Chapter 271 Three days after the auction, representatives from each base were invited to the experimental planting area. The platform should have been bustling with people, but no one spoke at this time. Everyone's attention was focused on the new mutant wheat that was slowly maturing below. It was also the first time for Shu Xin to see the wheat ripening process with her own eyes. She was watching without blinking, afraid of missing a single second. Strangely enough, the growth of the new mutant wheat completely goes against people's stereotypes about the growth of crops. It doesn't look like it slowly grew to maturity before the end of the world. On the contrary, contrary to the norm, its growth could not be seen in the first few months. Its growth process was all condensed in one day, and the growth process was visible to the naked eye. If you think that the seeds do not need to be planted in advance because of this, you are wrong. The first three months are essential, otherwise the mutant wheat will not mature. Representatives from each base saw the new mutant wheat with their own eyes, and they were so excited that they wanted to take the seeds back to their own bases and plant them immediately. Food, water resources and weapons are the lifeline in the apocalypse. Whichever base can master one of them will have absolute say among all the bases. "When will the auction for this batch of wheat seeds start, Base Captain Yan?" "Yes, yes, can we only use crystal cores for the auction or can we use other things as well?" "I wonder how many wheat seeds there are...?" Representatives from various bases rushed to Yan Mo and his companions, wanting to get more relevant information. Just now, Shu Xin went to the front of the stands in order to see the growth process of wheat more clearly. When she turned around, she saw that Yan Mo and others who stayed there were surrounded and drowned by representatives from various bases in the blink of an eye, and they were unable to break free for a while. Shu Xin silently swallowed the words in her throat, quietly took out a camera from the space, and recorded their slightly embarrassed appearance at the moment. She took several close-up photos of their faces, and she was determined to laugh at them when she got back. "The information about the new mutant wheat and the specific details of the auction will be explained to everyone at the afternoon meeting." Butler 001 appeared in time and stopped the person who was still eager to catch up. Everyone had no choice but to leave unwillingly, and began to contact their own base in a hurry to find a way to gather more crystal cores or rare items to increase their base's confidence in the auction. You have to know that not all bases believe that they have seeds when they receive the news, and they are not fully prepared. The afternoon meeting mainly required introducing the characteristics of the new mutant wheat and what could be used to participate in the auction to the representatives of each base. Bu Yuanzhou discovered that the new mutant wheat seeds had a very obvious flaw. Its planting capacity lasts only three or four times. This means that after planting and harvesting three or four times, the seeds lose their function as seeds and new seeds have to be purchased. Therefore, other bases must maintain good relations with the Dawn Base on the surface, even in order to successfully purchase seeds in the future. In addition, it is stipulated that in addition to crystal cores that can be used for bidding, various materials and rare metals can be used for deduction. Knowing that many bases do not have so many crystal cores and other things, we allow them to bid first and then deliver the things. For the sake of the future, each base dared not not send things over. For fairness reasons, the base that wins the seeds in each auction does not need to participate in subsequent auctions, but only needs to purchase on demand at the given price. This can prevent one base from monopolizing the market, and also save the bases from having to worry about unnecessary disputes arising from bidding at high prices every time. Many bases breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. At least in this way they would always get the mutant wheat seeds, it was just a matter of time. There is also a gap between large bases. For example, the B City Base, which was completely established and managed by the official government and backed by the army, has a completely different foundation from other bases. The C City bases represented by Xiao Lou and Ye Yu'an are also different. These two people are the chosen ones of God, so they will definitely have no shortage of good things. A total of ten bases participated in the auction. The Dawn Base provided 500 kilograms of new mutant wheat seeds, divided into five weights of 150, 120, 100, 80, and 50 kilograms. The auction was conducted in a blind auction format. The representatives of each base wrote the price offered by their base on their respective price boards, which were collected one by one by Butler 001. Finally, the bids from each base were sorted and the corresponding kilograms of wheat seeds were bid in order from high to low. The whole process is open and transparent, the prices offered by the top five bases will be displayed on the spot, there is absolutely no shady dealings! Representatives from all bases had no objection to this and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The people who knew about the C City Base before knew the person in charge of the Dawn Base, and were worried that the C City Base would be favored in the auction. It seems that they were worrying too much. Tomorrow's auction will be a matter of personal ability. They originally wanted to try to get close to Yan Mo and Bu Xiangwen, but unfortunately, each of them was more slippery than the other, and they couldn't get any useful information or any useful promises. Those people were looking for ways everywhere, and even came to Jian Yangping. What's outrageous is that no one thought of looking for Shuxin. Even though Yan Mo and the others had clearly stated that Shu Xin was the one who truly controlled the Dawn Base, the representatives from each base agreed on the surface but actually turned a deaf ear to them and not many people really took it to heart. In their hearts, they subconsciously believe that she relies on men and that Yan Mo is the real person in charge of the base. Only Xiao Lou and Ye Yu'an knew that what Yan Mo said was very likely true. Shuxin didn't care what they thought. In comparison, she would rather care about what she would eat in the evening. Yan Mo and her purpose was to confuse the sight of other bases, and it seems to be working well so far, at least for several large bases that have arrived. Except for Xiao Lou and Ye Yu'an, representatives from other bases did not believe that she was the real owner of the Dawn Base. "Honey, how about we make a bet?" After dinner, Shu Xin lazily nestled in Yan Mo's arms. "What are you betting on?" Yan Mo held the book in one hand and played with her soft hair with the other. "Let's bet on which bases will make it to the top five tomorrow!" Shu Xin sat up with an excited look on his face. Yan Mo was happy to play with his silly wife: "Okay!" "Hehe, let me speak first! I'll speak first!" Shu Xin smiled and spoke first: "I bet on City C, City B, City X, City Q and the Northwest Base. You can't bet the same as me!" "Xinbao is so domineering," Yan Mo smiled: "Then I will choose City B, City C, City M, City Q and the Northwest Base." Shu Xin: "Okay!" She got a lot of inside information from the butler 001, she can definitely win! "If I win, you have to abstain from sex for a week!" Shu Xin stated the request she had thought of in advance. Yan Mo did not object and a meaningful smile appeared on his face: "Okay, if I win, for the next week nights... you all have to listen to me." Looking at her husband's smile, Shu Xin felt a little uneasy. Thinking of the news she got from Butler 001, her confidence suddenly increased and she nodded in agreement. She would definitely win! Yan Mo: It seems that tomorrow night I can get Xinbao to cooperate with the gesture that she had refused to agree to before...

