The Last Rock Emperor - Chapter 53

Chapter 53 Road Killers
8:00 a.m. sharp, May 17, 2030.

Yifan looked at the team standing in front of him. After experiencing a brutal battle, this team had trained desperately for six days.

Ever since they started following Yifan, they hadn’t stopped practicing their basic martial arts. After a full 10 days, the results were still remarkable.

The people who had followed Yifan since the first day of the apocalypse began to have some aura of their own. Most of them were already at the peak of the First Order. It could be said that they had all been reborn, and they were no longer purely weak students before the apocalypse.

The deputy captain level was already Second Grade, or even peak Second Grade, while the captain level had all reached Third Grade without exception. At this stage, Third Grade was already the highest level that would not be able to advance in a short period of time.

The evolutionary path of an evolutionary being was from Third Grade to Fourth Grade, and from Sixth Grade to Seventh Grade. After an evolutionary being reached Third Grade, the amount of dark energy required to evolve would increase exponentially. After Third Grade, one would need to condense all the dark energy in one’s body into crystalline power.

Crystal power came from the crystal nucleus, and the crystal nucleus was the product of the crystallization of dark energy after being compressed to the limit within the body of a zombie or mutated beast. Therefore, this crystal power could be considered a high-grade form of magical energy like dark energy.

This was also the fundamental reason why ordinary humans could evolve by devouring the sharpened flesh, and the only result of devouring the crystal nucleus was that there was no second result when the body exploded.

Intensifying the stimulating cells contained in the flesh combined with the mold would make it easier for humans to absorb the dark energy contained in the flesh. Once they absorbed the dark energy and withstood the pain of the body transformation and the impact of the brain, they would become an evolver.

The crystal power contained in the crystal core was too violent for ordinary human fragile bodies. Only then did they obtain the Evolutionary Medicine, even though it was unearthed from the ruins.

The principle is actually to extract the crystalline power and restore it to the form of dark energy, The purpose of mixing all kinds of mutated drugs with perfectly matched products was to allow ordinary humans to absorb them, and the impact on their brains was much less than that of stimulated meat. The success rate of evolution was nearly 100% higher, and one percent was an accident that belonged to a very small number of individuals.

At this moment, Yifan’s team was not weak. He stood in front of the team and shouted, “Today, we are leaving for LY County. Next, I will arrange a train.”

“All members of the Heavenly Rock Five Bird Tiger Team and the Ape Team, including the captain and vice captain, get on the bus. The task I’m giving you is to protect the unevolved families and professors.”

“Heavenly Rock Five Bird Deer Squad, split up one of your dregs trucks and two off-road vehicles. You will be at the front with me.”

“The Heavenly Rock Five Bird Hawks, in the play, will be divided into two cross-country teams.”

“Heavenly Rock Five Birds Team, split into a dregs truck and two off-road trucks. Deputy Team Leader Fina will lead you to suppress them.”

“Heavenly Rock Five Birds Squad, immediately go to the motorcade position on the highway. After the captains and vice captains have arranged their seats, they will wait in the car for the departure order.”

Hualala!

Under the leadership of their respective captains and vice captains, everyone from the Heavenly Rock Five Birds Squad quickly sprinted towards the highway in an orderly manner.

Yifan also brought Fei Na upstairs to pick up her parents, Ling Wanyao’s mother, Auntie Deng, and the three professors.

When she arrived downstairs, her mother saw the huge cauliflower and gasped. “Little Fan, I heard that Little Snow said that this big snake is a cauliflower snake?”

Yi Fan smiled bitterly and said, “Yes, Cauliflower’s predecessor was an ordinary cauliflower snake. However, it has evolved three times now. I wonder if it is still a cauliflower snake now.”

After hearing this, Mom also sighed endlessly and didn’t ask any more questions. She just looked at Cauliflower in fear.

Dad rubbed his hands excitedly and asked, “Little Fan, can I touch this snake?”

