106: Gao Lin, Blood God Stone

"Blood-Fallen Corpse King." Tang Ping carefully observed the other party's appearance, committing it deeply to memory.

He hadn't expected this Corpse King to be so troublesome, causing such heavy losses to the Xingyao Safe Zone in the early days of the apocalypse.

Even more so, he managed to retreat unscathed after facing Sister Wang, Sister Xiao Cao, and Zhou Zheng.

Looking at the other party's appearance again, Tang Ping decided in his heart that if he ever encountered this Corpse King in Jiangcheng in the future, he would definitely kill him.

Slaughtering hundreds of thousands of people in a Safe Zone in the early days was enough to severely wound any Safe Zone.

Continuing to browse other posts, Tang Ping saw the Corpse Tide, a dense, overwhelming Corpse Tide, surrounding the triangular area where the Star Council was located.

Many Wasteland Hunters approached, clearly photographing the Infected within the Corpse Tide.

Many of these Infected had clearly only recently transformed from humans; their limbs were still uncoordinated, and they walked with a wobbly gait.

Judging by their clothing, they were clearly people from survival bases in the Wasteland outside the Safe Zone.

"I didn't expect the Old Days Society to even spare these survival bases of dozens or hundreds of people, just to make this Corpse Tide even larger." Tang Ping gained a clearer and deeper understanding of the Old Days Society's dark deeds.

With the Corpse Tide pressing on the city outside, Tang Ping continued to stay quietly in the Safe Zone.

As for the so-called Starlight Points, he was indeed tempted, but still didn't go. He would just honestly rely on his past experience and develop stealthily.

However, he let Gao Lin out of the Shelter... "Three-legged, how many Infected have you killed?"

"Just over two hundred. One can be exchanged for one Small Secret Ground experience stone. I can already exchange for two hundred. After this, I'll be able to gather enough experience stones to upgrade to Level 3!" The limping man's eyes gleamed with excitement.

"Be careful, there are still Mutated Infected in here." The captain next to him was clearly much more cautious.

The limping man grinned, clearly in a very good mood: "Don't worry, we're only clearing the edges. How could we encounter Mutated Infected? Even fully transformed Infected are rare."

Fully transformed Infected are those who, after turning from human to Infected, have completely adapted to their bodies. In their complete state, their movements are extremely agile, their physiques are powerful, and their self-healing abilities are astonishing. Even Wasteland Hunters who have walked the Wasteland for years must treat them with caution.

However, most of the Infected currently before them had just transformed, moving slowly and with faltering steps. For these Wasteland Hunters, it was no different from chopping vegetables and slicing melons.

This was a feast. Countless Wasteland Hunters were incredibly excited. For them, which day didn't they risk their lives in the Wasteland? But often, after a month, the resources they harvested, after deducting repairs, healing, food, and drink, left them with only a meager amount of experience stones to exchange.

And now, experience stones were practically free for the taking!

One slash meant one experience stone!

The limping man wore a bracelet on his wrist, clearly a product of a Shelter facility. For every ordinary Infected killed, the number on it would increase by one, absolutely precise.

These numbers were the Star Council's Starlight Points, which could be exchanged for numerous treasures. As a force with eight Heavenly King and Heavenly Queen level powerhouses, it had more than eight Level Seven Shelters under its command, and countless rare Shelter facilities, producing numerous treasures every day.

Normally, these treasures would only flow into the Star Army or storerooms.

Now, however, they were taken out and became items that could be freely exchanged with Starlight Points.

There were millions of secret realm experience stones alone.

They were killing like crazy. While the family disciples were still somewhat restrained, the Wasteland Hunters were completely frenzied, hacking the heads off Infected one by one.

They actually managed to halt the Corpse Tide's advance.

The Corpse Tide collided with the Talent Users, and the point of contact was like a meat grinder, with corpses strewn everywhere.

But soon, the Star Army, family disciples, and Wasteland Hunters on the Star Council's side also began to suffer losses.

This was because those Infected who had survived in the Wasteland for several years, or even more than a decade, began to appear.

