Rise of the Wasteland in Cultivation

In the current Canglang Scavenging Team, Zhou Chen and Fatty are both Level 2 Gene Enhancement Warriors. Although Bi Lang's cultivation level dropped after recovering from his injuries, he still retains the strength of a Level 2 Enhancement Warrior. The weakest member is Ye Wenrou. She didn't receive any enhancement injections, but she is immune to the zombie virus and possesses extremely strong self-healing abilities, so her overall strength has reached the level of a Level 1 Enhancement Warrior.

Leng San is naturally the strongest in the team, with level two gene enhancement and late-stage Qi Refining level one. Therefore, the Canglang team has a pretty high chance of winning against two mutated corpse leopards that are both at level two strength.

The problem is, you don't know how many mutated zombie leopards are still under the subway station, so everyone is quite nervous and uncertain.

Fortunately, Leng San and the others observed from the shadows for a while and did not find the third mutated corpse leopard appear, so they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The two mutated zombie leopards in front of them didn't seem to be low-level zombies; they appeared to still retain animal intelligence and instincts. They didn't follow the direction of the zombie horde, but instead stood near the subway entrance, cautiously looking around and craning their necks to sniff incessantly. Finally, they both looked towards the hiding place of Leng San and the others, their gazes cold and lifeless.

"Damn it, we've been spotted! Let's get them!" Zhou Chen jumped up, shotgun in hand, ready to strike first.

Unexpectedly, the two mutated corpse leopards suddenly vanished into thin air. Zhou Chen was momentarily stunned and asked, "Where are those two beasts? Did you see them?"

Ye Wenrou and Bi Lang shook their heads, a chill running down their spines, and they became extremely alert, paying close attention to their surroundings.

The fat man rubbed his eyes, somewhat incredulous. The two black creatures had suddenly vanished right before everyone's eyes. Could they be invisible? This was really going to be hilarious!

Just then, Leng San suddenly shouted, "Fatty, ten o'clock!"

After being reminded by Leng San, Fatty almost instinctively raised his round shield to block the ten o'clock position.

The next second, there was a loud bang.

A mutated corpse leopard slammed its steel claws into the round shield, the violent force causing the fat man to stagger back several steps, his entire arm going numb.

Everyone glanced at the dented alloy shield in the fat man's hand and broke out in a cold sweat. This beast was incredibly fast and strong! If it weren't for Xiao San's warning, the fat man would probably be dead already.

The mutated corpse leopard's sneak attack failed, and it nimbly leaped away, landing a little unsteady, probably injured by the spikes on the fat man's shield.

"Die!" Zhou Chen roared, striking while the iron was hot and firing three shots with his shotgun.

However, although the mutated corpse leopard was injured, it was still incredibly fast, leaping left and right, and managed to dodge the three shots.

—Sizzle sizzle

Ye Wenrou fired her laser pistol repeatedly, finally hitting the mutated corpse leopard in the stomach, creating a hole on the spot.

However, before Ye Wenrou could even feel happy, Leng San suddenly slashed at her with his blade. The blade gleamed with a hazy, thunderous blue light, its power fierce and domineering. At the same time, he shouted, "Dowry!"

Ye Wenrou hurriedly ducked and crouched down. She heard a miserable scream. The corpse leopard that had attacked Ye Wenrou had its claws severed on the spot and rolled to the ground, revealing its true form.

It turns out that this mutated corpse leopard isn't invisible; it can change the color of its fur to adapt to its surroundings, just like a chameleon. Plus, it's so fast that it's impossible to guard against. To Zhou Chen and the others, it seemed as if it had vanished into thin air.

Fortunately, Leng San had extremely sensitive hearing, which allowed him to pinpoint the location by sound and detect the movements of the two corpse leopards in time. Otherwise, Fatty and Ye Wenrou would have been killed as soon as they made their move.

At this moment, both corpse leopards were injured, and their fur had returned to black. The corpse leopard whose claws had been severed by Leng San was lying on the ground, struggling and howling incessantly.

Ye Wenrou had almost died under the claws of this mutated corpse leopard. Now, she rushed forward in anger, raised her overclocked oscillation blade, and slashed at the mutated corpse leopard's head. But with a loud bang, she failed to cut through it.

"Leopards have heads of bronze and tails of iron, legs of hemp and waists of tofu, and their skulls are the hardest," Bi Lang reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Ye Wenrou turned the overclocked oscillation blade to its maximum power, but it still took three cuts to cleave the mutated corpse leopard in half.

Everyone was secretly astonished. This mutated corpse leopard was far too tough. Xiao San was only using an ordinary machete, yet he had just severed both of the mutated corpse leopard's claws with a single strike.

Little did they know that Leng San's seemingly simple slash had been infused with 50% of his spiritual power; otherwise, it would have been impossible to cut through the mutated leopard's steel claws.

Meanwhile, the other mutated corpse leopard, seeing its companion die tragically, turned and fled into the subway station. Zhou Chen and Bi Lang immediately opened fire.

The mutated corpse leopard was first stabbed in the claws, and then had a hole punched through its abdomen, greatly reducing its agility. Under the intense firepower of the crowd, it finally collapsed near the subway station entrance.

Zhou Chen was still not satisfied, so he chased after the corpse leopard and bombarded its head until it was smashed to pieces.

"Don't waste bullets!" Ye Wenrou said irritably, then suddenly let out a soft "hmm," and stretched out her overclocked oscillation blade. From the shattered remains of the corpse leopard's head, she pulled out a glittering object and asked, "Boss, what's this?"

Bi Lang took it and looked at it, then shook his head and said, "I don't recognize it. It might be a diamond that this beast accidentally swallowed, but it doesn't look like a diamond." He then handed it back to Ye Wenrou.

"Gentle girl, let Brother Chen have a look!" Zhou Chen reached out to ask for it, but Ye Wenrou didn't give it to him. Instead, she handed it to Leng San, who had walked over.

Zhou Chen shrugged, feigning sadness, and said, "Gentle girl, you don't give me any good things now. You've got a younger brother, but you don't want an older brother anymore!"

Ye Wenrou's face flushed slightly, and she pretended not to hear. Leng San took the glittering object from Ye Wenrou's hand and was immediately shocked, because he could actually sense a rich spiritual energy emanating from it.

"Is this a crystal core? Or perhaps a spirit stone from Earth?" Leng San was both surprised and delighted. He hurriedly turned around and ran to another mutated corpse leopard, using his spiritual power to cleave the leopard's head open with a single strike.

Everyone fell silent. Just now, Ye Wenrou used the maximum power of the overclocked oscillation knife to cut the mutated corpse leopard in half with three strikes, but Leng San only used one strike to split the hardest part of the leopard's head open, and that was with an ordinary machete.

At this point, Bi Lang began to have some doubts, wondering if Leng San's strength had reached the level of level three gene enhancement.

At this moment, Leng San had already pulled another shiny object out of the corpse leopard's head.

Leng San was overjoyed. It seemed that it was no coincidence. These mutated beasts all had crystals in their heads, and the crystals even contained rich spiritual energy.

"Xiao San, what is this?" Ye Wenrou asked curiously when she saw that Leng San looked a little excited.

Leng San said, "I can't really tell what these are, but they seem useful to me. How about this, I don't want my share of the mission's profits; these two things are mine. Does anyone have any objections?"