“Yes,” said Yifan. “After the third stage of cauliflower, you’re much smarter. There shouldn’t be any problem.”

Yi Fan looked at Cauliflower, who was standing with his head crossed, and said, “Cauliflower, quickly come over.”

Cauliflower seemed to understand human language as she swiftly swam over. She lowered her head to Yifan and let out a whisper.

Yifan touched his head and pointed at his parents, “Cauliflower, those two are your masters from today onwards. If I’m not here, you have to listen to them, understand?”

Cai Hua hissed a few times. He didn’t know if he understood or not, but Yi Fan called out to his father, who had been waiting at the side for a long time.

Dad walked up excitedly, his left hand trembling as he slowly touched the top of Cauliflower’s head.

Cauliflower ignored his father and continued to whine at Yi Fan like a spoiled child.

Dad’s hand finally touched Cauliflower’s head. Before Dad could feel anything, Cauliflower immediately retracted her head and stood up high, like a shy child.

“Hahaha ~! I can feel it pull.” Dad laughed heartily, as if he wished he could jump three feet tall.

“Haha, let’s go, Mom and Dad!” Yifan chuckled.

As he spoke, he quickly brought them to the motorcade on the highway, and Cauliflower followed him.

Moments later, he sent his parents, Auntie Deng and three professors to the bus and gave some instructions to Eyeglasses and Song Yixin and Song Yixin.

Yifan decisively got out of the car and went to the front of a dirt truck to prepare to set off. When he opened the door, he found Ji Ruoxue sitting in the main driver’s seat.

Ji Ruoxue immediately reacted and said, “Team Leader, why don’t you drive?”

Yifan chuckled and said, “You drive. It’s good for me to take a car.”

Last night, Fina and Yi Fanfei were tangled up quite late. This Yi Fanfei was a newlywed, and both of them were evolvers. Once the system became stronger, then that aspect would become stronger.

It took Yifan more than four hours to unleash the essence of life in Fei Na’s plea for forgiveness. At this moment, with the thought of sleeping for a while, she immediately sat down in the passenger seat, not knowing that the tragedy was about to happen.

“Buzz buzz buzz buzz!” All the vehicles started up, headed by Ji Ruoxue’s dirt truck and Cauliflower, followed by six off-road tourist buses and a dirt truck at the back, heading towards LY County.

“Fina, let me ask you something. Does boss have a stick technique suitable for me to practice?” Qiang Zi said with a flattering expression on his face in the last truck.

Fei Na yawned and said, “I’ve heard Brother Fan say that you should use your brain. Your spear skills and stick skills are similar, but each has its own strengths. He took pictures of both spear skills for you, just that he has some expectations for you in the stick skills.”

Hearing Fina’s words, Qiangzi clearly understood what Yi Fan meant. It was obvious that Yi Fan wanted him to find his own way out of these two spear techniques. Ever since Yi Fan had given him a stick.

He had always been a stick as a gun emissary, and he could use it fairly smoothly. However, in some moves, he felt a little awkward. However, after hearing Fei Na’s words, Qiangzi knew that Yifan did not have the basic skill of a stick anymore. It seemed that he had to rely on himself.

“Yes, I know.” Qiangzi stopped talking about driving, while Fina narrowed her eyes and seemed to be napping.

There are three tunnels on the CL Expressway to LY County. The first is about 8 kilometers long, the second is about 5 kilometers long, and the third tunnel is only a few hundred meters long.

At this moment, Yifan’s convoy was already heading towards the tunnel. The tunnel entrance was pitch black and there were a few abandoned car wreckage on the entrance. Yifan immediately woke up when he saw this. He grabbed the walkie-talkie and said, “Attention, teams, we need to enter the tunnel about 8 kilometers long. Turn on the headlights and slow down. Please reply.”

“Heavenly Rock Five Bird Tiger Team, copy!”

“Heavenly Rock Five Bird Deer Team, copy!”

