Step on the Star - C10
That night, at Zhong Shan, Xu San was sent away. Lu Yin once again came to the tree outside the tent and looked up at the sky.
Originally, Lu Yin did not have a clue, but today, he had touched upon Zhou Shan’s slash mark, and could vaguely sense the strength of his battle with Orton. Feeling something in his heart, he stared fixedly at the night sky.
The energy was being absorbed into his body as if it was visible to the naked eye. In his palm, there was a hazy star shining, and that was the moon, revolving around his palm and producing stars in the air. This was the Heavenly Star Palm.
This was the energy that he had absorbed, and it was not restricted by the energy crystals, and it could be absorbed at any time. Furthermore, the rate at which Bastard and the others absorbed this energy had doubled, and this was the Heavenly Star Art.
The moment Lu Yin dispersed the stars in the palm of his hand, Zhou Shan suddenly opened his eyes. In that instant, he felt a tinge of fear, but immediately after, he felt nothing. “Looks like today’s battle is too tiring.”
The next day, Lu Yin received an order from Heaven Punisher Holy Zhou Mountain to personally send him to support the northern front line.
Zhou Shan had always wanted to connect Jin’ling and the capital city, and then connect with the other six saints, joining hands to take back Hua Xia. The idea was not wrong, but it was too difficult, for just a single path had taken several months, and it had not even been a tenth of the way to the Northern Capital City. The communication line had long since been cut off.
The front lines were very important to Zhou Shan. No matter how difficult it was, his focus was always on the front lines. The fourteen centurions of the Punishment Battalion were almost half on the front lines, demonstrating Zhou Shan’s determination to connect to the capital.
The ones heading to the front line this time were Lu Yin, Kang Dafeng and Luo Yun, Luo Yun was that charming Captain Wan, she had always been curious about Lu Yin.
Leading ten thousand troops, Lu Yin and his men left Jinling and headed north.
“Rather than saying that it’s to support the front, it’s more accurate to say that it’s to fix the route,” Luo Yun said tiredly.
The ten thousand soldiers had already left for a day and had not rested much. It was no wonder that Luo Yun would complain.
The road was bumpy, and they had to repair cars from time to time.
In another armoured vehicle, Lu Yin was resting with his eyes closed, occasionally raising his head to look at the sky, watching the dazzling sunlight. He didn’t know if he could simulate the movement of the sun, but once he succeeded, his speed of absorbing star energy would increase twofold.
However, it’s not easy to simulate the sun, maybe you should start from Earth, you don’t have to look at the stars, you can also look for videos of the era’s galaxies.
Simulating the operation of the stars was the way to adapt to the operation of the universe, and Lu Yin had to keep trying.
As they passed a city, both sides of the road were covered in flames. Zombies roamed the streets, occasionally attacking the carriages and being swept up by the soldiers’ guns.
“Keep it down, there are only a few bullets!” Kang Dafeng shouted. Suddenly, the frequency of the firearms being swept through decreased by quite a bit.
Inside the armoured vehicle, Xu San sneered, “The longer the apocalypse, the lower the use of firearms. Do we not need to use them now? “In a short period of time, these firearms will not even be comparable to scrap metal.”
Lu Yin looked out of the window and saw that more and more zombies were gathering. He frowned, “Order me to speed up and not get surrounded by a tide of zombies in the city. It’s a waste of time.”
“Okay, boss,” Xu San responded and walked out of the armoured vehicle.
Soon, the caravan sped up.
Lu Yin had defeated Zhao Yu, so he held a very high position amongst the ten thousand captains. Kang Dafeng and Luo Yun did not dare to refute him.
Speaking of Zhao Yu, Lu Yin truly admired her. She actually dared to cross the region by herself and even safely came to Jinling. Not everyone had this kind of courage.
Not long after, the caravan stopped. The road in front of them had been destroyed, and they were rushing to repair it.
Lu Yin closed his eyes. His fingers drummed in the air, rotating from time to time, imitating the trajectory of the stars.
Suddenly there was a loud shout and Kang Dafeng made his move. He slaughtered the zombies and started cursing.
Lu Yin glanced at it impatiently, but didn’t pay it any mind.
Xu San praised, “As expected of the Captain, those zombies were scared away.”
