Recap
He suddenly had an idea.
Under the eager gaze of several people, Yan Zhao slowly raised his hand, and the ability testing device that had been burned to ashes suddenly reappeared on the table intact.
The guard brother exclaimed, “Is this time-based time reversal?”
Yan Zhao said, “It’s space-based restoration.”
Everyone: “???” Space could be used like this? They had learned something new!
___
Shock, seriousness, disbelief… all kinds of expressions flickered across their faces. The middle-aged man looked at the two with respect.
There was no need for further testing. Even the level six space ability user abroad could only achieve space cutting. What was space restoration? They had never even heard of it, it was definitely in the realm of level seven or above.
No wonder they could come to City A safe and sound from City B, thousands of miles away. This strong duo could completely walk sideways in the apocalypse!
“Please wait a moment, I need to report to the chief.” He bowed slightly, turned around and took out his phone to contact his superiors.
The appearance of two level seven ability users in one day was enough to alarm the highest leader of the base.
It was important to know that the only four level six powerhouses in the base were all enshrined and could sit on equal footing with the chief. Of course, those four powerhouses were also the backbone of the entire base, greatly guaranteeing the safety of the people.
The strength of these two was unfathomable, and it was no longer something a small captain like him could handle.
After layers of reporting, the news finally reached the chief’s ears. A vigorous old man in his sixties quickly rushed to the testing room in person, followed by four men and women.
The guard covered his heart, what kind of big shots had he met today!
In addition to the chief, the other four were the respected level six ability masters of the entire base.
The big, burly man was called Zhuang Yao, a level six earth ability user. The outer wall defense of the base was almost entirely built by him.
The handsome man was called Lei Ting, true to his name, a level six lightning ability user, who built the entire power system of the base and also set up a defensive power grid outside the earth wall.
The gentle beauty beside him was Luo Shui, a level six water ability user, responsible for the base’s water supply and healing. When zombies came, she could also instantly transform into a female god of war who used water arrows to cut through zombie skulls.
The two were a couple.
Finally, the red-haired young man was called Chi Yan, a level six fire ability user, whose attack power needed no further explanation. A single fire from him could burn a whole bunch of zombies to death.
Usually, it was difficult to see even one of them, but now all four of them were alarmed!
Am I dreaming… The guard and the testing lady had this thought at the same time. The chief saw the two young men and stepped forward amiably: “Hello, I am the leader of City A base, my surname is Li.”
Rong Yu nodded: “Chief Li.”
He did not show any fear in the face of such a big shot. His strength also gave him this qualification.
“I heard that you two are level seven ability users. We are very honored to have you join us.” The chief turned around and introduced the four masters behind him, “These are the four level six ability users of our base, Zhuang Yao, Lei Ting, Luo Shui, Chi Yan.”
The four ability users looked appraisingly at the two newcomers who were said to be level seven ability users, with inquiry and doubt in their eyes.
As everyone knew, there was currently no human or zombie in the world who had reached level seven. There were only ten known human level six powerhouses, stationed in major bases around the world. City A base had four of them, which was enough to make it the largest and safest base in the country and even the world.
The sudden appearance of two previously unheard-of level seven powerhouses was really unbelievable.
They had to see it with their own eyes to believe that there were really two hidden masters. This was also the reason why they appeared here together.
Yan Zhao and Rong Yu reacted calmly, without the slightest excitement of seeing the top human masters.
“Hello.” Luo Shui greeted Rong Yu with a smile, her voice gentle and pleasant, “Are you a space ability user? I’m very interested in your space restoration ability. Before this, we all thought that only water had the ability to restore…”
“No.” Rong Yu pointed at Yan Zhao, “He is the space ability user, you can ask him.”
Several people were stunned.
The information they received was that the two were fire and space ability users respectively. Fire ability had strong attack power, while space ability was generally considered an auxiliary skill in the eyes of the public. Their first impression was that the tall, handsome, and charismatic man was the fire ability user, while the thin, fair-skinned, and seemingly weak young man possessed the space ability.
