Chapter 42: Ability, Cost, and Unknown Remains
Yan Hongying, Yan Qi, and the old farmer joined hands.
In an instant, he slashed a zombie that entered the shelter.
"Martial arts?"
Jiang Sheng looked at Yan Hongying, who was holding a long knife in each hand, with some surprise.
This zombie that was cut apart in an instant died at her hands.
"It shouldn't be ......"
"The pinnacle of pure martial arts is before the sea of qi, where flesh and blood build the foundation."
"Yan Hongying doesn't have the slightest breath in her body to enter the Qi Sea Realm, and it is impossible for martial arts to achieve this level."
"That means that these two knives may be the super powers she has mastered in this world?"
"It's kind of interesting, indeed."
Jiang Sheng was condescending, and he stood on the roof of the building closest to the shelter.
The Hundred Soul Banner floated overhead, taking in everything in the sanctuary.
After neatly disposing of a zombie, the expressions on Yan Hongying and the others' faces didn't look excited.
Their expressions were solemn, and survivors kept climbing up from the entrance to the bunker behind them.
Under the protection of Yan Hongying and the others, they immediately went to the nearest armament warehouse and took the large weapons that could not be brought into the bunker in their hands.
Neither the outer trenches nor the firing points were functioning as they should.
The zombies on the periphery broke through one after another and entered the shelter.
Yan Hongying did not choose to pick up the shelter's defenses again.
She concentrated all the forces in the shelter that could afford to fight near the entrance to the bunker.
Facing the zombies killed from the surroundings, she snorted softly, and Yan Qi and the old farmer faced a zombie that climbed over with great speed.
Jiang Sheng can finally clearly see the abilities of the three of them.
The long knife in Yan Hongying's hands did not have the slightest arc, and it seemed that the system of this knife was like a Tang horizontal knife.
There is a kind of classical domineering.
The two knives in her hands were a little shocking.
Even the extremely strong zombie didn't dare to face Yan Hongying's blade at all.
As for Yan Qi and the old farmer, their abilities are relatively straightforward.
Yan Qi is a model of physical strengthening.
He is armed with a special hammer, and when facing zombies, he also opens and closes, and wins purely with strength.
The old peasant's talent is within the realm of the flame system.
He shrouded the zombies through the smoke emitted by the dry tobacco stick in his hand.
The zombies shrouded in smoke not only greatly hindered their own movements, but the smoke was also able to ignite through the old farmer's dry tobacco stick.
Except for these three people, the abilities of the rest of the people were lackluster in Jiang Sheng's eyes.
The powerhouses who possess the ability in this world, the range of abilities they use is not beyond the power of the demon world after all.
After seeing their ability to fight, what made Jiang Sheng even more curious now was how they maintained this ability for themselves.
It is different from the magic element in Jiang Sheng's body.
There is nothing like aura in these people's bodies.
Although this world did have very thin aura, Jiang Sheng didn't see any trace of using these auras from their bodies now.
Their abilities are in Jiang Sheng's eyes.
It's basically similar to rootless duckweed.
Without roots, it is impossible to maintain a fighting state for a long time.
It was just half an hour after a high-intensity fight.
Yan Hongying and the others began to show obvious fatigue.
Survivors in the shelter are now suffering casualties.
Although the number of casualties is not large, the appearance of these casualties means that the scene they have to deal with next may become more dangerous.
"From this point of view, their use of their own abilities is more like what they have accumulated by means that I don't know, using their daily cultivation or some other way."
"When it's time to use it, just use the abilities you've accumulated."
"The use and accumulation of these abilities doesn't have much to do with what's going on in their own bodies?"
"In this way, it's like there's a big network in the sky of this world that covers the entire world, and everyone's abilities can usually be stored on this network, and they can be summoned when it's needed."
"It's a feeling...... It's really weird......"
Jiang Sheng looked at the clouds a hundred kilometers away, thoughtful.
……
"Where's Aya? Haven't you contacted the Lord of the Two Realms yet? Yan Hongying exhausted all her strength, and her two knives came out together, cutting the neck of the zombie in front of her, she asked with a gasp.
Sweat wet her bangs, and strands of hair clinging to her face.
Her flushed cheeks, tachycardia, and the obvious heaving of her neck.
All of them show that she has actually reached her limit.
"Two Realms?" Yan Qi was panting, the muscles in his arms were jumping suddenly, and the special hammer looked as if it had been bent alive.
"You don't really think that those pretending to be ghosts will solve our current situation, do you?"
"It's a zombie tide! The tide of corpses is at least three times more violent than the original! ”
"They didn't show up before, and they probably ran away a long time ago."
"Waiting for them to help? That's a fucking miracle! ”
……
Although Yan Qi scolded in his mouth.
But he actually had expectations in his heart.
They've really reached their limits.
In this tide of corpses, every minute and every second is torment for them.
It's only been an hour since the zombie tide erupted.
According to past experience, every time a corpse tide comes, it will last for more than half a day!
Quite a while?
In the way they are now.
After half an hour, wait for them to collect the body, where is the need to wait for half a day?
"Senior, I know you are still there, I implore you to come to the rescue, we are willing to pay any price!"
Yan Hongying ignored Yan Qi's nonsense.
She looked sincere and shouted loudly, now the existence of the 'Two Realms' is their last straw.
"At what cost?"
A fluttering voice suddenly appeared in the shelter.
