Moonlight Spiritual Energy

Among the many Wandering Souls sacrificed, the Qi Refining Stage zombie dog Wandering Soul was also included.

However, zombie dogs are not human to begin with. Even if they advanced to the Qi Refining Stage, their soul strength was only slightly stronger than that of ordinary zombies. They didn't have much utility, so Lu Yan casually refined the zombie dog along with the other zombies.

Thanks to the presence of the zombie dog's soul, the eighth Vengeful Soul had a dog-like face and its aura was slightly stronger than the other Vengeful Souls.

After clearing Building 13, the sky gradually darkened.

Once the sun set, the zombies that had been hiding from the sunlight during the day would inevitably emerge from the buildings. Lu Yan had no intention of taking action during the night when zombies were active.

There seemed to be no survivors in Building 13. Some locked rooms, although covered in dust, were still relatively tidy.

Lu Yan found one of them and temporarily settled down.

He casually tore open a low-grade Dust Removal Talisman. Gusts of wind blew, sweeping up large amounts of dust and smoke, quickly clearing the entire room.

After doing this, Lu Yan took out the supplies he had prepared in advance from his Storage Bag.

Before the progress bar for the version update was full, Lu Yan didn't actually know about the three version options, so the supplies he chose weren't very targeted. He just took some easy-to-carry food and water.

After entering the first layer of Qi Refining, Lu Yan's need for food was greatly reduced, but he hadn't completely reached the Bigu Stage.

Without these supplies, surviving in this Apocalypse Version would have been extremely difficult.

Searching for food and water resources in a city that had been abandoned for who knows how many years and was full of zombies was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But Lu Yan brought these supplies, completely changing the style of this apocalypse survival.

On the dining table in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the opened self-heating hot pot was bubbling with steam, and a can of luncheon meat that had just been opened was placed next to it.

Lu Yan handed the cola in his hand to a Vengeful Soul. The Vengeful Soul's eerie ghostly aura spread and flowed over the cola, and a layer of frost immediately formed.

Taking a big gulp of ice-cold cola, the abandoned city under the setting sun presented a scene of apocalyptic twilight. Meanwhile, Lu Yan enjoyed the self-heating hot pot and luncheon meat, starting to feast.

In the Urban Version, this would definitely not be considered an outstanding dinner, but in these apocalyptic ruins, it was absolutely precious resources, enough to attract those Transcendent Survivors to fight and compete with each other.

After dinner, the sun had completely set. Lu Yan sat cross-legged by the window and began his first cultivation session since entering the Apocalypse Version.

The spiritual energy concentration in the Apocalypse Version was ten times higher than in the Urban Version. As the Red Lotus Karma Fire Sutra circulated through his body, Lu Yan easily absorbed spiritual energy from the air and refined strands of spiritual energy into Mana.

Under this spiritual energy concentration, even without the assistance of Spirit Stones, Lu Yan could easily complete his cultivation.

Time slowly passed. As his cultivation technique circulated, Lu Yan entered a state of forgetting himself and his surroundings. The Mana in his body was growing at a visible speed.

After a long time, a cold spiritual energy was absorbed into his body. It actually ignored the circulating cultivation technique and merged into Lu Yan's spiritual platform.

In an instant, his spiritual platform became clear, and even his soul seemed to have been nourished.

Lu Yan immediately woke up and looked outside. He saw a full moon rising from the west, casting its bright moonlight onto the earth.

Lu Yan could clearly sense that within the moonlight of this full moon, there was spiritual energy with a cold nature, completely opposite to the sunlight during the day.

These strands of spiritual energy hidden within the moonlight, just one strand, could nourish the soul and warm the spiritual platform.

"There is such peculiar spiritual energy in the moonlight. Does the sunlight during the day also contain some special spiritual energy?"

Lu Yan was greatly surprised.

The Apocalypse Version had brought him too many surprises. First, there was the prospect of his Soul Banner advancing, and then there were the characteristics hidden behind this Moonlight Spiritual Energy.

For others, the Apocalypse Version is a place of despair filled with danger, but for Lu Yan, the apocalypse can be said to be full of opportunities.

Just as Lu Yan was deep in thought, a loud roar suddenly came from outside.

"Awoo!!!"

The sound came from the center of the city, its momentum seemingly capable of piercing the clouds. Even from over ten kilometers away, Lu Yan could clearly sense the deterrence it contained.

Lu Yan's expression changed drastically, and he immediately looked towards the center of the city.

From all directions, roars of zombies rose one after another, as if responding to the sound from the city center.

The next moment, Lu Yan witnessed an unprecedented spectacular sight.

In the city that had been dead silent during the day, zombies emerged from the shadows, walked onto the streets illuminated by the moonlight, and quickly occupied the original streets.

Buildings, ruins, shopping malls, stadiums... everywhere was densely packed with zombies like a tide. They looked up at the bright full moon above their heads and roared. The moonlight seemed to be pulled, and a large amount of moonlight spiritual energy sprinkled onto the zombies.

The denser the zombie crowd, the more moonlight spiritual energy they attracted.

Lu Yan had been wondering before why those ordinary zombies, whose bodies were almost completely rotten, could still maintain the existence of their Human Soul Seven Spirits.

Especially the zombies in the lower floors, their bodies were much more intact than those trapped on the upper floors.

This scene now gave Lu Yan the answer.

It was these special moonlight spiritual energy at night that nourished their souls and maintained the missing souls of the zombies.

The zombies on the lower floors could leave the buildings and face the moonlight directly, receiving a greater degree of moonlight spiritual energy nourishment, so their bodies and souls were naturally more complete.

Beyond these ordinary zombies, strange-looking Transcendent Zombies also appeared in Lu Yan's sight.

Some stood on tall buildings bathing in the moonlight, some occupied an open space that other zombies dared not approach, and some had a large number of zombies actively pile up into a mountain of corpses, with a huge Transcendent Zombie sitting on top.

This city, which had been abandoned for who knows how many years, revealed its true apocalyptic horror at night.

Lu Yan watched the Transcendent Zombies appearing under the moonlight. They seemed to occupy fixed areas, and each one's aura was far stronger than a Warrior, at least in the late Qi Refining Stage.

The closer to the city center, the denser the zombie horde became, and the stronger the Transcendent Zombies were.

And the roar from the city center came from at least a Zombie King in the late Foundation Establishment Stage, an existence that Lu Yan could not possibly contend with at this stage.

At this moment, Lu Yan suddenly felt a little fortunate. Since the room he was staying in had been abandoned for a long time and had no lighting equipment, the room was completely dark and not conspicuous.

If he had lit a fire without knowing the situation at night, it would have inevitably attracted a large number of Transcendent Zombies. Even with the protection of the Soul Banner, it would have been difficult to escape.

Looking around at the surroundings, Lu Yan firmly remembered the areas where these powerful Transcendent Zombies were located, to prevent accidentally encountering them while hunting zombies during the day.

While Lu Yan was observing, he suddenly realized something.

"Since the areas where other zombies gather have powerful Transcendent Zombies similar to leaders, then this residential area I'm in should also have powerful Transcendent Zombies.

I've cleared two buildings and eliminated hundreds of zombies. Has this already attracted its attention?"
