Lord of End of World-Chapter 160

Chapter 160

Warning: Cliff

After two hours of rest, this group of three hundred people, composed of six bases, set off and three hundred other people stayed in town. If the group did not return smoothly before sunset, the three hundred people would follow after the traces left by the vehicles to the city and search for them.

Wucheng was originally not called Wucheng, but was called Donglai City. One year after the apocalypse started, it was inexplicably enveloped by a dense fog. The city could not be seen even from a meter away and the mist contained highly toxic poison. People only needed to take a small breath and they would be killed on the spot. But zombies liked this kind of mist very much. Just like people who liked smoking cigarettes, it made them very excited and they were addicted to it. The mist of Wucheng had the same appeal to zombies.

Over time, Wucheng had also become known as a death city, same as Ningcheng. However, unlike Ningcheng’s sealed state for all, Wucheng was a death city for human, but a holy place for zombies. Numerous zombies were seen in groups all year round, and their levels weren’t low either.

As a result, the leader of Huicheng didn’t think of concealing the discovery after getting the ear of rice, but called everyone to go to Wucheng to investigate. After all, if the discovery is confirmed to be true and they want to open up a large piece of land to grow food in this foggy city where zombies gather, there is not a single base in Country C that would dare. Of course, maybe the people from Ningcheng would. After all, they could use the king kong vine to create a safe area around them, but the strength of humans and zombies were constantly increasing. They believed that in the near future, king kong vines could not stop their advancement. Therefore, the best way to built a new home was to work together.

In recent months, the fog around Wucheng had gradually faded, and the outer suburbs of Wucheng had been revealed. The few rice ears were found in the farmland in the suburbs.

The long convoy was speeding on the highway and heading towards the suburbs. It was very smooth along the way and there was no zombies. This situation seemed a bit weird at these apocalyptic days, but everyone seemed not surprised, but rather a look of anticipation on their faces.

“Why didn’t we meet any zombies? Isn’t it said that Wucheng is the holy city of zombies?” Gong Lxiin tugged the corner of Song Haoran’s clothes and asked him in a low voice.

“After the fog subsided, the zombies also retreated to the center of the city with the fog. The suburbs are still safe. But in order there still might be traveling zombies, so we better not relax our guard.” Song Haoran replied in a low voice. He added with an amused tone, “I’ve told you to not to focus on cultivation all day long and study the information sent to you to grasp the current situation in Country C.”

Gong Lixin whispered and continued to work on his cultivation. After a year, although his internal force had been slowly increasing bit by bit, he had not broken through the peak of second level. Recently, there have been signs of a breakthrough. So, he closed his door and focused on it for a few days, but he encountered another bottleneck, so he had to stop. Fortunately, he already had experience in cultivation, otherwise he would have been caught up by the enemies.

Half an hour later, the convoy drove off the highway and up to the national highway, which was surrounded with mountain peaks on each side. The trees were shaded by larger ones as they fought for glory and the right to live.

Others immediately took a vigilant glance at them. There definitely was a lot of dangerous beasts in the dark here, but Gong Lixin and his group started to intensely secrete saliva and their eyes lit up. Meat! The mountains were full of meat! They thought so contrary to the rest of the convoy.

“Boss, on the way back, how about we go through the mountains and go hunting?” Ma Jun and Wang Tao leaned over from the back seat and whispered in Gong Lixin’s ear.

“I want to eat mutant wild boar. I can hear them grunting.” The young man licked his pink lips as he spoke with a frown. When talking about food, his mature and stable image immediately collapsed and shattered, revealing the true essence of a glutton.

“Good!” Ma Jun and Wang Tao swept away their previous listlessness and their faces looked excited and expectant instead. The people of Ningcheng were not short of food and drinks. Some plants and mutant animal meat that were highly toxic in the eyes of outsiders, were ordinary food in their eyes and were very delicious. If it was not for the sake of the health of the next generation, to be honest, the news of discovery of Wucheng being a Pure Land was really not that attractive to them.

Fortunately, the people of Ningcheng drove their three cars by themselves, making it so that the other bases didn’t hear their horrifying topic of conversation. While continuing their heated discussions, the convoy finally drove out of the mountains and into a small town. The houses in the town were dilapidated. There were large holes in the roof and outer walls. There were also claw prints left by zombies. The ground was scattered with bones. It could be seen that before the fog disappeared, this place was one of the zombies gathering sight.

The vehicle at the front of the convoy driving to Huicheng slowly came to a stop. The ability user and leader of Inaho jumped off the car and waved towards everyone behind him, beckoning everyone to follow him in. Passing through the complex spider web-like roadway, a large river about 30 meters wide appeared in front of them. The river water wasn’t as dark and turbid as other places. It was clean, very clear and had a translucent yellow light to it. Judging from the colour, this water should not be contaminated, but this needed to be tested to be sure.

On the bank of the river was a large piece of farmland. This farmland had long been abandoned. The rice and vegetable seeds that were left in the soil had sprouted on their own. It looked a little uneven, but the scene of their growth was gratifying.

Seeing such a scene, everyone was stunned and their increased breathing showed their inner excitement. It’s true, Country C actually had an unpolluted pure land! Everyone is saved!

Gong Lixin and his team members didn’t lose to their inner wolf because of everything in front of them. They hardened their faces, jumped off the field ridge, took out the plastic bag they had prepared in their arms, scattered them around, and dug a piece of soil randomly into the bag. Isn’t the soul supposed to be polluted? What you see and hear with your eyes and ears aren’t always true. Long before they came here, Jin Shangyu, who had received the news, sent a wind ability user to bring these bags to them. She asked that all samples of this land should not be missed and brought back to her to test.

