Jiang Yang's imagination ran wild, and his wandering hand began to move on its own.

Ye Qingwei shot Jiang Yang a blushing glare. "Stop it, bro. I can't seriously observe Sister Xiao Wan's battle like this."

She had already made up her mind yesterday that she absolutely could not cause her brother any more trouble in the future! She had to become his support!

Qiu Chan carried her Tang Saber on her back. Watching Jiang Yang and Ye Qingwei flirt, she felt inexplicably irritated.

Li Shun and Zhang Yao were preparing for battle, while Wu Lei was playing with a shield.

"How's the weapon?"

Jiang Yang looked over. He had no use for the Vibranium Round Shield, but it was perfect for Wu Lei. After all, this guy was meant to be a big meat shield.

"It's great. Thanks, boss!"

Wu Lei could not put down the shield Jiang Yang had given him. It had no paint on it at all and looked as though it had never left the factory.

But upon closer inspection, one would find that its surface had no patterns whatsoever.

Any object made of metal would have subtle marks on its surface, traces left behind during smelting. Yet this metal round shield did not have the slightest trace.

It looked as though it had been formed by nature itself. Wu Lei could not think of any Craft Shop or factory with such exquisite workmanship, but since Jiang Yang had taken it out, he had no further doubts.

If the boss gave it to him, he would accept it. As for repayment, he would prove himself through his actions in the future!

Still, why did this shield look a little like Captain America's shield?

Wu Lei scratched his head and gripped the shield tightly.

Xiao Wan had already blown the Zombie's head apart. It was his turn now!

Wu Lei's battle was extremely violent next.

With the Vibranium Round Shield, Wu Lei did not even take out his fire axe. He charged in and sent the Zombie flying seven or eight meters, then rushed up and repeatedly smashed it with the shield until it was reduced to pulp.

He had truly begun to look like a big meat shield.

After that came Li Shun and Zhang Yao. Their battles were similar to Ye Qingwei's, though Zhang Yao performed rather poorly.

Jiang Yang had originally only intended to recruit Li Shun.

Li Shun's loyalty was as high as seventy-nine, while Zhang Yao's was only forty-three.

However, Jiang Yang knew Li Shun's personality. Since Li Shun was his little brother, letting Zhang Yao join for his sake was no big deal. They were short on manpower anyway.

Seeing that everyone had picked up a few skills, and that nothing would go wrong with Qiu Chan around, Jiang Yang had them continue clearing Zombies on the lower floors to hone themselves.

Meanwhile, he carried Ye Qingwei upstairs, preparing to thoroughly study how her ability restored stamina.

After all, Ye Qingwei was ultimately a healer. She could not be too weak, but neither did she need to charge into battle.

Yet the future Ye Qingwei would far exceed Jiang Yang's expectations.

In the later stages of the Apocalypse, although Ye Qingwei was a healer, she could continuously stack buffs on herself.

At her peak, her physical body was even stronger than a warrior's. Survivors of the Apocalypse called her the Melee Queen. Her ability to split a river with one punch was no joke.

While Jiang Yang was "thoroughly studying" Ye Qingwei—

At a small inn not far from Linjiang University.

The chaos caused by the arrival of the Apocalypse had yet to end.

Zombies could be seen wandering aimlessly everywhere on the streets. There was no sign of pedestrians anymore, only the occasional unattended vehicle blaring its alarm.

Inside the small inn, Ye Fan had killed the Zombies on his floor.

The inn was small, and Ye Fan's floor only had five or six rooms. Though there were few rooms, the inn's revenue had always been high.

Some students from Linjiang University would often bring female companions here to rent rooms by the hour, finding a place for a few minutes of fun.

Once, these small inns had been places Ye Fan longed for. Countless times, he had imagined coming here with Tang Ya.

But thinking about it now made him feel sick.

Originally, Ye Fan had planned to wait here for a night, wait for the chaos following the Apocalypse's arrival to pass, and then enter Linjiang University to seek his opportunity.

But now he could not wait. His memories had deviated, and within that deviation, he discovered that Jiang Yang played an important role.

After resting briefly, Ye Fan put on several thick layers of clothing, picked up a fire axe, and headed out.

The small inn was not far from Linjiang University. Ye Fan quickly reached its main entrance. After dealing with several Zombies at the gate, he sped toward Taiji Lake.

