Apocalypse: I'm the Landlady of the Refuge

"Xiao Wan!!!"

Engaged in a fierce struggle with the horde of zombies, Xu Siming was terrified as a large area of ice spread rapidly from beneath his feet, swiftly freezing a large portion of the zombies.

He managed to break free and ran frantically towards where Ji Wanwan was falling.

But no matter how fast he ran, how could he outpace the speed of falling?

Once Ji Wanwan fell into the horde of zombies, everything would be irretrievably lost!

Xu Siming’s eyes reddened, and he was on the verge of tearing up, "No! Xiao Wan, don’t!!!"

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—"

Suddenly, countless vines burst from the ground, catching Ji Wanwan just as she was about to fall into the horde of zombies, and lifted her up, swiftly transporting her to a higher position.

The vines glowed with a luminescent green energy beam, continuously nourishing Ji Wanwan’s energy-depleted body. Unlike the Wood Element Energy of Wen Yuheng and Ming Jing, the energy of these vines visibly flourished, revealing the immense strength of the controller.

Following the direction of the vines’ movement, Xu Siming’s gaze fixed on Zhou Kai who was midair.

He was slightly taken aback.

After realizing what had happened, immense joy flooded Xu Siming’s mind.

Great!

Zhou Kai had awakened his superpower too. They had another ace up their sleeve!

Before he could get too excited, the scorched Baize made its move.

Even in such a charred state, it still had the strength to attack Ji Wanwan.

It teleported towards Ji Wanwan’s direction.

At this moment, Ji Wanwan was completely exhausted and lacked the supplies to support Equivalence Healing. Therefore, she wouldn’t be able to recover quickly, making it impossible to dodge Baize’s attack.

As Baize was about to reach Ji Wanwan, an Ice Wall suddenly rose from the ground.

"Boom!"

The next instant, Baize’s fist shattered the Ice Wall, and the broken ice crystals flew all over the place, but Ji Wanwan, who was behind the Ice Wall, had disappeared.

Baize’s still-intact eyes quickly focused on Xu Siming who was rapidly fleeing the scene.

In the instant the Ice Wall appeared, Zhou Kai had sent Ji Wanwan into Xu Siming’s arms, signaling him to quickly run away with her.

The latter was surprised for a moment, but then, understanding the situation, he tightly held onto Ji Wanwan and ran without a word.

Meanwhile, as Baize attempted to give chase, countless vines coiled around him, ensnaring him in an endless and relentless bind.

Suddenly, blinding firelight came again, and the vines wrapping Baize began to burn.

Xu Siming, who had run quite a distance, heard the noise behind him and couldn’t help but stop and look back. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

He saw Zhou Kai controlling both Wood Element Energy and Fire Energy, repeatedly scorching Baize with the determination to burn it to ashes. Xu Siming’s mouth twitched, "What the hell..."

Dual superpower, huh!

This guy, not awakening at all or awakening two superpowers at once! And it looked like both superpowers were of a high level!

At this, Xu Siming went from being happy to feeling envious and resentful.

On the ground.

Xia Li, who had recovered most of her strength, stood up again. The frenzy in her eyes deepened, and her aura was stronger than before.

For Xia Li, that which could not kill her would ultimately make her stronger.

Tian Yu was not so lucky on the other hand.

Unable to regenerate his severed limb, and despite his strength in battle, he clearly couldn’t defeat the unharmed and fully powered Xia Li in front of him.

Before Xia Li launched her attack, Tian Yu took out a flare, quickly pulling out the pin.

"Whoosh—"

As the flare shot up into the sky, Xia Li charged towards him, machete in hand...

Tian Yu’s eyes were dark and troubled. As Xia Li closed in on him, he seemed to make a significant decision and took a small blood clot from his pocket and threw it into his mouth.

A faint popping sound was heard, and a dark red energy wave spread around Tian Yu. Accompanied by his ferocious roar, Tian Yu’s body underwent another mutation.

His eyes, which still had visible pupils before, now turned completely red. His muscles seemed to explode through his skin, swollen and prominent. The wound on the severed limb healed entirely, and a sharp bone spur grew out of the broken bone, sending chills down one’s spine.

The roar ended, and Tian Yu fixed his gaze on Xia Li. This time, he had completely become a monster, no longer possessing humanity.

He raised his hand, nonchalantly catching the fierce slash from Xia Li’s full-powered attack.

The tremendous shock force cracked the ground...

In mid-air.

Ji Wanwan slowly came to.

Seeing the familiar face of Xu Siming, Ji Wanwan was momentarily stunned.

What was she just doing?

Right! Fighting Baize!

When she passed out, looking at the horde of zombies below, she thought she was a goner, never expecting to be rescued by Xu Siming.

Wait a minute!

What about Baize?

She remembered that Baize seemed not to have died completely!

Ji Wanwan jolted and immediately hopped down from Xu Siming’s embrace.

When she saw the large fireball and Zhou Kai, overflowing with energy, in mid-air, Ji Wanwan was bewildered again.

Wait, wait!

Is she still not awake? Or has she been unconscious for too long?

Seeing Ji Wanwan somewhat confused, Xu Siming approached somberly, "Thanks to Zhou Kai awakening his Dual Superpower at the critical moment, otherwise you would have fallen into the crowd of zombies."

"Ah?" Ji Wanwan realized, "So it was Brother Kai who saved me!"

Xu Siming: "?"

The words were correct, but why did they feel a bit awkward?

So Xiao Wan initially thought it was he who had saved her?

Realizing this, Xu Siming spaced out, already regretting on the inside.

He shouldn’t have said anything, letting this beautiful misunderstanding continue would have been much better.

Ji Wanwan, looking at Zhou Kai, who was energetically burning the large fireball in mid-air, contemplated, "It still has to be Brother Kai, huh? Either no awakening at all, or directly awakening a Dual Superpower..."

Before she could finish her thought, the large fireball suddenly exploded.

A pitch-black figure burst out from within, startling Ji Wanwan.

"Holy shit!" Xu Siming was shocked, "He’s still not dead?!"

In mid-air, Zhou Kai staggered from the backlash, almost falling from the sky, but Ji Wanwan, who had regained some strength, teleported forward to support him.

Regaining his senses, Xu Siming also immediately moved forward to press the advantage.

Seriously injured, Baize had no desire to continue the fight, consecutively teleporting to put distance between himself and Xu Siming.

Watching Baize’s retreating figure, Ji Wanwan slightly furrowed her brow.

Logically, a normal person would have died hundreds of times over being repeatedly scorched by fierce fire.

Forget about normal people, even zombies wouldn’t be able to withstand such burning.

Yet the fact was, Baize was already charred to a crisp, but he still wasn’t dead!

What kind of monster was he exactly?

As she pondered, she saw that Ji Wanwan in front of her suddenly stiffened as her pupils dilated.

The Baize who had just fled had unexpectedly circled back.

This time, he was followed by a large number of superpower users.

These superpower users were all members of the Baize Union, who had been lying low in the background. Seeing the signal flare sent out by Tian Yu, they all rushed over.

There was a vast number of these superpower users, roughly twice as many as the base’s superpower users.

But none of these were enough to move Ji Wanwan. What truly left Ji Wanwan dumbfounded was that charred figure of Baize...
