    Chapter 101: That Unlucky Fellow

    Xie YunChuan had previously told Gu Tangxi and the others to wait for him not far outside Half-Moon City. He didn’t expect that when he went to the agreed place during the day, he didn’t see any sign of them.

    There are too many sudden events in the end of the world; he doesn’t know if something has happened to them.

    Hopefully, they haven’t died. It would be troublesome if they did. Carrying a big bag is too inconvenient, and he wouldn’t be able to carry everything he needs. It’s better to have a portable space.

    While running away, Xie YunChuan didn’t forget to pay attention to the marks left by Gu Tangxi and the others. As long as it wasn’t a route back, he would follow the marks.

    After Lu Yunzhou followed, he originally thought that Xie YunChuan wouldn’t be able to move too fast with Luo Shuyou, that burden, but he didn’t expect that he searched everywhere and couldn’t find even a shadow of Xie YunChuan and the others.

    This is really a case of dying before one’s ambition is realized. He can’t even find the person, let alone steal their tiger.

    He should be grateful that he followed them out; otherwise, he would either be buried in a pile of zombies or have his skull cracked open by now.

    But he didn’t escape either way, just a matter of dying sooner or later.

    In the evening, while Lu Yunzhou was wandering around looking for people, he encountered a zombie that was also wandering around, unable to find the direction to track after losing Xie YunChuan’s scent.

    Oh! Isn’t this a coincidence? Both sides were annoyed by searching for people. When they bumped into each other, sparks flew. They both thought the other was courting death by running into the muzzle of their guns.

    The result is predictable. When Lu Yunzhou was killed, he was still puzzled and thought:

    Was he only locked up for two or three months? Not two or three years, right? How has the outside world developed to this extent? He can be instantly KO’d by any zombie he meets?!

    Shock, disbelief, and questioning life couldn’t change his impending fate.

    His upgrade plan, grand ambitions, and revenge haven’t had time to be realized.

    Is he getting his lunch box like this? No one told him that the zombies outside are so strong now! If he had known, he wouldn’t have rushed to his death so eagerly.

    Although he probably couldn’t escape anyway, what if? What if he found a chance to survive? Regret, regret!

    He didn’t even have time to exchange two moves with the zombie, and he was slapped away with one claw as soon as he got close.

    It’s a pity that his Jīngpò didn’t make it to Xie YunChuan’s mouth and was instead taken advantage of by this zombie that appeared out of nowhere.

    It can also be regarded as preventing Xie YunChuan from committing another murder.

    “Hehe! …Hehe!” Unwillingness, resentment, incomprehension… all kinds of emotions flashed quickly, and Lu Yunzhou finally laughed foolishly twice for no reason.

    Before closing his eyes, he thought, he’s relieved that the zombies are so strong. It’s good to be strong, good to be strong! If he can’t live, no one else should think about living, hehe! It’s best if everyone dies, all die, let the world perish, let all of humanity be destroyed!

    Fortunately, this brother died early, otherwise, what would he have turned into?!

    This silly child, did he take his brain out when he was being robbed of his Jīngpò? Didn’t he think that it was his own bad luck that he met a strong enemy three steps out the door?

    It’s not like all the zombies are so strong everywhere now. He just happened to catch a good time. He clearly escaped the base, but he couldn’t avoid being picked off.

    Looking back on his life, it seems that he has been unlucky. He didn’t have a good background, didn’t study well, and didn’t make a name for himself as a soldier. At the beginning of the end of the world, he personally killed his girlfriend, and then he was almost killed by the person he rescued.

    It wasn’t easy for heaven to send him Xie YunChuan, this golden finger, this thick thigh, but he didn’t fight for it and didn’t hold on to it.

    After that, the Hope Base he thought was good happened to be a human hell that didn’t do human things, and the good comrade and good companion he thought was a treacherous and selfish fellow.

    It wasn’t easy to meet Xie YunChuan again, but he couldn’t lower himself to seize the opportunity to climb up. Instead, he ate the courage of a bear and leopard and ran to threaten him, messing things up and almost losing his life.