Chapter 272 Allies On the second day of the auction, representatives from each base arrived at the auction site on time. They were all in high spirits and tried their best to get the first batch of seeds first. Although according to yesterday's rules, their base will have the opportunity to take pictures of the new wheat seeds sooner or later, the sooner they take pictures of the seeds, the more beneficial it will be for their base. The auction officially began and Shu Xin sat in the front, observing the expressions of the representatives of several bases he favored, confirming that they were very confident and more confident about the bet made last night. While the representatives from each base were discussing the amounts to be filled in and no one was paying attention, Shu Xin gave Yan Mo a determined look. Yan Mo raised his eyebrows without comment. He sighed in his heart: My wife is so adorable when she's proud of herself, just like the sun... Shuxin was completely unaware of the danger and waited for the auction result with peace of mind. Because it was not a traditional bidding auction, the results came out very quickly. As expected, four bases, namely City B, City C, City Q and Northwest Base, successfully stood out. The last successful base was City M, which Yan Mo chose, rather than City X, which Shu Xin had bet on. The unexpected result surprised Shuxin a little. Her eyes widened and she didn't understand what went wrong. Clearly, from what Butler 001 told her privately, City X was more adequately prepared, right? The representatives of the X City Base were no less surprised than Shu Xin. They were very confident in their ability to provide crystal cores and supplies, but they did not expect that a dark horse would emerge in the end. The representatives of the X City base glared at the representatives of the M City base sitting opposite them with dark faces. If looks could kill, the representatives of the M City base would have been tortured to death thousands of times already. Too bad looks can't kill. Being able to hold a high position in a large base, one must be extremely thick-skinned. The glares from the opposite side cannot cause any harm to them, so they just ignore them. The bet was lost! ! ! Shu Xin thought about the bet she agreed to last night and the next week... she suddenly felt a black screen in front of her eyes and her waist began to ache slightly! no! She can't just sit there and wait for death! We have to think of a way! Yan Mo knew her too well. He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Xinbao, you don't want to go back on your word, do you?" Shu Xin felt guilty after being exposed. Of course she couldn't admit that she wanted to go back on her word, so she could only say stubbornly, "Of course not!" Yan Mo said dimly, "That's good~" Shu Xin forced herself to control the expression on her face, but she was actually already in tears. Butler 001: "The auction results are out. If the bases have no questions, you can send someone to hand in the crystal cores and get the seeds with me." The X City base that missed the first seed auction could no longer sit still: "Base Director Yan, I wonder when the next seed auction will be held?" Yan Mo: "The next auction will be in three months. The number of bidders will increase to ten, and the chances will be greater. The number of participating bases will also increase." The other bases that did not win the bid breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. Three months was enough time for them to make adequate preparations. They already had this experience once and are confident that they will be able to get the seeds next time! Xiao Lou suddenly said, "I wonder if we need to re-auction if the Dawn Base develops new crops in the future? Or will subsequent new crops be produced in other ways?" As soon as Xiao Lou asked the question, the noisy conference room instantly became quiet. The representatives of other bases are not fools either. If the Dawn Base can develop the first crop, it may be able to develop the second, third, and fourth types... If every new seed needs to be auctioned for the first time in the future, I am afraid that no matter how much foundation they have, they will not be able to afford it. Yan Mo curled his lips and smiled: "If the Dawn Base develops new seeds in the future, the bases that successfully bid for the seeds at the auction only need to purchase them according to the price we offer." The representatives of each base put their hearts back in their stomachs. What a joke, don't they know what human nature is like? They were taking this opportunity to establish long-term cooperative relationships with various major bases, so naturally they would not do anything to offend anyone. A large number of ants can kill an elephant. Even if the Dawn Base possesses strength beyond the current technological level, it cannot withstand the combined attack of other bases. The safest way is to establish long-term cooperative relations with other bases. As for the possibility that other bases might develop the same seeds based on the seeds they sell and compete with them, they are not afraid at all. If more people work together on research, humanity will have more hope of survival. Besides, maybe they can attract back a few talented scientific researchers with the seeds they sold this time. There is currently only one researcher, Bu Yuanzhou, in the base. No matter how smart he is, he alone cannot do the work of five people. The base that received the seeds was worried that the night would be too long and there would be more trouble, so they took the seeds, said goodbye hurriedly and returned immediately. Their base had already sent people to pick them up. Xiao Lou's team and the people from the two bases in City B were not in a hurry to leave. They had only accomplished half of their purpose of coming to the Dawn Base this time. The other half was to examine the comprehensive strength of the Dawn Base and the character of the base leaders to see if they could become long-term partners. It is necessary to find reliable allies in the end times. As zombies continue to evolve, the number of high-level zombies increases, and the number of zombie tides increases accordingly. In the past year, the number of small bases breached by the zombie tide has gradually increased, and even medium-sized bases have been breached by the zombie tide. Although no large bases have been breached by the zombie tide yet, if the current trend continues, that day will come sooner or later. There is no regular pattern to the appearance of zombie tides, and no one can guarantee that their base will not be attacked by a zombie tide one day in the future. If you can have a strong ally who can lend a helping hand when the base is hit by a large or super-large zombie wave, then the base will have a greater chance of successfully resisting the zombie wave. "We are already aware of what you have raised. I wonder if you can make decisions for your own base and achieve friendly cooperation between bases?" Yan Mo tapped the table lightly with his right index finger, his eyes deep. Xiao Lou said confidently: "Yes!" Jiang Mao, the representative of City B, nodded affirmatively: "Of course, this is a joint decision made by our top management." Xiao Lou and Ye Yu'an currently control most of the power in City C and are fully capable of representing City C. The representatives of City B received this order before they came. "This is not a trivial matter. We need to go back and discuss it. We will give you a reply in this conference room at 10 am tomorrow."

Chapter 273 "Fulfilling a Wish" Upgrading and looking for allies requires caution. Yan Mo did not agree immediately, which made Xiao Lou and Jiang Mao feel more at ease. If Yan Mo agreed without hesitation, they would need to worry about whether they had been tricked into falling into a trap that had been prepared by others. The combined strength of the two bases in City C and City B is definitely among the top five among all the known bases. They are very good choices for the Dawn Base that is looking for allies. If you say you need to discuss something, you naturally need to act as if you are discussing it. Shuxin and her friends stayed in the conference room that afternoon and did not leave until the evening. The cooperation agreement with other bases had been drafted long before they came. It was only necessary to slightly adjust a few clauses in the agreement based on the situations of the two bases, City C and City B, which had the intention of cooperation. Of course, the terms of the cooperation agreement were not decided by just one base. It took the three bases a week of discussion and negotiation to finalize them. After the people from City B and City C left, Dawn Base once again returned to its usual busyness and tranquility. Shu Xinka's fourth-level supernatural power was successfully broken through to the fifth level with the accumulation of countless attributeless zombie crystal cores, crossing the watershed that trapped 80% of supernatural people for their entire lives. Only by breaking through the fifth level can a psychic have the possibility of continuing to develop upward. However, Shu Xin, who had successfully upgraded his ability level, was now confused. The previous times when her superpowers were upgraded, she had simply added an extra superpower that could be used, and she originally thought that this time would be the same. Unexpectedly, the supernatural power did not increase, but the "wish fulfillment" itself changed. "Fulfilling a Wish" was originally the medium for releasing her supernatural powers. It had no other use except for looking a lot better and having a bit of fairy spirit. After upgrading, "Wish Fulfillment" can maintain its form without consuming energy when not using its power, and can change into any shape as she wishes. "Doesn't that mean I have a weapon that can switch shapes at will? And I can catch the enemy off guard at the critical moment!" After figuring it out, the light in Shuxin's eyes became brighter and brighter. She has more cards up her sleeve! Shuxin shared the good news with Yanmo as soon as possible. "Xinbao, you're great! Xinbao, you've worked hard on the upgrade. I'll make a big meal to reward you tonight." After receiving Xinbao's message, Yan Mo immediately put down what he was doing and rushed home. He hasn't seen anyone for more than a month since Xinbao went into seclusion to upgrade his skills. He is almost homesick and can't wait to be with his wife! "Suiyuan" has developed new abilities. In order to help Xinbao familiarize herself with and use them more quickly, Yan Mo developed a training plan for her based on the flexible and changeable characteristics of "Suiyuan" and Xinbao's own usage habits. Shu Xin looked at the itinerary in her hand and fell silent. Shu Xin: No, it was arranged clearly for me! ------------------------------------- As the three bases that bought the first batch of seeds gradually reported the news of successful planting, the name of the Dawn Base spread throughout the bases in the apocalypse, and even ordinary people without special powers heard of it. Shu Xin sighed deeply, covered her face with the document in her hand, and leaned back in her chair like a salted fish that had lost its dreams: "Alas~" It turns out that work is shit! (Famous quote by Nanami) Ever since the reputation of the Dawn Base spread, many powerful bases have written to inquire about the second auction. There are also many psychics and ordinary people who want to join the base, so the things that need to be dealt with have suddenly increased. Seeing Yan Mo and the others busy every day, Shu Xin, as the owner of the base, felt embarrassed to do nothing, so he took the initiative to take on part of the work to reduce the burden on others. For half a month in a row, I arrived at the office on time at 8 o'clock every day to process documents and left at 6 or 7 o'clock in the evening. Successfully made myself live a working life from 8 am to 7 pm! Shu Xin felt as if she had been drained of her energy by a goblin, and her whole body was stained with something called class smell. "Are you tired?" Yan Mo pushed the small cake he had prepared for her over to her. "A little bit." Shu Xin's eyes lit up when she saw that it was her favorite matcha ice cream cake. She immediately put down the documents in her hand and chose to indulge in the cake. How can work be worth a cupcake? Yan Mo comforted her, "Everything for the auction has been arranged almost entirely. With the rules and procedures in place, we won't have to do it ourselves. Yangping and the others can handle it themselves, and then we can take a good rest." Shu Xin nodded while eating a small cake. Previously, they selected five good seedlings from the first batch of children entering the base for training. After a few years, the five people have been able to handle many things independently. If they need to go out for something, the five of them plus Butler 001 are fully capable of managing the base in an orderly manner. Happy afternoon tea time is always short. After enjoying the cake, I looked at the pile of documents in front of me and continued to work...

