“S-Rank Life Potion!” Tang Ping checked the item; it was indeed an excellent healing item. Even if one’s limbs were severed, as long as they were still present, this potion could reattach them!

Most physical injuries could be restored to their original state with just a few drops.

It couldn't regrow lost limbs, but its effect was already incredibly heaven-defying.

Tang Ping put it away, then tidied up all the supplies and used the attribute stones he had obtained. Finally, his spirit attribute, which had been the only one below one hundred, also broke past the hundred-mark.

After his spirit broke a hundred, Tang Ping clearly felt that his spirit had undergone some kind of change!

He tried closing his eyes, and a strange sensation appeared, followed by his spirit slowly expanding outwards.

“I can actually project my spirit now!” Tang Ping was surprised. His spirit first circulated within his body, then began to move outwards.

Soon, Tang Ping reopened his eyes.

“I can only project it about a meter, but within this range, my perception is extremely sharp, comparable to dynamic vision, and I can even slow down events like in a movie!”

“More importantly, my body can perfectly keep up with this reaction.”

Tang Ping's eyes were filled with pleasant surprise; he was walking further and further down the path of the non-human.

He felt even more confident about this unique hidden quest.

“Niu Niu, let’s go!”

“Okay, Big Brother Tang Ping.”

Niu Niu's four short legs supported her body, and she happily followed beside Tang Ping.

Tang Ping's speed was not slow, and Niu Niu was like a charging elephant.

Ordinary Infected on the road, upon seeing Niu Niu, didn't even dare to approach.

“We’ve arrived!”

The towering building shot straight into the sky, its spire even visible, hidden within the thick gray haze.

The once resplendent Pearl Tower was now covered in grime, with broken walls and windows everywhere. Under the faint light, it seemed to still reflect the glory of a bygone city.

“Niu Niu, we need to be careful now. Let’s go to the thirty-second floor first to find the potion that can make you beautiful.”

“Beautiful? Can Niu Niu also become beautiful?” Niu Niu’s eyes widened, overjoyed.

“Of course, Niu Niu will definitely return to her former appearance, I promise.”

“Mm-hmm, Niu Niu believes in Big Brother.”

“Let’s go up.”

It was very quiet inside the Pearl Tower; even the air seemed to be solidified.

The oppressive air felt suffocating, making one want to scream loudly.

After an unknown number of days and months of silence, the skyscraper welcomed sparse footsteps.

Two strange figures, one large and one small.

The small one was a person, the large one was a ball.

Tang Ping’s current four-dimensional physique made him sharp of ear and keen of eye, as if aided by a deity. Even without looking, he could hear the Infected's nests forged beneath the dilapidated walls and inside the rooms, just by listening.

There were many Infected on the first floor.

Fortunately, Tang Ping seemed to have a smooth journey, actually reaching the thirty-second floor without being discovered by any Infected.

This made even him feel a little incredible.

“Niu Niu, this is it. We’ll soon find the potion that can restore you.”

“Mm-hmm!” Niu Niu nodded excitedly, her Crimson Fleshball mouth opening and closing with joy, her saw-like fangs grinding inside.

Tang Ping recalled the information he knew and began to search for the potion.

Meanwhile,

Tianhua Avenue

“It’s getting late. Let’s set off.” Sheng Tianqi looked at the end of the road.

Wang Yanyan stared at her hand. Half of her left hand was gone. Although the Water of Life had stopped the bleeding and even caused granulation tissue to grow at the severed arm and skin to cover it again,

it was incredibly ugly.

Her face twisted: “Who was it? Who was it?!”

“Alright, now that the Doomsday Game has arrived, anything is possible. Your arm might not be beyond recovery.” Sheng Tianqi walked ahead.

He needed to return to Sheng Family Villa as soon as possible. His grandfather had urged him many times.

His cousins and young uncles were also returning.

A power struggle would soon unfold here.

And the victor would lead the family to soar in this new world!

This not only represented status but also resources; the family would spare no effort to support the new family head.

Moreover, Sheng Tianqi’s eyes burned with fervor. At Sheng Family Villa, there was a spring that had undergone an astonishing change!

It had become incredible.

Incomparably divine!

“Let’s go.”

Sheng Tianqi left the supermarket and continued along Tianhua Avenue, his gaze falling behind him with coldness.

Their speed hadn't slowed much; in fact, it was faster than before, and everyone felt a sense of urgency.

At the very back were three bodyguards, their eyes holding a cryptic expression.

Before their eyes, a chat panel appeared that only each of them could see.

“How have you considered my proposal?”

“Are we really going to do this? Do you know what the consequences of doing so are?”

“This is betrayal. Once we do this, there will be no turning back.”

“Heh heh, betrayal. The Sheng Family only treated us like dogs. Now that the apocalypse has arrived, they still delusionally try to control us, it’s simply laughable. Don’t forget, the three of us all have A-Rank Talents. The world is vast; there might not be a place for us in the future, so why be someone else’s dog?”

“But my parents, wife, and children are all in the Sheng Family’s hands.”

“Every man for himself. If you lose your wife, you can marry again. If you lose your son, you can have another. As for parents, they should be content, having enjoyed most of their lives. I believe they will be willing to make way for us.”

The other two fell silent.

“You better think carefully. His loyal dog is dead now. We can leave anytime we want, but once we return to Sheng Family Villa, it won’t be as easy to leave.”

“Alright! I agree!”

“So, shall we leave now?”

“No rush. Don’t you want Director Sheng’s Shelter?”

“You’re crazy!”

“Hahaha, of course I’m not crazy! To tell you the truth, I don’t have an A-Rank Talent in mind control, but an S-Rank! An S-Rank Slave Seal!”

“Don’t you want to see the high and mighty Director Sheng become our dog?”

The chat panel fell into silence, but one could almost feel the suppressed fervor.

“Do you have confidence?”

“With those two S-Rank loyal dogs dead, no one can stop me. No matter how powerful Director Sheng is, how powerful can he be?”

“To tell you the truth, besides that bitch Wang Yanyan, everyone else has already been controlled by me!”

“You! How dare you!”

“I didn’t dare before, but now, heh heh.”

“Alright then, let us first see your sincerity.”
