world of ruin

While running fast, only the sound of the wind remained in my ears.

In an instant, he was taken away for a long distance, Qi Ran's waist felt like it was about to break under the strong force of the zombie, his light ability was suppressed, and the light and darkness mutually restrained him, which made him afraid .

He has never encountered such a powerful zombie, and it must not be in the plot. Besides, with his speed and ability, he has at least four levels.

Surrounded by empty space, Qi Ran felt chills in his heart, took out a short knife from the space while the zombie was not paying attention, and stabbed sharply at its head.

The zombie reacted quickly and turned his head to avoid it, and at the same time threw him out violently.

"Well……"

Being thrown on the tree trunk next to him, Qi Ran endured the severe pain in his waist and stood up straight. A deep cut was made on his arm, and the cloth was immediately stained red with blood.

The zombie stared straight at his bleeding arm, and his aggressive eyes made him feel palpitations, and he quickly propped up the mask when the zombie rushed over.

The energy of the dark element easily passed through the obstruction of the mask, Qi Ran didn't expect that the mask condensed with the supernatural power of the light element was as fragile as paper to it, so he quickly avoided it sideways.

Sharp nails grazed his cheeks, and a strand of black hair fell gently.

"do not move!"

The voice was low and hoarse, with a strange tone, but it did come from the mouth of the zombie in front of him.

Qi Ran's eyes showed surprise. In his memory, there should be no intelligent zombies at this time.

And among so many people, he was the only one who captured himself. What purpose does it have?

"Light...purification!" Smelling the tempting breath, the zombie resisted the desire to devour him, and said with difficulty.

purification?That is an ability that can only be obtained by advancing to the fourth rank.

The purification ability is most effective on infected people who have just been scratched, and it is precisely because of this ability that the purification potion was later developed.However, for zombies whose virus has spread to the whole body, the virus can barely be expelled until the fifth level.

Is this zombie trying to purify itself?

Qi Ran turned his mind and decided to give it a try. Zombies who would actively ask for purification are too rare. Most intelligent zombies are still obsessed with human flesh and blood, and it is difficult to resist their bloodthirsty intentions.

only……

Qi Ran frowned and said, "I'm not high enough, I need a crystal nucleus."

Now I am not its opponent, and since it has a slight consciousness, if it can be purified, it will be beneficial to both itself and others.

Although the zombie was conscious, it still had some difficulty in thinking. It stared at Qi Ran for a while, vaguely guessing the meaning of the crystal nucleus.

"Crystal...core..."

It looked towards the direction it was running towards, with a slightly raised tone: "Crystal... core?"

Qi Ran shook his head: "I don't want the crystal nucleus of the supernatural being."

The zombie looked at him, expressionless but could see the displeasure in his eyes.It doesn't understand the difference between the crystal nucleus of the supernatural person and the crystal nucleus of the zombie. In its consciousness, they are just food.

Qi Ran stopped it resolutely, and the zombie got impatient with him for a while, and said every word, "You... say... the crystal nucleus!"

"The crystal nucleus of zombies." Qi Ran explained, "Since you are conscious, you should know that you are human."

This sentence was a bit long, and the zombie looked at him blankly, only understanding 'crystal nucleus' and 'human being'.

It didn't know what to say: "Listen to...yours."

After getting the response, Qi Ran breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that these fourth-order zombies would attack the supernatural beings.

The obedient zombie gentleman obediently went to collect crystal nuclei.

The lowest level of zombies in the woods is the second rank. Qi Ran circled around half a circle with Mr. Zombie, but he harvested more than a dozen crystal nuclei without using him at all.

After confirming that there is only one fourth-level zombie here, Qi Ran is a little relieved. If the fourth-level zombies first appear in large numbers so early, then human beings will really have no way out.

"Here!" After easily disposing of a second-order zombie, the zombie gentleman handed over the crystal core with brains in his hand to Qi Ran.

Qi Ran took it and wiped it clean, estimated the quantity, and said, "Enough."

The Zombie King blinked, and followed him to find a clean place to advance.

