Along the vast mountain forest, Su Ruolan led her team forward. Whenever they reached a village or service area, Su Ruolan would always pull out some food from her space to replenish their supplies. The unaware team members often marveled at her luck. No matter how much food there was, Su Ruolan could always find a way to make it work. However, there was one thing she was utterly helpless against: gasoline. They had been away from the base for three days, and the remaining fuel in the car could only take them 100 kilometers. Finding gasoline had become an urgent priority.
As they scanned the surroundings, a service area with a knife and fork sign appeared ahead, still 50 kilometers from their destination. Everyone felt invigorated and quickly drove into the gas station. There were more than ten cars parked in the service area, most of them with battered exteriors covered in rust; some had missing doors or broken windows. Some vehicles still bore remnants of human bones, hollow eye sockets, and exposed teeth, all telling tales of despair. Only the cars parked inside the gas station remained untouched by wind and rain, merely covered in a thick layer of dust.
Su Ruolan and her team got out to check the fuel pumps for any remaining gasoline. Suddenly, a group of zombies burst out from the supermarket in the service area. From their tattered clothing, it was evident that they had once been employees of an oil company. Li Yuxuan and the others were startled and immediately opened fire. Some zombies fell to the ground with gunshot wounds to their heads, while others had their legs shattered. Suddenly, one zombie charged forward swiftly, grabbing Cheng Xi's rifle and biting into it ferociously, chewing off half of it in just a few bites. Cheng Xi was taken aback and quickly activated her ability; she watched as the remaining half of the rifle instantly elongated and pierced through the zombie's brain, revealing a red core inside. This was the first colored core Su Ruolan had discovered since finding the White Crystal Core.
Su Ruolan unleashed an ability called "Frozen for Miles," causing several rapidly moving zombies to have their feet frozen in place. The ice spread from their feet up to their waists, shoulders, and heads. The zombies continued moving quickly despite being frozen, resulting in a bizarre scene where one zombie's feet remained planted while its legs moved forward slightly, its body leaning even further ahead, and its head jutting out beyond its body. In an instant, they were all frozen solid and fell to the ground, shattering into icy fragments that revealed red cores within their broken skulls.
Monet's wind blades had become even more refined than before; like a scythe unleashed after being unsealed, they effortlessly reaped through the horde.
Everyone fought valiantly against the zombies until they had cleared the area completely. Cheng Xi collected all the red cores and handed them to Su Ruolan. She examined one closely in her hand and found its energy to be denser than that of the White Crystal Core; it felt like an upgraded version. Unsure of any potential dangers it might pose, she decided to handle it safely at a secure location later on. They drained all the gasoline from the abandoned cars and finally managed to fill up three vehicles completely while also setting aside a bottle each, totaling between 400 to 600 liters.
Just as they were about to store the spare fuel in the trunk, several more cars drove into the service area. A woman with long curly hair stepped out; she wore a cute top that accentuated her ample figure and a short skirt that revealed her not-so-slim thighs, paired with high-heeled boots as she shouted loudly, "Stop! Put down that fuel!"
Su Ruolan's group remained on guard while continuing their actions without pause.
Seeing that Su Ruolan's group ignored her, the woman’s brows furrowed in anger, ruining her previously charming appearance. With a wave of her hand, a whip flew through the air towards Su Ruolan’s head. "What’s this? Didn’t you hear what I said?"
From another vehicle emerged several burly men sporting punk hairstyles who laughed at the sight of Exposed Woman wielding her whip. One man remarked, "Looks like we have some prey here. This lady probably saw someone prettier than herself and is throwing a tantrum."
Li Yuxuan and her companions rarely encountered such scantily clad women; they turned red-faced and looked away. Kong Xiang couldn't see but seemed allergic to Exposed Woman's scent as he rubbed his nose incessantly and sneezed. Su Ruolan swiftly dodged to the side to evade the whip's fierce attack and conjured an Ice Sword to slash at it.
With a clang, the Ice Sword surprisingly shattered against it; that whip was made of blackened black gold—a formidable weapon.
