Chapter 160: Mysterious Man
After searching for a while, Zhu Lin found an open field with half-built buildings in the distance. It should be an unfinished construction area that was abandoned when the end of the world began.
Zhu Lin wasted no time and ran towards the construction area as fast as she could. When she finally threw the small piece of black branch into the construction area, a sea of mutated insects had formed behind her, chasing after her crazily. If someone saw it from a distance, they would see a black sea instead of a swarm of mutated insects.
After Zhu Lin threw the black branch onto the ground, she quickly escaped from there. If she was just two seconds late, she would be swept away by the sea of mutated insects and die without leaving even bones behind.
After escaping from the mutated insect swarm, Zhu Lin stood on the rooftop of an office building not far from the construction area. As she watched the mutated insects fight over the branch of the Phoenix Tree, she noticed that the zombies were also beginning to move toward the construction area.
Ten minutes later, a large number of zombies had surrounded the construction area. At first she thought the zombies were attracted to mutated insects. But when she saw the mutated insects devouring the zombies instead, Zhu Lin knew that it was the divine energy exuded by that branch of the Phoenix Tree that attracted the zombies.
Seeing more and more zombies gathering around the construction area, Zhu Lin decided to leave as soon as possible. Just when she left S City, a bloody battle between high rank zombies to fight for that small piece of black branch began in the construction area.
When the fighting was at its most intense, a handsome man wearing a white shirt and black pants walked calmly toward the construction area. Wherever he walked passed, the zombies would either run away or hide. When some higher rank zombies get in his way, they explode the next second.
The handsome man glanced at the remains of those high rank zombies expressionlessly and continued walking towards the construction area. Around him, mutated insects exploded one after another, and their corpses and venom corroded everything touched by their body liquid.
The handsome man walked into the construction area, glanced left and right, and then walked towards the small piece of black branch.
Since most of the mutated insects exploded because of his pressure, the remaining mutated insects ran away. Without the mutated insects surrounding the black branch, he easily found the small piece of a black branch lying on the dirty ground, with smoke still coming from one end of the branch.
The man picked up the black branch of the Phoenix Tree, took a deep breath, and inhaled the smoke produced by the branch. As if he had just eaten the most delicious food in the world, the man let out a low hum from his throat. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the lingering divine energy in his body.
