Millennium: I Love Demon King

They were heading to the nearest temporary base in H City, which would take them at least ten hours to get there. Plus, they would have to take care of the survivors from the other major residential areas as well as clearing roads and resting times along the way. It would take them at least five days to get there.

Gu Cheng and Lin Xin could have lived in the district together. Neither of them had any relatives they cared about seeking out, nor any need to seek asylum. But a human was still a social animal. It was enough for him to have Lin Xin, but she was afraid of loneliness. As she followed the caravan, at least she had other people she could chat with and socialize with. The other important reason was that the area had pretty much cleared most of the zombies. If they wanted to obtain more crystal cores, it would be a good choice to follow the caravan. With so many living bait, there would be many zombies along the way.

As the car drove through the streets of the district, the surrounding zombies began to gather. They were attracted by the tempting food and followed the caravan. Each of the five military trucks was equipped with four snipers. The dim night and the moving cars did not obstruct them too much. Along the way, they heard intermittent gunshots. While driving, Gu Cheng was also able to hear and distinguish the location, using his spiritual force to harvest the crystal cores of the zombies' brains. Very quickly, he had collected a small bag.

Very quickly, the team reached a location close to the Huxiang community. Unlike the cleanliness of the Green Origin Sector, there were many zombies gathered in the outer parts of the district. When they smelled the scent of strangers, they quickly rushed towards the caravan like a tidal wave.

Amid the heavy fire of snipers and soldiers, Chief Liu held the megaphone and began his mobilization again. The gunshots, the screams, and the cries of children made his voice sound even more tragic.

Gu Cheng's hearing was much sharper than an ordinary person's. More and more zombies were pouring out from every corner of Huxiang District. The dense smell of food and the thrill of all sorts of sounds filled the air. These zombies were preparing to enjoy a sumptuous feast. Travelling at night was already a taboo. In addition to their reckless actions, Gu Cheng judged that the army would soon be unable to hold on. Their ammunition was limited, but the zombies were endless …

He thought for a moment and then said to Lin Xin who had been alerted to come out to see what was going on, "Take advantage of the fact that there are still few zombies surrounding us, and bring those three families to our car. Remember to close the door, and don't let anyone else get on.

Gu Cheng handed her two steel tubes, opened the door and cleaned up all the nearby zombies. He then nimbly jumped onto the car's back, and advanced towards the carts, harvesting zombies along the way. The night wind blew his black shirt up into the air, and his handsome face was filled with the solemn arrogance of a death god. Occasionally, he would glance at him with his cold, deep eyes, and for some reason, he would break out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, Chief Liu, who had been closely watching the mysterious couple on the seventh floor from the start, was closely watching them with a telescope in his hand. He didn't know what kind of move they had used, but the tense situation quickly turned into one-sided. As he got closer and closer to the front of the convoy, the military trucks that were surrounded by zombies were released one by one. A small soldier wiped away the tears on his face and silently picked up the machine gun of his comrade who was dragged down the truck by the zombies.

Because Gu Cheng had already swept through the nearby zombies before leaving, Lin Xin went out very smoothly. She gently knocked on Boss Yang's car, and after making a gesture of coming out, she bent down to notify the next house. After being together for a few months, everyone had a tacit understanding. No one asked her anything and confidently opened the car door to follow Lin Xin to the last bus.

In a short ten meters, the scattered zombies were quickly disposed of by a few families. Lin Xin was surprised to find that everyone's speed and strength seemed to have increased. She thought that it was probably due to the fact that they often went out to hunt for zombie cores. Everyone smoothly arrived. Just as Lin Xin was about to unlock the car door, she suddenly heard Miss Ma curse, "Who are you? Why are you following me?"

It was a young man who had come to try and get on the bus with Gu Cheng in the evening. The reason why she had such a deep impression of him was because his gaze seemed especially inappropriate. Although his face was all smiles when he was staring at someone, it gave her the feeling that he was being eyed by a venomous snake.

"Big sister, don't be so distant, I'm also from your district, so I only live in Block 1. I usually meet people from the neighborhood, it's always convenient to be with them, there are so many zombies outside, our car is too small, it's too inconvenient for six people to squeeze in." "Since your cars are big, it wouldn't be too much to have more of us." The young man chuckled, trying to give the impression of a good temper.

