I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade-Chapter 1475 - 353: The End of the Apocalypse Approaches (Part 3)
Ogamoto Reiyi seemed ready to kneel and kowtow to the king; at his current stage, consuming the Creator’s crystal is an immense enhancement for him, significantly boosting his strength.
The Lord of Deception glanced at the female Creator, shattered into pieces of flesh, then silently looked at the king’s back.
At this moment, he noticed the king’s temperament had changed.
Previously, aside from the king’s appearance and height changing daily, his character was relatively immature. After all, it takes a normal person years to grow to this point, and for the king, it took only a month or so, without exposure to more things, so a tender character is quite normal.
But now, the king was different.
His methods had become gradually brutal, seeming gentle on the surface, but deep inside, hiding a demon.
The Lord of Deception’s view of the king silently changed; previous counsel could not continue, it was now all about aligning with the king’s thoughts, obeying his every command.
Today’s king is no longer what he used to be.
Suddenly.
All the Creators gazed afar, seeing figures appear in the distance, not hurried but slowly approaching them.
Looking closely.
It was clear they were not humans but Creators just like them.
What were these Creators coming here for?
This was beyond thought; their arrival couldn’t possibly mean challenging the king but rather surrendering to his mighty presence, here to seek allegiance.
If anyone was most worried now, it was definitely Ogamoto Reiyi, realizing the Creators he encountered had an unbelievable capacity for flattery; their ability was astoundingly earth-shattering, enough to make anyone exclaim in terror.
...
Days later.
Southwest region, a barren wilderness.
Pang Yuan, clad in war armor, swung his giant axe, directly cleaving a Powerful Zombie in two, its massive body thunderously collapsing. He raised his foot; the metal sole crushed the zombie’s head, and a crystal rolled out.
"I’ve cleared things up here?" Pang Yuan shouted.
"Same here," Zhu Lei responded.
"Here too."
Ji Qiuyue glanced at the myriad zombie corpses, not minding them, instead moving closer to her companions.
Pang Yuan took bread and bottled water from his backpack, tossing them to the others.
"Professor Ji, this area seems to be the last with zombies; do you think those elsewhere have all been exterminated by Lin Fan?"
Pang Yuan still found it hard to believe.
Ji Qiuyue replied, "Yes, mostly exterminated by him."
She still couldn’t fathom how Lin Fan became so formidable, going beyond imagination; no matter how, he’s the beacon of hope for humanity’s future.
Zhu Lei, biting his bread, said, "I never thought I’d make it this far."
He was grateful to Ji Qiuyue and Pang Yuan for taking him in, helping him find his worth.
Without them leading, he’d have no idea about his future; maybe he might be dead somewhere now.
Ji Qiuyue said, "Don’t mention it; your contribution is pivotal in ending the apocalypse."
Zhu Lei sheepishly scratched his head, "I wouldn’t dare claim credit."
As they rested for a moment before moving on, a human figure appeared in the distance, instantly putting them on alert.
"Don’t worry, it’s Lin Fan."
With her keen eye, Ji Qiuyue quickly recognized the distant figure.
Unexpectedly encountering Lin Fan here.
Pang Yuan and Zhu Lei breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Fan was the person they most wanted to meet, a being akin to a deity in their hearts.
Soon, Lin Fan walked up to them, greeting with a smile, "Professor Ji, didn’t expect to meet you here."
He nodded towards Pang Yuan and Zhu Lei as a greeting; these two had been following Professor Ji, marking a right path, steadfastly pursuing hope.
"Indeed, didn’t expect to see you here."
Ji Qiuyue smiled; now her mood was good, unlike before when she was burdened with worries—past apocalypse pressures had made her feel futureless.
But now... that feeling had long vanished.
Why had they come here, except other places were hard to encounter zombies, only leading them here to the southwest region.
Lin Fan saw their mental state had improved since they parted at the photo-taking event.
Clearly, the current apocalypse had much less impact on them.
Not like previous pressures anymore.
Back then, the Qin Group and the Mutant Organization’s existence really weighed on Ji Qiuyue, striving to find them, but now both have been eliminated, greatly reducing pressure.
Not to mention, zombies had almost been completely cleared.
What troubles remained?
The four sat together, casually chatting.
"Professor Ji, I think you should return to the shelter; the southwest region is almost cleaned up by me, no need to stay outside anymore," Lin Fan said.
Ji Qiuyue smiled, "You’re right, really no need anymore; I think it’s time to return to the shelter and see Grandpa Xia."
Once upon a time, Professor Ji would have surely refused, having her own ideas; if she had listened to others, she wouldn’t have injected Lucky Cells into herself.
Thus no longer purely human, becoming a Mutant.
Regarding the Mutant experiments, it seemed Ji Qiuyue was indeed the first to experiment on herself.
