The Absolute Favorite in the Apocalyptic Rebirth

Although Lou Ling didn't know what danger there was, she always believed in his words. She immediately threw away the empty milk carton in her hand, grabbed the Tang saber beside her, and hurriedly left the park with him.

However, they were not fast enough.

A fishy wind blew from behind. Lou Ling felt her body lighten as she was pulled aside. Soon, she heard the beast's roar in the distance.

Lou Dian's eyes were cold, and his five fingers flicked. The transparent space blade shot out, cutting towards the neck of the approaching zombie dog. The zombie dog's head bounced high, and its body fell to the ground. He immediately shielded the person beside him, kicked a zombie cat that was rushing towards him, and the space blade cut off its head again.

There were five zombie beasts in total, three dogs and two cats, and their strength was above the second rank. The leader-like zombie dog standing at the end was in the late stage of the second rank and was very powerful. It could be said to be the most dangerous existence in the entire county. All other zombie animals were led by it. It could be said that because they were in the county, the county fell so quickly, making the once prosperous county a deserted city.

When Lou Dian was dealing with the third zombie dog, Lou Ling also raised her saber and slashed at the neck of the approaching zombie cat, but missed. The zombie cat was too fast. With Lou Ling's current strength, she was no match for them at all. With her ordinary physique, she couldn't deal with these second-rank zombie beasts either. If it was the first rank, she could still deal with it.

Lou Ling rolled on the spot, escaping the zombie cat's hunting range. As the zombie cat still relentlessly pounced on her, a Tang saber flew through the air and sank directly into its neck, nailing it to the ground. When Lou Ling saw this, she took the opportunity to cut off its head while it was struggling and stabbed it a few more times.

At this time, only the last and most powerful zombie dog remained. It was a wolfdog. Before it mutated into a zombie, it was a ferocious animal. After becoming a zombie, it became even more terrifying. It had reached the late stage of the second rank, and all the zombie animals in the entire county were under its leadership. Moreover, the aura on its body made Lou Ling feel a little uncomfortable, and she felt dizzy for a moment.

This was a kind of suppression at the spiritual level. This zombie dog was actually good at spiritual suppression. For ordinary people, the physique of a second-rank spiritual zombie beast could be easily suppressed. Lou Ling was just feeling dizzy, which was not bad. Thanks to Lou Dian's training after the apocalypse, if it were those ordinary people who had not received training, they might have fainted by this time.

Lou Dian quickly noticed her strangeness, his eyes changed slightly, and his mental power spread out, driving away the zombie dog's mental pressure. Lou Ling felt her heavy head loosen, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

The zombie dog's skin was bluish-white, its flesh was tightly attached to its bones, its eyes were scarlet, flashing with cruel light, and its greed for flesh and blood, staring at the black-clothed man in front of it. Compared to ordinary people, the flesh and blood of ability users were more attractive to zombie animals.

Lou Dian held the Tang saber, and the tip of the saber dragged a mark on the ground.

Lou Ling watched from the side, almost holding her breath, for fear that the zombie dog would hurt Lou Dian if she was not careful. The hand holding the Tang saber was so tight that the veins were showing, and her nails were embedded in the flesh without her knowing it.

Even in the face of such a behemoth, Lou Dian was still calm and unhurried. His slightly long bangs brushed his eyebrows, and were quickly blown back by the cold wind, revealing his white and full forehead. A pair of dark eyes, cold and inorganic, calm and unable to see any emotion.

Just as the zombie dog pounced, Lou Dian's speed was even faster, so fast that it was hard to catch with the naked eye. Soon, the zombie dog was kicked far away, fell to the ground and twitched, the place where it was kicked was dented, and it didn't get up for a while. Lou Dian jumped up from the ground, jumped to the front, the Tang saber plunged into the zombie dog's head, cutting off half of its head, white brains flowed out, and a ruby-like stone was mixed in the brains.

Lou Ling didn't notice the thing mixed in the white brain漿, and she stumbled over and was supported by Lou Dian's waist. He lowered his head and touched her forehead, and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Lou Ling took a deep breath before she forced a smile. The dizziness in her head was gone, but she still felt a little uncomfortable, even nauseous. Lou Dian naturally knew her situation, helped her to sit aside, then went to clean up the battlefield, dug out the crystal nuclei from the heads of those zombie beasts, then took out gasoline and a lighter from the space, and burned all the zombie beasts' bodies.