Jin Shanghui ran away long after entering the town. After all, he was a zombie. Although he was extremely attached to Gong Lixin, the wildness hidden in his bones could not be wiped away. Fortunately, Gong Lixin did not restrain him and let him move freely. However, the more Jin Shanghui let go of Gong Lixin, the more he was attached to the other. Even if the life outside was free, he would take the initiative to come back to the other person time after time. As for whether he killed people outside, this was not within the scope of Gong Lixin’s consideration.

He Jin and Song Haoran each took out a small bottle and walked upstream and downstream to take water samples. Gong Lixin walked into the paddy field, stopped and picked a golden grain of rice and placed it in his mouth to chew.

“How does it taste?” Dou Heng stood behind him and whispered to him.

“It’s very fragrant and sweet. You try it.” Gong Lixin narrowed his eyes in pleasure. He ground another rice husk and stuffed a few grains of rice into Dou Heng’s mouth.

The young man’s warm fingertips slipped over his lips and touched the tip of his tongue, almost as if he could taste the other’s skin, there was a faint taste of saltiness left. Dou Heng was stunned for a long time. The violet eyes became dark and he forgot to chew the rice grains in his mouth. He unconsciously raised his hands and covered his chest in order to prevent his heart from jumping faster and faster.

Just when the two were in their own world and smiled, Song Haoxuan, who was standing close by, made a faint gesture to Zheng Chaohe. Zheng Chaohe nodded and suddenly disappeared in place. Several base leaders who saw this strange scene remained silent.

Half a second later, Zheng Chaohe, who had disappeared in place, appeared ghostly next to Gong Lixin, and a bottle of blue liquid that had been taken out was dumped on the other party.

Space ability users could hide in their space after encountering danger. Wherever they go in is wherever they come out. However, after becoming a fifth-level ability user, the ability of space ability users will not be so perfunctory. They could teleport, push the space ability outward and these special skills would push them from the ranks of the weakest ability users to the strongest ability users, becoming one of the top players.

This teleportation did not make the slightest fluctuations in the air and even Gong Lixin, who had extraordinary five senses, didn’t notice his approach. The blue liquid feel on his skin and his internal force flowed in his meridian, flew out of his body unchecked. Gong Lixin was frightened and raised his hand to attack Zheng Chaohe, but Zheng Chaohe, who was prepared for it, immediately hid in his space making the other attack an empty space.

Dou Heng’s eyes cracked open and he wanted to step forward to check on Gong Lixin’s situation, but was hit by a hot ball of fire from Song Haoxuan 20 meters away. Dou Heng hurriedly pushed away from Gong Lixin, raised his hand to block the fireball, but Zheng Chaohe seized this gap. He appeared suddenly next to Gong Lixin, who was pale and was focusing on adjusting his breathing. With his hand raised, a forcefield appeared around and enveloped Gong Lixin. However, Dou Heng was pushed away by the appearance of this forcefield and pushed straight to the edge of the field before he could stop himself.

When everyone looked at it again, they saw a forcefield with a radius of ten meters inside the rice field that trapped Gong Lixin in. Dou Heng rushed towards the forcefield, but seemed to only hit a wall without being able to enter. He tried attacking it with lightning, but to no avail. The people of Ningcheng that had scattered around, saw this and quickly ran towards the forcefield.

Song Haoxuan sneered, jumped into the field, walked into the forcefield without hindrance and stood side by side with Zheng Chaohe, who retreated to the edge of the forcefield, as far away as possible from Gong Lixin.

If it was any other ability user, once they were splashed with the blue liquid, they would have fallen long ago, but Gong Lixin was different from them. Gong Lixin’s internal forced was controlled by his Dantian and the internal forced was being pulled by an external factor. As long as his Dantian was running, he could prevent he loss of his internal force. As a result, he recovered from this weak state in less than half a minute.

However, this half a minute was enough and he had been trapped by Zheng Chaohe.

Seeing his friends trying to rescue him using their skills outside the forcefield, Gong Lixin looked at Zheng Chaohe with cold eyes, raised his hand to move out, but found that his hand felt heavy and he could not lift it up. There was also a feeling of heavy weight pressing down on his shoulders and his feet seemed to have sunk an inch into the soft soil.

“This is…the effect of bringing the space ability outside?” Gong Lixin said harshly.

It turned out that the strongest ability of space ability users that he predicted was really achievable, but unfortunately, although the thought of it and secretly guarded against it, he didn’t expect that space ability users had such a stunt as teleportation. If he could have broken through the third-level of Reverse Spirit cultivation earlier and open up his sixth sense, Zheng Chaohe’s sneak attack would have definitely failed. Now, he was trapped and could only blame his inferior skills! Thinking like that, Gong Lixin gritted his teeth and realized for the first time the limit of what he could do.

“Young Master Gong’s understanding of ability user’s power is really deep. That’s right, this is my space ability used towards the outside world. Or, you can call it the ‘gravity field’. In my field, I can apply gravity to specific targets at will. Although the skill doesn’t look gorgeous, but it’s very practical. Unable to freely move, Young Master Young rampages are merely sandbags waiting to be beaten. Hahaha~” Zheng Chaohe’s smile looked handsome, but held a strong malicious intent.

Song Haoxuan didn’t talk as much as Zheng Chaohe did. He raised his hand and formed a thick bolt of lightning. Song Haoran and the others outside the forcefield were so anxious that their eyes turned red as they desperately used their abilities to break the forcefield. Thunder, fire, wind, strength, ice abilities bloomed all over the rice fields. The members of the other bases surrounding the field were forced back by the pressure released by these top experts and withdrew a few hundred meters before they could themselves. They were puzzled.

Things weren’t going as planned, so how would it end later? They hoped that Master Song successfully captured Gong Lixin, otherwise they would all die.
