Apocalypse: My Apartment Has Traits

Chapter 189: Chapter 160: Consecutive Kills (4K Merged)_2

“If there’s no pressure, naturally lying flat and comfortable is preferable, but in this world, beast tides, lords, Night of Survival, void cavities, and all sorts of chaotic things can happen at any time. If you don’t desperately get stronger, you won’t even know when your life will end.”

He deeply understood this.

This is how it’s been since he crossed dimensions.

Just a few days after he relaxed, he encountered the void cavity and the black tide.

Su Can smiled self-deprecatingly at these words:

“Indeed, if it wasn’t for our family producing talents, just a Zhong Wubin would have finished me off. If I hadn’t had an accident back then and smoothly broke through the First Transformation, I could have crushed Zhong Wubin with a single finger.”

Su Lin saw Zhao Yaxin and the three girls approaching, and there was one thing he hadn’t said.

Becoming stronger is not just for survival, but also for them.

To Su Lin, survival was a natural pursuit.

But he didn’t want his life to be only about survival.

The apocalypse is already so harsh, there’s no food, no drink, no fun; only things below the waist to care about.

Otherwise, what’s the point of living so arduously?

He doesn’t even have faith; why should he live like an ascetic monk?

Before crossing dimensions, Su Lin just wanted to lie flat.

And someone who wants to lie flat wouldn’t want to struggle through life.

He wasn’t someone who couldn’t originally survive and then crossed dimensions.

He was an extremely unlucky guy who had saved up 400,000 yuan only to cross dimensions without spending a penny.

After crossing over, there’s no way to lie flat, and no enjoyment either.

If there’s no sweetness, he might have thoughts of suicide and restarting any minute.

As soon as he crossed over, Chang Kun taught Su Lin a lesson.

And that is:

Beauties are only for the strong to possess.

…

Although the match with Old Su didn’t go to the end, Su Lin had gauged the ultimate progress in his strength.

The combination of Divine Speed and Tap Dance instantly elevated his strength!

To the point where he could even exaggerate that he could defeat Old Su!

Although he still couldn’t resist the black tide in terms of Qi and Blood, he could escape without the black tide being able to stop him.

Unless it appeared in the beast tide at night.

Faced with a First-Transformed Martial Artist, Su Lin also had the confidence, and even felt he could counter-kill the First Transformation.

This gave Su Lin a slight sense of security.

The five of them searched around the inner circle, trying to find some supplies.

But whether because of the void cavity or the reason Mengyi, Monk Dao Guan mentioned about that demon.

The rules of the inner circle hadn’t recovered after killing the Wandering Giant, and no supplies had refreshed.

So Su Can, unable to hold back, directly began to cultivate on the spot, not hesitating to humbly ask his grandson for guidance on the four basics of Qi and Blood.

Among the five, Su Tongxi, the only one who hadn’t mastered the four basics of Qi and Blood, was also unwilling to fall behind and seized every moment to cultivate in the inner circle of the wilderness.

Seeing this, Song Yiyi, who had but an average grasp of the four basics of Qi and Blood, could only follow along and cultivate reluctantly.

Zhao Yaxin, seeing everyone else cultivating, could only join in awkwardly.

The result…

In the terrifying depths of the inner circle in the wilderness, the five of them actually started cultivating right there!

A good hour passed.

Outer circle.

Wei Yi heard the increasingly clear beast roar from afar, and though his expression was heavy, a hint of joy surfaced.

“The Mutant Beast dares to come this close, could it be that Old Su has already dealt with that black tide creature?”

Immediately, he worriedly murmured:

“But the beast tide has been lingering here for nearly half an hour, why haven’t Old Su and those from the Su Family come out yet?…Could something have happened?”

Just as he was hesitating whether to go in and search, five blurry silhouettes appeared in the mist of the inner circle.

Wei Yi rejoiced and quickly approached them.

When he saw that aside from some added dust, Su Can and the others were completely unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief, smiled welcomingly, and clasped his hands in salute:

“Old Su’s strength is indeed extraordinary! Just five people, and they’ve handled the black tide without a scratch.”

