The undead have descended upon the world? I possess a sword that can cleave the heavens once more!

After passing through the portal back to the base, Wu You flew directly towards the supply depot.

As Wu You entered the quartermaster's office, he was greeted by torchbearers carrying various exotic plants.

Some people held a bundle of grass that emitted a pale blue glow, some carried a string of bright red berries, and some carefully placed a flower with golden patterns on its petals into a special collection box.

They had obviously just returned from sourcing goods from various dangerous areas.

A not-too-long queue stretched through the quartermaster's hall, where torchbearers stood in twos and threes, showing off their spoils. The air was filled with the peculiar scent of various exotic plants.

Wu You paused at the doorway, stopping his steps as he walked in.

He thought for a moment, then took out a pair of large sunglasses from his trench coat pocket and put them on.

These sunglasses were the same ones he used in Dayun City before; they had black lenses and wide frames, and could cover most of his face when he wore them.

After the large sunglasses covered most of his face, Wu You finally relaxed his brows slightly.

The silver sword mark was partially obscured by the upper edge of the glasses, leaving only a small section of its silver tip visible. The silver eyes were also hidden by the dark lenses; others could only see their reflection in the mirror, not the inhuman eyes that held the promise of a galaxy.

He had just flown here and had already received a lot of attention.

Although he didn't care about other people's opinions, and although those opinions were full of admiration and praise, he still didn't want to attract too much attention.

This may also be influenced by his experiences in his previous life.

Inside the quartermaster's hall, torchbearers were still queuing up.

At the front of the line were several torchbearers holding tablets. They carefully identified the special medicinal materials submitted by each torchbearer and then categorized and stored them.

Meanwhile, they muttered to themselves, "Three Energy-Gathering Clover plants, a total of 4,500 contribution points. Two Red Leaf Bone-Forging Fruits, 2,000 contribution points. Dark Mist Short Ganoderma, this one looks good and is quite large, 1,200 contribution points..."

"Next."

……

Old Wei, on the other hand, remained standing behind the counter, handling matters in front of the light screen.

Wu You walked to the counter and softly called out, "Old Wei."

Old Wei looked up: "Hmm? Xiao You?"

Wu You nodded.

Looking at Wu You wearing large sunglasses, Old Wei seemed to understand Wu You's predicament, and a slightly teasing smile appeared on his noticeably wrinkled face:

"We have shapeshifting grass here, would you like some?"

"You could lower your attractiveness a bit, then you wouldn't attract so much attention."

Shapeshifting Grass?

Wu You searched through the memories in his mind.

Illusion Grass is a special medicinal plant that is not considered rare in the deep dark realm.

It looks similar to ordinary weeds, with slender leaves and a grayish-green color.

However, its roots contain a special sap. If you crush the shapeshifting herb, extract the juice, boil the juice, and drink it, you can transform into whatever shape you want within half an hour.

However, the effect is not perfect; even slightly higher-ranking ability users can see the inconsistencies. It's generally only good for fooling ordinary people.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, only some torchbearers who have been disfigured in battle or have appearance anxiety will exchange for some torches and use them in certain special and meaningful occasions.

For this reason, the very existence of this grass carries a touch of tragic comfort.

After searching for the information, Wu You immediately wanted to shake his head.

After all, compared to the trouble of attracting attention, he felt that crushing, juicing, and boiling the juice was a waste of time.

Moreover, half an hour for the transformation is too short.

But he paused.

Thinking that he would have to return to Lanhe in two days, Wu You stopped shaking his head.

His fingers tapped lightly twice on the counter, and something flashed in his silver eyes.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Then give me two."

Meanwhile, the torchbearers who were queuing to submit their medicinal resources naturally overheard the conversation between Wu You and Elder Wei. They all turned around curiously, wanting to see just how good-looking someone had to be to need the Illusion Grass to lower their appearance.

In their minds, the Shapeshifting Grass has only two uses: either to temporarily disguise oneself after being disfigured, or to temporarily become beautiful when one is too ugly.

