My cells can be idle and practiced

Chapter 304 Chaos Sapling Initial Limit, External Planting

After dealing with the disgusting pollutant at the survivors' base in the business district, Yang Bei flashed and left like a bolt of lightning.

He stared into the distance with a determined gaze, with only one thought in his mind - to continue hunting more polluted bodies!

At this point, the pollutants in this place had been completely eliminated by him, so naturally there was no reason to stay here any longer.

So, Yang Bei turned around without hesitation and headed towards the next survivor stronghold.

Yang Bei did not rely on any external force or tools, but relied on his own absolute strength to move directly forward in the air!
This is not some ridiculous theory of stepping on the air with your left foot, but the real meaning of breaking the void with force.

Every step he took seemed to cause the air to vibrate violently, and as his feet landed, his entire body would shoot forward like an arrow, crossing a long distance in an instant.

Just like that, Yang Bei flew rapidly through the air like a god descending from heaven, rushing towards the next target.

Following the vague and unclear signs in the ruined city, Yang Bei moved forward quickly.

Every step you take seems to cross endless time, space and distance.

Not long after, he successfully arrived at his destination, the place he wanted to reach.

This is the last survivor stronghold mentioned by Zhao Tianyang.

Looking up, what comes into view is a department store that looks somewhat dilapidated.

At this moment, this once prosperous and bustling department store is experiencing the same tragic fate as the surrounding business district.

The air was filled with a disgusting and foul smell. Countless hideous and strangely shaped polluted bodies surged in like a tide. They bared their fangs and claws, mercilessly surrounding the entire department store.

These terrifying creatures continuously attacked the interior of the department store and were unstoppable.

The defense line that was supposed to be held at the gate has now been completely breached.

Those who were on guard either fell in a pool of blood or were forced to flee the scene, leaving behind only the mess and chaos on the ground.

However, this department store is no ordinary place.

It towers into the sky, with a total of twenty-three floors!

Those tenacious survivors, like an indestructible fortress, held their defenses layer by layer.

At this moment... they seemed to have been forced to retreat to the tenth floor.

what does this mean?
This means that there is still room to extend upward and the survivors still have a way to retreat.

In this way, they fought and retreated, cleverly using the terrain and resources of each floor to resist the enemy's attack.

In this case, unless there is a powerful existence among this group of polluted bodies that can crush the survivors with absolute strength, it will be almost an impossible task to capture the survivors' stronghold in a short period of time.

But it should be noted that this stalemate can only last for a short time.

If the delay is too long, problems such as shortage of supplies and fatigue of personnel will follow.

By then, it would probably only be a matter of time before this department store that once seemed unbreakable was completely breached.

The survivors in this department store are completely different from those in other places.

At this moment, the horrifying polluted bodies around were like a tide, constantly surging towards this direction.

The number of them is so large that it can be said that there is an endless supply, as if there is no end.

Not only that, there are also many powerful ones among these polluting bodies. They all have bared fangs and claws, hideous faces, and emit waves of disgusting odor.

However, looking back at the survivors in the department store, their numbers are limited after all, and their energy is even more limited.

When facing the crazy attacks of so many and fierce polluted bodies, even if you can barely resist at first, you will inevitably feel exhausted after a long time.

Moreover, as the battle continued, the survivors fell one after another, and with every sacrifice, the pressure faced by the living would increase exponentially.

If the situation continues to develop in this way, it won’t be long before this seemingly solid fortress becomes difficult to defend and is eventually breached by the polluted body.

And once the defense line is completely breached, what awaits all the survivors will undoubtedly be a catastrophic disaster - total death!
Yang Bei was naturally well aware of such a tragic ending, and his solemn eyes had already seen through everything.

And how could the survivors not know this?

Each of them had despair and fear on their faces, but they had to grit their teeth and fight to the death, just to gain even a second of hope for survival...

Therefore, in this magnificent department store, the few survivors are doing their best to resist the threats from the outside world.

Although they tried their best, the haze of despair spread quickly like a plague.

The survivors inside the department store, while stubbornly resisting the enemy's attack, also did not forget to keep an eye on the changes in the situation outside.

When they witnessed with their own eyes the dense and seemingly endless amount of pollution surging like a tide towards the building where they were hiding, everyone couldn't help but feel a deep fear and despair in their hearts.

At this moment, the manager on the top floor was silently watching everything happening downstairs.

His expressionless face was as cold as a stone sculpture, making it difficult to guess his true thoughts.

Perhaps, after facing all kinds of cruel realities for a long time, he had already become numb; or perhaps, he had already been mentally prepared for the outcome of this life-and-death battle and accepted it calmly; or perhaps, he had actually foreseen that such a day would come a long time ago.

In any case, it is difficult for people to detect too much emotional fluctuation from the manager's calm face.

One could even say that he exuded a sense of relief and liberation.

Yes!

After all, in this doomsday world full of death and destruction, people have been struggling to survive for too long.

The depression and despair that enveloped the body and mind at all times have already tempered the souls of every person who has survived to this day into extremely strong ones.

Now, when the final judgment comes, these survivors can face the arrangement of fate with a relatively calm attitude.

Slowly stepping into the department store, it feels like being in a whirlpool of emotions.

Wherever you look, people's faces are filled with complex and deep emotions.

If you carefully feel every person here, you can sense a hint of relief hidden deep in the despair.

It felt like a soul that had been imprisoned in darkness for a long time finally saw a ray of light, although it was weak, it was enough to ignite the fire of hope.

However, this relief does not mean that they are willing to give up their lives and surrender.

