Chapter 1 The Fourth Year

The fourth year since the apocalypse broke out.

At the foot of the mountain was a base, Mi Ling's base.

Three li outside the base, a convoy was driving towards it. Leading the way were two trucks, with a black Audi in the middle.

Mi Ling was sitting in the passenger seat. She wasn't as fair-skinned as when she was with Chen Luo, appearing somewhat dark. Her lips were dry, and her figure wasn't as full, but she exuded a different kind of beauty.

Mi Ling vigilantly scanned her surroundings, checking for zombies or other survivors with ulterior motives. Deep in her eyes, there was a hint of fatigue that was hard to detect.

Driving was Mi Li, who was still as fair-skinned as ever, but her face was pale, and her hair appeared slightly rough.

At this point, both Mi Ling and Mi Li were already King-level, but no matter how strong you were, you would suffer from malnutrition without sufficient food supplies.

This trip was for searching for supplies, but the apocalypse had already been going on for four years. Where could you find easily obtainable supplies?

Mi Ling thought to herself, "Next time, don't bring trucks. It wastes a lot of fuel going back and forth."

Looking out the window, Mi Ling had a brief moment of distraction. Zombies would eventually be killed off one day, but where was the hope for the future?

A group of ragged, gaunt survivors appeared ahead.

They were all homeless people that no base wanted, eking out a living.

They couldn't linger near Mi Ling's base, so they could only try their luck several li away.

They had heard that the leader of the base, Mi Ling, was a powerful and beautiful woman, and women were kind-hearted. They wanted to try their luck.

But they had come to the wrong person. Mi Ling wasn't easy to talk to.

"Leader Mi, please, have mercy and take me in. I'll do anything, I'm strong and can endure any hardship."

Mi Ling was expressionless. "I already think a thousand people in the base is too many. How could I possibly want a level four or five drifter like you?"

Deep down, Mi Ling sympathized with these survivors who lacked talent, but she really didn't have many supplies, almost none. Their daily staple food was the meat of mutated creatures.

What was the use of being strong if you ran out of supplies?

If she dared to take pity on them today, they would come back tomorrow, even bringing more survivors to beg.

It would be endless, clinging to you like flies.

The surrounding temperature suddenly rose. A terrifying heatwave came from Mi Ling, like the sun, scorching the nearby survivors uncomfortably.

Mi Ling said coldly, "I'll count to three. If you don't leave, you won't have to leave. I'll help you be free from suffering."

"Three."

"..."

"Wait, aren't you supposed to count from one to three? How did you go straight to three?"

Most of the people looked at Mi Ling's murderous expression and thought, "Where did this hellion come from?" They scattered in a panic.

Mi Ling sneered at the remaining people, "Looks like you really don't want to live anymore."

At this moment, a weak voice came from the crowd, "Leader Mi, I haven't eaten anything for five days. Please have pity on me."

This was a young man with clean and tidy clothes, with bright eyes.

Chen Lao Liu.

Mi Ling looked at Chen Luo's youthful appearance, with arms and legs, so young, and instead of fighting for himself, he came to beg. How could she give him anything?

Mi Ling sneered, "So, you're saying you ate something five days ago?"

Chen Luo was stunned. How could such crude words come out of Mi Ling's mouth?

Chen Luo was passing by and wanted to see these famous sisters in the apocalypse.

They were practically neighbors. Before the apocalypse, their homes weren't far apart.

Mi Ling's heatwave began to intensify, already causing the level four survivors to feel pain and their skin to crack.

If they stayed any longer, people would die.

Mi Ling really dared to kill people. The remaining survivors cursed, "If you don't give, you don't give, but you're still killing people. You're so vicious."

Mi Ling didn't refute at all. "Yes, yes, yes, I'm just that cruel. Xiao Li, next time someone blocks the road, don't stop, just run them over."

Chen Luo watched Mi Ling's convoy leave, stroking his chin. "Oh, so much personality. You're my next target."

Chen Luo hadn't stockpiled any supplies and was broke. He didn't have a base and couldn't grow food. It was the fourth year of the apocalypse, and there were very few supplies to be found.

There was no choice but to set his sights on some of the larger bases and steal their supplies.

"I was born to do this. I'm only good at Void Walk. It's impossible to fight head-on, never in this lifetime."

Chen Luo rubbed his stomach, preparing to sneak into Mi Ling's base that night to take a look.

"Big Sister, you're back."

Mi Ling didn't just go out in the morning and come back in the evening, but went out for more than ten days, searching for supplies in various places over long distances.

Mi Ling smiled and nodded, looking at Lu Tianzhu, and immediately asked, "How's our planting going?"

Lu Tianzhu's face showed a happy expression, and she said excitedly, "This time, we succeeded, we've grown vegetables!"

It wasn't just that having a nature-type ability user could grow them. They also needed planting methods. As time went on, the old methods would become ineffective.

Mi Ling's spirits lifted. "Take me to see it quickly."

Looking at the cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes, and sweet potatoes that had already been harvested, Mi Ling was very excited.

Mi Ling said, "Well done."

Mi Ling took out two level ten crystals, "This time, I didn't find any supplies, but I did get two level ten crystals. Tianzhu, take them and absorb them. When you reach King-level, it will be more beneficial for planting."

Lu Tianzhu nodded.

Looking at the twenty-odd jin of vegetables, Mi Ling rubbed her hands. These were really treasures.

If it was just Mi Ling and Mi Li eating them, they could eat them for at least ten days, but Mi Ling could become a leader, so naturally she wouldn't do that.

Mi Ling thought that tomorrow night, she would gather some core members and share them with everyone.

Mi Ling sighed. She also wanted everyone to have vegetables to eat, but she couldn't even give everyone a bite, so she could only wait until they could be grown on a large scale.

Such precious items, of course, had to be placed in her own room, under her nose, where she could keep an eye on them.

The fame of the Void Monarch Chen Luo had already spread, but Mi Ling didn't think she was so unlucky. Chen Luo was probably off wandering somewhere.

Little did she know, she had already been targeted by Chen Lao Liu.

At night, Chen Luo observed Mi Ling's base from high in the sky, carefully examining every room.

He wanted to see which one was the warehouse.

"Hmm, I'll just take a look in the central area."

Chen Luo instantly used Void Walk, silently entering several warehouses that might contain supplies.

There was nothing.

Chen Luo turned his attention to Mi Ling and Mi Li's room. Chen Luo knew this well. Good things were usually placed in the leader's residence.

Late at night, the vigilant Mi Ling suddenly heard a slight noise and instantly opened her eyes.

Even in the dark, without lights, Mi Ling could see a figure in her room.

A normal woman would definitely scream in fright, but Mi Ling quickly grabbed at the figure like lightning.

The figure turned around, gave Mi Ling a wretched smile, and then disappeared instantly.

"Space-type?"

"Void Walk!"

Mi Ling had only heard that the Void Monarch Chen Luo possessed this ability, a feat of godly skill.

Even if it was just a moment, Chen Luo might have already run hundreds of li away, and it was impossible to catch up.

After a moment of愣, Mi Ling looked at the table and exclaimed, "Where are my vegetables?!"
