­¡±


    After being speechless for a while, Yun You resigned herself to fate and took out the ingredients. The appearance of the ingredients were top-notch. Moreover, other than the original smell of the fruit, there was another special fragrance in the ingredients.


    As expected, the system¡¯s products were definitely the best of best.


    Yun You brought the ingredients to the kitchen and prepared to make the first signature drink. However, she did not know if the effect was the same as what was described in the previous information.


    At the same time, she wasn¡¯t sure if there would be customers today. However, Yun You wasn¡¯t worried about this. After all, it was the apocalypse. She could take it slow. If no one would buy it today, at most, she would drink it herself.


    C City, Jinhua Road.


    Fatty Zhang grinned at Zhao Xuan and said, ¡°Finally, we¡¯re done. Little Zhao, hahahaha! I moved more than you did, didn¡¯t I?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Zhao Xuan looked at Fatty Zhang, his eyes filled with disdain. ¡°Why are you so childish?¡±


    ¡°Alright, the things here have been packed. Let¡¯s see if we should search the vicinity again or go back today,¡± Lu Linyan interrupted.


    ¡°Captain,¡± Big Fatty Zhang said, ¡°we only searched one small portion of this site today! If we don¡¯t search it again, it won¡¯t make sense.¡±


    ¡°I agree. Besides, it¡¯s still early today.¡± It was rare that Zhao Xuan didn¡¯t go against Fatty Zhang.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. We¡¯ve only been out for a while,¡± Shan Tao agreed.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Ling Xuanwei nodded at Lu Linyan, indicating that she felt the same.


    Lu Linyan held his forehead. He had never seen a team member so enthusiastic and energetic. But it makes sense, otherwise, why would their team be ranked first in the base?


    Lu Linyan smiled. ¡°Alright then! We¡­¡± Let¡¯s continue searching nearby!


    Before he could finish speaking, Lu Linyan was stunned and shouted at Ling Xuanwei, ¡°Be careful!!¡±


    Ling Xuanwei was stunned. When she reacted, the world was spinning and she was already in Lu Linyan¡¯s arms. She turned around and saw a strange long object stuck to the ground where she was originally standing.

 Chapter 7

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ¡°Looks like the search today has to be canceled.¡± Lu Linyan let go of Ling Xuanwei again. His tone was serious, and his eyes were vigilant as he stared ahead.


    The first thing that attacked everyone¡¯s vision was a huge body in front of them. It was wearing tattered clothes. Under the clothes, there was a green and black skin that was bleeding a mixture of blood and unknown mucus. It had sharp teeth and a long tongue. There were holes in its face and its eye sockets had burst.


    The surface of its body seemed to be covered in a layer of soil. Its white eyes undoubtedly revealed its identity.


    His mood could not help but sink. The Srength-type zombie was too reckless, and its defense was very high. Unless the guns hit its vital points, it was very difficult to threaten it and it was not easy to deal with.


    However, this was not the worst.


    The disgusting long thing on the ground suddenly shrank back and disappeared behind the Strength-type zombie.


    ¡°What¡­ what is this?¡± Shan Tao felt a little uneasy. She hid behind Ling Xuanwei and her voice was trembling.


    ¡°Could it be a new mutated weapon?¡± Big Fatty Zhang guessed.


    Ling Xuanwei shook her head. Her intuition told her that it was not.


    The space seemed to be silent for a long time, but it also seemed to happen in an instant.


    Lu Linyan¡¯s eyes widened, and a rare anxiety and urgency appeared on his face. He turned his head and said to everyone, ¡°Quick, quick! Everyone, get into the car and leave immediately.¡±


    He saw clearly that it was not one zombie, but two. One was small and happened to be blocked. The long thing was none other than its tongue.


    The most serious thing was that he had just sensed it carefully. He felt a strong pressure from the two zombies, this was not a good sign. Zombies that could give him this feeling was definitely not low level.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. There are two zombies. They¡¯re at least Level 4.¡±


    One might be fine, but there were two. Under such circumstances, he could not protect everyone at all. Moreover, he had just reached Level 4.


    The team members reacted very quickly. With guns in their hands and covering fire, they cooperated and quickly climbed into the truck. Old Liu was already prepared. He stepped on the accelerator and the truck sped forward like an arrow.


    Just as they got further and further away from the Strength-type zombie in the car were about to heave a sigh of relief, a long roar came from afar. Everyone suddenly felt that they were enveloped in a huge shadow. They looked up and saw a huge landmark stone statue.


    If it landed, the car would definitely be destroyed and everyone would die. At this moment, everyone¡¯s hair stood on end, and their hearts were in their throats.


    The stone statue was on the verge of smashing into the vehicle, and didn¡¯t even have time to jump off. Big Fatty Zhang wanted to create an earthen wall, but it was too late. His Earth-type abilities were greatly weakened, and even if he succeeded, he wouldn¡¯t be able to block it.


    Was he, Big Fatty Zhang, going to die here today?


    It was at this point that the stone statue stopped in midair. Big Fatty Zhang was still in a daze, and before he could figure out what was going on, he heard a shout.


    ¡°Uncle Liu! Faster!¡± Ling Xuanwei supported him with one hand. Her eyes shone with golden light as she gritted her teeth angrily.


    F*ck!! So it was the Vice-captain¡¯s psychic power.


    Big Fatty Zhang looked at Ling Xuanwei with a bit of admiration. To control a stone statue that weighed at least a ton and a half with Level 3 telekinesis was truly impressive.


    Ling Xuanwei¡¯s abilities weren¡¯t as exaggerated as Big Fatty Zhang had imagined. She couldn¡¯t completely control the stone statue, and even though she tried her best, she could only slow it down and deviate it slightly.


    However, this was enough. With this momentary pause and deceleration, Old Liu increased his speed in time after hearing the sound. The tail of the car was just enough to brush past the stone statue when it fell.


    Just as Ling Xuanwei heaved a sigh of relief,


    *Chi¡ª* A long howl sounded.


    The tongue with the holes in its fangs flew straight at her from behind the stone statue. The strange small mutated zombie was actually hiding on the stone statue and was thrown over by the Strength-type zombie.


    At this moment, Ling Xuanwei, who was using her ability with all her might, could not dodge at all.


    Everything happened in the blink of an eye. It was a true moment of life and death.


    At the critical moment, a wall of fire rose between Ling Xuanwei and the big tongue. The scorching heat forced the tongue to turn around and retract.


    With a bang, the stone statue fell to the ground and shattered. The sound was huge.


    However, C City was now an empty city. Now, the people in C City were all looking for supplies or fruits. Even if they heard voices, they would only hide far away, let alone come out to watch.


    However, now that there was an ¡°outsider¡± in C City, Yun You was in the kitchen dealing with the materials she had just received. When she heard the loud bang, Yun You, who did not understand what was going on, was still complaining to Big Orange, who had entered the kitchen to play, that there were actually thundering in the middle of the day.


    The stone statue brushed the back of the truck a second before it hit the ground. The truck swayed, but it held firm.


    ¡°Are you hurt?¡±


    Lu Linyan walked to Ling Xuanwei¡¯s side and asked anxiously.


    Ling Xuanwei wiped the cold sweat off her forehead and shook her head. She did not know whether to laugh or cry. ¡°No, it¡¯s just that I was indeed a little frightened just now.¡±


    Everyone looked like they had survived a calamity, but the matter was not over. Uncle Liu slowed down and finally stopped.


    ¡°Why, why did it stop?¡± Shan Tao, who had just relaxed, was worried again.


    Zhao Xuan also rose to his feet, lifting up Big Fatty Zhang. After all, standing was the best way to deal with unexpected situations.


    ¡°Uncle Liu?¡± Ling Xuanwei turned her head in confusion.


    At the same time, Uncle Liu¡¯s voice sounded in front. His voice was heavy. ¡°Miss, there¡¯s an earth wall in front. The car can¡¯t drive over.¡±


    ¡°What?!¡±


    Everyone looked up. The three-meter-tall earth wall in the middle of the road was connected to the buildings on both sides of the road, sealing the road.


    Earth-type Arcana?!


    Lu Linyan seemed to have thought of something and turned back to look at the Strength-type zombie that was moving over at a slightly faster speed with the soil in the distance. What else did he not understand?


    It was a Level 4 Earth-type zombie.


    The scene was silent. Clearly, the others had thought of the same thing.


    ¡°Everyone, be careful. Look, that one.¡± Shan Tao¡¯s eyes were sharp. Just as everyone¡¯s gaze landed on the Strength-type zombie, she saw a small green figure rushing forward at an extremely fast speed. A big tongue was swinging in her mouth.


    Wasn¡¯t this the zombie that attacked Ling Xuanwei previously? Its speed was terrifyingly fast, and it arrived in front of her in the blink of an eye.


    Lu Linyan¡¯s reaction was not slow either. The flames quickly followed and forced him back. However, it was too fast. His fire power could only defend and could not hit him at all.


    Lu Linyan¡¯s eyebrows twitched. F*ck, could it be another Level 4, and a Speed-type? It seemed that a fierce battle today was inevitable.

 Chapter 8

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ¡°I¡¯ll hold them back. You guys go and see if the wall can be broken?¡± Lu Linyan shouted behind him.


    ¡°Alright!¡± Without any hesitation, Big Fatty Zhang got out of the car and used his Earth-type abilities on the wall to see if he could control it to destroy it.


    Zhao Xuan didn¡¯t fall behind. He was a Water-type ability user, so he couldn¡¯t control the soil. However, that didn¡¯t stop him from using his abilities to soften the mud wall, which would make it easier for Big Fatty Zhang to control it. Of course, it would be good if he could just crush it.


    Shan Tao was only a Healer and was not good at these things. However, following behind Uncle Liu, she also picked up the hoe that the base had forgotten to take out from the car and dug hard at Zhao Xuan¡¯s soft spot. Every bit she could dig was important.


    Ling Xuanwei stayed behind to help Lu Linyan stop the zombie and buy them time to control the field with her spiritual power. That was a rare Level 4 zombie, not to mention a Speed-type one.


    ¡°It¡¯s about to collapse!¡± Big Fatty Zhang controlled his special ability, causing the earthen wall to tremble.


    The Strength-type zombie, which was using the soil to move over, seemed to sense that someone was resisting its ability. It stopped controlling the soil and walked slowly.


    It also focused on the control that it used to block the mud wall that wanted to escape.


    The earth wall was about to shatter, but in the next second, an external force barely stabilized it.


    Big Fatty Zhang felt like he was about to crush his white teeth. ¡°F*ck¡­¡± he said, using all the strength he could muster. The veins on his hand bulged, and his face twisted.


    Big Fatty Zhang let out a roar. ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m going to¡­ give you hell today, you animal! AHHHH!!! Crack!!¡±


    At the same time, Zhao Xuan increased the pressure of the water.


    The mud wall that was barely surrounded shook even more, and some fine sand fell one after another.


    ¡°Uncle Liu, let¡¯s retreat to the side.¡± Shan Tao sensed that the earth wall was about to collapse and hurriedly reminded him.


    ¡°Alright! Let¡¯s go.¡±


    The two moved to the side.


    Boom! The wall collapsed, turning into sand. Big Fatty Zhang controlled the mud to move to the side, opening up a passageway.


    The wall shattered. The Strength-type zombie felt that it had been provoked and let out an angry scream. It dragged the iron rod that it had picked up from somewhere and actually ran towards the car. With every step it took, the ground seemed to tremble.


    Lu Linyan and Ling Xuanwei cooperated well and defended flawlessly, making the Speed-type zombie so angry that it stomped its feet and cried out.


    The sound of the wall falling to the ground and the angry roar of the Strength-type zombie confirmed that the road had been cleared.


    ¡°They¡¯ve already succeeded.¡±


    ¡°Yes, tell them to retreat first. We¡¯ll cover them.¡±


    Lu Linyan said to Ling Xuanwei.


    ¡°Alright.¡± Ling Xuanwei nodded. It was just as she had thought. The Speed-type zombie was very difficult to deal with. Although it did not break through her and Lu Linyan¡¯s defense, the two of them could not leave for the time being. They could only let the others leave first.


    Ling Xuanwei was about to speak when the sound of the truck behind her rang out, as well as the shouts of her teammates behind her.


    ¡°Captain, Vice-Captain, you can get ready to leave.¡±


    ¡°You guys go first. I¡¯ll cover the retreat with your Captain.¡±


    Ling Xuanwei shouted without turning her head. In her current state, she was using the gun and her ability at the same time. She was so focused that she did not even have time to turn her head.


    ¡°No, it¡¯s too dangerous. Let¡¯s go together.¡±


    ¡°Listen up, this is an order. Uncle Liu, take them away immediately.¡± Lu Linyan¡¯s tone was irrefutable.


    ¡°Alright! You two be careful. The leader is still waiting for you to go back.¡± The truck immediately started and fled.


    ¡°But¡­¡± Both Shan Tao and Big Fatty Zhang looked worried.


    ¡°There¡¯s no buts. If we stay there, we¡¯ll only cause trouble for the Captain and Vice-captain. It might be easier for them to escape if we leave.¡± Zhao Xuan calmly analyzed for them and comforted them.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll call the base later. They¡¯ll send someone to pick them up.¡±


    Old Liu heard their conversation from the driver¡¯s seat and said to them.


    Seeing the truck leave, the Strength-type zombie that was already close screamed fiercely, wanting to summon the earth wall to surround their food that was about to run.


    Lu Linyan directly burned it on the face. Then, he rolled over and dodged the little fellow¡¯s tongue attack with Ling Xuanwei¡¯s help.


    The flames burned. The threat of high temperatures forced it to interrupt the release of its ability. It condensed sand and hit its face to extinguish the flames. After the flames were extinguished, its originally green skin turned greenish-black. It was already ugly, but now it was even uglier.


    With this interruption, the truck had already driven out of the range of its power. The Strength-type zombie had no choice but to transfer its anger to the iron rod and swing it around. At the same time, its earth power attacked the two of them.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Lu Linyan and Ling Xuanwei looked at each other, then turned around and fled. Strength-type zombies were not good at speed. Even with its Earth-type power, it could not run fast. However, the little one came to disturb them from time to time, which annoyed the two of them.


    After many twists and turns, the two of them had already entered another street.


    ¡°This Speed-type seems to have a special connection with the Strength-type,¡± Ling Xuanwei said to Lu Linyan.


    Although the Strength-type didn¡¯t catch up, it was chasing in a very clear direction without any mistakes. Obviously, the two zombies were working together, and the two of them were targetted.


    ¡°We can¡¯t go on like this. I don¡¯t have much power left. We have to find a chance to kill the Speed-type in an instant.¡± Only then would the zombies not be able to catch up to them. Moreover, Lu Linyan was really tired of the Speed-type.


    Although he might not be able to hit it alone and could only defend passively, he was not alone now.


    In White Clouds store.


    Yun You, who had finished processing the ingredients, had already begun to make it. She added the ingredients and shook it to add ice. Making fruit tea was originally a very simple process, but Yun You found ways to play around with it.


    After adding the ingredients, she threw it back with her left hand and turned the container with her right hand to catch the ingredients that were thrown up. Needless to say, she shook it abnormally. Instead, she spun it in the air and caught it.


    After shaking it for a while, she seemed to feel that it was not enough and added two more cups.


    Big Orange, who was watching from the side, couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. ¡°Meow, are you making fruit tea or juggling?¡±


    ¡°Haha, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s cool?¡± Yun You asked with a smile.


    ¡°¡­¡± Big Orange silently turned around.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯m not playing anymore.¡± Looking at Big Orange, Yun You put away her playfulness. In fact, she felt that it was quite cool. At that time, she felt that others were very skilled, so she wanted to learn it. She even practiced alone for a long time.


    Yun You put down the container and cup at once and poured the shaken fruit tea into the two cups. It was just enough to store it. Finally, she inserted a straw and placed a tender green leaf provided by the system. Yun You clapped her hands, and the signature fruit tea series, ¡°Resuscitation¡±, was completed.


    The bright yellow liquid was slightly red. Fragrant fruits and pineapple flesh floated intertwined. As they rotated, one could vaguely see the oranges that had yet to completely break. Ice cubes floated on the liquid surface. On the ice cubes, there were a few emerald leaves leaning on the orange petals, emitting a faint fragrance.


    She wondered if there would be guests today.

 Chapter 9

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Not far from Bai Yunyou¡¯s shop,


    Lu Linyan and Ling Xuanwei turned right and entered an alley by the roadside. The zombie following behind them rushed in to avoid losing them. How could it have thought that the ever-changing and cunning humans would hide at the entrance to ambush it?


    ¡°Ha!¡± Lu Linyan shouted from the side. He pulled out the long saber on his waist and jumped up. The long saber was imbued with fire as it slashed at the zombie¡¯s head.


    The zombie quickly dodged to the side, but Ling Xuanwei had already made preparations. She activated her mental power and controlled the zombie¡¯s movements with her telekinesis. The zombie felt a fatal fear from the attack that rushed towards it. Its instincts told it that if it could not dodge, it would definitely die.


    In its fear, it could only struggle desperately. Just as the blade was about to land on its head, the psychic shackles were broken by it. However, even so, it still lost its leg, which is most important to a Speed-type zombie.


    The short legs landed on the ground, and green mucus splattered. The already dense smell of decay instantly multiplied several times, and the flames on the blade almost burned half of the zombie¡¯s body.


    Without a doubt, with such an injury, even if he did not die now, he would be eliminated sooner or later in the competition.


    It roared in grief and indignation. It stretched out its tongue and wrapped it around the street lamp by the road. It retracted its tongue and dragged its body to escape.


    Ling Xuanwei heaved a sigh of relief, but then she looked vexed. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t control it.¡±


    She was only Level 3 now, and her strength was still too weak. If she had been at that time, that Strength-type zombie would not have been able to move a single step. Ling Xuanwei closed her eyes tightly and clenched her fists.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright. You¡¯ve already done your best. Besides, we didn¡¯t fail,¡± Lu Linyan comforted.


    After all, at the very least, the Speed-type one would not be able to follow them anymore, and the Strength-type one would not be able to track them at all.


    Perhaps it was because of his bad luck, the ground trembled slightly, and the roar that belonged to the zombies did not mean that the Strength-type creature had already caught up.


    Lu Linyan had just leveled up to Level 4 not long ago. In terms of level, he was already lower than the Level 4, almost-Level 5 zombie, and his Earth-type abilities countered fire power to a certain extent. At that time, he didn¡¯t dare to fight it head-on when he was at full power, let alone now, when he didn¡¯t have much power left.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s hurry up now. We¡¯ll be out of danger if we escape for a distance.¡±


    Lu Linyan pulled Ling Xuanwei and ran out of the dead end.


    ¡°Ok.¡±


    Unexpectedly, the Strength-type zombie was already very close. As soon as the two of them came out of the alley, its figure was immediately exposed to their vision. It immediately raised its iron rod and smashed at them, but it was blocked by the trees beside it.


    With a bang, the tree fell to the ground.


    ¡°Run!¡±


    In the shop.


    Boom¡ª


    Another loud bang came from outside.


    Yun You narrowed her eyes. What¡¯s going on? It can¡¯t be thunder again, right? She went out to take a look. With this thought in mind, she carried the fruit tea that had just been completed and left the kitchen.


    ¡°Meow,¡± Big Orange said, and followed.


    At this moment, on the second floor, because Han Qichuan was injured and had just detoxified the poison, he was a little weak. After eating the bread Yun You brought up, he fell asleep again, not affected by the commotion outside at all.


    Yun You placed the prepared fruit tea at the front desk. According to the general direction of the previous sound, she walked towards the glass wall in confusion and looked out. If she didn¡¯t look, she wouldn¡¯t know. She was shocked.


    A huge creature that looked to be nearly three meters tall was knocking around with an iron rod in its hand. There was a fallen roadside tree behind it. From the traces, it was undoubtedly broken by it with a steel rod.


    Although Yun You knew that zombies could not approach the shop, she could not help but feel her heart palpitate when she saw such destructive power.


    Although she was immune to abilities and zombie viruses, she was not particularly afraid of zombies from the bottom of her heart. For someone living in the danger of this apocalyptic plane, she was confident.


    However, that was before today. The shop was very safe, and the system¡¯s credibility was guaranteed. However, it was impossible for her not to go out, such as the Prism Fruit mission mentioned by the system.


    With the level of destruction of the zombie outside, even ten of her might not be enough to be hammered by it.


    ¡°This won¡¯t do. I have to recruit a bodyguard in the future. He has to be trustworthy and strong,¡± Yun You muttered to herself.


    Suddenly, a figure flashed across her mind. Han Qichuan, I wonder if it will work? Forget it, I¡¯ll think about it later!


    Yun You focused her attention on the outside again. Only then did she see clearly that there was a man and a woman running in front of the giant zombie. The clothes and camouflage on them should be able to confirm that they were from a base.


    Yun You was a little worried just now, but when she saw the fire in the man¡¯s hand, she felt relieved. It turned out that he was an ability user, and the giant zombie couldn¡¯t catch up to them. She was worried for nothing.


    Big Orange was also on the sofa, licking its fur. It was only interested after taking a look.


    In its words, why were these ugly fellows looking at it? Wasn¡¯t my dried fish delicious?


    However, after a while, Yun You¡¯s voice rose to a higher pitch, and her eyes were filled with shock.


    ¡°I-Big Orange, why didn¡¯t you say that zombies can have abilities too?¡±


    Big Orange was so frightened that its entire body trembled. It glanced at Yun You resentfully and continued to lick its fur. In the end, it looked at Yun You helplessly and said, ¡°Meow, I thought this kind of general knowledge was on file. Moreover, this has nothing to do with you, since it¡¯s useless against you.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Outside.


    The giant zombie was completely provoked by the two of them. It condensed its Earth power and extinguished the fire on its body. Then, it condensed obstacles in front of the two of them.


    Although the two of them were in a sorry state, they still barely dodged it.


    ¡°Can you still hold on? We¡¯re about to leave the range of its ability. I plan to use all my ability to blur its vision. Then, we¡¯ll make the final sprint and rush out,¡± Lu Linyan said to Ling Xuanwei beside him.


    ¡°Alright, I can hold on. I¡¯ll try my best to move and reduce the mud barrier in front.¡± Ling Xuanwei nodded in response.


    ¡°I¡¯ll count to three, two, one.¡±


    ¡°Three, two, one!¡±


    Lu Linyan turned around. A terrifying wall of fire formed in front of him and flew towards the zombies. The high temperature flames distorted the air and disrupted his vision. At the same time, it could block the zombies¡¯ footsteps.


    However, not long after, under the cover of the soil, the flames were extinguished. However, because of the hot air, the dried soil was swept into the air, forming a dust barrier.


    Hearing the angry roars of the zombies behind him, Lu Linyan¡¯s lips curled up slightly. It seemed that he had succeeded.


    Boom, crack¡ª


    Lu Linyan looked back strangely. The ground had cracked. There was no doubt that this was the ability of the Earth-type zombie. It seemed like it had just learnt the skill. Were they so unlucky?


    ¡°I have to get out of its range quickly. I should be more than ten meters away!¡±


    However, the speed of the crack was too fast.


    ¡°It¡¯s too late.¡± Ling Xuanwei was in despair.


    It was too late. Could it be that her rebirth had ended just like that? She had only done a little of what she had planned to do. She was unwilling, but it seemed that this was the only way.


    Ling Xuanwei used her last special power and used her Psychic power to push Lu Linyan out of the range of the zombie¡¯s ability.


    ¡°Ling Xuanwei!!¡± Lu Linyan shouted anxiously.


    Ling Xuanwei staggered and fell to the ground. The corners of her eyes were a little red. She closed her eyes and thought to herself, Goodbye, Captain.


    Desperately, she waited for the crack to swallow her.


    Ling Xuanwei lay on the ground and waited to fall. Time passed minute by minute, but the crack actually stopped half a meter away from Ling Xuanwei.

 Chapter 10

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    What was going on? Wasn¡¯t this still within the range of the zombie¡¯s ability?


    The air was awkward for a few seconds.


    Yun You didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry as she watched from the shop. She couldn¡¯t tell if the domain around the shop had done a good thing or a bad thing.


    The tragic roars of zombies came from afar, and then they turned around and left.


    Lu Linyan quickly ran over from afar. Ling Xuanwei also hurriedly got up to tidy up her condition and immediately returned to her role as a strong Vice-captain.


    ¡°What happened?¡± Lu Linyan asked.


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure, but it shouldn¡¯t be anyone else who came to save us,¡± Ling Xuanwei replied.


    Because there was no one there at all, and there were no traces of anyone else fighting. As for the screams of the zombies, it was as if they had suddenly acted up.


    The two of them had a good understanding and did not mention anything about what had just happened. They pretended that nothing had happened.


    Ling Xuanwei looked at the place where the crack had stopped again and thought of the zombie¡¯s scream. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something unbelievable and her expression was a little surprised.


    As if searching for evidence, Ling Xuanwei looked forward. When she saw the corner of the intersection ahead, her mouth opened slightly and her eyes widened. She could not hide her surprise.


    Lu Linyan saw her expression and thought something was wrong. He followed her gaze and saw a shop at the crossroad that did not look like it was affected by the apocalypse.


    After the apocalypse, there was actually a shop in C City. How interesting. Lu Linyan thought to himself.


    However, what Lu Linyan did not know was that Ling Xuanwei was not surprised by this shop, but by the fact that she had seen this shop very late in her previous life. Now, she had actually found it here in advance.


    That¡¯s right, she had memories of her previous life.


    ¡°You know this shop?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I do.¡± It was because they knew each other that she was certain that the two of them were safe now.


    ¡°Do you want to take a look?¡± Lu Linyan asked.


    He did not ask how they met. Everyone had secrets, but he trusted Ling Xuanwei. When it was time for him to know, she would tell him.


    ¡°I want to take a look,¡± Ling Xuanwei replied. She wanted to see how different this life was from her previous life. Moreover, she could buy some things in the shop.


    At the same time, she did not find it strange that Lu Linyan did not ask her why. When she was supporting the Healing Element alone, Lu Linyan did not ask for the reason either.


    This was mutual trust. The time was not ripe yet. Even if she said it, it might just be a joke. When the time was right, she would tell him.


    Both of their abilities were empty now, and their stamina was almost exhausted. They looked at each other and smiled. They supported each other and walked towards the out of place shop.


    Yun You saw everything that happened outside through the glass. When they ran within a hundred meters of the shop, she already knew that the two of them were fine.


    Seeing the two of them walking towards Baiyun Youyou¡¯s shop, Yun You was a little excited.


    ¡°Is this my first guest coming? The reward for the novice mission is right in front of me!¡±


    ¡°Meow, what if they¡¯re here to rob us?¡± Big Orange couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°¡­ No matter how I look at it, he¡¯s from a big base. Why would he do such a tasteless thing?¡± Yun You didn¡¯t believe it. Moreover, with the shop¡¯s protection mechanism, she wasn¡¯t afraid.


    Big Orange rolled around and continued to catch up on sleep.


    ¡ª-


    Ling Xuanwei looked at the building in front of her. The pattern of white and blue intersected. The brand new wall formed a strong contrast with the dilapidated surrounding walls. Through the glass surface, she could see that the layout of the cafe inside was still the same as in her memory.


    Compared to Ling Xuanwei¡¯s relaxation, Lu Linyan was even more vigilant. No matter what reason it was, it was very strange for such a shop to exist in the apocalyptic world.


    The buildings were incompatible with the surrounding scenery, as if they had never been affected by the apocalypse. No matter how one looked at it, it was incongruous.


    Even though he trusted Ling Xuanwei unconditionally, no matter what this place was like, it was not wrong to be a little vigilant.


    5Just as Lu Linyan was about to open the door, the glass door of the shop opened from the inside. A figure in a light blue dress walked out and said with a smile, ¡°Welcome to White Clouds.¡±


    Judging from the expression of the person in front of him, he was undoubtedly in a good state. He looked full of vitality. In terms of appearance, his appearance was also impeccable. He was stunning at a glance and made people¡¯s eyes light up. The clean dress was enough to show that his living conditions were not bad.


    Although there was no evidence, no matter how Lu Linyan looked at it, his intuition told him that this person should not be an existence in the apocalypse. It was more like a life left behind before the apocalypse.


    However, he then shook his head. How could that be? Perhaps she was just the young lady of a large base and was well taken care of.


    Ling Xuanwei was also surprised. She was surprised that the shop owner at this moment was different from the ones she had seen in her previous life. To be precise, she had never seen this shop owner in her previous life.


    In her impression, the shop owner in her previous life was a man who had always been wearing a dark blue mask. The person in front of her was clearly a girl, and she seemed to be a little younger than her.


    Perhaps the shop in her previous life was like this at the beginning, but she did not know at that time.


    Yun You did not know what the two of them were thinking. Even if she knew, she would at most be curious about Ling Xuanwei¡¯s previous life.


    When they were about to enter the shop, Yun You opened the door with a professional smile to welcome them. At first glance, Yun You had to admit that she was stunned. The dust and some injuries on their bodies added to their sharpness and messy beauty.


    However, although she looked good, she did not receive any special treatment from Yun You. She treated all her guests equally.


    Yun You brought the two of them into the shop and looked at the empty scene in the shop. She suddenly remembered that her shop could not sell many things now. The supermarket had yet to open, and the drinks were only one of the signature drinks.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but because this shop has just opened for business, many goods and products haven¡¯t arrived in the shop yet, so the shop looks relatively empty now.¡±


    ¡°Most of the items are on the cabinet behind the front desk now. You can see if there¡¯s anything you need.¡±


    Yun You described the temporary state of the shop to them and pointed to the shelf behind the front desk. On it were the goods that Yun You had just placed. These goods were a small portion of the supplies that she had stored in the System Space.


    Lu Linyan looked at Ling Xuanwei beside him. His expression clearly indicated that he would listen to her.


    Ling Xuanwei looked at the bread, milk, and instant noodles on the shelf. It was probably noon now. She and Lu Linyan had been running for so long and were very tired. They were indeed a little hungry.

 Chapter 11

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ¡°Then let¡¯s tear the bag with two hands and milk! How many nucleis do you need?¡± Ling Xuanwei asked.


    ¡°Three Class 1 nucleis each for tearing a bag by hand and five Class 1 nucleis for milk. You¡¯re the first order in this shop with a 50% discount.¡±


    Yun You¡¯s tone was calm, but only she knew in her heart that it was a 50% discount! She felt a little heartache that half of it was gone in an instant. However, she had no choice. The price set by the system could not be changed.


    Ling Xuanwei handed over the nuclei and distributed the food to Lu Linyan. Then, she pulled him to a seat in the hall. Just as Ling Xuanwei was about to eat, Lu Linyan pulled her sleeve.


    Ling Xuanwei looked at him in confusion. What¡¯s wrong?


    After Lu Linyan met her eyes, he glanced at the food in his hand. Although he trusted Ling Xuanwei, he was still a little worried about the food.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the food is not poisonous. It¡¯s real and honest.¡±


    Yun You watched his small movements from the front desk and knew what he was worried about. She felt a little helpless. However, there was nothing she could do. Who asked her shop to have such a strange location?


