We Can Study This Further

"It seems Teacher Mo is very interested in this power. I won't hide it—this power is similar to the Evolvers in novels."

"Except here, they're called Professionals."

Jiang Yang raised his arm and punched the ground. With a bang, the floor cracked into over a dozen fissures.

This display of power stunned everyone present, except for Wu Lei and Li Shun, who remained calm.

"I want this power..."

A glint flashed in Chen Ke's eyes, as if he was brewing some scheme in his mind.

"Let me see your hand!"

Mo Li grabbed Jiang Yang's arm without hesitation, focusing intently as she examined it.

"Has your body undergone some kind of enhancement?"

"Current technology simply can't make human skin this tough."

"What exactly is this 'Professional' you mentioned?"

A look of fervor crossed Mo Li's face. She was barely twenty-five, yet she had already become a professor in Biopharmaceuticals at Linjiang University—and for good reason.

The main reason was that whenever it came to her field of expertise, her heart burned with passion.

Seeing Mo Li's fervent expression, Jiang Yang felt a flicker of anticipation.

He found it strange too. Before the transmigration, he wasn't much of a lecher, but after crossing over, why did he keep thinking about women at every turn?

Especially the women of the Son of the Plane!

It must be the influence of the villain's luck.

"Don't rush, Teacher. We can find a time to have an in-depth discussion."

Jiang Yang reached out and gave her hand a squeeze, earning a glare in return.

"In public, show some restraint."

"What's there to be afraid of, Teacher Mo? We can do some deep research tonight."

Chen Ke, standing nearby, was instantly furious. Watching Jiang Yang and Mo Li flirt, a thousand curses raced through his mind.

But he held back. He too coveted the power Jiang Yang spoke of, so he planned to lie low and bide his time.

Born into a business family, Chen Ke might have been a playboy, but he had a sharp instinct for opportunities.

After all, in the sea of commerce, seizing an opportunity meant a chance to soar.

Mo Li slapped Jiang Yang's hand away, her expression displeased. She wanted to know about the apocalypse, but she didn't want to deal with Jiang Yang.

Truth be told, Jiang Yang wasn't bad-looking, and their age gap wasn't large, but the things he had done in the past filled Mo Li with dread.

Jiang Yang knew that to get both Mo Li and Chen Ke hooked, he had to dangle some bait. So he began explaining some basic knowledge about the apocalypse.

Everyone in the police station listened intently to what Jiang Yang was saying. To them, it was utterly novel.

It was like opening the door to a new world.

Meanwhile, a massive wave surged in Chen Ke's heart. A global apocalypse?

You've got to be kidding!

Chen Ke might have been a Rich Second Generation who only knew how to chase women, but he wasn't stupid. He knew everything he had came from his family.

And the arrival of the apocalypse would undoubtedly reshuffle the deck.

If it was true, his advantages would vanish completely.

"How do you know all this?"

Chen Ke's breathing grew rapid. The apocalypse had only started two days ago—how could Jiang Yang know this information, even if it was just basic stuff?

But humanity had no real understanding of the apocalypse. Even if he had read novels or watched movies, you couldn't just apply fictional settings to reality.

"That's none of your business." Jiang Yang curled his lip and glanced at the weapons inside the police station, a gleam flashing in his eyes.

"So what kind of cooperation are you talking about?"

Chen Ke didn't press the issue. For now, he needed to gather as much information as possible.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yang was scheming about how to get Mo Li away and turn Chen Ke from Ye Fan's stepping stone into his own. After all, he was determined to have this woman!

Mo Li's existence was a blessing to Ye Fan's team in the original story and to all survivors in the later stages of the apocalypse.

Knowledge is power—that saying wasn't just for show.

As a leading researcher in Biopharmaceuticals, Mo Li remained at the forefront of scientific research even after the apocalypse, though that was only possible because Ye Fan provided the conditions for it.

In the later stages of the apocalypse, Mo Li spent some time studying the potions from the Apocalypse Store and developed a Basic Enhancement Fluid.

This fluid came in several grades and could simply enhance a person's physique.

Both ordinary people and Professionals could use it.

This boosted humanity's combat power several times over in the later apocalypse. It could be said that Mo Li's existence was crucial to the entire human civilization.

Such an outstanding woman—of course, she had to be added to his harem.

But he couldn't rush things now, not with Chen Ke watching like a hawk, and the police station still had guns.

With that thought, Jiang Yang calmed down and started discussing cooperation with Chen Ke.

In reality, this so-called cooperation was just hashing out how to split the spoils. Neither side brought up how to deal with the Money-Scattering Boy.

Both had their own agendas, but Jiang Yang didn't say a word, and Chen Ke didn't call him out.

After they finished, Jiang Yang turned to leave with a hint of reluctance.

"Heh heh, Bro Jiang, you're planning to bag Teacher Mo, huh."

Li Shun flashed a lecherous grin the moment they left the police station. Birds of a feather flock together—as Jiang Yang's lackey, how could he not know what was on his mind?

He just wanted to get in Mo Li's pants.

"Don't talk nonsense. That Chen Ke doesn't look like a good guy."

"Teacher Mo is too good for him—how could I let him have his way?"

Jiang Yang put on a righteous face. A fine horse deserves a fine saddle, a beauty deserves a hero. What was a scumbag like Chen Ke compared to him?

"Bro, what were you guys doing?"

Back in the clothing store, Ye Qingwei and the others were getting anxious. Jiang Yang's group had been gone way too long.

"Went to... discuss a partnership. The other side's a bit sharp."

Jiang Yang gave a sly smile, reached out to take Ye Qingwei's hand, then looked at the rest.

"Everyone, get ready. We'll lie low here for now."

"Lie low?"

At that, everyone was confused. Weren't they supposed to hunt the Money-Scattering Boy?

Jiang Yang waved a hand. "What's the rush? When the Money-Scattering Boy shows up, a ton of zombies will appear, and some of them are first-tier variants."

"We can let those guys take the first wave, then make our move once the Money-Scattering Boy comes out."

Jiang Yang had no idea what actually happened when the Money-Scattering Boy appeared, but according to the original story, a horde of zombies would spawn first.

Plus, that thing had brains—it knew to run to places with fewer people. And its appearance had a time limit; after a certain point, it would vanish on its own.

In the park, Ye Fan crept over quietly. He only knew the Money-Scattering Boy was a monster.

He'd never seen one with his own eyes. In his past life, he didn't learn about it until two or three years later.

At this same time in that life, he was holed up in his dorm, waiting for Rescue.

Now, in the center of the park, countless beams of light wove together into a mysterious pattern.
