Chapter 331: Chapter 326: Apocalypse Sisters
After a fierce attack, the massive Big Octopus slammed onto the surface of the water, and after the ship violently shook for a moment, it finally slowly came to a stop.
"Le Wei, Le Wei, how are you?" Luo Yong anxiously looked at her. She appeared to be in great pain, frowning tightly, and her lips had turned from pale to purplish-black.
"The ink is poisonous." Ying Yiming checked Zhao Lihua’s condition; she had stopped breathing, and the skin that had come into direct contact with the ink was slowly beginning to decay.
Fortunately, Li Lewei only got a little on the back of her hand, and there were no abnormalities in other areas. As a Superpower User, her Wood Element Superpower was resisting the poison, so she was in severe pain. The only uncertainty was whether she would be able to withstand it.
"No, we can’t just leave it up to fate." Luo Yong said anxiously, suddenly his eyes lit up as if he had grasped a lifesaver, "Captain, the ink was sprayed out by the Big Octopus, do you think there’s something on it that could detoxify?"
"That’s hard to say." Ying Yiming said. He was not a zoologist, and he was not aware of animal habits. Moreover, this Big Octopus was obviously mutated, and even if there were something within it that could detoxify, nobody could be sure.
However, seeing Li Lewei in pain, Luo Yong decided to take a risk. He alone went into the water like a madman, frantically slicing the corpse of the Big Octopus.
What is this?
Luo Yong pulled out a hen egg-sized, luminous white Crystal Stone from the head of the Big Octopus. Just by holding this item, he could feel his own superpower growing restless.
Could this be the thing that powered the Big Octopus? Could it be effective against the ink poison in Li Lewei’s body?
Luo Yong brought the Crystal Stone out of the water, and everyone looked at the stone in his hand with a very peculiar gaze. Amidst the disapproving looks of others, he placed the Crystal Stone into Li Lewei’s mouth, not really knowing why he did it, as if instinct was driving him to do so.
In her coma, Li Lewei suddenly felt an energy flowing into her limbs and bones from her mouth, this sensation was extremely comfortable, as if her body was reorganizing itself, making her feel completely relaxed.
"Sis, the mutation speed of the zombies is accelerating, look how the Crystal Cores are getting bigger." Ye Dong held two Crystal Cores, looking solemn.
Ye Qiu glanced ahead, where there was a forest, but no sound could be heard in the entire forest, nor any light seen, indicating that the plants had also begun to mutate, and sometimes they could become even more horrifying than zombies.
Calculating the time, Li Lewei’s Wood Element Superpower should have also leveled up by now! In the future, she might become the highest-ranked Wood Element Superpower User, and sometimes even communicate mentally with mutant plants.
"Dongdong, although these Crystal Cores contain energy, do not absorb it, I need to find a place to conduct experiments, I’m not sure if absorbing these Crystal Cores directly could harm the human body."
"I know, Sis, I won’t rashly absorb them, I have already mastered the method to enhance my superpower." Ye Dong confidently smiled, after so many days of training, the once naive and cheerful girl Ye Dong had become a brave and fearless Superpower User.
Although Sister has Space Power, her attack power isn’t high, and moreover, they are taking care of a child, so she must grow up quickly.
"Don’t take risks, you know that once infected with the Zombie Virus, it’s more likely to be bad than good." Ye Qiu seriously instructed.
"I still have to protect Sister, I won’t joke with my own life." Ye Dong said very seriously.
"Someone is coming." Mingming, who had been quietly standing by Ye Qiu’s side listening to the sisters talk, suddenly looked in one direction and slightly furrowed his delicate brows.
Neither Ye Qiu nor Ye Dong doubted his words, they had already confirmed that Mingming was a mental superpower user, his sensory abilities even stronger than Ye Qiu’s, and previously, it was his timely warning that allowed them to dodge two waves of zombies in time.
"How many people?" Ye Qiu asked.
"Five." Mingming spoke slowly, "And one of them is even stronger than Aunt Dongdong."
Upon hearing this, both Ye Qiu and Ye Dong frowned and were somewhat shocked.
In the past half month, the three of them had encountered many people, even one day a group of Superpower Users had sinister intentions seeing the two women with the child, but in the end, they were all driven away by Ye Dong, which well demonstrated how powerful Ye Dong’s superpower had become.
But now Mingming was saying that there was a Superpower User who was even more formidable than Ye Dong? Where did this person come from? Were they good or bad? Would they have lustful or greedy intentions?
Ye Qiu and Ye Dong exchanged a glance, thinking it was best not to meet with this person.
But sometimes when you avoid others, they just insist on seeking you out.
Ye Qiu looked at the frail-looking man in front of him and frowned; he was tall but also thin, with a very pale complexion and a five-centimeter scar on his left cheek, squinting his eyes slightly, looking very dangerous. He must be the stronger person Mingming mentioned.
"May I ask if you are stopping us for a reason?" Ye Dong stood in front of Ye Qiu and Mingming, asking sternly.
The man glanced at Ye Dong and then lowered his eyes, instead staring continuously at Mingming.
Mingming, feeling scared, clung onto Ye Qiu’s leg.
"Come here." The man smiled at Mingming, but that smile didn’t look the least bit friendly, making Mingming shrink back even more.
"Mingming, do you know him?" Ye Qiu asked softly.
Mingming looked at the man with wide eyes, then swiftly shook her head.
"Troublesome little brat," the man muttered, then spit out his cigarette butt and said to Ye Dong, "I’m his uncle, I’ve come to take him away."
"But he doesn’t recognize you," Ye Dong frowned, clearly not believing him.
"Duan Ming, listen to me," the man sighed, looking somewhat annoyed but not as dangerous as before.
Ye Qiu and Ye Dong looked at each other, then at the child and noticed that he had lowered his head, which was quite surprising. It seemed that this man might really be the child’s relative, but how did he find them?
"When I arrived, I saw his father for the last time." Perhaps seeing the confusion on Ye Qiu and Ye Dong’s faces, the man kindly explained, "This is a photo, I haven’t lied to you."
In the photo were two men and a child; the tall, thin man on the left was him, and the more muscular one on the right was indeed the Heavenly General who had entrusted Mingming to them that day and who perished along with the Zombie Rat and several others.
The child in the photo, although younger, was indeed Mingming, it seemed he was telling the truth.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Duan Kai, thank you for taking care of this little guy during this time," the man said earnestly.
Ye Qiu suddenly heard the name "Duan Kai" and curiously glanced at him.
