Chapter 6: Double Evolution

ndered for a moment, Lian Xi came to a guess about the reason why Li Li followed them.If it's truly about ensuring a smooth transaction, there's no need for the other party to go through all this. Un...Although Wu Lianyi was asleep at this moment, her consciousness was remarkably clear. She could feel her body absorbing energy floating in the air. This energy resembled purple cotton fluff, light and airy, dancing erratically in the sky.

Then, slowly, it adhered to her skin and entered her body, flowing gradually through her blood vessels. Finally, it gathered at her dantian, "boom!" A purple light orb appeared in her dantian, this was her Lei Ling root.

Wu Lianyi was a cultivator before becoming an executor, and she possessed a rare mutated lightning spiritual root. She also perished in the ascension tribulation. Therefore, after the apocalypse, she awakened a thunder-based supernatural ability.

After Lei Xie's awakened abilities, he began absorbing the lightning factors in the air at an incredible speed, modifying Wu Lianyi's body. Surrounded by purple lightning blossoms, she unconsciously circulated the Lei Xie technique while still asleep, accelerating the absorption of Lei Xie's power.

Slowly, a sphere of energy formed around Wu Lian Yi, drawing in the surrounding Lei Xie energy orbs. It expanded from the room to the floor, then the entire building, continuing outwards to encompass the yard and finally the whole district.

It was just this invisible wave, no one could see it, but the zombies sensed the threat and actually started to slowly retreat, leaving this district.

On the other side of the corridor, Yunrou was in a pitiful state. She lay on the cold, hard tile floor, her body trembling uncontrollably. Water-based magical energy points surrounded her, but they were entering her body very slowly.

Because of the commotion Wu Lianyi stirred up next door, it disrupted Fei Lei Xie's ability to activate his extraordinary light spots, causing Yun Rou's evolution to be unusually slow.

After absorbing all the lightning points on the entire street, Wu Lianyi regained consciousness once after twelve hours due to her operation of the Lightning Path technique. Due to fever and the awakening of her abilities, Lianyi, whose mouth was dry, drank two kilograms of pure water directly.

Then she continued to lie down, this time she began to use her thunder attribute ability to punch her body, expelling impurities.

Twenty-four hours later, Wu Lianyi opened her eyes, a faint purple light flashing in them. Because she slept very soundly, she stretched lazily and got up from the ground. Suddenly, she smelled a strange odor on herself.

She raised her arm and looked up. There was a thin layer of plaster on the surface, like impurities expelled from the body. Wu Lianyi's eyes lit up. She reached out and tried it. A purple thunderbolt struck directly at the bookshelf piled at the entrance, splitting it in half.

"It's a bit weak, only equivalent to the power of someone at the early stage of Qi Refining."

Wu Lianyi murmured to herself.

Then, she raised her hand and moved the cabinets blocking the study door. She carefully opened the door and found that the things she had piled behind it hadn't changed at all, proving that no one had tried to break into this room.

But it can be understood, after all, now is only the third day of the apocalypse. Everyone hasn't recovered from the shock yet, and with the second evolution, an estimated batch of people have died.

Wu Lianyi didn't rush to check the situation next door. First, she went to the bathroom, took a quick shower, put her long hair up in a ponytail, changed into a neat black tracksuit, and then put everything in the room into her spatial storage.

Finally, she only carried a black hiking backpack, which held two bottles of water and the instant noodles that Wang Qiang had promised her. She left the equally empty room 601, clutching the bloody iron pipe in her hand, a weapon she felt comfortable using.

Wu Lianyi opened the door and saw bloodstains on the floor outside room 602. A pungent smell of blood filled her nostrils. Her eyes flashed, and she quietly stepped into the room. She strained her ears, hearing a faint breathing sound, as well as the rustling of clothes against the floor and doorframe. It seemed that the person hiding in her room had woken up.

Because of her awakened ability, her five senses seemed to have been enhanced, allowing her to easily hear the sounds within the room.

Wu Lianyi knew her chance had come. She immediately took out her key and openly opened the door. With a gentle push, she bumped Yunrou who was leaning against the door, causing her to stumble back. Looking up in embarrassment, she saw Wu Lianyi walking in.

"Ripple, you..."

Yun Rou was astonished. She hadn't expected the other party to survive under those circumstances.

"Well, surprised to see me still alive"

Wu Lianyi pulled a face and asked in a flat tone.

He then frowned, looked at the empty room, and deliberately asked:

How did you get into my room What about the things in the house What have you done

Faced with Wu Lianyi's three consecutive questions, Yunrou was also a little surprised. She hurriedly explained:

"Ripples, listen to me explain. At the time, Ma Tao was dragging me to run. I wanted to save you, but I couldn't break free from his grip. This is where he brought me, and he opened the door. The room was empty when I came in."

"Where's Ma Tao I want to settle the score with him! Leaving his fiancée behind and saving someone who doesn't want to be saved!"

Wu Lianyi remained somber, stating coldly.

He turned into a man-eating monster and was killed.

Yunrou's body trembled, and she lowered her head, hugging herself with her arms.

"Humph! You were probably bitten by those monsters to protect you! What a foolhardy act, if you had been with me, at least you would have survived."

Wu Lianyi said this deliberately.

"Ripple, I'm sorry."

"Alright, stop wasting my time, get out of my room right now!"

"Wait, Ripples! If I go out now those zombies will eat me."

When Yun Rou looked up, her face was already covered in tears, as if she were the victim.

Ripple smirked and took a step forward. "Slap!" She slapped the other person directly, sending them crashing to the ground. The other person's face swelled visibly.

Before Yúnrou could react, Liàn pulled the other person's chestnut curls and dragged them to the living room window. She opened the window and was about to throw the other person out.

"Ouch! Stop!"

Yun Rou was astonished. She hadn't expected her to be so meek and subdued, but the other party didn't buy it. Yun Rou instinctively used her powers, launching a water ball towards Wu Lian Yi's face.

Wu Lianyi looked at the water sphere, no bigger than a chicken egg, and didn't take it seriously. She kept hold of the opponent's hand and with her other hand, which was clutching an iron pipe, she quickly reacted, blocking in front of herself.

With a sizzling sound, ripples quickly retreated. She hadn't expected Yunrou's water sphere to be corrosive. Fortunately, it was only the size of an egg and was blocked by the iron pipe. Moreover, because of her timely retreat, the splashed water droplets only landed on her clothes, corroding them into small holes.

A gleam of triumph flashed in Yunrou's eyes, she immediately seized the opportunity and rushed towards the door. After opening it, she dashed out. The house had no food or drink, and there was someone inside who wanted to kill her. When would be a better time to escapeu, and all four of us sisters miss you too!"All the women at the table chatted excitedly with Duan Zongqing about what had happened in the mansion after he left.And the ripples, under Ziuyan's service...
