Chapter 317: Chapter 313

The roaring fire continued to spread overhead, with embers occasionally falling from above, crashing to the ground and illuminating the scattered corpses.

”Everyone, get to the exits and keep holding back the undead tide. The tide will continue until the fire is out.”

Zhu Wenwu stood on a high spot, shouting commands.

After Lin Yan and his group died, the people at the settlement seemed more united, at least no one was standing aside watching.

Su Changxing glanced at the Butcher’s Blade in his hand, showing a strange expression on his face. Originally, he hadn’t intended to steal Lin Yan’s ability, but he tried it nonetheless and succeeded straight away.

More importantly, Lin Yan’s ability was widely applicable, with no specific restrictions or side effects, so he went ahead and stole it.

[Sword Attendant: Grants a weapon the ability to grow, allowing characteristics to be condensed through slaughter and continuously enhanced on this characteristic.

This ability is unique and can only be applied to one weapon, being semi-bound to its fate.]

”It seems that this ability is actually quite good.”

Su Changxing realized that Lin Yan’s ability was actually very good, having a characteristic of growth, but Lin Yan had become an Extraordinary only for a short time and hadn’t fully utilized its potential.

If given more time, Lin Yan would have become even stronger.

However, Su Changxing did not bless the Butcher’s Blade with the ”Sword Attendant”; the base of the Butcher’s Blade wasn’t good, and if used intensely, it might even break.

He had some novel ideas; the Undead previously residing in Geng Wanchun was essentially a weapon.

After Tao Yi devoured it, she also acquired similar characteristics.

So, could this ability be blessed onto Tao Yi?

Su Changxing slightly widened his eyes, looking at Tao Yi fighting amidst the undead tide... Tao Yi, being an Undead herself, already had high growth potential, and if she could be blessed with this ability, it would be even more monstrous.

Soon after, Tao Yi withdrew from the battlefield and stood in front of Su Changxing, with black mist swirling around her—remnants of zombie souls.

Zombies seemed to retain part of their human remnants before death, or those people hadn’t truly died, only living in ignorance in the form of zombies.

”It’s really possible.”

Su Changxing activated the ”Sword Attendant.” Some red patterns instantly spread across Tao Yi’s face and skin, resembling some kind of paint, and then appeared on the scythe in her hand — not red, but ghostly green.

Tao Yi herself didn’t seem to change much, remaining the same.

Su Changxing personally led Tao Yi to clear out the undead tide, also noticing that the people of this settlement seemed quite afraid of him.

It was a bit strange.

But he didn’t pay much attention to it, letting Zhou An and Zhu Wenwu rest first.

More than an hour later, approaching dawn, the fire gradually extinguished, and the undead tide also calmed down.

Su Changxing stood at the exit, looking at a middle-aged man in a gray coat, disheveled, and said:

”You were originally Lin Yan’s man? I saw your commands just now were quite good.”

The middle-aged man looked tense, unsure of what to say, and couldn’t fathom Su Changxing’s intent, so he just said:

”Kind of, my name is Fang Zhong, but we were all Lin Yan’s men back then. After all, we had to survive... We’ve already lost many people before.”

Fang Zhong seemed afraid Su Changxing would cause trouble, explaining a lot.

Su Changxing nodded, patted him on the shoulder, and said: ”Well, you’re not bad.”

”Huh?”

Fang Zhong looked at Su Changxing, confused, not knowing what happened.

Su Changxing continued, ”We’re leaving later, so temporarily oversee the settlement. Someone else will come to take over later.”

Fang Zhong immediately wanted to refuse; this wasn’t a good task. Overseeing a settlement sounded powerful, but he just wanted to survive and didn’t have the capability.

Su Changxing didn’t wait for him to speak, saying, ”It won’t be long. You just need to maintain order during this time. Let those who want to leave do so on their own. Maybe our people will arrive by afternoon.”

”Alright, fine.”

Fang Zhong hesitated, asking, ”Are you from that settlement with many Extraordinary to the east?”

Su Changxing nodded, saying, ”Yes, do well, and maybe you can become an Extraordinary too.”

Fang Zhong’s eyes flickered, seemingly wanting to say something but didn’t.

After speaking, Su Changxing turned and walked out of the settlement.

Actually, this settlement wasn’t important; even if everyone here died, it wouldn’t affect anything, wouldn’t change the impending reality.

Perhaps Lin Yan was right.

Su Changxing had already informed Huang Biao before to bring people to take over this settlement later. Huang Biao’s ability was undoubtedly strong, but it would slow down progress.

At the gate, Zhou An was already waiting, chatting with a man.

Zhou An saw Su Changxing coming and pointed to the person beside him, saying, ”Brother Su, this is my classmate, Xu Peigang. He happens to be in this settlement and knows the specifics of yesterday’s fire.”

The man saw Su Changxing, lowered his head slightly, and said, ”Brother Su, the fire yesterday was actually planned by many of us from within, intending to do or die with that maniac Lin Yan. We didn’t expect you to come in the end.”

”Oh.”

Su Changxing smiled and said, ”From your tone, you knew Lin Yan before.”

Xu Peigang nodded, saying, ”Yes, we actually went to the same school and even played basketball together before. At that time, he seemed pretty normal. I didn’t expect him to become so crazy in this world.”

Su Changxing wasn’t sure about what Lin Yan had specifically done before and didn’t have the time to find out.

”Crazy?”

Zhou An showed a thoughtful expression and asked, ”How crazy?”

Xu Peigang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, ”Actually, it wasn’t that bad at the start. He became a superpower user and became our group’s leader, helping us set up a settlement here.”

”But everything changed when he became an Extraordinary. He led people to take down several nearby settlement leaders, demanding everyone submit to him.”

”Resisters were all killed...”

”And later, when food became scarce, he demanded we eat human flesh to survive...”

Speaking of this, Xu Peigang seemed stifled, appearing very distressed.

Su Changxing squinted slightly, coldly asking, ”You ate too?”

Xu Peigang made no effort to hide it, ”Yes....”

Zhou An’s eyes trembled slightly, finding it hard to believe, questioning, ”You really ate it?”

He found it unimaginable for people to engage in cannibalism. For him, even death wouldn’t lead to eating human flesh.

This wasn’t tied to anything else, but a matter of principle.

Facing Zhou An’s question, Xu Peigang seemed somewhat collapsed, shouting, ”I didn’t want to either, I really didn’t want to.”
