60: Chapter 60 Li's Reappearance

Night.

Qi Yun stood alone on the edge of the cliff on the north side of the 01 Tribe.

Seven days.

The system only gave him a seven-day respite.

The third wave of the zombie horde would inevitably be more ferocious and unpredictable than the previous two.

"Seven days... what can I do?"

Qi Yun muttered to himself.

Thoughts flashed through his mind one after another.

Continue to create high-level classes?

This thought was extremely tempting.

The power of the clan leaders blessing had already been fully demonstrated by Chen Xiaolin and Sophia.

One Wind-Lightning Wielder, one Ice Queen—they had directly caused a qualitative leap in the 01 Tribe's high-end combat power.

Even if he created three or four more rare or even unique classes, what terrifying level would the combat power of the 01 Tribe reach?

What about candidates?

The twin sisters, Lin Le and Lin Wan.

Lin Le was indeed very close to him, but would she be willing?

Xia Jin... Thinking of Xia Jin, Qi Yun sighed slightly in his heart.

Her desire for power was unquestionable, but he did not know how well she would accept the clan leaders blessing.

The Campus Belle, Ye Xi, and her questioning and entanglement last night after getting drunk, which was almost like a confession, were still vivid in his mind.

Perhaps she really did have different feelings for him.

Or should he concentrate his resources and focus on building stronger fortifications?

This afternoon, what Tan Ji obtained was the location of a water source.

The big turntable only spun out some ordinary food and basic materials.

Relying on the system's random rewards to break the deadlock seemed unreliable.

Just as his thoughts were flying, weighing the pros and cons, and finding it difficult to make a decision.

A cold female voice sounded behind him without any warning!

"ant, what are you thinking about?"

Qi Yun shuddered all over!

His Space Perception had been maintained the entire time.

Any movement around him, even a bug crawling by, could not escape his perception.

Yet, he had sensed absolutely nothing of the owner of this voice.

He slowly turned around.

Under the moonlight, a tall figure leaned against a protruding rock nearby.

A breathtakingly beautiful woman.

Li.

The mysterious woman he had met on that rainy night.

He could clearly feel the gap in strength between himself and this woman!

Qi Yun made his voice as steady as possible:

"I am thinking about how to survive the third wave of the zombie crisis in seven days."

Li tilted her head with interest; as one of the bosses of the third wave of the zombie crisis, she wanted to see what Qi Yun intended to do.

"Oh? Do you have any... brilliant plans?"

"Build higher walls? Forge sharper spears? Or... hide in deeper caves?"

Her tone carried undisguised mockery and condescending playfulness.

Qi Yun was silent for a moment, then slowly spat out four words: "No comment."

"No comment?"

Li repeated these four words; instead of getting angry, she laughed softly.

Her gaze swept over Qi Yun.

"You can clearly perceive the chasm-like gap between us, yet you can still stand here and speak to me in such an unyielding tone."

Li's smile deepened, a smile so beautiful it was breathtaking.

"Don't disappoint me, little ant. I look forward to you bringing me some different fun in the upcoming 'game'."

Qi Yun's heart sank.

A game? Were they, the struggling survivors, just a game for her entertainment?

Then what exactly was her identity? A supervisor? A higher-level player? Or... something else?

"Why did you come to find me?" Qi Yun asked, his voice low, "Could it be... you are still thinking about what happened that day?"

As he spoke, he moved closer to Li, closing the already dangerous distance between them.

Immediately after, Qi Yun made an extremely bold move.

One hand gently rested on Li's slender waist, which contained terrifying power!

He was gambling.

Gambling on some twisted sense of humor in this woman, gambling that her interest in his "specialness" was greater than her annoyance at being offended.

A flash of astonishment crossed Li's purple eyes, immediately replaced by more intense interest.

"Heh..." she chuckled softly, letting Qi Yun's hand rest on her waist.

"ant, you are clearly so afraid that your soul is trembling... and yet you still..."

She did not finish her sentence.

Because Qi Yun did not let her finish.

Under the gaze of Li's purple eyes.

Qi Yun suddenly lowered his head and fiercely kissed those lips that were right in front of him—crimson in color, perfect in shape, but carrying an inhuman coldness!

The touch was icy, incredibly soft.

Li's body stiffened for a moment the instant he kissed her.

This kiss was not long, but it was full of provocation and probing.

Qi Yun slowly pulled back, still maintaining an extremely close distance.

His heart was pounding like a drum, his back was soaked in cold sweat, but his eyes were unusually bright.

Li was stunned for a full two seconds.

Then, she laughed.

"Should I say you are bold enough to risk your life for lust, not knowing death..." she stuck out the tip of her tongue and slowly licked her lips that had been kissed.

"Or should I say... ignorance is fearless? My... little ant."

Qi Yun released the hand resting on her waist and stepped back slightly to create some distance, but his gaze remained firmly locked on her.

"Perhaps, both."

He paused for a moment and asked that most critical question:

"What exactly is your identity?"

Under the moonlight, Li stood there quietly, looking deeply at Qi Yun.

"What do you think, little ant?"

"Enjoy your last... seven-day 'vacation'."

"After all, the stage for the third act has already been set. And this time..."

Her figure began to become blurry and transparent like a reflection in water.

"The villains this time are not cannon fodder."

"As for who I am?"

At the very last moment before her figure completely dissipated, she left behind a chilling hint:

"Perhaps you can try to guess..."

"Maybe we will meet again in seven days?"

On the edge of the cliff, only Qi Yun was left again.

Qi Yun stood frozen in place.

Meet again in seven days?

Could she be the enemy of the third wave of the zombie crisis?!

That mysterious, powerful woman... Li... is one of the BOSSes that will descend in seven days?!!

How to fight?

Xia Jin's Frenzied Blood? Shu Qianxue's Destruction Fist? Chen Xiaolin's Lightning? Sophia's Reborn Ice?

With his current strength, he was afraid he had no chance of winning.

If... if she really is the BOSS...

Besides running away and fighting, perhaps there really is a third way.

A word, accompanying the extremely bold kiss just now, clearly emerged.

Conquer her.

If there is really no way to win by then

Then, why not try to use human methods to face the "natural disaster"?

Use the way of an ant to... conquer a god?

But this was ultimately a whimsical idea, only worth trying when he was truly helpless.
