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

Chapter 81 Service Area

This time, the raging flames did not explode again.

While Shen Yujie was treating the injured, Chu Qingyang and Fang Jun arrived carrying two boxes of supplies.

I gave them a packet of instant noodles and a box of soda crackers.

Those people never expected that they would benefit from misfortune.

This accidental injury not only healed their physical wounds, but also cured their old injuries.

Moreover, those "devil-like" individuals compensated them with a pack of instant noodles and a box of biscuits.

These "devilish" people have gone to such lengths; how could they possibly still have any complaints?

The eight people were moved to tears, and some even knelt down to thank them.

The onlookers were filled with envy at this scene, secretly resentful: Why wasn't it them who got hurt?
Shen Yujie treated all the injured, and Chu Qingyang and Fang Jun distributed the items to them.

Chu Qingyang and Fang Jun went to help pump out the gasoline.

Shen Yujie's face was slightly pale. He had exhausted his supernatural abilities by treating the injured, and even overdrawn them.

He approached Ye Qiumian, smiling obsequiously, "Sister Ye, the injured have all been healed, so what about the healing pills..."

"Well done!" Ye Qiumian readily took out a porcelain bottle and poured out two healing pills for him.

Shen Yujie was utterly astonished when he saw the full bottle of healing pills in Ye Qiumian's hand.

He took the healing pill in a daze, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

The pills that I treasured so much were actually a full bottle in Sister Ye's possession.

Looking at the two healing pills in his hand, Shen Yujie suddenly lost interest.

However, he still carefully put it away.

Shen Yujie absorbed the crystal core for two hours, regaining his superpowers, before joining Chu Qingyang and the other two in pumping gasoline.

After a busy day, Ye Qiumian only managed to burn five kilometers of abandoned vehicles and corpses.

Chu Qingyang and his three companions also had a great haul, filling the cargo compartment of a small truck with the gasoline they had extracted.

The four of them were so exhausted that they didn't want to move a single finger.

"Sister Ye, I really can't do it anymore. How about we just leave this matter alone?" Nan Shaohua looked utterly exhausted.

Ye Qiu Mian realized that this couldn't go on; the efficiency was too slow.

The strength of Nan Shaohua and his three companions alone is still too insignificant.

She pondered for a moment and made a decision in her heart.

"Let's find an open space to rest and wait for the Lincheng military's troops."

Chu Qingyang leaned against the hood of the SUV, his fingertips crackling with tiny silver currents. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and asked, "Sister Ye, do you mean to get the military to help?"

“That’s right.” Ye Qiumian jumped down from the top of the bus and landed lightly on the ground. “Li Hongbo’s army needs fuel. This highway is the only way to the state capital. Instead of the four of you working yourselves to death, why not borrow their help?”

Shen Yujie was squatting by the roadside, using a dagger to pry open the gas tank cap of a car. Hearing this, he paused and said, "Great, let's decide on that then."

The Lincheng military has tens of thousands of superhumans.

If they cooperate, cleaning up these abandoned cars and corpses on the highway will be a piece of cake.

This is where the saying "many hands make light work" truly comes into play.

"Sister Ye, I agree!" Fang Jun said, his eyes shining as he leaned against a yellow abandoned car.

Seeing that they had no objections, Ye Qiu Mian made the decision, "Then let's find a place to wait for them."

Ye Qiumian and her group continued their journey in their car, this time with an additional truck loaded with gasoline.

Soon, they arrived at a service area by the highway. The blue and white building had half its roof collapsed, and the glass curtain wall was shattered, leaving only the frame. It was full of people who were temporarily stopping by.

Chu Qingyang quickly found an open space in the service area and beckoned Ye Qiumian and Nan Shaohua to come over.

That's an area to the right of the service area, where there's a bamboo grove.

People who stop at the service area tend to stay near the buildings, so there are hardly any people coming from this side.

Ye Qiumian and the other four stayed here.

After resting for an hour, Ye Qiumian signaled Chu Qingyang to unleash lightning.

Chu Qingyang understood immediately, knowing that she was about to undergo body tempering again.

So he activated his supernatural power and began to condense thunderclouds...

Shen Yujie, carrying the half-bucket of water he had just asked Fang Jun to put over, suddenly stopped in his tracks upon seeing this scene.

Chu Qingyang raised his hand, and silver electricity condensed into a snake shape in his palm. Ye Qiumian calmly closed her eyes and straightened her back.

The next second, crackling electricity shot out like a living thing, slamming hard into Ye Qiumian's shoulder!
"Chu Qingyang!" Shen exclaimed in shock, the bucket in his hand crashing to the ground with a thud, water spreading across the floor.

He expected to see a bloody mess, but instead, the violent electric currents, upon touching Ye Qiu Mian's skin, obediently traveled along her meridians, outlining fine silver patterns on her body.

Ye Qiumian's forehead was covered in cold sweat, her jaw was clenched, and her knuckles turned white from the force, but she did not utter a single cry of pain.

With each surge of the electric current, her muscles trembled slightly, as if countless steel needles were drilling under her skin, yet strangely, it also carried a sense of transparency after being torn apart.

Sweat beaded on Chu Qingyang's forehead. Controlling lightning was already mentally taxing.

Now, precisely controlling the intensity—ensuring Ye Qiu Mian isn't harmed while still achieving the desired body-tempering effect—is even more challenging.

He looked at Ye Qiumian's skin, charred black by the lightning, his Adam's apple bobbed, and finally gritted his teeth and increased his output.

He trusted Sister Ye's judgment, just as he had countless times before.

Shen Yujie was dumbfounded; he had never imagined that she would dare to use lightning as a tool for cultivation.

But looking at Ye Qiumian's gradually rosy complexion, and the faint golden light left behind after the lines disappeared.

Shen Yujie suddenly remembered Ye Qiumian's powerful strength; so that's how she cultivated it.

"So... superpowers can be used like this." Shen Yujie muttered to himself, quietly retreating to the corner of the wall.

Meanwhile, Nan Shaohua and Fang Jun had found a relatively clean corner and were absorbing supernatural energy with the crystal cores in their hands.

The sound of electricity from the open ground came and went, like a thunderstorm on a summer afternoon.

Ye Qiumian's figure appeared and disappeared in the flashes of lightning. Her clothes were soaked with sweat and clung to her back, outlining her increasingly firm lines.

Chu Qingyang stood opposite her, the electric current crackling at his fingertips, each release accompanied by a slight pallor of his face.

After an unknown amount of time, when the first ray of sunset peeked through the gaps in the clouds, Chu Qingyang finally withdrew his hand.

Ye Qiumian slowly opened her eyes, a sharp glint in them. She raised her hand and moved her shoulders, her bones making a slight cracking sound. Her voice was hoarse from the recent body tempering: "One more round."

Several days passed in this way, and on the morning of the fifth day, the roar of engines could be heard in the distance.

Ye Qiumian suddenly opened her eyes and looked into the distance, where she saw clouds of dust rising at the end of the road.

More than a hundred military vehicles bearing the license plates of the Lincheng military were slowly driving up.

Immediately following behind was a long, densely packed line of vehicles.

There are modified pickup trucks and tarpaulins covering the road, stretching as far as the eye can see along the winding highway.

Leading the way was a camouflage military vehicle.
