A flame mark appeared on Fu Ke’s left palm.
A thought struck her, and a raging fire erupted in her hand. She couldn’t help but smile: “The phoenix said that if I killed it, it would give me some kind of fire essence. It seems the fire essence thing wasn’t a lie.”
The flame in her palm extinguished, and Fu Ke turned and left the space. She released all her immense spiritual power, accurately locating 666 and 707.
However, she also saw Zhang Zhongmin carrying Qiu Yi.
707 was in very poor condition, her entire body pale as if all the blood in her body had been drained.
She frowned, but 707 cared most about Qiu Yi; she couldn’t ignore him. It seemed Qiu Yi was sick.
Fu Ke went downstairs, just as Zhang Zhongmin arrived carrying Qiu Yi.
Seeing Fu Ke’s normal black pupils, Zhang Zhongmin breathed a sigh of relief. Just moments before, his palms had been sweating profusely.
“Fu Ke, Qiu Yi is sick; his temperature is high. Although he took fever reducer, according to base rules, he has to stay at the observation point for 24 hours,” Qiu Yingying said. “But the conditions at the observation point are really poor. Could Qiu Yi stay with you?”
“I can stay and help take care of Qiu Yi,” Lin Yiyi quickly said, afraid that Fu Ke would refuse.
Sensing that 707’s life was slipping away, Fu Ke frowned. “I have to go out for a while. You can stay here with Qiu Yi. There’s food and everything upstairs; feel free to take whatever you want if you’re hungry or thirsty.”
She then walked past them and left.
Feng Han was a little stunned.
“Why are you both going out?” Thinking of Qiu Yinlan, Qiu Yingying felt worried and heartbroken at the same time.
“You two watch over Qiu Yi; I’ll go check on her. Feng Han, go tell Liu Guo’an that he’s in charge of the base.” Zhang Zhongmin handed the child to Lin Yiyi and chased after Fu Ke in the direction she had left.
Even with Zhang Zhongmin’s incredible speed, the person was already gone by the time he caught up.
This speed made Zhang Zhongmin somewhat uneasy; wasn’t Fu Ke’s speed a little too fast?
When Fu Ke arrived at the edge of D City, it was just as 707’s blood was exhausted and 666 was breaking through the blood array.
“707!” Fu Ke rushed over and caught the collapsed 707. Her face was deathly pale, but when she saw Fu Ke, a relieved smile appeared on her face.
“You’ve come.” The light in 707’s eyes was gradually fading.
“Promise me, tell Qiu Yi. I’m not his mother…” she said, a self-deprecating smile on her face. She was having difficulty breathing due to excessive blood loss: “Am I being selfish? I know, I know it will cause him pain, but, but, I want Qiu Yi to know, to know that I…”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely tell him,” Fu Ke said earnestly.
“Tsk tsk, so touching.” 666 successfully broke through the blood array, and at that moment, 707 slowly closed her eyes. However, 666’s expression changed slightly when he sensed the familiar aura emanating from Fu Ke.
“You killed the Phoenix!” he gritted his teeth, his fists clenched, and six long, gleaming claws suddenly emerged from between his knuckles.
Fu Ke tightly embraced 707, immediately storing her in her spatial storage. She then stood up and calmly looked at 666.
“It was me. What are you going to do about it?” In her previous life, it was rumored that the highest level of superpowers was the tenth rank, but after being reborn, Fu Ke discovered it was far more than that.
She was now a thirteenth-rank superpower user, arguably the strongest being in this timeline. Fu Ke was confident that no one could have reached the thirteenth rank at this point.
In her previous life, when she was a ninth-rank zombie, very few people even reached the ninth rank, let alone the legendary tenth rank.
Of course, except for the tenth-rank zombie king who killed her.
666’s lips curled slightly: “Hand over the Fire Essence, and I can make your death less painful, giving you a quick death.” He licked his lips as he spoke.
Fu Ke extended her left hand, flames rising from her palm: “You mean this?”
666 was captivated by the flames. The reason he had previously signed a contract with the phoenix was because phoenixes were not easy to extinguish. In fact, compared to signing a contract, obtaining the phoenix’s fire essence was clearly the best option.
The fire essence could burn everything; the Samadhi True Fire was nothing compared to it.
He stared at the flames with near fanaticism. With the fire essence, what was Zero? What was the Time and Space Administration? What about the Anti-Time and Space Administration Alliance?
As long as he had the fire essence, he could burn them all to ashes!
Licking his dry lips, 666 couldn’t wait any longer: “Yes, that’s it! Quick, give it to me. After I give it to you, I’ll make your death quicker.”
The fire essence was more violent than the phoenix and difficult to control. However, for a master who had previously signed a contract with the phoenix, controlling the fire essence was relatively easy and not very difficult.
Fu Ke’s lips curled slightly, and the flames in her hand transformed into a long fire rope that coiled around 666.
It encircled him yet maintained a distance so as not to harm 666.
666’s expression changed: “How is this possible! The fire spirit is violent! How did you manage to subdue it?” Fire spirits are generally difficult to subdue; one wrong move and they could easily become dangerous.
When a fire spirit became violent, it was incredibly terrifying.
