Two figures charged at each other.
*Swish!*
The sound of tearing air was piercing.
Qin Feng and the mutant passed by each other.
Back to back.
*Gulp!*
A large head separated from the mutant's body and fell to the ground.
Astonishingly!
Qin Feng held a blade in his hand.
That blade…
Was unlike common blades.
It was blurry.
Similar to a spatial shield, it caused the surrounding space to distort in peculiar ways.
Through the distortion, a silhouette could be discerned, revealing it to be a blade.
It had no physical form.
It was transparent.
Yet, it was an indestructible blade!
"Captain, what… what is that?!" Zhou Haiyang was stunned.
"Just realized it."
Qin Feng grinned, shaking the battle blade in his hand, "Spatial ability – Spatial Blade."
That’s right!
He had put himself at a disadvantage precisely to comprehend Spatial Blade.
After taking a beating, he truly comprehended it.
The beating was worth it!
"Caw caw…" Bird Lord flapped his wings, clearly cheering.
Boss is awesome!
Even Bird Lord's lightning couldn't penetrate the mutant's defenses, yet Boss took it down!
"You're too dangerous like this!" Xiao Ruoruo's tone was almost complaining.
"It wasn't that dangerous."
Suddenly!
Qin Feng's mind stirred.
One…
Two…
Three…
A pile of sabers, cleavers, and straight swords clattered down in a heap.
"If I really couldn't win, or couldn't comprehend it, I'd just keep swinging my blade," Qin Feng chuckled.
Everyone: …
So he had a pile of weapons all along?
He deliberately didn't use them.
He deliberately pushed himself to a desperate situation just to comprehend Spatial Blade?
"This works too?!" Zhou Haiyang felt his concern was in vain.
"It certainly works."
Qin Feng said solemnly, "When zombies are at a disadvantage, their mutation rate increases significantly."
"When ability users are pushed to a desperate situation, it's also beneficial for comprehending new abilities."
"The prerequisite is that you can control the situation."
Putting himself in a desperate situation without any backup…
It was like Qin Feng, who couldn't defeat the mutant without using weapons.
But, he could use weapons at any time, and could reverse the situation at any moment.
What about others?
They had no backup!
If they were at a disadvantage, they were finished.
…
Apocalypse Star.
The capital of the White Elephant Nation.
Unlike adventurers from most countries.
For example, Great Xia Nation's adventurers, although most followed Zhang Tianbao, choosing to hoard supplies and stay put, there were still a few who acted alone.
For example, Qin Feng.
For example, Zhang Heng.
But!
The adventurers of the White Elephant Nation were different.
The people who advocated the 'non-violent non-cooperation' theory, a ridiculous notion, were revered as national heroes.
What kind of mindset is that?
Cowards!
Laggards!
All the adventurers of the White Elephant Nation elected a so-called high-caste individual as their leader.
A total of 100 people.
Under the 'leader's' arrangement, they immediately found many motorcycles on Apocalypse Star.
A week ago, using their motorcycle artifact, they moved a large amount of supplies into a building they deemed very sturdy.
Don't ask why they used motorcycles.
Because…
The White Elephant Nation had a peculiar fondness for motorcycles.
In their country, a motorcycle's carrying capacity easily rivaled a heavy truck.
Everyone worked together to stock up.
Orderly.
In this regard, they were very similar to Zhang Tianbao.
They emptied a supermarket of all its curry.
For the next full week, they cooked curry in the building, and the entire floor smelled of curry.
Anyway, with the supplies they had prepared, it was more than enough to survive the dozens of days of the plot. They could even last a year!
Until…
Today!
All zombies had evolved to level 2!
As fate would have it, a level 4 mutant appeared near the building they were in.
Even more unfortunate…
A mutant with intelligence integrated the nearby level 2 zombies, forming a zombie army, and then discovered them.
Zhang Tianbao and dozens of others were being chased by a level 2 zombie.
Someone would surely escape.
But!
One hundred people, surrounded by a zombie army of thousands, trapped in a building.
Was there even the slightest chance of escape?
Thus.
A feast of flesh and blood began.
…
Blue Star Live Stream.