Unexpectedly, the opposite was true.
“You are a level seven fire ability user?” Chi Yan looked incredulously at Rong Yu, who looked completely non-aggressive, and conjured a fireball in his palm, tossing it around, “Want to compare fire with me?”
It was actually very impolite to greet someone with a fireball the first time they met, but no one present stopped him, including the most polite and courteous Chief Li.
The best way to prove that someone was a level seven fire ability user was to have him defeat a level six fire ability user.
As the leader of the largest and safest base, he would not easily trust anyone without personally verifying it.
Rong Yu casually agreed: “Okay, how do we compare?”
Chi Yan said arrogantly: “We collide our flames together and see whose is extinguished first.”
This was the most intuitive way to compete between fire ability users. Two balls of fire collided, to see who could devour who. The one that remained was the one with the greater flame intensity.
Yan Zhao watched silently, he already knew the result of this competition in his heart.
When it came to playing with fire, Rong Yu was the ancestor.
The scene of Rong Yu kneeling down and kissing him suddenly flashed through his mind, and Yan Zhao’s face suddenly turned red.
…Playing with fire, Rong Yu was indeed the ancestor.
Otherwise, how could he ignite the fire in his heart.
Rong Yu looked at the orange fireball in Chi Yan’s hand, sneered, and a cluster of blood-red flames emerged from his fingertips.
Compared to the huge fireball on Chi Yan’s body, the cluster of flames on Rong Yu’s fingertips was pitifully small.
This was blatant contempt.
Chi Yan was feeling insulted, but he saw that the moment the flame rose from Rong Yu’s fingertips, the fireball in his own palm instantly disappeared.
What was going on? They hadn’t even started colliding yet? How did it get extinguished?
Chi Yan couldn’t understand. He was about to condense the flame again, but no matter how he urged his ability, there was no movement in his palm, and there was no longer any heat flow in his body.
It was as if his fire ability had never existed.
Chi Yan was bewildered: “This is… why? I can’t summon fire anymore?”
The spark on Rong Yu’s fingertips extinguished: “You can summon it now.”
Chi Yan summoned again, and this time a raging fireball appeared again. He calmed down and said, “There was an accident just now, let’s do it again.”
Rong Yu teased him and ignited a cluster of flames again.
Chi Yan’s fireball was instantly extinguished again.
It was literally scared to extinction.
No flame dared to burn in front of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.
After this back and forth, everyone saw that something was wrong.
With Rong Yu’s fire present, Chi Yan’s fire couldn’t be ignited at all.
This was too overbearing!
It was important to know that even if a level one fire ability user went up against a level six fire ability user, the latter could devour the former’s fire in a second, but they couldn’t suppress the other party to the point where they couldn’t even ignite.
A level seven ability user was actually this terrifying!
For a moment, everyone’s eyes changed.
They already believed that the two were level seven ability users. Since one of them was proven to be true, there was no need for the other to lie.
Chi Yan’s eyes were dull, he was so shocked that he became autistic.
He had just boasted and wanted to clash with Rong Yu, but he didn’t expect that he couldn’t even touch him!
Chief Li’s eyes softened and he smiled: “We are very grateful that you two are willing to defend City A base.”
Chi Yan was autistic for a while, but immediately cheered up when he heard this: “That’s great! You are so strong, our base’s strength has increased a lot. If the zombies dare to come again, they will definitely be burned to ashes!”
In the apocalypse, abilities could be used for self-defense, and they could also be used for bullying. For these guardians of the base, abilities were never a tool for fighting and killing, but a force to defend their homeland.
They naturally warmly welcomed the addition of new and powerful companions.
_
Having proven their true abilities, Yan Zhao and Rong Yu were quickly treated as honored guests and received the highest courtesy.
After obtaining Rong Yu’s consent, the chief eagerly spread the good news of City A base having two level seven ability users throughout the base and notified all parts of the world. As a human community with a shared future, humans reaching level seven abilities before zombies was a morale boost for all mankind.
