Reborn! Mu Qingxue

Chapter 11: Reborn! Mu Qingxue

It was past one in the morning.

In the darkness, White Fox followed behind Gu Qijue uneasily.

As they went farther and farther, White Fox realized that she had been overthinking things.

She immediately stepped forward to Gu Qijue's side and asked, "Big Brother Black Dragon, where are we going? I think we should be devouring more right now."

"Devouring small fry won't improve us much. I know of a Monkey Zoo. There are at least twenty or thirty Variant-tier creatures inside, three Evil Spirit-tier ones, and one top-tier Evil Spirit-tier mutated monkey. Let's devour them first."

Gu Qijue ran incredibly fast, nearly eighty kilometers per hour.

Tonight, he had to grow stronger.

"Big Brother Black Dragon, that place has already become a large shelter," White Fox told him.

"What did you say?"

For a moment, Gu Qijue did not quite process her words.

As far as he knew, no one should have built a shelter at that Monkey Zoo.

What exactly was going on?

Gu Qijue quickly searched through the memories in his mind.

Yet he found no memory of this.

White Fox shook her head. "I don't know either. I just came from there. The shelter is like a fortress, covered by an electric grid overhead, with walls two hundred meters high. We couldn't get in at all."

"I don't have memories from before my rebirth. Could it be... someone else, like me... has been reborn too? And they must be someone with tremendous wealth."

Gu Qijue had no choice but to suspect that someone else had returned through rebirth just as he had.

He wanted to see what kind of shelter it was.

If possible, could he take it by force and claim it for himself?

In the apocalypse, no one talked to you about morality, order, or law.

Everything was decided by fists.

About ten minutes later.

Sure enough.

The place that had once been the zoo ahead of them—

had now become a fortress-like structure built for the apocalypse.

Those massive two-hundred-meter walls were likely impossible for even Sixth or Seventh Order Mutated Monsters to breach.

Moreover, wind turbines had been installed atop the walls, and a one-hundred-thousand-volt electric grid covered the entire place.

Building such a massive fortress spanning forty to fifty thousand square meters must have cost tens of billions.

"Humans really are incredible. This shelter is simply a masterpiece beyond mortal craft," White Fox said enviously as she stared at it.

Outside the shelter walls, thousands of Mutated Monsters surrounded the place, howling endlessly.

They tried to climb up, but once they reached ten meters high, the electrified iron plates on the walls shocked them until they were charred outside and tender within.

In the sky, mutated birds and insects tried to rush inside, but the electric grid stopped them, sending sparks flying everywhere.

"Who is it?"

Gu Qijue frowned slightly and took out his phone. After checking the time, he suddenly discovered that there was internet access—satellite internet.

This surprised him even more.

He remembered that in his previous life, the Empire had been completely paralyzed. Satellite internet had only been activated more than half a month later.

All these strange developments made Gu Qijue feel that something was deeply off.

Could it be that the owner of this shelter had informed the Empire about the coming Mutated Apocalypse in advance?

Only that could explain why satellite internet had been activated so quickly.

Rumble—

Just as Gu Qijue finished looking at his phone—

hundreds of fighter jets suddenly roared into Yun City from outside the city and activated thermal imaging radar scans.

Under thermal imaging radar, humans and monsters were easy to distinguish.

Boom—

The fighter jet formation avoided areas where survivors had gathered and began bombing.

Caw caw caw—

Awooo! Awooo! Awooo!—

However, the formation was soon attacked by flying Mutated Monsters.

Countless grotesque birds and insects blanketed the sky, charging at the fighters as though they had no fear of death.

Flames surged across the sky, and fighter jets soon began falling.

"This apocalypse has gained another reborn person. It seems things will be different from my previous life."

Gu Qijue shook his head as he watched the flames rising into the distant sky. Then he opened his phone, entered Hu Yin, and searched for Yun City Zoo Shelter.

Related videos immediately popped up.

The footage was from two months ago.

[Mu Qingxue, Chairman of Hengyu Group, spared no expense in investing tens of billions to purchase Yun City's largest Monkey Zoo, building a large shelter in just two months!]

"This woman is almost certainly a reborn person as well. She was reborn two months before me..."

After watching the videos, Gu Qijue became completely certain that she was a reborn person.

Furthermore, she had told the Empire that the Mutated Apocalypse was coming.

That explained why satellite internet had been activated so quickly.

"Big Brother Black Dragon, you have a human phone?"

White Fox watched Gu Qijue operate the human phone so skillfully and hesitated.

Gu Qijue did not answer her. He continued scrolling through videos.

Sure enough.

He found news footage released by the Empire.

[The Mutated Apocalypse has descended without warning, causing devastating human losses. If you are still alive, please hide yourselves as much as possible and wait for rescue from the Imperial Army!]

[During this Mutated Apocalypse, groups of Super Martial Artists have awakened among humanity. The Empire sincerely urges these Super Martial Artists to join the Imperial Army's rescue operations and save more sparks of humanity's future.]

[Mutual slaughter will only accelerate humanity's extinction. Humanity must unite as one to survive this catastrophic disaster of extinction!]

After watching the video, Gu Qijue searched for Yun City.

Sure enough.

There was also an Imperial video for Yun City.

[Hello, Super Martial Artists of Yun City. I am Lin Tiandou, the person in charge of the Yun City Military District. We had actually anticipated this apocalypse long ago. We simply refused to believe it, though we still made preparations!]

[Today, our Yun City Eastern Suburbs Military District has cleared out all Mutated Monsters and built an underground shelter capable of housing three million people.]

[We sincerely hope that all humans in Yun City can join our rescue operations and fight the Mutated Monsters to the very end!]

[We welcome all Super Martial Artists. We will not abandon a single survivor, nor will we spare those vile criminals who harm humanity during this apocalypse.]

Gu Qijue's face remained expressionless as he watched the video.

He was not afraid of Mu Qingxue, another reborn person. Even if she had returned through rebirth, it would not change her own potential.

If she had awakened a Super Martial Ability in her previous life, she would certainly awaken one in this life as well.

If she could not awaken one, then even after being reborn, she still would not be able to awaken one.

In his previous life, Gu Qijue had heard of Mu Qingxue.

She had awakened an Emperor-tier Super Martial Ability. She should have it after being reborn as well.

The only difference was that she had built a shelter.

Gu Qijue did not believe she could be as ruthless as him and devour other powerful beings.

Even if she had devoured them too, she could not possibly be stronger than him.

Because the Black Dragon of his previous life had been the absolute ceiling of combat power on this planet.

An invincible existence in a one-on-one fight.

"Big Brother Black Dragon, let's go! Let's devour and grow stronger. There's no way we can get into that shelter."

Seeing Gu Qijue's flickering gaze as though he were considering something, White Fox spoke softly.

Rumble—

Just as White Fox finished speaking, the shelter's heavy iron gates rumbled open. Then more than a hundred Super Martial Artists surged out from within...
