Qiao Ruowei, Xue Linglong, and the others felt a sense of urgency. Hence, they all entered the Sin Realm to train themselves.
The corners of Link's mouth curved up slightly when he saw them disappear one by one. The apocalyptic world's law for the race at the bottom of the food chain: Only the strongest would survive.
Link was satisfied with their fighting spirit and behavior.
Yang Xuerou—who stood by the side—hesitated slightly and asked out loud, "Link, do I have to enter this dungeon too?"
Link shook his head."No. When the team dungeon opens, I'll enter with you."
The Sin Realm was an individual dungeon. Thus, it was not suitable for support professions like Priests. But there were two dungeons which had yet to open in the City of the Undead—both were team dungeons!
At that time, Priests' strong supporting ability would become an indispensable part of the team.
Priests that had awakened hidden professions—such as Yang Xuerou—were targets that even the top factions would fight each other for.
Yang Xuerou nodded, a sense of disappointment flashing in her eyes. It has been several days since the apocalypse, and she had seen how cruel the world had become.
She didn't want to be protected by Link all the time and be a burden. She wanted to be a great support for Link as well! But...
Link's senses were sharp. He could immediately discover Yang Xuerou's change in mood. Since he had lived two lives as a human, Link's heart was trained to be as hard as steel. If not, he wouldn't have been able to survive in this cruel environment, much less be known as the Asura Summoner.
But towards this Sister Xuerou—who had been taking care of Link since before the apocalypse—Link naturally wouldn't treat her coldly like he would toward an enemy.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he said nonchalantly, "You're very important."
It was the truth. Legend-grade Holy Priest... If others knew of her profession, it would cause a commotion in the entire east side!
Upon hearing this, Yang Xuerou's delicate body trembled. The gloominess in her bright and limpid eyes was gone, and they lit up instantly. She could even feel a warm current in her heart.
When Yang Xuerou lifted her head to look, Link had already headed outside, only leaving her the view of his slender and dependable back.
"Thank you." Yang Xuerou's red lips quivered as she spoke in a weak, inaudible voice. Her gorgeous face was filled with determination.
...
Outside Mingshi Hospital.
A bustling scene.
The Black Dragon Gang's three teams had left several Stage Two existences as laborers, who were carrying all kinds of construction materials. If someone from outside saw this scene, their eyes would pop out of their heads!
One should know that it had only been six days since the apocalypse. They were considered strong among the survivors since they were able to reach Stage Two within this period of time.
Only Link could be so generous!
The overseer, God Devourer Ant—who was covered with subtle blue runes and emitted a savage and fierce aura—saw Link and immediately appeared beside him, buzzing intimately.
The little fatty, Lu Da—who was like a contractor—also hurried over."Brother Link."
Link said in a deep voice, "There are four more days until the siege of the Undead creatures."
Lu Da nodded, his plump face all serious." En, I will definitely build the city within four days."
Link nodded slightly, not doubting Lu Da at all. This little fatty was a descendant of Lu Ban. His awakened profession was [Master Lu Ban], and he was trustworthy.
However, the most frightening things in this apocalyptic world often weren't the monsters or the natural disasters. It was the human heart!
As the saying went: 'There is a bottom to the 10, 000-mile-deep sea, but the human heart—which is only five inches—can't be predicted. '
It was not a small matter to build a city, and they would definitely attract the eyes of others everywhere.
The City Building Token that Link had was destined to tempt the top powers.
Link gave instructions with an expressionless face."Yuna, Star Moon, bring a few people to scout the periphery. Also, pay attention to any movement from all sides."
Yuna nodded."Yes, Master."
Her six white-feathered wings blossomed with bright holy light as she brought a few people and flew into the distance.
A black divine aura diffused from the originally pocket-sized cute Star Moon. In just a single moment, a terrifying aura descended as Star Moon transformed into a three-headed, lion-dragon-like, ferocious beast. Star Moon then led several terrifying-looking people away.
Link sat cross-legged in Mingshi Hospital with the [King's Sword] across his eyes. He then closed his eyes and meditated.
The cruel apocalyptic world had torn away the last piece of shame from humans' hearts. Humans' ugliness, ferocity, and greed were exposed.
But Link was not the least bit afraid. If anybody dared to stretch their dirty paws toward this place, he would chop off their claws!
...
At the same time.
All the forces in Dragon City had received the piece of news the Black Dragon Gang had deliberately spread out—someone built a city with Mingshi Hospital as the center!
Chaos ensued in the entire city.
The hearts of countless people began to burn!
World Society!
Inside a dilapidated building.
The room, originally littered with body parts and entrails, had now been cleaned up immaculately. The only thing that remained was the faint smell of blood, signaling the cruelty of the apocalyptic world.
A tall, stout man with a cold face stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, looking down on the crumbling city. He did not say a word, but he was firm and calm. His aura was so terrifying it made one's heart palpitate.
This man was World Society's President, Feng Haotian! Before Doomsday descended, he was already an ancient martial arts master. His Baji Quan had achieved perfection. However, in the peaceful world, he could only cower in a nondescript martial arts school. His techniques—good enough to kill—were useless.
After Doomsday descended, he was reborn. He awakened a Diamond-grade hidden profession, [Baji Quan Grandmaster]
With his skills, he killed Undead creatures like he was slaughtering dogs. He also created the World Society within days.
This apocalyptic world—which seemed incomparably cruel to others—was a beautiful scene in his eyes.
Suddenly, a man walked toward him quickly and reported respectfully."President, the news has been confirmed. Someone is indeed building a city."
The burly man nodded, and the corners of his mouth lifted to reveal a hideous grin."I didn't expect someone to farm a City Building Token. Such good luck. A commoner's only crime is to carry a jade1. I wonder... whether they have the ability to keep this luck?"
"Pass my orders down. Gather our brothers of the World Society. My World Society is going to have a city in this apocalyptic world!"
"Yes." The man received the order and left respectfully.
...
A street densely populated with Undead creatures.
A young man with cold eyes raised his palm, and a dazzling thunderbolt burst out from his hand!
The thunder snake danced and made crackling electric sounds!
A monstrous might swept past. This was the might of thunder, but it was also the vast skies' might!
With thunder on his palm, the young man was like the God of Thunder's incarnation, punishing living beings on behalf of the heavens!
With a wave of his hand, a silver lightning bolt shot forward like a thunder spear!
A roar exploded.
The crazy influx of Undead creatures turned into EXP under the sky filled with lightning!
Bright silver rays of light burst out from the man's body, and his aura became extremely terrifying.
At this moment, he had reached Stage Three, Level 10—he was not far from Stage Four!
The man laughed."Not bad. It's really efficient having someone draw out the monsters then having me kill them. When I level up to Stage Four, it will be time for my Thunder Palace to go to Mingshi Hospital! The City Building Token is good stuff!"
This young man was the Thunder Palace's Lord, Zhu Tianyang!
