Chapter 352 Soaring Through the Clouds! The Monk of Difficulty!
"boom!"
The golden cudgel slammed into the ground, sinking the ground two or three meters and creating a long, narrow depression.
As the baton fell, everything returned to calm, except for the few Sequence Ability users who were screaming and wailing in agony.
The survivor who had run out earlier collapsed to the ground upon seeing this, his mouth agape.
He had never seen such a terrifying attack. It wasn't that he had never seen a Sequence Ability user make a move before, but the only Sequence Ability users he had ever seen were these few Japanese devils.
Their highest sequence level is only Sequence 8, and they don't have any attack methods as terrifying as Zhuo Wu's.
Although Zhuo Wu is also a Sequence 8, he cannot be viewed through the lens of a Sequence 8.
Anyone who actually mistakes him for a Sequence 8 ability user is in for a lot of trouble.
He may seem ordinary, but it depends on who you compare him to.
Chu Sheng goes without saying; he has already advanced to Sequence Six, completely widening the gap with the lower sequence levels and reaching the middle sequence level.
Besides him, An Xi and Qing Qing are also only Sequence Seven, but both of them are Mythical Sequence.
Whether in terms of sequence rank or sequence type, it surpasses Zhuo Wu by a wide margin.
Zhu Qing was the same.
In terms of combat strength, Zhuo Wu was not as strong because of the others, and in terms of leading the way, Hui and Fang Hong were also better than him.
As for Old Man Li, Ah Xin, and Xingzi, they are not even on the same track.
But no one in the team ever underestimated his abilities.
Not everyone can protect dozens of ordinary survivors for a year during the apocalypse.
"Awesome!" Zhuo Wu retracted the enlarged golden cudgel and shouted, "I've wanted to beat up those Japanese devils for a long time, but I didn't have the chance before the apocalypse. I never thought I'd actually run into them after the apocalypse!"
"I feel so good!" He jumped around a few times, looking completely refreshed.
Chu Sheng looked at him quietly, his brows furrowing slightly. He sensed that Zhuo Wu's spiritual power had increased a little.
Although not much, it has indeed increased.
This wasn't the sequence's own growth, but rather a sudden surge in spiritual power; otherwise, he wouldn't have found it strange.
He looked at Zhuo Wu, who was still looking relaxed and seemed unaware of the increase in his mental strength.
Seeing this, Chu Sheng did not take the initiative to tell him, but looked at the Chinese survivor and said, "Since you want to join us, you should know our rules first."
He continued, "I don't expect you to do anything, but the floating island doesn't support idlers. I will allocate land to you, and you will have to farm to support yourself."
"Half of the harvest must be handed over, and the rest is yours. In addition, fighting is prohibited on the floating island, and doing anything that violates basic morality is also forbidden."
"No problem! No problem! I'll definitely do my job well and not cause any trouble!" He nodded hurriedly, seemingly afraid that Chu Sheng and the others wouldn't take him along.
Zhuo Wu, now satisfied, looked at the survivor and, remembering that he was an international student, immediately asked, "Since you're an international student, you should still remember that knowledge, right?"
Without waiting for his reply, she continued, "I am compiling teaching materials to educate the new generation born in the apocalypse about what happened before the apocalypse. You can help me with that."
Upon hearing this, the survivor immediately looked distressed, wanting to say something but hesitant to do so.
Upon seeing his demeanor, An Xi immediately understood his background.
“He can’t help you. Look at him, he’s obviously just here to get a resume.”
"You'd be better off brainstorming with the survivors on the island than relying on him."
An Xi crossed her arms and pointed sharply at the survivor.
Upon hearing An Xi's words, Zhuo Wu looked at him, his expectant gaze turning into disappointment.
However, he didn't say anything, after all, he himself was a poor student, but also a spirited young man, and he knew very well how hard it was to study.
The survivor who had fallen to the ground heard An Xi's words and glanced at Zhuo Wu's somewhat disappointed look. His heart pounded with anxiety, fearing that they would not take him along. He quickly got up from the ground and pointed ahead.
"Brother! Sister! I really don't have much education, and I'm just here to get some prestige."
He sounded a little disappointed at this point, but quickly cheered himself up. "I originally came here to get some experience and then go back to learn how to manage a company from my dad."