"You know me? I don't know you, and the car isn't ours. Mr. Gu let us get on the car was his kindness, but we can't decide on anyone else. Do you want to get on the car? Go ask him." Miss Ma pointed, indicating that they should go to the front of the caravan to look for Gu Cheng.

The three of them glanced at the Cold-faced Death God who was jumping on the back of the car. They exchanged a look and one of them suddenly noticed Lin Xin holding the keys to the car and walked up to her as if she was stealing the keys from her hands.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xin's reaction was so fast that it was shocking. Her left hand moved backwards, and in the next second, the steel pipe in her right hand was already pressing down against his throat.

The three of them were shocked. They had never expected to see such a delicate beauty with such black hands!

Before the apocalypse, they hid in the temporary huts where the workers lived while they were building the residential complex. In the end, the residential complex was built by real estate agents and they forgot to demolish the temporary huts, turning them into a gambling den for the nearby hooligans to gather the crowd to play cards and gamble on. On the night of the meteor shower, the few people playing cards with them turned into zombies. Fortunately, they woke up quickly and didn't forget to run away when they saw their comrades eating the meat. Later on, they hid in the guard room of the residential complex. With their numbers, they still stole a lot of supplies and barely managed to hold on until the arrival of the army.

As a result, they didn't know about Lin Xin's background and thought that apart from the man, Lin Xin wasn't that easy to deal with. They didn't think much of her at all. The six of them had their eyes on their bus from the start. Looking at their ruddy faces, they concluded that there was definitely plenty of food inside the bus. While the man was running ahead to send him off, they were still thinking about how to trick the woman off, so she got off herself. Such a good opportunity, even if the army wanted to, they could push it onto the zombies. Suddenly, evil came from the side of their courage, and they followed Lin Xin and the others over.

There were a few old, weak, and children. The six of them were all young and able-bodied. Their victory was originally real, but as soon as they started fighting, it was immediately splashed with ice-cold water, causing their hearts to turn cold.

The young man who was pressed down by the steel pipe suddenly felt a pain in his throat. Warm blood was flowing down his neck, causing him to be terrified. Everyone smelled a fishy smell. When they turned around to look, they saw that the person had lost control of his body due to the yellow liquid at the bottom of his pants.

At this moment, Lin Xin's pair of beautiful eyes were exactly the same as Gu Cheng's, revealing an ice-cold chill. She arrogantly raised her chin, only spitting out a single word, "Scram!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two people beside him carried the person who was about to faint up and ran away as fast as they could.

Everyone burst into laughter. Lin Xin shook the bloodstained steel pipe and opened the door to let everyone in. She was holding two pipes at the door of her car. Occasionally, a few blind zombies would pounce at them, but they were quickly taken care of by her. After a while, they were called to a halt by the Liu Clan. They saw the itch in their hands and strongly demanded someone to clean up the zombies.

Lin Xin helplessly smiled and obeyed their wishes. She didn't even have time to dig up the crystal core before giving it to the Liu family. The Liu family, on the other hand, was more cautious than her. Under Grandpa Liu's instructions, Grandma Liu and Miss Ma were responsible for dragging the dead zombies to the back of the bus.

Lin Xin couldn't help but sigh. As expected, old ginger is spicier.

Their movements soon attracted the attention of the cars in front, and more and more people were getting off the cars to help the troops clean up the nearby zombies. Even the old man with white hair and the woman with less strength than the man got off the cars to kill the zombies.

"Green Source District is really an anomaly!" Chief Liu sighed with his aide-de-camp at the side. The people were so fierce, if the Huxiang District had their own ruthlessness and ruthlessness, then every zombie would be more energetic than the last. There wouldn't be so many zombies surrounding the district. It was precisely because they first entered the district that the rescue mission gave him the wrong impression, thinking that City H's zombie problem was not that serious. After all, before the apocalypse, City H's population was not very dense, so in order to rush over to the Huxiang District so recklessly, he was almost surrounded by zombies. Their firearms and ammunition were only in the one district of Huxiang City, but they had already lost nearly a third of their ammunition. If it were not for the fact that there were four families on Building 8, this mission would have been disastrous.

