Premium Huangyang Wine

Su Man, dressed in a black gauze dress, also began strolling through the crowd, slapping people wherever she went.

Smack!

Smack!

Smack!

One slap for you, then one for you. Don't rush, everyone would get one!

After injecting the Gene Enhancement Fluid, Su Man's hands had become astonishingly strong too. A few slaps later, everyone she had hit came back to their senses...

In fact.

Su Man failed to control her strength on one slap and even knocked out an old man's tooth.

Her face flushed despite herself. She hurriedly pretended nothing had happened and continued slapping people.

Well...

It was an emergency.

The old man would understand.

Meanwhile.

Shen Sui had immediately realized they needed to stop the flow of resentment. Just as he was about to remind Lin Yu, he noticed Lin Yu was already doing it. More than half the affected civilians in the crowd had already been slapped back to their senses.

Admiration flickered in Shen Sui's eyes, and he nodded in approval.

Wonderful.

The team finally had another thinker.

Unlike the other four Transcendents...

None of them liked using their brains much.

At the same time, the Resentful Corpse in the air suddenly vanished...

In the blink of an eye.

It had somehow teleported behind Zhai Guang.

A pale hand reached toward the back of Zhai Guang's head.

Shen Sui reacted instantly, channeling his mental power as his icy voice rang out.

"Be still, here."

Instantly.

An immensely powerful surge of mental power restrained the Resentful Corpse.

It held its body in place, preventing it from moving.

Resentment seeped from the Resentful Corpse like water as it tried to break free.

But Shen Sui's mental power was so strong that no matter how it struggled, escape was nearly impossible!

Unwilling to yield and filled with hatred, the Resentful Corpse threw back its head and howled!

It wanted to absorb negative energy from the civilians to strengthen itself.

But!

It discovered...

It couldn't draw in a single trace of resentment.

Looking toward the civilians, it saw that Lin Yu's loving lessons had restored everyone to normal.

They were all still shaken, staring fearfully at the Resentful Corpse.

Whenever someone was about to be affected and lose their senses, Lin Yu delivered a backhanded slap.

And after being slapped, they even had to thank him gratefully.

Suddenly!

A blood-red Red Spider Lily had sprouted from underground at some point. Alluring, beautiful, and dangerous, it radiated a perilous power as it wrapped around the Resentful Corpse's body.

At that moment...

The resentment within the Resentful Corpse was drastically reduced once again!

It was as though all the resentment in its body was being absorbed. What had once been powerful grew weak and thin...!

"Take my punch!"

Boom!

Yellow Hair grinned, his fist crackling with terrifying golden lightning as he swung it straight at the Resentful Corpse's head!

Bzzzt!

Lightning snapped and crackled in the air.

It brimmed with terrifying destructive power!

Boom!

Cheng Yuening emerged from the darkness at the same time. No one knew when she had arrived. By the time they could see her clearly, her dagger had already pierced the Resentful Corpse's brain stem.

Squelch!

Zhai Guang, who had been ambushed by the Resentful Corpse, turned around while swinging another vicious fist blazing with blood-red light!

Several attacks!

All struck the Resentful Corpse at once!

The blood-red Mandala.

The golden lightning.

The dagger in the darkness.

The blood-red fist.

In an instant!

Countless energies collided, erupting in a dazzling burst of light and a thunderous sound that shook the heavens!

Boom!

The Resentful Corpse's head was blown apart!

With no vessel left to contain it, the resentment throughout its body began dissipating into the air.

The Resentful Corpse was dead!

Yellow Hair casually lowered his fist and said:

"Hah. Trash!"

Zhai Guang snorted coldly.

"Just hold it still for me, and I can smash it apart on my own!"

As he spoke.

Zhai Guang even shot Lin Yu a provocative look.

Lin Yu, however, smiled and applauded them sincerely, praising them:

"You're really strong!"

It was his first time seeing Shen Sui and the other four fight together.

He had to admit!

They really were fierce!

Crowd control, warriors, a mage, an assassin-they had everything!

An ordinary Sequence 9 could only go down in defeat against the five of them.

He had expected a major battle.

Instead, it had taken only a dozen or so seconds from start to finish.

Even though Lin Yu wasn't fond of Zhai Guang, he had to admit it.

This Zhai Guang... really did have some skills...

Just as Shen Sui had said earlier, he really could take on a hundred of me...

Tch...

Damn it...

When would I finally become a Transcendent...?

Shen Sui looked at Lin Yu, a hint of a smile in his eyes behind his lenses. "If you hadn't cut off the Resentful Corpse's source of resentment in time, we wouldn't have ended the fight so easily."

Anomalies like the Resentful Corpse had extremely powerful regenerative abilities.

As long as resentment remained, it could keep recovering.

Killing it in a single blow was hardly that easy.

By cutting off the resentment flowing from the civilians, Lin Yu had indeed been a great help.

Lin Yu smiled faintly and said nothing.

He had only stumbled upon the problem by chance.

Zhai Guang glanced at Lin Yu, wanting to make a sarcastic remark, but ultimately said nothing. He knew that was indeed the truth. Without Lin Yu, they couldn't have won so easily.

After the Resentful Corpse dissipated, it left behind a sheet of pale human skin.

Shen Sui's lenses flashed. He stepped forward, picked up the human skin, and examined it briefly. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly as he said, "We're in luck. The Resentful Corpse even left behind some human skin. I'll hold on to it for now, and we'll work out the distribution after the Instance ends."

Interest appeared in the other Transcendents' eyes, and they nodded.

Things left behind after an Anomaly died were usually called [transcendent substances].

[Transcendent substances] possessed transcendent properties and had a variety of uses.

They could be used to forge Transcendent Weapons, prepare potions, or even have their transcendent properties absorbed directly...

Their uses were numerous.

Which also made them extremely valuable!

There was another possibility: an Anomaly might leave behind a [forbidden object] upon death. Forbidden objects like Shen Xian's Wooden Comb could be used directly.

But from the look of things...

This human skin was not a forbidden object, but a transcendent substance.

Information flashed on the light screen.

[Successfully passed the second choice.]

[Random reward issued: one case of premium Huangyang Wine]

A case of Huangyang Wine immediately appeared on the empty ground below the light screen.

The alcohol content and package size were printed on the case.

56% ABV, 6 bottles, 500 ml each.

Shen Sui's eyes lit up!

It was actually liquor!

In the apocalypse, liquor was good stuff!

High-proof spirits in particular could be drunk or used as disinfectant. A few sips could warm you up in cold conditions, and in certain situations, they could even serve as fuel!

Practically all-purpose!

Shen Sui walked over to the Huangyang Wine with a slight smile and said calmly, "Looks like we're in luck. Six bottles of high-proof Huangyang Wine. Exactly one each."

Zhai Guang glanced at Lin Yu and said snidely:

"Someone who didn't contribute gets a share too?"

Before Shen Sui could say anything, Yellow Hair sauntered over.

"Zhai Guang, you're talking nonsense. Without Lin Yu's [Sixth Sense], would we have picked option A? Who knows how hard that Silver-Ringed Snake would've been to deal with!"

"Besides!"

"He even cut off the Resentful Corpse's source of resentment. You call that not contributing?"

Yellow Hair kept going, making a point of standing by his friend.

Ever since Lin Yu had treated him to rabbit, he had been speaking up for him.

Shen Sui also said calmly:

"That's right. Lin Yu earned this."

Lin Yu smiled faintly.

"Then I'll gladly take it."

Only an idiot would turn down valuable spirits.