“Heavenly Rock Five Birds Bear Team, copy!”

“The Heavenly Rock Five Bird Ape Team has received it!”

“Heavenly Rock Five Bird Hawks, copy!”

Apart from the deer team being replied by Vice Captain Zhang Liang, the other teams were all captains replying to Yifan.

After receiving all the captains’ replies, Yifan found that his car did not slow down. Instead, it was rushing towards the tunnel entrance faster and faster. Thus, Yifan asked with a dumbfounded expression, “Slow down! Why don’t you slow down?”

Yi Fan looked at Ji Ruoxue in confusion. He clearly told everyone to slow down, but this silly girl kept stepping on the accelerator.

Ji Ruoxue blushed when she saw Yifan staring at her nervously. She had always had a very complicated and strange feeling about Yifan.

She had once been angrily scolded by Yifan. It was the first time she had grown so old. She had been scolded so miserably. In the end, she still felt that she was wrong. All of this caused her to be a little scrambled and confused in front of Yifan. She was even very flustered when it was only Yifan and her.

So when Ji Ruoxue heard Yifan tell her to slow down, her reaction was so fast that she immediately stomped on the brake. That speed, that decisive expression, that execution…

‘”Bang …” Yi Fan was shocked. He smashed his head into the front glass and threw his head and upper body onto the hood. Fortunately, Yi Fan reacted very quickly. Just as he was about to fly out, he grabbed the handle above the door with his right hand, and the entire convoy stopped amidst a series of braking sounds.

Ji Ruoxue also cried out in alarm. She hurriedly loosened the clutch under the steering wheel. The dregs truck flew forward like a bull and then went out of service.

“Bang!” Yifan, who had a face full of broken glass, had just raised his head when his face and hood were once again tightly bonded together, creating a dent in his face on the hood.

“Senior, senior, are you alright? I didn’t do it on purpose. I’ll drag you in immediately.” Ji Ruoxue said guiltily after a moment.

Yi Fan immediately turned around with a face full of glass fragments. His left hand stood in front of Ji Ruoxue and said, “Don’t move. Don’t move anything now. All you have to do now is pull on the handbrake and open the door to get out of the car. Hurry up!”

“Carla…!” Ji Ruoxue grievously pulled on the handbrake, while Yi Fan slowly covered his right face and retracted into the driver’s seat.

She looked out of the window at Ji Ruoxue, who was standing on the road, feeling rather aggrieved.

Yifan used his hand to clean the glass residue on his head and face. He looked at the mirror in the car. Fortunately, his skin was tough. Fortunately, he had already reached a small success in leather refinement a few days ago. He was also a Third Grade Evolution. Otherwise, he might have to disintegrate. Yifan sighed.

He sat in the driver’s seat and signaled Ji Ruoxue to come up.

Ji Ruoxue sat honestly on the passenger seat this time and said timidly, “I’m sorry, team leader, I didn’t mean to. I promise that nothing like this will happen again.”

Yifan almost lost her temper when he saw her expression and what she said.

Yi Fan said weakly, “Ji Ruoxue, am I that scary? Isn’t it good for you to drive when you get out of school? Why did you become a road killer the moment I got up? Besides, it was me who got injured. What kind of grievance are you feeling?”

Ji Ruoxue’s face turned red to the root of her neck. She said somewhat dejectedly, “Team Leader, I’m sorry, I really didn’t do it on purpose.”

Yi Fan was already powerless to complain. He said indifferently, “Well, I won’t dare to ride in your car in the future. I still want to live a few more years.”

Fina’s voice came from the intercom, “Zi … Zi! Brother Fan, what’s going on up ahead? Why did you suddenly stop?”

Ji Ruoxue quickly picked up the walkie-talkie that had fallen to her feet and handed it to Yifan.

Yifan took it and said, “It’s all right, Fei Na. I just got cheated by a stupid girl. I’m ready to enter the tunnel. You just have to follow me.”
