Chapter 36

He Weidong did not understand what the higher-ups were thinking, but he agreed with them. He had benefited a lot from absorbing Origin Crystals to cultivate. The feeling of constantly strengthening himself made him feel like he had become Superman from the movies!

Of course, he couldn’t be as exaggerated as Superman. This was just a mental description.

Currently, all the monsters in the world were constantly becoming stronger. He Weidong integrated his experience of constantly becoming stronger and believed that in the future, those monsters could even resist guns and cannons!

Even if the monsters could not use their physical body to resist such weapons, they could still rely on their reflexes and speed to dodge. For example, He Weidong could now roughly see the afterimage of a pistol bullet traveling through the air, but it was still unrealistic for him to dodge it.

He Weidong took out his phone and dialed the number recorded in the information.

“Sorry, the number you have dialed has been turned off…”

He Weidong frowned and then relaxed.

Thinking about it, this person was a cautious person. In the apocalypse, for one’s own safety, communication devices that could suddenly react such as mobile phones should indeed be turned off. Otherwise, it would not be worth it if one died because of this.

He Weidong thought for a moment and said to the soldier beside him, “Get someone to check the surveillance cameras by the roadside and find out the detailed route of this person. Find out where he went and try your best to contact him. Tell him that the Eastern Military Region is recruiting Evolvers to form a special unit. If he is willing to join us, he can be the leader of this special unit.”

The soldier was a little stunned, but as a soldier, following orders was his principle. He did not show his surprise and left after shouting, “Yes, sir.”

…

After two hours of sprinting, Ling Yichen finally arrived near his destination. Along the way, he also obtained a lot of Origin Crystals.

Ling Yichen shook his body. After a long period of fighting and running, his muscles were a little sore. However, with the recovery ability of his Immortal Talent, he would recover quickly.

Jinling High School was one of the best high schools in Jinling. Ling Yichen’s grades were also among the top in junior high school. However, after his parents passed away, he was no longer motivated to study.

The school gate was open. The security guard must have opened it when he was about to escape.

Ling Yichen was accompanied by a group of insects. Their bodies were stained with dirty blood, making them look murderous.

According to his rough memory, the vampire would appear soon.

In the past, Ling Yichen had teamed up with a group of Awakened ones to kill the vampire. Just like Ling Yichen, these Awakened ones had dug out the heads of the zombie students in the school and used the Origin Crystals inside to cultivate.

There was a lot of food stored in the school canteen, enough for the students to eat for a few days. After all, more than half of the students and teachers in the school had become zombies and then corpses lying on the ground.

Ling Yichen quietly walked in. The surrounding ground was filled with zombie corpses whose heads had been dug out. Ling Yichen put them into the Insect Nest Demiplane one by one and quickly turned them into organic matter.

Ling Yichen did not immediately use the organic matter that was constantly piling up. Instead, he planned to keep them for now. Perhaps he would need the organic matter today.

If Ling Yichen remembered correctly, the spatial rift that produced the vampire appeared in the school building. However, he didn’t know where it was exactly. When he arrived back then, the vampire had already moved from its original spot.

Therefore, Ling Yichen decided to put away all the other insects except the Hidden Shadow Spiders. He would release all the insects after the spatial rift that produced the vampire appeared.

Otherwise, if they split up to search, there was a high chance that some insects would be killed by the vampire.

Ling Yichen walked around. He had nothing to do for the time being and was leisurely searching for corpses in the teaching building.

Speaking of which, the insects could really prevent the spread of the plague. All the corpses could be dealt with effectively. It was quite “environmentally friendly”.

When Ling Yichen reached the second floor of the teaching building, someone suddenly called out.

“Ling Yichen!”

At the end of the corridor, five people were greeting him. There were four boys and one girls. Ling Yichen remembered that these people had also become Awakened ones after the apocalypse. However, when they were dealing with the vampire, Ling Yichen used them as scapegoats to eventually kill the vampire.

Ling Yichen was a little surprised. Shouldn’t these students be staying in the dormitory building at this time? Why did these few run out?

Could it be because of the butterfly effect that happened after he was reborn? Did it cause the trajectory of history to be wrong?

“I didn’t expect you to come back. That’s great!”

The girl among the five seemed a little surprised. The other four also smiled.

Ling Yichen felt a little strange. Was he on good terms with these five people?

According to his memory, he should not have known these five people before the apocalypse.

Among the five of them, one of them was an Evolver like Ling Yichen. His name was Wang Chengye, who had the Rock Giant Talent. Like Ling Yichen’s Immortality Talent, they were both superb talents. It could petrify one’s body, greatly increasing one’s defense and strength, just like rocks. However, their speed and agility would decrease.

In terms of appearance, as long as he used the Rock Giant Talent, he would become similar to the Stone Golem in Fantastic Four.

If Wang Chengye had not been used by Ling Yichen, Ling Yichen would not have been able to kill the vampire that was of a higher level.

Speaking of which, Wang Chengye was the son of Ling Yichen’s form teacher, Wang Wang. Ling Yichen was on bad terms with Wang Chengye’s father, but Wang Chengye seemed to be expressing goodwill to Ling Yichen.

If he did not consider the butterfly effect after his rebirth, Wang Wang should’ve been dead by now. After being bitten by a zombie, being infected by the zombie virus, and becoming a member of the zombies, he died. At that time, it was Ling Yichen who personally killed the zombie Wang Wang.

Ling Yichen simply asked, “Do we know each other?”

Wang Chengye smiled and said, “Indeed, we don’t know each other. However, it’s not too late to get to know each other now. Now that it’s so chaotic outside, it’s not a bad thing for everyone to be friends.”

Heh, that also depended on who he was making friends with.

The reason why Ling Yichen had plotted against Wang Chengye before his rebirth was because Wang Chengye was an unreliable person. Although there was no direct evidence to prove that Wang Chengye had tricked him, Ling Yichen could tell from everything that he had revealed. That was why he had acted like that when he was dealing with the vampire.

Every step in the apocalypse had taught Ling Yichen what it meant to be ruthless and sinister. He had also understood what it meant by “teach me to betray the world, but don’t teach the world to betray me!”

Ling Yichen smiled calmly and said, “Forget it. I’m not interested in being friends with you.”
