The End of the Extreme Dao: I Planted a Sacred Tree and Gained Immortality

Chapter 108: Stay or Go (3K Subscription Request)
Huo Ying spoke up.

It immediately became the focus.

Everyone subconsciously slowed down their breathing and looked at Huo Ying.

Zhang Zhanhong was stunned for a moment, and while supporting his father, he replied: "Not yet... If we start work as usual today, we can fix the hammer..."

"Then why don't you go back to work? What are you waiting for?"

Huo Ying stared at Zhou Wenping and Meng Zhijun and slowly walked to the armored vehicle.

Zhou Wenping and Meng Zhijun were stunned for a moment.

This level 3 infected person actually chased us away?

Zhou Wenping smiled: "Brother, we have already taken a step back. Don't go too far. We will occupy this place for a day and repair it. When tomorrow morning comes, we will set off for XN City and return this place to you."

Huo Ying didn't say anything, just stood there quietly.

Zhang Zhanhong looked at Huo Ying's back, and suddenly followed Zhang Famo and said, "Dad, let's go back and start working."

Zhang Famao took a deep breath. He had been very honest and always sought stability all his life.

Even if you suffer a loss, you should always think about taking a step back and seeing the future. But if you keep retreating, it will be the end.

Damn! What a poor refund!
If you keep retreating, the road will be taken by others, and where will the honest people have a way to go?

"Fuck, fuck him!" Zhang Famao rushed into the crowd without hesitation: "Either kill me today, or get out of here!"

As he spoke, Zhang Famao picked up a box of charcoal that he had brought from the armored vehicle, and then rushed into the workshop with red eyes.

Zhang Zhanhong also followed like a calf, picked up another box, and then started a fire with his father, and started smashing iron in the workshop.

The woman who had been shouting just now shrank her neck again and retreated behind the crowd. She dared not look at Huo Ying, nor did she dare to look at Meng Zhijun and the others, or even at Zhang Famao and his son. Every sound of the hammer hitting the iron sheet in the workshop made her terrified.

"Brother Zhou, Brother Meng, how about, let's just forget it..." The woman's voice was very soft. She was very scared. If the level three infected people started fighting, no matter who won or lost, she might die. Even while the level three infected people were fighting, Zhang and his son might kill her.

Zhou Wenping's face turned red and white, and finally, he laughed: "Forget it, a powerful dragon will not suppress a local snake. How can we compete with you for territory? Since you have the final say here, we will give in."

"Brother, now is the end of the world. It's hard for humans to survive. I had a sense of justice before, but I lived too hard and forgot it over time." Zhou Wenping quickly adjusted his mentality, waved his hand, and called everyone, "Everyone get in the car, we're leaving for XN City."

The woman hiding in the crowd breathed a sigh of relief and was the first to get into the smelly car.

An Zaixin and An Yu looked at each other and suddenly said, "Captain Zhou, Captain Meng, we two won't leave. It's been hard to get here. We may not be able to walk anymore."

An Zaixin bowed to Zhou Wenping and Meng Zhijun and said, "The fewer people there are, the less likely it is to attract strange attention. Without us, you will have more supplies and will be safer on the road."

Zhou Wenping didn't say anything. He looked at An Zaixin seriously, and then after everyone else got in the car, he slammed the hatch and left the construction site with Meng Zhijun.

It was not until the armored vehicle disappeared that An Zaixin turned his head to look at Huo Ying and said tentatively: "An Zaixin, my daughter An Yu has just arrived. If possible, we would like to exchange some information for some charcoal with you."

Huo Ying looked at An Zaixin.

An Zaixin smiled kindly: "That father and son are not even infected. It is obvious that they are working for you in exchange for charcoal. You have also seen the attitude of the third-level infected towards ordinary people. I have wanted to leave for a long time, but I have never found a chance. Rather than being used as a bargaining chip by them, I think it is better to work with a third-level infected like you."

An Zaixin was different from the other people in the carriage. Those people thought Zhou Wenping and Meng Zhijun were their saviors, but An Zaixin felt that he and his daughter were just bargaining chips, used by Zhou Wenping and Meng Zhijun to gain status in XN City.

After arriving in XN City, Zhou Wenping and Meng Zhijun, with their strength as level three infected people, plus a car full of dignitaries and scientific researchers, will definitely be taken seriously by the city of XN. These are not a big deal. What worries An Zaixin the most is that Zhou Wenping specially brought many beautiful women.

An Zaixin was very afraid of these women. When they arrived in XN City, they would be treated as gifts by Zhou Wenping and others, especially since his daughter was among them.

Moreover, as an academician, An Zaixin knows more secrets. The locator in the car is about to break down. Zhou Wenping thinks that the Zhang father and son who were used as replacements have been rescued by Huo Ying. So, can Zhou Wenping be so lucky to find other living people? If not, who will be the next locator?

Finally, in this kind of weather, Huo Ying was so generous as to give two ordinary people so much charcoal. There were only two possibilities. The first was that Huo Ying had no shortage of resources, and the second was that Yu Gui was not taken seriously by Huo Ying. No matter which one it was, An Zaixin decided to take the gamble.