A person with supernatural powers cannot advance to the next level overnight. Not long after Qi Ran entered the second level, his speed gradually slowed down after absorbing five crystal nuclei, and his supernatural powers were saturated.

If you continue to absorb it, your body will not be able to bear it.

Seeing him stop, the zombie king who was standing by the side expressed doubts with his eyes.

The virus destroyed most of the nerves, before it was purified, it could only use its eyes to communicate with Qi Ran as much as possible.

The sudden increase in abilities made Qi Ran feel a pain in his brain. He tried to control the ability to travel through the meridians, and when he was almost in control, he said to the zombie king, "Let me try."

Although it has not reached the fourth order, the principle is the same.

The zombie gentleman nodded, and obediently went to sit in front of him.

They are now in the village on the edge of the forest. The coercion of the fourth-order zombies makes the nearby zombies afraid to approach, and it is very empty.

Qi Ran tried to introduce the power of light into Zombie King's body, but the combination of darkness and light made it extremely difficult for him.

Because Zombie King's level is higher than his, his light system ability will be corroded as soon as he enters.

--Looks like it needs to reach at least Tier [-].

Qi Ran recalled that it was a supernatural power, and told Zombie King that the attempt failed.

He couldn't continue to absorb the crystal nucleus now, so he simply went around the village and found a few zombies to practice the manipulation of abilities.

Zombies wandered in groups of three or four in the dilapidated village, and most of the uninfected animals became their food.

A golden arrow pierced through the air and shot through the head of the middle-aged zombie by the side of the road. It was castrated and fell heavily to the ground.

Without Qi Ran saying a word, the zombie king beside him jumped over and dug out the crystal nucleus.

The bow and arrow in Qi Ran's hand is the weapon of his light system supernatural power, which is suitable for long-range attacks. It is extremely powerful but easy to overdraw.

This village is close to the mountain forest, because the location is remote and the population is small, they walked around the village and counted roughly, there were probably hundreds of zombies sparsely.

The temptation of zombies by supernatural beings is great. Qi Ran's existence is like a piece of fresh meat surrounded by wolves, but there are fourth-level zombies by his side, and none of them dare to challenge the authority of high-level zombies. away from.

After staying in the village for two days, Qi Ran began to absorb the remaining crystal nuclei and hit the fourth level.

The highest level in the last days is the seventh level, and the fourth level is the watershed from the elementary level to the intermediate level.

Because the absorbed energy was too hasty and huge, Qi Ran failed to control his powers in time when he entered the fourth level, and the powers of the light system and mental power exploded again. The zombie king next to him sensed the threat and stared at The fingers of the person surrounded by the golden light glowed with a pitch-black cold light.

The light quickly dissipated, revealing the figure inside.

Qi Ran was wearing an off-white top, his appearance was cold and delicate, and under the background of the slowly dissipating halo, there was a kind of holy beauty.

It's a pity that the only spectator, Zombie King, currently has no such thing as aesthetics. It just stares warily at the person exuding an aura of restraint, and its muscles are tense.

Aware of Zombie King's vigilance, Qi Ran quietly waited for it to relax.

It wasn't until the scattered light energy was completely dissipated that Zombie Lord put away his sharp nails, stared at Qi Ran for a long time, and uttered two words: "...purify...transform."

The difficult road to purification begins, because the attributes are relative, when Qi Ran uses the power of the light system to purify the virus in the zombie king's body, it will unconsciously resist.The virus is very thoroughly fused with its cells, and it is a huge project to purify it.

The first time he purified the zombies, he couldn't control it and left several deep wounds on Qi Ran's body. Fortunately, he had the ability to purify himself and would not be infected, otherwise there would have been more zombies here.

After the viruses in the meridians and bones are purified, Zombie Lord's movements are obviously more flexible. Before, it was just fast, but now... anyway, the fourth-level Qi Ran is still under his command.

I don't know why, but the Zombie Lord evolves very fast. In just a few days, it has already broken through the fourth level, becoming probably the only fifth-level zombie in the world.

Qi Ran secretly sighed, the Zombie King's advancement speed is probably like this.