"It would be great if we could officially recruit this Gu Cheng." He knew it was impossible, and sighed again with regret.

More than an hour later, the zombies in Huxiang District were finally cleared out. After the military had assured them that they were safe, the survivors of the district gathered in groups of twos and threes on the flower beds in the center of the district.

The housing area of the Huxiang District was twice the size of the Green Source District, but the number of survivors was not much higher than theirs. Chief of Staff Liu looked at the yellow-skinned man in front of him and couldn't bear it any longer. He ordered his men to work overtime to boil some thin porridge. After a simple count of the casualties, they set aside two separate areas to rest and made arrangements for the later half of the night before returning to the resting area exhausted.

Just as he was about to lie down, he was startled by the sudden appearance of the man in black. Subconsciously, he reached for the holster on his waist. After seeing the face of the person, he relaxed and sat up on the bed.

"Mr. Gu."

The person who had just arrived was precisely Gu Cheng. He nodded his head and casually tossed out a heavy bag of stuff onto Chief of Staff Liu's bed. Multicolored crystal cores fell out of the open bag, emitting a magnificent luster.

"What is this?" He randomly picked one up. Even if it was a coarse old man, he had no choice but to admit that this shiny object was very beautiful.

"A crystal dug out from the brain of a zombie."

As soon as he said that, Chief of Staff Liu quickly threw away the things in his hand. He kept rubbing his fingers on his pants, afraid that he would be infected by a virus. Calming down, he thought that the reason he came late at night to deliver such a bag to him was definitely not to make a joke like this. With his abilities, he could have safely escaped them at any time, or even easily taken their lives under heavy protection.

With that in mind, he picked up the crystal core again, moved it closer to the candle and looked at it carefully.

"How do I use this?"

"These were collected by the zombies your soldiers killed. Pick a team with good physical conditions and feed it to them. Whether or not you can arouse their superpowers will depend on their luck." Also, I hope you can keep this a secret within the army. The effect of the crystal nucleus would be known by others soon enough. However, the earlier one advanced the ability of the national machine, the more likely they would be able to seize the initiative in the apocalypse and punish the evildoers. "You say that, don't you?"

After saying this, Gu Cheng left another sentence for her, "I recommend that you give it a try first." He teleported, and in the blink of an eye, he was once more on the bus. The other three families had already returned to their cars to rest. No matter how big the bus was, it wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people for the night. They also did not want to disturb the world of Lin Xin and Gu Cheng, the two of them. Lin Xin liked to interact with these three families for a reason. With more understanding and self-awareness between people, they would naturally get along well. No matter how poor the three families were, they had never taken the initiative to ask for food from them. They had never taken Lin Xin and Gu Cheng's kindness for granted.

It was this kind of self-awareness that made Gu Cheng feel at ease in letting Lin Xin come into contact with them. In his previous life, he had seen a lot of ingrate, and the matter of getting revenge on Mi En had always made people's hearts go cold. At this moment, Lin Xin was already asleep on the soft bed in the back of the carriage. The early autumn night was a little cold, and her small body was wrapped in a snow-white silk blanket.

He sat quietly at her bedside and stared at her for half the night in fascination, noticing her flustered breath and the rolling eyeballs beneath her closed eyes. Then he laughed and got up to go to the bathroom and bathe, though he was still feeling refreshed after a hard battle. After hearing the sound of his footsteps and the sound of water splashing in the bathroom, Lin Xin, who pretended to be asleep, slowly opened her eyes. A moment later, the sound of the water stopped and she quickly closed her eyes. A moment later, she smelled the smell of some sports brand's body wash, just like her, and then she heard the sound of the quilt being lifted.

Because of the limitation of the area between them, she and his bed were in the rear of the carriage. Their bed was only half a meter apart, separated from each other by a curtain.

If it were before, she would never have believed that she would be in the same room with a grown man she had not known for long. But now, she was quietly lying on the bed, listening to his calm breathing as he slept. This deep sense of trust was something she had never felt towards anyone before. Thinking back to how she had suddenly woken up to find Gu Cheng sitting by her bed, quietly watching her, Lin Xin's face heated up as she buried herself in the blankets.