    Lu Linyan looked a little embarrassed.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, he was just too cautious.¡± Ling Xuanwei apologized to Yun You.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright. In the apocalypse, it¡¯s good to be cautious,¡± Yun You replied.


    Ling Xuanwei patted Lu Linyan¡¯s hand and whispered to him, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, there¡¯s no problem. I can confirm that I know this shop. I guarantee that there¡¯s no problem with the things.¡±


    When she looked around just now, she saw the orange cat lying on the chair. It was the same as she remembered in her previous life. She was a little uncertain just now, but now she was completely sure.


    Lu Linyan nodded. He picked up the bag and tried it. It tasted good without any bitterness mixed in.


    Wait, there was no bitter taste. Was this unpolluted food from before the apocalypse?!


    He raised his head and looked at Ling Xuanwei. Ling Xuanwei, who had been stared at by him for a long time, finally reacted. This was the first time he had eaten the food in the shop, so he did not know that the food in the shop was all pollution-free.


    ¡°Yes, this shop should sell unpolluted food.¡±


    Oh my god! Which base¡¯s daughter would sell something so priceless? Lu Linyan couldn¡¯t help but sigh in his heart.


    After eating, the two of them planned to rest for a while before leaving.


    Looking at the two of them who were resting, Yun You patted her head and suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to promote the signature drink that she had just made.


    She pointed at the two fruit teas on the front table and shouted, ¡°Would the two of you like a cup of our shop¡¯s new signature fruit tea, ¡®Resuscitation¡¯? The price is one Level 3 nuclei.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no discount on this brand.¡±


    To be honest, even Yun You herself felt that a Level 3 nuclei was a little expensive for ordinary Level 2 and 3 ability users.


    When Ling Xuanwei heard this name, she was a little excited. The fruit tea could recover her exhausted ability and clear her mental exhaustion. It was also beneficial to the healing of her wounds.


    Lu Linyan was still thinking that it was a little expensive. The nuclei of a Level 3 zombie was still a little precious.


    At the side, Ling Xuanwei shouted, ¡°We¡¯ll take both of those cups.¡±


    Lu Linyan wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he did not stop her.


    Yun You was overjoyed. At first, she thought that the price of Level 3 zombie nuclei might make customers retreat. Buying one cup might be the limit. She didn¡¯t expect that the man would ask for two cups without asking. It was as if he knew that it was worth it.


    However, she did not say anything and handed over two cups of fruit tea.


    ¡°During the period between 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm, this shop is in a rest period and won¡¯t be open for business again. After you finish drinking the fruit tea, leave the cups on the table. After that, you can choose to stay in the shop to rest or leave.¡±


    ¡°Will do.¡±


    Yun You walked to another table, picked up Big Orange, who was lying on the ground, and turned to go upstairs. She and Han Qichuan had not eaten lunch yet!


    Lu Linyan took a sip of fruit tea. The natural fragrance of the fruit was crisp. When he bit into it, his mouth was filled with fragrance. The orange meat was full and juicy, and the pineapple was sour, sweet, and thick. Coupled with the harmonization of the tea and the unknown fresh green leaf, the fruit tea was still as unpolluted as the previous food. The taste was definitely flawless.


    Moreover, Lu Linyan could also feel that the exhaustion in his body was quickly recovering. He could not help but be shocked.


    There were too many good things in this shop!


    The corners of Lu Linyan¡¯s mouth curled up as he called out to the manager, who was about to step onto the stairs. ¡°Manager, there are so many good things in the shop. Aren¡¯t you afraid of being robbed or getting killed?¡±


    Ling Xuanwei, who was beside him, was stunned at first. Then, she smiled and shook her head before continuing to drink the fruit tea in her hand.


    Yun You also paused for a moment before replying with a smile, ¡°Thank you for the reminder. Our shop guarantees your safety in the shop. It¡¯s also safe again stealing or robbing. You don¡¯t have to worry. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can try it yourself.¡±


    After saying that, Yun You didn¡¯t delay any longer and walked straight upstairs.


    Of course, Lu Linyan would not be the one to steal it. He was just reminding her out of goodwill. Although he guessed that the Strength-type ability zombie was repelled because of the shop, the most dangerous thing in the apocalypse was not the zombies, but the human heart.


    However, since the store manager had already said so, he naturally wouldn¡¯t say anything else. To his surprise, the store actually guaranteed their absolute safety.


    ¡°This shop really has the ability,¡± Ling Xuanwei said to him.


    Although she didn¡¯t know much about the shop in her previous life, she knew this very well.


    ¡°Yes, we¡¯ll stay in the shop for now,¡± Lu Linyan replied. ¡°By the way, have you contacted the base?¡±


    ¡°Not yet. I¡¯ll contact right away.¡±


    Ling Xuanwei took out a device that looked like a walkie-talkie and fiddled with it for a while. In the end, the corners of her mouth twitched.


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    ¡°The call equipment is broken. It must have been broken when we were escaping.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll try mine.¡±


    Lu Linyan took out his equipment. There was a crack on it. The damage was obviously greater than the one in Ling Xuanwei¡¯s hand.


    ¡°Looks like we have to wait for them to find us, or we can go back ourselves later.¡± Lu Linyan gave Ling Xuanwei a polite but awkward smile.


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Upstairs, Yun You placed Big Orange on the sofa in the living room. There was no sign of Han Qichuan in the spacious living room. There was a high chance that he was still resting in his room. She planned to make lunch in the kitchen on the second floor first, mainly because she didn¡¯t want to eat dry bread.


    She made a simple lunch of stir-fried shredded meat, cabbage, and egg soup, enough for two people and a cat . Fortunately, Big Orange was not an ordinary cat and did not need special food. At most, she added a little dried fish, which saved her a lot of trouble.


    Forty minutes later, lunch was done.


    Yun You clapped her hands and thought to herself, ¡°I still feel a sense of accomplishment when I cook.¡±


    Yun You placed the dishes on the table. Big Orange, who had smelled the fragrance of the dishes, had already pulled out its exclusive napkin from the system space and wrapped it around its chest. It jumped onto the chair and waited for the meal to begin.


    ¡°You¡¯re the fastest when it¡¯s meal time.¡± Yun You patted Big Orange¡¯s head.


    ¡°Fresh food is always better than dried kibble.¡±


    Yun You smiled and went to her room to call Han Qichuan.


    ¡°Han Qichuan, come out for lunch.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Han Qichuan¡¯s voice was low.


    She pushed open the door and the first thing she saw was Han Qichuan¡¯s half-exposed body with his back facing her. Although she had seen it once before, Yun You¡¯s face still blushed slightly and she wanted to touch it!


    Calm down, what are you thinking about? Yun You quickly calmed down, and her resistance rose.


    When Yun You saw what Han Qichuan was doing, she was shocked!


    He was actually¡­

 Chapter 12

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Watch cartoons?!


    Or was it a bear?!


    She really liked to watch it too. Hehe!


    However, was that the main point? That was not the main point. In the past few hours of contact, Han Qichuan had not smiled much. Even when he was unconscious, his face was tense and he looked more serious. She had thought that he might like a more serious channel.


    A natural smile appeared on Han Qichuan¡¯s face. This was the first time Yun You had seen Han Qichuan smile. It had to be said that Han Qichuan¡¯s smile stunned Yun You for a second.


    ¡°Your smile is so beautiful. Why don¡¯t you smile more?¡±


    ¡°Huh? Really?¡± Han Qichuan¡¯s expression had already become as serious as before. This expression was as if he was being interrogated.


    ¡°Come, smile.¡± Yun You revealed a dazzling smile.


    She was very beautiful, like a pearl at night. This was Han Qichuan¡¯s first impression.


    ¡°Hey, don¡¯t just look at me. I¡¯m asking you to smile,¡± Yun You said helplessly.


    ¡°Mm, okay.¡± Han Qichuan seemed to have just reacted. Then, he forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.


    ¡°Pfft!¡± Yun You held her forehead and laughed so hard that she could not straighten her back. ¡°Alright, alright. Let¡¯s hurry up and eat.¡± She was afraid that she would laugh and lie down.


    ¡°My clothes aren¡¯t dry.¡± Han Qichuan frowned.


    ¡°Hm¡ªwe¡¯ll be eating upstairs. There¡¯s no one else.¡±


    At the table, Han Qichuan sat down. Just as he picked up the food to eat, Yun You, who was sitting at the side, asked with shining eyes, ¡°How does it taste?¡±


    This wasn¡¯t Yun You¡¯s first time cooking, but it was the first time someone else had eaten it. Even her brother hadn¡¯t eaten it before. Of course, Big Orange didn¡¯t count. This guy wasn¡¯t picky about food.


    ¡°Delicious.¡±


    This was Han Qichuan¡¯s true thoughts. He didn¡¯t have any pleasantries. Although it was just home-cooked food, he felt that it had been a long time since he had eaten such normal food, even if he was still in a state of amnesia.


    ¡°Then eat more. Come, Big Orange, eat more too.¡±


    Originally, Yun You wanted to serve food to Han Qichuan, but she was afraid that Han Qichuan would be embarrassed, so she forcefully gave it to Big Orange.


    Seeing Yun You pick up food for Big Orange, Han Qichuan didn¡¯t realize that there was a trace of disappointment in his eyes.


    This lunch did not last long. When it ended, the dishes on the table were basically empty.


    Yun You usually could only eat one bowl, so she added a little more. There was no other reason. She just looked at Han Qichuan¡¯s figure and ate.


    Yun You was about to clear the table, but she was a step slower than Han Qichuan.


    ¡°I¡¯ll do it.¡±


    Han Qichuan thought that since he was staying here temporarily, he could more or less help.


    Yun You thought about it and handed the task to him. This bit of work shouldn¡¯t tire him out. She was also happy to be free.


    ¡°Let me try making dinner too.¡±


    ¡°You know how to cook?¡± Yun You was a little surprised.


    ¡°I don¡¯t remember.¡±


    ¡°?¡±


    ¡®If you don¡¯t remember, then you can cook?¡¯


    ¡°Subconsciously, I feel that this matter has left a deep impression on me.¡±


    Yun You pondered for a moment. Cooking was not a dangerous thing. Since Han Qichuan had said so, it might really be because he liked to cook. She could let him try. The most likely possibility was that it would taste a little bad.


    ¡°Alright then. I¡¯m going to take a nap. I¡¯ll leave it to you.¡± Yun You patted Han Qichuan¡¯s shoulder.


    ¡°Ok.¡±


    After more than ten minutes, Han Qichuan cleared all the dishes and entered the hall from the kitchen on the second floor. When he saw Yun You sleeping soundly on the sofa, he couldn¡¯t help but lighten his footsteps.


    The time was 1:20 PM.


    The sofa was leaning against the glass wall. The sunlight passed through the wall and left a bright spot on the floor. As time passed, the light and shadow had already moved to Yun You¡¯s black hair, refracting a dazzling luster.


    Yun You¡¯s sleeping posture had always been very good. When she fell asleep, she almost did not move. At this moment, her breathing was even. In her arms, she was hugging Big Orange, who was curled up like a ball and was also sleeping soundly. She was peaceful and quiet like a moving painting, completely unaware that the sun was about to reach her.


    Han Qichuan walked over and closed the curtain halfway, blocking the scorching sunlight. Only when he was done did he realize what he had done.


    He looked at Yun You, who was sleeping, and his eyes were a little confused. He did not know why. Perhaps it was because she had saved him!


    Han Qichuan sat on the other sofa and let the sunlight shine on him. He looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window and turned to look at Yun You, who was sleeping soundly.


    In this chaotic apocalypse, he actually felt that time was peaceful.


    Recalling everything that had happened since he woke up, he suddenly felt that there was no hurry to recover his memories.


    Time passed quickly. It was almost two o¡¯clock in the blink of an eye.


    [Beep¡ª System Notification: The shop is about to open for business.]


    The voice sounded in her mind. Without any surprise, Yun You was woken up. Big Orange was not spared either. The difference was that Big Orange could continue sleeping after a while.


    Yun You stood up and briefly tidied her hair and clothes. Big Orange shook its fur and prepared to go downstairs.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to sleep for a while?¡± Yun You saw Han Qichuan sitting at the side.


    ¡°Yes, in a while.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll go down first. Don¡¯t worry about the memories. Perhaps there will be a way later.¡±


    Han Qichuan nodded, indicating that he had heard.


    ¡°Oh, right. Your clothes should be dry. Remember to get them yourself later.¡±


    Yun You continued. After all, it didn¡¯t seem good to keep him naked.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    After giving her instructions, Yun You turned around and went downstairs. There might be two customers waiting downstairs, but she didn¡¯t know if they would still buy anything.


    Big Orange followed behind. It planned to go down and sleep again.


    Downstairs, while Yun You was taking an afternoon nap, Lu Linyan and Ling Xuanwei had already analyzed the geographical location of this place and the best route back to the base.


    Nowadays, high-level zombies were actually very rare. Moreover, their main activity was near the center of the city. They had seen two at once today. Their luck was really bad.


    ¡°Boss, can you buy another Revival?¡± Lu Linyan asked. The effect of this fruit tea was very good. When he finished drinking it, he already felt that his ability had completely recovered and his fatigue was swept away.


    ¡°This, no. The signature beverage is limited to one per person per day.¡±


    Ling Xuanwei was also a little surprised, mainly because she had not encountered the situation of buying again before.


    ¡°Then give me some bread and other convenience food.¡± Lu Linyan did not insist and settled for the next best thing. There was another reason. He had just counted the nucleis with Ling Xuanwei. There was only one Level 3 nuclei left, and they had only obtained it today.


    These were all for the team members.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    Just as Yun You was about to pack them up, the voices of others came from outside the door.


    ¡°Why is there a shop here?¡± A cold female voice sounded.


    Lu Linyan and Ling Xuanwei tensed up and entered a battle-ready state. This was a characteristic of the apocalypse.


    They could not be sure if the person was a friend or foe.

 Chapter 13

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Yun You was different from the two of them. She was actually quite happy that she had a new customer.


    The door opened and a woman with a cold face entered. She was wearing a long white coat and seemed to have just come down from a research lab. Her eyes were as cold and calm as her temperament that didn¡¯t change because she was in an unknown place.


    ¡°Lu Linyan, Ling Xuanwei, why are you here?¡± When she saw her acquaintances, a ripple appeared in her eyes.


    Lu Linyan? Ling Xuanwei? Hearing these two names, Yun You¡¯s eyes moved slightly. So that¡¯s their names. Why did she feel like she had heard it somewhere before?


    Where was it?


    When they realized that it was someone they knew, Lu Linyan and Ling Xuanwei heaved a sigh of relief.


    ¡°He Linbing, why are you here alone? Didn¡¯t I tell you that this place is dangerous? Why did your base bring researchers like you here?¡± Ling Xuanwei asked.


    The person who came was He Linbing, a researcher from Cang Qing Base, which was the same as their Dragon Might Base. Just like her name, she looked cold.


    He Linbing was not an ability user. She was just an ordinary person. She was researching weapons in Cang Qing Base for the defense of the apocalypse base. This research was very important. In this zombie-infested world, if the defense was broken, they would almost be wiped out.


    In Ling Xuanwei¡¯s impression in her previous life, He Linbing had died from the zombie virus. The time and place were in C City, but she did not know the details.


    ¡°I¡¯m not alone. Cheng Jun is following behind. This time, we¡¯re mainly here to test the actual combat data of the weapon.¡±


    In this situation, Ling Xuanwei could not persuade her to go back. She could only say, ¡°Then you have to be careful yourself. Also, our team has a Level 3 healer. If there¡¯s a problem, remember to look for us quickly.¡±


    If He Linbing was still alive, would they not have been wiped out?


    He Linbing nodded and did not speak.


    The news of a Level 3 healer healing a zombie was spread from Dragon Might Base. However, the news was very credible since currently only Dragon Might had a Level 3 healing ability user.


    ¡°Come, the things you two want are ready.¡± At this moment, Yun You packed the things and handed them to them.


    ¡°Thank you,¡± Ling Xuanwei replied and paid a few Level 2 nucleis.


    The two of them prepared to leave. It had been a long time. The base might be very anxious now.


    Ling Xuanwei said goodbye to He Linbing. ¡°We have to leave first. See you next time.¡±


    ¡°Go back quickly. Your base has already searched everywhere. The news has already reached our base.¡±


    ¡°The approximate location. I sent it back. They might be here in a while.¡±


    He Linbing smiled. When she found them, she had already informed the base their location.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Ling Xuanwei also smiled.


    As they were about to leave.


    ¡°Hey, why are the two of you here? Didn¡¯t you say that you encountered a high-level zombie? From the looks of it, you don¡¯t seem to have escaped death?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    The person who came was Cheng Jun, who was protecting He Linbing. His red hair was especially eye-catching.


    ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s not care about that. Since we¡¯re in good condition, it¡¯s not easy for us to meet. Why don¡¯t we spar?¡±


    Both of them had fire power. In their respective bases, their statuses were relatively high. The difference in levels had always the point of contention. Therefore, every time they met, they wanted to compete.


    Before Lu Linyan could refuse, Cheng Jun was already prepared to attack. Lu Linyan had no choice but to prepare.


    He Linbing could feel her veins throbbing. This was someone else¡¯s shop! She was about to call out to Cheng Jun when she heard him scream in surprise.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why can¡¯t I use my ability?¡±


    This was the first time Cheng Jun had encountered such a situation. He could clearly sense the existence of his ability, but he could not use it. He looked a little helpless.


    Lu Linyan also tried to use his ability. His ability was already fully recovered, but he still could not use it.


    Ling Xuanwei tugged at his sleeve. Lu Linyan suddenly realized that it might be related to this shop. There were too many magical things about this shop!


    As expected, the owner¡¯s voice came from behind.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but the shop prohibits the use of abilities. At the same time, sparring, fighting, and brawling are also prohibited.¡±


    In order to show off the store manager¡¯s aura, Yun You felt that she needed to hug something. Suddenly, she saw Big Orange sleeping alone by the window.


    [Big Orange, come quickly! It¡¯s your mission. I need you to hold the fort.]


    ¡°Meow!¡±


    Big Orange let out a helpless cry. What could it do with such a poop-picker? It could only go along with it!


    In everyone¡¯s view, the orange cat, who was sunbathing, suddenly let out a cry and jumped onto the front desk. Yun You stroked its fur and picked it up.


    ¡°A high-level ability user who can stop others?¡± Cheng Jun looked at Yun You warily. He subconsciously stood in front of He Linbing and prepared to attack.


    If it was a ability, his level had to be higher than his. He was already at the peak of Level 3, so this manager was at least at the peak of Level 4.


    Suddenly, Cheng Jun felt a pain in his head.


    ¡°Ouch! Who¡¯s the one who suffered a thousand cuts?¡±


    Cheng Jun held his head and screamed in exaggerated pain. He looked aggressively at the murderer behind him. When he saw who it was, he immediately fell silent.


    ¡°So¡­ so it¡¯s me, hehe.¡± Cheng Jun raised his fist and gently punched himself twice.


    Yun You, who was watching from the sidelines, was speechless.


    He Linbing relaxed her fists and felt a headache coming on. She sighed softly and said calmly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay,¡± Yun You said with a smile. Then, she looked at Cheng Jun, who looked aggrieved. ¡°Do I look like a bad person? I¡¯m just an ordinary store manager, here to do business. If you don¡¯t believe me, ask the two people behind me.¡±


    The two of them lifted the environmental pocket in their hands. Ling Xuanwei also smiled. ¡°You might be able to find a surprise after buying it.¡±


    After that, Ling Xuanwei and Lu Linyan left and said goodbye, ¡°We¡¯ll leave first. The person who came to look for us should be very close. Manager, see you next time.¡±


    ¡°Good-bye.¡±


    Beside He Linbing, Cheng Jun was still mumbling to himself, ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s f*cking normal, but I want to see what surprises there are after buying something.¡±


    ¡°He Linbing, we¡¯ll buy it too.¡±


    ¡°Huh? Okay.¡± He Linbing, who was about to buy some bread, was a little confused by Cheng Jun¡¯s sudden change. She thought that Cheng Jun would resist, although it was useless.


    ¡°What can I get you?¡±


    ¡°I want that bread and instant noodles¡­¡±


    A few minutes later.


    Cheng Jun carried his big bag and walked beside He Linbing.


    He Linbing looked at Cheng Jun. She felt that he was staring at her pocket as if he was an enemy with a deep hatred.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t I do it?¡±


    ¡°No, shouldn¡¯t I be the one doing this?¡±


    Cheng Jun was no longer staring at the pocket. He turned his gaze to the front. His seemingly normal arm and slightly twitching eyes betrayed him.


    His heart ached. It was a Level 3 nuclei! It was not easy for him to obtain it, this black-hearted merchant.


    Actually, the price was very reasonable, but who asked him to buy so much?


    ¡°¡­Alright.¡±


    He Linbing was helpless. She had planned to pay for it, but he insisted.


    In the shop, the system collected the nucleis and exchanged them for system coins, which was a total of 350 coins.


    Level 3: 100, Level 2: 10, Level 1: 1


    Two deals and she had 350 yuan. In addition to the 100 yuan that the system had given her previously, she now had 450 system coins. It seemed that it was not bad!


    Yun You thought happily in her heart. When Han Qichuan recovered his memories, she could go to the system shop. She wondered what good things the system would have.

 Chapter 14

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    On a street far away from White Clouds Shop.


    ¡°Captain, Vice-Captain!!¡± It was the team members who came with the support team. The three of them were worried.


    ¡°Are you hurt?¡±


    ¡°Why isn¡¯t there any news from directly you? To think we got it from Cang Qing.¡±


    ¡°Sister Wei, Captain, I was so worried about you!¡±


    ¡°Alright, we¡¯re fine.¡± Ling Xuanwei hugged the peach.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go! We¡¯ll talk when we get back,¡± Lu Linyan said.


    On the other side, Cheng Jun, who had returned to Cang Qing¡¯s camp, looked at the half-eaten bread in his hand in shock. He Linbing, who was drinking milk, shocked face was not inferior either. Her cold expression was shattered and was replaced by disbelief.


    Pure food without any pollution or impurities. This was more than just a surprise.


    ¡°Inform the leader that there might be a large-scale purchase.¡± He Linbing regained her composure.


    If they wanted to remove the contaminated impurities now, the cost would be very high. It was impossible for the base to move a lot of resources to specially deal with food. This was unrealistic. Moreover, they could not completely remove the impurities now.


    Generally speaking, removing all the impurities would do more harm than good. Therefore, the four bases discussed together to stabilize the price with the amount of impurities.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Cheng Duo said.


    He was suddenly in a good mood. It was simply too profitable to exchange a Level 3 nuclei for so many pure food.


    Time passed, and night fell.


    ¡°Looks like there are only two customers today. Sigh!¡±


    Yun You sat by the window and looked at the darkening sky. Her mood was a little gloomy.


    Initially, she was quite happy that there were customers after all. She had also completed the novice mission, but later on, she began to worry about the customer flow. Speaking of which, if it was an ordinary shop, it would definitely close down.


    Speaking of the novice mission, her novice gift bag had already arrived in her account. She had yet to open it.


    Just as Yun You was about to open it, an explosion sounded from afar.


    ¡°Hmm, there are explosions from time to time in the apocalypse? It¡¯s indeed a dangerous era.¡± Yun You shook her head and prepared to continue opening it.


    There was another explosion.


    This time, even Yun You felt a slight vibration. Big Orange, who was lying on the table, was shocked. It immediately jumped up and was in high spirits. It was no longer as lazy as before.


    Good lord, how powerful was this? Even the shop could sense it. Yun You didn¡¯t intend to pay attention to it, but suddenly, she smelled a burnt smell.


    ¡°What¡¯s this paste?¡± The smell seemed to be upstairs?


    Wait! Upstairs?!


    Yun You thought of a possibility.


    Ahhh!!!


    My kitchen!! Han Qichuan, what did you do?!


    Yun You immediately ran upstairs. Big Orange yawned and smacked his lips. He took out some dried fish from his interspace. ¡°Looks like dinner will be late tonight. Fortunately, I still have dried fish.¡±


    In the kitchen upstairs.


    It was a mess.


    The wall of the stove was blackened by the fire. The fire had been turned off, and the lid of the pressure cooker had fallen off at the kitchen door. The black unknown object in the iron pot was still emitting a choking charred smell. There was also some soup splashing everywhere in the kitchen.


    Han Qichuan stood quietly at the side. He held the spatula in his hand and looked at the soup all over his body. There were still a few vegetable leaves hanging from his hair. His expression was silent, but the evasion in his eyes revealed his panic.


    It was obvious that the pressure cooker had burst open. The stir-fried vegetable pot had burned, and in the end, the dishes had also carbonized.


    ¡°Are you injured?¡± Seeing Han Qichuan in such a sorry state, Yun You temporarily couldn¡¯t care less about the kitchen and was a little worried. How could a wounded person be so troublesome?


    Seeing Yun You appear at the door, the corners of Han Qichuan¡¯s mouth tightened. He frowned and his expression was serious. He looked like a ferocious god. Then, he faced Yun You and said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    ¡°I was going to make a dish and a soup.¡±


    In the end, he did not know that it would turn out like this.


    ¡°I¡¯m asking if you¡¯re hurt.¡±


    Han Qichuan was a little stunned and stared at Yun You blankly.


    Yun You sighed and went forward to check Han Qichuan¡¯s clothes.


    Han Qichuan wanted to stop Yun You from lifting his clothes, but Yun You glared at him and raised his hand into the air, not daring to move again. When Yun You lifted it up, Han Qichuan¡¯s ears subconsciously turned red.


    Han Qichuan¡¯s heart raced. He didn¡¯t even know why.


    His upper body was still scalded, and his skin was a little red and swollen. There were a few small blisters forming. It was not very serious. She just had to wash it with cold water and apply some ointment.


    Yun You was slightly relieved. After all, Han Qichuan was living here now, so she had to be responsible for his safety.


    He was still standing here fine. There was a high chance that he was not injured.


    Yun You put down his clothes without any hesitation. Although Han Qichuan had a good figure, no matter how good he was, he was not hers. She did not know which young lady would be so lucky to have him.


    ¡°I reacted quickly. I¡¯m not injured.¡± The moment the lid of the pressure cooker was burst open, he dodged. However, he was splashed by the soup.


    ¡°The burn wasn¡¯t an injury?¡±


    Yun You turned around and took out the ointment from her interspace. She handed it to him. ¡°Look at you. Hurry up and take a shower. After that, apply the ointment.¡±


    Han Qichuan took the ointment and nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll help you clean up.¡±


    Yun You waved her hand. ¡°No, go take a shower and apply your medicine.¡±


    Han Qichuan left, his back seemed a little lonely.


    Now that Yun You was alone in the kitchen, she shook her head. She was really impressed.


    As expected, she was too careless. She did not expect her to forget that an existence of kitchen killers had a deep impression of cooking.


    Poor her kitchen. Sigh! Fortunately, there was still the system. Other than a broken stove, the kitchen was not too badly damaged.


    In City C, a huge hole was blown in the temporary defense wall of the temporary base of Cang Qing. The members in the base quickly spread the news.


    ¡°Warning, enemy attack.¡±


    Everyone was ready to fight at this moment.


    He Linbing looked at the chaotic but orderly garrison. It seemed that she could not purchase anything for the time being. She turned around and went back to her residence to take out her weapon.


    She could try out the new weapon, the A7 Extreme Gas Cannon. This was the latest weapon researched to use abilities or nucleis to provide energy.


    No matter who it was, they had to pay the price.


    On the rooftop of a tall building in the distant city forest, a woman in a purple dress was facing the wind and tasting red wine, enjoying the flames of war in the distance.


    Footsteps sounded behind him.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? I don¡¯t remember your boss letting me participate in this operation.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m here to pass on the message. Boss said that we have to get the Prism Fruit. If it fails, you know what will happen.¡±


    The two people talking on the rooftop were Mei and Wang Tai.


    ¡°Got it. You can scram now.¡± Mei was still nonchalant.


    ¡°You¡­¡± Wang Tai¡¯s dark face was about to turn red from anger, but he couldn¡¯t win.


    Mei continued to taste the red wine and looked into the distance. When the red wine reached the bottom, she casually threw the glass down and killed a low-level zombie wandering at the bottom of the building.


    Mei chuckled. Worry? She had never been worried. She had never lost since the apocalypse. Hehe, how could she fail?

 Chapter 15

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Cang Qing Base Station.


    ¡°How¡¯s the situation?¡± He Linbing had already carried the weapon that was still in the experimental stage and arrived at the gap. She patted the team member beside her who was fully prepared.


    ¡°There¡¯s no time to repair it. There¡¯s already a large number of zombies surrounded outside and they¡¯re about to rush over. The leader and the people with great lethality are already confronting each other in front and are about to start a battle.¡±


    ¡°What we have to do now is to cover fire. Also, the leader wants us to save as much ammunition as possible.¡±


    The team member explained. His eyes were still fixed on the battlefield that was about to start, and he did not notice He Linbing beside him.


    He Linbing closed her eyes and thought for a few seconds. She understood what the leader was doing.


    They were here for the mission, and the base had only sent 20 people. The camp outside was a small temporary residence, and the defensive wall was only enough to block ordinary zombies.


    It was the same for the base in C City. After all, they were still in the perimeter5, and their ultimate goal was the Prism Fruit and the supplies in C City. This means they had to infiltrate in.


    And this also meant that the current camp could be abandoned at any time.


    However, the base had been destroyed and there were zombies surrounding it. It could not be repaired immediately. 20 people had evacuated, but the supplies and other things that could not be moved in time would definitely be ruined.


    It was not as good as some of the stronger ability users stalling to give those Earth-type ability users more time to repair the structure.


    Bullets were consumables, and they were still lethal to Level 2 and Level 3 zombies. Level 4 zombies can also seriously injured between the eyebrows. Now, very few zombies in the world had evolved to Level 4. Level 5 zombies were all Zombie Kings.


    Therefore, the bullets would be of great use when they entered the city.


    He Linbing looked at the surrounding zombies. Most of them were ordinary zombies. There were only a small number of Level 1 zombies, and there were only a few Level 2 and 3 zombies.


    It was not a big problem, but why was there a big hole in the defensive wall? It should not be possible to be done from the outside. Unless the few Level 2 and Level 3 zombies joined forces, but Level 2 and Level 3 zombies were not so smart, it should be impossible.


    She looked at the weapon in her hand. Although she had not finished testing it, she believed that the effect was definitely not bad.


    ¡°Researcher He, why are you here?¡± Just as the team member was about to remind the people beside him that the battle was about to begin, he turned around and realized that it was He Linbing.


    This shocked the team member. He was the only ordinary person in their team, but this ordinary person was too important. At this moment, he came to such a dangerous place.


    ¡°Hurry up and go back. This place is too dangerous. You shouldn¡¯t be here.¡± The young man¡¯s tone became serious.


