CHAPTER 693: 【687】QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE 23 (3 MORE UPDATES)

Zhu Li released a camper van that she had previously stored in a warehouse, and now it became their means of transportation.

"I knew you wouldn’t fight without preparation. Luckily, along the way, I’ve also learned the skill of fixing cars,"

"We’ll take turns resting." Both of them, having no relatives left, Zhu Li treated Rong Hua as dearly as a brother.

"Let’s go to the seaside and settle down on an island? Along the way, we can gather enough supplies to start our new home."

Zhu Li’s bold decision startled Rong Hua, but after a moment’s thought, it seemed better to find a quiet place to live the life they wanted, rather than floundering in danger on the mainland.

"Alright, I’ll listen to you, but if we head south, the dangers we’ll encounter are also quite terrifying. Now, Mutated Animals and plants have begun to awaken, and Zombies have become the lowest level,"

"Yes, I understand and am ready to enhance my fighting skills."

She turned her head to Little White, "From now on, we’ll rely on you a little more. We won’t need your help in regular fights, but if we can’t hold our ground, then help us."

Little White nodded at her, and Zhu Li, moved, hugged him, "Thank you for being willing to accompany me. Later on, once we find a wife for Brother Huazi, we’ll truly become a family."

Rong Hua, of course, knew that Little White cherished Zhu Li greatly and wouldn’t dare to entertain any thoughts about her. Now that she mentioned finding a wife for him, in principle, he indeed lacked a wife.

"In the future, you don’t plan to join any bases, right?"

Zhu Li nodded, "I think it’s nice for us to be free and unconcerned with others. Isn’t it good if one can feed oneself and not worry about the whole family being hungry?"

Rong Hua nodded in agreement, "Good, of course, it’s good. Though, I expect they’ll all resent Reyas to death. After so long together, to be overshadowed by two outsiders, it simply feels cold."

Zhu Li silently lowered her head; perhaps this was what saddened her the most. She reckoned Reyas hadn’t expected her to be so fiery.

In fact, Zhu Li’s actions were merely a way to vindicate the original owner of her body.

If he hadn’t been her biological father, maybe she would have just killed him, since killing in the Apocalypse was nothing out of the ordinary.

Sadly, because of that tiny blood relation, she couldn’t lay a hand on them. Given that, it was better to be out of sight, out of mind, walking away as the best strategy.

Even if it was just the three of them, they wouldn’t spare a single Zombie en route. When Zhu Li drove, Rong Hua would go kill; when Rong Hua drove, Zhu Li would go kill.

If they encountered small groups of Zombies, Little White would stand on top of the vehicle, watching the siblings fight side by side. Zhu Li excelled at control and entanglement, while Rong Hua was suited for attacking. The two coordinated flawlessly, both willing to trust their backs to each other in battle, like siblings.

After altering their route, they had to pass through cities and rural areas, encountering many Mutated Animals and plants in the process.

In contrast to Zombies, these creatures were more aggressive and dangerous because they advanced by absorbing the Superpower Users’ powers.

The three of them worked as a team. Though not many in number, they were always able to rescue other groups from peril. During these times, they naturally took the Mutated Animals and plants’ Crystal Cores for their power enhancement and absorption.

Unlike Zombies, who didn’t have Crystal Cores for ability enhancement, Mutated Animals and plants did, which was why, despite the danger, many Superpower Users went to hunt them.

At the beginning, they didn’t know about it either. It was only during the hunting process that they discovered the existence of these mutated animals and plants. Later on, they went deep into the forest, purposely hunting these mutations.

Unconsciously, the speed of their ability enhancement had surpassed what they could have achieved by killing zombies alone. The trio’s combination had also earned them fame among the Superpower Users.

Many bases extended their olive branches, but the three unanimously rejected everyone’s offers.

What surprised Zhu Li the most was that Little White, after one of her blood absorptions and promotions, actually began to speak.

It was baby talk, single syllable utterances, but it was enough to thrill both Rong Hua and Zhu Li.

This meant they could now communicate with Little White in a rudimentary way, no longer having to rely on eyes and guesses.

The 19-year-old Zhu Li had grown quite beautiful and, coupled with the aura naturally carried by Superpower Users, drew attention wherever she went.

During a hunt for a mutated Viper, Little White’s spiritual power was somehow disrupted, her ability greatly impaired. Even with Rong Hua’s help, they couldn’t kill the snake. At a critical moment, someone from Hurricane Castle appeared, not only killing the Viper but also forcibly kidnapping her.

Exhausted, she couldn’t resist; she could only watch helplessly as she was swept away by the hurricane and fell unconscious.

When she woke up, she found herself on an unfamiliar mountaintop, with a man named Sima Yi, whose appearance was effeminate, standing before her.

"You’re the girl that Lan Yu cherishes the most? Tsk tsk, for just this physique, to be considered so precious by him, it’s evident that his taste is truly appalling!"

Lan Yu...? Who was that?

Seemingly catching the confusion in her eyes, the corners of the man’s mouth twisted into a sinister, smug smile.

"It seems you know nothing about his background!"

Zhu Li frowned, "Are you talking about... Little White?"

"Little White? He can actually tolerate that name to this day, it seems he really does dote on you without limit!"

"So, his name is Lan Yu then. Who are you?"

"Who I am is not important. What’s important is that I particularly enjoy taking what others love, especially torturing him, have you seen his downfall? I have a method to deal with him. For all the strength he shows in your eyes, when faced with that sort of disruption, he is still defeated utterly!"

Zhu Li wanted to know more, but he left abruptly, slamming the door behind him. The place where she was imprisoned had walls as solid as iron, leaving no possibilities of escape.

She then realized they might have fallen into the hands of Little White’s enemies. Someone who knew Little White’s weakness had struck with precision. Could this person be the very culprit who turned him into a Zombie?

He had already become a Zombie; why wouldn’t they let him be?

Zhu Li looked around at the pitch-black walls in displeasure. As a Wood Element Mage, as long as there was earth, she could think of a way out using plants. But this person clearly knew her abilities and had sealed the place with iron plates, making escape challenging.

How would Rong Hua manage to eat without her? Little White could live on blood alone, but Rong Hua’s three meals a day all depended on her. They had been in a forest, where Rong Hua could not eat anything, either due to poison or mutations. What did this treacherous person actually want?
