Shen Feng leaped onto the clouds and began to ask for Lu Xian and Cao Fu Lie's opinions. The current situation was becoming increasingly difficult to manage. If the rampaging ability users weren't eliminated quickly, the casualties in Yuzhou would be immense.
Shen Feng did not want to see Yuzhou reduced to ruins. If Yuzhou became a land of suffering, it would be an even greater torment for him.
Lu Xian quickly said, "With the eldest young master flying in the sky, I can use my abilities to track the enemy's movements. Under my abilities, the enemy will have nowhere to hide. We will find these enemies one by one and kill them. We cannot let them continue to be so arrogant!"
Shen Feng nodded at Lu Xian's suggestion and said, "It seems this is the only way for now. I hope everything goes smoothly. These bastards are truly despicable. If they can't beat us, they resort to killing civilians. People like this, even if they control Yuzhou, will not treat the people kindly!"
Lu Xian's ability was thermal sensing. Ability users and ordinary people emitted different amounts of heat. Ability users had higher body temperatures. Lu Xian only needed to distinguish these heat sources. Moreover, within a one-kilometer radius, his ability could be deployed, making it relatively easy to find enemies.
Suddenly, Lu Xian pointed to a direction in the east and said, "There's a high-energy reaction over there. There are three ability users there. Let's go quickly!"
Chang Haojie was not hesitant and immediately rode the clouds towards the direction Lu Xian indicated. They soon arrived at the place Lu Xian had mentioned. Looking down, they saw Mu Ying and a sister killing an enemy. The ability user was impaled through the throat by bone spurs and quickly died.
"Your detection effect is very good, but there's one flaw: it can't distinguish between friend and foe. These are our people, and you still made us come over!" Shen Feng said helplessly to Lu Xian.
Lu Xian shrugged and replied, "There's no way around that. How about we bring Mu Ying along with us to find others? We'll bring anyone who is an ally. If we find enemies, we'll go down and fight. This way, the speed won't be too slow."
"Alright, let's do that. Throw down a rope and let these two come up!" Shen Feng said quickly.
Chang Haojie threw down a rope. After explaining the situation, Mu Ying readily brought Luo Xia, who was beside her, up onto the clouds. They continued to travel into the distance. Luo Xia was a woman Mu Ying had rescued from Linwu small town. The ability she possessed was acquired from an enemy. These two were the only combat-capable ability users on Wangmen Mountain. Although Zheng Xiqing was an ability user, he was not skilled in combat and had chosen to stay on the mountain.
"Brother-in-law, long time no see! You're still so handsome!" Mu Ying couldn't help but tease Shen Feng when she saw him.
Shen Feng quickly said, "Don't talk nonsense. I'm not your brother-in-law. We're still in the midst of battle, so let's focus on fighting."
Originally, to disguise herself, Mu Ying had always spoken in a hoarse voice. After avenging herself, Mu Ying had chosen to revert to her natural voice. If she could find a way to remove the scar on her face, she would be a great beauty. However, no matter what, she refused to remove the scar on her face, which made her look quite unsightly.
Mu Ying smiled and said, "I thought you, with your preference for mature women, had already succeeded with my cousin. Why doesn't it seem like it?"
While flying in the sky, Mu Ying, having nothing else to do, began to tease Shen Feng. Her words were simple: Shen Feng liked older women. And Shen Feng couldn't refute her at this moment.
"I can't be bothered with you. At this time, we should focus on fighting. After the battle is over, you should go back quickly. Didn't you want to hide in the Dabie Mountains for the rest of your life? Then you should accomplish your goal!" Shen Feng turned his head away, unwilling to talk to Mu Ying.
In fact, Shen Feng was feeling guilty. If it had been a few days ago, Shen Feng could have refuted her righteously, saying she was talking nonsense and fabricating things. But now, Shen Feng had indeed succeeded, and therefore felt guilty.
Just then, Lu Xian sensed a very high thermal reaction in the distance and quickly said, "I've found someone emitting heat. He has helpers around him. Let's go quickly and check!"
As soon as he said this, Shen Feng immediately gave instructions: "Hurry up and go. This scoundrel killed many of our people, and his methods are extremely cruel!"
Whenever he remembered the soldiers who were burned alive in the lava, Shen Feng felt a pang of sadness. These were good men who chose to join the army with the belief of saving the common people, only to be killed by humans in the end. They did not die when facing zombies or mutated beasts!
Mu Ying looked at Shen Feng's somber expression and couldn't help but ask, "Is this guy very powerful?"
"Powerful is an exaggeration, but I want to tear him to pieces!" Shen Feng said in a deep voice.
Mu Ying nodded thoughtfully, understanding Shen Feng's feelings at this moment.
...
Yue Hengyi leaned against the wall, looking up at the stars in the sky. The stars in the post-apocalyptic world seemed particularly bright. Perhaps it was because the ground light sources had been reduced, so the starlight shone unimpeded onto the Earth. Looking at the starry sky, Yue Hengyi's thoughts were in turmoil.
"After resolving Shen Feng's crisis, the next problem is mine. But why did Qin Kewei's attitude change so quickly? How should I investigate this?" Yue Hengyi couldn't figure it out. Although several days had passed, he still couldn't understand this matter.
Looking at the stars in the sky in the city, one can never see them clearly. In fact, there are several layers of interference. First is smog. Many people are familiar with fog, mist, and smoke, which dissipate quickly. But haze is suspended particles with larger diameters that do not dissipate easily, especially in industrialized big cities. Looking out from a high vantage point, the distant scenery is always unclear due to the presence of haze.
