EOWCFC Chapter 30 – Illusion? Another One?

Xiao Ziling, who had not slept enough, was very angry– why was his bed always shaking? He was really sleepy, but he can’t sleep well! He couldn’t help but to clench his fist and slam down on the bed below him, yelling: “Don’t move the bed!” 

He only heard a muffled hum, and then the bed finally stopped moving. Xiao Ziling happily rubbed his face against the sheets, wanting to continue to sleep.

    At this time, a violent force threw him to the ground, and Xiao Ziling’s ass hit the ground abruptly.

    “Ow!” With a painful cry, Xiao Ziling took a breath of cold air and touched the painful part, then opened his eyes in a daze. Directly above him, Chu Zhitian stared at him with a dark face, cold all over.

    “What’s the matter?” Xiao Ziling was very confused. What kind of situation was this? Which guy who knows nothing about life and death and dared to provoke Chu Zhitian?

  “What’s your meaning?” These three words were almost squeezed out of Chu Zhitian’s teeth, which shows that Chu Zhitian’s resentment is deep!

    “Hehe…hehehehe…” Xiao Ziling’s head gradually became sober at this time, knowing that it was him who had provoked Chu Zhitian, and who didn’t know whether to live or die. He actually treated Chu Zhitian as a bed, and hit him multiple times… Sweat appeared on Xiao Ziling’s forehead immediately, and he could only smile weakly.

    A with a hit to the head, and Chu

    Zhitian said with a stern face: “Why are you smiling? How do you feel now?” 

Xiao Ziling wanted to get up quickly; he rested his right hand on the ground and strongly surged up with both feet… Then his heart–and his feet– softened, and he collapsed to the ground again.

    Chu Zhitian frowned, “Can’t stand up yet?” Worry flashed in his eyes. It seems that Xiaoling overdid it with his ability more seriously than he’d thought. This kid was too reckless. You must know that if you overdraw it too much, it will cause permanent damage to your body, inability to recover, and even more seriously, may cause the complete loss of your ability.

    After rubbing his calf vigorously, Xiao Ziling said with a bitter face, “It’s still very sore, I can’t use it anymore.” He looked up, annoyed, and said, “Chu-ge, I’m sorry, I ruined my legs.”

    Obviously, he wanted to perform well. Why are there always problems like this? Xiao Ziling’s tears ran freely; why is it so hard to be a little brother with big, sturdy legs?

    Xiao Ziling’s pitiful expression and the appearance of a heavy blow aroused Chu Zhitian’s compassion. He took out a clear crystal from his pocket and threw it over. Xiao Ziling subconsciously caught it; turns out it was a transparent crystal nucleus the size of a baby’s fist.

    Seeing Xiao Ziling’s doubts, Chu Zhitian walked over and said, “This is your spoils from that spirit type zombie.”

    Lifting the crystal core, Xiao Ziling exclaimed: “It turns out that the crystal core of the spirit type zombie is transparent…” 

 In the previous life, Xiao Ziling had never seen the crystal nucleus of the spirit-type zombies. There had been no way to kill it in the early stage, and it was even more difficult in the later stage. The crystal nuclei of the spirit-type zombies were basically the collections of the super powerful elite.

    While Xiao Ziling was still marveling, Chu Zhitian had already walked in front of Xiao Ziling, grabbed him by the arm, and pulled him upright. He ignored Xiao Ziling’s dazed expression, turning his back and bending his knees slightly, beckoning him to come up. Chu Zhitian was ready to carry Xiao Ziling and move on.

    Xiao Ziling panicked and quickly shook his head and waved his hand: “No, no, Chu-ge, I can leave after a rest, so you don’t need to carry me.” It is inexcusable for Chu Zhitian to continue to be  burdened by him even after he was in a coma just now. If certain people knew, Xiao Ziling would definitely die without a whole body. He could vividly imagine Chen Jingwen’s insightful gaze leveled at him, and Xiao Ziling couldn’t help but shudder, his whole body was covered in goosebumps.