Chapter 274 Three years of peaceful development passed in a flash. The Dawn Base has become one of the best super bases in the apocalypse. Whether in terms of scale or combat effectiveness, it is definitely one of the few bases among all the bases. In addition to the Dawn Base, the C City Base and the Lone Wolf Base in the south also rose rapidly, surpassing the B City official base to become top super bases. The strength of Shu Xin and Yan Mo is improving day by day. In three years, Yan Mo's ability level was upgraded to advanced eighth level, Shu Xin's level was upgraded to intermediate sixth level, Bu Xiangwen and Mu Qimai's levels were both upgraded to advanced seventh level. Because Bu Yuanzhou focused most of his energy on the laboratory, his strength improvement was the slowest among them, and he was at the intermediate sixth level like Shu Xin. After the apocalypse, medicines are as scarce as food. Bu Yuanzhou's time in the laboratory was not wasted. In three years, he and several new researchers who had joined the base successively cultivated three kinds of mutated crops that could adapt to the soil of the apocalypse, as well as an anti-inflammatory and hemostatic drug. This medicine is not only effective for ordinary wounds, but also for wounds caused by zombies. It is inevitable that psychics will be injured when fighting zombies. Although psychics will not be infected by the zombie virus and become zombies again, the wounds caused by zombies are difficult to stop bleeding and heal. Many psychics die from wound infection or excessive blood loss due to lack of medicine and lack of time for treatment. As soon as the hemostatic drug was launched on the market, it was snapped up by major bases and was once in short supply. Over the years, Jian Yangping's reputation has continued to improve as his strength has grown. He is very talented in weapon forging, and Shu Xin "inadvertently" gives him some reminders and inspirations from time to time. The weapons he makes now have quite a reputation in various bases, and many people come here to get a weapon that he has made or modified himself. Many people came to ask for weapons, but not everyone could get the weapons forged by Jian Yangping himself. There are two ways to obtain weapons forged by Jian Yangping himself. One way is to obtain it through bidding at the auction held every six months at the Dawn Base Transit Station. The other is to meet the requirements issued by Jian Yangping from time to time. As long as the requirements are met, you will have the opportunity to get a weapon tailor-made for you by Jian Yangping. If someone wants a customized weapon but does not meet the requirements, they can also use the "money" ability. As long as you offer a price that Jian Yangping agrees to, you can also get customized weapons. Of course, the people at the Dawn Base don't need to obtain it through these methods. At the reward redemption counter in their mission hall, they can redeem a weapon made by Jian Yangping with the points earned from completing missions. Although the points required are a bit higher, no one minds. After all, their wealth is there, and the weapons they produce are not defective products. There is a tangible way to obtain them, so what else are they dissatisfied with? Humans are indeed the most adaptable race. In just a few years after the end of the world, all major bases have already had a new set of operating rules and systems, and everything is moving in a good direction. Since the failure of the last plan, Wang Zhengping has been hiding in sparsely populated areas and secretly accumulating strength for the past three years. The power of Ye Yu'an, Xiao Lou and Shu Xin attracted him. He had a hunch that if he could absorb their crystal cores, he would become the ruler of this world. Feeling the further strength in his body, Wang Zhengping thought it was time to show up and bring some surprises and shocks to the apocalypse that had been peaceful for a long time. This time he will definitely get what he wants!

Chapter 275 "Iron Butt" Can Do It "Hey, have you heard? There's news from the D City base in the central part of the country that they've developed a potion that can evolve superpowers!" "Is it true?!" "Of course it's true! I heard from a superpower user who just returned from a mission there. The D City base has also invited other bases to participate in a public event for the evolution of superpowers potion in two months!" " Don't even think about it. We ordinary people definitely don't have much of a chance to get it. We might as well think of something practical..." Shu Xin, who usually mingled with the crowd and ate melons, heard their conversation clearly. Shu Xin, feeling that she had gotten some big news, strolled back to the office contentedly. Unexpectedly, everyone was in Yan Mo's office, so she casually told him the news she had just heard. "It just so happens that we have just received an invitation letter from the base in City D, which is about the evolutionary superpower potion." Yan Mo reached out and pulled Shu Xin to sit next to him. "Hmm? Why do I feel like something is a little off?" Shu Xin picked up the cup in front of Yan Mo and took a big sip of water, then looked at Yan Mo in confusion. "We just received a notice, and the news has already spread among ordinary people. Doesn't that mean that ordinary people get the news much earlier than us?" " Xinbao is great. He found the problem right away." Yan Mo naturally took the empty cup and added the tea that Shuxin liked to drink into it. Bu Yuanzhou, who was still wearing a white coat, rubbed his tired brows: "Normally speaking, this kind of news is usually received by the top leaders of each base first, and then spread out after the news is confirmed. This time it's the other way around." "The D City base is usually low-key and well-behaved, but I didn't expect that it would make such a big news once it made a statement. If the news is true, the early leak of the news can only be attributed to poor management. If the news is false, there must be something fishy going on." "They have set up the stage, we have to go and see what kind of show is going to be performed, right?" Shu Xin understood that this matter was not simple after listening to a few words, and said excitedly. No one has done anything for a long time! "Xinbao is right. According to the information sent back, it's not only our base that has received the news. Other large bases have also received the message. If we fail to achieve our goal by making such a big fuss, the other party will definitely not give up." A dark light flashed in Yan Mo's black eyes. "Everyone please hand over your work and pack up the things you need to take. We will set off for the H City Base at breakfast three days later." "Okay!" Knowing that they were going to the Hongmen Banquet, Shu Xin and the others were not arrogant. In addition to the regular members of their team, they also brought two powerful teams with special abilities to accompany them. It is better to be safe than sorry. Remember, even a lion will try its best to fight a rabbit, but who knows if others are pretending to be pigs to eat tigers? ------------------------------------- Two months later, looking at the road sign ahead with the words "D City Base" written on it, Shu Xin felt that her butt, which had been numb from sitting in the car, had finally been saved. The road conditions in the last days are really terrible. Even if you put several layers of cushions under your butt, you cannot escape the fate of being torn apart. It's just a matter of sooner or later. If you make such long journeys a few more times, you will definitely develop a "strong butt". The process of entering the D City base was very smooth. Until they settled into the room assigned to them, Shu Xin did not notice anything wrong. "Have you found anything wrong?" Meng Hezhi, one of the two superpower teams that came with them, moved his lips a few times and said only one sentence: "Nothing has been found in the base for the time being." "It's okay, just say it if you have something to say." Shu Xin looked at him. "After entering City D, I didn't see any zombies. It always felt a little strange." Meng Hezhi hesitated and expressed his suspicions. Shu Xin was stunned when she heard this, but Yan Mo beside her showed a look of appreciation. "Indeed, there isn't a single one. The entire perimeter of the D City base is cleaner than after a special cleanup." Yan Mo spoke up to confirm his words. "Let's leave it at that for today. Go back and have a good rest. You've been busy on the road for some time. Even if there is some conspiracy in City D, it will not be implemented until everyone is here. We will discuss the specific details tomorrow." Seeing that everyone looked obviously tired, Yan Mo very considerately asked everyone to go back and rest first. After everyone left, Shu Xin, who had been sitting upright on the sofa, suddenly relaxed like a pancake without any bones. "So tired~" "It looks like Xinbao doesn't have the strength to take a bath by himself, so I'll do it for Xinbao." Yan Mo picked up the person and walked towards the bathroom, ignoring the person's struggle. Of course, Yan Mo did nothing except eat some meat scraps, and fell asleep with his sweet and soft wife in his arms...