    After that, he was lucky enough to leave the base before the zombies invaded, and he was lucky enough to meet them in this vast world outside. He really doesn’t know whether to say he was lucky or not.

    It’s not that God is only using him alone, but he turns a blind eye to the windows God opened for him. If he were someone else, he would have become Xie YunChuan’s loyal little brother and wouldn’t have to worry about food and drink.

    To sum it up in one sentence, opportunities rained down on him, and he proudly dodged them one by one. Disasters, like clear skies and rainstorms, rarely found him once, and he took the initiative to embrace them one by one. He had a Shànxīn when he should have been ruthless, and he didn’t act like a human being when he should have. No one else is like that.

    Two days later, Xie YunChuan finally reunited with Gu Tangxi and the others as hoped.

    At this time, Gu Tangxi had already leveled up to Level 2. Yes, so much time has passed, even a blind cat should have bumped into a dead mouse, let alone that the upgrade method is not harsh for them who are constantly experiencing zombie crises.

    Xie YunChuan has read the contents of the notebook. The upgrade methods for most people are the same, not much different from what Lu Yunzhou said before. However, there is one more point mentioned in it, which is:

    If you feel that your body is full of power and already fully loaded, you should not continue to absorb Jīngpò and think about forcibly breaking through.

    Otherwise, it will be too much. If you hold on to the limit, you will have to burst the container. How can a mortal body withstand the impact of violent power.

    Fortunately, Gu Tangxi stopped absorbing Jīngpò in time when she felt her strength was full, otherwise, what would she be doing now.

    Although Cheng Xie’s letter didn’t mention it, Xie YunChuan guessed that the leader of Half-Moon City—Fan Liangchang—died because he forcibly absorbed Jīngpò, wanting to break through the shackles and upgrade.

    Moreover, Cheng Xie should have been at the scene at the time, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been the first to get Fan Liangchang’s Jīngpò. Xie YunChuan thought that Cheng Xie probably deliberately fooled Fan Liangchang into forcibly breaking through in order to verify his guess that excessive power would lead to an explosion.

    As for why Xie YunChuan had such a smooth and logical guess, of course, because Cheng Xie that old man… gave Xie YunChuan Fan Liangchang’s Jīngpò together with the notebook.

    Xie YunChuan still remembers the annoying words on the letter:

    [Little brother! Don’t say that I, the old man, only pour cold water on you. See, I can also take practical actions. I have a Level 2 Jīngpò here, so I’ll give it to you.

    It’s not a good thing, but I know that with your weak strength, you can tell at a glance that you haven’t absorbed a Level 2 Jīngpò of an ability user. That’s a thousand times better than a zombie Jīngpò. You can tell at a glance that you haven’t eaten anything good, that poor look, eww…! Cheap for you, kid.

    ……]

    Xie YunChuan has indeed absorbed what kind of Level 2 ability user’s Jīngpò this “good thing.” Not to mention Level 2, to be precise, not even Level 1. The first time he absorbed an ability user’s Jīngpò was the last time Xiaobai killed that person and he came to pick up the ready-made one.

    Xie YunChuan doesn’t have much moral sense, but he won’t take the initiative to do things like killing people and taking Jīngpò.

    There are many ways to upgrade, there is no need to do this kind of thing that harms compatriots. To be honest, the common enemy of mankind and the increasingly powerful enemy is the zombie.

    The more ability users hunt each other, the more rampant zombies will spread. Zombies are evolving and upgrading at an alarming rate, and humans really shouldn’t do this kind of self-digging grave thing anymore.

    Of course, Xie YunChuan never thought about saving the world, let alone presumptuously going to uphold justice and preventing others from doing this thing of killing and 后. He doesn’t have that kind of mood.

    If someone offends him, he doesn’t mind eating something “good” for himself.

    As long as this world exists for one day, he will take good care of Luo Shuyou for one day. If there really is a day when mankind is at the end of the road, he will also be one of the last people to live with Luo Shuyou.
