Chapter 290

Shen Tianlei arrived with over six hundred people.0

They were all carefully selected by him.0

Half of them were supernaturals, and those without supernatural abilities were skilled in martial arts.0

In addition to the people, Shen Tianlei also brought a large amount of firearms and ammunition.0

The new team had grown even larger.0

Together, they set off toward Rong City.0

Since they had to wait for the teams of Jiang Huai and Peng Shaowei to join them before taking action, Lu Chen decided not to lead the group ahead this time but instead moved forward with the main force.0

"Boom!"0

While everyone was speeding along a road with no guardrails and tall trees on both sides, an unknown creature suddenly burst out of the woods without warning.0

It crashed head-on into the lead vehicle.0

The collision produced a deafening sound.0

The convoy was forced to stop.0

Immediately after, the unknown creature, which had been flung several meters away, twisted its body and quickly stood up, letting out a horrifying screech.0

"Holy crap! What the hell is that?!"0

"It looks like... a pig?"0

"It is a pig, but... a zombie pig!"0

"Look over there!"0

Someone shouted, pointing toward the woods where the zombie pig had emerged.0

The sound of rumbling footsteps could be heard coming from that direction.0

Then, one after another, more zombie pigs ran out.0

They were massive, grotesque, with blackened, rotting flesh infested with maggots.0

Upon seeing the humans, they charged forward as if they had found a feast, their numbers overwhelming and their presence terrifying.0

Shen Tianlei immediately ordered his people to open fire.0

But before the bullets could hit the zombie pigs, they had already dashed away.0

Even when hit, only a few were affected.0

The zombie pigs continued to charge uncontrollably toward them.0

At that moment, a wall of ice rose from the ground, blocking the path between the convoy and the zombie pigs.0

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"0

A series of collision sounds followed.0

It was clear that the zombie pigs, which had been charging at full speed, had slammed into the thick ice wall.0

Then, several figures suddenly appeared atop the ice wall.0

It was Yun Xiaoxiao and Lu Chen.0

While Lu Chen and the others attacked the zombie pigs, Yun Xiaoxiao and Nie Yizhou quickly disappeared.0

When they reappeared, more people stood atop the ice wall.0

Finally, the entire group from Yun City stood on the ice wall, launching a fierce assault on the zombie pigs.0

Shen Tianlei and the others watched in awe.0

At that moment, they truly witnessed the might of Yun Xiaoxiao and her companions.0

"We made the right choice coming here!"0

Shen Tianlei's eyes gleamed with determination.0

Only by following the strong could one become stronger.0

Otherwise, they would remain stagnant, confined to their own limited world.0

"Kid, take a good look. This is what real power looks like!"0

He spoke earnestly to Shen Yan beside him.0

"You’ve always been saying you want to marry Xiaoxiao when you grow up. Do you think you’re capable of that now?0

To be with someone, you don’t necessarily have to be stronger, but you must be their equal. Only then are you truly matched."0

Listening to Shen Tianlei’s words, Shen Yan’s eyes burned with a fiery determination.0

But that calm and wise light in his eyes flickered briefly before vanishing.0

The next second, he put on a cheeky grin and chuckled.0

"Who says I can’t be a freeloader? I think Xiaoxiao and I are a perfect match. She handles the outside world, and I take care of the home. Isn’t that great?"0

Shen Tianlei: "......"0

Jin Zhuyan: "......"0

"Damn, did these things escape from some pig farm? How are there so many of them?"0

Nie Yizhou, after killing one zombie pig, saw hundreds more rushing toward them and immediately felt overwhelmed.0

At that moment, he noticed Yun Xiaoxiao wasn’t killing the pigs but instead turning her back and continuously releasing ice.0

"Kid, what are you doing?" he asked.0

Yun Xiaoxiao: "Building steps so everyone can join the fight."0

With so many zombie pigs, it wasn’t feasible for them to handle everything alone while the others did nothing.0

Working together would save time.0

For others, using energy to build steps might not be worth it, but Yun Xiaoxiao had an endless supply of evolution liquid and spiritual spring water to replenish herself, so she didn’t mind.0

Soon, she had built several layers of steps.0

Shen Tianlei, Zhang Piaopiao, Earth Traveler Sun, and others also made their way to the edge of the ice wall.0

The row of ice walls was now filled with people.0

Everyone used their unique abilities to deal with the zombie pigs.0

Amidst the dazzling display of supernatural powers, bullets flew, creating a chaotic but effective scene.0

Watching Shen Yan, who was now focused and seriously killing zombies, Shen Tianlei and Jin Zhuyan exchanged a knowing smile.0

This kid, though he talks tough, his actions speak louder than words.0

Finally, under the group’s relentless assault, nearly a thousand zombie pigs were wiped out.0

Afterward, Yun Xiaoxiao and the others began cracking open the zombie pigs’ heads to retrieve their cores.0

"Is this the core?"0

Shen Tianlei looked at the shiny object inside a zombie pig’s head, his eyes filled with surprise.0

Yun Xiaoxiao nodded. "Yes, whether it’s a zombie or an animal infected with the zombie virus, their brains will form this kind of crystal. This is the core.0

I told you yesterday, as long as you have cores, you can exchange them with me for evolution liquid.0Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The evolution liquid can enhance your supernatural abilities."0

Hearing this, Shen Tianlei’s expression grew serious.0

The night before, after Yun Xiaoxiao asked if he had any cores, she gave him, his wife, and their son each a bottle of evolution liquid to try.0

They were utterly shocked by the results.0

After drinking the small bottle, he felt his body’s power surge significantly.0

The sensation was incredible.0

Looking at the crystals Yun Xiaoxiao had extracted, he decided that he would definitely seek out more of these in the future to exchange for evolution liquid and boost his strength.0

In the end, Yun Xiaoxiao collected all the zombie pig cores and distributed evolution liquid to everyone based on their contributions and the number of people.0

Most of them had low-level supernatural abilities, so they only needed first or second-level evolution liquid.0

Yun Xiaoxiao had plenty of these.0

However, the cores collected from the zombie pigs were mostly second and third-level.0

No matter how you calculated it, Yun Xiaoxiao came out ahead.0

Many people drank the evolution liquid as soon as they received it, especially Earth Traveler Sun and his group.0

At first, when Yun Xiaoxiao gave them the evolution liquid, they thought it was poison and that she was trying to kill them.0

But after being forced to drink it, they realized how valuable it was.0

After this small incident, the group continued their journey.0

Along the way, they encountered many other dangers, such as small groups of zombies, zombie cats, and zombie sheep.0

But they dealt with each one.0

Through these battles, the group not only grew more united but also significantly improved their strength.0

On the morning of the third day, they finally entered the territory of Rong City.