    ¡°I¡¯m here to test my weapon.¡± He Linbing¡¯s expression did not change. She was calm and did not care at all.


    Her original mission was to observe actual combat data. She could not hide at the back all the time. This was an opportunity.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me. I know what I¡¯m doing. We¡¯re going to fight. Be careful.¡± Her tone was calm, but it was convincing.


    The young man nodded and focused his attention outside again.


    The battle was about to begin.


    In White Clouds Shop.


    After cleaning up the kitchen and preparing dinner again, Yun You sat at the dining table and faced the food. However, she really did not want to move.


    ¡°You guys eat first. I¡¯ll rest for a while.¡±


    At this moment, Han Qichuan was a little embarrassed to move again. After all, he was still the main culprit. However, he did not expect that his deep impression stem from being a kitchen killer.


    He apologized again dryly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Guilt appeared on his usually deep and cold face.


    ¡°Meow!¡± Big Orange meowed and continued eating.


    Forget it, I should eat now! Otherwise, this guy will definitely wait, Yun You thought in her heart.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. It¡¯s not your fault that you lost your memory. There¡¯s nothing wrong with the kitchen. Alright, let¡¯s hurry up and eat! The food won¡¯t taste good when it¡¯s cold.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Han Qichuan replied dully.


    After the meal, Han Qichuan was still fighting to wash the dishes, as if he wanted to make up for the trouble he had caused.


    Yun You lay on the sofa and stroked her cat as she looked at the moon outside.


    They had been together for almost a day. After this short period of time, Yun You had a preliminary impression of Han Qichuan. He didn¡¯t talk much, didn¡¯t like to smile, wasn¡¯t good at expressing himself, liked animation, and the one who left the deepest impression was the Kitchen Killer.


    Thinking of this, Yun You still felt a lingering fear. Fortunately, she was not injured. The power of the pressure cooker¡¯s explosion could not be underestimated. She could not let him approach the kitchen in the future.


    Yun You flipped over and faced the ceiling. She raised Big Orange and squish it to calm her nerves. She had to admit that Big Orange¡¯s touch was really soothing.


    She wondered what his personality was like before he lost his memory.


    ¡°Meow! Put me down quickly,¡± Big Orange said unhappily.


    ¡°Haha, I¡¯m not letting go.¡±


    ¡°Meow! Aren¡¯t you going to open your novice gift bag?¡± Big Orange struggled and meowed.


    ¡°Oh, right. I almost forgot.¡±


    Putting down Big Orange, Big Orange escaped from Yun You¡¯s clutches as soon as it touched the ground. It scurried to the other side of the sofa and tidied its messy fur with a bitter expression.


    Yun You¡¯s slender fingers slid through the air and pulled out the system interface.


    [Manager: Yun You


    Items: Energy Shield x2, Boxed Special Poker x1

    (Two-thirds completed)


    Note: Detected that members have not completed the initial mission. Some functions and items of the system will not be activated. Please complete it as soon as possible.]


    Beep!


    [System: Novice Gift Bag detected. Do you want to open it?]


    Yun You clicked Yes.


    System: Reward received. Storybook x1. Poker Master Ability Experience duration: 1 day.


    Storybook?!


    Could this be the storybook she was thinking about? Why was there such a novice gift bag? Could it be that it was specially sent to her to prevent her from being bored in the apocalypse?!


    That shouldn¡¯t be the case. The system wouldn¡¯t scam newbies like this, right?


    She could still understand the duration of the poker master¡¯s ability experience. This might be some kind of cultivation technique that could allow her to protect herself in the apocalypse.


    Big Orange, who was still tidying its fur, saw Yun You opening the gift bag with a look of disbelief. It leaned over curiously.


    ¡°Meow, what¡¯s wrong?¡± His amber cat eyes were filled with curiosity.


    Yun You turned her head stiffly and looked at Big Orange.


    Big Orange knew that this was bad.


    As expected, before he could run, he was scooped up again.


    ¡°Meow, let go of me!¡±


    Yun You lowered her head and took a deep breath of Big Orange. She finally calmed down.


    Perhaps this book only had a name and might have a special use.


    ¡°Meow, storybook?¡± Big Orange was also in disbelief.


    However, it quickly shook its cat head. ¡°Meow, it shouldn¡¯t be as simple as it looks. Wouldn¡¯t you know if you take it out and take a look? You still need me to remind you.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    She was about to take it out to take a look when this fellow came. He actually dared to mock her. Let¡¯s see if she won¡¯t pull it bald in the future.


    She clicked on it.


    A ball of light appeared in front of her. Yun You stretched out her hand and caught it. The light dust dissipated, and an ancient kraft paper book appeared in her hand. Its heavy and solemn aura seemed to have crossed the river of time. It had experienced the baptism of time and recorded a long history. On the brown cover, there were three golden words¡ªStory Book.

 Chapter 16

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Facing this book, Yun You¡¯s expression could not help but become serious. She had the urge to lock herself in for three days just to study the book. She couldn¡¯t help it. This book gave her the feeling that it recorded many unknown secrets, like a watchman of an era.


    Big Orange¡¯s expression also became serious. Its cat eyes narrowed slightly, and it no longer lazed around like before. Its sharp eyes stared at the book in Yun You¡¯s hand.


    It had a very strong feeling that this book was very related to it. It was as if this book was here because of it, but it was certain that this was the first time it had seen this book.


    Yun You flipped to the first page, and the girl and cat held their breaths.


    On the first page was a jumping number. It read:


    At 12:00:00, the function was activated.


    11:59:59


    58, 57, 56¡­


    The man and cat who surrounded the book without blinking, afraid that they would miss the exciting moment: ¡°¡­¡±


    They had been excited for nothing.


    ¡°Meow, whose design is this? This kind of gift bag actually has a cooldown countdown. Meow, it¡¯s ridiculous!¡± Big Orange rubbed its claws in frustration.


    Yun You exhaled. ¡°Phew, alright, don¡¯t grab the sofa. Won¡¯t we know what this is tomorrow?¡±


    At this moment, Han Qichuan, who had finished washing the dishes, came out. He happened to see Big Orange rolling on the sofa with a meow. It could be seen that he was in a bad mood.


    He looked at Yun You in confusion.


    Understanding the meaning in his eyes, Yun You smiled and explained, ¡°It got offended by a book. Let it play for a while.¡±


    Big Orange¡¯s dissatisfied voice became louder.


    ¡°Hey, hey, you can roll around, but you can¡¯t scratch the sofa.¡±


    In Cang Qing¡¯s camp.


    The battle had long ended. The low-level zombies did not break through the defense line at all under the obstruction of the offense-ability users. A few who broke through died under the subsequent defense line.


    As soon as the defensive wall was repaired, the members immediately retreated, leaving only a group of zombies screaming outside. After finding nothing, they left one by one.


    He Linbing did not know if she should be happy or not. She wanted to test the new weapon, but after thinking about it, everyone¡¯s safety was the most important.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. The leader called us over for a meeting.¡± Cheng Jun patted He Linbing.


    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go,¡± He Linbing replied.


    In a temporary house.


    Other than the people who are on standby duty, the rest were all present.


    ¡°What is everyone¡¯s opinion on today¡¯s attack?¡± A middle-aged man in his thirties said.


    This person was the leader of this operation. He was a mid-stage Level 3 ability user and was not the highest-level member of this operation. Although it was not high, in this situation where even Level 4 was very rare, his strength was enough.


    Moreover, his qualifications were enough to convince people. He had gone on many missions. In the beginning, he, who was at Level 2, had killed Level 3 mutant plants.


    ¡°This must be man-made. It¡¯s impossible for the zombies outside to break our defense.¡±


    ¡°I agree too. Moreover, there was a group of zombies surrounding it as soon as it was broken. It¡¯s obvious that someone lured it over.¡±


    ¡°However, why would someone so that? Those zombies are not our match at all. They can¡¯t even exhaust our combat strength.¡±


    ¡°Good point.¡±


    ¡­


    After the final discussion of the search route, everyone dispersed.


    ¡°After that, everyone, be careful when you move during the day.¡± The leader was still a little worried and said, ¡°There might be another attack tonight. Be careful.¡±


    They left the temporary meeting room.


    He Linbing¡¯s right eye kept twitching, and she felt uneasy.


    ¡°Hey! What¡¯s wrong? You don¡¯t look very well.¡± Cheng Jun jumped out from behind He Linbing and circled her twice. He touched his chin and said suspiciously, ¡°You¡¯re not scared, are you?¡±


    He Linbing rolled her eyes and ignored him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t go! Alright, alright. I was just joking. What¡¯s wrong?¡± Cheng Jun said seriously.


    He Linbing stopped in her tracks. ¡°I¡¯m feeling a little uneasy. I feel like something bad is going to happen.¡±


    In an underground laboratory in the apocalypse.


    A black shadow flashed into the laboratory.


    ¡°How¡¯s the situation?¡±


    ¡°Just as we planned, Cang Qing¡¯s people are starting to be vigilant.¡±


    ¡°Then, let¡¯s move!¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    In the laboratory, the man in the white coat stopped observing the microscope, took off his gloves, and walked to another room to rest.


    He closed his eyes and smiled. He hoped that Cang Qing¡¯s people wouldn¡¯t waste his reminder. He had to use his strongest combat power! He also wanted to test the quality of his products.


    In Cang Qing¡¯s camp.


    Boom¡ª


    With a loud bang, the wall collapsed again. It was in the same position and shape, and the intention was very obvious.


    ¡°F*ck.¡± The staff on duty couldn¡¯t help but curse.


    ¡°Warning, enemy attack.¡±


    Listening to the commotion outside, He Linbing said, ¡°They¡¯re indeed here.¡±


    Roar¡ª


    An earth-shattering roar sounded.


    In White Clouds store.


    Because she was bored, Yun You was playing chess with Han Qichuan while Big Orange sat at the side and watched the game.


    Because Han Qichuan had never played before, he was tortured by Yun You. Seeing that Han Qichuan¡¯s face was getting darker and darker, Yun You secretly let him win two rounds.


    Just as he was in the mood, the noise outside came.


    [Speaking of which, why are they fighting again?] Yun You complained to Big Orange.


    [Meow, you¡¯re asking me. I don¡¯t know either? This is the first time I¡¯ve followed you here. Perhaps the apocalypse is like this.] Big Orange tilted its head and watched the game.


    At this moment, Han Qichuan suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice, his eyes dark.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Yun You asked curiously.


    Big Orange also tilted its head and looked at him.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know. That voice sounds so familiar.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll go over there and take a look,¡± Han Qichuan replied. He stood up and prepared to go downstairs.


    ¡°Wait, you haven¡¯t recovered from your injuries?¡± Yun You grabbed his sleeve.


    ¡°It¡¯s a small injury.¡± Han Qichuan broke free. His expression was serious and he frowned slightly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me. I should be very good at fighting.¡±


    Han Qichuan turned around and ran, leaving behind one last sentence. ¡°Don¡¯t come. It¡¯s dangerous.¡±


    When Yun You chased after him downstairs, Han Qichuan had already opened the shop door and run away.


    ¡°¡­¡±


    She really did not know who was the injured one here.


    She briefly thought about whether what was left in the system could guarantee his safety.


    ¡®I don¡¯t think I can be sure?¡¯


    Forget it, she believed in the system¡¯s quality.


    Yun You shouted at Big Orange, who had followed her, ¡°Big Orange, you remember the scent, right? Hurry up and lead the way.¡±


    ¡°Are you sure you want to go?¡± Big Orange was puzzled.


    ¡°Of course. The starting mission has already ran off.¡±


    ¡°Meow, let¡¯s go.¡±


    Big Orange ran forward.


    Yun You closed the shop door and chased after Big Orange.


    A human and a cat ran towards that dangerous place.

 Chapter 17

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    In Cang Qing¡¯s camp.


    ¡°This wall was definitely blown apart.¡±


    ¡°Who the hell is it?¡±


    The defensive wall shattered again, and dust flew. All the members were urgently mobilized and prepared to fight.


    The terrifying roar indicated that they were definitely not facing ordinary humans. Perhaps it was zombies or other mutated creatures. Regardless, they were not friendly.


    Who lured them here? Who was the mastermind? This question floated in everyone¡¯s hearts. This feeling of having a faceless enemy made them feel oppressed, angry, and uneasy, as if they were in a fog.


    There were only roars from outside, but they did not attack for a long time. The dust had already descended, and their vision was about to become clearer. This was also more conducive to those in battle.


    ¡°Why do you think they didn¡¯t attack? They clearly had the upper hand just now.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure. I feel like they want us to be prepared?¡±


    ¡°No way! Logically speaking, don¡¯t those monsters bite anyone they see? Why would they wait?¡±


    ¡°Then what¡¯s the situation now?¡±


    The discussion did not go on for long. Through the dust, they saw pairs of strange green eyes. Every gaze was as fierce as a hungry wolf staring at a lamb.


    These were not the eyes of a normal person, nor were they the eyes of a zombie.


    ¡°What kind of monster is this?¡±


    No one knew.


    However, when the dust completely calmed down, the scene finally became clear. The outside was surrounded by a cage that was so dark that it was shining under the moonlight. The creatures with green eyes were locked inside.


    It had many eyes and sharp claws. Some of them had thick fur and some were covered in scales. Its entire body was swollen and secreted this smelly mucus. It was roaring with the excitement of seeing food.


    Those in Cang Qing base could not help but feel a chill in their hearts. They were indeed decisive in mobilizing the ability users they had.


    ¡°A mutant? Someone is actually still doing this experiment!¡± He Linbing was in disbelief, and the shock on her face was obvious.


    She knew about this monster because the old professor from Cang Qing Base had received an invitation to do human mutation experiments. The invitee had also sent some preliminary experiment images and a list of numbers. Some images were 80% similar to the monster in front of her.


    However, there were still many flaws at that time.


    The old professor directly refused, saying that it was against morals and human nature. He also persuaded the invitee to give up on the experiment, but to no avail.


    Later, when the base searched for more people, they found too many missing people. After investigation, they finally found the laboratory. The four bases joined forces and destroyed it.


    He thought that it would end here, but he did not expect these monsters to appear again. Moreover, it was obvious that these were not the half-finished products from before.


    In a corner of an abandoned building in the distance.


    A figure was facing Cang Qing and the others. He was holding a palm-sized mechanical cube in his hand, and there was a communication device beside his ear.


    A voice came from the communication device.


    ¡°Action.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    He pressed the button on the black square.


    Creak¡ª


    The iron cage opened.


    Accompanied by excited roars, the monsters rushed forward.


    ¡°Everyone, be careful. Prepare for battle.¡±


    The defense and attack were the same as before, but the level of the opponent this time was unknown.


    ¡°Be careful!¡±


    Seeing that a member who was fighting was no match for the monster and was thrown to the ground, the mutated creature, whose saliva was flying everywhere, pounced on it. Its mouth full of sharp teeth opened wide, as if it wanted to devour it in one bite.


    The fallen members were so heavily injured that they could not even activate their abilities again. They were about to die in the mouth of the monster.


    Whoosh¡ª


    The bullet hit the monster¡¯s chest, and the members who had lost their ability to fight quickly retreated to the back under the cover of fire.


    Yellow-green liquid kept flowing out of the monster¡¯s chest. The monster turned around and stopped again. In a breath, the wound healed visibly.


    ¡°What¡­ what kind of monster is this?¡± There was actually panic in his voice. Could they really fight this monster with self-healing and regeneration ability?


    These mutants were equivalent to early-stage Level 3 zombies!


    ¡°Ao, Roar¡ª¡± With an angry roar, the monster suddenly broke through the first line of defense with its explosive speed and ran in the direction of its attack.


    Cheng Jun wanted to defend, but he was entangled by the three in front of him. However, for some reason, he did not fight head-on.


    ¡°Defend with firepower, defend!¡±


    The dense trajectories left holes in the monster¡¯s body one after another, but it did not seem to be affected at all. Its speed did not decrease, and it was about to rush into the damaged defensive wall in the next second.


    They couldn¡¯t stop him anymore!


    Boom¡ª


    Flames shot out without any warning. Flames were the nemesis of such mutants. Facing the high-temperature, half of their bodies turned to charcoal within three seconds. They froze for half a second and fell to the ground without moving.


    He Linbing stood in front with a gun barrel on her shoulder. She wiped the sweat off her forehead with one hand.


    The weapon was still in the experimental stage. There was a problem with the activation just now, so she had no choice but to stop to check and repair it. Fortunately, she made it in time.


    ¡ª-


    ¡°Big Orange, wheeze¡­ How far away are we?¡± Yun You panted.


    ¡°Meow, I¡¯m not sure.¡± Big Orange stopped and turned around to look at Yun You, who was leaning against the wall.


    ¡°Oh my god! Is this still the stamina of a normal person?¡± She should have run at least 5km, and she wasn¡¯t even jogging. The reason why she could keep up until now was because of her athletic abilities.


    However, from the looks of it, this bit of physical fitness was not enough in the apocalypse.


    What Yun You didn¡¯t know was that her physical fitness was actually not bad in the apocalypse, but Han Qichuan¡¯s situation was special.


    ¡°No, let¡¯s follow them by walking. I really can¡¯t run anymore.¡± Yun You placed her hands on her hips and panted for a while. She waved her hand and said to Big Orange.


    When Han Qichuan rushed out, Yun You was in a hurry. She did not even have time to change out of her clothes. She had run for so long in her dress and white shoes without a care for her image. She had already reached her limit.


    Big Orange thought for a moment and sniffed the air again.


    ¡°Meow, the smell is getting closer. He should have stopped.¡±


    Then, Big Orange¡¯s expression changed. He retched and hurriedly raised his claws to cover his nose.


    ¡°Meow! Why is there still a rotten stench?¡±


    Yun You¡¯s expression relaxed. It seemed like they had arrived. The place was not far from here.


    The night wind was a little cold. Yun You picked up Big Orange and hugged it in her arms. She immediately felt much warmer. She no longer ran over. Han Qichuan¡¯s strength should not be bad. He would definitely be fine for the time being. She should be able to walk over.


    The main thing was that she really couldn¡¯t run at all.


    The distance was really not far. Even Yun You, whose legs were already weak, only took a few minutes to reach the location Big Orange mentioned.


    However, she didn¡¯t see Han Qichuan. Instead, she saw a large number of zombies roaring and surging around the simple camp. Yun You hid behind a wall and observed carefully.


    No wonder she didn¡¯t see a single one around here previously. It turned out that they had all ran here. But where was Han Qichuan?


    ¡°Meow! Over there, your mission.¡± After Big Orange discovered Han Qichuan, he immediately reminded Yun You.

 Chapter 18

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Yun You looked up. What she saw shocked her so much that her hair stood on end and she broke out in cold sweat.


    Han Qichuan was under a tree 50 meters in front of her.


    The figure in the night rushed towards the battlefield.


    Brother! Do you still remember that you haven¡¯t recovered from your injuries! Wait, what¡¯s that strip?


    Tail?!


    On Cang Qing¡¯s side, after He Linbing took out a new weapon, the mutants began to fear the cannon fire behind them that they restrained a little.


    However, the pressure on everyone did not decrease correspondingly. The sound of their battle had already attracted the nearby zombies. Although these zombies were low-leveled, they were superior in numbers and did not know fatigue or fear.


    ¡°If this drags on, we¡¯ll be exhausted to death sooner or later.¡± Cheng Jun, who was in front, shouted at the leader who was also fighting, ¡°Get the others to retreat. Take what you can. The most important thing is the safety of the people.¡±


    ¡°Are you stupid?¡± Perhaps the leader of the battle team had also become irritable. ¡°There¡¯s still firepower support from the back. If we withdraw this first line of defense, it will definitely break. At that time, everyone will die!¡±


    ¡°Only when they repair the wall and block the zombie crowd can we deal with these disgusting things.¡±


    He Linbing frowned. The cooldown period of the weapon in her hand was too long. It deterred the mutant, but if it took too long, it would still be discovered. She could only pray that the defensive wall could be repaired quickly.


    ¡°Oh no!¡±


    Another one broke through the defense line. Its target was the three Earth-element special ability users who were trying their best to repair it.


    Oh no! There was still some time before the weapon could be used.


    Roar! Another roar sounded, and everyone saw a shadow charge in from the side.


    Five claw marks and mucus flew out in the air. The mutant struggled and screamed. Then, it pierced the back of the mutant¡¯s neck with its claw. In an instant, the mutant stopped moving. The black shadow rushed towards the other mutants.


    ¡°The weakness is in the back of the neck!¡± He Linbing shouted at the frontline combatants. She had observed carefully. The one-sided massacre was not far away, so she could easily find out.


    However, looking at that figure, she felt that it was familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.


    The figure was Han Qichuan, but his condition was not right. He was crazy, bloodthirsty, like a wild beast.


    When Han Qichuan ran here and saw the mutant, he was very agitated. When he heard the barely audible whistle, his dark eyes slowly turned into blood-red vertical pupils.


    Many images flashed through his mind. He was killing the same mutant non-stop.


    It was a very familiar feeling. Berserkness, anger, and the desire to kill surged.


    Gray scales that clearly did not belong to humans appeared on his body. His face was almost completely covered, and his palm had become a beast¡¯s claw. It was incomparably sharp, and a thick and powerful tail appeared behind him.


    The scales flashed coldly under the moonlight, cold and dangerous. No one saw a gray ball of light flash across his chest.


    He was like the natural enemy of mutants. He targeted all mutants, and all the mutants he locked onto died without exception. As for those low-level zombies, they wanted to pounce on him and bite him when he passed by, but they all fell to the ground.


    This was a one-sided massacre, like a hungry wolf pouncing on a flock of sheep.


    The mutants stopped attacking and began to escape in all directions.


    Han Qichuan¡¯s attack greatly reduced Cang Qing¡¯s pressure, but it also brought about a great fear.


    ¡°What kind of monster is this?¡±


    ¡°How long until the wall is repaired?¡±


    ¡°Soon. Maybe in a few minutes.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the use of repairing the wall? Do you think you can stop that thing?¡±


    ¡°It looks like he¡¯s killing mutants. Could he be here to help us?¡±


    ¡°I hope so!¡±


    Everyone was discussing Han Qichuan¡¯s words. He Linbing just listened quietly and did not interrupt.


    She had just remembered why this figure felt familiar to her. It was because he was one of the few mutants that the professor had obtained at that time.


    Although she did not know why they, who were also mutants, would fight, she was sure that after he finished dealing with the group of mutants, they would be next.


    She did not know if the A7 cannon, which provided energy with abilities or nucleis, would be enough destroy him. The cooldown time was almost up.


    ¡ª-


    Yun You, who was still hiding behind the wall, was dumbfounded when she saw the changes on the battlefield.


    ¡°Big Orange, you know what¡¯s just going on?¡±


    ¡°Meow, how would I know? Didn¡¯t you mention it in the information you read on Earth?¡±


    ¡°If there was, would I ask?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Before coming to the apocalypse, in order to better carry out missions to repair this plane, Earth had provided an information handbook, but the information provided was very general.


    The information showed that Han Qichuan was a villain who suddenly appeared later. No one knew where he had gone previously.


    But it didn¡¯t mention that Han Qichuan could transform at all.


    ¡°Big Orange, is the shield effective?¡±


    ¡°Meow, the system still has to have some confidence in what it gives, meow.¡±


    ¡°Then let¡¯s get closer quietly.¡± It was mainly because she was a little worried about him. She clearly felt that something was wrong with the state of the battle.


    After saying that, she immediately took action. Yun You picked up Big Orange and slowly approached the wall. Her movements were careful and silent.


    ¡ª-


    The defensive wall on Cang Qing¡¯s side had been repaired, and the battle outside was about to end.


    Under Han Qichuan¡¯s slaughter, the mutants either died or fled. The members of the frontline battle had already retreated to their camp.


    Outside the defensive wall, all kinds of nucleis fell out of the zombies¡¯ bodies, but no one dared to collect them.


    When the last mutant died under Han Qichuan¡¯s claws, everyone couldn¡¯t help but hold their breaths. If he really wanted to kill his way in, all their special ability users might not be able to stop him.


    Han Qichuan slowly turned around and faced the camp. His five claws were facing down, and the sharp tips of his claws were still dripping with mucus from a mutant or a zombie. The big tail behind him kept wagging.


    Unlike the other strange mutants that challenged the limits of human aesthetics, Han Qichuan¡¯s greenish-gray scales were attached to his head and face, as if he was wearing a helmet. His unclear face added a mysterious aura.


    Its sharp claws and straight back gave off a dignified aura.


    Yun You hid in a corner and saw Han Qichuan clearly. She had to admit that Han Qichuan was good-looking before transforming. After transforming, he was actually not bad.


    However, she still had to do what she had to do. Han Qichuan¡¯s current state was very strange. She had to stop him.


    Yun You was prepared to activate a shield for those people when he attacked.


    He Linbing gripped the cannon in her hand tightly and stared at Han Qichuan¡¯s actions. The others did the same.


    The defensive wall was a little high. Just as Yun You was wondering if Han Qichuan could jump up, Han Qichuan moved. He bent his legs and jumped up.


    Boom¡ª

 Chapter 19

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    The cannon in He Linbing¡¯s hand emitted a brighter flame than before. The special ability user also used his power to hit him.


    Han Qichuan changed directions in the air and wanted to dodge, but his movements suddenly paused. It was at this moment that he missed the best opportunity to dodge. Even though he quickly adjusted his position, he still suffered a portion of the attack and fell back to the ground.


    Roar¡ªHan Qichuan roared angrily.


    He Linbing was a little surprised. She had thought that she would not be able to hit him, but it seemed that he had been injured before.


    ¡°Increase the frequency of the attack. He should be injured. Don¡¯t give him a chance to catch his breath,¡± He Linbing shouted.


    The ability attacks were densely packed, and Han Qichuan kept dodging. After dealing with those dozen or so mutants, his stamina had yet to recover, let alone healing old and new injuries, making it increasingly difficult for him to dodge.


    He Linbing¡¯s weapon was on cooldown. At the same time, she was watching for the best opportunity to kill him in one shot.


    In the end, Han Qichuan was hit by a psychic ability user and his movements were restricted. He was struggling crazily.


    Even now, the weapon has yet to fully cooldown.


    He Linbing forcefully activated her weapon. Even if it was scrapped, she had to eliminate this danger.


    The power modulation was the greatest. The remaining energy from the two Level 3 nucleis and one Level 4 nuclei were all mobilized.


    The outer shell of the weapon looked a little red. An extremely dazzling beam of light shot towards Han Qichuan.


    Han Qichuan, who was trapped, could not dodge in time. He could only watch as the light approached him. His vertical pupils quickly constricted. He felt a fatal threat from this attack.


    Boom¡ª


    The attack hit, and flames exploded. Rolling tongues of fire wrapped around it, and it took a while before they began to disperse.


    No one saw that after the attack hit, a black shadow on a building in the distance took a look and quietly hid in the darkness.


    When he turned around, something in his hand flashed with a metallic luster under the moonlight.


    It seemed to be a whistle.


    Cang Qing and the others were all nervous as they stared fixedly at the spot where Han Qichuan had been.


    They definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand such a powerful force!


    Through the flames, what they saw was not the charred corpse of a mutant, but a golden and transparent hemispherical energy shield.


    Inside the energy shield, the monster from before had disappeared. In its place was an unconscious young man in charred clothes.


    What was this?


    abilities or new weapons?


    Was this mutant a human or a monster?


    Cang Qing and the others seemed to have many questions.


    He Linbing glanced at him and had a rough answer to his current state.


    This person must have made a mistake in the experiment and was not completely mutated. He might have relapsed for some reason just now.


    As for who saved him, she would know the answer later.


    Sure enough, before the flames were extinguished, a blue figure walked out from the corner of the building on the left.


    Cheng Jun and He Linbing were surprised. They asked in unison, ¡°Boss?¡±


    When the others heard this, they all had puzzled expressions. What boss? They only saw a beautiful girl. Speaking of which, why was a girl like you in such a dangerous place at night?


    The blue figure was indeed Yun You. Originally, she thought that she was going to save that large group of people, but in the end, she saved Han Qichuan.


    Yun You saw the second he stopped in the air clearly. She probably knew the reason.


    There was already a wound on his back. The moment he changed direction in the air, he must have pulled it. Perhaps it was because there were some new injuries previously.


    When Yun You walked out, she had been thinking about how to bring him back.


    Hearing someone call her boss, she subconsciously looked over. It was actually the previous customer.


    ¡ª-


    In the underground laboratory.


    The delicate containers contained all kinds of nutrient solutions. The ones soaking in the nutrient solutions were none other than mutants of various forms. Some of them even had broken limbs.


    Behind the container, Mu Zhao, who was wearing a white lab coat, was controlling a machine in front of her. The top of the machine was also a container, but it was relatively more exquisite.


    Beep¡ª


    The light on the machine suddenly glowed green. The monster inside the container stirred slightly.


    ¡°Hahaha, I¡¯ve succeeded. I¡¯ve finally succeeded.¡± He laughed so loudly that he was almost sick. ¡°If I get the Prism Fruit again, his strength will definitely be stronger and more stable.¡±


    At this moment, someone came in from outside and walked to his side.


    Mu Zhao glanced at her and walked to the other room. He took off his gloves and lab coat.


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    ¡°Subject No. 1 has been discovered.¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t the report say that he¡¯s dead? Hehe.¡± He frowned, and his tone was vaguely angry.


    The person who reported the news relayed the details of what he had learned and the scene of No. 1 being attacked.


    ¡°In the end, no one was left behind to confirm if he was dead or not?¡± Mu Zhao asked.


    ¡°healer, the outcome of such an attack should be quite obvious¡­¡±


    Mu Zhao raised his hand to stop her from continuing. If he did not see it, then the outcome was inconclusive.


    Mu Zhao rubbed his temples. He really had a headache. The original intention of those mutants was to be used by experimental subjects like No. 1 to improve. How could they be No. 1¡¯s match?


    This time, the new mutant¡¯s strength was basically equivalent to an early-stage Level 3. Its level was lower than Number 1 to begin with. He had wanted to test the strength of this batch, but now it seemed that he had wasted his resources for nothing.


    However, it did not matter. After all, No. 2 had succeeded, so No. 1 was useless to him. However, he was more interested in who had cured his potion.


    ¡°How interesting!¡±


    ¡°The information is wrong. Let them receive their punishment. Also, if No. 1 isn¡¯t dead¡­ Forget it, don¡¯t care about No. 1. Now, let¡¯s mainly investigate who cured No. 1¡¯s poison?¡±


    A devilish smile appeared on Mu Zhao¡¯s lips. Although he had wasted that batch of products, it didn¡¯t seem to be such a loss now.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Wait, and that person called He Linbing, find a time to deal with her.¡±


    The power of that weapon was indeed a little dangerous. It could convert nucleis and abilities into weapon energy. Unfortunately, she was not part of his team. If it was a stumbling block, it needs to disappear!


