8. The Empress's strength breaks through.
"The apocalypse has only been underway for two days, and I've already broken through to the first rank, my strength several times greater than before! Demon, this time I'll see how you struggle!"
Bai Ningbing opened her eyes in an empty apartment. Her increased strength restored all her lost confidence.
Many people believe that the apocalypse is just a terrible disaster, the most desperate calamity that could wipe out humanity.
But that's not entirely true.
Because along with the apocalypse came a special energy, similar to the spiritual energy in the world of cultivation.
People with special constitutions can absorb this special energy into their bodies through meditation, thereby enabling them to evolve.
Each evolutionary stage creates a class, which, through continuous refinement by human survivors in the post-apocalyptic new era, has gradually formed a system.
This system consists of nine levels, from level one to level nine. Level one is the lowest, and level nine is the highest. Reaching this level can be considered an Emperor-level powerhouse.
In her previous life, as an empress, her strength level reached the ninth rank, and she was at the peak of the ninth rank.
Such a level already possesses the power to destroy a city.
Although she no longer possessed such terrifying strength after being reborn, she still retained her cultivation experience from her previous life. This time, her cultivation was twice as effective with half the effort, and she achieved a breakthrough on the second day of the apocalypse.
Such a rate of advancement was unprecedented in the previous life.
The demon is very powerful; he successfully destroyed the world in his previous life.
However, in terms of cultivation speed alone, she could never compare to her in this life!
Yesterday, she was just an ordinary person, and she almost killed the demon, but things went wrong because it took too long.
Now that his strength has broken through and reached the first-tier level of the new era, this kind of accident will definitely not happen again.
Bai Ningbing slowly clenched her fist. She didn't intend to waste any more time. Even if the Demon Queen lived for another second, it would be a sin for this world.
Such a scoundrel should be utterly crushed to dust!
and,
A long night can bring many unforeseen events!
Bai Ningbing quickly got up, the wound on her back throbbing with excruciating pain, but she didn't even flinch.
She removed her blood-stained clothes, revealing her fair and graceful figure, but no one had the chance to appreciate it.
Taking out a first-aid kit, Bai Ningbing looked in the mirror and treated the wound on her back by herself.
First, disinfect with alcohol, then pour on Yunnan Baiyao (a traditional Chinese medicine), and then wrap it with medical sandbags in circles.
Each of them slashed once, and treated their wounds separately, using the same methods and medications. It has to be said that this was a kind of fate.
After skillfully treating the wound, Bai Ningbing took out the new clothes that had been prepared in advance and put them on expressionlessly.
Reaching the first level of strength not only enhances one's own power, but also improves the body's recovery ability. As long as the wound is not infected, it will heal on its own in a short time.
This time, she wore sportswear that was more suitable for combat: a white sports T-shirt paired with black trousers and a pair of white sneakers.
After putting on her clothes and shoes, she picked up a rubber band and casually tied her long hair into a high ponytail.
Her sportswear paired with a high ponytail made her look neat and tidy. Compared to yesterday's JK uniform, she lost her girlish fragility and gained a more capable air.
After tidying herself up, Bai Ningbing left the apartment where she was staying.
She wasn't carrying any weapons, because she no longer needed them.
"roar!!"
As soon as I stepped out of the apartment building, several zombies that were wandering nearby roared and charged at me.
Bai Ningbing remained indifferent. Facing the charging zombies, she simply raised her fair, jade-like finger and gently tapped them.
The surrounding temperature plummeted, and several icicles radiating cold air condensed in front of her.
With a light tap of the finger, it flew out with a whoosh.
With a few crisp sounds, a sharp ice spike, carrying a chilling aura, pierced deeply into the zombie's forehead.
The roar abruptly stopped, and several zombies that had charged forward collapsed in a daze, their bodies instantly radiating a chilling aura.
With a wave of her hand, she instantly killed several zombies; this was the superpower she awakened after breaking through to the first level.
last life,
It was this extraordinary ability that earned her the title of Empress of the Ice and Snow, striking fear into the hearts of countless powerful enemies.
Although he has just awakened and his strength is not as great as in his previous life, he has already shown his talent.
Her confidence at this moment stemmed not only from the improvement in her physical attributes, but also from the awakening of her extraordinary ability.
"Demon, everything is about to end. This is a new era, but there will be no trace of you left."
Bai Ningbing glanced indifferently at the fallen zombies, as if these zombies were some great demon she was determined to annihilate.
Taking a deep breath, Bai Ningbing didn't linger and turned to leave.
Old neighborhood.
This is the area where Lin Fan used to live, and it was here that yesterday's back-and-forth chase took place.
Bai Ningbing returned to search this area.