"Look, another one came!"

"This guy is pretty strong too. He took care of those Zombies in just a few moves."

"This one won't do. He's far worse than the last one."

Survivors in the teaching building saw Ye Fan, but no one shouted. They merely found conspicuous objects and waved them outside the windows.

During this period after the Apocalypse began, they had also learned a few things. Shouting would not bring rescue. It would only attract Zombies!

Naturally, Ye Fan saw their pleas for help, but he paid them no attention and continued running toward Taiji Lake.

Saving these people was meaningless. Nothing was more important than obtaining an opportunity.

Moreover, Ye Fan had a bad feeling. Ever since awakening his memories, he had encountered a string of misfortunes, and even the rumored saber had been bought by someone.

According to the rumors, no one had bought that saber. It should still have been here.

Was the Butterfly Effect really this powerful?

If he could not obtain these opportunities, then he would merely be a survivor with seven years of Apocalypse combat experience.

In the later stages of the Apocalypse, every survivor who remained alive possessed profound combat experience. What they competed over were the opportunities obtained in the early stages.

As Ye Fan ran all the way toward Taiji Lake, he suddenly noticed something strange. Why were there so many dead Zombies around here?

And these Zombies had basically all been cut down with one slash. What was going on?

The Apocalypse had only just begun. Could someone have already become a Professional?

Ye Fan began recalling. The person who obtained Taiji Lake's opportunity was supposed to arrive here a week later.

Missing out on the treasured saber had already made Ye Fan extremely frustrated. If this opportunity was taken too, then what the hell was the point of his rebirth? He had been reborn for nothing!

Ye Fan gritted his teeth and sprinted forward, reaching Taiji Lake in a rush. When he saw the corpse and blood at the entrance, his eyes instantly turned red.

Ye Fan raced to the golden Secret Realm Gate and stepped inside without a second thought.

A moment later, Ye Fan was directly teleported back out.

He stood there blankly, his eyes vacant.

"Where's my opportunity?"

"Where the hell is my opportunity!"

"Fuck! Even after being reborn, I'm still getting screwed over?"

Ye Fan slammed his fist into the ground. There was nothing behind the Secret Realm Gate. The opportunity had vanished!

At that moment, his thoughts were no longer clear. He had been reborn, yet it was as though he had not truly been reborn.

All he had gained were those seven years of combat experience.

"No, I can't walk the same old path again!"

Ye Fan steadied his emotions. The opportunity here being gone did not mean the opportunities elsewhere were gone too.

However, he needed to become a Professional immediately.

Ye Fan had planned to obtain the Inherited Profession here, but now that someone had taken the profession, he needed to become a Professional sooner. Only then would he have the strength to dominate one region.

At that thought, Ye Fan looked at the Zombies he had encountered along the way. Some valuable parts on their bodies had not been completely collected, and some Zombies had not been touched at all.

"Was it the person who obtained the Dragon Totem?"

Ye Fan looked at the dead Zombies, his eyes burning with envy. Whoever it was had killed so many Zombies right after obtaining the Dragon Totem. What a pity Ye Fan had lost that opportunity.

But it did not matter. He still had a chance!

There were countless undiscovered opportunities in the Apocalypse. He still had a chance to rise.

Jiang Yang, who was busy playing cards with Ye Qingwei in a high-end hotel, naturally had no idea that Ye Fan was picking through what he had left behind.

He had come in a hurry. There was no way he could search every Zombie he had killed at Linjiang University.

At that moment, Jiang Yang lit a cigarette and entered sage mode.

In sage mode, Jiang Yang would not be tempted by beauty. At last, he could calmly consider how to proceed from here.

He had not finished stealing Ye Fan's opportunities. There were still many left.

So what was Ye Fan doing now?

A wicked smile appeared on Jiang Yang's face. He could already imagine Ye Fan discovering that all his opportunities had been taken away.

But Ye Fan was, after all, a Son of the Plane. With that halo, even if he did nothing, the plane might still send him a pile of treasures. Jiang Yang had to be prepared to seize them.

Because of his interference, the plot here was certainly different from the original work. However, the opportunities were still in the same places.

"Bro, what are you thinking about?"

Ye Qingwei curled up in Jiang Yang's arms, her face flushed. For some reason, she felt as though she had perhaps, maybe... forgotten something?
