Gao Yan bent over, supporting herself with the sofa, retching non-stop. Her usual delicate and beautiful face swelled up, countless green lines staggered up from her neck and continued to evolve toward her head.

When Feng Qianqian saw this scene, she hugged Feng Junlei’s legs tightly, and cried.

Jiang Chengzhu held the knife in his hand and looked at Chu Qianxun nervously, “What’s wrong? This… is she going to turn into a demon?”

Chu Qianxun shook Gao Yan’s face, “Sister Yan, it’s okay. Don’t be afraid, be strong! You can make it through! As long as you pass this level, it’s fine.”

Gao Yan’s eyes burst, tears flowed, and there was a gurgling sound in her throat.

“I…I can’t do it, kill…Kill me, Qianxun.” She reluctantly squeezed out, “I don’t want to become a demon, I don’t want to become a cannibal like him.”

“No, you look at me!” Chu Qianxun calmly shook Gao Yan’s head and asked her to look at herself, “Keep your mind clear. I promise, you will not become a demon.”

Her hands were emitting light. Gao Yan didn’t have an ability yet, while she was second-order. She should be able to protect Gao Yan and not let her turn into a demon.

Chu Qianxun concentrated on using her ability.

The warm yellow shimmer was very weak, and its light was almost invisible under the shining of the fire on all sides.

But the green line on Gao Yan’s face receded from her neck little by little, and finally the hideous face gradually returned to its former calm.

Chu Qianxun put Gao Yan, who was in a coma, onto the sofa, touched her forehead, and found that she had a high fever.

“She’s all right. You all go back and rest, I’ll guard her,” Chu Qianxun said.

“Really, is she really okay?” Gan Xiaodan’s legs were too soft to stand up.

The scene scared her deeply. She couldn’t understand what Gao Yan was thinking. She would not be able to devour the terrifying crystal core taken from a demon anyway.

Chu Qianxun nodded, “It was very dangerous, she almost became a demon. Fortunately, she escaped the danger.”

With that said, everyone relaxed and went back to sleep. The lighted torch was extinguished, and the house was calm again.

Ye Peitian was lying on the ground, and he quietly watched Chu Qianxun sitting on the ground in front of him.

Chu Qianxun was beside the sofa, and her one arm rested on Gao Yan’s shoulder.

At this moment, the room was dark, and a warm yellow light could be clearly seen on her palm.

The dim light reflected in Chu Qianxun’s eyes, softening her always indifferent face.

After dawn, they got in the small truck and set off toward Goose City.

Gao Yan’s fever had subsided, but she was still a little weak.

Feng Junlei drove, and Chu Qianxun sat in the passenger seat to make up for her sleep.

It was less than an hour’s drive to Goose City’s base.

In the backseat, Feng Qianqian asked Gao Yan curiously, “Sister Yan, what is your ability?”

Gao Yan looked at her hands, “I don’t know. It doesn’t seem to be obvious. Qianxun said it might take a while to get familiar with me.”

“I wish your ability would be as interesting as mine.”

Feng Qianqian began to play with her coins. She made the metal coins into thin strips, and the thin metal strips flew up in the air, making a beautiful little house.

Her control over her ability had reached a new level.

Jiang Chengzhu: “Qianqian, your ability has become more powerful. Did you eat the crystal core Sister Qianxun gave you?”

Water mist fluctuations began to appear around him, and ten sharp cones of ice solidified in an instant, slowly rotating in the air.

Feng Qianqian laughed, “Brother Chengzhu’s ability also got better.”

She turned her head and asked Ye Peitian, “Has Brother Peitian also got a crystal core?”

Ye Peitian’s hand was in his pocket, and his fingers rubbed the hard crystal core. He didn’t know why he was a little reluctant to eat that crystal core.

He remembered that in the corridor the previous day, Chu Qianxun stepped on the demon’s body with the determination to win, and picked out the crystal core.

After being taken out of the warehouse, Ye Peitian had gratitude toward Chu Qianxun. He was too embarrassed to say it, but he hoped he could do something.

But he didn’t know why, he could always faintly feel Chu Qianxun’s rejection.

“She even gave me such an important thing,” Ye Peitian thought in his heart. He took out the crystal core that he repeatedly rubbed and slowly sent it to his mouth, “As long as I can become stronger and follow her, one day I will be able to reward her.”

The small truck drove forward, and gradually they encountered more pedestrians on the road.

Less than half a month after the apocalypse, humanity seemed to have suddenly entered another era.

They were already close to the metropolis Goose City.

Tall and majestic modern buildings still stood on both sides of the wide road.

They just lost the hustle and bustle of the past. The beautiful building was hung upside down with dilapidated billboards, standing there in silence.

The roads were covered with trash, and occasionally the wind blew, making one or two old plastic bags or pieces of paper hovering among the buildings with black hole windows.

The establishment of civilization took a long time, but its destruction only took a few days.

Most people passing by along the way wore dirty and worn out clothing.

Some people had tied some weird-shaped armor pieces on their bodies, and carried weapons made by hand, such as iron rods with sharp and huge fangs on the top or a sharp jagged limb. Its end was wrapped with a cloth strip to make a handle.

Humans had begun to use the demons’ limbs to make armor and weapons.