— 'To put himself at a disadvantage to comprehend, my Feng Ge is really ruthless to himself!'
— 'If you're not ruthless, you can't stand firm.'
— 'Someone so strong is still working this hard… I need to work harder to move bricks!'
— 'Pah! Constantly probing the edge of death, one day he will die! (White Elephant Nation script)'
— 'Holy cow! Caught someone riding a motorcycle!'
Suddenly!
As countless netizens in the Great Xia live stream began to scold the White Elephant Nation netizen…
【The White Elephant Nation has been wiped out.】
The plot of 'Living Dead Legion' descended upon the White Elephant Nation!
— 'Help! There are so many zombies in the slum near my home!'
Astonishingly!
It was the White Elephant Nation netizen who had just been so arrogant in the Great Xia Nation live stream.
His nickname was 'White Elephant Nation Global Number One'.
The next moment.
The system displayed that the ID had gone offline.
Fortunately!
Blue Star was not Apocalypse Star; the state apparatus was still powerful.
With a large-scale military, zombies could not run rampant.
But!
Given the efficiency of the White Elephant Nation, how many people would die before the zombies were completely eradicated…
Heaven knows!
In the Great Xia Nation live stream, hundreds of millions of netizens rejoiced.
Fireworks erupted.
…
Apocalypse Star.
Qin Feng used Spatial Blade to break open the mutant's head and extracted an orange crystal.
A level four crystal!
It was the first time he had obtained one.
Different levels of ability users had a certain limit on the number of crystals they could absorb daily.
But!
Ability users could quickly improve their strength by absorbing high-level crystals.
This single level 4 crystal.
Could instantly upgrade a level 1 ability user to level 3!
Qin Feng had killed level 3 mutants before.
However, he hadn't absorbed their crystals.
He had specifically kept those crystals for other purposes.
Now that he had an additional high-level crystal…
He could use one!
…
The members of the team were chatting and laughing.
Some asked about the function of Qin Feng's new ability.
Some marveled at his strength.
Only…
In the distance.
Wang Shouli remained motionless, like a statue.
He had seen Xiao Ruoruo and the others suppress the evolving level 2 zombies.
He had seen Han Ling make zombies unable to move.
He had also seen…
Qin Feng's fierce battle with the mutant!
Superpowers?
Wang Shouli was just an ordinary person.
All of this overturned his previous perceptions.
"What's your name?" Qin Feng walked towards him after retrieving the crystal.
He had a good impression of Wang Shouli.
"I… I…" Wang Shouli's lips trembled.
"Don't be nervous."
Qin Feng smiled and said, "Zombies have crystals in their heads; as long as you absorb them, you can awaken – there are many ability users in this world."
Let's put it this way.
After this week, many more people had died.
Approximately twenty hundred million survivors remained.
The communication system had collapsed, and most people still didn't know the secret of crystals and abilities.
However, a small portion had discovered the secret.
There were already tens of millions of ability users!
Hearing Qin Feng's words, Wang Shouli relaxed somewhat. At least…
He could confirm Qin Feng was not an alien.
He then opened up.
He was a retired soldier and served as the village head.
After the nuclear explosion, the cold snap, and the descent of zombies, he led the villagers to hide in a cellar, but they were discovered by a group of zombies.
To protect the villagers, he came out to lure the zombies away.
Fortunately!
This place was some distance from Shangjing.
It was not in the nuclear blast zone, fewer people had died, and there were not many zombies.
The key was that he encountered Qin Feng; otherwise, escaping would have been difficult.
"Absorb this."
After listening to him, Qin Feng handed him a crystal.
A level 1 crystal.
It could only allow him to awaken an ability.
"Thank you!"
Wang Shouli clasped the crystal and followed the method he was told.
Soon.
After absorption, he awakened.
"What ability?" Han Xiao asked eagerly.
Her ability was too weak; she was the only one without combat power, completely useless.
She was inevitably a little unbalanced.
Would she be the only one among the awakened ability users who was the most useless?
"It's…"
Wang Shouli thought for a moment and reached out towards Qin Feng.
"What are you doing?!"
*Clang!*
Zhou Haiyang was very vigilant and immediately drew his sword.
