In the apocalypse, you start with two knives, and all your equipment depends on drops.

Chapter 135 Lei Xuanqing

Qi Xian's destination was a completely abandoned urban village in Jingbei City.

Chi Heng and Yu Yao found a relatively clean and intact house there and hid inside with Lei Xuanqing.

Lei Xuanqing was already severely weakened, and even with Yu Yao's simple treatment, he was barely able to stay alive.

Then he ran into Feng Jiye again and was seriously injured by him once more.

Although he always appeared relaxed and was able to chat with Chi Heng.

But Yu Yao knew that he was almost at his last gasp.

It's just that she doesn't want people to worry, or she doesn't like to show her vulnerability, so she's forcing herself to hold on!

In order to prevent their mission target, whom they had gone to so much trouble to rescue, from dying here.

Yu Yao then used mutated pearls and various rare medicinal herbs to refine another physique-enhancing potion.

After Lei Xuanqing drank it, his condition visibly improved.

His gaze toward Yu Yao grew increasingly curious and bright.

Ignoring his gaze, Yu Yao stood up and said to Chi Heng, "I'm going out to clear out the zombies that have gathered outside."

"it is good."

After watching Yu Yao leave, Lei Xuanqing withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Chi Heng.

He asked, "When did you kidnap this little treasure? She has such a clean-cut air about her; she's not in your line of work, is she?"

Chi Heng glanced at him sideways.

"No matter how much you look down on them, it's still us in this line of work who saved you."

Lei Xuanqing was speechless. "What do you mean by that? When did I say anything that implied that?"

"Don't make a move on her."

Lei Xuanqing was even more speechless.

"What are you saying? Don't you know who I'm after? Come to think of it, you're my rival in love!"

Chi Heng remained indifferent throughout.

"What does it have to do with me?"

"..."

While Lei Xuanqing was speechless with choked words, Chi Heng asked again, "Let's get serious, how did you get arrested?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Xuanqing's expression instantly turned ugly.

"They disguised themselves as survivors with children and injected me with a drug that would make me lose my powers and become mentally unstable when I wasn't looking."

"child......"

Lei Xuanqing lowered his eyes.

"Hmm, this world... is getting more and more terrifying."

Chi Heng paused for a moment, then asked, "May I ask about the details after you were arrested?"

Lei Xuanqing smiled.

“What’s wrong with that? It’s just a matter of constantly having blood drawn, flesh cut off, and bones dug out. If you had come any later, they would have considered opening my head to see if there was anything like a crystal core and taking it away.”

Upon hearing this, Chi Heng narrowed his dark eyes slightly.

He recalled what the two people in the laboratory in western Beijing had said earlier.

Energy crystals.

He An's research on people with superpowers is getting deeper and deeper.

While Chi Heng was pondering, Lei Xuanqing asked again, "By the way, how did you know I was arrested?"

"We ran into Nie Zhuoying, and he hired us to help find you."

"What a coincidence?"

"It was indeed a coincidence. If it weren't for Nie Zhuoying's two subordinates suddenly throwing blood packs at us, revealing Nie Zhuoying's location, we should already be back at Thousand Soul Mountain. And you, your head would have been opened, and you would be completely dead."

It was clear that Chi Heng and Lei Xuanqing were very familiar with each other, and their conversation contained more jokes.

"...So, I should thank those two guys, right?"

"Thank the ground below, it's down there."

"That's so mean!"

Lei Xuanqing pouted with a look of disgust, then said seriously, "I'm not kidding you. During the few days I've been here, I've heard some useful information."

"what?"

"Those researchers didn't know that I have a strong drug resistance and often remain conscious after being injected with sedative drugs, so I overheard a lot of conversations that they thought were private."

"Hmm, for example."

"For example, I heard them mention that the big boss awakened a wood-type ability, but felt it wasn't strong enough, so he was looking for ways to become stronger."

Wood-type superpower.

Chi Heng subconsciously thought of the so-called divine tree seed.

It is indeed something that only wood-type ability users can do.

After Lei Xuanqing finished speaking, Chi Heng asked, "Is this also one of the reasons you were arrested?"

Lei Xuanqing is a level two lightning-type ability user.

Lightning is known for its power and destructive force. Could it be that the opponent also valued the strength of lightning?

"If I heard correctly, yes."

If that's the case, then those who have awakened powerful superpowers should all be living in fear!

As Chi Heng was pondering, he suddenly heard a loud clap of thunder coming from not far away.

Thinking of Yu Yao, who was outside clearing out zombies.

Chi Heng rushed out almost without hesitation.

Seeing this, Lei Xuanqing quickly got out of bed and followed him out.

After the two ran out, they saw Yu Yao standing in mid-air not far away, her hair flying in the wind.

A delicate, deep red mole between her brows appeared and disappeared amidst her fluttering hair, giving her an ethereal beauty that seemed to shift between fairy and demon.

She controlled five talismans with different attributes by forming hand seals.

As it spun rapidly, it surrounded a lightning-type zombie standing on a rooftop not far away, along with dozens of other zombies below.

Finally, he clenched his right hand, and all five talismans exploded simultaneously.

The five elemental energies interact and counteract each other, resulting in immense power.

Even though Lei Xuanqing and Chi Heng were standing so far away, they could feel the strong gust of wind from the explosion.

What about the lightning-type zombies that were in the middle of the explosion?

The originally ferocious level-three lightning-type zombie roared and fell from the roof during the explosion.

Yu Yao seized the opportunity, brandished her sword, and charged towards the lightning-type zombie by stepping on the crack in the air.

