Zhou and Feng scrambled to their feet, a look of horror on their faces as Wang Luo approached, wielding a baseball bat.
They realized they had stumbled upon a dangerous individual.
"Beautiful lady, heroine, spare us, heroine!" Brother Long immediately dropped to his knees, begging for mercy.
This was the apocalypse; no law could protect them. All he could do was pray for his life.
*Bang!*
Zhao Qingxuan delivered a kick to Brother Long's chest, sending him flying several meters.
"How dare you bully Shushu? Even calling me 'Grandmother' won't save you!"
Zhao Qingxuan's beautiful eyes blazed with fury.
*Wah!*
Brother Long spat out a mouthful of blood and immediately lost consciousness.
Zhou Feng, standing beside him, was stunned.
How could things have escalated to this point?
"Master, I know I was wrong. I was blinded by greed before. I shouldn't have held Xiao Shu hostage, and I shouldn't have forced you out to attract zombies!"
Zhou Feng knelt on the ground, trembling, tears streaming down his face.
"But it was all Zhao Long's fault! He had wicked intentions towards Xiao Shu and wanted her for himself. I... I was forced; I didn't do it willingly!"
"Master, please spare me this once, for calling you Master!"
"I promise I'll turn over a new leaf and be filial to you from now on!"
"......"
"Hmph! A dog can't change its habits. If there's a first time, there will be a second!"
Zhao Qingxuan snorted coldly, raising her baseball bat.
Yang Qianzhou shook his head. "I can't believe I even thought about setting you and Xiao Shu up. I was truly blind!"
"Qingxuan, wait a moment!" Yang Shu suddenly called out.
"What is it, Shushu?"
She didn't turn around, but her action halted.
Wang Luo had told her not to leave any enemies behind, as they might launch a surprise attack.
Of course, Wang Luo's exact words were that only he could have access to her front and back.
Yang Shu walked over and looked down coldly at Zhou Feng, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Xiao Shu, I was wrong. I shouldn't have held you hostage! I shouldn't have forced Master away!"
"But I was forced. You'll forgive me, won't you?"
"Spare my life, and I'll be your dog from now on. I'll lick wherever you tell me to!"
Yang Shu took the baseball bat from Zhao Qingxuan and, without a word, swung it down, just like playing golf!
*Bang!*
Blood splattered, mixed with creamy white brain matter. Zhou Feng's head exploded.
Yang Shu hadn't forgotten the perverse ideas this disgusting man had given Zhao Long.
Not only did he talk about fantasizing over her photos every time, but he also mentioned fists, beer bottles, and a three-pronged approach...
As perverse as it could get!
Keeping such a disgusting creature would only pollute the air!
Sigh.
Yang Qianzhou sighed.
He had intended to train Zhou Feng as his successor, but who knew...
As times changed, human nature was completely exposed!
Wang Luo stepped forward and unhesitatingly took Zhao Long's life, finding over twenty energy source crystals on him.
This was likely the combined harvest of their group.
"Just a dozen more and I'll reach 100!"
Wang Luo's heart filled with anticipation for the Black Iron rank.
Only by reaching the Black Iron rank could he properly use some of his special abilities. Right now, even using the D-class ability 'Palm Blade' once would drain him dry!
"The supplies here are quite high-class!"
Wang Luo observed the supplies in the storage room.
However, most of them were cigarettes, alcohol, drinks, and instant food.
Fruits and vegetables requiring refrigeration were stored in the warehouse near the kitchen.
Wang Luo waved his hand, collecting all the supplies from the room.
"This..."
This scene astonished Yang Shu and the other.
What kind of mystical technique was this?
"This is Wang Luo's special ability, used for storing supplies!" Zhao Qingxuan explained from the side.
"Special ability?"
"Is it the kind of magical power we possess?" Yang Shu asked.
Zhao Qingxuan nodded.
"Shushu, why don't you come with us to the villa? This place is too dangerous! The villa is much safer!"
"To the villa? Are you two living together?"
Zhao Qingxuan nodded, her face blushing.
Not only were they living together, but they were sleeping together!
"But will it inconvenience you if we come?"
"It's fine, we can all go together!"
"Together? You mean the three of us together?"
"Ah! No! I mean we can live together. The villa is quite spacious anyway!"
"Alright, we have nowhere else to go anyway!"
Yang Shu nodded.
She thought Zhao Qingxuan meant for the three of them to play cards together, which had scared her!
Yang Qianzhou stood by, his eyes fixed on his nose and his nose on his heart. He didn't want to get involved in the affairs of these young people!
In just a moment, Wang Luo had scoured all the supplies from the area.
"Uncle, do you know where the warehouse is here?" Wang Luo asked Yang Qianzhou.
Since he was here, he naturally had to clean it out completely; it wouldn't be his style otherwise!
"Yes, it's on the first basement level!"
"Are we going now?" Yang Qianzhou asked.
Wang Luo nodded.
"I'll take you!"
With that, they left the area.
Only a few corpses remained inside, soon to be overwhelmed by zombies drawn by the scent of blood!
As they descended, the group moved quickly.
They didn't use the same stairs they came up on, so they didn't encounter many zombies.
However, when they reached the warehouse on the first basement level, their path was blocked by a zombie with a disproportionately large head, resembling a big-headed doll.
"Mutated Zombie - Devourer!" Wang Luo murmured.
These zombies could evolve not only through time like ordinary zombies but also by devouring awakened individuals and mutated beasts.
Furthermore, they possessed considerable combat power themselves!
They were considered boss-level existences among zombies.
At the same level, ordinary ones were not much.
Especially after evolving to the Black Iron rank, only awakened individuals of S-rank or higher, wielding S-rank or higher special abilities, could kill them one-on-one. Those of A-rank and below were simply fodder!
This was why only awakened individuals of S-rank or higher had the right to establish factions in the apocalypse; it was because these individuals possessed the ability to solo bosses!
"But fortunately, this Devourer is just an ordinary zombie, not yet evolved to Black Iron rank!"
If it had evolved to Black Iron rank, it would be a boss among Black Iron ranked zombies!
Wang Luo would be no match for it.
"Kill!"
Wang Luo roared, drawing his Black Abyss and charging forward.
Zhao Qingxuan, wielding her baseball bat, followed closely.
Yang Shu also charged forward, gripping a steel pipe. She had killed many zombies in the past few days and had gained considerable experience.
She had awakened her special ability on the second day.
It was SS-rank, and Wang Luo knew she was a light-elementalist.
These kinds of ability users were rare.
Why?
Because light-elemental awakened individuals could purify polluted water and soil!
This ability alone established the supreme status of the light element.
Moreover, if one was bitten or scratched by a zombie and infected with the zombie virus, a light-elementalist could provide treatment before they completely mutated into a zombie.
It could be said that this was the undisputed "healer" of the apocalypse!
Of course, this was contingent on the awakened individual mastering purification-type special abilities!
In his previous life, within the faction led by "Butcher" Zhou Yiming, there was a light-elemental awakened individual who was treasured like a gem by that group.
If outsiders wanted to interact with her, they would have to pay a hefty price and be accompanied by a strong guard to prevent any accidents!