The people waiting in the long queue outside thought that the two queue-jumpers would be kicked out. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, they saw their off-road vehicle successfully drive into the base, and the guards openly let them pass.
The rest of the people immediately became dissatisfied and started clamoring.
“Why can they cut in line and get in, but we have to be kicked out?”
“We’ve been waiting here for a long time, if I had known earlier, I would have cut in line too, it’s just a matter of who is more shameless!”
“It’s the end of the world, and there are still privileges. Are these two relatives of some base leader?”
There was a commotion in the crowd, and some even wanted to imitate the two and forcibly break through the gate, but they quickly subsided under the guards’ warning shots.
The guard sneered, thinking to himself that if you were also level seven ability users, you would also have privileges. Not to mention cutting in line, you could even put flowers on our chief’s head.
On the other side, Yan Zhao and Rong Yu were assigned to the most comfortable apartment.
Luo Shui had already introduced it to them when she led the way. City A base was divided into four areas in total – Area A housed the base’s senior management and high-level ability users, with the highest status and enjoying the best living conditions, but also bearing the greatest responsibility for protection.
The base did not allow freeloaders who did no work.
Area B housed researchers, ordinary ability users, and their families. Ability users regularly went out to collect supplies and crystal nuclei, and could be self-sufficient. Researchers were supported by the base and concentrated on researching vaccines for the zombie virus.
Area C housed ordinary people, some of whom were strong and could also hunt zombies with their raw strength, or had special skills to exchange for other supplies, enough to survive in the base.
Area D was for people who had no ability to survive, all they wanted was to stay alive.
Class was hard to eliminate. Even before the apocalypse, there were always people at the top and people at the bottom. At that time, people were divided into classes by wealth, status, and power, but now it was all about strength.
More work, more gain, relatively fair. The base could only protect all survivors from zombie attacks. As for food, clothing, health, and conflicts between people, even the chief could not take care of everyone.
Of course, Rong Yu and Yan Zhao lived in Area A.
The base even thoughtfully arranged a cook for them to provide them with three hearty meals a day.
However, as soon as the cook arrived, he was turned away by Yan Zhao: “No need, you just need to provide fresh ingredients.”
Yan Zhao: Only I can cook Rong Rong’s meals.
Cook: “…Yes.”
Yan Zhao turned around with satisfaction.
Rong Yu leaned on the sofa and asked, “Who was that?”
Yan Zhao said nervously, “An insurance salesman.”
“Pfft—” Was there still such a profession in the apocalypse? He didn’t even bother to make his lies believable.
Rong Yu stopped laughing: “I’m hungry.”
“I’ll go cook something for you.” Yan Zhao immediately went to the kitchen.
“You haven’t even asked me what I want to eat.” Rong Yu raised his chin, “Come here.”
Yan Zhao returned and sat down on the sofa: “What do you want to eat?”
Rong Yu knelt up, hooked his neck and kissed him: “Eat you.”
This scene was so similar.
When they first kissed, Rong Yu kissed him like this.
Yan Zhao also reacted the same way he did back then.
He was stunned.
But soon, he took the initiative, holding the young man’s head and kissing him back deeply.
This time, he would not let Rong Yu escape again.
_
They messed around on the sofa for a while, then moved to the bedroom. It was already late at night when everything was over. Rong Yu curled up in Yan Zhao’s arms weakly, his face flushed, his eyes closed and he fell into a deep sleep.
Yan Zhao didn’t dare to make any sound to disturb him.
He looked down at the young man in his arms, his expression infinitely gentle.
Yan Zhao sighed softly, tightened his arms around the person in his arms, and whispered, “Do you still want me to sleep on the floor?”
Rong Yu snuggled into his arms and mumbled, “No…”
Yan Zhao chuckled softly.
Rong Yu said softly: “No more… I really don’t want it, Chu Zhuo.”
Yan Zhao: “!!!”
The passion in his heart was instantly cooled by the cold water.
Who is Chu Zhuo?
Who is this wild man!