In the instant the bodies of the man and the corpse passed each other, a flash of light appeared.

When Yu Yao calmly stood on the roof where the lightning-type zombie had originally stood, holding a knife.

The opponent has been broken into three pieces.

It fell to the ground, looking utterly pathetic.

......

Seeing Yu Yao's decisive and powerful fighting style from afar, Lei Xuanqing's eyes widened in surprise, and he exclaimed to Chi Heng in admiration.

"Wow, that's a level three zombie! I thought she was just a little healer, but she's a violent healer! You've really struck gold! How can anyone have such good luck!"

Hearing this, Chi Heng's lips curled up slightly, his eyes full of smiles.

"Yes, meeting her was truly our... luck."

Lei Xuanqing turned his head in surprise, looking at the undisguised tenderness in Chi Heng's eyes, his gaze gradually turning to horror.

"What kind of face is that?!"

Chi Heng glanced at him, the gentle look vanished, leaving only a chill in his eyes.

Now, Lei Xuanqing understood completely.

"No, bro, you really like women?"

"..."

"I thought you..."

"Shut up!"

Seeing that Yu Yao had already jumped off the roof and was about to come back, Lei Xuanqing quickly shut his mouth in embarrassment.

"OK, OK~ I won't say, I won't say... Sigh... It's just so pitiful..."

Under Chi Heng's threatening gaze, Lei Xuanqing ultimately said nothing more.

......

Not long after Yu Yao returned, Qi Xian also rushed back.

As soon as he entered the room, he said, "Boss, the weather is really getting colder and colder!"

Qi Xian possesses the fire of Nanming, and is not afraid of the severe cold.

But that doesn't mean he lost his sense of temperature.

On the contrary, his perception is many times higher than that of ordinary people.

Chi Heng was helping Yu Yao pour water to wash her hands when he heard this and hummed in agreement.

While watching the commotion, Lei Xuanqing asked, "So it really has gotten colder! I thought my health had deteriorated!"

Qi Xian looked him up and down, then chuckled, "Dude, to be honest, you look much better now! Before... you weren't smart to begin with, and you looked even dumber!"

"Just say you're jealous of my muscles!"

"Forget it, I'd rather be jealous of Greyhound than you!"

Lei Xuanqing was stunned.

"...That's incredibly vulgar of you!"

Yu Yao, who was washing her hands, listened to the conversation between the two and glanced at Lei Xuanqing in surprise.

I really can't imagine what it would look like to have such a refined and handsome face paired with a body full of muscles!

Seeing this, Lei Xuanqing laughed and said, "Are you curious too, Sister Yu Yao? Don't worry, I'll practice it again and show you!"

Qi Xian quickly said, "Forget it, forget it, don't hurt our Xiao Qi's eyes."

After saying that, he quickly complained to Yu Yao, "Do you know what he used to look like? Such a small face, but a body bigger than Qi Feng! It was absolutely outrageous!"

Seemingly recalling Lei Xuanqing's previous appearance, Qi Xian didn't even bother to hide the disdain on his face.

Lei Xuanqing looked unconvinced.

"What do you know!" he said, then looked at Yu Yao. "Don't listen to him, he's an old general!"

Yu Yao chuckled, "Oh."

Lei Xuanqing narrowed his eyes. "Little sister, you don't believe me?"

"letter."

Lei Xuanqing was finally satisfied.

"That's good. I'll show you first when I've practiced it!"

Someone please step back for now, since this little girl is your savior!

Yu Yao waved her hand in refusal: "No need, thank you."

"Huh? You don't like it?!"

"Ah."

"I do not believe!"

"..."

Clearly, someone has fallen into a cognitive bias.

Yu Yao paused for a moment, then patiently explained, "I like it, but only if it's appropriately proportioned, not necessarily the bigger the better."

She had seen some muscular and handsome male stars when she watched TV with Luo Mei.

Both of them expressed their praise for it.

But the prerequisite is that the muscle lines must be beautiful and symmetrical enough.

Instead of muscular men in the gym, who prioritize size over aesthetics.

Of course, there is no intention to compare or belittle them; it's just their personal preferences.

Qi Xian clapped his hands.

“Right~” he said to Lei Xuanqing, “From what I know, not many girls actually like super muscular men. On the contrary, some men, tsk tsk, really like them... I’m sure that if someone has any sense of aesthetics, they definitely wouldn’t like you looking like you before!”

Yu Yao nodded slightly in agreement.

"......?......?......???"

Lei Xuanqing's eyes gradually widened.

He looked like his worldview had been ruthlessly shattered.

Clearly, in his past life, few people dared to tell him the truth.

"How could that be! But... she said she really likes it..."

He moved his finger, which was almost pointing at Chi Heng, and asked, "Whose muscles are those?"

Qi Xian raised an eyebrow.

"Tsk, still calling me 'that person'? That person has such a great figure! Is this the same dull-witted person you used to be??? You really have turned your brain into muscles!"

Lei Xuanqing unconsciously looked at Chi Heng.

Their gazes swept back and forth over him.

Yu Yao looked at Lei Xuanqing with a puzzled expression, then at Chi Heng.

Finally, he looked at Qi Xian.

"Who?"

Qi Xian laughed and said, "You'll find out later. What do you want to eat? I'll cook for you."

Yu Yao blinked, and although she was curious, she didn't press for details.

Instead, he said, "Anything is fine."

It's not that she has low standards, but rather that she wants to eat everything she can think of.

I really can't make a decision.

Qi Xian thought for a moment, "Do you want to eat tofu and silver fish hot pot?"

"Want to eat."

"Here, give me the ingredients."

"Okay~"

......
