    Chapter 136 Shuoyang Base

    More than a month later, it was January of the second year of the apocalypse. In the blink of an eye, the zombie virus had been raging for more than half a year, and it would be a full year in another three or four months.

    Half a year, neither long nor short, but for humans who have experienced viral infection, zombification crisis, and zombie invasion, these six months have been a period of great change and upheaval. It’s as if they’ve experienced all the suffering they shouldn’t have in a lifetime, and there are more hardships waiting for them…

    And most people’s lives were unexpectedly left behind in that period of riots!

    Humans still haven’t developed any effective drugs to combat the virus. The end of the world will continue, and it seems far off…

    During this past month, Gu Tangxi and the others had truly witnessed what it meant to have someone beyond someone, and a sky beyond the sky. And Xie YunChuan also had the rare experience of being escorted by someone.

    Gu Tangxi and the others were surprised. They originally thought Xie YunChuan was strong enough, but they didn’t expect that their knowledge was shallow.

    Compared to Luo WuShang, Xie YunChuan could no longer be described as strong. It could only be said that compared to Gu Tangxi and the others, Xie YunChuan was indeed much more powerful. But compared to Luo WuShang, they were not in the same league at all. Luo WuShang was the real powerhouse.

    During this time, following Luo WuShang, they could be described as gods slaying gods, and Buddhas slaying Buddhas, sweeping across the apocalypse, unstoppable.

    Luo WuShang didn’t torment Gu Tangxi and the others. He only focused on tormenting Xie YunChuan. Gu Tangxi and the others only needed to follow behind them to dig up Jīngpòs and collect supplies. It was truly the most comfortable and rewarding apocalyptic life they had ever lived.

    Luo WuShang intentionally tempered Xie YunChuan’s abilities. As long as he wasn’t dead, Luo WuShang would never save him. Even when facing zombies that he couldn’t beat at all, Luo WuShang would give him healing power every time Xie YunChuan was about to be beaten to his last breath, allowing him to keep going until he reached the limit of what Xie YunChuan’s body could withstand, and then Luo WuShang would solve it.

    In just one month, Xie YunChuan’s progress was comparable to all the progress he had made in the first half year of the apocalypse. Challenging crises, breaking through limits, stimulating potential under strong pressure, plus the constant supply of high-level zombie Jīngpòs purified from the virus, Xie YunChuan made great progress in his proficiency in using his abilities, the development of ability techniques, the improvement of ability levels, and his physical strength.

    Now all three of his abilities had been upgraded to level four, and his ice ability even had a faint trend of breaking through to level five.

    Gu Tangxi and the others, who followed behind them picking up second and third level Jīngpòs that weren’t very useful to Xie YunChuan, had also broken through a level.

    Li Shi, who was also strong, could often get one or two high-level zombies to practice with. He didn’t want the Jīngpòs he obtained himself to be offered to Luo WuShang. Li Shi once again lamented that he had finally met a good leader.

    Although Luo WuShang was focusing on cultivating Xie YunChuan, Li Shi’s strength improvement was also within his consideration. If Li Shi was stronger, Luo Shuyou’s safety would be more guaranteed. He certainly wouldn’t be stingy in giving Li Shi resources to improve.

    At this time, they had just wiped out a few high-level zombies in a city, and were walking through this city of corpses as if they were in no man’s land. Perhaps it was because of Luo WuShang’s presence, but those low-level zombies didn’t dare to approach their car.

    With Luo WuShang around, Gu Tangxi and the others had become accustomed to being so arrogant. Every time they entered a city, they openly charged straight into the high-level zombie’s lair, and then swaggered and unscrupulously collected supplies and left the city.

    The surrounding cities, both large and small, had been searched by them, and all the high-level zombie Jīngpòs had been absorbed by Xie YunChuan.

    In the car, Gu Tangxi was driving, Gu Tangyue was sitting in the passenger seat, Xie YunChuan and Xu Yuze were sitting in the second row, and Luo WuShang and Li Shi were in the last row.

    Gu Tangxi asked Xie YunChuan, “Which direction are we going next?” Although they knew that Luo WuShang had been leading the trip recently, they still conveyed their intentions through Xie YunChuan every time.

    It wasn’t that they didn’t want to or didn’t dare to. During this time, their fear of Luo WuShang had gradually turned into admiration and gratitude, but Luo WuShang’s always disdainful and all-powerful aura was too repulsive to small fries like them, so they could only rely on Xie YunChuan to communicate with him.

    Xie YunChuan turned to look at Luo WuShang. Luo WuShang’s drowsy eyes did not open, and he lazily gave a place name: “Shuoyang Base to the south.”

    Gu Tangxi was puzzled after hearing this: “Shuoyang Base?”

    That was the closest large base to them now. It was said to be one of the ten large bases established since the end of the world, and it ranked third.

    Weren’t they going to find high-level zombie Jīngpòs to upgrade Xie YunChuan to level five ice?

    The further along they went, the more energy was needed to improve their level. For someone like Xie YunChuan, who was already at the peak of level four, it was difficult to reach the threshold for breaking through the level before the energy dissipated by absorbing those level three and four zombie Jīngpòs. Therefore, they could only find higher-level zombie Jīngpòs to absorb more pure and condensed high-level energy at one time to have a chance to break through.

    Now they were going to a human base? Luo WuShang wasn’t going to attack human ability users, was he?

    Admittedly, compared to zombie Jīngpòs, the energy contained in the Jīngpòs of human ability users was purer and more friendly to humans. This was indeed another good way to upgrade. But… cannibalism was not a wise move after all.

    Xie YunChuan was equally puzzled. He also had his concerns. Was it feasible to bring a killing machine like Luo WuShang, especially a heartless zombie, into a human base?

    He didn’t care about the lives of others, but he never actively took actions that would accelerate the extinction of mankind.

    Gu Tangyue and Xu Yuze also thought of the same point in their hearts, and they all frowned slightly and fell into contemplation.

    The atmosphere was a bit solidified for a while, only Li Shi was excited and bright-eyed, wow, they were finally going to a human base, his little fresh meat, his little snacks, he was coming!

    Even though he couldn’t eat meat wantonly, he could quietly pick up two he didn’t like, especially those who touched Luo WuShang’s bad luck, to eat. As long as he didn’t make a big commotion to ruin Luo WuShang’s business, Luo WuShang wouldn’t care about him.

    He had perfectly mastered the technique of living comfortably under Luo WuShang’s hands, which was much more nourishing than under Wei Donglin’s hands.

    Everyone was just thinking about their own thoughts, but Luo WuShang seemed to be able to guess their concerns. He opened his eyes slightly, chuckled, and said meaningfully: “Who said that in human bases… there are only humans?”
