Apocalypse: No rebirth! Time to upgrade the sewers!

A few seconds later, he understood everything!

No wonder!

No wonder the superhuman who could enhance his body that he and Gu Ya encountered when they were about to leave the West District Hospital came to hunt down superhumans.

It turns out it was for this energy essence.

In Song Qing's view now, the rules of this apocalypse are even more cruel than he imagined.

Between superhumans, it's hunter and prey.

Song Qing asked in his heart.

"System, how many energy essences are needed for me to advance?"

[System notification: First tier, ten required!]

Ten

Do we need to hunt down ten superhumans?

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Right now, Song Qing is just wondering what level his newly acquired superpower is.

He was thinking to himself, eagerly anticipating it.

"System, view your personal panel."

A blue panel that only he could see immediately appeared in front of him.

Name: Song Qing

Age: 25

[Superpower Level: I]

[Special Abilities: [Red] Gluttony ~ [White] Night Vision ~ [Green] Claws ~ [Blue] Spikes ~ [Purple] Invisibility ~ [Blue] Thorny Vines ~ [Blue] Strong Toxins ~ [Green] Rusting ~ [Red] Extreme Cold]

[Agility: 24]

【Strength: 22】

【Spirit: 21】

red!

The newly acquired ability, Extreme Cold, has the same red quality as Gluttony!

Song Qing's heart skipped a beat with excitement.

No wonder.

No wonder the purity and intensity of this energy are almost identical to his main superpower, Gluttony.

This kind of overwhelming control over the situation, like a natural disaster, would be strange if it weren't at the highest level.

He closed the panel with satisfaction and prepared to go upstairs to take Bai Ruolin away.

Just then.

Song Qing stopped in her tracks.

He suddenly remembered something.

Zhang Wei, the first person he killed.

According to the system, killing a superhuman will cause their core energy to condense into an energy essence.

It was on Kong Kai's body.

What about Zhang Wei's?

After killing the person, he didn't even check the body!

Damn!

Song Qing cursed himself inwardly for being careless.

This energy essence is a key item for advancing your rank. If you miss it, you'll be missing out big time.

Without the slightest hesitation, he headed towards the public restroom on the first floor.

In the toilet stall, Song Qing turned Zhang Wei's body over.

really!

On the ground where the corpse had been lying, a crystal that also emitted a faint red light lay quietly.

It was exactly the same as the one obtained from Kong Kai.

Song Qing quickly picked up the energy essence and put it directly into the system space.

Two now.

Eight more needed

Having resolved this minor incident, Song Qing no longer delayed.

Head straight up the stairs leading to the second floor.

This time, Song Qing did not activate invisibility.

It's no longer necessary.

In this building, Kong Kai, the only one who could pose a threat to him, had been reduced to shattered ice.

The remaining small fish in front of him were no different from ants.

He immediately attracted attention when he stepped onto the second-floor floor.

"who!"

The blond-haired man and the man in sunglasses saw a strange man swaggering up the stairs, and they instantly bristled.

"Who are you! Where's Boss Kong Kai?" the blond-haired man roared.

The man in sunglasses mustered his courage and questioned...

"How did you manage to get around those monsters downstairs! I'm warning you, this is Boss Kong Kai's territory, or you'll die..."

He choked back his words before he could finish.

A black thorny vine suddenly extended from Song Qing's arm, its tip stopping in front of the two of them, less than a centimeter from their noses.

Both of their minds went blank.

Song Qing looked at them expressionlessly.

"roll"

He cursed without any emotion.

thump!

The two of them collapsed to their knees.

"Big brother! No! Grandpa! Ancestor!"

The blond-haired guy reacted the fastest, frantically kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"We were blind to your greatness! We're just two gatekeeper dogs! Please, be magnanimous and let us go like a fart!"

"Yeah, yeah!" The man in sunglasses also kowtowed loudly.

"We saw nothing! We know nothing! Please, Ancestor, spare our lives!"

In their eyes, Kong Kai was already a terrifying being, almost like a god.

But this man in front of me, who bypassed Kong Kai and the horde of corpses downstairs to appear here, means that this person is not simple.

Song Qing waved his hand

The black thorns retracted from his arm.

The two felt as if they had been granted a pardon.

They scrambled and stumbled towards the stairwell, fearing that if they were even a step too slow, they would die.

Now, Song Qing is the only person left in the entire second-floor hall.

He had no interest in those two small fry.

Song Qing isn't some bloodthirsty monster.

Song Qing walked through the messy dining area and arrived at the door of the manager's office at the very back of the second floor.

Wang Jie's daughter, Bai Ruolin, is inside.

Thinking of Wang Jie's gentle face, Song Qing's heart stirred slightly.

He raised his hand, ready to knock on the door.

However, his knuckles stopped just before they touched the door.

How should I say it?

Hello, I'm your mom's friend, I've come here specifically to rescue you?

This sounds like a complete scam.

Forget it

Song Qing simply stopped thinking about it.

Why think so much?

With this in mind, he no longer hesitated and opened the door.

Before he could even see what was happening in the office, a sharp, scathing curse came crashing down on him.

"You bastard! You weak-willed man! When will this end?! Get out! Get the hell out of here!"

Song Qing froze on the spot.

Before he could even utter a single word, this series of fluid and rapid moves had already smeared solidly on his face.

What's going on?

In the office, a petite figure suddenly stood up from behind a desk, holding a broken chair leg in her hand, striking a desperate pose.

"I told you! Even if I die, don't even think about touching me! You're always yelling at the door, aren't you tired of it?!"

Song Qing got a clear look at the girl.

She had a cute bun hairstyle and a small, oval face, but her complexion was somewhat pale, likely due to long-term malnutrition.

It's Bai Ruolin, Wang Jie's daughter.

"Trash! Useless! Forever..."

"Take a look at who I am first."

Song Qing finally spoke, saying calmly.

The shouting and cursing in the office stopped abruptly.

Bai Ruolin then took a closer look at the unfamiliar man at the door.

It's not a hole.

This man was taller than Kong Kai, with a straight posture, and his appearance was far superior to Kong Kai's. However, his face was expressionless and looked cold.

Realizing she had insulted the wrong person, Bai Ruolin's momentum instantly deflated.

She scratched her head somewhat awkwardly and put down the chair leg she was holding.

"I'm...sorry! I didn't see clearly..."

Her voice was much softer.

Then he asked in a low voice.

"Then... what about Kong Kai? Where did that scumbag go?"

Song Qing said.

"I killed him."

"Dead...dead?"
