Wang Luo stretched as he collected supplies, feeling great thanks to the SSS-class异术 he’d received.
He also noticed that "Black Abyss" had appeared in the weapons section. This was the gold-elemental transcendent material he’d found by the Luo River last time. The transcendent essence liquid within was black, indicating it had reached SS-class. With Wang Luo’s full power, the current Black Abyss could unleash double SS-class might!
“Since that’s the case, let’s test the power of Ten Thousand Thunder!”
“Let’s go, Horse King, we’ll find a place with many zombies to check it out!”
Not long after, the Horse King led Wang Luo to the side of a street. Thousands of zombies were wandering aimlessly on this street.
Sensing the presence of living beings, all the zombies, like cats smelling fish, lunged at the Horse King in unison.
“Hee-ri-ri~~~”
The Horse King neighed, shivering. Facing so many zombies, it was also panicked!
“Don’t panic, let me gather my strength!” Wang Luo said calmly. After all, it was his first time using it, and it wasn’t very smooth yet.
Just as all the zombies pounced, and the Horse King was about to run, “Ten Thousand Thunder!”
Wang Luo slowly raised his arms, purple lightning swirling in his eyes.
Rumble!
A thunderclap split the clear sky, and then,
A sky full of purple lightning descended, directly engulfing the street in front of him!
Crackling sounds echoed, lightning flashed, and bolts of lightning struck down, ruthlessly hitting the zombies. They then snaked through all the zombies like lightning serpents.
The heads of the zombies exploded like watermelons under the lightning strikes, splattering green and white brain matter everywhere.
Even the buildings on either side of the street were blasted with huge holes by the falling lightning!
In just a moment, all the thousands of zombies on the entire street were annihilated.
The Horse King stared with wide eyes, What was this? How was it so powerful?
It lasted less than a minute. Ten Thousand Thunder vanished, leaving behind a devastated street and countless corpses.
“The power of an E-class ability is still too weak!” Wang Luo was somewhat dissatisfied. It wasn’t that he was dissatisfied with Ten Thousand Thunder, but rather with the rank of the lightning ability. If it were an S-class or higher lightning ability, its power would have been much greater than this! The entire street’s buildings might have disappeared, instead of just being riddled with holes as they were now.
“However, as an area-of-effect output, Ten Thousand Thunder’s power is still extremely formidable!” If he encountered another zombie horde like last time, Wang Luo would have no fear!
Just as he was collecting energy source crystals, a black python, as thick as a bucket and over ten meters long, suddenly emerged from the grass, baring its fangs at Wang Luo. It had its sights set on the energy source crystals Wang Luo was collecting.
“Scram!” Wang Luo coldly shouted. He didn’t even want to bother with a mere Black Iron-grade giant python.
However, the black python was relentless, opening its foul-smelling maw and lunging at him.
The giant python could sense that its strength had greatly increased after consuming enough crystals. And with so many zombie corpses here, there were bound to be many crystals. Therefore, it charged forward without hesitation.
“Foolish creature, I gave you a chance, but you’re useless!” Wang Luo gripped Black Abyss and slashed out. A golden blade light flashed, and the giant python’s body was instantly split in two!
“Heh, I wasn’t even planning to hunt异兽, yet you came to your own death!” Wang Luo sneered, collecting the giant python’s corpse. This was the corpse of an 异兽, containing immense energy! It was food that awakened ones dreamed of. “It’ll make a nice snake soup to take back!”
Back at the villa, Zhao Qingxuan had taken many awakened ones out to search for supplies today, while Yang Shu was in charge of guarding the villa area. After taking a shower, Wang Luo went to the vegetable area. The vegetables he had planted earlier were growing well, with each plant emitting a faint white light, looking incredibly mystical!
Besides farmers like Sun Jianyye, Yang Shu had also arranged for awakened ones to guard this area to prevent any disturbances! The captain of these guards was an A-class awakened one named Sun Yunhao, a subordinate of Wang Luo from his previous life. It was because of this connection that he had secured such a leisurely position. In fact, Wang Luo had many followers in his previous life, but they had all met during the apocalypse; no one knew each other before. Since the start of the apocalypse, Wang Luo had been searching everywhere, but he hadn’t found many.
“I wonder where that guy Dian Meng is?” Wang Luo sighed. He was an S-class awakened one and the most reliable person by his side. In his previous life, after Li Xinru usurped his position, it was with Dian Meng’s help that he regained his leadership. Unfortunately, Wang Luo had searched the place where they met in their previous lives several times but found no sign of him.
“We met after the ground wind in our previous life. I’ll go and check there then!” Wang Luo wanted to find him earlier. In his previous life, Dian Meng was heavily injured and almost died under the ground wind! It seemed it wasn’t time for them to meet yet!
……
During this period, the farmers were quite idle, as there wasn’t much land to cultivate. When they had free time, they would sit together and play cards.
Seeing Wang Luo approach, Sun Jianyye and the others hurriedly stood up.
“How is it? Are there any problems with the growth of these crops?” Wang Luo asked. This was one of the few things he cared about.
“These mutated seeds have almost no problems, but the survival rate of those that haven’t mutated is not high!” “Many failed to sprout and died directly, with a survival rate of less than one-tenth!” Sun Jianyye said regretfully. He was referring to the seeds that had survived the black rain without mutating.
“That’s not a big problem. As long as the mutated seeds can be planted normally!” Yang Shu’s current level was too low, and the amount of soil and water she could purify was very limited, making it almost useless. When her level was higher in the future, she would be able to purify soil on a large scale, and then these seeds should all be usable!
“In that case, let’s not plant these unmutated seeds in the contaminated black soil anymore for now!” “We’ll wait until we have purified soil in the future to plant these seeds!”
“Okay!” Sun Jianyye nodded.
Afterward, Wang Luo went to the villa where Yang Shu was stationed. He took out the black python’s corpse and asked the chefs there to make a few pots of snake soup. Then Wang Luo lay down on a lounge chair upstairs, basking in the sun. He didn’t want to go out for the next few days, opting to enter vacation mode directly at the villa, quietly waiting for the ground wind to arrive in a few days.
In the evening, when Zhao Qingxuan returned, she brought back many awakened ones and ordinary people. After this period of development, the population of the villa area was nearing ten thousand. This was undoubtedly the number one force in Anluo City, surpassing even “Butcher” Zhou Yiming.
