The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World

Chapter 111: Superhumans from Science City

All the turmoil of the Mystic Azure Realm had now become fleeting smoke in the wind.

Chu Xuan reclined leisurely on a soft velvet chaise lounge. The "Venom Scripture" floated before him, turning its pages without any wind.

Chu Xuan's right hand moved ceaselessly, various poison powders swirling out inadvertently.

The poisons within the "Venom Scripture" could harm cultivators in various ways. Some could damage the soul, others could cause bleeding from the throat, some could hinder Spiritual Qi, and others could drive one into a bloodthirsty frenzy.

However, at the Foundation Establishment level, with the protection of Spiritual Qi shields, it was difficult for poison powders to infiltrate through the mouth or nose. So Chu Xuan was currently studying the art of poisoning silently and stealthily.

As long as the opponent didn't notice his poisoning, there would be no need to trigger their Spiritual Qi defenses. Even if these poisons couldn't kill the opponent, as long as they had some effect, it could give him a stable advantage in battle.

"For now, I can't return to Mystic Azure Realm. I might as well cultivate the necessary materials for refining poisons in the Zombie Farm myself."

Chu Xuan snapped his fingers, and the Purifying Corpse respectfully growled lightly, taking the spirit plant seeds from the storage bag and diligently cultivating them.

Although this Purifying Corpse wasn't talented in spells, for some reason, it was quite intelligent. It quickly learned many things, including cultivation. Just by watching Chu Xuan operate a few times, it perfectly replicates it.

Chu Xuan entrusted this task entirely to it. The feeling of not needing to personally handle everything was truly wonderful.

Next, Chu Xuan frequently shuttled between the Soul-Capturing Evil-Nurturing Array and the Haotai Hotel.

Absorbing Yin Evil Qi, refining the Large Blood Pearls, and perusing ancient texts. Doing everything simultaneously and making steady progress.

Chu Xuan found that his merit might actually enhance his comprehension. Otherwise, it couldn't explain why he was mastering the art of poisons at an increasingly rapid pace.

...

Half a month later, the intelligence from Black Blade was once again laid out before him. The main contents were mostly the same, detailing situations from various regions. Just the expansion of supernatural beings' territories. And conflicts erupting between different forces.

However, what surprised Chu Xuan somewhat was that the Science City, rising in the north of Han Country, had already begun to encircle and annihilate the Zombie Empress, seemingly gaining a significant advantage.

But it was only a slight surprise. No matter how powerful the Science City was, it was still formidable only in the eyes of the humans of this planet. In his view, it was akin to a small sect formed by Qi Refining cultivators. Even the small sects in the Kingdom of Yu with Foundation Establishment cultivators were far inferior.

Chu Xuan continued to read and soon came to the last item.

"Two superhumans sent by the Science City found us and hoped to invite the Immortal to join the Science City. I, on behalf of the Immortal, declined their invitation. - Wang Gangjian."

Chu Xuan chuckled lightly. If they truly understood his strength clearly, they would be actively seeking to affiliate rather than inviting him to join.

Wang Gangjian did the right thing. Indeed, there was no need to waste time with such people.

...

Five days later, Two Longs City.

A diminutive and emaciated figure calmly navigated through the steel and concrete jungle. His body was covered in scars—some from flames, others from frostbite.

"There used to be a swarm of killer bees in Two Longs City. Many survivors were forced to flee their homes, but now these killer bees are nowhere to be found. That Immortal likely set up something in Two Longs City, restraining those killer bees for his own use."

The agile mind of the slender figure raced swiftly, emitting even wisps of white steam from his head.

He was He Shengliang. Initially, he and Ji Shengyu had agreed to find a powerful brain enhancer to help them retrieve their lost memories.

However, such enhancers were rare, and they struggled to find one. In the end, they settled on Chu Xuan. But judging from Chu Xuan's actions, He Shengliang deduced that he was no saint and wouldn't easily agree to their request. Therefore, they needed a sincere and substantial gift.

Initially, their choice was the Zombie Matriarch. However, Chu Xuan had already taken it before them.

Later, they decided to head north to find other Zombie Matriarchs. Yet, this decision plunged them into endless nightmares. As soon as the two were spotted by members of the Science City, they faced relentless pursuit.

Several months ago, they were even captured and frozen for research by the Science City simultaneously. Fortunately, He Shengliang seized an opportunity and escaped. He fled southward, barely managing to reach here.

Initially pursued by four pursuers, he devised a plan that killed two of them. Now, only two Level 4 Superhumans remained, and he was running on fumes.

"Sure enough..." He Shengliang stared ahead at the churning black mist, a flicker of fear in his eyes. "Such terrifying black mist... If I go in, there's a 50% chance I'll die. But if I don't go in, it's 100% certain death!"

He Shengliang clenched his teeth.

"He's in there!"

"What's that?!"

At this moment, shouts came from behind.

He Shengliang turned to see a heavily modified heavy-duty Jeep plowing through debris along its path straight towards him.

There were two people in the Jeep. They had spotted He Shengliang and the thick black mist roiling ahead of him!

He Shengliang glanced deeply at the two, then without hesitation, charged into the black mist!

Screech.

The speeding Jeep abruptly halted, leaving an unsightly trail. Two Superhumans jumped out of the vehicle. One man and one woman. The man on the left was burly, with knotted muscles.

Both wore blue and white uniforms. On their chests was an emblem depicting a city illuminated by stars. It signified that both were Superhumans of the Science City. Without the stars, they would just be ordinary members of the Science City.

At this moment, both stared uncertainly at the area enveloped in black mist.

The burly man spoke gravely, "This place is eerie. That kid rushed in and might very well die. Xiaomei, what do you think? Should we report to headquarters that the kid is dead?"

The woman licked her lips, "No, the headquarters' orders were clear—'alive we need to see the person, dead we need to see the body.' How can we report without a body? I actually find this place rather pleasant; it feels quite comfortable to me."

The burly man was startled, then exclaimed with delight, "You mean... there's negative energy in the black mist?"

The woman nodded vigorously, "Such pure negative energy, I've never seen it before. I'll try it first. If I can absorb it, that means we can go in and capture that kid."

With that, she approached the edge of the black mist and extended her hands. In her palms, two swirling vortexes moved slowly.

Crackle.

The black mist was slowly absorbed into her body. In an instant, the woman felt a sensation of floating on air. She felt her power expanding rapidly.

Level 5? Level 6? Level 7?

She didn't know. All she knew was that, at this moment, she felt transcendent, as if she had surpassed the universe!

"You... you!" came the frightened shout of the burly man.

"What's wrong?"

The woman tried to speak but realized the sound that came out was no longer human. She looked down and was shocked to see her body had inflated into a sphere. And then, like a balloon filled to its limit with air...

Exploded!