But this was the first time they had ever heard of the phrase "lowering one's appearance."

Unfortunately, from their angle, they could only see a flawless back view with long white hair.

Old Wei nodded without asking any further questions. He turned around and tapped a few times on the light screen behind him.

A moment later, a torchbearer approached, carrying a small wooden box about the size of a palm. He placed the box on the counter, gently pushed it towards Old Wei, then stepped back and turned to leave.

Old Wei pushed the small wooden box on the counter to Wu You.

Wu You took the wooden box, put it in his trench coat pocket, then looked up, his silver eyes behind his sunglasses looking at Old Wei: "Old Wei, are you aware of the situation in those dangerous areas near the base?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Wei paused for a moment: "Is Xiao You referring to the situation last night where those zombie species from the danger zone ran back to the S-level restricted area?"

Wu You nodded, his tone becoming more serious: "This isn't quite normal."

Old Wei nodded in agreement: "It is indeed somewhat abnormal."

Then, Old Wei looked at Wu You with a strange expression: "But, Xiao You, you should be the one who understands the reason best."

Upon hearing this, Wu You immediately understood. It meant that Elder Wei had already seen through his Void Realm strength.

He was rushing here to check the situation in the various danger zones and didn't conceal his presence at all.

That's normal, though. He had been rushing along the way, anxious to check the situation in various danger zones, and hadn't concealed his aura.

If it were those torchbearers of lower rank who couldn't tell, that would be one thing, but Elder Wei is a True Yang Realm expert.

Besides, he hadn't even concealed his aura yet.

Wu You coughed lightly: "I just broke through last night, I haven't had a chance to tell you yet."

Old Wei smiled and shook his head, his tone filled with concern: "I didn't mean to blame you."

"It was a bit impulsive to go and clear out all the dangerous areas on such a large scale right after breaking through."

Wu You was a little embarrassed: "How did you know it was me who cleaned it?"

Upon hearing Wu You's question, Elder Wei did not answer directly. Instead, he thought for a moment before asking, "Little You, have you seen any torchbearers at the Void Realm or above in the stronghold?"

Wu You pondered for a moment.

He had seen some before in the Jiuli base in the real world, but in this Jiuli stronghold in the deep dark domain, apart from Elder Wei, the highest level he had seen was only eighth-level, and he had never seen a torchbearer in the ninth-level Void Realm here.

Wu You understood somewhat and asked, "Where have all the ninth-tier torchbearers gone?"

Old Wei replied directly, "There are small guard posts at the edge of each S-level restricted area."

"All torchbearers of rank nine and above are over there."

"That is the core battlefield for resisting the invasion of the zombie species."

He paused for a moment, as if to give Wu You time to process it: "You've just broken through, so you have a two-month buffer period."

"You'll need to go there in two months."

After listening to Elder Wei's explanation, Wu You understood why there were no torchbearers of the ninth rank or above in this stronghold.

So they were all on the edge of various S-class restricted areas.

Although he would need to go there in two months, Wu You was more concerned about something else.

He looked at Elder Wei: "Elder Wei, when will the zombies in those danger zones near the stronghold be able to recover?"

Upon hearing this, Old Wei's lips twitched, wondering why this child was so bloodthirsty: "He will usually recover in a few days."

Then Old Wei paused for a moment and added a sentence.

"Clearing one or two Class A danger zones at once is not a problem."

"These dangerous areas near the base are mainly for the torchbearers who haven't reached the Void Realm to hone their skills."

Upon hearing this, Wu You coughed lightly again.

"I understand, Mr. Wei."

For sustainable development, is it possible to clear only one or two Class A danger zones at a time?

Under normal circumstances, clearing one Class A danger zone can yield around 250 million experience points, so two Class A danger zones would yield around 500 million experience points.

500 million experience points a day is still acceptable.

Hopefully, the density of the zombie species here will decrease more slowly.

Otherwise, we'll have to go to other, deeper, darker areas to harvest.

Wu You thought to himself.
