"Thank you to my brother for the ten thousand starting coins, thank you fjfhjfhfhju for the 588, and thank you everyone, Old Phantom bows in gratitude!"
The spirit woman stood on the right, the woman with Red Hair stood on the left, and in the center was a human with a stern expression.
Hou Yu never imagined he would encounter such a bizarre situation today.
He had simply gone out hunting, and until now everything had gone smoothly. Not only had he obtained over ten Grade 2 Magic Crystals and more than thirty Grade 1 Magic Crystals, but he also tasted the sweetness of a solitary woman. The apocalypse had lasted for over two months, and yet he was still a virgin; Hou Yu had spent over an hour with her.
However, he lost control in the end and accidentally killed her. At that moment, he didn't think much of it, but after being surrounded by these strange beings, he felt it was bad luck.
How could he be so unlucky to encounter such a situation!
The woman on the right, holding a cat, was unbelievably beautiful, with a slender figure and long black hair flowing. In peaceful times, she would be the goddess in the hearts of all men.
Of course, if there wasn't a black magic crystal on her forehead!
And what about the one on the left, dressed in red with red hair? The absence of a magic crystal on her forehead indicated she wasn't a zombie, but what was with those blood-red eyes? What about the thorns that occasionally flicked out like a poisonous snake from her fingers? Despite her explosive figure, what was with that chilling aura?
What kind of zombie mutant were these? What kind of monsters were they? Why had he never seen anything like this before?
As a three-star evolver, the vice-captain of one of the most powerful factions in Ying City, "Zhenghao's Wings," and a prominent expert in Ying City, Hou Yu realized he had encountered real trouble today.
He couldn't help but regret not bringing his subordinates with him. If he had the usual entourage, how could he have ended up in this desolate land?
However, being able to become a three-star evolver within less than three months of the apocalypse, Hou Yu certainly had his own set of skills. He drew out a gray-grade battle axe from behind him and pulled out a black capsule from his pocket, swallowing it instantly. A massive aura surged forth, his body slightly expanding, his eyes turning crimson, and even his skin becoming rough and waxy, losing the elasticity and luster it had before.
Hou Yu felt a pang of heartache. This thing was called a ‘Savage Time Capsule,’ obtained by chance from a Grade 2 wheel. He only had three of them, and this was the last one. The first two had turned him into a two-star evolver and enabled him to kill a competitor, becoming the vice-captain of Zhenghao's Wings, and obtaining a profession scroll. With this scroll and some team resources, he had become a three-star evolver. Originally, he planned to save this last one for when he aimed for four-star evolution. After all, this item only worked for three-star evolvers at most, but now he was forced to use it. Regardless of the outcome today, his future path towards four-star evolution was shadowed.
Taking the Savage Time Capsule would enhance his physical constitution and significantly boost his power and defense, but it would decrease his speed and agility. Moreover, this capsule had severe side effects; after about half an hour, he would enter a ten-hour weak period, and the evolution effects would briefly disappear, becoming an ordinary person with weak limbs.
So, Hou Yu knew he had to resolve this problem within half an hour, or even a single zombie could claim his life.
The zombies in Ying City were countless, and the number of evolved zombies not only couldn't be completely exterminated but also increased daily. Survivors collected a huge quantity of magic crystals every day, but to reach the three-star level was still a top-tier achievement even in Ying City. Hou Yu's fame was notable.
In the apocalypse, having such a reputation was essentially equivalent to corresponding strength. Usually, he wasn't afraid when encountering tier 3 mutated zombies; even when he had a small team of helpers, tier 3 zombies were also targets for hunting.
