Chang Jianyi gave an order, and her subordinates immediately got busy. The first step was to contact the laboratory personnel to prepare enough Evolution Base and send it to Fengshen Palace. The use of Evolution Base required Professor Niu's consent. As the dean, no one could mobilize Evolution Base without his approval.
Thus, Professor Niu got up in the middle of the night and went to the laboratory. He gathered dozens of liters of Evolution Base and sent it to Fengshen Palace. For the Yuzhou Laboratory, as long as there were enough corpses, Evolution Base could be produced continuously. Both zombie corpses and mutated beast corpses could be used.
Professor Niu heard the chaos in the city from inside the laboratory and muttered to himself, "What a turbulent time. Even Yuzhou cannot escape conflict!"
Professor Niu had been living in Yuzhou for over a year. During this time, he had stayed in the city and never went out. This was because he knew that the chaos in the apocalypse was something he could not prevent. Instead of facing the chaos, it was better to hide in the city and live a quiet life, believing that one day the chaos in the world would end.
However, Professor Niu did not expect that Yuzhou, which had always been safe, was now in chaos. After the chaos tonight ended, many people would probably die. What would happen to those civilians who had nowhere to hide?
When the Evolution Base was sent to Fengshen Palace, Yue Hengyi felt that he could not hold on any longer. Blood had been flowing continuously, and the dagger was still stuck in his lower back. The pain was a constant reminder that if he did not receive treatment, he would soon die!
When the Evolution Base was brought before him, Yue Hengyi quickly grabbed the jelly and stuffed it into his mouth. While eating the Evolution Base, he said, "Evolution Base shouldn't be made into jelly. Having to peel them one by one is too troublesome."
Yue Hengyi was already complaining about the troublesome packaging of the Evolution Base. Chang Jianyi could only explain, "This is to prevent spoilage. Sealed packaging and sterilization can preserve it for one or two years without any issues, and it's also fine for transportation. The dosage of the jelly has been calculated. One Evolution Base jelly can turn a first-order evolver into a second-order evolver. Just scooping a spoonful can create an evolver. If it were all put together, and contamination or spoilage occurred, the loss would be too great!"
The jelly-like packaging of the Evolution Base was not simply for disguise but a result of calculation. Each Evolution Base jelly was manufactured with a specific quantity and content. Even if it spoiled, it would not cause a large loss, and it was also convenient to use.
Yue Hengyi stopped talking. For the sake of evolution, he continuously ate the Evolution Base. Chang Jianyi specifically found two people to peel the jelly for him.
"Sister-in-law, you are so kind. I will surely repay this great kindness in the future!" Yue Hengyi said quickly. Then, he stuffed his mouth like a hamster and began to eat the Evolution Base continuously. Fortunately, the Evolution Base was quickly absorbed upon entering the mouth; otherwise, he would have been stuffed to death by the mountain-like pile of Evolution Base.
Chu Chaoyan replied, "Don't thank us yet. After you evolve, we have some questions to ask you."
After eating enough Evolution Base, Yue Hengyi immediately fell asleep and began to evolve.
Chang Jianyi pulled out the dagger from his lower back, and Yue Hengyi's wounds quickly healed, at a very fast speed.
During the process of evolution, Yue Hengyi's regeneration system would operate at high speed. Hidden injuries that could not be recovered in a normal state could be healed at this time. In addition to the wound in Yue Hengyi's lower back, the skin that had been scalded before also healed. Dead skin fell to the ground piece by piece, and new skin grew back.
On his way home, Yue Hengyi had experienced three episodes of colds and fevers. In reality, it was not that the viruses were particularly powerful, but because his immunity was poor. Now that Yue Hengyi's skin had grown back, he believed he would not get sick easily in the future.
Chang Jianyi said to a personal guard, "Take Mr. Yue to rest. Find a separate room, guard the door from the outside, and don't run around!"
Chang Jianyi and Chu Chaoyan were very curious about the process of Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi's return. As for Shen Feng's answer, there might be some exaggeration, so both of them planned to extract some key information from Yue Hengyi.
At this time, Shen Feng and his group had arrived at the location mentioned by Lu Xian. The group directly saw the culprit melting the asphalt road on the ground. Kong Jialie was continuously releasing thermal energy, causing the asphalt to melt directly. Crushed stones mixed with scorching asphalt flowed everywhere on the ground, and anyone who stepped on it would immediately get stuck. Especially at night, many people were running barefoot on the street. Once their feet were stuck, it would be difficult to walk.
"I'll go kill him!" Mu Ying said at this moment. Since Shen Feng hated this guy so much, she could show herself now!
However, at this moment, Lu Xian said, "Wait a moment. There is still someone hiding in a corner nearby. He just crawled out of the sewer!"
Cao Fuli immediately became eager to try and said, "I haven't fought with an ability user yet. Now is my time to shine!"
After speaking, Cao Fuli jumped down from the clouds. In the darkness, hardly anyone was looking at the sky. Kong Jialie was also the same. He had been creating chaos, constantly causing trouble for his own escape, and this act was tormenting Kong Jialie's conscience.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just want to live. I didn't kill you. You were all blocking my way, that's why this happened!" Kong Jialie thought to himself.
