Post-Apocalyptic: Unlimited Resources, Neighbor's Wife and Sister Beg for the Door to Open

Chapter 132 A Fierce Battle, Humanity's Backstab! (Please continue reading)

Lu Zheng did nothing.

He sent two small, mutated birds to Ke Xueying's location to guard the area.

What harm can be done to Ke Xueying?

These two mutated birds also ate the Spirit Domain Fruit, and Lu Zheng could directly see the world through their eyes via the Spirit Domain.

Don't be fooled by the fact that these two parrots are only the size of pheasants; they have both been fed by Lu Zheng and have become third-tier mutated beasts.

One possesses the ability to control the wind, while the other possesses the ability to set fires.

So the name is a combination of wind and fire.

The combined attack of wind and fire is very powerful.

Of course, its current function is as a monitor.

Ke Xueying is very busy.

As the guild leader of the Fire Glaze Guild, she not only has to handle some miscellaneous tasks, but also has to go out to hunt insects and night demons.

If she doesn't lead the team, there is a high possibility of casualties.

For every person who dies, she has to pay a considerable amount of crystal cores to their family.

This was a promise she made from the very beginning.

At the same time, losing a combatant will reduce the efficiency of acquiring crystal cores.

Ke Xueying's superpower is sonic impact, which is effective in both killing and resisting the two types of monsters: dizzying bats and night demons.

Without her leading the team, the deaths would have been almost inevitable.

The existence of Night Demons and Dizzy Bats is a disaster for these civilian supernatural organizations and teams.

Without a superhuman to counter the opponent, going out is just suicide.

Many non-governmental organizations now follow the actions of the official forces, picking up scraps and acquiring crystal cores and supplies.

Only those with the ability to control their superpowers, like Ke Xueying, would dare to lead a team out on their own.

She is now a fourth-level ability user, having just advanced to that level yesterday.

Today we're going out to hunt for another batch of crystal cores.

On the outer ring of Kyoto, above the ruins, black mist rolled like a tide, shrouding the broken walls in a deathly shadow.

Wearing a black stab-proof vest and carrying a specially made sonic emitter, Ke Xueying led her team through the collapsed office buildings.

Behind her followed twenty-three second-tier ability users from the Fire Glaze Guild, each with a tense expression and eyes scanning their surroundings like hawks.

The group included many young men and women, most of whom were employees or family members of a distant machinery factory before the apocalypse. However, the trials they had undergone since the apocalypse had made them like well-trained warriors, gripping steel spears and simple shields, their steps steady.

Everyone who eats the crystal core can gain superpowers, but most of them are basic superpowers such as physical enhancement. In combat, they still need to rely on metal weapons to ensure their combat effectiveness.

"Maintain formation! The ability users will report back regularly. Report any emergencies immediately!"

Ke Xueying's voice was hoarse but powerful, and a few strands of hair were stuck to her forehead with sweat.

She had just broken through to the fourth rank yesterday, and the supernatural power within her was surging like a tidal wave, urgently needing to stabilize her realm through battle.

At the same time, she also needs a batch of crystal cores to enhance the strength of her subordinates.

Today's goal is two hundred second-order crystal cores and ten third-order crystal cores. As for fourth-order crystal cores, she is not so presumptuous.

Having just broken through to the fourth tier, she didn't believe she had the ability to solo a fourth-tier insect.

So far, they have obtained more than one hundred second-order crystal cores and four third-order crystal cores, which is quite a rich harvest.

Suddenly, a piercing, tearing sound of metal shrieking came from ahead—

"Buzz!" A dark blue giant shadow, tens of meters long, crashed through the outer wall of the department store. Its six pairs of ice-crystal-covered limbs pierced the concrete ground, and the cold air instantly condensed into white frost on the ground.

"A fourth-tier Frost Centipede!" an exclamation rang out from the group.

Tier 4 insects are already rare, and with the recent official efforts to hunt them down, private organizations are practically never seeing them.