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡ª-


    Cang Qing¡¯s leader was also puzzled as to why Cheng Jun and He Linbing called her boss. He patted Cheng Jun¡¯s shoulder and asked in a low voice, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    He Linbing looked at Cheng Jun and asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t I ask you to inform the purchasers? Didn¡¯t you say anything?¡±


    Cheng Jun blinked innocently. He was wronged! He had looked for him, but the leader was busy with other things at that time. In the end, he forgot.


    ¡°Leader, it¡¯s a shop owner that He Linbing and I met this afternoon. I¡¯ll tell you in detail later,¡± Cheng Jun braced himself and explained.


    The leader didn¡¯t say anything else. He stood on the defensive wall and looked at Yun You.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I have to take this person away today,¡± Yun You said to everyone. Her tone was slightly apologetic, but firm.

 Chapter 20 - Beautiful Misunderstanding

    Chapter 20 Beautiful Misunderstanding


    In fact, when Yun You faced these people and looked at the weapons and abilities, it was impossible to say that she was not afraid at all. After all, she had grown up in a peaceful area. This was the first time she had faced such a scene.


    However, she had no other choice. She could only pray that they are easy to negotiate with. Also, on account of the previous deal, the two customers could be easier to talk to.


    Otherwise, she did not know if she could escape unscathed with her remaining shield force.


    The leader had a bad temper. ¡°Why¡­¡± Before he could finish, He Linbing and Cheng Jun stopped him.


    Cheng Jun covered the leader¡¯s mouth and dragged him back anxiously. He even whispered.


    ¡°Wuwu¡­ Cheng¡­ Wu¡­¡±


    ¡°Leader! We can¡¯t provoke this person!! Previously, she could directly seal my ability.¡±


    When the leader finally broke free and heard this news, he was shocked. ¡°What?¡±


    One had to know that Cheng Jun was at the peak of Level 3 and was about to reach Level 4. Furthermore, he had an offense-type Fire element ability. In the entire apocalypse, his strength could be said to be ranked as top.


    A ability that could seal abilities was simply unheard of. Moreover, according to Cheng Jun¡¯s description, this person¡¯s level was most likely higher than Cheng Jun.


    ¡°We can ask the boss to take him away. He didn¡¯t hurt any of us. Strictly speaking, we should thank him,¡± He Linbing said calmly to Yun You without looking at the two men who were restraining each other.


    If Yun You knew what Cang Qing and the others were thinking, she would definitely sigh at this beautiful misunderstanding and not wonder why the other party was so easy to talk to.


    ¡°However, since he can become a monster like a mutant, are you sure you want to take him away?¡±


    ¡°Positive.¡±


    Yun You was not afraid of Han Qichuan¡¯s transformation from the bottom of her heart.


    Firstly, she felt that he looked good when he transformed the first time, and it did not scare her.


    Secondly, saving Han Qichuan at the beginning was a mission set by the system. If it was dangerous, the system would have mentioned it long ago. There was no need to trick her. After all, there was no benefit in tricking her. She was given a second chance at life after all. Thirdly, she felt that Han Qichuan was really a little pitiful. What had he experienced before? ¡°Alright, take him with you, Boss!¡± He Linbing nodded. She felt that there was no need for Cang Qing to become enemies with the boss. She would just treat it as a favor!


    The leader also felt that such a person was not suitable to become enemies with, so he did not stop He Linbing. He tacitly agreed with her actions.


    He considered that it would be difficult for Yun You to bring Han Qichuan back. He even took the initiative to ask someone to help her send Han Qichuan back.


    Yun You was afraid of trouble, so her first reaction was to reject him.


    The leader did not say anything else. He instructed the guards to watch the defensive wall and not blow it up again.


    These were troubled times. Previously, they had almost found all the supplies in the city. There was no need to go all the way. A few would do. It would be disadvantageous if there were too many people.


    Dragon Might should have the same thoughts. He had to contact them tomorrow.


    Then, the leader looked for Cheng Jun and He Linbing to ask about what happened in the afternoon.


    Yun You walked to Han Qichuan¡¯s side. The shield had already disappeared.


    Han Qichuan¡¯s clothes were a little charred, and his hair was burned a little. His transformation had long been removed. He was now unconscious, looking like the sorry state he was in when they first met.


    The shield was a little late, or perhaps it was not completely blocked.


    Yun You carefully helped Han Qichuan up. Looking at Han Qichuan¡¯s current state, she couldn¡¯t help but sigh. ¡°His injuries haven¡¯t recovered to begin with, but he insisted on coming out to play. I couldn¡¯t stop him. Now, he¡¯s fine although he almost lost his life.¡±


    Eh, do you want me to carry it back again? Shouldn¡¯t this kind of plot be of a woman being carried by a man? Why did it change when it came to her?


    Yun You smiled and was about to carry him.


    ¡°Cough, cough.¡± On the way to the back, Han Qichuan coughed a few times. Then, he slowly opened his eyes. His blood-red vertical pupils had long disappeared, replaced by dark and deep eyes.


    Eh? He¡¯s awake.


    ¡°Hello, Han Qichuan? Can you hear me?


    Hello?¡± Yun You shook Han Qichuan twice.


    Only then did Han Qichuan notice her. However, his consciousness was still not very clear. His entire head was dizzy. He forced himself to stand up. Just as he was about to fall, Yun You hurriedly supported him. ¡°You¡­ Why are you here¡­ Danger, cough¡ª¡¯ ¡°I ¡°You still know how dangerous it is?!¡± Yun You said angrily.


    ¡°I¡­¡± Han Qichuan¡¯s tone was unstable and his aura was weak.


    ¡°Let¡¯s talk when we get back. Can you still walk? Talk lesser and save the energy.¡± Han Qichuan tried to take two steps, but it was unstable and weak. In the end, he had to rely on Yun You to walk. At night, Big Orange led the way, and the two of them and the cat set off on their way back.


    ¡°Wait, Boss.¡±


    There was a shout behind him, and the sound of an engine.


    Yun You looked back and realized that Cheng Jun had brought someone out in a green car. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Yun You subconsciously became nervous. Her other shield was ready to be activated at any time.


    off.


    ¡°The leader asked us to send you guys There¡¯s no hurry to reject him. We can take this opportunity to go over and buy some supplies,¡± Cheng Jun replied.


    Only then did Yun You heave a sigh of relief.


    She thought about it carefully and agreed. After all, cars can travel much faster than walking. ¡°Well, thank you.¡±


    Soon, they arrived in front of the shop.


    When Cheng Jun saw the shop again, he was still a little shocked. There was actually a shop here, and it was selling untainted food. Cheng Jun¡¯s teammate, who came with him, helped Yun You help Han Qichuan into the sofa seat in the shop. Han Qichuan was in a daze, and some of the wounds on his body were still bleeding.


    ¡°You guys choose what you want to buy first. I¡¯ll treat some of his more serious wounds first.¡± Yun You pointed at the cabinet above the front desk and took out the first aid kit from the corner.


    Fortunately, she had placed some medical supplies outside. She did not want to expose her system space so early, even if she was mistaken for having a spatial ability. After a while, Yun You simply treated Han Qichuan¡¯s wound. Cheng Jun had almost finished choosing. There were a few large pockets, and the things on the counter were almost empty. Good lord, this basically moved everything she took out today!


    ¡°Boss, the bill.¡±


    It was getting late. Big Orange had already climbed up the building and was sleeping somewhere. After Cheng Jun and the others paid the bill, they did not stay long. After loading the supplies into the car, they immediately bade farewell to Yun You and left.


    Yun You looked at the system time and saw that it was already eleven o¡¯clock. Under normal circumstances, the store would have been closed at this time.


    Yun You closed the door and looked at Han Qichuan, who had fainted on the sofa. He had fainted twice in just two days. It was really impressive.


    After checking Han Qichuan¡¯s injuries again, Yun You decided to let him lie here for the time being. She would wait for the healing ability to reset at 12 o¡¯clock and treat his injuries before moving him upstairs.


    However, it was another 50 coins. Her heart ached!


    In C City, on a tall building.


    ¡°Looks like your boss doesn¡¯t care about No. 1 anymore. Go and receive your punishment, haha.¡± Mei was a little happy.


    Wang Tai snorted.


    Mei ignored him and leaned against the railing.

 Chapter 21 - Scales

    Chapter 21 Scales


    It was already past midnight. After Yun You treated Han Qichuan¡¯s injuries, she moved him from the sofa on the first floor to the sofa on the second floor.


    Along the way, he complained.


    ¡°The smell of the mucus of those mutants is really not inferior to zombies at all.¡±


    Because he had killed so many mutants, it was inevitable that Han Qichuan would be stained. After Yun You placed him on the sofa, she tidied his messy hair. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly felt a familiar feeling.


    Wait a minute, healing this injury shouldn¡¯t be like this? Why am I going to faint again? Why is there a delay? Wait, I want to sleep on the bed!!


    Yun You fell and pressed against Han Qichuan¡¯s chest.


    Late at night, even Big Orange was curled up on another sofa and sleeping soundly. The system automatically turned off the lights in the shop and everything fell silent.


    No one noticed that on Han Qichuan¡¯s chest, a gray light flashed and disappeared.


    Early in the morning.


    Han Qichuan opened his eyes and saw a familiar ceiling. It seemed that he was in the shop.


    Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly felt a weight on his chest. When he took a closer look, he realized that Yun You was lying on his body and had yet to wake up. She was sleeping soundly.


    From the first time he saw Yun You, he felt that she was very beautiful. She looked quiet and indifferent when she was asleep, and she had a rare, pure aura in the apocalypse.


    Inadvertently, a smile appeared on his lips and disappeared in the blink of an eye.


    Closing his eyes, Han Qichuan¡¯s expression was cold. When he opened them again, his gaze were stormy.


    He remembered everything that happened yesterday, including what happened after he lost control. Those mutants were very familiar to him, as if he had often interacted with them, and the whistle that made him lose control and transform.


    Han Qichuan raised his right hand that was not pressed down by Yun You. Seeing that the previous wound had already healed, he felt no illness or pain on his body.


    Healing power? It suits her.


    Han Qichuan summoned the scales on his body and looked at the scales that clearly did not belong to a human. He fell into deep thought. Before he transformed yesterday, he did not even know.


    Recalling the images of the fragmented memories that surfaced when he lost control last night, the cold instruments, the ugly monsters, the blood¡­


    Who was he? Where had he come from before?


    Han Qichuan¡¯s eyes darkened.


    No matter who he was, it was impossible for him to have anything to do with her past.


    She was pure, as if she was from the territory of light, and he most likely came from the darkness.


    He looked at the sleeping Yun You. If she hadn¡¯t saved him, perhaps they wouldn¡¯t have crossed paths now. It was a little difficult to repay the favor of saving his life twice!


    Yun You woke up in a daze. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw a pair of dark eyes. She immediately jumped up, and her face was stained with a faint pink color.


    She pretended to be calm and glanced at the messy hair in front of her. She coughed lightly and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I was a little tired after treating you last night, so I fell asleep.¡±


    Seeing Yun You¡¯s actions, Han Qichuan¡¯s gloomy mood immediately dissipated. However, he did not know how to respond, so he could only nod quietly.


    Yun You hurriedly picked up Big Orange, who was still sleeping in at the side, and rushed to the kitchen on the second floor. ¡°I¡¯ll go make breakfast first. Go wash up!¡±


    Big Orange, who was eating dried fish in his dream, was jolted awake.


    Han Qichuan glanced at himself. He was dirty and messy. The smell of dried mucus was unpleasant. His good mood sank again.


    At noon, the sun was strong, and the zombie activity was relatively weak.


    The team on Cang Qing¡¯s side was at the temporary campsite, loading the supplies that they had collected previously.


    The leader gathered everyone, packed up, and prepared to leave to meet up with the Dragon Might Base.


    C City would become very dangerous soon. The task of preventing zombies from obtaining the Prism Fruit would be handed over to people with sufficient strength. As for the details, they would discuss it with the people from Dragon Might.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.


    Hopefully, nothing unexpected would happen along the way.


    In White Clouds store.


    Indeed, the traffic in C City had been going on for the entire morning, but there was not a single person in sight.


    At noon, Yun You cooked. Han Qichuan insisted on coming to help, but it hindered Yun You¡¯s progress. However, Yun You did feel that Han Qichuan was working hard, so she did not blame him. She did not want to dampen his enthusiasm.


    He just needed to practice his cooking skills more. It was not impossible for him to become a Kitchen Killer now and a Master Chef in future.


    After eating and washing the dishes, Yun You went downstairs and planned to man the shop to see if anyone would come to buy anything this afternoon.


    Han Qichuan was fine. Because his injuries had healed, he did not need to continue recuperating. He followed Yun You downstairs.


    This was the first time he had carefully observed Yun You¡¯s shop. He was surprised and puzzled. Why would she want to open a shop in such a dangerous place?


    In his memory, other than the base, there were almost no shops in the apocalypse. He was not worried about the number of customers in the shop. From the food he had eaten these few days, the shop did not lack untainted food. But finding a supply of pure food is a difficult task.


    When Yun You saw the empty cabinet shelf, she remembered that the things she had taken out of the space this morning had not been put up. She could ask Han Qichuan for help. Han Qichuan nodded. ¡°Coming.¡± With Han Qichuan¡¯s help, the products were quickly shelved. Now that there was nothing else and there were no customers, Yun You was free. Han Qichuan sat in a chair and took a book that Yun You had placed at the front desk to read. Yun You was lying on the front desk, stroking the cat with one hand and studying the system interface that only she and Big Orange could see.


    There were still many functions of the shop that had not been activated but she could use the interface to understand them first.


    Yun You looked up at Han Qichuan and suddenly thought of what happened yesterday. ¡°What happened yesterday? I felt that you lost control after that. Also, what¡¯s with your transformation?¡± Yun You was a little curious. Han Qichuan raised his head and looked at Yun You silently.


    After a moment of silence, when Yun You thought that he would not answer, an apologetic voice sounded. ¡°I don¡¯t know either.¡±


    He doesn¡¯t know?!


    ¡°Before yesterday, I didn¡¯t even know I could transform.¡±


    ¡°Then why¡­?¡±


    ¡°The whistle.¡± Whistle? Yun You was a little puzzled.


    What did it have to do with the whistle? Besides, she didn¡¯t hear it yesterday.


    [Meow, I heard it. It¡¯s so unpleasant.] Big Orange lay lazily.


    [Big Orange, did you hear that?]


    [Meow, it might be specially made. It¡¯s normal for ordinary people not to hear it.] Big Orange explained.


    ¡°So, you heard the whistle and lost control?¡±


    ¡°Yes, those mutants are also very familiar.


    When I saw them yesterday, some images flashed past.¡±


    And those mutants? Where was Han Qichuan before? Could it be as she had guessed? Most likely it¡¯s possible.


    ¡°Transform. Can you control it now?¡±


    ¡°Sure.¡±


    ¡°Can I see those scales?¡±


    This time, Han Qichuan hesitated for a moment before agreeing.


    Han Qichuan did not complete his transformation. Only one of his hands had turned into his previous claw. However, he was afraid of hurting Yun You, so he retracted his sharp claws. The scales on his hand were cold, as if a layer of hard armor had escaped.


    Yun You looked at the scale and suddenly thought of the injuries he had suffered yesterday. An unknown anger rose in her, but she could not scold him. She could only glare at him fiercely.


    Han Qichuan, who was glared at, looked confused. What¡¯s wrong?


    Boom- A tremor drew their attention.


    After that. Thud!


    The door of the shop was pushed open hurriedly.

 Chapter 22 - Something Happened to He Linbing

    Chapter 22 Something Happened to He Linbing


    A figure rushed in quickly, as if something was chasing after him. One of them lost his balance and suddenly fell in front, but he still protected the person in his arms tightly.


    Han Qichuan reacted quickly and stood in front of Yun You. His scale-covered hand stretched out its sharp claws and looked at the figure in front of him warily.


    ¡°Why does it look so familiar?¡± Yun You muttered as she looked at the back of the person who had fallen to the ground.


    When that person raised his head, even Han Qichuan was a little surprised. Yun You even covered her mouth in surprise.


    It was undoubtedly Cheng Jun, and he was protecting He Linbing in his arms.


    What surprised Yun You and the others was that Cheng Jun¡¯s forehead was covered in blood. There was a long tear in his long sleeve, and one could clearly see the bloody wound inside. His clothes were also covered in frost and traces of being roasted by flames.


    His entire body was covered in dust.


    ¡°What happened to you guys?¡± Yun You asked.


    ¡°Boss, save He Linbing.¡± Cheng Jun¡¯s eyes were red, and his tone was urgent.


    ¡°This is¡­¡± Only then did Yun You realize that something was wrong with He Linbing.


    There was no color on He Linbing¡¯s face. Her pale and sickly face was stained with a strange greenish-gray color. Her eyebrows were furrowed, her lips were pursed tightly, and she moaned in pain from time to time. There were deep bite marks on her shoulder that were bleeding.


    ¡°She¡¯s being infected.¡± A cold and deep voice sounded. A cold glint appeared in Han Qichuan¡¯s eyes, and his sharp claws were about to attack.


    Cheng Jun sensed Han Qichuan¡¯s intentions and gathered his power to counterattack. However, he could not gather his power in the shop. He could only use his body to block Han Qichuan¡¯s attack and protect He Linbing. His eyes were filled with determination.


    ¡°Stop!¡±


    Yun You hugged Han Qichuan¡¯s arm with both hands and stopped him from attacking.


    Han Qichuan stopped and looked at Yun You in confusion.


    ¡°Yun You, she¡¯s hopeless.¡±


    In his limited memory, being infected by a zombie could only result in death or becoming a zombie. Now, in Yun You¡¯s shop, it was best to get rid of it before it turned into a zombie to prevent trouble.


    Yun You sighed. Just as she was about to explain to him, she heard Cheng Jun argue fiercely. His voice was hoarse.


    ¡°Who said that? Who said that? There¡¯s clearly still hope! There¡¯s still hope! Level 3 healing-type special ability users can do it!¡±


    Han Qichuan was stunned and did not plan to continue attacking. On the other hand, Yun You was shocked.


    [Wait, Big Orange, why would he know about this? The timing is not right!]


    Yun You had once learned from the information on Earth that time had reversed once in this world.


    In the previous timeline, the use of healing-type ability users in the early stages was very limited, causing the appearance of Level 3 healers to be appear late. Therefore, under normal circumstances, it would take a few months for this matter to be known.


    [Meow, I don¡¯t know either.] Big Orange also came over in surprise.


    ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to fight in my shop.¡± Yun You gave Han Qichuan a warning look.


    Han Qichuan¡¯s face was still cold, but he said to Cheng Jun, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.


    Yun You helped Cheng Jun carry He Linbing to the sofa and checked her condition. She had just been bitten.


    ¡°What happened to you guys?¡±


    ¡°We-¡±


    Cang Qing and the others set off at noon to the place they had agreed to meet the Dragon Might Base crew. In the end, they were attacked halfway.


    From last night to today, it was obvious that they were targeted. But they didn¡¯t know why?


    There were not many of them. They were dressed in black and had about Level 3 abilities.


    They were not their match to begin with. However, it was annoying to ambush them from time to time, so they slowed down. Unexpectedly, they attracted zombies. Their target was He Linbing, but it was too late when they realized it. He Linbing was still bitten by the zombie. After succeeding, they retreated without hesitation. If it had been before, He Linbing would have been dead.


    However, not long ago, there had been news from the Dragon Might Base that a Level 3 healing-type special ability user had cured a person who had not completely been infected and mutated. Cheng Jun did not want to give up. After some discussion, he decided to bring He Linbing to meet the Dragon Might people early so that he could treat He Linbing. He was afraid that it would be too late. However, on the way, Cheng Jun met them again. The heavens seemed to have played a joke on him. After he shook them off, he encountered a peak Level 4 Strength-type zombie with an Earth-element ability. Fortunately, Bai Yunyou¡¯s shop was on this road, so what happened after that.


    Yun You looked out and indeed saw the zombie wandering outside, but she did not dare to take half a step in.


    This zombie was the one that had chased after Lu Linyan and the others previously. It had suffered once and did not dare to rashly provoke this area.


    ¡°Let me see if I can save her,¡± Yun You said to Cheng Jun as she thought about her ability as a repairman.


    Cheng Jun was overjoyed. Could it be that the store manager happened to be a healing-type ability user?


    Yun You stretched out her hand, but she could not summon a white light no matter what. She clearly had enough system coins! She called up the system panel that only she and Big Orange could see. She realized that the spot where the fifty had been deducted had turned gray, as if it had been locked. Only then did she remember that she fainted after treating Han Qichuan this morning. [What¡¯s wrong with it, Big Orange? Why is it restricted? Previously, it worked on Han Qichuan¡¯s injuries!]


    [Meow, strange?] Big Orange also circled around Yun You in confusion. When Han Qichuan saw that Yun You¡¯s ability had failed, he was also puzzled and lowered his eyes. Judging from the injuries on his body, Yun You had a healing ability. Could it be because of him that she couldn¡¯t do it now? ¡°Sorry, there seems to be a problem with my ability,¡± Yun You said to Cheng Jun. ¡°Manager, don¡¯t force yourself. Please help us block that zombie. I¡¯ll take her to Dragon Might.¡± Although Cheng Jun was a little disappointed, he didn¡¯t make things difficult for Yun You. His original purpose in coming to the shop was to block that zombie.


    He hoped that there was still time. Yun You shook her head. ¡°Zombies can¡¯t come over. It¡¯s just that it¡¯s probably too late for you to go over there¡­¡±


    Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Jun was a little agitated. His tone was a little demonic. ¡°Impossible. We¡¯ll definitely make it. We¡¯ll make it¡­¡±


    Han Qichuan¡¯s entire body tensed up as he looked at Cheng Jun warily. ¡°Calm down, calm down. Listen to me. I didn¡¯t say that she couldn¡¯t be saved.¡± Yun You was a little helpless. Before she could finish speaking, she became excited. ¡°In the shop, the zombie virus will be suppressed.¡±


    Han Qichuan was a little surprised, but he remembered that his ability seemed to be useless here, so there was nothing strange about it.


    ¡°Although she won¡¯t become a zombie, her life will still be in danger. Stop, don¡¯t be agitated.¡± Seeing that Cheng Jun was about to lose his temper again, Yun You immediately shouted for him to stop. Then, she quickly said in one breath, ¡°The signature series in the shop, Resuscitation, can guarantee her a day of life.¡±


    ¡°Even after I leave the shop, there won¡¯t be any problems for a day. However, I have to make it.¡±


    Cheng Jun calmed down and thought for a moment before agreeing. ¡°Okay.¡± Actually, he knew very well that it was too late for him to go over. He was just deceiving himself. He did not want to give up on any bit of hope. Cheng Jun hugged He Linbing tightly. Yun You nodded. ¡°It¡¯ll be done soon.¡± Then, she turned around and walked to the kitchen.

 Chapter 23 - Recovery

    Chapter 23 Recovery


    Han Qichuan stayed where he was. In order to prevent the two of them from fighting, Big Orange did not follow Yun You this time. Instead, it stood guard here.


    Han Qichuan and Cheng Jun looked at each other. The atmosphere between the two of them was tense, as if they were about to fight at any moment. However, Han Qichuan thought about what Yun You had said and restrained his aura.


    ¡°If she still turns into a zombie here, no one will be able to stop her.¡±


    In the end, Han Qichuan still said something ruthless. He didn¡¯t want to keep Yun You as a hidden danger. After all, she had saved him twice.


    ¡°You don¡¯t seem to trust the manager. To think that she saved you yesterday.¡±


    Han Qichuan was silent. He only had one life. It was better to be safe than sorry. Moreover, he was just expressing his disbelief.


    Before he could answer, Cheng Jun¡¯s voice trembled as if he was trying his best to restrain himself. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. If she turns into a zombie, I¡­ I¡¯ll do it myself.¡±


    After all, this was her last request to him.


    Before she fainted, she smiled at him and said, ¡°Cheng¡­ Jun, on account that we¡¯ve been partners for so long, if I still mutate in the end, give me a quick death, okay? I¡¯m begging you.¡±


    Han Qichuan looked at Cheng Jun¡¯s crazy and desperate expression as if he was clutching at straws. His eyes were dark and puzzled, but what he did not know was that later on, he himself was even better.


    It didn¡¯t take long to make fruit tea. In a few minutes, Yun You brought out two cups.


    The last time Cheng Jun and the others came, the previous two cups had already been finished by Lu Linyan and the others, so this was the first time he had seen the signature tea series.


    From the outside, Cheng Jun could already sense the specialness of these two cups of fruit tea.


    ¡°I¡¯ve made two cups. One cup is for you to recover your ability. Otherwise, how can you bring her to find them later?¡±


    ¡°These two cups are on the house for you. Take it as thanks for your help yesterday!¡±


    Cheng Jun took the fruit tea and drank it, then personally fed it to He Linbing.


    The fruit tea was very effective. He Linbing¡¯s complexion improved, and her greenish-gray skin faded a lot. Cheng Jun¡¯s complexion also improved a lot. He had recovered one-sixth of his power.


    Regarding this magical effect, Cheng Jun thought for a moment and decided to leave behind a Level 3 nuclei. This was the last nuclei on him.


    Yun You insisted on not accepting it, but Cheng Jun left the nuclei behind, picked up He Linbing, and left the shop.


    ¡°Thank you, Manager.¡±


    He rushed towards the cars parked outside.


    Yun You watched as they disappeared from her sight.


    Hopefully, they could successfully find the Level 3 healer from Dragon Might¡¯s side.


    Returning to the front desk, Yun You was a little puzzled.


    The only change in this world was her arrival.


    However, the news of the Level 3 healer clearly had nothing to do with her. The time was so early. The early appearance of the Level 3 healer was different from the previous timeline in the information.


    Even if her arrival had a butterfly effect, it would not affect what happened before she came. So where did the change happen? Forget it. This news appeared in advance and gave humans more time to adjust. It was a good thing. This change should not be a bad influence.


    The shop fell silent again. Han Qichuan continued to sit on the sofa and read. Yun You rubbed her orange and thought about the mission of the Prism Fruit. Speaking of which, the Prism Fruit should appear soon!


    In the underground laboratory.


    ¡°Did you ask where they are? How¡¯s the mission going?¡± Mu Zhao asked the person beside her.


    ¡°There¡¯s news that He Linbing has been bitten by a zombie. Cheng Jun brought people to treat her and was intercepted by them. However, they later encountered a peak Level 4 zombie. It was too strong, so they didn¡¯t continue chasing. Cheng Jun and the others probably couldn¡¯t shake off the zombie.¡±


    Mu Zhao didn¡¯t say anything. He just smiled at the person who was reporting. Without a confirmed result, everything was empty talk.


    Mu Zhao stood up. ¡°Alright, you can leave.¡±


    When the results were out, he would settle the score with those trash.


    The weather had turned gloomy and there were layers of black clouds. It seemed like it was going to rain.


    In the afternoon, in a tent in Dragon Might¡¯s temporary camp.


    ¡°She¡¯s fine now. Do you want to rest first?¡±


    Ling Xuanwei said to Cheng Jun, who had been guarding He Linbing.


    Cheng Jun shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll guard here.¡±


    Ling Xuanwei did not say anything else and walked out of the tent. Just as she was about to leave the tent, she suddenly turned around and asked, ¡°Did you pass by White Clouds Shop on your way here?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    As expected, Ling Xuanwei left the tent after getting the answer she wanted.


    When Shan Tao was treating He Linbing, she had told her, ¡°Sister Wei, her condition is so strange! This is the first time I¡¯ve seen it.¡±


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    ¡°Judging from the treatment, she should have died or turned into a zombie by now. However, she¡¯s still fine, just hasn¡¯t woken up.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s as if the virus in her body has been suppressed. Moreover, her life force is very strong.¡±


    Ling Xuanwei walked into another tent. The meeting had just ended.


    Cang Qing¡¯s men had already arrived. The leader had just been in the tent for a meeting.


    When he saw Ling Xuanwei enter, he asked, ¡°How is it?¡±


    Ling Xuanwei nodded. ¡°It¡¯s fine now.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, thank you so much.¡± The leader decided to go back and suggest to his superiors to nurture a Level 3 healer as soon as possible. He Linbing was also a very important person to Cang Qing, but as a Level 3 healer, Cang Qing, like the other bases, did not nurture healing ability users at the beginning. This was also why Shan Tao was the only Level 3 healing ability user in the world.


    He Linbing had returned to normal. This undoubtedly proved to Cang Qing¡¯s people the reliability of the information about Dragon Might. After that, healing ability users would improve rapidly.


    This was actually the reason why Ling Xuanwei spread this news. In her previous life, the effects of the Healing Element were discovered too late, causing the number of Healing Elements to decrease too quickly in the early stages. This time, she had changed. The Healing Element would definitely be highly valued.


    ¡°You¡¯re welcome. In the apocalypse, only by helping each other can the base survive.¡± Ling Xuanwei smiled.


    He hoped that she could change the outcome of the apocalypse this time.


    ¡°Oh, right, about the Prism Fruit, have you discussed it?¡± Ling Xuanwei looked at Lu Linyan.


    The Prism Fruit must not be obtained by the Zombie King of C City. In his previous life, after it obtained it, it became the first Level 6 Zombie King and brought a lot of trouble to humans.


    ¡°We have the same idea as Cang Qing. After all, he¡¯s a Zombie King. If everyone goes, they¡¯ll be a burden,¡± Lu Linyan said.


    ¡°Yes, when the time comes, we¡¯ll select a few.


    The rest of you, evacuate from City C,¡± A captain from Cang Qing added.


    Ling Xuanwei nodded in agreement. Although only two of the four major bases had come because of geographical reasons, they were not the only people in C City now.


    There were also many people who were eyeing the Prism Fruit. After all, it was the crystal of a Level 5 medicinal mutant plant. There was no danger in obtaining it. Finders keepers, how could they not be tempted? The reason why the base sent them out was very simple. It was to prevent the Zombie King from getting the fruit. Of course, it would be better if they could get it.


    As for why everyone knew that the Prism Fruit would appear in City C, it was all because of the news sent out by the No. 1 intelligence organization in the apocalypse-Heaven¡¯s Eye. Heaven¡¯s Eye had appeared after the apocalypse began. The information they gave was almost flawless, and their ability to investigate was very outstanding.

 Chapter 24 - Old Story Book-The Past In a certain room in C City.

    Chapter 24 Old Story Book-The Past


    In a certain room in C City.


    A person condensed a water ball with his water-type ability, and in front of the water ball was a huge water mirror.


    On the water mirror, a zombie picked up an angular fruit. Suddenly, a mutated beast rushed out to snatch it.


    The fruit fell to the ground and a fair hand picked it up. Just as the image was about to show the person¡¯s face, the water mirror shattered.


    It was different. The ending had changed? The person controlling the water ball was the person in charge of Heaven¡¯s Eye¡ªHan Bin, a water-type ability user. This was not a very special ability, but his water-type ability¡¯s Water Mirror could project images of the near future.


