My cells devour all worlds.

If this information were leaked, their living conditions might improve.

But more likely, they will be forcibly taken away by a powerful team or force, and then have to process the ingredients day and night.

Moreover, because of their appearance, they may also suffer other forms of mistreatment.

She'd seen this kind of thing far too many times.

Yu Qingxuan glanced at Yu Qingyi, who was sitting with her head down but secretly looking in their direction.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the other person looks messy and smelly now because they haven't showered in a long time and deliberately don't groom themselves, looking exactly like a beggar from the old days.

Only she knew Yu Qingyi's true face beneath the filth. While she might not be a celestial beauty, exposing herself here would certainly not end well.

We can still conceal it for now, but if we reveal our Awakened identity and get recruited into the team, it will be much harder to hide.

Those two exotic fruits are about to ripen. I just hope that she will awaken a good ability by then, so that she can protect Xiaoyi and herself.

The other one can be exchanged for something better later.

It's a pity that it can't be eaten repeatedly, otherwise it could be given to Xiaoyi, who might awaken a powerful ability.

Yu Qingxuan sighed softly to herself and silently pulled out the needle after the injection was finished.

"Why did you have to come at this time of year...?"

Yu Qingxuan looked at Lu Sheng and murmured something in a low voice. Then, as if she was angry, she tightened her grip on Lu Sheng's arms again.

"..."

As he listened to Yu Qingxuan's footsteps disappear, Lu Sheng's tightly closed eyelids suddenly trembled.

Perhaps thanks to the Zhenyue Gong, although he had fainted physically, he was still reasonably conscious.

However, due to the anesthetic effect of some unknown substance, the body was still unable to move.

Fortunately, his body seemed to be slowly adapting, and Lu Sheng could feel his strength gradually recovering, although very slowly.

The anesthetic that Yu Qingxuan had just injected into his body was blocked by him using the little strength he had just recovered.

However, it couldn't completely block it; it only blocked most of it, and could barely withstand it.

Lu Sheng did not reveal that he was sober.

He didn't want that woman to come back and give him another injection.

Lu Sheng had just heard it; the other person even tried to stab him to death, but luckily someone else stopped him.

Otherwise, it would be too absurd for the mission to end so soon after it had just begun.

It's no wonder it's a special mission; they gave him a huge boost right from the start.

The target, Jiang Zhi, is nowhere to be found, which is really a headache.

Since he couldn't move anyway, Lu Sheng simply reviewed the memory information he had just received in his mind.

This world is similar to a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

There are ghouls and beasts that resemble zombies, but they are also different.

Evil corpses and evil beasts refer to creatures whose will has been corrupted by evil thoughts, leaving them only with evil thoughts of killing and bloodlust.

But apart from losing consciousness, there wasn't much difference from before.

Living things still have their inherent weaknesses; they bleed, they starve, and they die.

If a normal creature is accidentally scratched by a vicious corpse or beast, it will be tainted with evil thoughts. If it doesn't survive, it will be assimilated. However, as long as one has a strong will, one can endure it.

However, overcoming this challenge will not grant superpowers; the method to become an Awakened One comes from the Extraordinary Fruit.

A strange fruit that grows naturally from nowhere, and no one knows where it will come from.

Different people will gain different abilities after consuming it. The powerful ones have the ability to control telekinesis, lightning, fire, physical enhancement, beast transformation, and so on. There are also those who are purely supportive or even useless.

However, after consuming it, one's willpower will generally increase, making it harder to be corrupted by evil thoughts.

However, such people become even more terrifying after being corrupted.

An entity corrupted by evil thoughts knows nothing of pain; it only knows how to destroy all living things around it.

As for why he's here...

Simply put, he got separated from his cousin Jiangzhi on the way to the settlement, so he is now searching for Jiangzhi everywhere in the settlement.

A few days ago, I found this shantytown and met the Yu sisters. The older sister is a doctor who makes a living by treating other people's wounds and minor ailments.

He remembered that doctors must have seen many people, so he wanted to ask them for some information.

As a result, Yu Qingxuan was very vigilant and didn't give him any chance at all.

On the contrary, the other party's younger sister was a little easier to fool. She took the opportunity to give her some gifts and say a few words, and Yu Qingyi took pity on her and agreed to ask Yu Qingxuan for him.

Before he could even get any news about his cousin, he unexpectedly heard something else.

It's still about the two sisters.

Two thugs in the shantytown somehow learned that the two sisters were quite good-looking and planned to find a suitable person to exchange them for a good price.

He heard this that evening and immediately had an idea. He planned to give her a heads-up and use the information to quickly exchange messages with the two sisters.

If there is no news of Jiang Zhi, he plans to move on to the next place to continue his search.

He seems to have been misunderstood, and then he was hit on the head and has been imprisoned ever since.

Perhaps it wasn't a misunderstanding; Yu Qingxuan was probably afraid that he would see the two strange fruits and wouldn't dare to gamble.

After all, anyone who sees that thing would be unable to resist.

Based on what he had just seen and heard, Lu Sheng roughly deduced the reason.

These exotic fruits are so rare and unusual that no one knows where they might appear.

Moreover, once consumed, one is highly likely to gain immense power, completely transforming their identity. Who could resist such temptation?

However, due to the rarity of the exotic fruit, there are not many awakened individuals, and they, along with those who have guns and cannons, live in the clean and tidy inner city.

They almost never come to the dirty and chaotic outer shantytowns.

Therefore, he didn't have much of an impression of the Awakened Ones, and had no idea how powerful they were.

It's all hearsay.

It seems one has to be a little sleazy in this world.

Lu Sheng secretly warned himself that although he was a martial arts master, he was probably no different from an ordinary awakener in this world.

Guns and cannons could give him a good beating, not to mention the various awakened individuals with different abilities.

Perhaps we could start with exotic fruits.

Don't you have two strange fruits on your face right now?

Lu Sheng's mind raced. Besides the one for Yu Qingxuan, the other one would be perfect as compensation for "him".

As for explaining why he woke up now, don't be ridiculous. The other party would never believe him now.

There's a high probability they'll give him another injection, or even seal the wound completely.

Let's just wait for our strength to recover, and also wait for the exotic fruit to ripen.

Once he regains his strength, won't he be the one sucking on garlic?

Lu Sheng could feel the abundant energy in this world, which was incomparable to that of the real world.

If we compare the energy in the air of the real world to a small puddle, then the world today is a vast ocean.

The upper limit of biological energy growth is definitely very high, and he can use true qi with peace of mind without worrying about consumption.

If we can get a good score on this mission, the rewards will definitely be substantial.

Just the time he spends training in this world will probably be better than the rewards he received from previous missions.

Lu Sheng wasn't greedy; he didn't ask for an A grade, but at least a B.

Just then, Lu Sheng's ears twitched slightly.

He heard a series of approaching footsteps and faint voices.

"This is it..."

Could it be around this time?

A bad thought flashed through Lu Sheng's mind.

The next second, the metal gate was pounded loudly, and a rough voice almost roared out:

"Open the door for me right now..."
