Rise of the Wasteland in Cultivation

No one objected. Even if they had the beast crystals, they would have no use for them. If Xiao San wanted them, everyone would have been happy to give them up. Besides, Xiao San had contributed the most to killing the two mutated leopards.

Ye Wenrou wanted to ask what Leng San wanted the beast crystal for, but she ultimately held back. She wasn't someone without boundaries. Everyone has their own secrets, and Ye Wenrou was no exception. Prying into other people's secrets was undoubtedly a despicable act.

Leng San happily put away the two beast crystals. After months of unremitting cultivation, his cultivation level had reached the late stage of the first level of Qi Refining. Now that he had two beast crystals rich in spiritual energy, breaking through to the second level of Qi Refining was just around the corner.

What Leng San couldn't understand was that these two mutated beasts weren't spirit beasts from the cultivation world. In this wasteland world without a trace of spiritual energy, only filth and radiation, how did they manage to condense beast crystals rich in spiritual energy? Could this be the so-called reversal of extremes?

However, Leng San had no time to delve into the matter at this moment. Everyone needed to hurry up and enter the subway station to find the nuclear battery, which was the goal of this mission.

At that moment, Zhou Chen and Fatty led the way, Ye Wenrou was in the middle, and Leng San and Bi Lang were responsible for the two flanks, quickly "rushing" into the subway station.

That's right, it's a charge, but not the kind of charge that's menacing. The entire squad moves very fast, yet is remarkably quiet, making almost no unnecessary noise.

Ye Wenrou deftly tossed out a glowing energy ball. The ball was elastic and rolled silently down the stairs, its soft light illuminating the surroundings.

The five-person team followed the energy ball down the stairs and entered the security checkpoint on the lower level. There weren't many zombies here; most of them had probably been lured outside, and the rest were asleep.

So, Leng San and the others quickly went up the stairs to the second basement level, where the boarding area was located, and the subway should be parked on the tracks below.

However, when Leng San and the others descended to the second basement level, the scene before them made their scalps tingle.

The waiting hall was packed with zombies, so many that there wasn't even room to stand. Anyone with trypophobia would probably die on the spot if they came here!

Zhou Chen and the fat man involuntarily stopped in their tracks, turned around, and looked at Bi Lang and Leng San questioningly.

Big Boss Bi was also in a dilemma. He thought he had lured most of the zombies out of the station, but he didn't expect there to be so many left. There must be several thousand of them. How was he supposed to deal with them?

Fortunately, the zombies were all fast asleep in the darkness and had not yet noticed Leng San and the other uninvited guests.

However, at that moment, the fat guy, probably due to excessive nervousness, actually let out a silent fart.

As the saying goes, a loud fart doesn't stink, and a stinky fart doesn't stink. This muffled fart is the most foul-smelling. Zhou Chen, who was following behind the fat man, was the first to suffer. He suddenly inhaled a big mouthful and almost vomited up the overnight nutritional supplement. Ugh!

"Damn it, that fatso released poison gas, how insidious!" Zhou Chen angrily punched the fat man in the butt.

The fat man said awkwardly in a low voice, "Brother Chen, I didn't mean to, I was just too nervous."

Although the two spoke very softly, it still startled several zombies nearby, who slowly turned their heads to look this way. Their pale, lifeless eyes were quite eerie under the soft light of the energy ball.

The group moved with lightning speed, swiftly killing the awakened zombies with their daggers, but they were still a step too slow, allowing one of the zombies to roar.

Wow, this is really bad! The zombies on the entire floor have been woken up!

The once quiet second basement level instantly boiled over, as if a drop of water had been dropped into a hot oil pan—and exploded!

roar roar...

The ear-piercing roars of the zombies filled the air, making everyone's eardrums ring. All the zombies howled and pounced, trying to devour the fresh flesh that had been delivered to their doorstep.

At this moment, a mutated zombie in the horde suddenly leaped up, its sharp bone blade slashing down at Leng San's head with lightning speed.

This mutated zombie was just unlucky; out of so many people, it chose the most hardcore target, not even bothering with the easy targets.

Leng Sanjian raised his eyebrows and slashed the mutated zombie with his machete. With a snap, the mutated zombie's sharp bone blade was severed, and the machete continued its momentum, splitting off half of the mutated zombie's head.

This powerful yet smooth slash spurred Zhou Chen and the fat man into action. The former pulled the trigger, firing a shotgun blast that sent two zombies flying, and laughed loudly, "Damn it, we're already here, let's go all out!"

Crack—boom, crack—boom!

Zhou Chen took the lead and blasted a bloody path through the enemy lines with his shotgun.

The fat man, now a level-two genetically enhanced warrior, was even more ferocious. He charged forward with his alloy round shield, smashing it like watermelons, shattering the zombies' heads to pieces.

In contrast, the experienced Bi Lang was much more refined. He held a mini submachine gun in his left hand, firing intermittently, each shot hitting the head precisely. In his right hand, he held a sharp reverse-bow knife, specifically for slicing off heads. Wherever he went, zombies fell dead, making it look easy and effortless.

Then look at Ye Wenrou, she's much more violent. Her overclocked oscillation blade moves wildly, leaving limbs and broken arms flying everywhere. She's on par with Fatty, extremely wild!

With a Desert Eagle in his left hand and a machete in his right, Leng San followed closely behind Ye Wenrou. He did not actively kill the ordinary zombies, but instead focused on guarding against the mutated zombies that might suddenly appear from the horde.

With perfect coordination in offense and defense, the five men swept through the horde of zombies as if they were nothing, and finally reached the shielded gate.

The platform screen doors were open, and sure enough, a train was stopped on the tracks. However, due to the erosion of time, the paint on the train body had peeled off severely, and it looked rusty and unrecognizable.

Leng San and the others rushed into the carriage and quickly cleared out all the zombies inside. Ye Wenrou slashed open the driver's side door with a few strokes and slipped inside.

As expected of someone who reads a lot, Wenrou had clearly done her homework and quickly located the train's energy core. She pried open the cover, revealing a nuclear battery.

"Great! There's still 49% energy left!" Ye Wenrou cheered happily, trying to pull the nuclear battery out of the slot, but it was a bit heavy, probably weighing two or three hundred pounds, so Ye Wenrou struggled a lot.

"Let me do it!" Leng San hurriedly stepped forward and pulled out the nuclear battery. This thing, though called a battery, is actually a miniaturized fusion reactor, with a volume of about 0.5 cubic meters and a weight of 300 kilograms.

However, this weight was nothing to Leng San, who easily lifted it and walked away, shouting, "Brother Chen, Fatty, we got the stuff, let's get out of here!"

Fatty and Zhou Chen were overjoyed and immediately led the way again. However, at that moment, a very strange scene occurred.

The horde of zombies that had been frantically attacking and biting suddenly fell silent, as if they had been frozen in place. Even a few mutated zombies stood trembling in place.

This bizarre scene left Zhou Chen and the fat man looking at each other in bewilderment. However, Leng San's expression changed drastically, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly surged into his heart, almost making his hair stand on end.

"Run!" Leng San shouted, carrying the nuclear battery and running wildly.

Although Ye Wenrou and the others did not know what was happening, the strange scene before them was definitely not normal. At this moment, running was definitely the right thing to do, so they ran wildly after Leng San.