Su Can patted the hilt of his sword behind him and said:

“It wasn’t too bad. My grandson and granddaughter-in-law played a significant role, and this being the second encounter, we’re more familiar now.”

“Indeed, indeed, Young Master Lin is now remarkably powerful, as are the ladies.”

Wei Yi, thinking Su Can was being modest, followed up with compliments based on his words.

The few didn’t speak much after that, quickly preparing for the return journey.

This time, without Monk Dao Guan’s help, they had to rely on themselves for the return trip.

But having killed the lord, Su Can had no worries, and with full force, helped the Sanming Village Hunting Group break through the siege, slaughtering their way back to Sanming Village.

The sky was still early.

Time was pressing.

After a brief recovery, Su Can hurriedly led Su Lin and the others towards Qingxi Village again.

Before dusk, they took down the lord of Qingxi Village.

A day…no, it was just an afternoon!

In merely an afternoon, the few from the Su Family had resolved the lords of two villages!

Now that the villages within the East District were in communication, this news quickly spread, causing a stir among several villages.

Especially Quanzhou and Xinlong Villages, it was simply unbelievable!

Quanzhou Village.

During dusk, the yellow sand and red sunset reflected each other, casting a rosy glow throughout the village.

Xu Zhong, listening to his subordinates’ reports, fell into a long stupor.

After a while, he snapped back to reality and hurriedly asked:

“Have you confirmed? Su Can dealt with the lords of two villages successively in one afternoon?! And unscathed? Just him alone??!”

“No, no, no!” The messenger quickly shook his head.

Xu Zhong was furious:

“He didn’t kill the two lords? Then you just…”

Before he could finish his words, the messenger hurriedly said:

“Captain, he didn’t go alone! He also took his grandson Su Lin, and his three granddaughters-in-law, who are probably all Su Lin’s women, the five of them entered the inner circle together.”

“Taking Su Lin and his women?”

Xu Zhong was startled, then his expression stiffened:

“Then how is that different from him going alone? At most count that Su Lin, who’s pretty decent with the Tendon Lock, but could he be stronger than me?”

He shook his head as he said this, an expression of amazement in his eyes, unable to fathom why Old Su had suddenly become so powerful.

“…Could it be that not every village’s lord is that so-called Wandering Giant?”

He had to consider this possibility.

If the lords in the wilderness weren’t this unseen and untouchable Wandering Giant, then with Quanzhou Village’s strength, they could completely hunt down a normal lord.

There would be no need to rely on Wuyin Village at all.

But…

Is it possible?

The established apocalyptic rules, in a wilderness unless the previous lord hadn’t been cleared, the lords corresponding to each camp are of the same kind.

The apocalyptic rules have never…

Xu Zhong suddenly froze.

“With the appearance of a void cavity, the inner circle’s rules have already failed, which is why creatures like the Wandering Giant were born from the imbalance. Could the reason Su Can could kill the lord so easily be that after slaying a black tide creature, the other village lords would revert to normal?”

He hesitated, unsure.

Should he…take a gamble?

Take a gamble, and bring a team to the inner circle to take a look and see if that lord is the black tide creature.

If they win the gamble, Quanzhou Village, although having to face the Su Family, wouldn’t need to merge with Wuyin, gaining independence.

Once the Giant Beast Hunting Beehive is built, Quanzhou Village would qualify for town-level promotion, directly attracting attention from other town-level camps.

If they lose the gamble and pay some price, retreating shouldn’t be an issue.

Just taking a distant look…

To confirm…

Xu Zhong gritted his teeth, thinking they should play it safe.

“Wait until Su Can heads to Lanfeng Village tomorrow and see what happens. Chen Xinting lost an arm to the black tide, if they can resolve it easily, maybe it truly is so!”

Simultaneously.

In Xinlong Village, Li Longjun had the same thought at home.

No matter the slim chances, he didn’t want to merge with Wuyin Village and be under another’s thumb.

The next morning, Chen Xinting personally went to Wuyin Village.

At the break of dawn, with only his left arm remaining, Chen Xinting, after crossing Wuyin Village’s frontier, carried a pack by himself, going straight to the gate of the Su Family’s Old Mansion.