Chapter 276: After staying in the D City base for almost a week on the eve of the decisive battle, representatives from other bases have arrived one after another, and the evolutionary ability potion that has been hyped for a long time will also appear today. The team that came from City C base this time was still led by Xiao Lou and Ye Yu'an, and the team that came from City B base was also the old acquaintance Jiang Mao. Ever since the three bases signed an alliance agreement three years ago, the ties between them have become increasingly close. "Tsk, looking at the situation, I'm afraid that all existing bases have been invited?" Bu Xiangwen leaned on the railing on the second floor, his tone full of sarcasm. "There are indeed a lot of people here, but I don't know if I can meet the director of the D city base who has never appeared before today." Shu Xin picked at her fingers in boredom. "What? Xinbao really wants to see him?" Yan Mo's eyes were dark and his tone was unclear. Shuxin paused while snapping her fingers, then immediately turned around and went over to comfort the person. After being together for so many years, she knew as soon as she heard him being jealous. If she didn't coax him quickly, her waist would definitely suffer at night! In order to save her waist and not run away from home, she is willing to be a flexible person! Of course Yan Mo knew that Xinbao would not like others, he was just a little unhappy that Xinbao focused his attention on insignificant people. "Quiet, quiet." A man stood on the stage in the middle at some point. He was wearing a white suit and a devil mask that covered half of his face. Behind him stood a row of men carrying boxes. "Welcome everyone to the D City base. Without further ado, let me introduce the evolutionary power potion to you." The man opened the box closest to him with an exaggerated movement. Five dark green potions were neatly placed inside. Seeing the dark green color that was reflective, Shu Xin felt a little nauseous. She frowned unconsciously and shifted her gaze elsewhere. "As the saying goes, 'Hearing is not as good as seeing.' I'm not going to tell you all about the effects of the evolutionary potion. I wonder if anyone here is willing to come up on stage to verify it? If it works, you can just pay the final auction price afterwards. If you can't afford it, you can only stay in City D." The place became noisy. Many people were tempted but also worried about what might go wrong during the test, so they were hesitant. Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. Five people stood on the stage, four people sat on the base on the first floor, and one person came out from the second floor. Those who can be arranged on the second floor are all large bases with strong strength. Their determination and foresight are much higher than those of the bases below. They don't need to take risks to try. If the experiments of the people below are successful, they can just pay to buy it. The five people who went up to the stage drank the superpower evolution potion. Soon, they felt that the crystal cores in their bodies had grown larger, breaking through the current level, and their bodies were filled with strength. There was even a psychic who had been stuck at the fourth level who advanced on the spot, and the people around him whispered, "He actually got stronger!" With the confirmation, the venue instantly became noisy, and many base leaders were excited. Last year, the research institute at the B city base issued a notice that the lifespan of all people with awakened superpowers will be extended. The higher the level, the longer the lifespan, and the maximum lifespan is expected to reach two hundred years. Previously, many people with special abilities were stuck at the fourth level and had no way to advance. If they obtained a bottle of this potion, wouldn't it mean that not only their special abilities could be taken to a higher level, but their lifespan could also be extended? "Now I believe that everyone believes in the authenticity of the potion. I'll give you one day to prepare. The remaining 25 potions will be auctioned at the same time tomorrow. After the auction, you can pay for the five potions you just took according to the lowest auction price." The man in the suit looked at the passion and eagerness in the eyes of the people below, and a hint of sneer flashed across his eyes. After the press conference, Shu Xin and the others, along with the people from the Xiao Lou, Jiang Mao and other three bases, gathered at Jiang Mao's current residence. Jiang Mao: "Everyone here is a smart person. The D City Base's invitation to us to participate in the "Evolution of Superpowers" potion is full of weirdness. We have already seen the gimmick of inviting us here today. I think the real purpose of the person behind the auction will be revealed tomorrow." This matter seems to be fine in general, but there are many strange things revealed in the details, which makes them have no idea about the so-called potion that can evolve superpowers. "Starting from tonight, we will no longer consume any food and water provided by the D City base." Yan Mo said. "Do you suspect that they will tamper with our food?" Jiang Mao turned his head with a little surprise. Yan Mo did not say anything. Instead, Ye Yu'an, who was sitting on the sofa on the other side, took over: "It's better to be safe than sorry. If the other party is targeting everyone who came to the press conference, then tampering with our food would be the most convenient way." "If there is any unusual movement tomorrow, we will..." After carefully discussing tomorrow's affairs, the group dispersed. At night, Shuxin lay in bed with her eyes open, looking at the ceiling above her head and leaving her mind blank. Ever since she arrived at the D City base, she always felt uneasy for unknown reasons. "Xinbao, what's wrong?" Yan Mo, who had just come out of the shower, immediately noticed that Shuxin was in an abnormal mood. Shu Xin didn't move, staring blankly at the top of her head: "I don't know why, I always have a bad feeling." "Xinbao, you have to believe me, no matter what happens, we will leave safely." Yan Mo leaned over and kissed her lips soothingly, then turned over on the bed and hugged her in his arms. Shu Xin buried her head in Yan Mo's shoulders and neck, absorbing the familiar and reassuring scent from him, and her uneasy heart settled down again. Shuxin said in a muffled voice: "Well, we will definitely be safe!"

Chapter 277 Decisive Battle (I) "One hundred thousand!" "Three hundred thousand!" "Five hundred and fifty thousand!" ... The auction was already halfway through, and the bidding among the bases that had not yet won the Evolutionary Power Potion became increasingly fierce, with each base unwilling to give up. In the same box and the same position as yesterday, Shu Xin looked at the various small and medium-sized bases competing for the bid, frowning slightly, feeling something was not right. Shu Xin: "Are they a little too excited?" Hearing this, the other people in the box turned their attention to the bottom, took a closer look, and frowned at the same time. "No way?! Did they really tamper with the food they distributed?" Bu Xiangwen's expression was indescribable. Yan Mo's sharp eyes swept around the room and he pointed at the water on the table: "Yuanzhou, look at this pot of water." Bu Yuanzhou, the only professional present, picked up the water on the table and put it to his nose and smelled it. He then reached out to pick up a drop and put it in his mouth to taste it. His expression became serious: "The water has been added with medicine that can make people excited!" After the end of the world, there are fewer and fewer drinking water sources to be found. Except for the few remaining water sources that are protected, most of the water is supplied by water-based psychics. Everyone cherishes water and will not waste it easily. The people at the D City base put drugs in the water, taking advantage of the fact that people would never waste water. Most of the water on the tables in the base had been touched, and the rest of the water was collected without being drunk. "The person behind this is investing so much money, he wants to keep us all here." Shu Xin keenly sensed the hidden meaning. "We're drugging now, and I think we'll start after the auction is over. Everyone, check your equipment again." Yan Mo turned to Shu Xin beside him and said, "Xinbao, take out some powerful weapons from the space and equip everyone. Also prepare some special weapons so that they can be taken out quickly when necessary." "Xiang Wen, go and remind Xiao Lou, Jiang Mao and the others to eat something in advance after checking their equipment to keep themselves in the best condition." After Yan Mo finished speaking, the people in the box moved at the same time, quietly and orderly. The auction downstairs was still going on in full swing. As the potions were sold one by one, the remaining bases that had not won an auction were trying their best to get one, and the stalemate on the field was getting longer and longer. The longer the auction is delayed, it is both good and bad for Shuxin and others. The good thing is that they can have more time to prepare. The bad thing is that those who are taking Chinese medicine in the venue will probably have all the medicinal properties in their bodies exerted by the end of the auction. They had no idea what the specific effects of the drugs the other party had put in the water were, and it would not be a good thing for them if the situation became too chaotic. When the man in a suit who introduced the medicine yesterday stood on the stage again, the three-hour auction finally came to an end. "This auction has come to an end. In order to thank everyone for their support and trust, our boss has specially prepared a 'special' thank-you gift for everyone. Now please enjoy our carefully prepared thank-you ceremony!" The man in the suit stopped at the most suspenseful part, lowered his head and looked at the excited people below, with an ambiguous smile on his lips. "Bang!" The door of the venue that was originally closed was heavily opened. The next second, the deafening roar of zombies was heard in my ears. The voice of the man in the suit sounded like a call from hell: "Welcome to the zombie paradise!" As his words fell, the zombies outside the door seemed to have received an order and rushed into the hall frantically. Those present were all the best from each base. Even if they were drugged, their bodies' reactions were faster than their brains. They wanted to gather superpowers in their hands to resist, but they found that they could not release the superpowers they were proficient in using no matter what. Only a few people who have not drunk the tea on the table today and those who have drunk very little can release their supernatural powers. The zombies would not give the food time to react. In just a few seconds, the front zombie had already rushed in front of him. Before he could react, the first unlucky guy could only finish half of his scream before he was gone. That half scream was like cold water dropped into boiling oil, which instantly churned up. The quick-reacting psychics took out their weapons and fought with the zombies. The potential burst out from their strong desire to survive, and for a moment, they actually stopped the zombie horde that was indistinguishable in number. As soon as the auction stopped, Shu Xin and the others quickly left the box and gathered with the people from Xiao Lou and Jiang Mao bases. People from other bases upstairs also noticed something was wrong and rushed out of the boxes to see what was going on. The auction venue used materials that were resistant to psychic power detection, so they didn't know what the situation was outside and did not rush in rashly. "Oh my god! Where do so many zombies come from?! There were none yesterday!" Seeing the astonishing number of zombies downstairs, Bu Xiangwen spoke with undisguised shock in his tone. If such an astonishing number of zombies had appeared nearby a few days ago, someone would have definitely noticed something. But no, until they entered the auction house this morning, they had not found any trace of zombies in the city. Everything seemed so strange that it made people feel creepy. The current situation did not allow them to think too much. The most important thing was how to leave alive. "The people downstairs can't hold us back for long. Let's go! Let's go to the rooftop!" Yan Mo quickly recalled the layout of the auction venue that he had seen before, and led his men back. The people from the three bases were silent, turned around and followed Yan Mo, and everyone felt extremely heavy. They are not naive. Just from the number of zombies revealed now, it is not difficult to see that the entire city D has fallen. Except for here, there are no other living people in the entire base. There is a ninety-nine percent chance that their end will be death. However, even if there is only a one percent chance of survival, they will try their best to fight for that slight chance!