"With just you? You think you can break my Black Gold Whip? Dream on," Exposed Woman scoffed arrogantly. Turning her gaze around suddenly landed on Li Yuxuan and Kong Xiang. "Oh? There are two fresh faces here too. Do you want to follow me? There’s food!"
Hearing this, a punk boy anxiously said, "Milu, you already have us, what do you need them for?" The others who had been silent also looked displeased, one of them sneering slightly.
"I decide what to do; you have no place to interrupt," Milu snapped back.
"You two, come here. Once I take down that ugly girl, you'll see how powerful I am," Milu called out to Li Yuxuan and the others.
"Love-struck fool, who wants to follow you?" Kong Xiang scoffed.
Su Ruolan couldn't help but laugh in anger; they had encountered all sorts of oddities on this journey. Coldly ignoring her, she said, "Let's get in the car."
Li Yuxuan and the others began to prepare to board.
"Fight! Teach them a lesson!" Milu immediately turned serious and commanded the other punk boys.
Three of the punks stepped forward, unleashing their abilities. Suddenly, the air was filled with chaos as fireballs and earth balls were launched. Although it looked impressive, their abilities were not very high in level.
Li Yuxuan's eyes lit up; finally, they had a chance to practice.
"Go ahead, but don't go too hard on them," Su Ruolan said gently. Ever since Li Yuxuan and the others evolved their abilities, they hadn't had a proper real-world battle; this was truly a perfect opportunity.
Seeing that Su Ruolan and the others were not panicking at all, the love-struck girl became furious. She raised her Black Gold Whip and swung it toward Su Ruolan. In response, Su Ruolan activated her Wood Elemental Ability, transforming a branch into a Wood Vine to wrap around the whip and seize it. Unexpectedly, the Black Gold Whip suddenly multiplied from one into countless whips, forming a dense array that struck toward Su Ruolan from all directions.
Su Ruolan was taken aback and immediately shouted, "Monet, combine!"
The Wolfhead Battle Boots instantly equipped themselves on her feet. Su Ruolan dodged out of the encirclement just before the whips could close in; where she had just stood was now a large pit created by the strikes—every bit of force was real.
Su Ruolan braced herself; this love-struck girl indeed had some genuine skills.
"Hey, you actually escaped. Take another whip from me." Milu said, a hint of surprise in her voice as she swung the whip again. This time, the energy expenditure was considerable; her face flushed red, and beads of sweat formed on her forehead, her ample chest rising and falling rapidly.
The Black Gold Whip thickened and hardened slightly as it shot toward Su Ruolan, slicing through the air at high speed and sparking with friction.
Su Ruolan quickly activated her battle boots, dodging to the side of the Black Gold Whip's trajectory. She seized the whip's tail with force and channeled Tai Chi, executing a push that sent the Black Gold Whip spinning in a cross pattern to strike Milu, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood.
"I'm going all out against you!" Milu's eyes turned crimson as she bit her tongue, spitting a mouthful of essence blood onto the Black Gold Whip.
The blood-soaked Black Gold Whip seemed to gain sentience from the sacrifice; it became even more flexible and fierce, coiling around Su Ruolan like a snake, binding her tightly. The whip embedded itself into her flesh, leaving deep red-purple marks and blood trails.
Su Ruolan tried to break free but found herself unable to escape; the more she struggled, the tighter it became.
"You ugly girl, this is what happens when you oppose me," Milu said triumphantly as she approached, ready to slap Su Ruolan's face. However, upon seeing the dark, stubborn eyes staring back at her, she hesitated and lowered her hand.
Feeling an inexplicable fear within herself was humiliating for Milu. Angrily turning away, she shouted, "Stop right now! Do you want her to die immediately?"
Li Yuxuan and the others looked on; although they had beaten up the punk boy badly, they were shocked to see Su Ruolan captured and had no choice but to reluctantly cease their actions.
"Now that's more like it. Put down your weapons and come with me. Otherwise, I'll make an example of this woman," Milu said, satisfied with Li Yuxuan and the others' compliance.
