The Last Rock Emperor - Chapter 78

Chapter 78 People From The Military
Buzz buzz buzz buzz! Everyone quickly packed up. Just as they were about to retreat, a wave of fist-sized mutated flies flew towards them. Fortunately, the flies had no interest in humans. All of them pounced on the blood plasma and happily licked the blood on the ground.

Ji Ruoxue said coldly, “Hurry up and leave. So many flies are too disgusting!”

Everyone quickly left the battlefield and rushed towards the entrance of Jack’s Clothing Shop. Just as they were about to arrive at the entrance of the street, they met a few strangers, causing Ji Ruoxue and the others’ eyes to shine.

However, this was the end of the world. At the same time, everyone’s eyes lit up. They were all secretly circulating the dark energy in their bodies as they carefully looked at them.

There were a total of seven of them. All of them were sturdy, mighty, and tall. Each of them wore a complete set of equipment for individual combat. They wore camouflage, and their identities were about to emerge. Judging from their stature, temperament, clothing, and attire, they were definitely soldiers.

The seven of them quickly approached. The man in the lead looked at Ji Ruoxue and said, “You must be Ji Ruoxue. You’re much prettier than the information on the file. You don’t need to be nervous. We are from the military base in C City.”

“Commander Zhao sent us to discuss your joining the military. You should be able to lead us to Zhu Yifan, right?”

“Why should we believe you?” Ji Ruoxue said coldly.

“Then how can you trust us?” The man said quickly.

Qiang Zi replied, “It’s simple. Dismantle all weapons and equipment, and temporarily hand them over to us for safekeeping. We’ll be able to see Boss.”

The man in the lead seemed to hesitate. He looked at his teammates behind him and finally ordered, “Drop the gun!”

Without the slightest hesitation, the six people behind him immediately put down their Wind God Assault Rifles. One of them was equipped with a lightning sniper rifle, as well as Wind Snake pistols, grenades, and so on.

A few people from the Heavenly Rock Five Birds Squad walked out and quickly collected some weapons to their side. Ji Ruoxue said, “Follow me five steps away.”

All the members of the Heavenly Rock Deer Squad walked towards Jack’s Shop. Qiang Zi and Song Yixin followed behind the seven of them. The three squads sandwiched the seven of them in the middle and walked towards the room at the underground crossing.

Everyone walked at normal speed. After walking for about 20 minutes, they finally saw the light at the exit.

On the first floor of the underground garage, in a corner of the huge parking lot, Yi Fan was sitting on the ground in the middle of a circle of cars. Yi Fan’s harvest over the past seven days was not small.

With the greatest harvest of saber techniques, relying on his seven years of actual combat experience in his previous life, borrowing two elementary techniques and the advanced saber techniques from the Wind Sword Scripture, and combining with his rock force characteristics, he made a major breakthrough in saber techniques and created three saber techniques that belonged to him.

In addition, every night, he refined his skin, tempered his tendons, studied formations, and tempered his dark energy in hopes of breaking through to Tier 4. Although he hadn’t reached Tier 4 yet, his current strength should be considered a Tier 3 high-end water product. Tier 4 was just around the corner.

Third to Fourth Order Evolution was a huge obstacle. The path of evolution was from First Order to Third Order Evolution, and from Fourth to Sixth Order to Intermediate Order Evolution. This was a large order.

To break through to Tier 4, a Tier 3 evolver had to temper the dark energy in his body into a higher energy form called Crystal Force.

This process was extremely lengthy. With Yifan’s body, he could absorb 50 cores a day to temper his physical strength and dark energy. There were even fewer others because the absorption of cores depended on the strength of his body and the speed at which it was absorbed.

Yifan’s body had also been refining for a period of time. He was already at the small completion stage, and his physical strength was not comparable to that of other evolvers of the same level.

On his meridians, Yifan had already begun to temper his tendons. His twelve meridians and eight odd meridians were already fully opened, and the speed at which his energy was converted and circulated was incomparable to that of other evolvers.

This was also why Yi Fan had taught his subordinates how to clear the meridians before the Third Order, because the meridians in his entire body had reached a state of absolute control over his body.

This was because the faster they absorbed the crystal nuclei, the faster they would be able to temper the dark energy in their bodies into crystalline power.

The same was true in his previous life. Many early evolvers who had evolved to Third Grade quickly by relying on their crystal cores had unstable foundations. Sometimes, they could not even control their own bodies.

This directly caused their combat strength to be low at Third Grade. In the future, they would absorb the crystalline nuclei extremely slowly, and it would also be extremely slow to temper the dark energy in their bodies.

He had been stuck in the Third Grade for a long time, some years, some even decades. As he grew older, the elasticity of his meridians became weaker and weaker. The later he got, the harder it would be to clear his meridians. Some of them had even been stuck in the Third Grade for the rest of their lives.

In fact, swallowing and absorbing crystal cores is not like taking medicine in a game. It’s like eating alone. First, it depends on how much you eat, then it depends on your digestive system.

The more cores one could swallow and the faster one could digest, the stronger the energy in one’s body would be, and the faster the dark energy would be compressed.

Most importantly, these cores couldn’t be eaten randomly, nor could they be eaten too much. This depended on everyone’s system and body strength earrings.

If you overestimate yourself and eat a set of polycrystalline cores, then the result will be that you will be unable to control the dark energy in your body and will explode to death.

This is the reason why Third Grade to Fourth Grade become a great barrier. After reaching Fourth Grade, you will know that the power obtained from these barriers is definitely worth it.