Chapter 278 Decisive Battle (Part 2) Standing on the rooftop, the view became wider, and everyone could not help but gasp when they saw the current situation in City D. The situation was more serious than they had imagined. There was no living person in the entire city of D. What was scary was not the complete fall of the D City base. They already knew the number of zombies they had seen before. What was scary was that from the traces left outside, they could not see any signs that other people in the base were resisting the zombies. There was no trace of any supernatural power left, which was very abnormal. You have to know that no one will just sit there and wait to die, not ordinary people, and certainly not people with special powers. But now is not the time to worry about these things. The most important thing is how to leave City D alive. "What the hell! Where did all these zombies come from?!" "Can we get out of here alive?!" Some of the quick-witted people in the auction house followed them to the rooftop, and the scene before them made them unable to control themselves and exclaimed in surprise. Their reaction was quite quick, and the rooftop had not yet been occupied by the zombie army, but there were already high-level zombies commanding low-level zombies to climb up by stepping on their companions. "What are you standing there for? Are you waiting to die?!" While the people who followed behind were stunned, Shu Xin and his team had already used heavy weapons to quickly clear a path through the swarm of zombies. The modified armored vehicles instantly appeared in the open space. The people from the three bases quickly got into the vehicles as originally agreed. Except for the person driving the car, everyone else violently cleared out the low-level zombies that tried to surround them as quickly as possible. The person driving the car drove out of the city at the fastest speed. The people who followed him to the rooftop followed suit, gritting their teeth and following him in the hope of gaining a chance of survival. Although they were a little panicked at first, they were elites trained by major bases after all. After losing some manpower, they successfully caught up with the team in front. Standing on a high place, Wang Zhengping calmly watched everything that happened in the D City base. When he saw the "prey" he had targeted rushing out of the auction venue, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up into a smile with interest: "This is interesting! Next, let me see if you are worthy of my personal effort." "Roar!" Wang Zhengping let out a dull roar from his throat, and the zombies above level four scattered in various places in the D City base quickly ran in one direction. Hearing the zombie's growl coming from afar, Shu Xin instantly turned her head and looked towards the source of the sound. This sound... Obviously, all the zombies make similar sounds, but her intuition tells her that this sound is exactly the same as the sound that summoned the zombies that captured her. Yan Mo always paid some attention to Shu Xin: "Xinbao?" Shu Xin calmed herself down and continued to kill the zombies: "I heard that voice once before, when I was captured. My intuition tells me that 'it' is not simple." The people in the car heard her words clearly, and a guess emerged in their minds... The Zombie King! After seeing the high-level zombies surrounding them from all directions, most of his guesses were confirmed. Some zombies with special powers are already attacking them. "Get out of the car!" Yan Mo said decisively. If they still stay in the car to deal with high-level zombies, they will definitely be courting death! At this time, the place where they stopped was not far from the gate of the D City base. Shu Xin didn't have time to put the car back into the space before it was blown to pieces by the subsequent supernatural power. The siege of high-level zombies caused the scene to become chaotic, with bullets and superpowers flying everywhere. Not only do you have to pay attention to attacks from zombies, but you also have to be careful not to be accidentally injured by your companions. Shu Xin didn't bother to hide the difference in her abilities at this moment. She raised her hand and used "Wish Fulfillment" to add a buff to her people. The four of Dabai and the others who were in the space were also released to help them block the zombies' sneak attacks. It is naturally impossible for Shu Xin and his companions to continue fighting a war of attrition with the zombie horde in the same place. Even if they are superpowers with physical strength two or three times stronger than that of ordinary people, they cannot defeat the zombies who have no sense of pain and are tireless. Such a huge group of zombies can be killed even if they are dragged out in a round-the-clock battle. Not to mention the high-level zombies. The group fought as they walked, and gradually moved to the open space in front of the gate of City D. Without buildings to serve as cover, the role that ordinary zombies could play became even smaller. It even becomes a hindrance to high-level zombies. The attacks of high-level zombies are often blocked by low-level zombies who cannot control their desire for food and attack them. "Ho--Roar--!" The low-level zombies received the command and retreated like a tide. "Hu——Hu——" The fatigue caused by physical exhaustion and high mental concentration made everyone's breathing heavy. After the previous fight, there were only three eighth-level zombies, five seventh-level zombies, and dozens of fifth- and sixth-level zombies left. Of the eighteen people at the Dawn Base, three were killed, of the nineteen people at the C City Base, four were killed, of the twenty-five people at the B City Base, six were killed, one had a broken arm, and the rest had more or less injuries. There are now only five other psychics left who followed them out, and their injuries are much more serious than theirs. Yan Mo: "One level eight zombie in each base! As for the rest of the zombies, each person can pick one within his ability!" Everyone had no objection to what he said. They looked at each other and quickly attacked the zombies they had chosen! Shu Xin cooperated with Yan Mo to fight against an eighth-level spirit zombie, Xiao Lou and Ye Yu'an teamed up to stop an eighth-level ice zombie, and Jiang Mao and a seventh-level psychic from his own base blocked the last eighth-level fire zombie. The rest of the people also chose their own opponents. The tacit understanding developed from fighting side by side for a long time is a powerful weapon for winning on the battlefield. The tacit cooperation between each other allows them to successfully resist zombies of higher levels than themselves. "Boom!" "Bang—Puff!" "Roar—ho—ho—!" Various supernatural sounds mixed with the roars of zombies resounded throughout the open space. Cracks and potholes continued to appear on the solid walls and ground of City D. The battle did not remain deadlocked for long. With the tacit cooperation of everyone, all the high-level zombies were killed in just two hours. "Huh—it's finally over!" "Hahaha, we escaped successfully!" "Wow, I'm still alive! I'm still alive!" Some people collapsed directly on the ground, while others cried and laughed. Unlike the others who were happy and relaxed after surviving the disaster, Shu Xin, Yan Mo, Xiao Lou, Ye Yu'an and the others did not look relaxed at all. Instead, they became more tense and rushed to recover their consumed supernatural powers. "Don't be happy yet, something is wrong!" "What...what..." means... Before a psychic sitting on the ground could finish his words, a hand suddenly appeared from behind and pulled out his heart. "Hmm~ What a wonderful taste~" a strange voice sounded.

