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

Chapter 67 has actually been broken through?

With his current level six superpower, he would probably have no chance of winning against her.

Who exactly is this woman?

To avoid offending her later, Yu Wenhao pondered for a moment and asked, "Xiao Nuo, how did she save you and your uncle and aunt?"

When Ye Qiumian was mentioned, Xiao Nuo's eyes lit up instantly.

She smiled, her eyes crinkling slightly, "That was on the way to Lincheng after we left Pinglian County..."

Soon, Xiao Nuo recounted how her family had come to know Ye Qiu Mian.

Later, she suffered retaliation from Zheng Shuxue. Although she escaped, her family was rescued by Ye Qiumian.

These are things she heard from her parents later.

These aren't secrets that can't be told; you can find out by asking around.

Therefore, Xiao Nuo felt there was no need to hide it from him.

...

More than 20 kilometers away from Lincheng, there is a remote area nestled among mountains.

At the foot of the mountain lies a town called "Quanwu".

At this time, Quanwu Town had already become the territory of the zombie king Shi Xichen.

A heavy, oppressive atmosphere permeated the air above Quanwu Town, making people feel extremely suffocated.

The town's houses were completely destroyed by mindless zombies, turning it into a city in ruins.

Amidst the ruins, broken bricks, crumbling walls, and overgrown weeds combine to create a desolate and eerie scene.

The thin light in the void shone down through the gray-white clouds, making the place appear even more desolate, dilapidated, gloomy, and terrifying.

Inside the only building in Quanwu Town that was not damaged.

A man with thick, jet-black hair sat on a spacious leather sofa.

Fine, wispy black hair, slightly curled, casually falls across her forehead.

Shi Xichen was frantically absorbing the crystal core at this moment.

If anyone were to see the crystal core in his hand at this moment...

You will be surprised to find that the lowest level zombie crystal cores are all level three or higher.

Just then, a level 4 speed-type zombie darted into the building.

It was moving so fast that only a blurry figure could be seen.

The speed-type zombie made its way up to the eighth floor.

It stopped at the door and knocked gently.

"Enter!"

As a deep voice sounded, the door was gently pushed open.

Shi Xichen slowly opened his eyes, his gaze deep, his eyebrows like swords, and his eyes sharp as a hawk.

His gaze fell on the speed-type zombie's hand, his eyes turning cold: "Where's the crystal core?"

"Your Majesty..." The speed-type zombie looked distressed and hesitantly pointed in a direction.

"All the zombies kept in captivity over there have been killed."

"waste!"

Shi Xichen's face was extremely pale and gloomy.

He kept those zombies in captivity so that they would devour each other.

In this way, high-level crystal cores can be cultivated for him to absorb in the shortest possible time.

The reason his superpowers improved so quickly was because of this method.

Moreover, he discovered that as his strength increased, the traces of zombies on his body became increasingly faint.

This means that he can always return to his former self one day.

To achieve that day, he must work hard to improve his superpowers and become stronger.

Now, apart from the bluish veins on his chest and his pale face, he looks almost like a normal person.

In order to become a normal person as soon as possible, he doesn't mind using any means necessary to achieve his goal.

Besides, he still has a grudge to settle!

The thought of that person fueled Shi Xichen's growing hatred.

They sensed that the king before them seemed to be hiding an overwhelming rage.

A powerful aura gathered in the air, like an impending bolt of lightning, terrifying the zombies. The speed-type zombie lowered its head, silently praying that the king wouldn't dig out its crystal core.

Seeing the slightly trembling speed-type zombie, Shi Xichen slightly restrained his aura.

He asked coldly, "Who killed those zombies?"

The speed-type zombie hurriedly said, "According to some of the zombies that escaped from that area, it seems to be three men and one woman. The woman is extremely strong and killed a large number of zombies with a wave of her hand."

"A woman?"

For some reason, Shi Xichen recalled that feared figure in his heart.

During the first zombie horde, I was almost chased down and killed by that person.

During the second night raid, I was almost attacked to the point of becoming mentally disabled by that person.

Having suffered two defeats, in order to avoid facing that person again.

He decided to bide his time and build up his strength before making any moves.

According to him, he felt that the woman was likely the one who had attacked him twice.

Shi Xichen clenched his fists, his brows furrowed, and his eyes flashed with resentment and anger.

It felt as if a surge of anger was burning within him.

But he was helpless; he couldn't beat that person for the time being.

He had no other choice but to swallow this loss.

"Okay, I understand." Shi Xichen waved it away. "Go and see how the other zombies are improving their strength. If you find any suitable crystal cores, bring them back."

"Yes." The speed-type zombie breathed a sigh of relief and immediately darted away.

...

Upon returning to Lincheng, Ye Qiumian and her three companions immediately headed to Zhenchanglou Restaurant.

Nan Shaohua, Chu Qingyang, and Fang Jun ordered a meal with two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes on the first floor, and then wolfed it down.

Ye Qiumian naturally went up to the second floor.

After she finished eating, she packed up more than twenty dishes before leaving Zhenchanglou.

Nan Shaohua, Chu Qingyang, and Fang Jun had already left Zhenchanglou.

All three of them had crystal cores, so they went to a shopping mall owned by the military.

They bought a lot of food and then headed home.

As a result, they encountered Shen Yujie halfway there.

"Holy crap, where have you guys been these past few days?"

Shen Yujie reached out and punched Nan Shaohua and Chu Qingyang, one punch each, saying, "I've gone to look for you two several times, but I haven't seen you."

Only after he finished speaking did he realize that the two of them had become stronger.

His eyes widened instantly, as if they were copper bells, and he exclaimed in surprise, "You two... you've both broken through?"

Nan Shaohua raised his chin smugly, "Didn't expect that, did you?"

That smug look of his is just asking for a beating.

Shen Yujie couldn't be bothered with him!
Having known each other for so long, he was well aware of Nan Shaohua's personality.

The more you pay attention to him, the more smug and arrogant he becomes.

Shen Yujie stared intently at Chu Qingyang, asking with great curiosity, "Qingyang, is your superpower now at level five?"

Chu Qingyang hummed in agreement, "We went out with Sister Ye for the past two days and only got back today."

Shen Yujie was speechless upon hearing this.

He remembered Chu Qingyang's special ability, which had recently broken through to level four.

It would be very difficult to break through to level 5 in less than a month.

Unexpectedly, after their trip, both of them achieved breakthroughs.

Fang Jun stood silently to the side, not interrupting their conversation.

He and Shen Yujie had only met once, and they were not familiar with each other.

Shen Yujie was so shocked by the two men's strength that he couldn't recover for a long time.

When he came to his senses, he noticed Fang Jun standing to the side.

Upon seeing this, he was even more dumbfounded.
