Note From Developer: I’m a big fan of Chinese web novels, but I often came across great stories with poor translations. That’s why I started this website! My goal is to make this the best web novel translation site out there. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to reach out on Discord or Instagram.

Ye Zhongming stepped on a grade 2 zombie's corpse with a crack, the one he had just killed.
A gentle force emanated from the ground up through his feet, soothing several deep wounds that were visible to the bone on his body.
Star-absorbing Satan!
The Golden Cloth fused into the Bloodstained Battle Boots, transforming them into golden-grade equipment and granting it the terrifying ability of the Golden Cloth.
It absorbed life energy.
As long as Ye Zhongming stood on any material related to life, he would receive energy replenishment from these boots. If he consumed stamina, they would restore it; if he was injured, they would heal his wounds.
Every time Ye Zhongming thought of the skill Star-absorbing Satan, he felt it was the only one among his acquired equipment skills that could be deemed as extraordinary.
Attributes stones, glorious artisan profession, Staff of Nature—none of these compared.
He didn’t know if anyone in his past life had combined the Golden Cloth with the artisan profession to create equipment that could add materials and possess this skill, but he guessed the chances were slim. This required a combination of many coincidences and abilities, and Ye Zhongming didn't think anyone else could achieve it.
Today, the reason he dared to take on these grade 2 and level 3 mutated lifeforms was primarily due to the capability of the Bloodstained Battle Boots, and Star-absorbing Satan had indeed not let him down.
Although the speed of life energy absorption from this skill attached to his equipment had become less exaggerated and terrifying compared to before with the Golden Cloth, the energy he had absorbed in this short while had already healed his wounds significantly. Ye Zhongming estimated that if there was sufficient life energy beneath his feet, he would fully recover in just an hour.
Being attacked by multiple grade 2 zombies and recovering in just an hour—this speed was enough to leave anyone who knew in a daze.
Outside the granary, his team had already begun their operation according to the plan. Ye Zhongming's task was to end the battle here as his team entered the granary.
Like all the combatants, Ye Zhongming pressed his lips together, trying not to make a sound, and charged towards the black mud zombie again.
A grade 2 zombie blocked Ye Zhongming's path, and the two sides entered the fiercest melee combat.
Ye Zhongming fought like a madman, completely adopting a method of trading injury for injury. As long as there was a chance to kill the mutated zombie, he was willing to exchange his blood for it, stepping over the corpses of these zombies as he advanced.
This approach drastically increased Ye Zhongming’s efficiency, and within just a few seconds, he stood before the black mud zombie.
The black mud zombie angrily unleashed its black mud rain once more!
But this time, Ye Zhongming didn’t trade injuries; instead, he dodged aside and instantly unleashed the aura of full power.
As the black mud zombie attacked again, Ye Zhongming shifted to another angle and struck again with his blade.
The black mud zombie's asset was the black mud enveloping its body. Every time it used the black mud, its body would shrink a bit, and each time it was hit, the black mud would transform into energy to repair its body, causing it to shrink further.
Half a minute later, the black mud zombie was tortured to death by Ye Zhongming.
Quickly harvesting the magic crystals from these mutated zombies, Ye Zhongming stepped on the corpse of the black mud zombie for a moment to recover some of his injuries, then saw Mo Ye, Liang Chuyin, Sister Rong, and others rushing into the granary with three hundred laborers. These laborers were mostly pushing handcarts filled with supplies collected in recent times.
“Quick, quick, quick, move the food!”
Lu Yi organized the center, directing these ordinary people to load the food sacks onto the handcarts.
This was the most dangerous time because the zombies outside had completely surrounded the granary, and the evolvers were desperately holding back the zombies at the entrance.