If it is the first point, as long as he demonstrates his value, he can exchange it for supplies, and the value of an academician to a small town must be higher than that of XN City, which is full of academicians.

If it is the second point, then hiding in a small town may be safer than the densely populated XN City. An Zaixin has never seen any infected person crazy enough to squander charcoal on a rainy day. Take Zhou Wenping and Meng Zhijun just now for example, they were chased by Yu Gui and were so anxious that they wanted to snatch the charcoal from civilians.

In this comparison, Huo Ying must be stronger than the two level three infected people escorting the armored vehicle.

Huo Ying did not deny it: "You can call me Otsutsuki. I am curious. Lian Hai City was conquered by monsters. Without the dispelling runes, how did you get here?"

An Zaixin breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that his bet was right. The strong man in front of him, named Otsutsuki, really cared about the technology of the research institute.

Many academicians and researchers on the bus knew about this technology. When they arrived in XN City, this technology could only be confiscated for free, but in the small town, he was the only one who understood it.

"Datong... um, Mr. Mu." An Zaixin explained: "Our Lianhai City is next to the sea, so the research institute has been studying the mutated creatures in the sea, hoping to use the power of the monsters in the sea for humans to fight against the end of the world."

"Before the mutation, sea turtles were magical animals. They could swim in a straight line for thousands of kilometers in the sea and always find their nests without getting lost. This is because the sea turtle's brain has the ability to sense magnetic fields."

"It's like they have a magnetic field detector installed in their brains, which can sense every subtle change in the magnetic field of the entire planet. The essence of the Doomsday Mist is to interfere with the magnetic field and affect the five senses."

"After the turtles mutated, their sensing ability became stronger. They could distinguish the real changes in the magnetic field from the vast interference signals and locate the most accurate path."

"Our Lianhai City Research Institute transplanted the brains of mutant sea turtles into volunteers, and then used magnetic field positioning to identify the correct path."

Huo Ying did not comment on Lian Hai City's actions, and continued to ask: "What happened in Lian Hai City? Can't human weapons, plus level 3 infected people, stop the monsters?"

"It's unstoppable. The abilities of the infected are more like various mechanisms." An Zaixin did not hide anything and explained: "No matter what mechanism it is, there is a possibility of being restrained. Even some mechanisms look very strong, but the weakest weirdness can kill them."

"According to the files I know, there is a Level 3 infected person in XN City. She is the owner of the Childlike ability and has strong control and destructive power. However, she cannot join the investigation team to fight and can only be responsible for some protection work in the research institute. This is because Childlike is too easy to be restrained. An ugly-looking ordinary corpse ghost may scare her and make her ability ineffective."

Huo Ying suddenly fell silent. If nothing unexpected happened, An Zaixin should be talking about Xiao Huo Huo.

It seems that my method of using thunder to scare children and make them cry is too complicated to help them regain their childhood sweetness.

An Zaixin didn't know what Huo Ying was thinking, so he continued, "But the weird and infected creatures that enter the third level are more complicated. In addition to their mechanisms, their numbers also crush humans. For example, the most troublesome monsters in the city, the destroyers, are huge in size, have extremely high defenses, and can spit corrosive liquid for long-range attacks. If you want to kill this kind of monster, you must use enough Yang power. In other words, you have to pile them up with materials to kill them."

Huo Ying understood. Just like Yu Gui, no matter how strong the third-level infected person was, even if he could smash Yu Gui countless times, it would be useless. Without charcoal, Yu Gui could still be reborn.

The abilities of the third-level infected have a certain effect, but only the power of Yang can truly kill the weird.

"Lianhai City was destroyed in this way. Faced with a large number of weird and monsters, the Level 3 infected were simply unable to stop them. Overnight, the human city was destroyed. The only ones who escaped were a few dozen armored vehicles escorted by Level 3 infected."

Huo Ying didn't say anything, he had already imagined the miserable situation in Lianhai City.

An Zaixin still felt palpitations: "This is the first time that humans have been attacked by a large number of weird things. Even the walls built with Yangshi can't drive away the weird things. Moreover, the weird attacks are still spreading, as if there is an organized and premeditated general attack on humans!"

"Zhou Wenping and Meng Zhijun, the two infected people, went to XN City to report the news. The more people there are in a place, the more weird things it attracts. Lianhai City is not very far from XN City, and the canal is connected. It is possible that the weird things will attack XN City directly along the coastal road."

It seems that we need to find a way to upgrade the sacred tree.

As long as the sacred tree advances, Wood Release will be upgraded to the same level as Lightning Release and Earth Release. At that time, he will be able to truly perform the Wood Dragon Technique and Wooden Man Technique. If he uses poplar wood as his body, the yang power contained in it should be able to kill level three monsters and infected creatures.

Huo Ying looked at An Zaixin: "The last question is, what are Zhou Wenping and Meng Zhijun's abilities?"

An Jae-shin's expression turned serious.

The previous few issues were about transactions, and the current issue is about taking sides.