    The scene was not always 100% accurate, and the scene could change again.


    This time, he saw the zombie obtain the Prism Fruit and become a Level 6 Zombie King. Previously, he had tested it many times and it had always been this scene until this time.


    Who could it be? An unknown high-level ability user in the apocalypse?


    ¡°Brother Han, why do we have to care about these things?¡± Chen Fei complained to him.


    Han Bin had a good temper and did not care about his subordinate¡¯s complaints. He only smiled and explained to him, ¡°If the Zombie King in C City reaches Level 6, it will be a disaster.¡±


    Although Heaven¡¯s Eye was neutral and never participated in any organization¡¯s battles, they were indeed on the side of humans.


    Thinking of this, Han Bin smiled. He was not like those lunatics.


    He used his water-type ability to summon Water Mirror again. He wanted to see the final outcome.


    ¡°Brother Han, do you want to die?!¡±


    The Water Mirror could look into the future, but each time it was used will harm the body. Under normal circumstances, Han Bin would not use it often, but this time, he actually used it twice in a row.


    Han Bin waved his hand, indicating that he was fine. He focused his attention on the water mirror again.


    Poker cards flying around?


    Han Bin frowned. Where did poker cards come from in the apocalypse?


    He continued reading.


    An orange ball appeared and the Water Mirror exploded in less than a second.


    Han Bin spat out a mouthful of blood.


    ¡°Brother Han!¡± Chen Fei hurriedly supported him.


    ¡°Ahem, a backlash from my ability. Don¡¯t be anxious. I won¡¯t die yet.¡± Han Bin wiped the blood from his mouth and sat weakly on the chair.


    ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to call the healer.¡± Chen Fei quickly called his brothers outside.


    Han Bin closed his eyes and pondered. Then, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. It seemed that the outcome had changed.


    At the same time.


    Big Orange, who was lying at the front desk, looked out of the window without any warning. His eyes were as vigilant as if he was catching a mouse.


    Yun You was still studying the brewing of non-branded beverages when she suddenly saw Big Orange¡¯s vigilant expression and asked curiously.


    [What¡¯s wrong, Big Orange?]


    Big Orange relaxed.


    [Meow, I feel that someone is looking at me.


    Perhaps I¡¯m wrong.]


    It was just a small interlude. Big Orange didn¡¯t care and continued to sleep.


    Time passed quickly, and it was night again.


    Yun You was still the one who made dinner and Han Qichuan was her assistant. Compared to before, Han Qichuan had already improved a lot, although he was still a burden.


    It was still Han Qichuan who took the initiative to wash the dishes. In his words, he was doing odd jobs to pay for the accommodation fee, so Yun You let him be.


    Currently, Yun You was sitting on the sofa with Big Orange in her arms. A human and a cat reading an ancient book. That¡¯s right, it was a story book.


    The first page of the book showed a countdown of five seconds.


    ¡­3, 2, 1.


    The storybook was unlocked. On it was a page of text: Hello, repairman from Earth.


    This is a storybook, a book that recorded old events. It was believed that you had already seen a lot about this plane when you were on Earth, but some things were not very detailed. There were some more detailed records in this book. Perhaps you could learn what you wanted to know. However, things happened in the same timeline as the information you read on Earth.


    A check requires the energy of a Level 3 Crystal Core or 100 System Coins. I hope this book can help you.


    Note: The last page is the general summary.


    There might be something you want to know. The things investigated in this book would be presented from the perspective of a person in the apocalypse.


    ¡°¡­It costs money to check things.¡±


    ¡°However, Big Orange, why is there an ink ball in front of every sentence? If you look carefully, it seems to be the same. The word ¡®meow¡¯?¡±


    It took Yun You a lot of effort to see what it was.


    ¡°Meow, how would I know?¡±


    Big Orange was also very puzzled. ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s not care so much for now. Let¡¯s see what it is.¡±


    Turning the page, it started with some small general knowledge of the apocalypse, such as that all the food in the apocalypse had been contaminated.


    No wonder they had bought so many things previously. It turned out that the food she brought from Earth was all untainted, unpolluted.


    In that case, wouldn¡¯t the system¡¯s pricing be a loss? Although she thought so, Yun You didn¡¯t plan to touch those prices.


    After that was a story that was neither long nor short. The protagonists of the story were actually people she knew, Lu Linyan and Ling Xuanwei.


    ¡°There¡¯s also this story in the previous information, but it¡¯s shorter. No wonder I said that the names Lu Lin and Ling Xuanwei are so familiar.¡±


    The story was like a novel outline. It only described many major events in a very general manner. There should be no mistake in this book. The ending was the same as what she had been reading previously. At the last moment of the city¡¯s destruction, a natural disaster happened. The sky was filled with flames, mountains, earthquakes, and tsunamis. However, these descriptions were all from God¡¯s perspective, and the ending came to an abrupt end.


    From the perspective of humans, they only saw the moment the city was destroyed. They did not see the destructive natural disaster. This was what happened in the previous timeline. Fortunately, time was reversed in time, and the people in the end did not experience the nightmare-like pain.


    When Yun You was looking at the information, she had seen the pictures of those natural disasters. There was really hell everywhere. If the world had not restarted, no one would have escaped.


    When Yun You saw the description in the book, she could not help but recall those terrifying images again. She felt endless emotions in her heart. Time restarted. Everything should still be in time.


    Something had happened to this plane, and she had asked for help from Earth. That was why she had come, with responsibility. When she came to this world, Yun You could feel the weight of the burden on her shoulders.


    ¡°Big Orange, why am I here?¡± Yun You¡¯s tone was a little heavy.


    ¡°Meow, I¡¯m not sure either,¡± Big Orange replied.


    ¡°What if I fail?¡± Yun You lowered her head. Big Orange sighed and wagged its tail. It raised its furry paw and patted Yun You¡¯s head gently. ¡°Meow, if you hadn¡¯t come, this world would still have been destroyed. Just do your best.¡±


    ¡°Meow, moreover, this concerns your own life, right? You will definitely succeed.¡±


    Yun You smiled. That¡¯s right! Her life was tied to this world. She would definitely succeed. ¡°Come, let¡¯s try its query function first.¡± Yun You took out a Level 3 nuclei and placed it on the page of the book. The system interface suddenly popped up. [Please enter what you want to query:] Yun You thought for a moment and typed a few words-Han Qichuan¡¯s past.

 Chapter 25 - Han Qichuans Past

    Chapter 25 Han Qichuan¡¯s Past


    [Please confirm if you want to check Han Qichuan¡¯s past.]


    Yun You didn¡¯t think too much about it and clicked confirm.


    [The search is successful. I wish you a happy reading.]


    The storybook turned the pages automatically, and lines of words appeared on the blank page.


    Not only did Chinese characters appear, but there were also a number of pictures.


    ¡°Wow! This book is amazing.¡±


    The first picture was of a little boy playing soccer on the lawn. There was a bright smile on his face. One could vaguely tell that this was Han Qichuan¡¯s childhood. The bright smile clearly showed that he had a blissful childhood.


    ¡°You looked so obedient when you were young. Why are you always pulling a long face when you¡¯re older?¡±


    Yun You was just complaining. She knew very well that he must have his difficulties. A child who used to live under the sun would not choose to stand in a dark corner for no reason.


    What had this happy little packrat experienced to become the demon king of the apocalypse in the previous timeline?


    Yun You felt a little emotional. Suddenly, she felt that she wanted to record his happy side, so she took out the system interface and took a photo of this happy childhood. She planned to send it to her phone later.


    She continued reading.


    Things had changed. That was when he was six years old. A plane crash had taken away a happy family.


    Dark clouds covered the sky. From then on, he never smiled again. It took him a long, long time to walk out of the shadows. He was forced to grow up a lot at such a young age. He had to bear the rain and wind alone in the future.


    After living under someone else¡¯s roof for twelve years, he had experienced everything he needed to experience. After he turned 18, he left the place he had always wanted to leave.


    What happened before the apocalypse was not recorded in detail in the storybook. Yun You, who had been very happy since she was young, could not resonate with the sadness. However, she could still feel the helplessness and hesitation from it.


    The text continued, and the page reached a new chapter.


    The storybook turned the page, and the first new word that appeared was that the color of the book had changed.


    The wooden-yellow page turned gray, and between the grays, it was stained with a bloody red.


    This was after the apocalypse.


    The apocalypse descended, and the rules collapsed.


    Han Qichuan, who was a step slower in awakening his ability, had once been ruthlessly thrown out as bait. He, who was seriously injured, was abandoned.


    He had once sworn that he would not let them have it easy.


    He risked his life and escaped danger. Later on, he awakened an Ice-element ability.


    After that, the apocalypse shouldn¡¯t be too difficult! Seeing Yun You, he heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°So Han Qichuan has an Ice-type ability.¡±


    The storybook continued.


    Ice-element ability. The heavens seemed to have played a joke on him. Why was it Ice-element?


    Han Qichuan was about to collapse. He wanted to cry but had no tears, but his life still had to continue.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Yun You was confused.


    What was going on? Why couldn¡¯t it be Ice? Wasn¡¯t the mutated attribute outside the five elements a great thing?


    However, the storybook did not have an explanation for this question.


    Yun You¡¯s heart was filled with panic. This kind of story only had half a d¨¦j¨¤ vu.


    Han Qichuan had been captured by the Dark Scorpion Organization. This could be said to be the darkest journey of his life, filled with despair and bloodshed.


    After the apocalypse, some lunatics disregarded morals and carried out human experiments.


    And he was Subject No. 1.


    Unknown potions, all kinds of experimental equipment, pains, shouts, anger, and struggles were useless. They were like mice that were at the mercy of others.


    Yun You covered her mouth in horror. Because of this part of the content, there were pictures in the book again.


    It was a dark and pale small room. The cold equipment flickered with a cold green light. Tubes of various colors were inserted into the person bound on the bed. This person was Han Qichuan.


    Veins bulged, and he screamed in pain. His expression was ferocious. How much pain did he have to suffer to make the distorted face face etched in Yun You¡¯s memory? Yun You didn¡¯t dare to look at the bloody words again. She just browsed through the experiment pictures one after another, again and again. Han Qichuan¡¯s expression changed from the initial twisted expression to slowly calm. There was no light in his eyes anymore, only a bottomless abyss.


    He seemed to have gotten used to it and forgotten what pain felt like.


    The day he was captured, he was trapped on the experiment table and fought with the other experimental subjects. After surviving, he was thrown aside to recover alone.


    After that, it was the whistle. The owner of the laboratory wanted to control their thoughts.


    With the hypnotic potion and the special whistle, day after day, Han Qichuan¡¯s consciousness was almost unable to hold on.


    Yun You suddenly remembered what Han Qichuan had told her earlier. He had heard the whistle and lost control. She could not help but clench her fists.


    Yun You suppressed her emotions and continued reading.


    He did not want to submit, did not want to become a mindless monster puppet. In the end, something still happened to him, when he was brought to C City to search for the Prism Fruit.


    By relying on his willpower to resist, he had a mental problem that affected the progress of the experiment.


    The experiment on Subject No. 1 was wasted, but it was not over. The master of the laboratory planned to inject him with something else unknown.


    The first experiment was useless, but the body had some value, and this thing seemed to have strange energy.


    He planned to use No. 1¡¯s body to carry out the subsequent research.


    This energy was obvious in just an hour.


    In order to prevent him from escaping, he injected another poison. If it was not removed within a day, he would definitely die. However, Han Qichuan still ran away. He used his damaged and mutated body and the pain-inducing Ice-element ability of his. The best opportunity to observe was also missed. The furious laboratory master gave subordinate another potion to speed up poison.


    the He instructed them to grab No. 1 and inject him. If he could hold on for an hour and was his still alive, they would bring him back for other research.


    He¡¯s dead.


    Just throw him further away.


    So, was this why she had seen him in that kind of place the day before yesterday? And why he had been in such a sorry state?


    Yun You¡¯s eyes were slightly red as she thought silently in her heart.


    In the end, Han Qichuan fell on a path. He prayed to the heavens, prayed for fate, and his last hope was that someone would pass by this place.


    The heavens were cruel, and fate was heartless.


    Just as he was about to collapse, Han Qichuan heard those curses. They had come. In the last moment before he fainted and closed his eyes, his eyes were filled with despair.


    In the end, Han Qichuan was brought back by them. Unfortunately, he lasted for an hour. He, who was still useful, had been saved and was still trapped in the laboratory, but his heart had already turned cold.


    ¡°Meow! Xiao You, calm down, calm down.¡±


    Seeing that Yun You was about to smash the book, Big Orange used its claws to press down on Yun You¡¯s hand that was holding the book.


    It looked at Yun You with its big blinking eyes and shook its round head. Yun You¡¯s eyes were cold. This was the first time Big Orange had seen her look like this.


    it?¡±


    ¡°This book is full of rubbish. What¡¯s the point of keeping ¡°Meow, meow! This is the story of the previous timeline!¡±


    Yun You calmed down and remembered what was mentioned in the book.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I was too agitated.¡± However, Yun You was still not in a good mood. She was still a little depressed. In the previous timeline, Han Qichuan did not have anyone to save him. How desperate must he have been at that time? His only chance to escape had disappeared just like that.


    ¡°Meow, didn¡¯t we save him?¡± Big Orange comforted her.


    Yun You heaved a sigh of relief and adjusted her state. She was still a little emotional and was brought in by the story in the book. ¡°Boss, what¡¯s wrong?¡±

 Chapter 26

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    After washing the dishes, Han Qichuan came out of the kitchen and saw Yun You squatting on the sofa. She was not in a good mood. When he walked in and took a closer look, he realized that the corners of Yun You¡¯s eyes were a little red.


    Had she cried earlier?


    Han Qichuan¡¯s eyes darkened and he suddenly felt his heart tighten.


    At this moment, Yun You had already adjusted her state of mind. Her mood had long calmed down, but she still had a slight nasal tone.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine. I just read a story and felt that the protagonist had suffered a lot.¡±


    Han Qichuan noticed the book in front of Yun You and did not want to see what kind of story it was. What he did not know was that even if he looked at it now, he would only see a blank page.


    ¡°Then how miserable is he?¡± Han Qichuan was puzzled.


    After spending three days together, Han Qichuan felt that Yun You was not the kind of person who liked to cry. However, he did not understand why she would cry when she saw others in a miserable state.


    Looking at Han Qichuan asking seriously, Yun You burst out laughing. ¡°Very tragically sad and miserable.¡±


    Han Qichuan was stunned for a moment. Then, he looked at Yun You and smiled. He didn¡¯t know what she was smiling about, but he didn¡¯t feel sad.


    The corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously before disappearing in the blink of an eye.


    ¡°Hey, Han Qichuan, you smiled again just now.¡±


    ¡°Is that so?¡±


    ¡°Try smiling again.¡±


    Han Qichuan tried his best to smile, but he was too stiff. Coupled with his originally serious face, he looked very comical. Yun You smiled even more happily. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t force yourself.¡±


    The gloomy atmosphere had completely disappeared. After Han Qichuan¡¯s interruption, Yun You felt very happy.


    After laughing, Yun You remembered something important.


    ¡°Han Qichuan, let me ask you a question.¡± Yun You hugged Big Orange and stroked its fur.


    Han Qichuan sat opposite Yun You and nodded for her to ask.


    ¡°If, and I mean if, what you¡¯ve lost are painful memories. Do you still want to get them back?¡±


    Yun You felt that this question was unnecessary. Because of the mission, she would definitely get it back for Han Qichuan.


    However, she wanted to know Han Qichuan¡¯s true thoughts now. Perhaps if it was that answer, it could ease the guilt in her heart.


    Han Qichuan was silent for a moment.


    No one would ask such a question for no reason. Perhaps Yun You had already heard about it from somewhere. When he lost control previously, he had some images in his mind. From these short fragments, he could tell that those memories were definitely not good.


    But¡ª


    ¡°Yes.¡± Han Qichuan nodded firmly.


    He did not want to live in a daze. Memories were just memories. Just because they were gone did not mean that they had never happened.


    Instead of forgetting, it was better to face it head-on.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    ¡°Boss, if I don¡¯t have anywhere to go, can you take me in?¡±


    Han Qichuan looked at Yun You with anticipation and a hint of cowardice in his eyes. After all, his past and hers were two extremes.


    Seeing Han Qichuan like this, Yun You smiled. ¡°Haven¡¯t you been staying here for two days? Am I going to chase you away? However, there¡¯s only one bed in the shop. You have to sleep on the sofa from then on.¡±


    She pointed at the sofa where Han Qichuan was sitting.


    Now that Han Qichuan¡¯s injuries had healed, he could sleep on the sofa.


    ¡°Okay!¡± His expression was still the same, but his tone was light. It was obvious that he was still very happy.


    Yun You smiled without saying anything, seeing that he was so happy to sleep on the sofa.


    Time passed in a flash. Yun You carried Big Orange back to her room.


    She could finally sleep on the bed today!


    Yun You spun around with Big Orange in her arms.


    ¡°Meow, don¡¯t shake me, meow.¡± Big Orange struggled.


    Yun You stopped, put down Big Orange, and prepared to sleep.


    However, she suddenly remembered that she still had something to do.


    She picked up the storybook that she had yet to put into her space. At this moment, Big Orange came to sit beside her. It had already guessed what Yun You was going to do and did not want to miss out on any news.


    Yun You summoned the system interface and paid 100 system coins on it. ¡°System, storybook check.¡±


    [Please enter the query content]


    Prism Fruit.


    [Prism Fruit¡­ will appear in the city center of C City tomorrow afternoon.]


    Tomorrow? So soon? It seemed like she has to go out again.


    ¡ª-


    At the temporary base of Cang Qing and Dragon Might.


    Dozens of people were gathered together. Captain Cang Qing was reading the list of people who would go to the center of C City tomorrow after discussing with Dragon Might.


    ¡°Wait, why am I not on the list?¡± Ling Xuanwei realized that the list didn¡¯t even have her name after reciting it. With her strength, she should be there. The peak of Level 3 was only Cheng Jun¡¯s strength.


    ¡°This¡­¡± The leader was in a dilemma.


    ¡°It was my decision.¡± Lu Linyan stood up from the side.


    ¡°Why?¡± Ling Xuanwei did not understand.


    ¡°It¡¯s too dangerous. That¡¯s not a place you should go,¡± Lu Linyan replied.


    ¡°I dare say that my strength is ranked third among everyone here. What right do you have to say that it¡¯s a place I shouldn¡¯t go?¡± Ling Xuanwei was a little angry.


    ¡°Be good and stop fooling around, alright? If anything happens to you, how am I going to answer to Chief Ling?¡± Lu Linyan wanted to try to persuade Ling Xuanwei to give up.


    ¡°No, Lu Linyan, do you know how serious the consequences will be if the zombies get the Prism Fruit? The chances of success are not high to begin with, and you still want to reduce our combat strength. Is there a Captain like you? Huh?¡±


    ¡°If you¡¯re not confident, why are you going when it¡¯s so dangerous? There¡¯s no room for negotiation!¡±


    ¡°I will definitely go,¡± Ling Xuanwei said angrily before turning around and running away.


    ¡°You¡­ come back.¡±


    Lu Linyan wanted to stop her, but it was too late.


    ¡°Captain, let me go and see Sister Wei!¡± Shan Tao suggested.


    Lu Linyan nodded.


    ¡°Sister Wei, wait for me.¡± Shan Tao chased after her.


    ¡°Captain Lu, I think what Ling Xuanwei said makes sense. Why don¡¯t you think about it again?¡± Cang Qing said. ¡°Moreover, if she wants to go, we can¡¯t stop her.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll think about it!¡± Lu Linyan rubbed his temples.


    ¡ª-


    ¡°Chen Fei, the news of the location of the Prism Fruit has been spread, right?¡± Han Bin lay on the bed. The backlash injury from before was a little serious.


    ¡°Brother Han, don¡¯t worry it.¡±


    Chen Fei patted his chest and peeled the fruits of the apocalypse. ¡°But Brother Han, didn¡¯t you already predict it? Why are you still here?¡±


    ¡°Although the outcome will change, I¡¯m still worried without seeing the final outcome.¡± Han Bin¡¯s tone was calm. ¡°By the way, have you called more people back?¡±


    ¡°I called them back. They might be here in a while.¡±


    Han Bin nodded. If things got chaotic, there would be trouble if there were too many people.


    ¡ª-


    In a room in this empty city, Mei shook her wine glass and admired the moonless night sky. She seemed to be unconsciously swaying through the crisscrossing streets, but she was actually planning the mission route for tomorrow.


    ¡°Sigh! The fruit will only ripen tomorrow afternoon! The location of the city center is really not easy to attack at all.¡± Mei¡¯s expression was not very good now.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s wait for the others. I hope they won¡¯t disappoint me!¡±


    C City was exceptionally quiet tonight. Only the quiet sound of the wind urged the green fruit on a huge vine in the center. Under the fruit, a deformed figure with a big head walked back and forth tirelessly.

 Chapter 27

    Early in the morning, the clouds in the sky were very thick, and the air was oppressive, as if it was about to rain.


    ¡°Where are you going?¡±


    Yun You was about to leave with Big Orange when she was stopped by Han Qichuan. Yun You had never thought of bringing Han Qichuan along. She left a note on the table for him and planned to leave before he noticed.


    However, she did not expect him to still discover her.


    ¡°I¡¯m going out to find something.¡± Yun You didn¡¯t tell him about the Prism Fruit mainly because she felt that there was no need for him to know.


    ¡°Mm.¡± Han Qichuan nodded and followed behind Yun You silently.


    It seemed like he was planning to go too.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you stay in the shop?¡± Yun You asked tentatively.


    ¡°Why?¡± Han Qichuan raised his eyebrows in confusion. Then, he looked at Big Orange in her arms. His meaning was very obvious. If she could bring this fat cat, why couldn¡¯t he come along?


    Big Orange exploded on the spot. ¡°Meow, meow, meow!!¡± Who are you talking about?


    Yun You quickly comforted Big Orange.


    [Hey! Big Orange, you¡¯re a magnanimous person. Don¡¯t lower yourself to the level of a person who has lost his memory.]


    However, Big Orange ignored her and reached out its claws to scratch Han Qichuan. Han Qichuan also glared back at the fierce cat. The man and cat were about to fight.


    Yun You panicked and blurted out, ¡°A bag of dried fish.¡±


    After saying that, she realized that Han Qichuan couldn¡¯t hear Big Orange¡¯s words now, so from Han Qichuan¡¯s point of view, this sentence was directed at him.


    As expected, Han Qichuan was stunned for a moment. Then, he suddenly said, ¡°Two bags. I won¡¯t argue with the smelly cat.¡±


    Big Orange meowed at this moment. [Meow! Two packets. I won¡¯t argue with this idiot.]


    Yun You¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Oh no!


    Then, there was an irritable meow. Yun You couldn¡¯t even hug it. Big Orange flew straight towards Han Qichuan¡¯s head.


    ¡°Meow! Meow! Meow!¡± [Human, who are you cursing?]


    Han Qichuan was quite skilled. He turned around and pinched the back of Big Orange¡¯s neck.


    He shook it off and Big Orange stuck to him again. Just like that, the man and cat were in a stalemate.


    ¡°¡­¡± Yun You pressed her forehead speechlessly.


    ¡°Alright, alright. I agree. Two packets!¡±


    Then, she said to Big Orange in her heart, ¡°Your larger version.¡±


    Only then did Big Orange return to Yun You¡¯s arms and look at Han Qichuan provocatively.


    After getting Yun You¡¯s promise, Han Qichuan ignored Big Orange. However, he said, ¡°Dried anchovies are dried anchovies. It was just a moment ago. I still have to go.¡±


    His eyes were firm, and his tone was unquestionable.


    ¡°You¡­¡± Yun You was a little shocked by Han Qichuan¡¯s shamelessness, but she couldn¡¯t refute him. After all, he really didn¡¯t say that he wouldn¡¯t go after getting the dried fish.


    ¡°I¡¯m serious. I can help and protect you.¡±


    Although Yun You had saved Han Qichuan twice, because they were close, Han Qichuan could clearly feel that Yun You¡¯s ability might be a little special, but her skills were like a rookie¡¯s. If she got close, it would be dangerous.


    That was indeed the case. Even if Yun You could be said to be quite skilled on Earth, ordinary men would not be her match. In this cruel apocalypse, her skills were really not up to standard.


    Even the first time she saved Han Qichuan was because she was lucky and did not encounter any danger on the way.


    The second time, if not for the shield given by the system and the series of imaginations of Cang Qing and the others, it would not have gone so smoothly.


    ¡°Hey! But if those people are still in C City, won¡¯t it be dangerous for you to go out?¡±


    ¡°What people?¡±


    Han Qichuan had lost his memory now. Yun You found out that she had let it slip and immediately tried to salvage the situation. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you lost control when you heard the whistle? If they find out, won¡¯t you be in danger?¡±


    Han Qichuan was silent for a moment. ¡°No.¡±


    Last time, he was not prepared at all. If he was on guard, there would not be a problem. That was the impression in his memory fragments.


    [Meow! Xiao You, bring him along! Although I don¡¯t like him, I have to admit that he¡¯s right. Meow!]


    Yun You thought about it and agreed.


    Although there was Big Orange, its energy was limited. It was true that she was not afraid of the virus, but in this apocalypse, it was a little useless. If she was surrounded by zombies, she could still be bitten to death.


    Her identity¡¯s ability was like a healing ability. It was completely harmless. A shield could not last long. She did not understand the use of a poker master¡¯s ability at all.


    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go! It¡¯s still early. We can also find a few men¡¯s clothes for you.¡±


    The clothes on Han Qichuan¡¯s body had gone through a lot. It was a little difficult to describe now, but Han Qichuan felt that it was nothing.


    After Yun You locked the door, the two of them and the cat officially set off for the city center.


    ¡ª-


    Lu Linyan thought about it for the entire night and still felt that he could not let Ling Xuanwei go.


    However, when he set off at noon, he saw Ling Xuanwei stubbornly standing in the group of four with her bag on her back. Her expression was stubborn, but in the end, he was defeated.


    ¡°Alright! I agree, but you can¡¯t force yourself.¡± Lu Linyan patted Ling Xuanwei¡¯s shoulder helplessly.


    Only then did Ling Xuanwei smile. She had not said a word to him since she ran away yesterday. She had unilaterally declared a cold war. Now, she replied to him, ¡°Yes! Captain.¡±


    Lu Linyan was helpless. It was also a problem for his girlfriend to be too strong.


    Including Ling Xuanwei, there were a total of five people in the team. Originally, it was Cheng Jun and his metal-type ability on Cang Qing¡¯s side. On Dragon Might¡¯s side, it was Lu Linyan and Big Fatty Zhang. Now, there was Ling Xuanwei as well.


    Among the five of them, Lu Linyan, who was at the early to mid-stage of the Fire element ability, was the strongest. Next was Cheng Jun, who was also about to reach Level 4 of his Fire element ability. Behind him was Ling Xuanwei, who was slightly inferior to Cheng Jun, and Wan Quan, who was comparable to Ling Xuanwei. The last was Big Fatty Zhang, who had just reached the peak of Level 3.


    In the eyes of the entire apocalypse, the strength of the five of them was alright. After all, it had only been three years since the apocalypse.


    ¡°Safety is the most important. No matter what the outcome is, Captain Lu, please bring them back with you,¡± the leader of Cang Qing said to Lu Linyan.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Captain Du. I¡¯ll have to trouble you to help evacuate the rest of the people,¡± Lu Linyan said.


    ¡°Leader, please protect He Linbing for the time being.¡±


    ¡°Haha, kid, no problem.¡±


    ¡­


    After that, Lu Linyan looked for Zhao Xuan. ¡°Zhao Xuan, calm down when you encounter trouble. I¡¯ll leave the matters in the Dragon Might team to you. If you have any problems, go find Captain Du.¡±


    ¡°No problem, Captain.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    Lu Linyan turned to the five-man team from before and returned to his position.


    It was time to set off.


    ¡°Captain, Sister Wei, you have to come back safely,¡± Shan Tao shouted with tears in her eyes. She actually wanted to follow them, but she was a Healer. She would only drag them down in such a dangerous place.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Ling Xuanwei made a promise.


    They would definitely be safe. Everyone would be safe. They would definitely, definitely come back safely!

 Chapter 28

    ¡°Boss, do you think that Mei is really confident?¡±


    Wang Tai¡¯s lackey asked.


    ¡°That¡¯s her business. What does it have to do with us? If it fails, she deserves it. I haven¡¯t even settled the score with her.¡±


    Outside C City, in the base of the Dark Scorpion Organization, Wang Tai was lying weakly on the bed. Last time, he was punished because of Mei. Now, his entire body was in pain. The punishment was facing a group of mutants. Although they were defective, it was still unbearable.


    ¡°Hey, you asshole, be gentle.¡±


    Wang Tai knocked his underling¡¯s head.


    The underling behind him was applying some medicine to Wang Tai. When he heard Wang Tai¡¯s words, he lost his grip and almost died on the spot again.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Boss.¡± The underling hugged his head and sounded a little aggrieved.


    Wang Tai was furious. He was the one in pain, but he still came up aggrieved.


    Wang Tai did not have the strength to argue with him.


    ¡°Alright, be careful next time.¡±


    ¡°Ok.¡±


    At this moment, Mei, who was being nagged by Wang Tai and the others, was about to reach City C alone. With her mental power to scout the way, she was unimpeded along the way. She planned to reach the location first and familiarize herself with the terrain so that it would be easier for her to move.


    ¡°It¡¯s comfortable to be alone. There are no burdens. Don¡¯t be too efficient.¡±


    After stopping the car, they had to walk in. Other than the Zombie King¡¯s territory in the center, the more zombies there were in the center, the larger the target of the car would be, the easier it would be to be exposed.


    ¡°Sigh! How troublesome. I still have to walk in myself.¡±


    After finding a place to hide her car, Mei carefully and secretly headed to the city center.


    In the distance, the Level 5 Zombie King under the mutant plant glanced over. After a while, it continued to walk around the mutant plant.


    After a while, Mei climbed up a building and looked through the window at the mutant plant that stood five stories tall in the center. On it was a green, angular polyhedron.


    This was the Prism Fruit!


    At the same time, she saw the zombies below.


    Troublesome. It seemed like she could only wait for both parties to fight it out first.


    After watching for a while, the Mei felt bored and retreated from the edge of the window.


    What she did not know was that if she had retreated a little later, she would have exchanged an affectionate look with the Zombie King.


    ¡ª-


    At around 12:30 in the morning, C City was getting quieter and quieter. The ordinary people who were collecting supplies had already left this dangerous city. The remaining people in the city were either zombies or Level 4 or close to Level 4 special ability users.


    The highest level known in the apocalypse was Level 5, so many forces had their own ideas about the Prism Fruit. Opportunity was related to risk, and the Zombie King of C City had undoubtedly dissuaded a portion of people.


    However, it did not stop those Level 4 special ability users from trying.