"I never imagined that the end of the world would come, and that I wouldn't be able to go back."
"Although I am uneducated, I know where to find these textbooks!"
“The university I attended was in that direction. It had Chinese classes, and I saw teachers taking out textbooks from China. The university also had a library with all kinds of books.”
"However, I don't know how many domestic textbooks are included, but I'm sure there are domestic textbooks among them. It's only been about a year since the apocalypse, so those books must still be there."
As he spoke, he glanced nervously at Zhuo Wu, then at Chu Sheng, who looked like a formidable opponent, swallowed hard, and said in a trembling voice, "But there are many strange things in the city."
"I ran away with these Japanese soldiers and it took me almost a year to get here."
"It will probably take about the same amount of time to get back."
He cautiously observed Chu Sheng and his group of four, but this time his gaze was entirely fixed on Zhuo Wu.
Upon hearing his words, Zhuo Wu did not speak immediately. Instead, he looked at Chu Sheng and glanced at the floating island in the sky. Seeing that the direction of their journey was indeed in that direction, he said to Chu Sheng, "Brother Chu, if I remember correctly, we are heading towards Tokyo, right?"
"Yes." Chu Sheng nodded. "We should head in that direction. After all, we can't rely entirely on trading to obtain extraordinary materials."
"Going out to kill monsters and obtain extraordinary materials can also make us stronger."
"Both hunting and trading cannot be neglected."
"That's good. I'll go to that library he mentioned and take everything I can. I'll try to pack up the whole library and take it with me. Whatever it is, if it's in a library, it must be useful. Books from before the apocalypse will be treasures in the future."
"Whatever you want, take it back if you want." Chu Sheng said, glancing at him, pausing, and adding, "If you can really take it back, I'll have Youming build you a library."
If Zhuo Wu can really bring the library back, that would be a good thing for him.
Youming is an intelligent life form with terrifying computing power. Although she can calculate the probability of many things, she still needs to have a sufficient knowledge base.
Up to now, Youming has only scanned a dozen or so books that he kept in the warehouse.
Especially the books that discuss human reproduction and emotions.
It was because of this book that Youming kept calculating the probability of human reproduction for him.
If Zhuo Wu takes the library back, and You Ming scans all the books inside, he probably won't be bothered by him so much.
Chu Sheng thought for a moment, glanced at the filthy survivor, Liu Zi, and finally fixed his gaze on Qing Qing.
After he explained the sequence plundering steps to Qingqing, she immediately began plundering the sequence. She was completely unprepared and didn't realize that this place wasn't suitable for sequence plundering.
About ten minutes later, the screams of those Japanese high school students had stopped.
The three people who had been turned into human pigs had already fallen into a coma due to excessive blood loss. After they fell into a coma, Chu Sheng used black flames to char the cuts, forcibly stopping the bleeding and keeping them alive.
Yamamoto Daiki, who was scorched by the Geng metal fire, had already had all his spiritual power burned away by the Geng metal fire and had also fallen into a coma. An Xi also stopped the burning of the Geng metal fire.
Qingqing opened her eyes and exclaimed, "Ha! I did it!"
As she spoke, she put her hands on her hips, giving off a very impressive look.
"Alright, stop being so smug. Now that it's done, let's go back."
As he spoke, Chu Sheng looked at An Xi.
Feeling his gaze, An Xi pouted and looked at the three Sequence Ability Users who had been turned into human pigs on the ground with some disgust.
Chu Sheng has no ability to fly. If he wants to return to the floating island, he can only ask the floating island to lower its altitude, or have Qingqing or Anxi take him.
Between lowering the height of the floating island and having Anxi take him with her, he chose the latter.
Hearing An Xi's words, Chu Sheng glanced at the three human pigs on the ground, turned to Qingqing, and said, "Qingqing, help me take these three people back."
"I'll give you a remote-controlled racing car toy when we get back."
"Really?!" Qingqing's eyes widened, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"Leave it to me!"
As she spoke, her body glowed with a blue light, and in an instant, she transformed into a blue dragon about ten meters long.
As she transformed into a blue dragon, wisps of mist of different colors rose from beneath her, enveloping her in just two breaths and forming a colorful auspicious cloud.