However, at this moment, a beautiful figure descended from the sky. Her feet landed on the scorching road, and the road immediately began to freeze. Judging by her figure, she was indeed very good-looking, but her face was covered with scars, which looked terrifying.
"Beast, do you have anything you want to say before you die?" Mu Ying asked slowly.
Mu Ying was very angry with Kong Jialie, who constantly created chaos. Although he was a member of the Tianlong Bureau and looked handsome and elegant, his actions were disgusting. For such a person, killing him was the only way to warn others!
Kong Jialie had many regrets in his heart. He was a soldier by origin and was selected to join the Tianxuan Bureau due to his outstanding performance. He thought he would become famous and save the suffering people, but by mistake, he started doing bad things. It seemed that fate was unpredictable, and only heaven could control a person's destiny.
"I didn't want this. Let me go, and I won't do anything. Besides, I will compensate Yuzhou doubly in the future!" Kong Jialie shouted frantically.
Before tonight, Kong Jialie was still a good man. He thought he acted openly and honestly, never doing anything underhanded, and believed he would become a savior in the future. But now, Kong Jialie had made a grave mistake and was caught by Mu Ying on the spot. In this situation, he was almost driven mad.
The conflict between ideals and reality is always desperate, and Kong Jialie was exhibiting this now. He just wanted to leave Yuzhou.
Mu Ying said indifferently, "Want to leave? You caused such chaos in Yuzhou, leading to so many casualties. Now you want to leave! Isn't it too late?"
Hearing this answer, Kong Jialie was also desperate, and despair led to madness. He placed his left hand on the ground and used his ability again. The asphalt road instantly melted, and the extremely high heat had also melted the surrounding stones into lava, turning the ground red.
"Ice Seal Thousand Miles!" Mu Ying did not answer and immediately unleashed her move. The already melted road surface was instantly frozen. She was an ice-controlling ability user, and now, she would use ice to extinguish the opponent's scorching lava.
"Hiss..." The lava and ice collided, immediately causing a violent reaction. Wisps of water vapor appeared, obscuring the surrounding streets.
The water vapor drifted towards Mu Ying, but when it reached her, it immediately fell to the ground with a "ding-ding-dang-dang" sound. This water vapor condensed into ice particles, while around Kong Jialie, it turned into a steamer. The water vapor continuously baked him, making him feel extremely hot. He also realized that his thermal energy could no longer be continuously infused.
Kong Jialie felt exhausted at this moment. It seemed that no matter how much thermal energy was infused into the ground, it was like a mud ox entering the sea, disappearing without a trace. Previously, no enemy could confront him head-on. Even Guo Pinming's hands were almost roasted, but now, Kong Jialie felt exhausted.
"Gasp..." Kong Jialie panted, his face full of fear and unwillingness. He couldn't understand why he had come to this point.
"I was an excellent soldier, I carried everyone's hopes, I should have been everyone's savior, I shouldn't have ended up like this. What happened? Why am I suddenly at my wit's end?" Kong Jialie murmured.
These questions now occupied Kong Jialie's entire mind, and no one could answer them. This was because the frost on the ground was becoming more and more widespread, while the thermal energy Kong Jialie could release was decreasing. By now, the outcome was very clear. Mu Ying had become an ability user early on, and her accumulated experience and strength were not comparable to ordinary people. Now, Mu Ying had gained the upper hand.
"Let me tell you, from the moment you started taking other people's things by improper means, you had already lost. If you don't follow the rules, others don't have to!" Mu Ying walked out of the water vapor. The temperature around her dropped wherever she went, and finally, even Kong Jialie was frozen into an ice sculpture.
Kong Jialie received an answer before he died and then passed away. Mu Ying's battle was over.
At this time, an ability user from the Tianlong Bureau was crawling out of the sewer. He had thought of a good plan earlier and intended to escape Yuzhou through the sewer. He personally felt that this method was definitely something others would not think of, so he found a manhole cover and crawled down. However, after going down, he was surprised to find that there were iron grates blocking the way at intervals in the sewer, making it impossible to travel through the sewer.
Seeing this situation, the ability user in the sewer could only curse, "The people of Yuzhou are all bastards. They even put iron grates in the sewer. If it gets blocked, wouldn't it be difficult to dredge? What were they thinking?"
So, this ability user had no choice but to crawl out from below.
However, in reality, Yuzhou's sewers were not dug specifically to prevent people from entering or exiting, but to prevent mutated rats from entering. The reason Yuzhou became a dead city was all due to rats. Rats carried bacteria, which eventually led to the outbreak of plague. Therefore, when Shen Feng recaptured Yuzhou, he also had people set up grates in the sewers to prevent mutated rats from entering.
Mutated rats, which could be as large as rabbits, could not pass through the iron grates.
The ability user from the sewer slowly crawled out from below. He thought he could directly go to the Yangtze River and escape from here, but now, he could only come out with a lot of foul-smelling sludge from the sewer. This did not meet his expectations at all.
Just then, a dark shadow descended from the sky. Cao Fuli appeared in front of this person, twisted his neck, and said, "Want to escape through the sewer? What a fantasy!"
The person looked up and saw a dark cloud overhead, which was not conspicuous in the night sky. Only then did he realize why the enemy appeared before him. It turned out that the enemy had a means of flight, which allowed him to find him easily.