    “What are you talking about? Still not coming up yet?” Chu Zhitian became impatient, his tone chilling. Intimidated, Xiao Ziling jumped directly onto Chu Zhitian’s back.

    Chu Zhitian’s back is warm and safe. Xiao Ziling, who was leaning there, could only hear the speed of his heartbeat, and his face felt extremely hot.

    I didn’t expect to be piggy-backed by Chu Zhitian… Who would imagine that Chu Zhitian, king of the apocalypse, would really treat me like this?

Xiao Ziling was proud, and wanted to lie down and laugh.

    Xiao Ziling managed to get his thoughts under control and returned to normal. However, they found that they were walking on the shore of the dock, passing by one port after another. Chu Zhitian never boarded and inspected any of the ships. Xiao Ziling asked curiously, “Chu-ge, why didn’t you go up and check?” as they passed by a ship again. Xiao Ziling looked back at the giant cargo ship greedily and wanted to go up and see what good cargo was inside.

    “These are not what we want. Our goal is the oil tankers.” Chu Zhitian bluntly stated the purpose of this trip.

    Xiao Ziling considered that Chu Zhitian was indeed worthy of being the revered Chu Zhitian. When everyone’s eyes were still on collecting food, Chu Zhitian had already considered collecting gasoline, which would definitely become more scarce than food in the future. 

    While Xiao Ziling was still sighing over his greatness, Chu Zhitian suddenly hesitated and slowed down. He turned his head and asked softly, “Xiaoling, can you still open your spiritual eye?”

    “Yes.” Xiao Ziling quickly turned on the spiritual eyes. He asked in a low voice, “Chu-ge? Is there anything wrong?”

    “I don’t know… I always feel that something is wrong, as if danger is nearby.” Chu Zhitian’s abilities suddenly heightened just now, as if to alert him of the danger.

    When Xiao Ziling heard the words, he immediately focused on his spiritual eyes. Since Chu Zhitian said that, there must be a situation. He had to suss out the problem. This was when he had to show his skills; the chance to rise up from the cannon-fodder class had come.

    But there was nothing. Xiao Ziling looked around doubtfully with his spiritual eyes time and time again, but still did not see anything in his spiritual eyes except for the freighter container, not even a single zombie.

    “Chu-ge, I didn’t see anything, not even zombies.” Xiao Ziling was discouraged, feeling incompetent, and subconsciously clenched his right hand, but was hurt by the hard object in his palm.

    Spreading the palm of his hand, the crystal nucleus of the spiritual zombie appeared in Xiao Ziling’s sight. The right eye that opened the spiritual eye suddenly burned, and it seemed to have reacted to the crystal nucleus, and there was a feeling of being swallowed.

    Holding the crystal core in a panic, Xiao Ziling turned his head and dared not look at his right hand. One the crystal core was out of his right eye’s line of sight, the burning sensation quickly subsided, as if the scene just now was Xiao Ziling’s illusion.

    Xiao Ziling breathed a sigh of relief. When he was about to put the crystal core into his space, suddenly his inspiration flashed, and he exclaimed, “Could it be a spiritual zombie?”

    Chu Zhitian was taken aback, and immediately stopped. He looked around, his face slowly becoming hard to look at. After a moment of silence, he said solemnly: “Xiaoling, if you are correct, then I’m afraid that this one is a stronger one. Perhaps the spiritual zombie is nearby, and we have already been hit by an illusion. “

    Huh? Xiao Ziling looked around and found nothing unusual.

    “Have you noticed that the models of freighters are very regular…”

    Xiao Ziling compared it and finally realized that every five freighters had a cycle. They walked for such a long period of time, but they were just walking around in circles.

    “Chu-ge, what should I do now?” Xiao Ziling asked worriedly.

    “This illusion must be broken!” Chu Zhitian said decisively.

    Only in this way can he and Xiao Ziling have a chance to make it out alive.