Seeing 666’s incredulous and unwilling expression, Fu Ke understood. It seemed the phoenix had set a trap for her, but unfortunately, she hadn’t expected the spatial vortex to swallow the fire spirit.
The fire spirit that was spat out earlier looked so weak; it had probably been almost completely absorbed by the space, so how could it dare to become violent? It was thus obediently under her control.
If it weren’t for the space, and if she hadn’t known the fire spirit’s violence, she might have actually been burned by it…
“Perhaps, I have a special connection with it?” Fu Ke said with a smile. 666’s fear of the fire spirit instantly boosted Fu Ke’s confidence in dealing with it.
“Fate?” 666 sneered, his earlier apprehension vanishing as he charged forward, vines sprouting from the ground and tightly binding Fu Ke.
Fu Ke was startled; at that moment, 666 had already emerged from the flames. Its gleaming claws were poised at Fu Ke’s neck.
“Don’t you know that the phoenix and I have a master-servant contract? Its fire essence won’t harm me.”
Fu Ke truly hadn’t expected this; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so overconfident and fallen for 666’s trick. Like master, like pet— both are adept at deception!
She had been fooled by this master-servant pair!
Clearly, 666’s mental power was immense; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been able to deceive Fu Ke. Fu Ke’s face darkened. With a thought, she vanished from 666’s blade.
666 froze, squinting at his surroundings: “A spatial ability user? It seems I’m right. I put 707 in my space earlier too.”
In the apocalypse he had experienced, spatial ability users couldn’t store living beings. So when Fu Ke put 707 into his space, 666 guessed that she must have a space.
But now Fu Ke had also disappeared, which meant that Fu Ke’s space could store living things!
666 grinned, revealing a bloodthirsty smile: “Fire spirit, space, I want them both. Come out obediently, I know you can’t hide in your space forever.”
Fu Ke naturally couldn’t hide in the spatial dimension; she was merely using it to escape her earlier embarrassing situation.
While 666 was muttering outside, Fu Ke had already emerged from the spatial dimension and stood behind him, her fire essence transforming into a long whip that lashed out fiercely.
Sensing something amiss behind her, 666 somersaulted away, revealing a satisfied smile upon seeing Fu Ke: “Interesting, very interesting.”
Fu Ke discovered that although 666’s spiritual power was immense, it was different from hers. He couldn’t draw upon his spiritual power as a weapon to attack.
It seemed the reason for his powerful spiritual power was likely due to traversing many small worlds.
The fire essence’s flames enveloped her spiritual power, and Fu Ke swung the whip in her hand: “You said before that the phoenix’s flames couldn’t harm you; I’d like to see. Does the fire essence recognize its current master or its former master?”
With a flick of the whip, sparks flew.
666 abandoned his claws, a long vine appearing in his hand: “We’ll see. I hope you can make me even more amused.”
Fu Ke chuckled; this was a sign of underestimating her.
The return trip to S City was much faster than the initial trip to D City. S City wasn’t far from D City, but the initial trip had been delayed due to a lack of understanding of the situation.
“Brother Long, where are we?” Du Weiwei asked almost every so often. She was at her wits’ end.
But the silence in the car was suffocating, so Du Weiwei had to find topics to talk about with Qin Long.
“We’re in S City. Let’s drive around and see where the base is.” They had been in S City for a while, and Qin Long had been searching for the base.
“Bang!”
Something fell from the sky. Qin Long swerved to avoid it, but it still slammed into the roof, leaving a large dent.
“Ah!” Du Weiwei, blinded, was terrified by the sudden, loud noise.
“Shut up!” Hearing Du Weiwei’s piercing scream, Qin Long couldn’t help but hiss. He accelerated and then slammed on the brakes, throwing the object off the roof.
It was a zombie, its face completely disfigured.
Qin Long stopped the car, opened the door, and got out.
“Hey, brother, that’s mine.” A voice came from afar.
Qin Long looked at it; the zombie’s head and body were connected by only a thin layer of flesh, and the mark on its neck was clean, clearly from a single slash with a knife.
A man carrying a large knife strode over, just as Qin Long turned his head.
The man’s eyes then widened: “Brother Long!”
Qin Long recognized the voice; he narrowed his eyes.
The man carrying the large knife was thin and had delicate features. He didn’t match the menacing look of the knife at all. He strode over: “It really is you, Brother Long! I’ve been looking for you for so long!”
“Skinny?” Qin Long looked at him in surprise.
Skinny nodded quickly; he wasn’t as thin as he was years after the apocalypse. He looked frail, but his body was actually quite strong.
Seeing Qin Long, Skinny was incredibly excited. However, he didn’t forget to put away the crystal core: “Let’s go, Brother Long, where are you going next? I’ll go with you!”
In his previous life, he met Brother Long and followed him before meeting Xiao Bai.
But he remembered that he should have met Brother Long earlier in his previous life, but after he was reborn, he found that when he was supposed to meet Brother Long, he didn’t even see a shadow of him.
Afraid of missing Brother Long and Xiao Bai, the skinny guy stayed in S City, afraid to leave.
“I need to take Du Weiwei to the base first and then go back to D City.” Qin Long patted the skinny guy’s shoulder: “Since we’ve met, let’s go together.”
“Du Weiwei!” The skinny guy’s jaw almost dropped to the ground. What was going on??