Early the next morning, the military had already begun inspecting the survivors in Huxiang District. It was around seven o'clock when all the work was done. Most of the new survivors had their own cars – there were a lot of ownerless cars in the district, and some smart people even used a straw to collect some of the remaining gasoline from the empty gas tanks. But luckily, since the soldiers in the army were also collecting, no one got into any trouble over the resources.

Gu Cheng woke up even earlier than them. There were so much gasoline and diesel in the room that he didn't fight with those people, and while everyone was still waiting for him to go, he had happily brought Lin Xin along to search around the neighborhood, pitiful for the zombies that had escaped from the massacre last night, the ones that had woken up early to find food, the ones that had been taken care of by the two people who had woken up early in the morning to train. With Gu Cheng's omnipotent spiritual force, Lin Xin didn't even need to dig out her crystal nucleus. With Gu Cheng's mental strength, Lin Xin didn't even need to dig out her crystal core.

By the time they finished their morning exercise, the team was ready to leave. Due to the consideration of the battle efficiency of the two districts, the Huxiang District's team of survivors was arranged to be in the middle of the line. The army and the Green Origin District's cars were arranged to be at either end of the line.

After Gu Cheng's sudden visit last night, Chief of Staff Liu quickly summoned his aide-de-de-camp and gathered the suicide squads and snipers together. He had swallowed a golden crystal before, and a moment later, he felt that both his hands were full of energy. He tried to punch the wall, but the wall unexpectedly had a big hole in it, scaring the soldiers who were just about to report to him.

The high obedience of a good soldier did not worry him at all about the secret of the crystal nucleus being spread out. After giving a brief explanation, he poured the bag of cores onto the table. The soldiers didn't say anything further and just picked one for themselves. Due to their outstanding physical qualities, most of the first batch of soldiers who consumed crystal cores were able to stimulate their superpowers. Chief Liu didn't waste the last few crystals he had left. He divided them among the soldiers, according to their respective Disciplines. As for the soldiers who hadn't used their Discipline yet, he promised that they would distribute the cores among themselves.

The moment this order was given, the members of the death squadron became extremely excited. When they set out, they were all eager to meet more zombies so they could obtain more crystals to increase their strength. This scared all of the ordinary soldiers on the train and they all looked at them as if they were crazy.

Chief of Staff Liu had his own plans. He wanted to nurture an elite team, so the centralized distribution of crystal cores was particularly important. After the team showed a preliminary scale, they expanded the scope of the use of crystal cores to ordinary soldiers. He ruminated over Gu Cheng's words. The crisis of the apocalypse was not just about zombies and the lack of food. Just like he had hinted, the apocalypse was more about the lack of protection for kindness and justice. Allowing these sins to continue to grow, that was the true end of the world.

In the end, he simply got up and used a transmitter during the night, reporting this matter to the Supreme Commander. This directly led to the establishment of the famous special forces with special abilities throughout the country, having a far-reaching impact on the establishment of the various large bases of order in the later generations. Of course, this was all in the future. At the moment, Chief of Staff Liu was leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed. Even though he was no longer young, he was unable to bear the pain after enduring the entire night.

"Chief, the ones on the seventh floor have returned. They are still following the team from the back." The aide took out his binoculars and followed his orders to report the latest news about Gu Cheng.

"Mm, got it."

As the car drove slowly through the city center, its grandiose number of carriages quickly attracted the attention of the nearby survivors. New cars continuously followed along the way. Slowly, Gu Cheng's bus landed in the middle of the group.

Aside from the living, the movement of so many cars also attracted the attention of many zombies. Because there were cars blocking the road, the carriages had to stop and clean up, so the speed of the carriages couldn't be increased. Soon, the zombies caught up to the carriages, and the last few cars were surrounded by a group of zombies. Hearing a miserable scream, Lin Xi looked in the rearview mirror and saw that the last window of the car had been smashed by an evolved zombie. The person inside the car was quickly grabbed and dragged out by the zombies, and not long after, they were all eaten by the zombies.

Witnessing this frightening scene, the cars at the back of the line began to madly push forward. In their panic, those few cars chased after them and crashed into them, blocking their way out.