Chapter 279 Decisive Battle (Part 3) "Hmm~ What a wonderful smell~ Really intoxicating!" A strange figure appeared behind the psychic at some point, holding the still slightly trembling heart under his nose and sniffing it with his eyes closed, his face full of intoxication. "!!!" This "person" appeared so quietly that no one noticed it in advance. "I guess everyone is curious about my identity now. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Wang Zhengping. This is my name as a human. Now I prefer people to call me by my new name, the Zombie King!" Wang Zhengping crushed the bloody heart in his hand, and the all-white eyeballs unique to zombies let everyone know its true identity. A layer of cold sweat broke out on everyone's back unconsciously. Zombie King! Someone once speculated that there would be a zombie king in the apocalypse who was more powerful than all the zombies, but no one had ever encountered one for many years, and gradually this matter was ignored by people. I didn't expect to meet them today! "You have arranged everything in City D in advance, right?" Xiao Lou stared at Wang Zhengping who was talking eloquently. He did not take action right away, but gave the others a subtle look. "Of course!" "The base commander in City D is a complete idiot. I only used a little insignificant trick and he easily believed me and gave me the opportunity to drip my blood into the reservoir in City D. After consuming my blood, both ordinary people and people with special powers will have the zombie virus hidden in their bodies. As long as I want, I can stimulate the zombie virus in their bodies at any time and turn them all into zombies for my use!" "Everyone in City D should feel honored. It is their honor to be chosen by me as the stepping stone for me to build a 'new world'." Wang Zhengping was very willing to share his perfect plan with the prey who were about to die at his hands. The struggle, fear, terror and other negative emotions that the prey experiences before death will make him extremely excited. So even if he saw the little movements between them, he pretended not to see them. Who cares about an ant's death struggle? While he was talking and showing off all his plans, everyone was working hard to recover the energy they had consumed. Yan Mo, Xiao Lou and Ye Yu'an are the strongest among the group, and also the ones with the highest level of psychics in the current human survivor base. They can vaguely feel that the zombie king opposite is much stronger than them, and should be at the ninth level. If they encountered the Zombie King under normal circumstances, the three of them working together would have a 70% chance of killing him, if not 100%. But the current situation is obviously not comparable to usual times. Having just experienced a great battle, even if they took the time to recover their consumed superpowers, they could only recover about 30% to 40%. The possibility of winning against the Zombie King was very slim. It is impossible to surrender, so I can only fight to the death. "Okay, you've had almost enough time to recover. Let me test how powerful you, the strongest psychics, are!" Wang Zhengping shook the blood off his hands and said casually, "Don't let me down!" As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zhengping ran straight to the psychic closest to him. The fifth-level psychic didn't even have the ability to resist and was killed by him in one move. "Your opponent is us!" Yan Mo, Xiao Lou and Ye Yu'an looked at each other and rushed forward to block Wang Zhengping's attack. Shu Xin used "Wish Fulfillment" to enhance the three of them and help them fight against the Zombie King. Xiao Lou and Ye Yu'an, who felt Shu Xin's special ability for the first time, paused for a moment, a trace of astonishment flashed in their eyes, but they immediately reacted the next second and concentrated on dealing with Wang Zhengping. "Bang!" While Yan Mo ran forward, he stomped his left foot on the collapsed building next to him, used the force to jump, and kicked Wang Zhengping's head hard with his right leg. Wang Zhengping raised his arms to block his attack. When Wang Zhengping reached for the leg in front of him, Yan Mo quickly retreated, followed by the sudden appearance of Xiao Lou and Ye Yu'an. The two men worked in perfect harmony, one punching the other's head and the other kicking the other's abdomen. Wang Zhengping was unable to dodge and took several blows head-on, forcing him to take several steps back before he could steady himself. The corners of his mouth curled up wildly, but because he had become a zombie, his facial expression was very stiff, making him look very distorted: "Great! Great! You really didn't let me down!" Everyone only felt a black shadow passing by in front of their eyes, and the next second Xiao Lou seemed to be hit hard and flew out, crashing into the ruins in the distance, raising a large amount of dust, making it impossible to see the situation inside. Wang Zhengping's attack came in an instant. Ye Yu'an and Yan Mo had no time to check on Xiao Lou's situation and concentrated on dealing with Wang Zhengping's attack. The movements and reactions of several people were extremely fast, as quick as lightning. Afterimages flashed one after another, and only the whirring sound of breaking through the air could be heard continuously. On the other side, Shu Xin commanded Xiaobai to fly her to the side of the ruins, "Captain Xiao, are you okay?" "Cough cough, it's okay, I won't die!" Xiao Lou struggled to stand up from the ruins, coughed out the blood clot in his chest, and raised his hand to wipe the blood that flowed from his lips. "Let me treat you first." Seeing that the man could still stand up, he felt relieved and waved the "Suiyuan" in his hand to quickly heal the internal injuries in his body. "I feel much better, thank you!" Xiao Lou nodded to Shu Xin to express his gratitude. The blue-purple supernatural power wrapped around his limbs, and he rushed towards the Zombie King like a flash of lightning. Xiaobai brought Shuxin back to Bu Xiangwen and the others. Looking at her pale lips, Bu Xiangwen asked worriedly, "Sister-in-law, are you okay?" "It's okay. It's just that my supernatural power has been consumed a lot. I'll absorb a few crystal cores to recover first. Maybe you need me later." Shuxin shook her head weakly, took out the crystal core from the space and began to absorb it to hurry up and recover her supernatural power. In the battle between the eighth and ninth levels, it was difficult for the rest of the people to see their movements clearly. Intervening at this time would not be helping, but disrupting. The rest of the people did not just stand there and watch, but took the time to recover their special abilities and kept an eye on the changes on the battlefield. As long as the zombie king showed the slightest flaw, they would seize the opportunity to attack together.