Lou Ling sat quietly and watched him move. Her consciousness was a little drowsy, but she still held on. Seeing him washing the things dug out of the heads of those zombie beasts with water, she asked curiously: "What is this?"

Lou Dian put the cleaned crystal nucleus in her hand for her to check. The crystal nucleus dug out from the head of the late second-order zombie dog was red and the size of a mature longan. He said: "This is the crystal nucleus in the head of a zombie beast. It contains energy, and ability users can use them to cultivate and improve their abilities and restore their abilities. Ordinary people can't use them. If they accidentally swallow them, they will become zombies."

After hearing this, Lou Ling was completely uninterested, and returned the crystal nuclei, which were as bright and beautiful as gemstones, to him.

After putting away the crystal nucleus, Lou Dian bent down and picked her up, stopping her struggle, and said, "You were mentally attacked by that zombie dog before, and you have a slight concussion. You need to rest for a few days. Be good, don't move, just leave it to me."

After hearing this, knowing that it was safe now, her mind was not as tense as before, Lou Ling felt much better, she resisted the feeling of vomiting, leaned in his arms and slowly closed her eyes.

Lou Ling huddled in the bed holding the electric heater, listening to the howling wind outside, feeling unusually cold.

At this time, the door opened and a slender figure walked in.

When the door opened, a gust of cold wind blew in from outside. Although the door was closed immediately, Lou Ling still shivered from the cold, and buried herself in the quilt. When she felt warm, she poked her head out of the quilt and saw that he was wearing a long black cloak with only a woolen sweater inside. She felt cold for him, and hurriedly stuffed the electric heater in her arms to him.

"Warm up first."

Lou Dian's eyes were filled with smiles, and his fingertips touched her warm hand. Seeing her shivering and shrinking back into the quilt, he smiled even more happily.

Compared to his happiness, Lou Ling was terrified, and hurriedly said: "What are you laughing at?" Couldn't he be thinking about something perverted again?

He was indeed thinking about something perverted, and said: "It's so cold, are you cold too? Wait for me to warm up for a while, and I'll go to bed to accompany you."

"No, no need, the quilt is very warm." Lou Ling refused with a dark face. Although the sky was a little dark, it was still broad daylight.

After his hands were warmed up, Lou Dian reached out and stroked her face, and found that her spirit was very good today, and he was a little happy, even his dark eyes were shining brightly, Lou Ling felt happy when she saw it, thinking that he looked good like this. Since the last time she met those five second-rank zombie beasts in the park, Lou Ling was accidentally mentally suppressed by the late second-rank zombie dog, and she lay in bed for three days before recovering.

They didn't go back to the base, Lou Dian directly took her to live in a villa on the outskirts of the county seat. After Lou Dian directly used his mental power to get rid of the nearby zombies, he took Lou Ling to live there and treated this place as a temporary place to stay.

In the past three days, Lou Ling obediently lay in bed to recuperate, while Lou Dian didn't know if he was angry that the zombie beast's mental suppression of Lou Ling made her suffer. He did a lot of childish things in the past few days. He tied the second-order late-stage crystal nucleus with a thread and threw it outside the villa, attracting those zombie beasts to come over, and then grabbed the crystal nucleus in a swarm.

Lou Ling didn't know that he was courting death like this. Yesterday, she lay down until her bones were sore, so she got out of bed and walked around. She didn't expect to see Lou Dian open the gate of the villa while lying on the window, and he himself was sitting on the wall. At that time, she didn't know what he was doing, and her heart almost stopped beating. She was afraid that he would fall off the wall more than three meters high, and she was even more worried that he would get sick from the wind blowing outside.

Just when she felt that his second-year illness had happened again and wanted to call him back, she quickly noticed something was wrong. In the distance, more than a dozen zombie beasts were rushing towards this side, making her almost breathless. After reacting, she was about to grab the Tang saber aside and run down, but Lou Dian, who was sitting on the wall, suddenly waved his hand, and a red crystal nucleus flew from a distance and was caught by Lou Dian.

Only then did Lou Ling notice that he was holding a white thread in his hand, and the red crystal nucleus was tied by him with the thread. When those zombie beasts found that the crystal nucleus had run away, they ran directly under the wall, made threatening noises at the people on the wall, and kept hitting the wall fearlessly, trying to knock him down.