"Look! My new ability~"
Qingqing's cheerful voice came from the auspicious clouds, and then a dragon head emerged from the top of the clouds, shaking its head and showing off to Chu Sheng and the others.
At the same time, mist formed beneath the three human pigs, transforming into a cloud that lifted them up, following behind the auspicious cloud where Qingqing was hiding.
"This is that bastard Kameda's ability?!" The survivor, Ruko, stared wide-eyed at the sight, utterly shocked.
However, he didn't say it out loud. Although he was just trying to get a degree, he wasn't a fool, thanks to his family's influence.
The ability that originally belonged to Kameda has now appeared in this girl's body, which obviously means she has some kind of secret. He is just an ordinary person, and whatever the secret may be, it has nothing to do with him.
All he could do was shut up.
Chu Sheng glanced at him but said nothing.
He didn't intend to deliberately hide the matter of sequence plunder.
This kind of thing will definitely become commonplace in the future.
It's just a matter of sooner or later.
Once the survivor lands on the floating island, the Netherworld will begin monitoring him, making it difficult for him to leave the island, let alone contact other teams.
So even if he knew, it wouldn't have any impact.
As for whether he would cause trouble on the floating island, Chu Sheng was even less worried.
Putting aside the fact that Youming has comprehensive surveillance, even if he really dares to cause trouble, he can at most find other survivors.
For Chu Sheng, no matter how many survivors there were, they were just useless, beings he could crush with a thought.
As for targeting other sequence ability users, that goes without saying. Which ability user in the team doesn't know that sequences can be plundered?
"Let's go!" Upon seeing Qingqing transform into her true form as an azure dragon, An Xi's mind stirred, and she transformed into a hundred-meter-tall Gengjin White Tiger, while simultaneously gesturing to Chu Sheng to come up.
"Zhuo Wu, take him up there." Chu Sheng said to Zhuo Wu, then pushed off with both legs and leaped a hundred meters into the air, landing on An Xi's tiger head.
Upon seeing Chu Sheng approach, An Xi curled her claws and grasped the unconscious Yamamoto Daiki in her tiger paws. With a flap of her wings, a gust of wind rose from below, and she transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the floating island in the sky.
Seeing this, Qingqing rose on auspicious clouds and followed.
Seeing this, Zhuo Wu looked at the survivor and chuckled, "Kid, want to try the Somersault Cloud?"
"what?"
Before the survivor, Liu Zi, could react, Zhuo Wu grabbed his shoulder and somersaulted towards the floating island.
The scene before the survivor, Ruko, who was being held in his hand, receded wildly, and at the same time, the world spun around him, making him dizzy and disoriented.
At this moment, 5,000 kilometers ahead of the floating island, to the east of Tokyo and northeast of the floating island, a dignified monk with a radiant aura and hands clasped in prayer stood at the very front of the procession.
"Amitabha! Demons are gathering ahead. They have discovered us. Are you all ready?"
He is a being with the power of the Tathagata sequence, an enlightened being, and an ascetic before the end of the world.
"Master, should we charge straight in or wait for those things to come?" Chen Xi had a cigarette in his mouth and his hands were wrapped in bandages, but what drew the most attention was his leg.
He didn't have two legs, only one. The other leg wasn't broken off; rather, the two legs had fused together, becoming a larger single leg.
Clearly, this is his sequence cost.
“This humble monk is at your disposal, I will listen to what you benefactors say.” Monk Xingnan still clasped his hands together.
“Monk, you really are something else,” Li Rushan shook his head helplessly when he saw him like this, “You were the one who said you would subdue the demons first, and now you’re not saying anything.”
"Isn't this just stirring up trouble?"
“Victory breeds resentment, defeat breeds self-contempt. Let go of the desire to win or lose, and you will find peace in the absence of contention.” Monk Xingnan looked at him and chuckled, “Benefactor, you are attached to appearances.”
“This humble monk will listen carefully to the instructions of all benefactors. As long as the demon can be subdued, even if this humble monk perishes, it will be a great act of kindness.”
"Even Buddha has moments of fierce wrath."
Li Rushan: "."
"The way you're saying it makes it sound like we're fighting over who's in control."
"Alright, since you won't tell us, let's discuss it among ourselves."
"I really don't know what to say about you, Master." Chen Xi said, a cigarette dangling from his lips, somewhat speechless.