Chapter 280 Decisive Battle (Part 4) "Bang!" Powerful superpowers collided in mid-air, and the superpowers of both sides continued to devour each other and dissolve each other at the point of collision. The surrounding air was squeezed and made an explosion sound. Shu Xin could feel the terrifying and dangerous aura emanating from the collision of supernatural powers even from afar. At a certain moment, the supernatural powers that collided in the air exploded without warning, and the energy shock wave spread out in circles like water waves. Yan Mo quickly used his supernatural powers to condense a shield in front of him to block some of the damage caused by the energy impact. Even so, he still retreated dozens of steps and vomited blood. Xiao Lou and Ye Yu'an also reacted quickly. The three of them were now covered with wounds of varying sizes and looked extremely miserable. Shuxin is still there to help them with remote treatment from time to time, otherwise their condition would be worse than it is now. In contrast, Wang Zhengping only took ten steps back due to the energy impact. His intact clothes became tattered, and his body was covered with wounds of varying sizes. But, he is a zombie, he cannot feel pain, he does not bleed, and he is tireless. So those wounds had no effect on him at all. Only the missing right forearm made Wang Zhengping furious! "Really? My good mood is gone." Wang Zhengping looked at his broken forearm with a gloomy tone: "Let's make this a quick and easy one!" Being scratched by the prey he had targeted, he no longer had the patience to continue playing with them. He just wanted to catch the prey quickly and enjoy it. It also allowed everyone to see how terrifying the true strength of the ninth-level zombies is. At the same time as Wang Zhengping's figure appeared, there was also the body of a psychic. The fourth or fifth level psychic had no time to react and had already lost his life. "Everyone be careful!" Faced with Wang Zhengping's indiscriminate attack, Yan Mo immediately retreated back to Shu Xin. Xiao Lou and Ye Yu'an also returned to their teammates to reduce the sacrifice of their teammates. The remaining psychics were extremely nervous and wished their eyes could be split into eight. The threat of death at any time brings an oppressive feeling to people that is beyond imagination. The potential stimulated by the extremely strong sense of oppression is unpredictable. The perception seems to be magnified dozens of times, and any slight movement around can be clearly transmitted to the ears. Dong Zishi is one of them. The moment Wang Zhengping appeared behind Dong Zishi, before his brain could react, his body had already made the most real reaction, and he threw the supernatural power that had been condensed in his hands behind him without hesitation. His reaction was extremely quick, but his opponent was a ninth-level zombie king. His attack could at most slow down the speed of the Zombie King's attack, but it was completely powerless to change his impending fate. "I will fight you to the death!" Perhaps thinking that he would rather die than let the Zombie King get away with it, Dong Zishi chose to self-destruct. The crystal core in his body quickly shrank, releasing a huge amount of energy. His body could not withstand the overflow of energy, and his facial features began to bleed. Of course, Wang Zhengping would not watch him self-destruct. Even if he was at the ninth level, he would still be seriously injured if he was really hit by the energy of the self-detonation of a sixth-level high-level psychic. Once a mutant starts to self-destruct, he cannot stop. Seeing this, Yan Mo and the others all took action to cooperate, determined not to let Dong Zishi's sacrifice be in vain. "Damn it!" With Yan Mo, Xiao Lou, and Ye Yu'an present, plus the assistance of Shu Xin and other powerful psychics, Wang Zhengping was firmly confined within the damage range of the self-detonation. Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Wang Zhengping could only choose to defend head-on. The damage caused by the sixth-level advanced psychic was greater than everyone had imagined, and many of them were shocked. Their strength is similar to Dong Zishi's. Ordinary attacks cannot cause much damage to the Zombie King. They don't want to die in the hands of the Zombie King in a cowardly and unclear way. It is better for them to self-destruct like Dong Zishi, which can give their companions a chance to survive. Wang Zhengping, who was injured by the explosion, had an extremely gloomy face. He could not feel the pain, but the injuries on his body did have an impact on him, and the energy consumption in his body could not be faked. Wang Zhengping lowered his head to look at the wound on his body. His pure white eyeballs turned pure black, without a trace of light, presenting an inorganic color. "It doesn't feel good! It looks like he's getting ready to use his ultimate move." Shu Xin pursed her lips which were cracked due to lack of water, and spoke in a difficult tone. Yan Mo, who had been standing beside her, did not say anything, but just held her hand tightly that was hanging by her side. No matter how much he said, it would be useless. He would protect her with his life! A black energy vortex slowly condensed behind Wang Zhengping, with black liquid surging inside. It was sticky and evil, and it was only the size of an egg but it made people feel uncomfortable. "We can't let it condense successfully!" Yan Mo shouted in a low voice, awakening the others who were stunned, and they all tried to stop Wang Zhengping's actions. As a ninth-order zombie king, Wang Zhengping's combat power is at the ceiling. Even though he is injured and has consumed a lot of energy, he does not choose to fight head-on, so it is still easy for him to avoid the attacks of everyone. Only the attacks of Yan Mo, Xiao Lou and Ye Yu'an can hit it. Seeing that everyone's superpowers were consumed a lot, not much of it fell on the Zombie King. Instead, the black vortex behind it was getting bigger and bigger. Shu Xin tried hard to ignore the burning pain caused by excessive use of the crystal core in her body. Her face was as pale as paper. She waved "Suyuan" to lock onto Wang Zhengping and directly put a slowing buff on it. After being given the slowing buff, the number of attacks falling on Wang Zhengping increased significantly. The level gap between her and the Zombie King is obvious. In order to maintain the slowing buff, she must continue to output her supernatural powers. Even her lips have become bloodless and her face is transparent. Yan Mo saw it and became even more ruthless. Mu Qimai and Bu Xiangwen are not pushovers either. The damage they inflict on the Zombie King by combining their special abilities is no less than that of Yan Mo. The wounds on his body made Wang Zhengping furious. His hands moved faster and faster, and the zombies standing in the distance fell down in groups, becoming nutrients for him to condense the black hole behind him. As the zombie army decreased, the black hole behind Wang Zhengping grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, from the initial size of an egg to a circle with a diameter of about two meters. "Are you ready? My dear preys!" Wang Zhengping laughed crazily.

Chapter 281 The Decisive Battle (V) "Are you ready? My dear preys!" Wang Zhengping laughed crazily. The black vortex behind it began to spin rapidly, and countless black tentacles stretched out from it and swung towards everyone with bared fangs and claws. "Ah!" The mutant who was tied up by the black tentacles was sucked dry in a few breaths. The absorbed energy was fed back into the black hole behind Wang Zhengping, and the tentacles that stretched out became visibly thicker, and even grew tiny barbs on them, making their attack power stronger. The "Wish Fulfillment" in Shuxin's hand turned into a whip and waved it around her to protect her tightly. Any black tentacles that tried to get close to her were blocked outside. While Shu Xin was resisting the attacking black tentacles, she thanked Yan Mo again in her heart for his ruthless strictness towards her during training. If she had not persisted in the usual training seriously, she would not have been able to sustain it for such a long time with her original physical strength. "People who are touched by the black tentacles will have their supernatural powers sucked away, which will feed back to the tentacles and enhance their attack power. As the tides rise, we won't be able to hold on for long!" Bu Xiangwen frowned, not daring to stop using the supernatural power in his hand for a moment: "We have to think of a way quickly!" At this time, everyone had formed a circle with their backs to each other, resisting the black tentacles coming from different directions. Everyone could hear Bu Xiangwen's words clearly. "I have a way!" Xiao Lou and Ye Yu'an looked at each other. They both understood what the other meant and a relaxed smile appeared on their lips. "But the strength of just the two of us is not enough. We need the cooperation of Yan Mo and Shu Xin, and the rest of us have to do our best to hold back all the black tentacles." "Okay! No problem!" Shu Xin shook her head at Yan Mo and answered. Yan Mo looked at her with concern: "Can you still hold on?" "Don't worry! No problem!" Shu Xin nodded vigorously, "I was trained under your personal supervision, and the current situation is not my limit." "Besides, I'm not the kind of person who likes to show off. If it's not possible, I wouldn't agree." Yan Mo was sure that she really wasn't showing off, so he didn't say anything more. With him around, nothing will happen to her! The four people were ready to slip out of the team, and the others quickly filled in the places left by the four people, leaving no chance for the black tentacles to take advantage. "We two accidentally discovered a kind of ore before. It contains a flowing liquid-like energy. We studied it privately and found that the energy contained in this ore is extremely strong. A piece the size of a fist can instantly destroy a zombie group of thousands of people without leaving any trace." " After our research, we can now remotely detonate the energy in the ore." "This ore is extremely lethal to zombies, and has a restraining and offsetting effect on the zombie virus. Doesn't the Zombie King want to absorb our energy to replenish himself? Why not let him try this!" Shu Xin's eyes lit up when he heard this: What a good thing! This is a sure thing! He is indeed the lucky son of this world! Considering that Wang Zhengping, as the zombie king, still retains human thinking ability, if they suddenly throw the ore out, he will definitely not absorb it. They decided to use themselves as bait to lure the Zombie King! Xiao Lou and Ye Yu'an had discovered during the previous fight that Wang Zhengping paid close attention