If all the dark energy in his body and body was converted into crystal power, he would be able to smoothly enter Tier 4, and Tier 4 would turn the world upside down.

Take Tier 4 Strengthening Elements and ordinary evolvers for example. Tier 4 evolvers would also possess the ability to release energy. They could use crystal power to attach to weapons and their bodies to attack and defend.

Those that were originally elemental abilities would undergo qualitative changes under the stimulation of the crystal power. In the case of fire, the power of the flames would be greatly increased, and the colors of the flames would also change slightly.

As for Tier 4 physical mechanisms, Strengthening Element Strength, Speed, and so on, they would be redefined. It could be said that Tier 4 marked the beginning of a new era for apocalyptic humans.

Underground garage, temporary training ground.

Yifan slowly stood up. Next was the time for him to practice his saber technique. The broadsaber on his waist was already in his hand. He held the saber with one hand. There was no energy on the saber. The saber wind whistled.

The eight techniques of the saber were swept, hacked, plucked, sliced, swept, nai, chopped, and executed at top speed. The saber in Yifan’s hand seemed to transform into a black dragon roaring in the wind of the saber.

The blade technique was getting faster and fiercer, and the overflowing blade wind could even cut apart the iron sheet on the surrounding car.

“Rock… Collapse… Slash!” The blade in Yifan’s hand suddenly became blurry. The blade seemed to suddenly widen a bit. It seemed to be moving very slowly down the front of a car. As soon as the blade entered the front of the car, the car began to crack. The blade seemed to be extremely slow, but in fact, it cut into the front of the car very quickly. At this moment, cracks began to appear on the entire car body.

“Carla… Crash!” The whole car cracked strangely. At this moment, an intact car on the ground was broken into pieces.

Rock Collapse Slash. Yi Fan used his fleshly power to create an extremely fast and high-frequency vibration on his blade. In addition, he poured pure fleshly power into the blade and instantly dismembered a small carriage. If Yi Fan wanted to slash that part of his body, it would probably immediately shatter or explode.

Yifan was ready to continue practicing. Ji Ruoxue’s voice came from the headphones of the communicator. She said that the military was coming. Yifan immediately stopped practicing his saber technique and walked out. Finally, he arrived.

Yifan walked out of his temporary training spot and arrived at the first floor of the underground garage. He leaned against a car near the entrance. Ji Ruoxue and seven other military guests did not keep Yifan waiting for long, but quickly appeared in front of Yifan.

“You should be Zhu Yifan, right?” Said the leader, looking at Yi Fan’s ordinary face.

Yifan said calmly, “Yes, that’s right!”

“Let me introduce myself. I’m Wu Ge, the representative sent by Commander Zhao of C City to discuss your joining the military. If you have any requests, just let me know. I’ll report them truthfully to the higher-ups. Of course, if possible, you’d better go to the military yourself.”

Yifan said with a smile, “What can the military in C City give me and what do I have to pay for it?”

‘”As long as you join the military, City C will report your rank and position. Of course, the highest level that City C can declare right now is colonel, and it won’t exceed this level. You will be assigned a batch of ordnance and daily necessities at the brigade level. Of course, you have to pull up the troops yourself.” Wu Ge said seriously.

Wu Ge looked at Yifan and found that this person’s expression was calm and unmoved. He continued, “Also, Team Zhao wants you to be stationed at City C Survivor Base and increase the strength of the military’s current evolvers as much as possible. I hope you don’t refuse. The current situation of City C Survivor Base is not optimistic.”

Yifan said calmly, “Well, if you want me to help you train the evolvers, don’t even think about what you’ve been staying here for a long time.”

Wu Ge said solemnly, “He wants you to stand on the human side, starting from the 70W ordinary survivors of Survivors Base in C City. He wants you to think carefully and make your choice.”

At this moment, Yifan also said seriously, “Well, what you said is very true and to my liking. Let me be honest with you. I can help you train the team of evolvers and make them stronger quickly. However, it’s not without a bottom line. There’s no need to say anything else about staying here for a long time. I have my own plans.”

Wu Ge also heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Well, then tell me this later. No matter what, Commander Zhao told me to thank you. The four basic cultivation methods you left behind have been widely promoted in the army. Everyone in the army must cultivate a cold weapon cultivation method now.”

“These techniques are extremely useful in battles. The military has already started mass-producing cold weapons to cater to your four techniques.”

At this moment, Yifan sighed and said, “I hope that you will not only promote these techniques in the army, but also among the ordinary survivors.”

Yifan continued, “Nothing much. Just pay attention to the movements of the corpses. In three days, I will definitely make a trip to the survivors’ base in C City to meet with the higher-ups of the military and deal with some troubles.”

At this moment, Wu Ge was relieved and said, “Alright, I will report your words to the higher-ups truthfully. I hope that the next time we meet, we will have become comrades in arms.”

Yi Fan said sincerely, “Hmm, I hope so.”

“Then we won’t disturb you any longer. We still have to rush back to resume our orders.” Wu Ge left behind a map and began to bid farewell.

Yi Fan nodded his head and took the map. “Alright, good luck on your journey. See you at our base.”

“See you later!” Wu Ge said.

Yi Fan said to Qiang Zi on the side, “Return all their guns to them and send them to the tunnel entrance.”

“Alright!” Qiangzi replied. Very quickly, Qiangzi returned all their firearms to Wu Ge and the others. In a moment, Wu Ge and the others walked to the second basement.

Yifan looked at Wu Ge who walked out of the garage and thought to himself, “Then it’s time for my trip to the military base in C City. Zhou Weiguo, are you ready?”
