Apocalypse: Why did you provoke her? She's a cultivator.

Chapter 104 She is a cultivator

Just like his expression when he first learned that Ye Qiumian wanted Chu Qingyang's lightning to temper her body.

At that time, he was also both shocked and in awe of Sister Ye.

Zhu Qihong then asked in confusion, "How could Sister Ye use lightning to temper her body? I've never heard of any special ability that requires lightning tempering?"

Having been in the Lincheng military for so long, he knows all about the supernatural abilities that have emerged so far.

The most common types of superpowers are those based on the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, speed, healing, and strength.

Lightning and wind elemental users are rare, with only a handful of people using them.

There's also Zheng Shuxue, who was previously protected by Li Hongbo; she's the only person he's ever heard of with a spatial ability.

Later, when level 5 psychic abilities appeared among the zombies, he thought that humans should also have psychic abilities.

But so far, he hasn't heard of it.

But of all these superpowers, he had never seen one that required lightning to temper the body.

"You've been with us for so long, haven't you noticed anything?" Nan Shaohua looked at Zhu Qihong with surprise.

He thought Zhu Qihong had already discovered it, but unexpectedly, Zhu Qihong hadn't noticed anything at all.

Zhu Qihong looked blankly at him: "What should I be trying to figure out?"

He went through everything that had happened from the day he arrived at the service area until today.

She only vaguely felt that Ye Qiu Mian had something strange about her, except that she had something that could grow bigger and smaller and could fly.

He really couldn't recall any other discoveries, and even felt that Ye Qiu Mian was incredibly powerful.

It's quite normal for her to have one or two strange things in her hands.

Which powerful person doesn't have some hidden cards up their sleeve?

In fact, Zhu Qihong did not notice anything amiss; he was simply blinded by the similarities between spiritual energy and supernatural abilities.

Ye Qiumian has a fire elemental root. When she doesn't need flames, the spiritual energy she emits is a pale golden color.

Fire-type ability users, when they do not condense their abilities into fire, have a light yellowish-brown color.

Without careful comparison, the difference between the two would be impossible to detect.

Furthermore, Zhu Qihong had personally witnessed Ye Qiumian using flames, so he naturally assumed she was a fire-type ability user.

But after hearing what Nan Shaohua said, he wondered if he had overlooked something.

Meeting Zhu Qihong's eager gaze, Nan Shaohua said without any pride, "Sister Ye is not a superhuman, she is a cultivator."

Whenever Ye Qiumian is mentioned as a cultivator, Nan Shaohua feels incredibly proud.

Look around her now; she has unknowingly gathered quite a few powerful superhumans.

He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had made up his mind at first sight and insisted on following her shamelessly.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have the peace he has now; he'd probably still be among the crowds hurrying on their way.

"Cultivators?!" Zhu Qihong was once again stunned by the information revealed by Nan Shaohua.

Aren't cultivators only found in online novels?

It's actually happening in real life now!

Zhu Qihong was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.

The teammates behind Zhu Qihong also heard it, and their expressions were almost identical to Zhu Qihong's.

But it quickly exploded, like water droplets falling into a boiling oil pan.

"So there really are immortal cultivators in this world."

"Sigh, before the apocalypse, I even had an online debate about this issue."

"So the ultimate end of science really is metaphysics!"

Listening to his teammates' discussions, Zhu Qihong still couldn't quite believe it. He was not only a child who grew up under the red flag, but also underwent ideological baptism after joining the army.

It's still a bit hard for me to accept right now.

After all, this was a huge shock to his long-held beliefs.

He looked at Nan Shaohua with suspicion: "You're not lying to me, are you?"

Nan Shaohua scoffed lightly, "Believe it or not!"

Zhu Qihong awkwardly touched his nose, his gaze falling on Shen Yujie and Fang Jun's faces.

"Is what he said really true?"

Fang Jun nodded silently, and Shen Yujie, who was standing next to him, replied, "Yes, it's true."

Only after receiving affirmative answers from both of them did Zhu Qihong reluctantly accept.

Nan Shaohua gave Shen Yujie and Fang Jun a look, "Are you two free right now?"

Shen Yujie raised an eyebrow at him: "What's up?"

Fang Jun didn't say anything, but he stared straight at him.

Nan Shaohua raised his eyebrows. "I want to try to reach level six in my superpowers tonight. Can you two keep watch for me for a while?"

"Okay." The two nodded and said in unison.

The three then found a clean spot, took out their crystal cores, and placed them in front of them.

Nan Shaohua picked up a crystal core in each hand, held them tightly in his palms, closed his eyes, and began to absorb the energy from the crystal cores.

Shen Yujie and Fang Jun sat on the ground five meters away from him, each holding a crystal core, making the most of their time to enhance their abilities.

However, the two of them also became more vigilant, and they could detect anyone approaching them immediately.

Zhu Qihong looked at Nan Shaohua and the other two with a complicated expression, then glanced in the direction where Ye Qiumian was.

I couldn't help but sigh inwardly: These people are fucking too greedy!
He turned around and suddenly met a pair of bright eyes.

Zhu Qihong waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "You all go and cultivate. Look at yourselves, they are so strong, yet they still cultivate so hard. You should learn from them."

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone protested, "Captain Zhu, I want to cultivate too, but I don't have a single crystal core. How am I supposed to cultivate?"

"That's right, as long as Captain Zhu gives me some crystal cores, I'll go cultivate right now."

"Captain Zhu, if they want it, I want it too!"

"I want one too, I want one too..."

Zhu Qihong's face darkened. How could he have overlooked such an important issue?

He knew how many crystal cores everyone had previously received, as they were all in the military.

They usually have to do missions and complete daily training, so they don't have much time to kill zombies and mine crystal cores.

Therefore, after each crystal core was generated, they would take it for cultivation.

This time, Li Hongbo arranged for them to help Ye Qiumian clear out the zombies. After each use up their superpowers, they could absorb crystal cores.

With the nourishment of these numerous crystal cores, their superpowers began to advance by leaps and bounds.

But nighttime wasn't the time to clean up abandoned cars, and Chu Qingyang had already collected the crystal cores.

At this moment, they could only watch helplessly as Chu Qingyang and the other two absorbed the crystal cores.

They were probably already extremely anxious, but they ended up getting scolded by Zhu.

Zhu Qihong's ears turned slightly red, and he said angrily, "Go away, go away! I don't have any crystal cores. If you don't have any crystal cores, go and rest. We still need to clean the road tomorrow. Those who are patrolling today, stay and patrol."

After saying that, Zhu Qihong quickly left the spot as if fleeing.

Everyone let out a groan and reluctantly went back to their cars to rest.

As Ye Qiumian absorbed each bolt of lightning, Chu Qingyang frantically absorbed the crystal core, rapidly restoring his supernatural abilities.