to them, as if something about them attracted him. Apart from the two of them, Wang Zhengping didn't pay as much attention to Shu Xin, but it was still very obvious compared to others. Even when they were fighting with Wang Zhengping before, it would take the time to pay attention to Shu Xin's life and death. So they both called out Shuxin at the same time just now. Although no one knew why Wang Zhengping was interested in the three of them, as long as all three of them came out, they would attract 90% of his attention. While they have absorbed most of Wang Zhengping's attention, Yan Mo, who has psychic powers, will interfere with him and take the opportunity to throw the ore into the black hole behind him. When Wang Zhengping feeds the energy in the ore back to himself through the black hole, their chance will come! Everything went very smoothly. When the four of them came out separately, Wang Zhengping's attack power against the others was obviously much weaker. "What? Are you four coming out here so impatient to die?" Wang Zhengping raised the corner of his mouth. If no one pays attention to its madness, the four of them will raise their hands and use a killing move. Each move was aimed at Wang Zhengping's head and heart, forcing Wang Zhengping to withdraw his black tentacles to intercept their attacks. However, he found that once any black tentacles tried to leave, they would be chopped off by the prisoners' ants. This meant that it could only use the little energy it had just recovered to deal with Shuxin and the others, and it was unable to devote too much energy to other things. In order to attract most of the firepower, Xiao Lou and Ye Yu'an, with the assistance of Shu Xin, released their supernatural powers without holding back to cover Yan Mo who was accumulating power. finally! A flaw has appeared! "Now!" The same thought flashed through the minds of the four people at the same time. Yan Mo seized Wang Zhengping's weakness and used his supernatural power to attack his head quickly, accurately and fiercely. Wang Zhengping's face instantly became stiff as his spirit was severely damaged. Yan Mo quickly threw the prepared ore into the black hole behind him and retreated without any desire to fight. After humans become zombies, their nervous systems will be completely corroded by the zombie virus. Compared with the zombie king of a higher level, their superpowers can only have one twentieth of the usual effect. Being able to disrupt Wang Zhengping for five seconds was the limit of what he could do. Fortunately, the goal was achieved! By the time Wang Zhengping reacted, the unknown mineral had been converted into energy by the black hole behind him and fed back into his body. Feeling something strange inside his body, Wang Zhengping made an angry sound and tried to expel that strange energy from his body. However, he found that it was not only useless, but it also accelerated the disappearance of the energy in his body. The black tentacles behind him were all retracted in an instant: "In that case, let's all die together!" The zombie army in the distance was visibly decreasing rapidly, and its disappearance speed was twice as fast as when the black hole was condensed before. It was obvious that Wang Zhengping was drawing energy from other zombies to replenish himself. The ever-expanding black hole behind it and the zombie army that kept disappearing in the distance let everyone know that Wang Zhengping was ready to perish together with his enemy. The black hole continued to expand, and a huge suction force emanated from it, trying to suck everything around it into the hole. Everyone held on tightly to any objects they could grab, desperately using their special powers to resist the powerful suction. "Hurry! Detonate the mineral energy in its body! I can't hold on for much longer!" With the blessing of Shuxin's buff, Yan Mo temporarily blocked the influence of the black hole's suction for Xiao Lou and Ye Yu'an, allowing the two of them to detonate safely. Xiao Lou and Ye Yu'an are not indecisive people. The most important thing now is to kill the Zombie King. It is not their style to waste time expressing gratitude. The two of them acted decisively and activated the special medium in their hands that could detonate the energy of the mineral. Wang Zhengping's expression suddenly changed as he felt the change in energy in his body. Rather than being killed by its prey, it would rather kill itself! Wang Zhengping desperately absorbed all the energy that had just been converted into his body, offsetting the loss of energy in his body, and compressed the energy in his body to the extreme at an extremely fast speed and then released it again! Xiao Lou and Ye Yu'an pushed the medium to its maximum speed, and everyone's life was in their hands. Now it has become a competition of speed! "Hahahaha! Let's be buried together!"

Chapter 282 Finale "Hahahaha! Let's be buried together!" Wang Zhengping was one step ahead. His body shattered into pieces. Black light shone through the cracked flesh. It looked ordinary, but it exuded amazing energy. "Is the Zombie King in its current state still suitable for detonation?" Shu Xin turned and looked at Ye Yu'an. "Okay!" Sweat was already dripping down Ye Yu'an's forehead, "But we still need at least one minute!" Shu Xin: "Okay! Leave it to us!" Yan Mo knew what Shu Xin was planning when she opened her mouth, and his tone was anxious and angry: "Xinbao! You..." "Don't persuade me anymore, when 'Suyuan' appeared in my hands, everything may have been destined." Shu Xin smiled with relief, looking at the partner in her hand who had been with her since her superpowers awakened, a hint of reluctance flashed in her eyes. The gift from fate has already been secretly marked with a price. After her supernatural power was upgraded last time, another way to use "Wish Fulfillment" suddenly appeared in her mind. "Wish Fulfilled" is fully activated after being upgraded to the sixth level. Without using any skills, the original form of "Wish Fulfilled" can catalyze and shatter the owner when the owner is in extreme life-threatening danger, turning into a protective shield that is immune to any attack, with a range of five meters and a duration of 90 seconds. The most important point is that once "Fulfilling the Wish" is broken, it can never be restored after being used again. When this method of use came out, Shu Xin only told Yan Mo privately, so when Shu Xin opened her mouth, Yan Mo knew that she wanted to sacrifice her own supernatural powers, and wanted to speak up to stop her. Shu Xin took back the bonus she had given to others, and "Suiyuan" appeared in her hand in its original form. Even though she only had a little supernatural power left in her body, "Suiyuan" still maintained its radiant and colorful appearance. Shu Xin threw "Suiyuan" into the air, hovering above Wang Zhengping's body which was expanding and breaking into pieces, and used the remaining supernatural power in his body to drive "Suiyuan" to shatter. "Ding——" A crisp sound was heard, similar to the sound of glass breaking, not loud, but at this moment it seemed to ring in everyone's ears. A pale white energy shield with a colorful halo instantly unfolded, completely blocking the energy of Wang Zhengping's self-destruction, without a single bit leaking out. Shu Xin raised her hand to wipe away the blood that flowed from the corner of her lips, and looked at the "Suiyuan" that had turned into a protective shield, thinking: Her ability has been different from others from the beginning, maybe it was for today! With the protective shield to block the energy damage caused by the Zombie King's self-explosion, the others can finally free up their hands. Yan Mo rushed to Shu Xin at the first moment, holding her waist with one hand and her shoulder with the other, and said anxiously: "Xinbao, how do you feel now? I have a few high-level crystal cores here, you should absorb them quickly..." He collected them... Halfway through his words, he suddenly remembered that his Xinbao seemed to have no superpowers now. Without superpowers, the body could not be repaired by absorbing crystal cores. "I'm fine. Look, I'm standing in front of you now, okay?" Shu Xin swallowed the blood that was rising in her throat, and smiled as she comforted the man in front of her, whose face looked even paler than hers. Yan Mo didn't believe Shu Xin's words at all. How could it be as simple as spitting out some blood to destroy his own supernatural powers? Just as he was about to use his supernatural powers to carefully examine her body, Ye Yu'an and Xiao Lou on the other side exclaimed: "It's done!" Everyone's attention immediately shifted to the protective shield, as self-destruction was irreversible. A green light suddenly appeared in the black light emanating from Wang Zhengping's body, rapidly devouring the black energy. The black energy seemed to be threatened and quickly counterattacked. The two energies refused to give in to each other, and Wang Zhengping's body was completely shattered, unable to stop the collision of the two energies. A powerful energy collision exploded inside the protective shield, and the energy impact spread to the protective shield and disappeared instantly, as if it had been absorbed. "The protective shield has a limited time limit. Everyone use your special powers to resist the remaining energy impact!" Shu Xin said loudly as she looked at the crumbling protective shield above her head. "Boom!" Three seconds later, the protective shield formed by "Fulfilling Wish" was completely shattered, and the remaining energy inside rushed out... ............ "Xinbao, come and try today's nutritious meal!" Yan Mo placed the nutritious meals in his hand one by one on the small dining table on the bed, put the chopsticks and bowls in place, and sat down opposite her. "Ah~" Looking at the bland meal in front of her, Shu Xin felt that her mouth was about to lose its taste. Why is there such a big difference between people? The person in front of her was obviously seriously injured, but it only took him half a month to recover. The others also recovered, but she has been lying in bed for almost a month! In order to recover from my injuries, I can only eat tasteless nutritious meals every day! Perhaps the only good news is that although "Wish Fulfillment" has disappeared, her supernatural powers are still there, but she cannot use them now, nor can she absorb crystal cores to heal her wounds. Looking at the spoon in front of her, Shu Xin reluctantly opened her mouth and went in with a gulp. "Okay, I've asked the medical robot. You can eat small amounts of other things in a week." Yan Mo sighed helplessly and coaxed. "Really! That's great!" Shu Xin immediately felt that her life had hope, and the bland nutritious meals didn't seem so bad anymore! Ouch, another bite. Well, nutritious meals still taste bad!