Lou Dian's figure didn't move, his ten fingers flicked, Lou Ling could see his gestures, the posture was very beautiful, but she couldn't see his moves clearly, but in an instant, the heads of several zombie beasts were inexplicably separated from their bodies. When there were only a few left, Lou Dian jumped directly from the three-meter-high wall, flicked his hand, the Tang saber was already in his hand, and he chopped off the heads of those zombie beasts cleanly and neatly, and then began to dig for crystal nuclei.

Lou Ling was dumbfounded, unable to react at all.

After he collected the crystal nuclei and dealt with the bodies of those zombie beasts, he directly raised his head to look at where she was, his eyebrows and eyes curved into a smile, although he looked so elegant and noble, it made her feel inexplicably cold. Afterwards, he reprimanded her severely, saying that she should not get out of bed and freeze herself.

Lou Ling just wanted to sneer at him, compared to her getting out of bed, shouldn't he be scolded for squatting on the wall in such a cold day? And she was shivering with fright by him.

In the past three days, Lou Dian used the second-order late-stage zombie beast crystal nucleus to attract a lot of zombie beasts and zombies, and then killed them and took a lot of crystal nuclei. Lou Ling learned from this that as long as zombies and zombie beasts reach the first rank, crystal nuclei will condense in their heads. The colors of the crystal nuclei are different, including red, blue, white, purple… It seems to correspond to the color of the ability user's ability, and it is also divided into different attributes.

"Ability users and mutated beasts also have crystal nuclei."

Lou Dian slowly took off his clothes, then lifted the quilt and got into the bed, dragging her who was hiding far away into his arms. Lou Ling found that his body had warmed up, so she didn't struggle and nestled obediently in his arms, listening to him popularize science for her.

"As long as it is a crystal nucleus, it can be used for cultivation. In the future, when this matter is known, ability users will kill each other in order to obtain the crystal nucleus of high-level ability users in order to improve their own strength." His face was very calm, ignoring her horrified expression, "In the future, crystal nuclei can also become a kind of circulating currency, which is more popular than food circulation."

Few people now realize that such beautiful gemstones can condense in the heads of those ugly zombies. Lou Dian collected a lot, but did not use them in cultivation. Compared with using crystal nuclei to promote abilities, relying on himself to slowly improve his cultivation, laying a good foundation in the early stage, and when the level is higher in the later stage, it will be more effective when upgrading is more difficult.

Lou Ling thought for a while and asked, "Then what level is your ability now?"

Lou Dian smiled but said nothing, reaching out to fiddle with her hair.

"How many zombie beasts did you trick into coming today? How many crystal nuclei did you get?" Lou Ling changed the subject.

"Thirty."

"Not the limit, right?" she asked with some concern.

He smiled and said: "They are all first- and second-tier zombie beasts, and they are not opponents yet."

Lou Ling analyzed from his words that he now has at least the level of a third-tier ability user, and she doesn't know what level the ability users in those large bases are now.

In the question-and-answer chat, time passed quickly, and it was time for dinner.

Lou Dian got out of bed, put on his clothes, and went to work again. Lou Ling felt much better today, so she followed to help - of course, she was doing all the chores, and she didn't even need to touch the cold water, she was served like a princess.

Dinner was steaming hot sheep soup, thick millet porridge for nourishing the stomach, and a few home-cooked dishes, which were heated on a crystal stove. Even in cold weather, it would not cool down quickly, Lou Ling ate very deliciously.

"Your body has recovered, go to the county town tomorrow to have a look." Lou Dian said.

Lou Ling had no objection, she had been lying down for the past few days, her bones were all stiff, and she wanted to exercise.

Before going to bed, Lou Ling saw Lou Dian take out some cosmetics from the space, she was a little stunned, until he fiddled with the cosmetics and said casually: "Why don't you come and take care of it?"

Protect, maintain? ! = mouth =!

Lou Ling almost choked herself to death, and asked, "What is this for? For me?"

Lou Dian looked at her as if she was an ignorant child, pulled her over, and said, "Ordinary people age easier than ability users. I'm afraid you will feel inferior in the future and feel that you are not worthy of me - I will naturally I won't dislike you, so you should start taking care of yourself now. Well, don't worry, I have prepared a lot of natural cosmetics for you, enough for you to use for a lifetime." He looked like "I'm all for you", If she didn't accept it, she would be really heartless.

"…"

Lou Ling was speechless.
