This mutated deer was originally targeted by Ye Yu for consumption, but it was unexpectedly intercepted.
Especially since the subordinates behind the man and woman were wearing the uniforms of the Tiangong base's armed forces.
To prevent the news of his survival from being exposed, Ye Yu had no choice but to leave.
After narrowly escaping death, Ye Yu understood a truth: only by living and continuously becoming stronger could revenge be possible.
Now, for the sake of temporary satisfaction, Ye Yu felt it was unnecessary.
The man was actually able to transform a fierce, mutating deer directly into a pile of garbled data, and then into a figurine.
He had never seen such an ability before, but now he had.
Ye Yu, who had disappeared, went to an extremely hidden place and attempted to turn a mutated small animal into data.
He failed in the end, but Ye Yu was already able to turn stones into data.
Ye Yu himself possessed a secret he had never told anyone: his awakened ability was replication.
Initially, he had no supernatural powers at all, until he encountered a fire-element ability user.
From then on, the abilities he replicated kept increasing, and he continuously cultivated the powerful and favored abilities to become stronger.
Ye Yu, with his replication ability, was like the protagonist in a novel, rising from obscurity.
Unfortunately, good times did not last. An incident occurred that caused everyone around him to die, leaving only him to barely survive.
He realized he was still not strong enough, and he was no match for the Tiangong, which now ruled this land.
Therefore, he had to become stronger. The dragon patterns on his body could enhance his physique and abilities, but he had to constantly devour alien beasts.
Alien beasts were mutated wild animals. Although he lost a mutated deer for nothing, he also gained an ability.
So, in this situation, it was not a loss.
He still had immense potential waiting to be unleashed. Only by becoming a supreme expert who could dictate the world's fate could he overthrow Tiangong.
Under Tiangong's rule, there was no future, only rule driven by Tiangong's selfishness.
Tiangong was not dealing with the many mutated zombies and alien beasts outside, and was instead enjoying the benefits of their reign. To his knowledge, Tiangong had been researching something.
Ye Yu touched the dragon patterns on his back. They had felt strange just now; why were they hot?
Zhao Yunhai looked thoughtfully in another direction. He had just sensed someone in the space opposite them, and now that person had left.
"Wait for me here," Zhao Yunhai told his subordinates to protect Yang Hui, and then disappeared from his spot in an instant.
"You must be careful," Yang Hui said, worried after Zhao Yunhai disappeared.
Using spatial teleportation, Zhao Yunhai instantly appeared where that person had been, looking at the footprints on the ground.
"Huh!!!"
Zhao Yunhai seemed to sense something at this moment. He took out a scale, which felt warm and glowed.
It seemed that the person from just now had a connection with the scale in his hand.
Interesting. No wonder Chu Ning didn't clean up properly.
Could it be that the protagonist has appeared?
Is this scale a part of the protagonist's cheat?
Afterward, Zhao Yunhai used spatial positioning to repeatedly appear in places where that person had been.
Standing by a campfire, Zhao Yunhai touched the warm ashes in the fire pit and looked thoughtfully at the discarded bones around him.
It seemed this person had lived here for some time. Interesting.
Meanwhile, Ye Yu fled at full speed, combining his speed ability with an amplification ability.
The increasingly hot dragon patterns earlier made Ye Yu realize something was very wrong, likely indicating that the dragon patterns were warning him of approaching danger.
Ye Yu dared not be careless and kept running, but the dragon patterns continued to heat up, clearly indicating that the danger was still pursuing him.
Was it a dog?
What a keen sense of smell, chasing so relentlessly.
Ye Yu, still shaken, lay on the ground, panting heavily. Finally, the pursuit had stopped.
After being chased for so long, he didn't even know if his pursuer was human or ghost, yet he had run so wildly.
His speed was so great that he was almost caught; the opponent's strength was unimaginable.
"It's too terrifying."
Ye Yu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, still lingering in fear.
Zhao Yunhai, on the other hand, was too lazy to continue the chase. The fact that he couldn't catch the other person despite his pursuit further confirmed his belief that the other person was the protagonist.
So, Zhao Yunhai took out his satellite phone and contacted Chu Ning.
"Young Master Yun," Chu Ning's tone was extremely respectful.
Even though Chu Ning was now a powerful figure controlling a vast territory, he did not dare to become arrogant.
Chu Ning knew that if he became arrogant, it would only take a word for someone else to replace him.
Although Chu Ning controlled the entire Tiangong, the key positions were filled by people promoted by Wang Fan.
These people were loyal to Wang Fan and could not be bribed by him.
"Come over," Zhao Yunhai said vaguely on the phone.
"Yes," Chu Ning dared not delay and quickly rushed towards Young Master Yun.
Two hours later, Chu Ning appeared before Zhao Yunhai, bowing his head respectfully.
If outsiders saw this, they would be absolutely stunned: the dignified ruler of Tiangong was bowing and scraping to someone.
"This scale is not complete, is it?"
Zhao Yunhai tossed the scale to Chu Ning and said indifferently, "Are you sure that ability user team is all dead?"
"Young Master Yun, I'm sure they are all dead."
"Only this scale treasure was left at the scene, but we don't know how to use it."
Chu Ning was startled by this sudden action and quickly picked up the scale with great care.
"I'll give you another chance," Zhao Yunhai walked up to Chu Ning, his tone becoming even more indifferent.
Chu Ning subconsciously swallowed, feeling an inexplicable surge of pressure.
He then tried hard to recall the details, his forehead beaded with cold sweat under Zhao Yunhai's pressure.
"Young Master Yun, I remember now. He died without a body, but the bodies of the others were found."
"At that time, I thought he was blown up and died without a complete corpse."
"Yes, there are photos, there are photos."
Chu Ning finally recalled a detail and quickly had his subordinates send him the photos.
"Young Master Yun, please take a look. This is a photo of that person. His name is Ye Yu. Before the apocalypse, he was an ordinary otaku."
"After the apocalypse, this person awakened multiple abilities, and those who opposed Ye Yu all died one by one."
Zhao Yunhai looked at the person in the photo and suddenly laughed, patting Chu Ning's shoulder to signal him not to be so afraid.
"What are you afraid of? We are all on the same side. However, you did not handle this matter well, and this person should not be dead."
"He has been active in this area. Do you know what you need to do?"
Chu Ning's face showed realization, and he quickly said, "Young Master Yun, don't worry, your subordinate will definitely bring this person to you."
In his heart, Chu Ning already resented Ye Yu.
It was because this guy wasn't completely dead that he was in this state of constant fear.
"Well, consider this a test I'm giving you. Go and do it. No matter the cost, bring him to me."
Zhao Yunhai waved his hand, signaling Chu Ning could leave.
