Apocalypse: Become stronger by absorbing flames at the start; my name is the Flame Emperor.

the next day.

In an abandoned, unfinished building.

Seventy or eighty people were gathered together, distributing the food they had risked their lives to collect the day before.

Most of these people are at level seven or eight, and there are seven at level ten.

"Be frugal, give everyone a little and then send them out to find food."

The man with the thick beard at the head of the group frowned.

Yesterday, I led a team out to scavenge for food, but we were surrounded by a large group of zombies. If I hadn't betrayed that woman...

He probably won't make it back alive.

"Brother, that woman is a pity."

"Yes, she was so beautiful, and before I even had a chance to taste her, she was fed to a zombie."

"Her technique is somewhat useful. If it weren't for the critical situation yesterday, we wouldn't have been willing to abandon her."

The group at the head of the group ate while sighing with admiration.

Thinking of that woman, they couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Although Ye Piaopiao was dressed in sportswear, her flowing long hair and exquisitely beautiful face were already enough to make people drool.

Wearing glasses gives him an even more aloof and arrogant air.

It evokes a strong desire to conquer.

"If I had known, I would have taken care of her a few days ago!" The second brother licked his lips.

"Stop thinking about it, let's think about where to get something to eat."

Just then, a commotion was heard in the unfinished building, and everyone looked towards the stairwell.

Then, a man and three women slowly walked up.

"Sister Piao Piao, it's Sister Piao Piao."

"Sister Piao Piao, you...you're still alive!"

Everyone present looked uneasy when they saw Ye Piaopiao.

Many people felt ashamed and lowered their heads, not daring to look at her.

"Piaopiao, you're not dead, that's wonderful!" The bearded man greeted her with a smile.

A group of people followed behind him.

The second brother smiled and looked Ye Piaopiao up and down, his eyes filled with naked desire.

"Heh, you guys are so hypocritical."

Ye Piaopiao sneered.

"Piaopiao, yesterday's situation was critical, and besides, you survived, didn't you?"

"Brother, why waste so much breath on her? She's just an awakened support character, why be so polite to her?"

The second brother pushed everyone away.

He sneered, "I was actually worried you were dead, but you've delivered yourself right to my doorstep. Well then, I won't be polite."

"From today onwards, as long as you make me and the boss comfortable, you'll be guaranteed to live a life of luxury and never have to risk your life to search for supplies again."

Before Ye Piaopiao could even speak, a voice immediately came from the crowd.

"Big brother, I can serve you too, please don't make me go out to search for supplies, okay?"

"I can do it too..."

Several ordinary-looking women squeezed out of the crowd, eagerly seeking flattery from the eldest and second eldest.

"Get out of here! Don't you even look in the mirror and see what you look like?"

Enraged, the second brother kicked several women to the ground, then turned to look at Ye Piaopiao.

"Haha! See that? The terms I'm offering you are what countless women would kill for."

"You will die!"

A cold glint flashed in Ye Piaopiao's eyes as she looked at the bearded man and said, "You kill him yourself, and all I want is one of your arms."

"Haha, boss, did you hear that? This woman doesn't know what's good for her, what are you still hesitating about?"

The bearded man also had a gloomy expression, but he was quite intelligent.

Yesterday, Ye Piaopiao was chased by five or six thousand zombies, but today she can still appear here alive and kicking.

It must have been this man who saved her.

To be able to save someone from the jaws of thousands of zombies unscathed must mean he is incredibly strong; at least, he himself couldn't do it.

"Brother, this is a misunderstanding, don't you think?"

Thinking of all this, the bearded man cupped his hands in greeting to Lin Yu. He wasn't stupid to become the leader of a small group.

In the apocalypse, those without brains usually die the fastest.

Lin Yu was taken aback upon hearing this.

How did this get dragged into me? Looks like this guy isn't just a muscle-bound simpleton after all.

"Piaopiao will handle this herself; I'm just an observer."

Lin Yu smiled.

He pulled Liu Shiyun and Ru Ke to the side, pulled over a stool, and sat down without any hesitation.

A handful of melon seeds had appeared in the hands of the three of them without them noticing.

They started eating it with great relish.

The bearded man took a deep breath and looked at Ye Piaopiao.

"Piaopiao, these are the foods we collected yesterday. Take as much as you want, and let's just forget about it, okay?"

These words caused an uproar among the crowd.

"Boss, are you crazy?"

"Boss, we went through a lot of trouble to get this food, and many people died in the process."

"Yeah, if we give it to her, what will we eat?"

Upon hearing the word "food".

Those who had previously felt guilty towards Ye Piaopiao all jumped out and voiced their opposition.

Their change of expression is faster than turning the pages of a book.

Their ugly faces were on full display at this moment.

"Heh! Die!"

Ye Piaopiao was too lazy to waste words and didn't want to engage in verbal sparring with them, so she drew her long sword.

"Are you really going to do this?"

A murderous glint appeared in the bearded man's eyes.

"[Spell: Double the speed!]"

Ye Piaopiao stopped talking, directly swung her sword, and wrote a double spell on herself, applying it to herself.

Instantly, her speed attribute surged.

Her figure flashed by.

"Kill her! I want..."

The bearded man shouted sternly.

However, before he could finish speaking, he found that he could no longer make a sound.

A bloodstain slowly appeared on his neck.

"Wh...when..."

He clutched his neck tightly, but could not stop the blood from gushing out.

Everyone was taken aback.

They only saw Ye Piaopiao move slightly, but they didn't expect her to slit their boss's throat.

Of everyone present, only Lin Yu and his two companions clearly saw Ye Piaopiao's actions.

No one else, including the bearded man, saw when she drew her sword.

Even with his throat cut, he didn't react and was still talking, which shows how fast Ye Piaopiao was.

At level one, her speed was 226 points. After the spell was doubled, it reached 678 points.

The strongest level 10 bearded creature here only has a speed of 55 points, which is more than ten times slower.

"Bang!"

His body fell heavily to the ground, his voice like the call of death, striking everyone's hearts.

The second brother had long lost his previous arrogance and now looked fearful.

As he retreated into the crowd behind him, he shouted, "Attack! Whoever kills her, I'll make him the boss!"

At this moment, he was filled with extreme fear. Even the strongest leader had been instantly killed. How could he possibly survive?

This woman, who was so weak before, was just a support character.

Why have they become so strong now?

Little did he know that Ye Piaopiao had always been stronger than them; she was just hiding her true abilities.

Ye Piaopiao moved again.

She turned on those who had abandoned her!

One sword, one kill!

It was as easy as killing a chicken or slaughtering a dog.

Even those few who had awakened their talents were no match for her; the difference in their attributes was too great.

They didn't even have time to use their talents before their throats were slit.

"An S-rank Awakened is a completely different concept from those below S-rank; the gap is enormous, like a chasm."

"Similarly, rank is also very important. Level one and level ten are not even in the same league."

Lin Yu and the other two looked at Ye Piaopiao's blurry figure and sighed.

"Sister Piao Piao, I had no choice, please don't kill me..."

Some people cried and begged for mercy.

However, all that responded to him was a flash of sword light.

More ruthless and decisive than men.
