“There’s also my wife and two younger sisters…”
“Take us to them!”
Zhao Yu hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded in agreement.
After walking for a while, Zhao Yu has figured out and understood their identities.
The woman leading the group was actually the head of Meng’s House.
The so-called Meng’s House Village was not originally named that. At the end of the world, a woman surnamed Meng rallied a group of people to stay there, which then named after her name.
Zhao Yu became more courageous and asked, “What happened to Meng’s Family Village?”
Meng Xian, the leader had a flash of pain in her eyes but quickly recovered, answering calmly, “A mutated beast arrived, and everything was destroyed…”
“Madam, as long as you’re alive, we can establish a new Meng’s House Village elsewhere!”
“Yes…”
He observed closely and realized their sentiments seemed genuine.
He could understand the women’s loyalty, but why were the four men so devoted to Meng Xian? Did she have some unique allure?
As they crossed an open area, a shadow suddenly swept across the sky.
“Watch out, an eagle!”
Zhao Yu exclaimed.
One reason he didn’t travel during the day was because of the enormous birds in this world’s sky, which frequently attacked humans after the apocalypse.
These eagles often grabbed their prey, flew high into the sky, and then dropped them to their death.
Moreover, these birds were incredibly fast, easily reaching speeds over 100 mph, and they could reached higher speed when they were striking their prey from the sky with the aid of gravity.
Zhao Yu noticed that the eagle was targeting one of the men in the group.
He’s gone in a second!
Zhao Yu was sure humans couldn’t react in time as it happened in a blink of an eye.
However, a shadow moved over his head.
“Whiz!”
Meng Xian who was standing in front of him instantly vanished.
“Shriek!”
A miserable scream rang out.
The next second, a massive creature landed on the ground.
With wings spanning over three meters, atop it was a woman, stabbing fiercely at the eagle’s neck.
In just few second, she jumped over him and her speed was even faster than the eagle. What surprised Zhao Yu the most was the wounds on the eagle. This woman struck it with a knife over a dozen times in such short period.
In a blink, the eagle’s cries were silenced, and a dead bird lay on the ground.
“This…”
Zhao Yu watched in astonishment, hardly believing his eyes.
Could a human really match the charging speed of an eagle?
And in an instant, brought it to the ground?
Such speed, such height and such power…
But he soon realized that the others seemed accustomed to this, they even celebrated about having eagle meat for dinner.
Meng Xian jumped down, leaving the task of dealing with the carcass to others.
She approached Zhao Yu, speaking lightly, “Never seen someone like me?”
“No,” Zhao Yu shook his head honestly.
Meng Xian glanced at Zhao Yu, puzzled, “Why do you look so fair?”
H 11
What kind of question was that?
The others glanced at Zhao Yu, their eyes widening in surprise.
“Seriously, why does he look like a pretty boy?”
Meng Xian shook her head without giving it much thought and casually asked, “Ever heard of gene elixir?”
“Does the gene elixir really have such a potent effect?”
“You’ve taken the gene elixir?”
“I took the ENSBBT initial type of gene elixir…”
“Oh, you were rich before the apocalypse, weren’t you?” Meng Xian seemed a bit intrigued, sizing up Zhao Yu.
The others occasionally turned their heads to look at Zhao Yu.
He felt a bit uncomfortable, “Why do you say that?”
“The ENSBBT initial type of gene elixir was only available before the apocalypse.”
Zhao Yu asked in confusion, “Then what did you take?”
“Hehe!”
Meng Xian smiled slightly, “Of course, it’s the new type of elixir developed after the apocalypse…”
“Ever heard of the Reed Group?”
“Reed Group, one of the top three biotech companies in the world…” Zhao Yu nodded.
“That was before the apocalypse. Now, the Reed Group is the number one biotech company in the world.”
“Tell me more about it?”
“It’s said that the Reed Company, based on mutated beasts and irradiated creatures, has developed a new type of elixir suitable for human evolution.”
“One that increases strength is called ‘Strength Elixir’, and one that boosts agility is called ‘Agility Elixir’.”
“Based on the effects, they range from tier one to tier seven.”
“Tier seven?”
The elixirs were categorized by type.
“What tier of elixir have you taken?”
“Tier three!”
“Only three?!”
Zhao Yu was shocked. He had assumed the woman before him had consumed a high-tier elixir. To think that just a tier-three elixir could grant this kind of power!
“With your speed, it seems you can dodge bullets…”
“Haha, of course. Our leader here is the strongest in our village. Dodging bullets is like dodging floating feather. A piece of cake.”
The people around spoke proudly for their leader’s ability.
“I’ve taken tier three Agility Elixir and tier three Strength Elixir.”
Zhao Yu felt a pang of envy.. If he could also consume this new type of elixir, wouldn’t his abilities greatly improve?