She understood the demon's personality; if he had the upper hand in the battle, he certainly wouldn't run away or hide.
There's a saying that's true: the person who understands you best isn't yourself, but the enemy you're always thinking about.
At this moment, a certain demon was preoccupied with the one that Bai Ningbing was thinking about.
In this situation, there is naturally no possibility of error.
That's indeed the case; Lin Fan really had no intention of leaving.
Not only will he not leave, he will stay here and wait for some crazy woman to come looking for him again.
Because his strength at this moment was already terrifying.
Bai Ningbing returned to the old neighborhood and quickly found the traces she was looking for.
This is a zombie corpse with an extremely clean wound on its neck, indicating that it has been neatly and cleanly decapitated.
Without breaking the bones, a clean and swift decapitation—Bai Ningbing had witnessed such a method firsthand yesterday.
That's why she recognized at a glance that it was someone else's doing.
"The wound is still very fresh, less than an hour ago. You devil, you are still as confident as ever."
Bai Ningbing crouched down and quickly examined the zombie's wounds, thus obtaining the information she wanted.
She didn't say much, but her eyes grew even colder.
This time, she will definitely not fail again. No matter how strange the demon is, she is confident that she can suppress it.
Following these clues, she slowly ventured deeper into the old neighborhood.
Finally, she arrived at the entrance of a convenience store, and the scene that came into view made her pause slightly.
This is another zombie corpse.
However, this time the zombie corpses were different. Not only were they all dead beyond any doubt, but their bodies were also completely torn apart, as if a naughty child was chopping up a watermelon with a kitchen knife.
But these weren't the most important things. The most important thing was that she sensed a sharp, piercing aura emanating from these fragmented corpses.
Even the slightest sensation caused her skin to ache faintly.
This discovery caused her eyes to darken slightly.
However, thinking about her current strength and the super-powerful ability that had been reawakened, she calmed down.
Regardless of whether this demon has acquired new methods, he can't possibly improve as quickly as she, the reborn empress.
She walked past the mangled zombie corpses into the convenience store.
Lin Fan was nowhere to be seen, but the several corpses that had fallen to the ground were still lying quietly on the floor.
The blood had slightly congealed, but it still retained some warmth.
On the cashier's counter, there was an open and used first-aid kit with some blood-stained gauze on it.
Bai Ning glanced at it coldly, then turned and strode away.
She was injured, but the demon was also injured; this battle was still fair and just between them.
Continuing to follow the trail wasn't difficult for her, since every so often, one or more zombie corpses would appear.
She followed the trail all the way to the old neighborhood's vegetable market, and even though they were still some distance away, she heard the roars of zombies.
The surrounding zombies were also being drawn to the area in droves.
However, the zombies that were attracted only let out a few roars and then fell silent.
The vegetable market in the old neighborhood is like a ferocious beast that devours everything.
Before long, the entire market quieted down.
Bai Ningbing stood quietly, knowing that the person she was looking for would soon appear on their own.
As expected, a figure wielding a blood-dripping cleaver walked out of the market. He didn't exude the expected fierce aura; he was just like a citizen buying vegetables at the market, ignoring the blood-dripping cleaver in his hand.
This figure was Lin Fan. The vegetable market was crowded, and naturally, it had the most zombies after the apocalypse.
After a sweeping attack, his level increased again, and all his attributes increased by 100 points!
Although no powerful skill book dropped again, adding a terrifying attribute bonus is no worse than a so-called skill book.
Because of this, Lin Fan was in a very good mood, humming a little tune as he walked with his machete in hand.
He was somewhat surprised, but not unexpected, when he saw Bai Ningbing.
"You're here so fast?"
He knew they would come, but he didn't expect them to come so quickly, returning only one night later.
However, this is also good, as it allows the skill "Blade Qi Across the Land" to be upgraded and made even more powerful. It's a good opportunity to test the waters when the opponent comes.
If my guess is correct, the other party is an empress who has been reborn.
"Shouldn't someone like that be able to hold his own for a bit?"
Lin Fan smiled, his gentle smile like that of a friendly older brother next door.
But Bai Ningbing's expression became even colder, and a chilling aura began to emanate from her body.
She showed absolutely no mercy to the demon before her!
The two sides stood facing each other, and then, without any warning, they started fighting.
Bai Ningbing raised her hand again, and ice spikes appeared in the void, each radiating a bone-chilling cold.
Then, like a hailstorm, it sped towards Lin Fan.
A single ice spike can easily pierce through a zombie's head; if these densely packed ice spikes flew over, they would turn the zombies into a honeycomb.
"You fiend, prepare to die!"
It was the familiar opening line again, followed by a thunderous and earth-shattering scene.