    However, there was now a special person in C City.


    In C City, a clothing store that was quite far from the city center.


    ¡°Han Qichuan, come over quickly,¡± Yun You shouted at Han Qichuan.


    Originally, the purpose of this trip was only Prism Fruit, but since they had encountered a clothing store, they might as well solve the problem of Han Qichuan¡¯s clothes.


    Han Qichuan had just cleared the last zombie nearby when he heard Yun You calling him.


    ¡°There¡¯s a men¡¯s clothing shop here. I can choose clothes for you.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    The store manager was quite bold. Other than when she vomited the firs ttime seeing the zombies being disemboweled, he had never seen her afraid when he was killing zombies. She even picked up a tree branch from the side of the road and helped him when he was fighting.


    In his weak impression, he vaguely remembered that if it was the apocalypse, ordinary girls would have long found a safe place to hide, or they would have followed their teammates and cleaned up the surrounding zombies.


    The cat was also strange. It followed Yun You steadily. When the zombies came, it yawned casually, looking like it was about to fall asleep. It didn¡¯t care about the zombies at all.


    Han Qichuan did not understand. Were zombies so harmless? Could it be that because he had lost his memory, his impression of the apocalypse was not clear?


    For Yun You, zombies were still a little threatening. When there were many zombies, she¡¯s never too far away from Han Qichuan.


    However, the zombies had been cleaned up. Even if there were still a small number of them around, Yun You expressed that there was nothing to be afraid of. She would not be infected.


    As for Big Orange, attacking these low-level monsters was simply a waste of its energy. Of course, it had to conserve its strength. There might still be zombies fighting the Zombie King. It would leave these zombies to the humans. At most, it would protect Yun You.


    Han Qichuan walked to Yun You¡¯s side and carefully sized up the men¡¯s clothing shop. Perhaps because the door of this shop was closed during the apocalypse, the things inside were relatively intact.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want it. I still have many dresses. I can lend them to you.¡± Yun You joked with Han Qichuan.


    Han Qichuan¡¯s expression froze. He was a little embarrassed and quickly walked into the shop.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± He pretended to be calm. ¡°Be careful and follow me closely.¡±


    ¡°Okay, haha.¡± Yun You stopped teasing him. She picked up Big Orange from the ground and followed him.


    In the room, dust had accumulated after too long.


    Fortunately, there were still many new clothes that had not been unwrapped under the clothes hanging on the hanger.


    Han Qichuan was patrolling around to see if there was any danger. Yun You did not cause trouble. Professional matters were best left to professionals. She was at the place where Han Qichuan had already patrolled and was choosing clothes. Big Orange also helped her pick and choose.


    ¡°This one is not bad. This one is fine. Also, this one is a summer short-sleeved shirt, an autumn sweater, and a few sweaters. Sigh¡­ I just don¡¯t have winter clothes. Forget it, I¡¯ll look for them when the time comes. Otherwise, I¡¯ll take one for myself.¡±


    ¡°Or if there¡¯s really no other way, make him wear a sweater and short sleeves.¡±


    ¡°Yes, let him choose his own underpants.¡±


    ¡°Wow, this is so cute. Panda pajamas, white tiger, gray wolf¡­¡±


    Big Orange looked at the animal-like clothes she had picked and covered its face with its claws. Out of sight, out of mind. It felt a little sorry for the human.


    ¡­


    Finding the right sizes for Han Qichuan depended on Yun You¡¯s memory. With her memories of treating his wound, she could not guarantee that they were completely accurate.


    When she felt that she was almost done choosing, Yun You called Han Qichuan.


    ¡°Han Qichuan, come here. Quickly try and see if it fits.¡± Yun You shook the gray short-sleeved shirt in her hand.


    Han Qichuan came over and looked at the size of the short-sleeved shirt in Yun You¡¯s hand. ¡°It¡¯s suitable.¡±


    ¡°What about this?¡± He held up a pair of black pants.


    ¡°Appropriate.¡±


    ¡°Hurry up and try it. If you don¡¯t try, how will you know if it¡¯s suitable?¡± Yun You urged Han Qichuan to change.


    ¡°Now?¡±


    ¡°Or what?¡±


    Han Qichuan hesitated for a moment before taking the clothes from Yun You¡¯s hand. He took off his clothes on the spot and prepared to try them on.

 Chapter 29

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Looking at his perfect abs, well-proportioned muscles, and sexy V-line, Yun You was stunned on the spot.


    Who am I? Where am I? What am I going to do?


    By the time she reacted, Han Qichuan had already changed and stood in front of her.


    ¡°You¡­¡± Yun You said hesitantly.


    ¡°?¡±


    Han Qichuan turned to look at her.


    Initially, she had planned to let Han Qichuan go to the open fitting room to change. In the end, she didn¡¯t expect¡­ Forget it. It wasn¡¯t like she hadn¡¯t seen it before. Moreover, she wasn¡¯t the one at a disadvantage.


    ¡°Yes, looks good.¡± Yun You¡¯s words made many turns in her mouth.


    Han Qichuan nodded and did not say anything else.


    Yun You put the remaining clothes into the system¡¯s space. She felt that there was no need to hide the fact that there was space since he might discover it in the future anyway.


    Seeing the pile of clothes in front of him disappear, Han Qichuan raised his eyebrows. ¡°Space power?¡±


    ¡°Ah? Yes, it¡¯s spatial ability,¡± Yun You replied.


    If it was the System Space, it would be difficult to explain her identity. It was good to misunderstand it as a spatial ability.


    Han Qichuan¡¯s eyes were dark. No, it was not a spatial ability. At such a close distance, it was not impossible for him to not sense the fluctuations of her ability.


    However, Han Qichuan did not ask further.


    He said to Yun You, ¡°In the future, don¡¯t use it in front of others.¡±


    Yun You thought that he was worried that her ¡°healing ability¡± and ¡°spatial ability¡± would attract the envy of others and put her in danger.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Until now, I¡¯ve only used it in front of you,¡± Yun You said to Han Qichuan.


    ¡°Ok.¡±


    ¡°Oh, that¡¯s right. You can pick your own underwear over there,¡± Yun You said as she pointed in a direction.


    The tips of Han Qichuan¡¯s ears turned slightly red. Then, he went over to take a few boxes. The boxes were stacked, and the underpants under them were brand new.


    ¡°Meow! Don¡¯t you think you look like a couple who came to shop? You picked out clothes and tried them on. He even changed in front of you!¡± Big Orange moved in front of Yun You.


    ¡°Hey, don¡¯t talk nonsense. Can¡¯t normal friends help pick out clothes?¡± Yun You picked up Big Orange and rubbed its fur fiercely.


    ¡°Meow! He¡¯s still changing in front of you.¡± Big Orange glanced at Yun You. ¡°Meow, don¡¯t mess up my fur.¡±


    ¡°Maybe he didn¡¯t react at that time.¡± Yun You straightened Big Orange¡¯s fur again.


    It was only after Yun You thought about it that she realized that Han Qichuan might really not have reacted. The short period of hesitation he had was evident.


    However, Yun You did not expect that even so, Han Qichuan had agreed to her request.


    After a while, Han Qichuan picked up a few boxes and put them all into the space.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go take a look at the shoe shop next door.¡± Yun You walked in front with Big Orange in her arms.


    Even if he had all his clothes, she could not leave his shoes behind!


    ¡°Okay.¡± Han Qichuan quickly followed.


    After a while¡­


    Looking at the new Han Qichuan, Yun You clapped her hands and let Han Qichuan spin around. She sized him up and said, ¡°Not bad, not bad.¡±


    The casual sports style highlighted youth and vitality. It would be even better if Han Qichuan didn¡¯t have a straight face. However, when she thought of the effect of calling Han Qichuan to smile a few times, Yun You chose to give up.


    So be it!


    It could be said that he was a cool guy who loved sports. If it was his previous stiff smile, he could only be a big fool.


    [Meow! You still look decent.] Big Orange complained to Yun You.


    Yun You smiled and didn¡¯t comment.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s continue walking!¡± Yun You also put away her shoes. How could a pair of shoes be enough? She had to have enough options.


    Han Qichuan nodded and followed.


    Suddenly, Han Qichuan threw Yun You to the side.


    Boom¡ª


    A huge rock landed where Yun You was standing just now, causing a large amount of dust to fly.


    ¡°Cough cough¡ª¡± Yun You could only cover her mouth and nose with one hand because she was hugging Big Orange.


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    Just as she asked, Han Qichuan had already pounced forward in his half-transformation state to intercept a black shadow that was advancing quickly.


    The black shadow wanted to change directions and circle around, but Han Qichuan did not give him a chance. He directly attacked violently. The area covered was large, blocking all the path of the black shadow.


    When he stopped, Yun You could see through the thin smoke and dust that it was a human in a black trench coat, not a zombie. However, now that he was stopped, his expression was obviously dissatisfied, and his eyes were filled with hostility.


    Han Qichuan also looked at him warily.


    The man in black looked back worriedly. Then, he used an extremely short period of time to look at his surroundings. When his gaze moved from Han Qichuan to Yun You, a strange smile appeared on his lips.


    He suddenly accelerated, and a gust of air swept up around him. He attacked Yun You with both hands, as if he wanted to capture her as a hostage.


    Sensing his intentions, Han Qichuan hurriedly rushed between the two of them in an attempt to stop his attack. At this moment, Yun You had already prepared her shield.


    Just as Han Qichuan was about to catch him, the man in black quickly changed directions and dodged his obstruction from the side. He rushed straight towards Yun You.


    Just as Yun You was about to use the shield, the man in black turned around and ran back.


    When they passed by, Yun You saw him smile mockingly again and heard a very small voice¡ªBye-bye!


    This guy must be crazy!


    Yun You was speechless.


    ¡°Are you injured?¡± Han Qichuan ran over anxiously.


    Han Qichuan felt a little guilty. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he didn¡¯t block it¡­


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, he¡¯s fine. But why is he so fast?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the Wind-element ability. His level is relatively high,¡± Han Qichuan replied.


    After blocking his first attack, Han Qichuan clearly felt a strong impact of the guy¡¯s ability.


    ¡°Why is he in such a hurry?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure.¡± Han Qichuan shook his head.


    It seemed that he might really be a lunatic.


    ¡°¡­¡±


    In the next second, Yun You knew the answer. Han Qichuan carried her and dodged to the side again. An iron rod as thick as an arm struck down.


    ¡°Bang!¡±


    At this moment, a zombie nearly two meters tall walked out from the side of the alley. It held an iron rod in its hand and looked fierce with shining eyes.


    This food should taste even better than the one that ran away. Its greedy eyes and saliva dripped all over the ground.


    Yun You thought to herself, Hey, have we seen this zombie somewhere before?


    Yun You had indeed seen this zombie a few times. The first time, he had watched it chase after Lu Linyan and Ling Xuanwei in the shop. The second time, it was chasing after Cheng Jun. The third time was this time, it was chasing after the man in black.


    Now, it might be chasing after her and Han Qichuan.


    A peak Level 4 Strength-type zombie was considered a powerhouse at the peak of the apocalypse. At least until now, no human dared to fight it head-on.


    It was obvious that the two of them had suffered an undeserved calamity. The man in black had long run away, leaving only the two of them as live targets.

 Chapter 30

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Yun You gritted her teeth in anger. That guy was definitely diverting the trouble over to them! She better not see that guy again in the future, or else¡­


    Han Qichuan put Yun You down and looked at her. Then, he said, ¡°Go. I¡¯ll block it.¡± His expression was firm.


    Han Qichuan turned around and faced the zombies. Scales appeared, and a greenish-gray cold light was oppressive. A strong tail flaunted its might.


    The scales almost covered his entire body and clung to Han Qichuan¡¯s body like a set of tough armor. The appearance of his tail meant that Han Qichuan had to use his full strength.


    Yun You wanted to pull him back. Even in his full form, Han Qichuan was probably not a match for a Level 4 zombie. Wasn¡¯t this courting death?


    Moreover, he was the start of her unfinished mission. How could Yun You leave alone and leave him to face danger alone?


    To be more practical, if Han Qichuan was dead, the starting mission would definitely fail. If the starting mission failed, Yun You would most likely die. Yun You was more unlucky than not usually. There was a high chance that this rebooted world would be lonely again.


    However, Han Qichuan didn¡¯t give her any time. After saying that, he rushed towards the zombie. Hey, who asked you to fight? Running was the right thing to do!!


    Yun You was not sensitive to such battles, so it was normal for her not to know. Han Qichuan chose him to block because they were very close to the attackers. He would definitely not be able to dodge with Yun You. Only by choosing to attack could Yun You escape.


    However, this was the first time Han Qichuan had seen this zombie. He didn¡¯t know that it had an Earth-element ability. His idea wouldn¡¯t work against an area-of-effect ability. There was no way to escape.


    However, Yun You had never planned to leave just like that. Firstly, it was impossible for her to give up on her from the perspective of friends or missions. Secondly, wasn¡¯t Big Orange still around? Moreover, she still had her experience as a poker master!


    After Yun You set it down, she would let it deal with the more difficult situations that might happen in the future. Now, there was only one choice left¡ªa day of master poker experience.


    Yun You quickly opened the system interface in the air and clicked on the item she had obtained. She found the ¡®Poker Master¡¯.


    Click to use.


    [System Notification: Congratulations, Poker Master¡¯s ability has been successfully used. The experience duration is one day. I wish you happy usage!]


    The Strength Zombie attacked and smashed down with the iron rod. The airflow around the iron rod was enough to hurt people. Even the Zombie King of C City did not dare to receive the attack head-on.


    Recently, its food had provoked it time and time again and left safely. It was very angry now.


    Dodge? If it directly chased after Yun You, it would be troublesome!


    Deng¡ª


    It sounded like metal colliding.


    Han Qichuan forcefully withstood this attack. This was the first time someone could withstand a frontal attack from a top-notch zombie.


    Roar¡ª


    The zombies roared at him, followed by a rain of attacks.


    Yun You should have run far away. This time, he had to dodge the attack. It was not without cost that he blocked the zombie¡¯s attack previously. His arms were numb from the shock.


    Han Qichuan dodged to the side, but his ankle was fixed by the soil.


    Earth-type ability?! Oh no, Yun You will be in danger later!


    Han Qichuan blocked with both hands, and the zombie¡¯s attacks became heavier and heavier.


    Han Qichuan¡¯s eyes darkened. He had to hold on for a while longer and buy more time for Yun You. This was a zombie with special abilities!


    No one noticed the gray light flashing across Han Qichuan¡¯s chest. Even he himself did not know that his body had unknowingly been strengthened.


    Han Qichuan made up his mind and his claws trembled. An ice shield was about to appear above him.


    Roar!


    The zombie roared again. Hateful food!


    The soil strengthened the restraints on Han Qichuan¡¯s legs again and prepared to smash him.


    Whoosh¡ª


    A poker card quickly spun and flew over. The Strength Zombie endured the discomfort and hurriedly braked. It stopped its arm and bent it to the side to avoid the poker card¡¯s attack.


    If the zombie had an expression, it would definitely be in shock and its eyes would be filled with fear.


    Because of this poker card, it felt fear for the first time.


    Level 4 zombies were different from low-level zombies. Other than the brainless zombies at Level 1 and Level 2, they were the most ordinary. At Level 3, they would know when to retreat or fight. At Level 4, they had a sense of danger, and at Level 5, they had basic intelligence.


    The higher the level, the more perfect and refined the zombie¡¯s abilities were. Fortunately, there were only few above Level 3. Otherwise, humans would be in danger.


    ¡ª-


    A street away from Yun You and the others.


    The three of them gathered in an empty shop. Some were leaning against the wall, while others were squatting on the ground with impatient expressions. The atmosphere was tense, as if they were waiting for something.


    Upon closer inspection, one could see the black wolf head symbol on their clothes.


    ¡°When is Master Feng coming back? Is he in danger?¡±


    ¡°Tsk, you¡¯re underestimating Master Feng too much. Other than the Zombie King, who else in C City can keep Master Feng?¡±


    ¡°Jiang Xiu, are you having a hard time if you don¡¯t fight with me for a day? I¡¯m f*cking concerned about Master Feng.¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about Master Feng¡¯s strength. You¡¯re just worried. Your strength is not good every day. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡±


    ¡°F*ck, are you looking for a beating, huh?¡±


    ¡°Come on, who¡¯s afraid of who?¡±


    The man in the suit couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. ¡°Stop! If you attract the surrounding zombies, you¡¯ll suffer.¡±


    Only then did the two of them return to their original positions resentfully. Jiang Zhi did not forget to say ruthlessly, ¡°Just you wait. I¡¯m a dog if I don¡¯t beat you up when we get back.¡±


    ¡°Hehe.¡± Jiang Xiu sneered.


    Qin Ren: ¡°¡­¡±


    Qin Ren was a little speechless. These two brothers really couldn¡¯t get through without a fight, right? He really wanted Master Feng to come back quickly and didn¡¯t want to stay with them at all.


    The man in black stopped at the door and patted the dust off his body. Just as he was about to push open the door and enter, he heard the conversation above.


    ¡°Ahem.¡± The man in black pushed open the door and coughed twice to remind them of his existence.


    ¡°Master Feng.¡±


    The two of them, who had almost fought just now, were now as obedient as chicks.


    ¡°Master Feng, what happened?¡± Qin Ren went forward and asked. According to normal times, their master should have returned a long time ago.


    ¡°Something did happen, but I was lucky to meet two unlucky fellows.¡±


    The man in black was called Yan Fenglang, the boss of the largest underground force in the Cold North Mountain Range after the apocalypse. His goal this time was also Prism Fruit.


    However, after he came here, he had another pleasant surprise. It was a Level 4 initial-stage Speed-type zombie, and a Speed-type zombie with a broken leg and half its body burned for some reason.


    This was simply a pie dropped from the sky. A Level 4 Speed Crystal Core, and the difficulty of gaining one was so low. It was impossible for Yan Fenglang not to be tempted.


    However, the problem was that the zombie had always been attached to the giant zombie, so it was not easy to attack.


    Therefore, he called them to leave and wait while he found an opportunity to obtain the Level 4 nuclei.


    However, he did not expect that the giant zombie would rely on its perception of the nuclei to chase after him for a few streets. Fortunately, his luck today was not bad.


    Two of them attracted hatred.


    Otherwise, it would really take him a lot of effort to escape.

 Chapter 31

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ¡°Master Feng, absorb the nuclei now. We¡¯ll help you look around,¡± Jiang Zhi suggested.


    It was rare for Jiang Xiu not to talk back to him. He nodded in agreement.


    Qin Ren had the same opinion. After all, they still had to compete for the Prism Fruit later on. The stronger Master Feng was, the higher their chances of winning. He even found a chair and gestured for Master Feng to sit.


    Jiang Zhi, who was at the side, was impressed. As expected of the No. 1 person under Master Feng. He had to learn.


    When Jiang Xiu saw his brother¡¯s expression, he didn¡¯t need to think twice to know what his brother was thinking. Was Brother Qin the right hand man because of this? He was talented! Talent!


    Jiang Xiu rolled his eyes speechlessly. If Master Feng wasn¡¯t here, he really wanted to punch him twice.


    Regarding Jiang Zhi¡¯s suggestion, Yan Fenglang thought for a while before taking the nuclei to absorb. Firstly, it was to prevent the giant zombie from looking for him again, and secondly, it was to increase his level. There must be a lot of Level 4 special ability users in the city center this afternoon.


    ¡ª-


    On the road.


    The poker cards forced the giant zombie to change the direction of its attack, allowing Han Qichuan to catch his breath. A few more poker cards flew out.


    This time, the target was not a zombie, but Han Qichuan. To be precise, it was the soil on Han Qichuan¡¯s leg.


    Bam!


    The soil shattered. After being set free, Han Qichuan quickly rolled to the side and escaped the zombie¡¯s attack range.


    Han Qichuan turned to the source of the poker cards, wanting to see who had lent him a helping hand. The moment he saw it, his unchanging face revealed a rare surprised expression.


    Yun You held a card fan in her hand. Big Orange, who was dozing off, stood on her shoulder and walked towards him.


    Yun You pressed her fingers together, and the fan disappeared after the cards combined. Her fair wrist turned, and another poker card appeared out of thin air between her fingers.


    Flipping again, the poker card flew out and headed straight for the zombies.


    The giant zombie was actually forced to dodge left and right by the poker cards that were not even the size of its palm. It retreated step by step and did not dare to touch the poker cards at all.


    Thud!


    The zombie unintentionally waved another wooden stick and blocked the poker card.


    The poker card was stabbed straight into the wooden stick and finally dissipated.


    Yun You picked up another poker card, but she was not in a hurry to throw it out. Instead, she slowly approached. From the moment the poker card was revealed, the Strength Zombie had already retreated. The soil around it was a little restless. Clearly, it was ready to unleash its Earth-type ability on her.


    Yun You walked to Han Qichuan¡¯s side and stopped. The zombies were already forced far away by her.


    ¡°Han Qichuan, are you alright? How are you?¡±


    Yun You asked worriedly.


    The few knocks just now did not look easy. One could imagine the strength of the Level 4 zombie¡¯s attack. Ordinary people might have been smashed into meat paste long ago.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the usage of the Master Poker ability had to be matched with the special boxed poker cards rewarded by the system, she wouldn¡¯t have wasted any time. Fortunately, it wasn¡¯t too late now.


    ¡°I¡¯m okay.¡±


    Han Qichuan shook his head at Yun You.


    Han Qichuan got up from the ground. His scales disappeared, and his transformation ended. He couldn¡¯t help but cough twice and shake his numb arms.


    Although the zombies¡¯ attacks were abnormally fierce, Han Qichuan was definitely not as seriously injured as Yun You had imagined.


    His physicality was different from ordinary people to begin with. Coupled with the protection of the mutated scales, he only suffered some physical pain. At most, it was very painful. He was not seriously injured.


    In fact, Han Qichuan didn¡¯t feel much pain either. For some reason, this pain was like a common occurrence for him. It was even worse than a common occurrence.


    He vaguely felt that he had experienced something a thousand times more painful than this.


    Yun You sighed softly. She suddenly realised that as long as he was still alive, everything else was fine for Han Qichuan. It seemed that she had to personally check to know the extent of his injuries.


    Roar¡ª


    The zombie¡¯s angry roar was earth-shattering.


    After the poker cards were blocked and dissipated, the zombie no longer felt the intimidating fear and began to jump again.


    The two pieces of food in front of him looked very fragrant.


    This zombie was a little afraid of Yun You now. However, it was still a zombie after all. It was bloodthirsty and devouring life was an instinct that was difficult to disobey. Moreover, it did not want to go against the natural instinct that came from the depths of its heart.


    Yun You was still worried about Han Qichuan¡¯s injuries. It seemed that if she didn¡¯t deal with the zombies first, she wouldn¡¯t be able to see him.


    She exhaled softly and raised her right hand. With a snap of her fingers, a card fan similar to the one from before appeared in her hand. Her arm drew a semicircle, and the poker cards from before floated in the air.


    She pointed forward.


    Aim and fire!


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The zombie felt fear again the moment the poker cards appeared. It felt even clearer than last time, just like how it had once been locked onto by its king.


    Instinctively, the Earth-type ability formed a shield in front of it, and it turned around and ran.


    The shield blocked a few of them. The strength of the Level 4 Earth-type Arcana¡¯s full-strength defense could be imagined.


    However, when A touched the shield, the entire shield shattered in less than a second.


    Poker A¡¯s special effect¡ªBreaking Barriers.


    Han Qichuan was a little surprised. Even if he used his full strength now, he might not be able to break this shield.


    He looked at the poker cards floating beside Yun You.


    Controlling objects? The ability of psychic power. The boss also had psychic power?


    Yun You, who had been mistaken for a very strong person, found it unbelievable.


    [I¡¯m actually so powerful. Then why did I want to hire bodyguards previously?!]


    [Meow, you¡¯re using the experience time. It won¡¯t cost energy.]


    Big Orange couldn¡¯t help but speak up to shatter her beautiful fantasy.


    [?]


    [Meow, that means that after today, it will consume energy to get the Poker Master ability to use it again. Meow, calculated in system coins.]


    [Meow, and that box of poker cards has the effect of suppressing zombies. Meow, but if you hit someone, I guarantee that your poker cards won¡¯t even leave a mark.]


    Big Orange continued to attack.


    Yun You: ¡°¡­¡±


    She remembered that the most dangerous existence in the apocalypse seemed to be humans.


    No, she had to find a bodyguard!


    After the shield broke, several poker cards caught up to the zombies, but all of them missed their targets perfectly.


    The only card that hit him only grazed him. Even though the poker card¡¯s effect on zombies was doubled, it only caused a wound.


    The Strength-type zombie roared and ran away without looking back. Its cumbersome body also erupted with extreme speed and disappeared into the alley in the blink of an eye.


    Big Orange covered its face with one paw. It could not bear to look at it.


    This poop scooper was too embarrassing!


    What kind of hellish master was this!


    [Meow! Take aim and hit it!]


    Yun You: ¡°¡­¡±


    She wanted to hit it, but it was her first time using it. Although her accuracy was a little poor, it was understandable!


    In short, she had done her best.


    Han Qichuan lowered his eyes and fell into confusion.

 Chapter 32

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    If his remnant memories were still normal, then controlling objects should be a Metal-type or Psychic-type ability. Those flying cards did not look like metal at all, so there was a high chance that they were controlled by Psychic-type abilities.


    To be able to break through the shield¡¯s spiritual power to control objects, her spiritual level should be very high. Since her spiritual power was very high, there should be no problem in aiming.


    However, the reality was almost completely empty. If it was a psychic ability, then it was simply a contradictory existence.


    It should also be another unknown ability.


    ¡°Show me your hand.¡±


    Yun You¡¯s voice suddenly interrupted Han Qichuan¡¯s thoughts.


    His body was a step faster than his brain. By the time Han Qichuan reacted, his arms had already reached out. Han Qichuan was a little surprised. From his previous state, his body¡¯s vigilance should be quite high.


    After thinking about it, he finally found the reason. It was probably because he had been very close to her these few days and could completely trust her to stay by her side.


    ¡°Tsk, is this what you mean by nothing?¡± Yun You frowned.


    Han Qichuan¡¯s arm was covered in bruises. Just looking at Yun You made him feel pain.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt. It just looks scary,¡± Han Qichuan said in a low voice.


    If it was an ordinary person, their tone did not seem to be much of a problem.


    However, Yun You knew that ever since she had interacted with Han Qichuan for the past few days, Han Qichuan had been using this tone. How could she judge?!


    ¡°Don¡¯t force yourself. What happens next will be very dangerous.¡± Yun You still advised, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about my safety. Didn¡¯t you see it just now? Moreover, my skills are still alright for now.¡±


    The ability of a poker master not only had the special effect of controlling and triggering poker cards, but it could also strengthen the user¡¯s skills to a certain extent.


    Han Qichuan looked at Yun You again. From her standing posture and aura, she was much better than before. However, in the apocalypse, she only had the ability to protect herself.


    It was really strange. She was clearly like a rookie when he went out. In a short period of time, her skills had grown so much. It was unbelievable. What a strange special ability?


    However, Han Qichuan had no intention of investigating in detail, at least not now.


    However, if he encountered a close combat expert, Yun You would still be in danger with such skills that could only protect herself. Moreover, with Yun You¡¯s accuracy just now, Han Qichuan did not think that Yun You could beat the zombies with poker cards before she got close.


    If Yun You knew what Han Qichuan was thinking at this moment, she would definitely shout, ¡°How can you kill him with one hit?¡± She was just not used to it the first time. Didn¡¯t you see that she almost hit those poker cards?


    ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Han Qichuan paused for a moment, as if he was looking for a way to make Yun You trust him.


    ¡°You don¡¯t believe me? Hit me.¡±


    Han Qichuan didn¡¯t even blink when he said this.


    Yun You looked at the large patch of green and purple for a long time. When she thought of Han Qichuan¡¯s words, she felt a faint pain.


    How ruthless!


    ¡°Alright, there¡¯s no need to fight. I believe you.¡± To be able to say such a thing, it seemed that there was really nothing wrong.


    ¡°If you have something to say, you must say it.¡± Yun You couldn¡¯t help but remind him again.


    Han Qichuan nodded slightly.


    Yun You hugged Big Orange on her shoulder again. ¡°Then let¡¯s go. We should go to the city center.¡±


    Calculating, by that time they reached, it might be about time.


    They didn¡¯t have any means of transportation. The cars around them were already broken. They had no choice but to walk over.


    ¡°Ok.¡±


    ¡®What are we doing in the city centre?¡¯


    Although Han Qichuan was puzzled, he still followed Yun You¡¯s footsteps.


    ¡ª-


    It was around one in the afternoon.


    In an abandoned shop on the streets of C City.


    Yan Fenglang, who was sitting in his seat, opened his eyes. A white light flashed in his eyes.


    It took him nearly 15 minutes to finally absorb the Level 4 ability nuclei. Unfortunately, it was only an early-stage Level 4 nuclei. It was only enough for him to advance from the early-stage to the mid stage of Level 4.


    However, it was still a good harvest.


    ¡°Congratulations on improving Master Feng¡¯s strength.¡± Jiang Zhi saw that Yan Feng had woken up and immediately went forward to suck up to him.


    Jiang Xiu covered his face. He couldn¡¯t bear to watch. His brother was too embarrassing.


    Yan Fenglang did not know whether to laugh or cry. A figure suddenly appeared in front of him and he almost punched him.


    ¡°Alright, stop wasting time. Let¡¯s hurry up and get down to business,¡± Yan Feng said seriously.


    ¡°Mm-hmm.¡± Jiang Zhi put away his previous expression.


    Yan Feng looked around and saw that only these two brothers were around, but Qin Ren was nowhere to be seen. He asked in confusion, ¡°Huh? Where did Qin Ren go?¡±


    ¡°Brother Qin drove over. He might be here in a while,¡± Jiang Xiu replied.


    Due to various reasons, their car was parked outside the city. Now that they wanted to go to the city center, the sooner the better. They could occupy a favorable position and familiarize themselves with the terrain. After all, there would definitely be a battle in the afternoon.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Yan Feng nodded, indicating that he understood.


    A few minutes later, an off-road vehicle with a scratched shell stopped outside the shop. Qin Ren got out of the car.


    ¡°Master.¡± When he entered and saw Master Feng, he greeted him respectfully.


    Yan Feng nodded. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    The four of them got into the car and headed towards the city center.


    ¡ª-


    In a building in the city center, a man and a woman walked around the room. From time to time, they would turn their bodies and carefully observe the vine in the middle below.


    The atmosphere was a little anxious.


    ¡°Brother Han, is that the Prism Fruit? Why is it so green?¡± The person who was peeking sideways was Chen Fei. As for why he had to hide and watch at this distance, it was because¡­


    It was Han Bin¡¯s request. He said that they had to be careful.


    Although Chen Fei felt that it was making a mountain out of a molehill, it was already so far away. Could the zombies still see it? However, he did not want to anger Han Bin and obediently did as he was told.


