Consuming lifespan to draw rewards, I'm invincible in the apocalypse!

The woman's cigarette was long and thin.

It made Guan Ling's hands appear slender, fair, and with distinct knuckles, almost like those of a fairy.

She only took a few puffs before throwing the cigarette away.

She then squatted down and peeled the spatial ring off her sister's corpse.

Jiang Yi looked at the scene.

A timeless and unparalleled line of poetry involuntarily popped into my mind—

A fire broke out on the mountain, and the domineering police chief fell in love with me!

……

He casually stomped on the cigarette butt, and then heard Guan Ling's lazy voice as she squatted there again:

"When the apocalypse first came, I was quite upset because my parents weren't in Jiangcheng, and I couldn't protect them..."

"But as time went by, those regrets and longings for family seemed to gradually fade away."

Jiang Yi nodded, and this time it was his turn to lean against the tree trunk.

After thinking for a moment, he said something comforting in a very gentlemanly manner:

"Since you're so upset, I have some good news for you."

?

Guan Ling turned to look at him, quite expectant, wondering what good news it would be.

Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow and said calmly:

"Liao Yuanfeng had a strange encounter before and obtained a mysterious black talisman."

"I don't know what the specific effects will be."

"However, I think there's a possibility that he's not dead yet."

"..."

This "good news" is here.

Guan Ling's lips twitched slightly.

She froze for a moment before blurting out, "I really, thank you!" with a speechless expression.

If Liao Yuanfeng were still alive, it wouldn't be good news for her!

Although she and Liao Yuanfeng had no grudges against each other, and their previous interactions had been harmonious.

But just now...

In a life-or-death situation, she stole Liao Yuanfeng's chance to survive!

Guan Ling didn't think she had done anything wrong regarding this matter.

Even bystanders would likely understand this as "human nature".

After all, in that situation, there was only one teleportation scroll.

Therefore, it will only belong to the strongest!

Guan Ling never intended to kill Liao Yuanfeng.

She just didn't want to die.

But Liao Yuanfeng, the victim, certainly wouldn't understand this "human nature".

If he is still alive...

Therefore, the conflict between him and Guan Ling will inevitably be one of life and death!

Jiang Yi knew, of course, that this news was definitely not good news for Guan Ling.

He looked at Guan Ling's expression.

However, from an outsider's perspective, he reflected on his own grievances with Chang Jiao'e and Tang Ke.

Upon closer reflection, those so-called grudges...

From the perspective of some bystanders, it seems to have become understandable, just human nature.

However, as a victim himself, he, like Liao Yuanfeng, could not forgive such "human nature".

Just kidding, he's not a saint!

Liao Yuanfeng may not be ruthless enough, but he is definitely not a saint either.

If he is truly alive...

Jiang Yi glanced at Guan Ling, whose eyes were filled with complicated emotions.

He thought that if Liao Yuanfeng was really still alive, there was a certain possibility that Guan Ling would personally deal with him.

Just like Tang Ke also wanted to kill him.

Perhaps from the beginning, they had no grudges against each other, and even got along well.

However, from the moment Tang Ke snatched the upgrade life token, the enmity was bound to be formed.

That's why he was so determined to stab Jiang Yi with a knife, intending to kill him.

As Jiang Yi was pondering this, Guan Ling didn't continue the discussion about whether Liao Yuanfeng was alive or dead.

She then asked directly, "What are your thoughts on that miasma swamp?"

Jiang Yi thought for a moment, then said seriously, "I didn't have any ideas at first, but seeing you littering cigarette butts just now suddenly gave me an idea."

Guan Ling's eyes lit up: "You mean, arson?"

Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow: "I'm not sure, but I want to give it a try."

The pure black, highly poisonous gas above the swamp is, to put it simply, a gas.

But whether it's a flammable gas, and whether it can actually set the swamp ablaze...

Actually, Jiang Yi couldn't say for sure either.

Even the consequences of setting fire to the swamp are unpredictable.

But in those poisonous, miasma-ridden places, a proper exploration would likely yield even fewer results.

Liao Yuanfeng's assessment was absolutely correct; Guan Ling is a very bold person!

After a quick consideration, she made her decision: "Okay! Let's set it on fire!"

"The effects of the beast-attracting sarcoma will likely last for a while longer. During this time, we..."

As a core member of the Blood Swallow Club, this woman could be considered a high-ranking person.

They were almost used to assigning tasks and giving orders.

Jiang Yi interrupted her directly: "We're free to act on our own. We'll meet in the grove outside the swamp in an hour and then discuss setting the fire."

As he spoke, he made it seem as if he was about to leave and act alone.

Guan Ling frowned slightly and spoke very quickly:

"If the situation is unclear at that time, should we gather more manpower?"

Jiang Yi was surprised that this woman would ask for his opinion.

He paused slightly, but left without answering.

Gathering manpower is actually a double-edged sword.

Sometimes, there really is more power in numbers.

But sometimes, too many people can also lead to problems.

Jiang Yi did not answer, leaving it to Guan Ling to make the decision herself.

Anyway, he can't find any manpower on his side.

After splitting up with Guan Ling, Jiang Yi actually headed directly towards the swamp.

In the grove, he could see a large flock of black birds in the distance.

Just like before, it devoured Wu Xu's team.

The large number of blackbirds gathered together looked like an impenetrable black curtain, completely obscuring the situation on the other side of the swamp.

Jiang Yi was also unsure whether Liao Yuanfeng was still alive. He sent a message using the friend function but received no reply.

It has been almost an hour since he last ate the blue longevity pill.

His previous deal with Liao Yuanfeng had also given him money again.

So they decided to take this opportunity to make another acquisition in the trading area.

He prepared to return to the nest space.

Before that, I habitually surveyed the surroundings, preparing to find a secluded place to take action.

It was during this investigation that he made the discovery...

Something seems to be hidden in a secluded thicket of thorny bushes in that grove.