On the contrary, it is more like a kind of self-consolation under helplessness, a way to seek spiritual comfort in extreme difficulties. Even so, the fear of death in everyone's heart is still there.

After all, as long as they are not really faced with a situation where death is inevitable, the instinct for survival will drive them to fight with all their might.

It is conceivable that when those hideous monsters pounced on them with bared fangs and claws, these people might tremble in fear or be terrified, but they would never sit still and wait to die.

They will grit their teeth and fight the monster to the death with all their might.

Because they know very well that if they relax even a little, they will be ruthlessly torn apart and become a delicious meal for monsters.

Those who have been able to survive the doomsday catastrophe to this day naturally have extraordinary tenacity and courage.

Faced with endless suffering and crisis, they have already made full mental preparation.

No matter how rugged and bumpy the road ahead is, no matter how powerful and fierce the enemy is, they will stand up without hesitation, use their flesh and blood to build an indestructible line of defense, and guard that last ray of hope.

Just as Li Yunfei was concentrating on observing the situation below, suddenly, an extremely subtle sound reached his sensitive ears.

The sound seemed to come from the rooftop. Although it was very slight, it was enough to arouse his high alert.

Li Yunfei's heart tightened and he secretly said "not good".

Could it be that those horrible polluted entities broke through the defense line and rushed in from the rooftop?

When he thought of this possibility, his originally calm heart was instantly filled with uneasiness.

If it is really as he thought, then the situation will become extremely critical!

Li Yunfei was fully aware of the seriousness of the situation and did not dare to delay any further. If the situation was really so bad, he had to make proper arrangements immediately.

The most urgent task was for him to go to the rooftop in person to investigate the specific situation.

As for whether this trip would be dangerous, Li Yunfei didn't actually think too much about it.

Because he knew very well that with his current strength, he was the most powerful among all the survivors in this department store.

If even he would be doomed to die if he went up there, then anyone else who went up there would suffer the same tragic end.

In other words, he is everyone's only hope. If he falls, I'm afraid everyone in the department store will be doomed.

Li Yunfei approached the stairwell lightly, taking every step carefully, as if he was not stepping on ordinary stairs, but a thorny road full of spikes and traps.

His body leaned forward slightly, his muscles tensed to the extreme, like a bow with a fully drawn string, ready to respond to possible attacks at any time.

He observed his surroundings with full concentration, using his senses to the fullest extent, trying to capture even the slightest movement.

However, despite his alertness, the surroundings were still eerily quiet; even the air seemed to be frozen.

But Li Yunfei was very sure that the slight noise just now was not an illusion. It meant that something was approaching here.

What made him even more uneasy was that he couldn't sense the breath of any living creature.

Normally, with his keen perception acquired through years of practice, even the tiniest sign of life would not escape his detection.

But now, this silence was like a thick fog, covering everything and making it impossible for him to distinguish anything.

At this moment, various possibilities flashed through Li Yunfei's mind.

There are only two explanations for this abnormal phenomenon: first, no living creature has ever set foot here; second, the strength of the person who came is far greater than his, so that he can completely conceal his own breath and make him unaware.

If it is the first case, it is a blessing in disguise; but if it is the second case, I am afraid I will be in a life-and-death crisis today.

However, Li Yunfei knew very well in his heart that with his confidence in his perception, the feeling he just had could not be wrong.

In other words, he is most likely facing the second situation right now.

However, things may not be irreversible yet.

Maybe the mysterious being who quietly sneaked into the top floor did not possess super strength, but was just good at hiding and disguising.

Thinking of this, Li Yunfei took a deep breath, tried to calm his inner tension, continued to stay highly alert, and stepped up the stairs step by step...

However, just as Li Yunfei was thinking about a lot of things, a figure slowly walked down from the top floor.

When Li Yunfei caught a glimpse of the figure, his eyes were instantly attracted, as if they were sucked by a magnet, and he could no longer move his eyes away.

Just like that, Li Yunfei stared at the other person intently, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.

After a long time, Li Yunfei came back to his senses as if awakened from a dream, but he still asked with a look of disbelief on his face: "You... are a human?"

Hearing this, Yang Bei couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He frowned and asked, "Could it be that I am not a human being?"

Faced with such a question, Li Yunfei was speechless for a moment, opening his mouth but not knowing how to respond.

After a moment of silence, Li Yunfei finally came to his senses and continued to ask: "But...how did you come down from the top floor?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Bei showed a matter-of-fact expression on his face, and replied casually: "Of course, I have to climb up to the top floor first, and then walk down." After that, he shrugged, indicating that this was nothing worth making a fuss about.

Seeing that Li Yunfei was still shocked, Yang Bei waved his hand and added: "But these are not important. Shouldn't the more urgent task at hand be to eliminate the rampant pollution below as soon as possible?"

After Yang Bei's reminder, Li Yunfei suddenly understood and nodded in agreement.

Indeed, at this moment, the top priority is to eliminate the extremely harmful pollutants downstairs.

"Well, but... the pollution is endless. How can we solve it?"

Speaking of this issue, Li Yunfei is now somewhat helpless.

Now he really couldn't think of any solution unless he went alone.

Yang Bei still answered as if it was a matter of course: "It's very simple, isn't it enough to just kill all the pollutants below?"

When Li Yunfei heard what Yang Bei said, he didn't know whether to laugh or be angry for a moment.

Kill all the pollutants below?
It sounds simple, but can it be done?

Without waiting for Li Yunfei to speak.

Yang Bei had already walked downstairs.