Furthermore, big cities are brightly lit, and whether it's day or night, there is always sufficient light. Thus, with the interference of other light sources, looking at stars is like looking through a barrier.
Finally, there is the psychological factor. To see stars clearly in a big city, one needs to be very relaxed. If one cannot calm down, then it's all for naught. Therefore, under these influencing factors, looking at stars in the city is never as good as looking at stars in the countryside!
The apocalypse arrived, and global industrialization was hit hard. Once developed countries saw their industrialization levels directly regress, leading to reduced carbon emissions and a decrease in suspended particles in the air. The air became much fresher, and one didn't cough constantly. Looking at the stars also appeared brighter.
At this moment, Yue Hengyi heard footsteps, which immediately startled him. He casually picked up the Kang Long Jian beside him and shouted in the direction of the sound, "Who is it? Come out!"
Yue Hengyi's legs were injured at this time. His arteries and veins were not damaged, but the muscles and capillaries in his legs were injured. It was still possible for him to stand up now, but he could not run. Therefore, Yue Hengyi was very worried about being ambushed.
Before entering the Fengshen Palace, Yue Hengyi had been warned not to use his abilities casually, otherwise, with his indiscriminate ability, he could directly hinder his allies' performance. However, at critical moments, Yue Hengyi would surely not be able to care about these things, at most he would reduce the range of his gravity field.
"Little Yue, it's me! Don't be nervous!" A person walked out from the gap in the darkness. Upon seeing him, it was Shen Feng, still wearing a cloak, with a calm expression on his face.
"You scared me! I thought it was an enemy. Why are you back?" Yue Hengyi was finally relieved to see that it was Shen Feng. As long as it was an ally, it was fine. He was worried that the enemy would make a comeback, in which case he would not be able to deal with it properly.
Shen Feng explained, "I'm here to find the senior sister and ask her to open the city gates of Yuzhou. The city is already in chaos. If we continue to keep these enemies inside the city, it will inevitably lead to greater disaster. It's better to let them escape and settle the score later!"
"You're showing mercy at this time. I didn't expect you to worry about civilians!" Yue Hengyi muttered, not understanding Shen Feng's decision.
However, at this moment, Shen Feng's expression suddenly changed, and he pointed to a dark corner in the distance, saying, "Look, there's an enemy over there!"
Yue Hengyi quickly looked to the side. As he turned, he exposed his back. Moreover, subconsciously, Yue Hengyi believed that Shen Feng would not harm him, so he did not guard against this. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned, he felt a chill in his lower back.
"Puchi..." A dagger was plunged into Yue Hengyi's back. The angle of the stab was very tricky, directly hitting Yue Hengyi's kidney. The unforgettable pain would make him remember it forever.
Yue Hengyi suffered an attack from behind, and the pain in his body intensified. In that instant, he held nothing back: "You're the enemy! Damn it!"
Yue Hengyi had heard before that some people could change their appearance at will, and even change the appearance of others. He never expected to be attacked like this!
Yue Hengyi unleashed a five-times gravity field, crushing the enemy behind him to the ground, rendering him immobile. Then, he retaliated with a blow. The heavy Kang Long Jian smashed down, directly shattering the enemy's skull.
Yue Hengyi felt around his lower back and found the dagger, but he dared not pull it out. He was worried that pulling it out would cause severe bleeding. Moreover, his legs were also injured, making it difficult to save himself.
As danger loomed, Yue Hengyi could only utter his last words: "Help! Someone!"
Yue Hengyi was very helpless. He never expected to be ambushed by an unknown junior. He, who could have easily killed this person, was now severely injured by him. Could it be that he was going to die so miserably?
Thinking of this, Yue Hengyi felt unbearable pain. If only he had been more careful.
Fortunately, at this moment, Lin Yue's voice came from a distance: "Mr. Yue, I'm here. How are you?"
Lin Yue's ability was to control sound waves. He could eavesdrop during normal times and unleash sound waves for attack at critical moments. Coincidentally, he was passing through this area when he heard Yue Hengyi's cry for help and rushed over.
"I was ambushed by an ability user who can change faces. I was stabbed in the kidney. Hurry and take me to the hospital!" Yue Hengyi said with difficulty.
However, Lin Yue did not do that. Instead, he took out a walkie-talkie from his body and began to contact Chang Jianyi: "Vice Mayor, Mr. Yue is injured. He was stabbed in the kidney. Should we send him to the hospital for treatment?"
The human body has two kidneys. If one kidney is damaged, it can be removed, and one can still live. However, many functions will be impaired, and sometimes even strenuous exercise cannot be performed.
Chang Jianyi was silent for a moment, then said, "Bring him to the castle. I'll have someone prepare an evolution base!"
Lin Yue quickly agreed, then carefully carried Yue Hengyi and headed towards the castle. The main hall in the front had already collapsed, and the surrounding wooden buildings were also damaged. Therefore, the front part of Fengshen Palace was uninhabitable. Fortunately, the castle and the back garden in the rear were fine. After passing through the corridors and small paths, they finally brought Yue Hengyi into the castle. Many female soldiers were patrolling around the castle. They were all Chang Jianyi's personal guards and were also evolved individuals.
Chang Jianyi looked at Yue Hengyi's pale face and quickly said, "Brother Yue, I'll have someone bring you the evolution base later. After you take it, you can begin to evolve. We won't treat you unfairly."
Yue Hengyi was very moved by these words and quickly said, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
In fact, at this time, Yue Hengyi also thought of another method, which was to eat the seeds of the Century Plant. Then, his body's recovery ability would instantly increase. However, eating them would mean he couldn't move for more than a month, which he could not accept.