    ¡°Of course the fruit is green before it ripens. It only ripened this afternoon. When it ripens, it will turn red.¡± Han Bin¡¯s voice was cool and unhurried.


    At this moment, although he looked very calm on the surface, he was even more anxious than Chen Fei. In the end, he was still worried about not seeing the final outcome.


    Or did he want to see the ending again?


    Han Bin, who was sitting on the chair, put down the magazine issued by the apocalypse base in his hand. He spread out his right hand and activated his ability, planning to summon the water mirror again.


    When a water ball appeared in his right hand.


    ¡°Brother Han!!!¡± Chen Fei ran over and scattered the water ball that had just condensed with one hand. ¡°Brother Han, do you want to die?¡±


    ¡°Are you teaching me how to do things?¡±


    His tone was calm, but it made Chen Fei¡¯s scalp tingle.


    ¡°I wouldn¡¯t dare.¡± Brother Han must be angry!


    Seeing that Han Bin was about to summon the Water Mirror again, Chen Fei could only muster up his courage to disperse him.


    ¡°Chen Fei!¡±


    Chen Fei shivered, but he still stood respectfully at the side.


    ¡°Brother Han, no matter how much you punish me today, I can¡¯t let you continue That ability is especially harmful to the body. Yesterday, you used it twice and suffered a backlash. No matter what, you can¡¯t look again today.¡±


    Han Bin took a deep breath to adjust his emotions. ¡°Nothing will happen this time.¡±


    ¡°Do you believe this yourself?¡± Chen Fei carefully contradicted.


    ¡°You¡­¡±


    Seeing that Han Bin was about to flare up again, Chen Fei immediately lowered his head.


    ¡°Sigh! Forget it, I¡¯m not watching anymore. You don¡¯t have to watch over me,¡± Han Bin said helplessly. In the end, he compromised, but he didn¡¯t want to see him now.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Seeing that Han Bin really had no intention of looking again, Chen Fei retreated to the window. He thought for a moment and turned around to say, ¡°Brother Han, sometimes you rely too much on your water mirror ability.¡±


    After Han Bin heard this, he quietly looked at his right hand.


    ¡®Really? Overly dependent?¡¯


    However, if he could know in advance, wouldn¡¯t there be a better way to deal with it?

 Chapter 33

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ¡°Master Feng, we¡¯re about to enter the city center. Should we stop and walk in?¡± Qin Ren drove in front and asked Yan Feng, who was behind.


    The closer he got to the city center, the more Qin Ren clearly felt that the number of zombies had increased. If he drove straight in, it would be very obvious.


    ¡°Yes, I stopped at the corner ahead,¡± Yan Fenglang replied after some consideration.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    The three of them got out of the car, and the low-leveled zombies immediately surrounded them. As expected, the zombies were quickly cleaned up and the nucleis were dug out. Although the level of the nucleis was low, they were still valuable and could not be wasted.


    The three of them did not even use their weapons to deal with these zombies.


    * * *


    In the apocalypse, when one¡¯s ability reached a certain level, weapons and abilities would produce an unbelievable effect.


    For example, Lu Linyan¡¯s long saber.


    Therefore, other than a small number of ability users, most ability users would choose their own weapons.


    Of course, if there were conditions, they would choose another gun. Although guns were not a threat to special ability users most of the time, when one¡¯s power was exhausted, even the most inconspicuous firearms were not a joke.


    However, firearms were basically important resources used by the base for defense.


    It was in high demand and scarce. The supply could not meet the demand.


    After all, this was a world dominated by ordinary people. There were still very few special ability users.


    * * *


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. Try not to alarm the zombies in the city center. If they are alarmed, we have to deal with them as soon as possible!¡± Yan Fenglang ordered them.


    ¡°Ok,¡± the three of them replied.


    This was the territory marked by the Zombie King. Ordinary zombies would not enter rashly. Yan Fenglang¡¯s worry was a little unnecessary.


    The four of them entered the boundary and went around the streets and alleys. They entered the city center and found a suitable place to observe. Everything was ready and they were just waiting for the opportunity.


    However, what they did not know was that while they were hiding, the Zombie King, who was wandering under the plant, looked in their direction without any warning and continued to guard under the Prism Fruit.


    ¡ª-


    Twenty minutes later, the five of them from Cang Qing and Dragon Might were about to reach the city center.


    ¡°Let¡¯s stop. Let¡¯s go in and not alert the enemy,¡± Ling Xuanwei said.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Lu Linyan nodded and drove to a relatively quiet place with fewer zombies.


    The five of them got out of the car and dealt with the surrounding zombies. After picking up the nucleis, they began to discuss their future plans.


    ¡°Our main goal is not to obtain it, but to destroy it,¡± Ling Xuanwei emphasized.


    ¡°But Big Sis Wei, that¡¯s a Prism Fruit, isn¡¯t it?¡± Big Fatty Zhang¡¯s heart ached.


    ¡°If we can¡¯t get it, no matter what it is, it¡¯s useless to us,¡± Cheng Jun replied.


    ¡°Fatty, what are you thinking about? The Level 5 Zombie King is guarding there. Can you still take it?¡± Wan Quan asked.


    ¡°I¡­¡± Big Fatty Zhang didn¡¯t know what to say, and couldn¡¯t refute. Although what everyone said was true, he couldn¡¯t bear to see such a precious treasure be destroyed.


    ¡°Yes, I agree with Ling Xuanwei¡¯s actions. Fatty, in the afternoon, other than the Zombie King, there will definitely be others who will have designs on the Prism Fruit. At the very least, their strength will not be lower than ours.¡± Lu Linyan explained to Fatty, ¡°Destroying it is the most direct and simplest method.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Whether it¡¯s the zombies or other evil forces, it will be a disaster if they get it. We can¡¯t let the base take this risk,¡± Ling Xuanwei added.


    ¡­


    Moreover, because of the location and various problems, Shu Guang and Ming Lei did not send anyone to the four bases. The small bases did not dare to face such a thing.


    Those who still dared to be in C City at this moment must be people from other organizations.


    They didn¡¯t have the same attitude towards the base, so destroying the Prism Fruit was the safest way. No one could think of getting it.


    Ling Xuanwei suddenly thought of White Clouds¡¯ shop. Would the shop owner come this time? Combining the memories of her previous life, the shop had never been against the base.


    If the boss finally obtained the Prism Fruit this time, it seemed to be a good outcome.


    However, Ling Xuanwei was only thinking about it. In her previous life, the first time she heard and discovered this shop was a long time ago.


    In her previous life, this operation had failed. The zombies had obtained the Prism Fruit and become the first Level 6 zombie. The humans who participated in this operation had suffered heavy casualties. No matter which faction it was, they did not gain any benefits.


    That zombie would become one of the masterminds behind the destruction of a large base in the future, and that large base would be their base¡ªDragon Might.


    Her family, friends, even Lu Linyan¡­


    Recalling the painful memories, tears welled up in the corners of Ling Xuanwei¡¯s eyes. When she realized it, she hurriedly wiped them away.


    Unconsciously, she clenched her fists tightly, and her eyes were filled with hatred.


    This was also why she had to come this time. She would definitely change this turn of events!


    The discussion continued.


    ¡°The four of us will be in charge of the frontal attack. Ling Xuanwei will covertly provide support,¡± Lu Linyan suggested assigning the mission.


    ¡°Wait, why?¡± Ling Xuanwei did not agree. Why was she still at the back?


    ¡°Old Lu¡¯s description might not be clear. He probably means that you should go and control the field. Mental abilities are not strong in close combat, but their impact is very terrifying,¡± Cheng Jun explained.


    After hearing Cheng Jun¡¯s words, Ling Xuanwei nodded in agreement. Logically speaking, she should be very clear about this kind of thing. She did not react. Perhaps she was a little traumatized by Lu Linyan¡¯s previous refusal to let her come.


    Lu Linyan looked at Cheng Jun gratefully.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Xiao Wei. Although you¡¯re at the back this time, our main damage output is still dependent on you.¡± Lu Linyan pointed at the weapons brought down from the car and smiled. ¡°Our main purpose is to distract the Zombie King. Other than controlling the field, destroying the Prism Fruit with a single shot is the most important.¡±


    Why did Ling Xuanwei use a weapon? It was very simple. Her psychic ability was that of a sniper.


    ¡°We don¡¯t have to wait until it¡¯s mature to attack. We can do it now,¡± Cheng Jun added.


    ¡°Mm, pay attention to your own safety,¡± Lu Linyan reminded.


    ¡°Alright.¡± Ling Xuanwei nodded.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s go now?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    ¡ª-


    ¡®How much further?¡¯


    Along the way, it was already two in the afternoon.


    On the way, Yun You flipped through the system interface in confusion to check the map of C City. She hoped that they were about to arrive.


    Even with the buff of a poker master, Yun You still felt a little tired from traveling and encountering some zombies from time to time.


    Yun You turned around and looked at Han Qichuan. She wanted to see how he was doing now. After all, he seemed to have killed more zombies than her.


    However, unlike her, Han Qichuan did not feel tired at all as he followed behind Yun You.


    ¡­


    How envious! Yun You wanted to cry but had no tears.


    Fortunately, the map on the interface showed that they were about to arrive. They would need at most 50 minutes.


    The time when the Prism Fruit ripened was three in the afternoon. At their speed, they could make it!


    However, she still had to walk.

 Chapter 34

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Just as Yun You¡¯s face was filled with sorrow, Han Qichuan suddenly said, ¡°There¡¯s a car ahead.¡±


    ¡°Where?¡± Yun You was revived.


    He looked up and saw a very old car parked not far ahead. He wondered if it can still be used.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go and take a look.¡± Yun You ran over with Big Orange in her arms.


    The car had indeed been here for a long time, and the dust was very thick.


    They were in luck. Most of the cars were still in good condition. The doors were open.


    ¡®I wonder if I can open it without a key?¡¯


    Yun You was still vexed when a key appeared in front of her.


    Han Qichuan¡¯s deep voice sounded. ¡°Here.¡±


    ¡°Where did you find it?¡± Yun You was surprised. Her luck was a little too good.


    Han Qichuan pointed to the side of the wheel, meaning that he had found it beside the wheel.


    Yun You put Big Orange aside, got into the car, and inserted the key so that the car could start. Then, before she could be happy, Yun You sadly realized that the car¡¯s oil had already reached empty.


    In this post-apocalyptic world, where could she find oil?


    ¡°Looks like we still have to walk over.¡± Yun You looked at Han Qichuan, who was standing at the side, and said with a disappointed expression.


    Just as the two of them were about to continue walking, Big Orange stood behind the car and called out to them.


    ¡°Meow!¡± [Xiao You, come here quickly.]


    Puzzled, Yun You stepped forward.


    The trunk of the car was broken, and the lid had flown somewhere. That was not the point. The point was what was inside.


    ¡°Oil, that¡¯s great.¡± Yun You was a little excited. She happily hugged Big Orange and spun around.


    Oh my god! There was always a way out.


    They quickly refueled and got into the car.


    ¡°Han Qichuan, help me carry Big Orange. I¡¯ll drive.¡± She had just gotten her driver¡¯s license not long ago and her hands were itching.


    Originally, Han Qichuan wanted to say that he was driving. Although he had lost his memory, driving was not a problem. However, before he could say anything, an orange ball of fur was handed to him.


    Helpless, he could only walk to the other side with Big Orange and get into the passenger seat.


    ¡°Meow!¡± [I don¡¯t want to sit with him!]


    [I¡¯ll add dried fish for you.]


    [¡­Forget it. I¡¯m magnanimous and won¡¯t argue with you humans.]


    ¡°Sit tight. Let¡¯s go,¡± Yun You said to Han Qichuan.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Han Qichuan nodded.


    ¡ª-


    Cang Qing, Dragon Might, and the others had already entered the city center.


    Other than Ling Xuanwei, who had climbed up the building alone with her weapon, the rest of the people were all lying in ambush.


    ¡°Xiao Wei, have you found the location?¡± Lu Linyan asked.


    At this moment, the five of them had already put on the mini earphones jointly developed by the four bases, so that they could contact each other in time to deal with various changes during the battle.


    ¡°No, let¡¯s wait a little longer.¡± Ling Xuanwei¡¯s voice came from the earpiece.


    A few minutes later.


    Ling Xuanwei was in a room on the fifth floor of a building in the city center. From Ling Xuanwei¡¯s position, she could see the location of the Prism Fruit. The green fruit looked more like an emerald.


    ¡°Alright.¡± Ling Xuanwei¡¯s cannon was already aimed at it.


    ¡°If the Zombie King stops us, the rest of you, prepare to stop him,¡± Lu Linyan reminded.


    ¡°No problem.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Ling Xuanwei, as the Captain, I order that regardless of whether it succeeds or not, immediately dodge after firing the cannon. Don¡¯t look at the results. If the first shot doesn¡¯t work, we¡¯ll change it a second time. Safety is the most important. Do you understand?¡± Lu Linyan emphasized.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s move out!¡±


    Ling Xuanwei found the best angle and locked onto the Zombie King with her psychic power. The rest of the people were even more tense. They pricked up their ears to listen to the sound of Ling Xuanwei¡¯s cannon. They were waiting for the sound of the cannon to ring and immediately rush forward to intercept the Zombie King.


    Ling Xuanwei closed one eye and took a deep breath.


    Three, two, one!


    He pulled the trigger.


    Boom¡ª


    Ling Xuanwei leaned to the side and rolled halfway, avoiding the spot where her vision had been exposed.


    Hearing the sound, the few of them quickly rushed out to stop the Zombie King.


    However, the reality was very different from what they had imagined. The Zombie King did not move at all. It did not even look at the cannon fire.


    ¡°Captain, look,¡± Big Fatty Zhang said.


    Lu Linyan looked up and saw a cluster of wide leaves firmly blocking in front of the Prism Fruit. The cannon fire only shattered the leaves.


    ¡°It¡¯s a mutant plant. The mutant plant is protecting the fruit. It seems that before the fruit matures, this plant is still lively.¡± Cheng Jun¡¯s voice sounded.


    Medicinal plants like the Prism Fruit circulated such news among humans. Although they were mutant plants, they could not move like ordinary mutant plants.


    From the looks of it, the news had probably been wrong. Only when the plant matured would it lose its mobility.


    Now, their cannon fire was not powerful enough to directly destroy the Prism Fruit under the protection of the mutant plants.


    ¡°Do we need to evacuate now?¡± Wan Quan¡¯s voice sounded.


    ¡°The situation has changed. Retreat. Ling Xuanwei, retreat quickly!¡±


    ¡°Roger that.¡±


    They didn¡¯t know that the Zombie King had also glanced in their direction.


    Hachi¡ª


    Stupid humans, another group of them had come. After it ate the Prism Fruit and crossed Level 5, it would deal with them all! It would capture them all in one fell swoop and not leave a single one alive!!


    This cannon fire also attracted the attention of the others.


    ¡°D*mn, who¡¯s so fierce? Just shoot without thinking.¡± Chen Fei leaned against the window and saw the cannon fire. He complained excitedly, ¡°Brother Han, do you think the fruit will explode directly?¡±


    Han Bin continued reading calmly. ¡°No.¡±


    ¡°Are you so sure?¡± Chen Fei was puzzled.


    In the next second.


    ¡°Alright.¡± She sounded disappointed.


    Han Bin smiled and did not say anything because he had almost missed watching from his Water Mirror.


    Compared to Han Bin¡¯s calmness, the reactions of the people from the other two sides were a little different.


    ¡°These people are really crazy! Destroy them just because they can¡¯t get them? They¡¯re even more ruthless than us, Black Wolf?¡± Yan Feng laughed.


    ¡°Master, aren¡¯t you worried?¡± Jiang Zhi asked.


    ¡°What¡¯s there to worry about? Isn¡¯t it better to destroy it? No one has it. It¡¯s a good outcome,¡± Yan Fenglang replied.


    On the other side, Mei picked up her wine glass and drank slowly.


    ¡°That¡¯s ruthless.¡±


    The shattered wine glasses and spilled red wine on the ground showed that Mei was definitely not as calm as she was just now.


    Seeing that the Prism Fruit was fine, some people in the dark heaved a sigh of relief.


    ¡ª-


    Yun You and the others, who were about to arrive, also heard the sound of cannon fire.


    ¡°Why are they fighting again? Isn¡¯t it not time yet?¡± Yun You complained in the car.


    Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something.


    ¡°Crap, I wonder if the Prism Fruit will be damaged. We have to get there quickly.¡±


    Yun You sped up.


    Han Qichuan was deep in thought.


    What was a Prism Fruit? Why was the boss so nervous about the Prism Fruit? What she was looking for this time was this Prism Fruit. Could it be very important?


    Because of his amnesia, Han Qichuan had forgotten about people. At the same time, he had forgotten his experience in the laboratory. This Prism Fruit was indeed an unfamiliar thing to him.


    In a moment.


    Yun You glanced at the system interface and said to Han Qichuan, ¡°Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll get out of the car and walk over in front.¡±


    There were not many zombies around, at least there were more lying than standing.


    It seemed that many people had come!


    ¡°Let¡¯s go and see what¡¯s going on inside.¡± Yun You carried Big Orange with one hand again and pulled Han Qichuan inside.


    A small number of zombies pounced on them, but Han Qichuan didn¡¯t care. Anyway, these low-level zombies were killed one by one.

 Chapter 35

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    After successfully retreating, Cang Qinglong and the others gathered in a small room.


    Big Fatty Zhang scratched his head helplessly. ¡°Is there any other way?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing we can do. Our weapons aren¡¯t powerful enough to break through the defense of the mutant plants,¡± Cheng Jun replied. If He Linbing was here, there would definitely be no problem with their weapons.


    However, He Linbing still did not know if she was awake. Even if she was awake, he would not let her follow him. It was dangerous for low-level ability users to follow, let alone an ordinary person like her.


    In the apocalypse, mutant plants that were not very aggressive usually had very high defense. It was normal for them to not be able to fire at zombies or other special ability users.


    The main mistake this time was the deviation of the information. Humans did not know that this kind of ability medicine plant was actually the same as other mutant plants before it matured.


    In the past, people usually encountered mature plants. Under normal circumstances, they would wait for the mutant plants to mature before plucking them. This was the first time someone who wanted to destroy them before they matured had appeared.


    The atmosphere suddenly became a little quiet and tense.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. We still have a chance to wait for it to mature. It¡¯s the same. Moreover, it¡¯s not like we didn¡¯t gain anything this time, right? At least we obtained new information about the mutant plant.¡± Ling Xuanwei saw that everyone was a little silent and couldn¡¯t help but comfort them.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s just that the Prism Fruit hasn¡¯t matured yet. Our weapons aren¡¯t very useful to it. It will still have the same effect after it matures.¡±


    Lu Linyan added.


    ¡°Now, let¡¯s find a new position and wait for it to mature before making a move.¡±


    ¡°Sure.¡± Cheng Jun agreed.


    It had already been a while. Even though the Zombie King was still very vigilant, it was not much more relaxed than before. After all, its main focus was still on the Prism Fruit.


    Otherwise, why would it still be guarding under the Prism Fruit when there was a commotion?


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s still the same as before, but we¡¯re on standby now. We¡¯ll start moving after the Prism Fruit ripens,¡± Lu Linyan said. Then, he turned to face Ling Xuanwei. ¡°Xiao Wei, I¡¯ll have to trouble you to make another trip.¡±


    ¡°No problem!¡±


    It was just another trip. If she could stop the zombies, it would be worth it even if she had to make another twenty trips.


    Everyone immediately got back to work. Since they did not know when the Prism Fruit would ripen, it was naturally better to prepare as soon as possible.


    ¡°Zhang Qianjun, we¡¯re ready,¡± Big Fatty Zhang said through the earpiece.


    ¡°Perfect. Ready.¡±


    ¡°Cheng Jun, ready.¡±


    ¡°Lu Linyan, ready.¡±


    Voices sounded one after another in the channel. Ling Xuanwei was still running between the stairs. She had just discovered a better position.


    A side window was also on the fifth floor. It was easy to attack and easy to retreat.


    ¡°Ling Xuanwei, ready.¡± Finally, Ling Xuanwei arrived at her position and made preparations. The muzzle of the cannon was once again aimed at the jade-green Prism Fruit.


    She activated her psychic power and locked onto it.


    Everything was ready. All that was left was for the fruit to ripen.


    When she locked onto the Prism Fruit, Ling Xuanwei suddenly realized that the top of the Prism Fruit was starting to turn a little red.


    At first, she thought that she had seen wrongly. She locked onto it again and confirmed that it had indeed begun to turn red. The redness of the Prism Fruit undoubtedly meant that it was maturing.


    ¡°Attention, the Prism Fruit has already begun to ripen.¡± Ling Xuanwei transmitted the news nervously.


    Four people¡¯s voices came from the earpiece. ¡°Roger!¡±


    ¡ª-


    Beep¡ª


    [System notification: Manager, please take note that the mission item you accepted, the Prism Fruit, has begun to ripen. The estimated ripening time is one minute. Please take note of the time.]


    Why did the last sentence sound like an exam? Wait, didn¡¯t it take some time for the fruit to ripen?


    Wasn¡¯t it three o¡¯clock previously? Isn¡¯t it only 2:20 now?!


    Why was it maturing in advance?


    The system misled me!


    ¡°We might have to hurry up.¡± Yun You turned around and said to Han Qichuan. An obvious anxiety appeared on her face.


    She pulled him and sped up. However, Han Qichuan stopped. Even Yun You stopped because she couldn¡¯t pull him.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Yun You asked anxiously. What was going on? Why did he drop the ball now?


    ¡°Is it very urgent?¡± Han Qichuan asked.


    She didn¡¯t understand why he asked this, but Yun You quickly nodded and continued to pull Han Qichuan forward.


    Big Brother! I¡¯m really in a hurry, so can you hurry up!!


    Han Qichuan looked at Yun You with a deep gaze. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    Yun You was confused.


    After that, Yun You cried out in surprise as her legs were forced off the ground. Her entire body was held in Han Qichuan¡¯s arms.


    Yun You¡¯s reaction was half a beat slower. She hugged Big Orange and lay in the arms of Han Qichuan with a dazed expression. Then, the wind hit her face. Only then did Yun You come back to her senses. The surrounding scenery was quickly retreating.


    Yun You immediately realized that Han Qichuan was simply running faster with her. Even if he was carrying someone, Han Qichuan was much faster than her.


    However, this was Yun You¡¯s first time being carried like princess. This was the first time she was carried by a princess of the opposite sex. Yun You felt a little embarrassed. She was still at a loss. She could only obediently hug Big Orange and not dare to move, afraid that she would fall down if she moved. She didn¡¯t know where her gaze stopped, so she could only look straight ahead.


    Yun You¡¯s body temperature was warm, and Han Qichuan looked quite strong, but for some reason, his body temperature was cold.


    Han Qichuan hugged Yun You. He felt like he was hugging a warm little ball of light. It was very warm.


    Because the two of them were relatively close, Han Qichuan could clearly smell the faint fragrance on Yun You¡¯s body. It was quiet and elegant, as if it was different from the apocalypse.


    He couldn¡¯t help but want to get closer. The two of them were clearly very close now, but the closer Han Qichuan got, the clearer he felt that Yun You was very far away. That kind of feeling was so far away that he couldn¡¯t even see her, let alone touch her. He subconsciously tightened his arms.


    When he realized what he had done, his ears were a little red, but he did not let go.


    Until Yun You cried out in pain.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± A low and deep voice sounded. Han Qichuan loosened his grip and felt that it was a little looser. He tightened it again. In the end, he felt that something was amiss and added, ¡°I was afraid that you would fall.¡±


    Yun You: ¡°¡­¡±


    Although she was also afraid of falling, she felt that there was no need to hug her so tightly and give her some space to breathe?!


    However, Yun You didn¡¯t think too much about it. After all, Han Qichuan¡¯s face was serious and didn¡¯t look like he was lying.


    Yun You roughly calculated that it would take about three minutes.


    Hopefully, she could still make it in time. If she missed out on Han Qichuan recovering his memory, she didn¡¯t know how long she would have to wait. There was still a series of functions in her shop waiting for her start mission to be activated.


    ¡ª-


    The Prism Fruit turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its plant body also withered rapidly. In fact, Yun You¡¯s system had not predicted the time wrongly before. It was just that because the Prism Fruit plant had been blasted, it was still affected.


    The plant was not enough to last until the normal ripening of the Prism Fruit, so the Prism Fruit chose to ripen in advance. The medicinal properties of the Prism Fruit that ripened in advance would more or less be a little worse than a completely normal ripening. Fortunately, the time in advance was not too long, and the impact was very small, almost negligible.


    Everyone noticed that the Prism Fruit had turned red. Everyone¡¯s attention was focused on the Prism Fruit.


    Ling Xuanwei stared at the Prism Fruit and counted in her heart.


    There was a ten-second countdown.


    Ten, nine, ¡­ three, two, one.

 Chapter 36

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    The plant completely withered, leaving only the red crystal fruit swaying in the wind.


    Boom¡ª


    The moment the Prism Fruit ripened, another cannon shot sounded. Ling Xuanwei instinctively sensed danger and pounced to the side.


    The Zombie King attacked almost at the same time. It suddenly stared at Ling Xuanwei¡¯s location. The floor where Ling Xuanwei was directly cracked. If she was a step slower, she would have fallen.


    That¡¯s right, this Zombie King was only an ordinary zombie, but it relied on its psychic powers to become a Level 5 Zombie King.


    Ling Xuanwei felt the strong mental fluctuation behind her and was a little shocked. As a psychic ability expert in her previous life, she knew it all too well.


    Psychic power was a control-type power. It could attack the mind and also control things with telekinesis.


    It turned out that this zombie was a zombie with psychic power. In her previous life, she had never seen this zombie attack. As a Zombie King, it only needed to command the wave of zombie army. It was no wonder that compared to the Zombie King of the same level in her previous life, its army was almost twice as large.


    ¡°Attention, everyone: Zombie King, it¡¯s a Level 5 Psychic Zombie.¡± Ling Xuanwei¡¯s voice sounded in the earpiece.


    The other four were shocked. What?


    The Zombie King stared at the Prism Fruit. Without any warning, the Prism Fruit accelerated and fell. It dodged the bombardment of the shells, but the plant was not spared. The entire withered plant fell with a bang.


    The Zombie King was about to jump up and catch the Prism Fruit when the surrounding earth walls rose and formed a cage to trap it.


    It didn¡¯t care at all. It took a step forward, and the Earth prison directly collapsed.


    A fireball attacked it. The Zombie King turned its head, and the fireball was slowed down in the air before gradually shrinking until it disappeared.


    ¡°Let me try.¡± Wan Quan¡¯s voice sounded.


    He rushed forward. The surface of his body turned into metal, and the surrounding metal objects flew towards the Zombie King.


    However, the result was the same. Everything was suspended in the air. Even Wan Quan himself was imprisoned and could not move.


    Boom¡ª


    Another cannonball.


    This kind of explosive weapon was powerful and fast. It would consume a lot of energy if he used his ability directly. The Zombie King could only choose to avoid it. For a moment, the use of his psychic ability was paused.


    The full restraint was released for a moment, and the Prism Fruit naturally fell. However, the Prism Fruit flew towards the Zombie King again.


    ¡°Captain, there¡¯s only one round of ammunition left.¡± Ling Xuanwei¡¯s voice sounded.


    It was not easy to carry such weapons and ammunition, so Ling Xuanwei only brought three.


    Big Fatty Zhang¡¯s voice was filled with frustration. ¡°We can¡¯t even get close to this psychic ability, and it¡¯s not even as strong as it. How are we supposed to fight it?¡±


    ¡°Close combat, I¡¯ll go,¡± Lu Linyan said. ¡°The others cover me and interfere with its ability.¡±


    Psychic abilities could not be used in close combat. They only had a chance in close combat.


    ¡°Roger that.¡±


    The four of them attacked from afar to attract the Zombie King¡¯s attention. Lu Linyan quickly approached under its unaware state.


    The Zombie King did not want to delay any longer. He was about to obtain the Prism Fruit.


    Another shot, and the distance was widened again.


    Roar¡ª


    The Zombie King roared angrily and let out a strange sound.


    ¡°It¡¯s calling for help. We have to speed up.¡±


    The Prism Fruit was about to land in its hand. Its claws were about to touch it.


    A long saber covered in high-temperature flames slashed past, and it had no choice but to retract its claws and dodge.


    How could Lu Linyan give it a chance? He changed the direction of his long saber and swung it at the Zombie King again.


    The Zombie King was furious and wanted to use its psychic power to attack directly, but its head hurt first.


    After succeeding in her attack, Ling Xuanwei hid behind the wall again. With her previous life¡¯s experience, her proficiency in mental strength would only be higher than the Zombie King.


    After its ability was interrupted, it could only dodge in a sorry state, but there was still a charred wound on its body.


    After retreating to the side, the Zombie King glared fiercely at Lu Linyan, who rushed forward again.


    Ling Xuanwei aimed her psychic power at the Zombie King again, but this time, she was the one who cried out in pain. After all, there was a level difference. A little blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. Before she could wipe it away, she shouted into her earpiece, ¡°Captain, be careful.¡±


    This time, the Zombie King dealt with Ling Xuanwei, who also had a psychic ability. Without Ling Xuanwei¡¯s interference, Lu Linyan was imprisoned as expected.


    Then, the Prism Fruit flew towards the Zombie King again.


    The Prism Fruit that was already in front of him was sent flying by the long saber.


    With Ling Xuanwei¡¯s help, Lu Linyan relied on his strong willpower to pick out the last strike.


    The Zombie King roared angrily and grabbed at Lu Linyan with great strength, as if it wanted to tear him apart.


    At the critical moment, Big Fatty Zhang¡¯s Earth Shield blocked the claw, and although he wasn¡¯t injured, he was sent flying.


    The Zombie King did not care about them. It wanted to eat the fruit as soon as possible.


    ¡°Captain!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m fine. Cough, cough.¡± Lu Linyan slowly stood up and coughed a few times. Although he was not scratched, his internal injuries were not light.


    The five of them looked at the Zombie King who was about to obtain the Prism Fruit at the same time.


    Ling Xuanwei clenched her fists.


    Was it still not enough? Why hadn¡¯t the people from the other factions taken action yet?


    The sharp five-pointed dart swept past, and the Zombie King hurriedly dodged. Then, a figure quickly passed by in the air, stirring up a sandstorm, and the Prism Fruit was quickly snatched.


    The Zombie King was about to roar until it lost its voice. It used its psychic power again, but its head hurt again. Damn humans. If I had known earlier, I would have dealt with you sooner.


    Ling Xuanwei endured the pain and attacked again. Even if the Prism Fruit was taken by other forces, it could not be taken by the Zombie King.


    The figure was Yan Fenglang. With his Wind-type ability, he snatched the Prism Fruit that was still in the air at an extremely fast speed.


