Rebirth: Love in the Apocalypse-Chapter 175: Night Shadows 1
Neither Qin Wu nor Mo Chenxuan had had time to closely examine their body after suddenly advancing.
At this time, Mo Chenxuan sat cross-legged and sank his consciousness into his power core.
A moment later, he gasped and subconsciously clenched his hands.
Before the sudden advancement, Mo Chenxuan had five abilities: brain enhancement, spiritual ability, lightning ability, fire ability, and earth ability.
Unexpectedly, without his notice, he had awakened all eight elemental abilities, and most importantly, they were level four.
"This..." He muttered with a surprised expression.
At each advancement, superpowers gained a new technique based on their ability.
However, Mo Chenxuan had long realised that his elemental abilities didn’t gain new techniques at each breakthrough. Instead, an advancement only improved the power of the original attack.
Regardless, Mo Chenxuan was both shocked and happy that he had awakened all eight of the elemental abilities.
In addition to the new abilities, Mo Chenxuan’s power core had broadened and could hold at least three dozen times more energy than before.
While this was good, it was also a challenge because he would need more energy to advance compared to other ability users.
’It doesn’t matter.’ He thought.
After all, he imagined a fusion attack utilising all the elemental abilities would be countless times more powerful than the attack he previously used.
When he finished examining himself, Mo Chenxuan began practising, and that’s when he realised that his talent seemed to have improved.
As a result, he absorbed crystal cores and energy beads much faster than before.
’I didn’t expect so many changes.’ He thought, smiled and continued practising.
Beside him, Qin Wu was also experiencing a surprise of her own.
She originally had three abilities: auditory enhancement, space ability, and the water ability.
However, her water ability had mutated because of the water from Mo Chenxuan’s second space.
The mutation caused nine silver runes to appear on her water ability power core, meaning that her ability could evolve into nine variations.
Variations meant effects.
At level one, her water ability could produce ordinary drinking water.
After advancing to level two, she evolved corrosive water, and then poisonous water after advancing to level three.
Now, her ability had evolved all nine variations, but Qin Wu could feel that her water element physique was not completely awakened.
’Maybe my level is too low.’ She thought, but didn’t dwell on it.
Instead, she began practising, and like Mo Chenxuan, she realised that her talent had improved.
Time passed, and before they knew it, it was already ten at night.
After opening their eyes, the two exchanged a glance and smiled.
"How?" Mo Chenxuan asked, and Qin Wu smiled before raising her hand to reveal the taijitu on her left wrist.
This mark had appeared when their spaces first merged.
However, it was vague and didn’t become more pronounced until now.
"I also have one." Mo Chenxuan said and showed his mark.
"I wish we had more time. I want to practice." Qin Wu said with an aggrieved expression.
"There will be time in the future." Mo Chenxuan soothed.
After that, the two left the practice room, exited the courtyard and went down the mountain.
At a glance, the puppets were harvesting the mature grains and feeding the livestock.
"Let’s have them plant more rice and sweet potatoes." Qin Wu said with a thoughtful expression.
"Mmh." Mo Chenxuan nodded and continued.
"It’s more urgent to process meat, seafood, fruits, and vegetables. We can bring them out when we return from scouting." He suggested.
"Your idea works." Qin Wu nodded.
After instructing the puppets, the two went to the study, prepared an edict stamped with the seal of the Night Shadows, and left the space.
However, they didn’t leave the villa right away.
Instead, they had supper and showered before donning black clothes and masks.
When everything was ready, they snuck out of the territory and secretly entered the main base.
[They are in zone C.] Mo Chenxuan said, leading the way to the house that Uncle Zhang had investigated.
Since they were hiding within Mo Chenxuan’s spiritual ability barrier, the two didn’t encounter any problems and easily entered the house.
It was after ten, and most survivors were already in bed.
However, twenty-six base three remnants were still awake, looking restless and complaining to the leader.
"Boss, when can we eat good meat?" A young man asked, looking at a middle-aged man.
"The last two-legged sheep was old, and its meat was tough. I want to eat a young one." Another said, as if they were discussing the most ordinary thing.
"This base is not like our base Three. We can’t be careless." The leader said, and one of the young men wanted to argue, but someone stopped him.
"The siege will begin in half a month. Won’t that be a godsent opportunity to stock two-legged sheep?" A middle-aged woman said, and several people excitedly nodded.
However, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu couldn’t be excited.
From the short conversation, they understood that they had targeted the right people and no longer wanted to tolerate them.
A moment later, Mo Chenxuan enveloped the house with his spiritual ability and without a word, he and Qin Wu rushed out.
The two didn’t directly use their abilities to deal with the twenty-six.
Instead, Mo Chenxuan condensed two blades using his metal ability, and they slit the throats of the twenty-six.
"You don’t deserve a dignified death." Qin Wu sneered as she looked at the corpses.
After that, they pinned the edict on the house door before quietly returning to their territory and their villa.
Early the next morning, a team that was preparing to go out saw the golden-yellow edict and immediately alerted other survivors.
In less than an hour, almost everyone in the base learned about the massacre, and many people rushed to watch the fun.
However, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu didn’t.
Instead, they got into their car and left the base, leaving everyone to speculate about the Night Shadows.