Even if these Infected hadn't mutated and broken through their limits, their inherent power still made countless Wasteland Hunters turn pale with fear.

Their speed, strength, physique, and recovery ability were all abnormal. If intelligence wasn't considered, they were practically perfect lifeforms in the Wasteland.

"Three-legged, be careful!" The captain's gaze sharpened, and he let out a low shout, his body covered in metal, then he charged out!

He violently knocked away the Infected lunging at the limping man.

"Damn it, these mature Infected are really f***ing abnormal." The limping man grimaced, looking at the wound on his arm. Fortunately, he had taken infected serum and had just been rained on by Yuguang Heavenly Queen, so he didn't have to worry about infection at all.

He quickly bandaged the wound with a pre-medicated bandage and was about to charge forward again, but the captain stopped him.

"We have quite a few Starlight Points now. Let's go back first, exchange for some treasures, and then come back!"

A muscular woman with four scars on her face next to him nodded: "Alright, let's spend the Starlight Points first. Don't come back only to die without spending the Starlight Points we worked so hard to get."

Another burly man also spoke: "Good, I just happen to want to exchange for a better weapon. Many of the weapons in the Star Council are exquisite products from Shelters!"

The limping man also calmed down: "Okay, then let's spend the Starlight Points first. Anyway, these mature Infected are worth ten Starlight Points each. When we've exchanged for equipment and spent all our Starlight Points, we'll come back and kill them!"

"Let's go, we're heading back." The captain led the other three, quickly making their way to the Post Station.

The Post Station was a supply point outside the Safe Zone, and also a Star Council outpost. Wasteland Hunters often stayed in the Wasteland for ten days to half a month, or even several months, and usually wouldn't return to the Safe Zone for lack of supplies, but would instead go to the Post Station.

Each Post Station was garrisoned by the Star Army and had a level five shelter, which could connect seamlessly to the Safe Zone, allowing all supplies to be teleported with a single click.

The furthest Post Station was a full hundred kilometers from the Safe Zone. This distance was already considered deep into the edge of the Wasteland.

At this time, these Post Stations also became places for various family disciples, Wasteland Hunters, the Star Army, and even desperate Scavengers to exchange for treasures.

Xiao Family

The Xiao Family was also a family that had developed for decades, with over a thousand family members. Even though they had lost their Shelter seven years ago, everyone over the age of sixteen seven years ago had awakened their Talent.

Even if they only had F-rank or E-rank Talents, after so many years, as long as they weren't pleasure-seekers, they all had at least Level 2 strength and considerable combat power.

The Head of the Xiao Family instructed his third son, Xiao Sheng: "Sheng'er, you and the First Elder and Third Elder go together, take these Starlight Points, and quickly exchange for a batch of healing potions, enhancement potions, extraordinary weapons, tools, and other supplies to bring back."

"Yes, Father!" Xiao Sheng replied, then led the First Elder and Third Elder to the Post Station.

These family disciples generally had to hand over a portion of their Starlight Points to the family collective. The Xiao Family handed over 80%, and the reason for such a high amount was entirely because they didn't have shelter items. If their Starlight Points weren't enough in the end, they might even ask other family disciples to hand over more.

The Post Station, which was originally bustling with people on weekdays, was now even more crowded.

Among them was a familiar figure to Tang Ping, Gao Lin.

"Look quickly, that's the Great Royal Moth Deviant!"

"What, it's actually the Great Royal Moth Deviant! Are you sure?"

"Do you think I'm blind? I can't recognize the famous Great Royal Moth Deviant? Those wings are too distinctive!"

"This person is indeed the Great Royal Moth Deviant, and a Level 3 one at that. And it seems he has completely inherited the Great Emperor Moth's A-rank Royal Might! The scene of him killing the Infected back then is unforgettable!"

"He's probably here to exchange for blood god stones this time. That thing is fatally attractive to the Great Royal Moth Deviant."

"He might be about to advance to Level Four."

"Our Star Council might be getting another formidable figure." Someone sighed.