"Yu...Ting..." After the second purification, Zombie King looked at City Y and murmured a name.

"Who is Yu Ting?" Qi Ran was surprised, "Have you recovered your memory?"

Zombie King shook his head.

"Then do you still remember your name?" Qi Ran asked.

Zombie King can already understand most of the questions after purification, it racked its brains for a while, and said jerky, "Gu... Hao..."

Gu Hao?Qi Ran felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"...Major General Gu of the Flying Dragon Team?" Qi Ran remembered that the captain of another team in Ning Yun's mission was Gu Hao, who belonged to the Flying Dragon Special Forces of City Y.

"Flying Dragon... Team..." Gu Hao had a gloomy pain in his eyes, "Fungal..."

"Bacteria? Did you find it?"

Qi Ran once found the bacteria in a laboratory in the deep mountains, and they probably discovered it in advance in this life.

It can just explain why Gu Hao advances so fast.

Bacteria are the protozoa of viruses, and they are more effective in optimizing the human body.

"Yuting... City Y."

"Yu Ting is your girlfriend?" Qi Ran guessed, "Is she in City Y?"

Gu Hao nodded, "Go...to City Y!"

As he said that, he was about to walk in the direction of Y city center.

"Wait!" Qi Ran quickly grabbed him.

"Ho!"

Gu Hao let out a low cry, and slashed his sharp nails towards the hand that was holding him. Qi Ran was caught off guard, and blood flowed profusely from the inside of his arm.

"I didn't let you go." Qi Ran pressed the bleeding wound, "It's just that the purification hasn't been completed yet, so what if you find her?"

Looking at Gu Hao's violent temper, he knows that the road to purification is still very long, and if he really finds Yu Ting, he wonders if he will tear her up directly.Besides, City Y is already a dead city, so it's not easy to find someone.

The hasty advancement and consumption of supernatural powers these past few days made Qi Ran mentally exhausted, and he couldn't relax at all when facing Gu Hao, so tired dark circles appeared under his eyes.

"You must at least know where she is..." Qi Ran continued to persuade.

"I'm sorry..." Gu Hao suddenly whispered.

After he calmed down, he turned his head reluctantly, knowing that he was too impulsive.Looking at the bewitching red color on that white arm, he felt a burst of hunger and turned his face away slightly.

"...It's okay." Qi Ran showed a faint smile.

--I didn't expect him to apologize.

Getting along with each other these days, Qi Ran felt that he was getting closer and closer to ordinary people.He took out a bandage from the space and wrapped it around the wound on his arm. He asked, "Do you remember which city she is in?"

The white bandage was wrapped several times around the thin arm, and Gu Hao's eyes kept following the slender fingers.

"Do you remember which city she is in?" Qi Ran asked again.

Gu Hao raised his head, shook his head blankly, "No..."

As calm as Qi Ran, he couldn't help lamenting -- City Y is so big, do you have to search for it from city to city?

Gu Hao racked his brains to recall, but the memory in his mind was very chaotic.

After a while, he suddenly said: "Hero...monument."

"Hero Monument? Shibei District?" As a native of City C, Qi Ran still knows a little about the neighboring City Y.

The Heroes Monument is a landmark building in Shibei District.

Among the six major districts of City Y, Shibei District is in the northeast, diagonally across the entire city from Yongzhou Town where they are located.

There are too many zombies along the way, and the mutated animals and aliens are not controlled by Gu Hao, so they must be extremely careful.

After two purifications, Gu Hao's complexion finally got rid of the pale paleness that lacks human color, at most he looked paler than ordinary people.

Qi Ran found clothes for him in the village to change into, and warned him not to do anything if he encountered a supernatural being. Finally, he set off to Shibei District.

Qi Ran didn't know if the girl named Yu Ting was still alive, and if she was alive or in City Y.Gu Hao is very stubborn about this matter, even if he is not accompanied by him, he will go this trip.

However, the purification has not been completed, and it is impossible for him to let such a wise high-level zombie out of his sight.

So I had to sacrifice my life to accompany the zombies and step into the city of death.
