Apocalypse: Why did you provoke her? She's a cultivator.

Chapter 40 Zombies Infiltrate Lincheng
But she still makes sure to get a good night's sleep and get plenty of rest sometimes.

When I woke up, it was already past midnight.

Ye Qiumian rubbed her rumbling stomach, took out a bowl of spirit rice, and then poured a bowl of stewed crab meat lion's head on top. The aroma was irresistible and made one's mouth water.

She couldn't help but start eating large mouthfuls.

Halfway through her meal, she suddenly sensed a fluctuation of spiritual energy.

This kind of spiritual power is different from the divine sense of cultivators; it is the spiritual power of those who cultivate supernatural abilities.

In other words, one's consciousness has cultivated into tangible energy, allowing them to attack another's mind whenever they wish.

Once the mind is attacked and severely injured, the person will become mentally impaired.

The stronger one's mental power, the greater one's attack power, and one can even control a person's behavior.

Ye Qiumian suddenly thought of the zombies that had appeared in the city. Could it be that a psychic zombie had sneaked in?

Thinking of this possibility, she quickly finished her meal, cast a cleansing spell, and the plate became spotless.

She put the bowl into her spatial dimension, opened the door, and rushed over following the fluctuation of spiritual energy.

If Lincheng is turned into a chaotic mess by these zombies, she won't feel comfortable living there.

Thinking about the worst-case scenario, if the entire Lincheng became a zombie city, she wouldn't be able to stay out of it.

Even if she were to recover to her previous life's Tribulation Transcending stage cultivation level, let alone her current cultivation level of only the eighth level of Qi Refining, she still wouldn't be able to kill an army of hundreds of thousands of zombies by herself.

Her spiritual power will eventually run out, and even if she doesn't die then, she won't fare much better.

Night fell, and it was pitch black outside, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Although electricity is still running in Lincheng, it cannot supply high-power appliances; it can only charge small appliances and provide street lighting.

Even so, there was only one streetlight that was on every other street.

Where the streetlights couldn't reach, it was pitch black, like terrifying black abysses.

Occasionally, one or two fluorescent insects would move through the darkness.

Ye Qiumian moved through the darkness and soon arrived at the source of the mental energy fluctuations.

It's another dilapidated urban village, where the tallest buildings are only five stories high.

The buildings are very close together; you can reach out and touch the window of the building next door – hence the nickname "handshake buildings".

Ye Qiumian walked into the alley, which was only a meter wide. The dark alley was quiet and gloomy, and the cold air around her seemed to seep into her skin.

At the end of the alley stood a street lamp, emitting a faint light.

"Crunch, crunch."

Suddenly, the sound of chewing bones and flesh reached my ears.

Ye Qiumian took a light sniff and detected a faint smell of blood hidden in the air, along with the putrid stench unique to zombies.

Sure enough, zombies have infiltrated Lin City!

These zombies have been so rampant these past two days, daring to sneak into the city. Could it be that the Zombie King can't control them anymore?
When a place gathers more and more zombies, it will soon breed a zombie king.

The Zombie King possesses a certain pheromone that controls all the zombies in its horde.

Before the appearance of the Zombie King, zombies below level two had no intelligence and would only wander around.

After the Zombie King appears, all zombies will obey his commands.

This is why there are zombie hordes attacking the neighboring city in a coordinated manner.

Behind the zombie horde is the zombie king controlling them.

Ye Qiumian's eyes turned cold, and she disappeared into the alley in a flash.

She soon arrived at the foot of a three-story building, from which the smells of blood and decay were emanating.

The building's main door was wide open. Ye Qiu Mian glanced at it and saw no signs of forced entry, indicating that the person inside had opened it voluntarily.

This further confirmed her suspicion that the zombies that had infiltrated the city were psychopathic zombies.

I just don't know how many have infiltrated.

As soon as I stepped through the door, I saw blood everywhere on the first floor, pools of blood mixed with intestines, flesh, and bones.

A strong smell of blood hit her face, and Ye Qiumian almost couldn't help but vomit.

She quickly took out a talisman, activated it with spiritual energy, and isolated all smells, instantly making the surrounding air fresh.

At that moment, the sound of chewing came from the second floor again, accompanied by the low growl of a zombie.

Ye Qiumian walked upstairs, but had not yet reached the second-floor platform.

Then I saw a scene that was quite eye-catching.

In the pitch-black living room, two zombies were tearing apart the corpse of a child. The neck of the zombie on the left was twisted at a bizarre angle, its rotting hand was grabbing the other leg, and its other hand was stuffing bloody flesh into its mouth.

It tore off a piece with force and chewed it, opening and closing its mouth.

You can even hear the crunching sound of bones being chewed.

The other zombie was also holding onto the other leg tightly, eating heartily just like the zombie on the left, with sticky saliva dripping from the corner of its mouth, forming a long, thin strand.

Two middle-aged men with vacant eyes and unfocused gazes stood next to the sofa.

Perhaps sensing someone's arrival, the two zombies turned their heads simultaneously, clear liquid seeping from their dark eyes, making the stench of decay in the living room even more intense and nauseating.

Fortunately, Ye Qiumian used an odor-blocking talisman, otherwise she would have vomited right after eating.

The two zombies, disturbed while eating meat, angrily ripped the corpse in their hands in two.

They let out a low growl, their two legs dangling in the air, blood splattering everywhere.

Ye Qiumian's eyes were cold as she sensed the zombie's mental power attempting to attack her mind.

She raised her hand and unleashed several streams of spiritual energy, instantly slicing the two zombies into pieces.

Having lost the zombie's mental control, the two middle-aged men standing beside the sofa gradually regained their senses.

When the two saw what was happening before them, their eyes widened in disbelief, and then they let out a painful scream.

"Ahhh, Xiao Wu!!!"

"What happened? How could this be?"

"Oh, my Xiao Wu!"

A middle-aged man dressed in black and white stripes knelt on the ground, his face contorted in pain, tears streaming down his face.

He reached out his trembling hand, wanting to touch the tender leg in front of him, but he didn't dare to touch it at all.

Another man, dressed in gray with a pale, beardless face, stood silently to the side, his expression angry.

Just then, Ye Qiumian sensed that a powerful psychic zombie had run away nearby.

She turned to give chase. They think they can just eat someone and run? No way!

"stop!"

When the man in gray saw that Ye Qiumian was trying to run away, he immediately called out to stop her.

He strode forward, his eyes filled with deep suspicion. "How did you end up here?"

"Naturally, we came here because we discovered there were zombies here," Ye Qiumian said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the man in gray immediately questioned, "Since you discovered there were zombies here, why didn't you save them?"