    ¡°It seems that the Prism Fruit will still fall into my hands in the end.¡± Yan Fenglang turned around and smiled evilly.


    However, in less than a second, he was hit in the head. The earth wall rose and sealed his escape route. He could not dodge at all.


    Yan Fenglang was sent flying by a club.


    F*ck, why was this zombie here?


    After getting up again, he quickly hid in the dark and covered his back with both hands. If he had not used his Wind-element ability to deflect the force in time, he might not have been able to get up.


    This zombie was the Level 4 Earth-type zombie from before. With its speed, it should not be able to arrive now. However, due to the emergency summon of the Zombie King, his speed was forcefully increased at the cost of his power.


    The Prism Fruit fell to the ground again, and a corner of the red crystal-like fruit was knocked off.


    After dealing with Yan Fenglang, the Strength-type zombie walked to the Zombie King and stood respectfully in front of it to block the humans.


    The Prism Fruit floated in the air again and flew towards the Zombie King. Just as it was about to fly past the Strength-type zombie,


    ¡°Beep beep.¡±


    A strange sound rang out.


    ¡°Haha, boom.¡± A charming voice sounded.


    Boom¡ª


    The Zombie King couldn¡¯t dodge in time. Without the Zombie King¡¯s order, the Strength-type zombie didn¡¯t dodge at all.


    A four-story house behind the Zombie King collapsed and buried the two zombies.


    The Prism Fruit landed in front of a pile of ruins.

 Chapter 37

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    C City.


    The closer they got to the city center, the more zombies there would be. However, in the center, there was an empty area. Even if some zombies accidentally stepped in, they would quickly evacuate.


    Even now, with many humans in the city center, there were only two zombies there. One was a Zombie King, and the other was a Strength-type zombie summoned by the Zombie King.


    Because C City was the territory of the Zombie King, the Strength-type zombies could appear here because of the Zombie King¡¯s summon.


    ¡°There¡¯s no way out here.¡± Han Qichuan ran to the place where the central entrance should be, but he had no choice but to stop.


    No way? That shouldn¡¯t be the case. The interface map showed that this place was unobstructed and feasible?


    Yun You struggled down and turned around to see a pile of ruins in front of her. It was like a collapsed house had blocked this place.


    Recalling the boom and explosion he had heard on the way here, he wondered how intense the battle inside was.


    Yun You hugged Big Orange with one hand and checked the system interface again. Fortunately, the location of the Prism Fruit was still in this area, which meant that it had not been taken away.


    Yun You heaved a sigh of relief and quickly planned a new route. Although it was a little roundabout, but she should be in time.


    ¡°Let¡¯s take another path,¡± Yun You said to Han Qichuan.


    Han Qichuan frowned. If they changed their route, would it be too late for Yun You to get what she wanted?


    He thought for a moment and said, ¡°I should be able to bring you over.¡±


    Although it was still a little difficult to climb up the ruins with a person, there was a high chance that there would be no problem.


    Unexpectedly, Yun You shook her head this time. ¡°There¡¯s no need to take this risk.¡±


    ¡°Meow!¡± I agree. Big Orange also meowed to join in the fun.


    Who knew if this ruin would collapse or explode a second time? The gains would not make up for the losses. Moreover, the people in the center would definitely fight. It was not safe to go over this ruin.


    ¡°What about what you want?¡±


    Han Qichuan asked in a low voice.


    ¡°Well, it¡¯s not too late.¡±


    Yun You replied.


    If a fight broke out inside, it would definitely not stop for a while. The Prism Fruit should be relatively safe for the time being.


    Moreover, even if the Prism Fruit was taken away, they would be able to catch up. The system mission she had accepted previously had a tracking function on the Prism Fruit, so she did not have to worry about where the Prism Fruit would go later.


    The only thing she had to worry about was that the Prism Fruit would be eaten directly in the city center. But judging from the ruins, it shouldn¡¯t be possible!


    There was another point. Yun You felt that other than the Prism Fruit, there must be another way for Han Qichuan to recover his memories.


    After weighing the pros and cons, she still felt that safety was the most important.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Han Qichuan nodded. Since Yun You insisted, he had nothing to say.


    Han Qichuan went forward and carried Yun You again. He quickly changed directions and ran.


    Yun You, who was being carried like a princess again, showed that there was no longer any fluctuation in her heart. Anyway, they wanted to find the Prism Fruit quickly.


    This was a legitimate reason! She was definitely not being lazy!


    Although she said that she did not care, she really wanted to get the Prism Fruit. If there was a shortcut at a small price, why not take it?


    ¡ª-


    C City center, inside.


    Mei smiled and walked out from the corner. The Zombie King¡¯s attention was all focused on the Prism Fruit and guarding against Ling Xuanwei opposite it. It did not notice that the Mei had already installed a few micro bombs behind it through its psychic ability.


    That was how the previous scene happened.


    Mei chuckled, her bell-like voice crisp and enchanting. ¡°Thank you, everyone.¡±


    She raised her arm and the Prism Fruit flew towards Mei.


    Mei was also a psychic ability type. Ling Xuanwei wanted to stop it, but her previous injuries and Mei¡¯s level were higher than hers. Unable to stop it, Ling Xuanwei could only endure the pain and watch as Mei was about to obtain the Prism Fruit.


    She closed her eyes in despair and smiled self-deprecatingly. Although falling into the hands of Mei was not good for the base, but at least the Zombie King was not holding it, right?


    In a room in C City.


    ¡°Brother Han, why aren¡¯t we leaving after this? And why aren¡¯t we robbing?¡± Chen Fei muttered in confusion.


    ¡°The Prism Fruit won¡¯t end up in the hands of Mei. It¡¯s not over yet.¡± Han Bin sat on the chair and shook his head with a smile. If it was Mei, he wouldn¡¯t have missed her face.


    ¡°Why? You still haven¡¯t answered my second question, Brother Han?¡±


    ¡°Why don¡¯t we snatch it?¡± Han Bin repeated Chen Fei¡¯s question. Then, he stood up and walked to the window to look at the situation below. ¡°Because we can¡¯t get it either!¡±


    He had only taken a look at that mysterious orange figure before his Water Mirror was broken and he was even injured. What terrifying strength.


    At this moment, the orange furball that Han Bin was thinking about was comfortably nestling in Yun You¡¯s arms and yawning.


    Han Qichuan, who was moving rapidly on the road with Yun You in his arms, was still about a minute away from his destination.


    As soon as the Prism Fruit flew up from the ground, a furious roar sounded, and a portion of the debris on the pile of ruins rose into the air.


    What was this? Everyone¡¯s faces were filled with disbelief.


    ¡°How is that possible?¡± Mei could not care less about her bearing. She wanted to quickly take the Prism Fruit and escape.


    However, in the next second, she was imprisoned. Even with the strength of a Level 4 Succubus, she could not break free.


    Mei¡¯s eyes were filled with shock. How could the Zombie King still have such a powerful ability? How could it be even stronger than before?!


    The others were also puzzled.


    One part of the ruins finally dissipated completely, and the Zombie King stood in it. Lying on the ground was the Strength-type zombie from before, but this zombie¡¯s head had already exploded.


    It was obvious that the Zombie King had absorbed the nuclei of a zombie at the peak of Level 4.


    F*ck, I¡¯ve really miscalculated. Mei cursed in her heart. She couldn¡¯t move now, and she couldn¡¯t even escape.


    The fruit flew towards the Zombie King again.


    ¡°No, we can¡¯t let it get the Prism Fruit,¡± Ling Xuanwei roared. She was a little agitated now. She actually used her supernatural power to destroy the Prism Fruit.


    The Prism Fruit contained energy. If she used her ability directly on it, she might not be able to destroy it, but she would definitely suffer a backlash.


    Even if I have to risk my life today, I can¡¯t let you get it.


    This desperate ruthlessness actually made the Zombie King wary. It stopped moving towards the Prism Fruit and turned to resist Ling Xuanwei¡¯s attack. Because it wanted to suppress the Level 4 Succubus and control the debris, it was in a stalemate with Ling Xuanwei for a while.


    ¡°Do it.¡±


    The remaining four also set off in unison.


    However, with another long roar, another Level 4 zombie was summoned by the Zombie King from behind them. The earth wall rose and blocked everyone¡¯s attack path.


    This was another Earth-type ability zombie, although its strength was far inferior to the previous one.


    Big Fatty Zhang used all of his strength to destroy the earthen wall.


    ¡°No, boss¡¯s level is higher than mine. It can¡¯t be destroyed.¡± Big Fatty Zhang was shaking so hard that his body was shaking.


    What should he do?!


    A pillar of water descended from the sky, and as Big Fatty Zhang controlled his Earth-type Arcana, the earth wall collapsed.


    ¡°Captain, it¡¯s done.¡±


    Lu Linyan looked up at the source of the water pillar and met Han Bin¡¯s eyes by the window.


    The leader of Heaven¡¯s Eye who knew everything?

 Chapter 38

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    After a short pause, Lu Linyan nodded at him and rushed forward with the other four.


    Han Bin smiled in response.


    Chen Fei, who was at the side, was puzzled. ¡°Brother Han, aren¡¯t we not planning to interfere?¡±


    Han Bin said, ¡°Did I interfere? I didn¡¯t interfere. It was just a small matter. It was unintentional.¡±


    Chen Fei: ¡°?¡±


    ¡ª-


    On the way.


    Han Qichuan suddenly changed directions at high speed, dodging the huge figure rushing over from behind. However, the figure did not attack them. Instead, it ran straight ahead with all its might.


    ¡°This is?¡± Yun You touched her chin. She was a Thinker. Then, she said in surprise, ¡°Mutated beasts?¡±


    [Meow! This kind of mutated beast shouldn¡¯t appear in the city. Why is it in C City?] Big Orange said.


    ¡°The Prism Fruit!¡± Yun You suddenly thought of a possibility. ¡°It¡¯s very likely that it¡¯s also targeting the Prism Fruit.¡±


    Certain animals had special senses towards the world. The appearance of this mutated beast in C City was very likely because it knew the location of the Prism Fruit in advance and specially rushed over to snatch it.


    Han Qichuan was stunned for a moment and looked at the back.


    He looked down at Yun You and said calmly, ¡°Hold on to me.¡±


    Then, he increased his speed again.


    ¡ª-


    The Zombie King was suppressing the two psychic ability users at the same time. Now that someone was rushing forward, the new zombies were too far away to stop them.


    Hence, it chose to let go of the suppression of the Succubus and turned to Ling Xuanwei.


    How could a peak Level 3 be a match for a Level 5? In a second, Ling Xuanwei was defeated.


    Was she going to lose? If the manager came, the outcome might be different.


    In a hidden building, she spat out a mouthful of blood. Clearly, she had suffered serious internal injuries. Her aura was weak, but she stood up and looked over.


    On the other side, Mei, who had regained her freedom, put her right hand in her bag and used her telekinesis to quickly retreat, disappearing from everyone¡¯s sight.


    Hachi, an annoying fly.


    The Zombie King did not want to waste any more time.


    Without the interference of the psychic ability users, it was too easy for it to deal with them. It slightly restricted their movements, and then they were all knocked to the ground by the rocks from the ruins.


    ¡°Cough, cough.¡± Lu Linyan propped himself up with difficulty and looked at the Zombie King. Was this the difference in level?


    It seemed like they were going to fail the mission in the end!


    Upstairs, Han Bin looked calm on the surface, but he was actually staring at the Prism Fruit nervously. If one looked carefully, they would notice that the book he was holding was clenched tightly, and it was even trembling slightly.


    Why wasn¡¯t he here yet? Could it be that his prediction was wrong?


    ¡°Brother Han, do you want me to go too?¡± Chen Fei asked. His nervousness was written all over his face.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need. He¡¯ll come.¡± Are you joking with Chen Fei? If he went alone, he wouldn¡¯t be able to hold on for a second, let alone Chen Fei.


    After Han Bin answered him, he closed his eyes slightly and forced himself not to look anymore.


    Seeing how confident Han Bin was and how everything was under control, Chen Fei could not help but sigh. Brother Han was indeed the boss. Just this calmness and confidence in his ability alone left him and his brothers in the dust.


    When the fruit was only half a meter away from the Zombie King,


    Roar¡ª


    A beast roar shook the world.


    A beast that looked like a lion but was twice as big as a lion ran over and quickly approached the Zombie King.


    The fiery mane carried a faint flame that was especially dazzling in the gloomy weather. Its claws and teeth were sharp, and its hair was cut off by the wind. There were two strange horns on its head, and its ankles and back were covered in hard scales. A pair of bell-sized eyes stared at the Prism Fruit.


    The Level 4 Earth-type zombie wanted to stop it, but to its surprise, it was sent flying with a kick.


    Terrifying strength!


    The Zombie King was very angry now. When the Prism Fruit was about to reach its hand, another one came out.


    He activated all his mental strength, hoping to stop the invaders.


    The mutated beast was not to be outdone. Its powerful beast might directly resisted.


    The two auras collided. Both sides used their full strength. The surrounding aura was violent and domineering. No one could withstand it.


    Lu Linyan and the others had already evacuated the scene and met up with Ling Xuanwei. Ling Xuanwei held on until the last moment before they arrived and finally fainted.


    ¡°Xiao Wei, Xiao Wei, are you alright? Xiao Wei!¡±


    Lu Linyan hurriedly caught it and checked its breathing. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief. He looked at the battlefield again to check the situation.


    The two terrifying monsters were temporarily restrained by the other party. They could not move even half a step.


    When the two of them were fighting, the Prism Fruit fell to the side. However, no one dared to pick it up, and no one could pick it up.


    Everyone present could not even get close.


    What terrifying power? Was this a high-level pressure?


    At this moment, everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them.


    Lu Linyan and Cheng Jun¡¯s eyes lit up. They were still too weak and needed to become stronger!


    Beast King? The Beast King of the Great Wilderness actually came all the way here to snatch the Prism Fruit?


    Upstairs, they were also under relatively weak pressure, but Han Bin was still watching by the window under the pressure.


    ¡°Brother Han, why don¡¯t we retreat further?¡± Chen Fei was already gritting his teeth and could not take it anymore.


    Han Bin hesitated for a moment. ¡°Retreat first. I¡¯ll wait and see.¡±


    The Beast King and the Zombie King were present at the same time. His previous guess was very likely wrong. The mysterious person might not have obtained the Prism Fruit in the end. He wanted to know the final outcome.


    ¡°No, then I¡¯ll wait a little longer.¡± Chen Fei gritted his teeth and insisted.


    Han Bin glanced at him and did not say anything, but he still secretly decided to retreat in advance.


    ¡ª-


    ¡°We¡¯re finally here.¡± As soon as they arrived, Yun You immediately jumped out of Han Qichuan¡¯s arms.


    Without the warmth in his arms, Han Qichuan felt a little empty for some reason.


    Yun You raised her head and saw the battle situation in the city center. It was a ruin, chaotic, and dusty. A huge long-horned lion was looking at another zombie.


    [What are you doing?] Yun You asked Big Orange.


    [Meow, it¡¯s competing with pressure.]


    [Pressure?]


    [Meow, you¡¯re not affected. There¡¯s no need to know.] Big Orange yawned.


    Since it didn¡¯t affect her, Yun You lost interest in it. She found the Prism Fruit on the ground and prepared to go over.


    However, Han Qichuan stood in front of her with a frown and a serious expression.


    ¡°?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s dangerous. Don¡¯t go over. I can¡¯t go over.¡± He couldn¡¯t even get close to the pressure there. Even if Yun You could go over, he was worried that the two of them would be strong in close combat.


    Yun You smiled nonchalantly. ¡°Nothing will happen. I¡¯ll pick that up and we¡¯ll leave.¡±


    Yun You pointed at the Prism Fruit.


    Nothing will happen? Han Qichuan looked over again. The two of them were facing each other. The boss was just going to get a fruit, so he shouldn¡¯t be targeted.


    Although he thought so, Han Qichuan was still a little worried. ¡°Is it very important?¡±


    Was he implying that he had to go?


    Yun You nodded and replied, ¡°Very important.¡±


    Han Qichuan compromised. ¡°Hurry up.¡± It was very dangerous there.


    Yun You ran over with Big Orange in her arms, but she was blocked by the Strength-type zombie.


    The helplessness in his heart took a little more time to settle down.


    Just as he was about to attack, a gray figure went up to him.


    Then, Han Qichuan¡¯s voice sounded. ¡°I¡¯ll block it.¡±


    Considering her previous experience, Yun You was a little worried. Big Orange jumped onto her shoulder and said nonchalantly, ¡°Let¡¯s go. He can beat it.¡±


    Last time, he was at a disadvantage because he was worried about Yun You. Moreover, this zombie was not strong.


    Hearing Big Orange¡¯s words, Yun You felt relieved and rushed forward.


    ¡ª-


    ¡°We should leave,¡± Lu Linyan said to everyone.


    Cheng Jun nodded. Two peak Level 5 existences were no longer something they could interfere with.


    Just as he was about to leave, he heard Big Fatty Zhang cry out in alarm.


    ¡°Captain, look!¡±


    Everyone looked over in confusion, then their eyes widened.


    A person in front of them ignored the pressure and picked up the Prism Fruit with a slender hand under the noses of the two.

 Chapter 39

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Because of the direction, Lu Linyan and the others only saw his back. However, Lu Linyan and Cheng Jun felt that this back looked more and more familiar.


    Moreover, the big orange cat on her shoulder was very familiar. Speaking of which, who would bring a useless cat to such a dangerous place!


    It was really strange that even this cat could not be affected by the pressure. That was a double pressure from a peak Level 5. Could it be that they were too weak and could not even compare to a cat?


    When the owner picked up the Prism Fruit, she turned around and revealed her beautiful face.


    Wan Quan and Big Fatty Zhang were both surprised to see that she was only about twenty years old. Furthermore, she didn¡¯t look like someone who was good at fighting!


    Cheng Jun and Lu Linyan exclaimed at the same time, ¡°Boss!¡± There was a hint of joy in their voices.


    With the precedent of being able to directly seal Cheng Jun¡¯s ability, it was not surprising that the boss could withstand the pressure of two peak Level 5s.


    Previously, they had guessed the boss¡¯s strength. Now, it seemed that the boss¡¯s strength was stronger than they had imagined.


    When Big Fatty Zhang heard the Captain¡¯s words, he had a flash of inspiration. ¡°Captain, she¡¯s the owner of the shop where you bought the purified food.¡±


    Lu Linyan nodded, and a hint of relief appeared on his tired face. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s her. That orange cat is also the one in the shop.¡±


    The orange cat was the one in the shop, so the few of them might not be as good as a cat.


    However, it should not be because they were too weak.


    The boss of White Clouds shop participated in this matter and obtained the Prism Fruit. Although the Prism Fruit was not destroyed, it did not fall into the hands of the Zombie King. No matter what, they had completed the mission.


    The three of them looked excited, especially Cheng Jun. Ever since He Linbing was out of danger, White Clouds shop had become more reliable in his heart.


    Only Wan Quan looked puzzled. What were they talking about? Boss? What boss?


    Big Fatty Zhang put his arm around Wan Quan¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Hey, hey, hey, buddy. Let me tell you something. Here¡¯s the thing¡­¡±


    ¡°Shouldn¡¯t we retreat now?¡± Cheng Jun asked.


    ¡°Mm, let¡¯s retreat!¡± Lu Linyan replied.


    They were all more or less injured now. Not only would they not be of any help if they stayed here, but they would also put themselves in danger.


    ¡ª-


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll retreat further away.¡± Han Bin watched for a while longer. Considering that his subordinates were about to collapse, he finally decided to leave the battlefield.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Chen Fei wiped the sweat off his forehead and heaved a sigh of relief. If he stayed any longer, he might collapse. However, even if he collapsed, he could not let Brother Han, who had yet to recover from his internal injuries, be here alone.


    Han Bin had used the Water Mirror twice in a row. Chen Fei felt that Brother Han might not be able to withstand two punches from him. Therefore, how could he dare to leave Brother Han alone here now?


    Fortunately, they were preparing to retreat.


    Han Bin turned his head and was about to take one last look, but it was this last look that he saw the scene he had been waiting for.


    It¡¯s finally here!


    ¡°You go first.¡±


    ¡°?!¡± Why did he change his mind again? Chen Fei was confused. He followed Han Bin¡¯s gaze and looked down.


    Alright! He could still resist!!


    ¡°No, Brother Han, I have to follow you. Don¡¯t worry about me. I can still withstand it!¡±


    Han Bin looked at him silently. After confirming that there was really nothing wrong, he ignored him.


    ¡ª-


    Yun You saw that the two monsters were having a competition that she could not feel. She did not want to disturb them, so she planned to take the Prism Fruit and leave.


    She picked up the Prism Fruit and put it in the clothes bag. She used the clothes to cover it and put it in the system space. What a joke. She had to keep this thing after obtaining it. What if it fell?


    After doing everything, she planned to turn around and leave without any lingering thoughts.


    She did not even give the two of them a look.


    The Prism Fruit had been snatched away right under its nose. The Zombie King was about to go crazy from anger. At this moment, the Beast King had also noticed that the Prism Fruit had been taken away by a human. She was brazen and did not take a king-level beast like it seriously at all.


    The Zombie King and the Beast King reached an agreement. They looked at each other and retracted their pressure almost at the same time.


    The two pressures had already disappeared, and the surrounding people immediately felt their bodies relax.


    After experiencing this, anyone who had withstood the pressure would definitely have stronger mental resistance, as if they had passed a trial.


    Upstairs, Chen Fei was panting heavily. The pressure had finally disappeared. Chen Fei looked down. What had that mysterious person done?


    On the battlefield below, the two Kings decided to deal with the bold human who had snatched the Prism Fruit first.


    The Beast King roared angrily and pounced at Yun You. The Zombie King¡¯s anger was even full. This time, it even used its greatest ability to imprison her. It wanted to personally tear this ¡°weak¡± woman into pieces.


    Yun You dodged to the side, her figure light.


    The ability of a poker master was really useful. She felt much lighter and her body was more agile. She could climb walls and trees easily.


    What Yun You didn¡¯t know was that just by looking at the skills of the poker master, it was really as Han Qichuan had guessed. In the apocalypse, she could only protect herself.


    Yun You easily dodged the first wave of attacks and pinned down with both the beast might and spiritual power.


    The Beast King became vigilant and began to look at the enemy in front of it. This was the first time it had encountered a human who could completely resist its pressure. It was not simple!


    The Beast King stared at Yun You, looking for the right time.


    After the Zombie King missed an attack, it kept attacking with its psychic ability, but its previous methods were useless.


    It was shocked to discover that when its spiritual power approached Yun You, it automatically dissipated.


    Howl!


    It let out a sharp scream. It could not accept that there was an existence that could restrain it. It instinctively chased it away and could not let it leave alive.


    The rubble in the ruins rose into the air one by one, pointing its sharp tip at Yun You.


    The Beast King¡¯s body also ignited with flames. It looked ferocious as it roared at Yun You with its huge mouth.


    Sharp rocks flew towards Yun You. The Beast King followed closely behind. With flames in its mouth, it charged straight at her.


    Yun You didn¡¯t want to tangle with these two King-tier opponents. She just wanted to get the Prism Fruit and return immediately. However, the two people in front of her clearly didn¡¯t think so.


    If Yun You had just arrived, she might have been frightened by the two of them. To be honest, in her heart, they were not as impactful as the group of zombies and mutants the night before.


    She didn¡¯t even think that the zombies that Han Qichuan killed on the way here today were scary.


    In addition, she had just learned from Big Orange that her poker cards were a killing machine for zombies. She was worried that her hands were itchy and wanted to test how she would deal with higher-level zombies. She felt even more stable and even a little excited.


    A card fan appeared in her hand. Yun You swung it forward, and each poker card knocked the stone away.


    After getting used to being a poker master, Yun Youfei¡¯s proficiency and accuracy had increased greatly. Even she was a little surprised by her accuracy. She had thought that she would miss one or two.


    ¡°Big Orange, I¡¯ll leave that big guy to you.¡±

 Chapter 40

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ¡°Meow, ha-, alright.¡± Big Orange yawned and jumped down from Yun You.


    After landing, he was no longer as lazy as before. His eyes were bright and lively as he elegantly walked towards the charging Beast King.


    The corners of Yun You¡¯s mouth twitched slightly. There was no need to be so serious.


    Kitten, get lost!


    The Beast King saw an orange cat blocking in front of it and roared fiercely at it.


    Big Orange ignored it and maintained its original speed.


    The Beast King couldn¡¯t take it anymore. It spat out a mouthful of flames, and a sea of fire with a Level 5 Fire-element ability swallowed Big Orange.


    It wanted to let this arrogant fellow know that the outcome of scamming would be so devastating that not even ashes would be left behind.


    ¡ª-


    ¡°Brother Han, this kitten, isn¡¯t that person sending it to its death?¡±


    When Chen Fei saw Yun You letting the orange cat deal with the lion, he was so shocked that his jaw could not close. Was this a solution that a normal person could think of?


    Han Bin did not answer. This cat was also a cat that had withstood two pressures just now. It was not an ordinary cat.


    He narrowed his eyes and looked down. This cat looked so familiar. Where had he seen it before?


    Where is it?


    Han Bin¡¯s slender hand touched his chin, thinking hard. Suddenly, his expression was strange, and then he laughed.


    So it was it. The cat¡¯s orange butt that he had only seen once had ruined his Water Mirror.


    It seemed that this Beast King was on its own. There might be a huge battle.


    Chen Fei: ¡°?¡±


    Which step did he not follow? Why did he feel that Brother Han was in a different world from him??


    ¡ª-


    On Cang Qing and Dragon Might¡¯s side, Ling Xuanwei had just woken up, but her injuries were more serious. Even if she did not know who had obtained the Prism Fruit in the end, she would not stubbornly insist on staying.


    She had tried her best now. If it was still the same as in her previous life, then it might be fate. However, she still had confidence in the store manager.


    The five of them were about to leave.


    At this moment, Wan Quan said to Cheng Jun, ¡°Captain, over there.¡±


    Looking over, it happened to be when Big Orange was engulfed by the flames. When he suddenly saw such a scene, he could not help but worry.


    The few of them could not help but worry. The boss should be able to win!


    For a moment, the five of them were silently watching this battle.


    ¡ª-


    In the corner, Mei was watching the situation in the city center. From her position, she could clearly see the entire process of Yun You and Han Qichuan¡¯s arrival.


    ¡°It seems that the person who saved Han Qichuan is her.¡± The corners of Mei¡¯s mouth curled up. She supported herself with one hand on a platform and was lazing around leisurely. She did not look like she had just escaped.


    Just being able to withstand the pressure of two Kings was enough to prove that she was not easy to deal with.


    Mei seemed to have thought of something. A series of bell-like laughter echoed in the empty space, appearing extremely ethereal.


    ¡ª-


    ¡°Master Feng, are you alright, Master Feng?¡±


    Yan Fenglang was injured and returned to the place where they had been camping. As soon as he returned, Jiang Zhi came over.


    ¡°What do you think?¡± Jiang Xiu slapped his unlucky brother away. Can¡¯t you see that my face is green?


    ¡°You¡­¡± Seeing that Jiang Zhi was about to fight Jiang Xiu again,


    ¡°Ahem.¡± Qin Ren coughed to stop him.


    Only then did the two of them realize that Master was still in front of them.


    ¡°Let¡¯s retreat,¡± Yan Feng said loudly.


    The appearance of two Kings was something he had not expected.


    Moreover, he was really unlucky. A few of his ribs might have been broken by that strike. Fortunately, he was able to dissipate the force quickly.


    It was true that he had dodged the first time but not the second time. What had to come had still come.


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    Just as he was about to leave, Yan Fenglang looked over again. His figure was very familiar.


    F*ck, weren¡¯t these the two unlucky fellows who had been tricked by him previously?


    ¡ª-


    Big Orange was engulfed by the flames, but Yun You was not worried at all.


    If this fire could hurt a single strand of Big Orange¡¯s cat fur, she would lose!


    With Big Orange¡¯s playful personality, Yun You was speechless.


    When the flames dissipated, the orange cat still stood rooted to the ground, completely fine. Its two cat eyes looked down on the Beast King. Not only that, but it also sighed, closed its eyes, and shook its head.


    Tsk, tsk, tsk!! That¡¯s it? Beast King? No way!


    Although the Beast King was a little surprised, it was still angry.


    The flames on its body were twenty feet tall.


    ¡®Since you¡¯re in such a hurry to be on your way, I¡¯ll send you on your way.¡¯


    The higher-temperature flames shot towards Big Orange again.


    Yun You didn¡¯t look at Big Orange anymore. Big Orange would act on its own when it was done playing. For now, she had to resolve the trouble in front of her.


    Yun You helplessly raised her card fan. Originally, she didn¡¯t want to play. She just wanted to leave as soon as possible because she had promised Han Qichuan that she would be there soon.


    Now, it seemed that if she did not deal with this zombie, it would not let her leave easily.


    She threw the card fan into the air. Poker cards flew everywhere. Every poker card spun and floated around Yun You, forming a contrast with the rocks around the Zombie King.


    Under Yun You¡¯s control, every poker card was neatly arranged and pointed at the Zombie King.


    The Zombie King, who was facing the poker cards, felt fear. It was instinctive, primal fear.


    As Yun You waved her arm, the poker cards flew towards the Zombie King like darts.


    The Zombie King, who originally thought that it could deal with Yun You, was now panicking. It did not expect these poker cards to give it such a strong sense of threat.


    When the poker cards came, the Zombie King controlled the debris to block, but one or two were still missing. It activated its power to form a telekinesis wall.


    Just as it thought it was enough to block it, the letters on the poker card at the front lit up. It could vaguely be seen that it was an A. When this poker card touched the telekinesis wall, the telekinesis wall disappeared without any resistance.


    The Zombie King dodged in fear, but it was still hit by the poker cards.


    Miserable screams resounded through the clouds. For the first time, the zombie felt pain from the depths of its soul.


    The Zombie King was nailed to the broken wall by the poker cards. It struggled violently, but it could not move.


    Instant kill!


    His strength was terrifying!!


    [I¡¯m actually so strong!]


    Yun You herself found it hard to believe. She had originally thought that this Level 5 Zombie King, which was about to reach Level 6, should be much stronger than the previous Level 4 Zombie King! However, these two actually gave her the same feeling!!


    [This Zombie King is only so-so!]


    Yun You was now bursting with confidence. She felt that even if another ten came, it would be as easy as pie.


    [Meow! Xiao You, I think it¡¯s necessary to remind you that you¡¯re using the experience time now and haven¡¯t officially obtained this ability.]


    Yun You: ¡°¡­¡±


    She looked at Big Orange and saw that the Beast King was about to vomit blood from anger. Big Orange was bathing in the flames and did not forget to praise, ¡°It¡¯s so warm.¡±


    Yun You: ¡°¡­¡±


    The Beast King: ¡°!!!¡±


    [Big Orange, stop playing. We should go.] Yun You couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and reminded him.


    [Meow! Coming right up.]