"These idiots!" Gu Cheng cursed silently, handing the steering wheel to Lin Xin. He instructed her to follow the car carefully, then opened the door and went out to resolve the sudden situation.

At the same time, the troops in front of them also encountered a problem. As the survivors who joined in along the way were stuck in a mess, the entire convoy was broken up into a few scattered parts, unable to catch each other's attention. Fortunately, the members who had eaten crystal cores before now all had a great increase in strength. Speed type, strength type, wood type, water type, ice type, lightning type... they were all experienced fighters, so they quickly learned how to combine their special abilities to deal with zombies with the greatest efficiency.

They were split into groups, the wood element were responsible for catching and rushing the zombies. The water element members sprayed out a thin layer of mist at the zombies, then the lightning element members released a few bolts of lightning. With the help of the water's electrical conductivity, the moment they attacked, a large area of zombies collapsed in front of them, quickly clearing out a large area. The caravan gradually regained its rhythm of attack. After Gu Cheng had cleared away most of the zombies, the survivors from the Green Origin Sector got off the vehicle to help clean up the fish that had fallen into the net. After observing for a long time, the rest of the team came down with weapons like baseball bats and golf balls to beat up zombies.

For a time, the surrounding zombies became a food that was sent to their doorstep and were carried away. After over half an hour, Gu Cheng's group once again lined up at the back of the convoy. This was because those newcomers had already been frightened to their core by the tragic scene earlier, forcing their way to the front of the convoy as they tried their best to get closer to the army. On the contrary, the residents of the Green Origin Sector had been following Gu Cheng and his team in their cars the entire time. They didn't care if they were left behind. They were still secretly mocking these people who didn't know the situation. In the span of three months, the famous third floor of the Green Source District made them subconsciously feel that staying close to them was the safest option.

If one were to say that the moves of the army of superpower death squads in front could still be said to be quite famous, the men in black on the bus behind couldn't see how they had managed to kill so many zombies. If one were to say that the soldiers in front of them could still see the moves of the superpower death squads, the men in black on the bus behind them couldn't see how they had managed to kill so many zombies.

When Gu Cheng saw that the army's large truck had intentionally parked by the roadside and was not following them, he knew in his heart that they were waiting for everyone to leave so that they could clean up the battlefield. Sure enough, after about 40 minutes, the military truck appeared in everyone's line of sight and joined the team that was cleaning the zombies on the outskirts of South City Garden.

Grandpa Liu was surrounded by a fireball on one side, while a fireball was trying to ambush the surrounding zombies. The others, on the other hand, were surrounding the large bus, working together to dig out the core. Even the slightly older kid in the middle of the two families had begun learning how to dig out the core. With the experience from the previous two battles with zombies, more and more people began to take up weapons and attack zombies. Although the zombies at this time were more difficult to deal with than the new zombies at the beginning of the apocalypse, people learned to work together with two or three other people. As more zombies were eliminated, their coordination and proficiency increased. His state of mind had been numb from the start, and he had gradually found a way to survive in the future.

However, there were only a few survivors who were happy about the turn of events. There was still a large portion of them that stayed in the car from the beginning to the end, screaming as they were surrounded by zombies. There were even some that complained repeatedly, saying that if they knew that following an army was dangerous, they might as well stay at home and hide. Gu Cheng's sharp spiritual force allowed him to reap the heads of zombies, while also allowing him to clearly hear all the different forms of life that came from afar.

He was too lazy to even sneer at such a person.

Such a life was only the beginning. The army was only responsible for saving them this time. They were only responsible for bringing them to a temporary safe base temporarily. After the nearby large and small towns' main life force had been cleared out, the zombies would sooner or later gather at the nearby base due to hunger. Cleaning up the zombies near the base was an important and stable daily task for every base. Many people relied on this daily task to obtain the daily needs of a large family. Some bases even allowed people who accepted missions to keep a certain amount of supplies that they found while cleaning up the zombies. If he didn't practice well now, then when the zombies advance to level two, he would have even less time to practice.

The apocalypse was undoubtedly a nightmare that set forth the most brutal realities of Darwin's theory of evolution.

Those who are still dreaming and unwilling to wake up, just wait for the reality to give them a face hehe.