Its mouthparts spray ice spikes powerful enough to pierce tank armor, freezing everything in their path. When civilian groups encountered it, most could only flee in panic; those who managed to escape were considered quite formidable. But now, this Frost Centipede appeared too suddenly, arriving right in front of them, leaving them no time to escape.

They have been identified as prey.

Ke Xueying's pupils shrank sharply: "Spread out! Form a fan-shaped formation, I'll lead the attack!"

The energy within her body instantly converged, and the sonic transmitter in her hand was activated, assisting her sonic power to transform into tangible ripples, which slammed into the head of the Frost Centipede like an invisible giant hammer.

Enraged by the pain, the Frost Centipede swept its tail, sending three team members flying and crashing into the wall.

Instead of retreating, Ke Xueying advanced, leaping into the air with her toes touching the ground. Her sonic waves condensed into sharp blades, piercing the gaps in the carapace between the compound eyes of the Frost Centipede—its only weakness.

The Frost Centipede's Ice Armor rebounded, damaging her internal organs and causing hot blood to gush from her throat. But she gritted her teeth, and her sonic frequency suddenly soared to its limit.

"Break!"

"Boom!"

The giant skull exploded, and the ice armor shattered like a mirror.

These enormous insects are most vulnerable to concentrated energy attacks; even a body-enhancing ability user of the same level would find it difficult to break through their defenses.

But now, Ke Xueying, despite being severely injured, used the sound waves she emitted at close range to kill him directly.

The Frost Centipede crashed to the ground, and an ice-blue crystal core the size of a pigeon egg rolled onto the scorched earth.

Ke Xueying staggered to the ground, her left shoulder pierced by an ice shard, blood staining half of her body.

She managed to steady herself and gave the order in a hoarse voice:

"Xiao Liu, go collect the crystal cores..."

The young man, known as Xiao Liu, quickly approached the enormous corpse of the Frost Centipede, picked up the crystal core, and wore an excited expression.

"President, we got it!"

Before he finished speaking, a sudden change occurred!
A dark figure broke through the wind and arrived.

A shadowy figure flashed out from behind the broken pillar, a dagger gleaming coldly like a viper's tongue, aimed straight at the back of the young man who was bending down to pick up a crystal core.

"Pfft!"

The team member let out two hoarse sounds and collapsed to the ground.

The crystal core was scooped into the palm of a hand with scarlet fingernails.

"Di Jiani!"

Ke Xueying's eyes were bloodshot.

The newcomer was clad in black leather, with fiery curly hair and a malicious sneer on his lips; he was none other than her enemy.

Di Jiani weighed the crystal core in her hand, her laughter like the tinkling of silver bells, but her eyes were as fierce as a venomous snake:
"President Ke, thanks! With this fourth-order crystal core, Master Huang can advance to the fourth order."

Before the apocalypse, she was the only daughter of the Chiba Group in Kyoto, and was arrogant and domineering.

Because the financial talent Lin Xiu, whom she secretly admires, has a high opinion of Ke Xueying, she retorts that Ke Xueying is "shallow and ignorant," and from then on, she harbors deep hatred for him.

After the apocalypse, she was taken by a security guard, then passed from hand to hand with many men, and finally threw herself into the arms of Huang Batian, the leader of the "Overbearing Alliance," where she acted arrogantly and domineeringly.

Countless men and women have died at her hands, most of them couples, and her methods were extremely cruel.

But now there is no justice system, and if someone without power or connections dies, no one cares.

"You stole my things and killed my people, you're asking for death!"

Ke Xueying pressed down on the bleeding wound and shouted sharply.

Her men rushed forward, trying to surround Di Jiani, but were interrupted by a shrill scream from her:
"Fools, you're going to die!"

The next moment, her figure transformed into a black shadow and disappeared.

The instant she disappeared, a large number of humanoid monsters emerged from the surrounding black mist. They had grayish-white skin and crawled on all fours; they were none other than the second-tier monsters, Night Demons!

The quantity is in the thousands.