Including Yan Qi and the old farmer, no one found out how the voice came from.
Even after the sound appeared, they couldn't locate the sound.
Obviously, the voice sounded right in front of me, but there was no figure in sight.
This situation is really strange to the extreme.
And with that voice appeared.
The four zombies around them who were climbing over the fence and breaking directly into the shelter were suddenly frozen in place.
A terrible green flame burned in their bodies.
The body, which was originally as hard as steel, melted away like a block of wax under the scorching green flames.
It's only a few breaths.
The four zombies had been completely reduced to a puddle of ashes, as if they had never existed.
At this time, not only Yan Qi, Yan Hongying, the old farmer, and the survivors who were preparing to summon up the courage to face those zombies outside, were all stunned.
"This ......"
They looked at the scene in front of them and wanted to scream in surprise.
But when you open your mouth, you can only spit out one word.
"Hiss......"
Yan Qi suddenly gasped.
As one of the top combat forces in the three sanctuaries.
He naturally knew very well what kind of terrifying level the zombies in front of him had reached.
At this time, he knew better that the strong man he had never met and had only stood in the shadows.
What kind of terrifying realm has his strength reached!
"Juniors don't use their brains when they talk, don't blame the seniors, the juniors will kowtow to you!"
Yan Qi didn't hesitate to kneel in the direction where the voice came from.
Compared to his dignity alone, the more than 300 lives in the entire shelter are undoubtedly too much heavier.
It must not be because of what he said before, which affected this strong man who was still in the shadows.
This is a new way of life for them after the end of the world.
Jiang Sheng didn't take Yan Qi's words to heart.
He didn't choose to take a shot, not to save anyone's life.
It's just that this is the best choice when the benefits are maximized.
Yan Hongying swallowed hard.
She was slightly relieved to see that Yan Qi had not been ignited with that terrifying flame.
"We didn't know what the seniors needed before, but no matter what the seniors needed, as long as we can take it out, manpower and material resources, we will go all out, if the seniors don't mind, these three hundred people in our shelter can all listen to the seniors in the future, let the seniors drive!"
Yan Hongying is very smart.
Although she had never seen Jiang Sheng, she also had some superficial judgments about Jiang Sheng's personality from Aya's mouth and her treatment of Yan Qi.
Even if nothing else is mentioned first, at least Jiang Sheng himself is not an unreasonable and extremely brutal person.
Being able to follow such a strong person is already a great luck for a small shelter like them struggling in the apocalypse.
Yan Hongying has seen too many people who have completely released the flaws in her personality after the apocalypse.
Cruelty, darkness, things that cannot be described in words, she has seen too much.
Today, the moral standard in this land has been pulled to a very low level.
What could she ask for?
Jiang Sheng is not interested in the living, they are too weak.
He said coldly, "I'm not interested in you, it's just a simple deal. ”
"Take out what makes my heart flutter and exchange it for your lives."
Yan Hongying immediately made a decision, and directly commanded: "Quick!" Take out all that you have on you, and leave nothing behind, including everyone in the bunker, no matter what! ”
"Quick!"
Yan Hongying's expression was unprecedentedly stern.
Those survivors who had just breathed a sigh of relief and were wondering what the origin of this strong man who did not show up was suddenly startled by Yan Hongying's voice.
They subconsciously began to carry out Yan Hongying's orders.
At the same time, someone rushed back to the bunker and conveyed Yan Hongying's order to the past.
The crowd began to feel all sorts of things out of their bodies.
From all kinds of battle materials, to the medicines they carried with them, and even the souvenirs that many people kept from the beginning of the apocalypse.
Yan Hongying said: "Senior, our strength is too weak, I really don't know what can make the seniors excited, now all our belongings are here, in the entire shelter, no matter what is useful, as long as it is useful to the seniors, the seniors can take it away." ”
Jiang Sheng on the top of the building shook his head and sighed.
To be honest, he didn't know what he could gain from this world.
Soul and merit, in fact, this is already a great harvest in itself.
Anything else, there shouldn't be anything else that can make him feel excited.
Sticking to this deal, in fact, Jiang Sheng didn't want to miss any opportunity in his favor because of his arrogance.
What if?
But now looking at Yan Hongying's reaction, Jiang Sheng knew that he was probably thinking too much.
These people are so difficult to deal with even the zombies of the Qi Sea Realm.
How could there be anything about them that was valued by the big devil who was already about to get married?
But since Yan Hongying said so.
Jiang Sheng was not polite.
Shrouded in the Hundred Soul Banners, he began to scrutinize the sanctuary for anything that might be of use to him.
"Huh?"
"What is this?"
"How can there be such a strong spiritual aura?!"
Jiang Sheng, with the assistance of the Hundred Soul Banners, his mind enveloped the entire shelter.
He didn't have any expectations for this ordinary shelter, but he actually noticed something in the shelter that shocked him.
It was a vine that had completely died.
It is now hanging on the wall of the bunker, and there are some small dried flowers of various colors hanging underneath.
Apparently only for decorative purposes.
Standing near the vine was a small girl who was not very inconspicuous.
Jiang Sheng didn't feel any spiritual fluctuations from her.
He turned his attention back to the vine.
He didn't know what it was, but he knew for sure.
This piece of vine can definitely be compared with the heavenly treasures in the Demon Dao World!
Although there is no aura left, the spirituality that was once contained in it is absolutely impossible to fake!