“Have Kang Dafeng come back and continue forward. There are too many zombies to kill.” Lu Yin’s tone gradually became colder.
Xu San nodded and was about to get out of the car, but turned his head helplessly, “Boss, Kang Dafeng chased the zombie into the abandoned building.”
Lu Yin raised his head and looked over. After a while, he got off the armoured vehicle with a grave expression.
“Boss, what’s wrong?” Xu San asked.
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes, “No sound.”
Xu San thought for a moment. “That’s right, there’s no sound of fighting coming from that building.”
“Brother Lu, where did Kang Dafeng go?” Luo Yun walked over and asked.
Lu Yin said in a low voice, “You guys stay here, I’ll go take a look.” Finished speaking, he pulled out his iron rod and walked towards the abandoned building.
Asta’s dagger was still in Jinling, so Lu Yin didn’t expect the torture camp to return it to him. He also rejected Zhou Shan’s saber and continued using the iron rod.
Flames were burning outside the abandoned building. Even in the sunlight, it still looked eerie.
Lu Yin slowly walked into the building. What he saw was Kang Dafeng’s saber, but he himself was nowhere to be seen.
Lu Yin walked step by step into the building. He retrieved the personal terminal from the spatial ring, tapped it a few times, and calculated his fighting strength. An arrow pointed towards the back right, and a set of numbers appeared — 900.
Lu Yin’s body was suddenly pushed to the side. The white thread pierced through the air and fiercely smashed against the wall, creating a huge crack.
Lu Yin looked over. It was actually a giant mutated spider. Its six pairs of scarlet eyes were quite frightening. There was also a blood-stained cloth at the corner of its mouth. It had come from the torture camp.
Lu Yin sighed. Kang Dafeng had died and was eaten by this mutated spider. He had come too late.
The mutated spider had 900 points in combat strength, which was equivalent to the peak of the Earth Realm. Kang Dafeng had just stepped into the Earth Realm, so he was naturally no match for it.
The mutated spider tried to jump up in an attempt to avoid the attack, but in the next instant, Lu Yin’s body disappeared and reappeared behind the spider. The iron rod hacked down and directly cut off the mutated spider’s body, leaving Kang Dafeng, who was still in the process of digesting, in its stomach.
This scene was very disgusting. Lu Yin frowned, then turned and left.
After returning to the caravan, Lu Yin made Xu San declare that no one was allowed to leave the caravan without permission, and the violators were expelled from the camp.
“Kang Dafeng is really dead?” Luo Yun was shocked.
Lu Yin said lightly, “You can go to the mansion and take a look. As your body hasn’t been digested, you can still recognize it.”
Luo Yun’s face turned pale. The dignified Captain said he would die just like that, without even a sound. If it wasn’t for Lu Yin, Kang Dafeng would have been digested by spiders. This was the cruel end of the world, even the Captain couldn’t protect himself.
Xu San’s face was pale as well. He immediately got into the armoured vehicle and decided that he would rather die than take even half a step away from Lu Yin.
Luo Yun also boarded Lu Yin’s armoured vehicle and did not plan to leave.
Lu Yin was speechless, “As long as we don’t leave the team, everything will be fine.”
Luo Yun rolled his eyes at Lu Yin, “It sounds light, but who knows if there are other mutated beasts in the world. It’s better to stay safe here.”
Lu Yin no longer paid any attention to Luo Yun, and ordered the convoy to continue forward.
“Boss, do you want to report to Jinling?” “After all, the Captain’s death isn’t a small matter,” Xu San asked.
Lu Yin said faintly, “There’s no need to rush. We’ll wait until we reach the front line. We might not even make it to the front line alive.”
Hearing this, Xu San’s face turned even paler.
Luo Yun licked her lips and subconsciously approached Lu Yin.
“It shouldn’t be that tragic. We should be able to safely reach the front lines,” Xu San comforted himself.
Lu Yin looked out of the window as the carriage slowly advanced.
“But having said that, Kang Dafeng was too unlucky. He actually managed to catch up to that building. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have died,” Xu San muttered to himself. He felt that only by speaking more would he feel safe.
The speaker was careless. Hearing his words, Lu Yin suddenly looked up, “What did you say? “Say it again?”
Xu San said in a daze, “I said Kang Dafeng was too unlucky. He actually managed to chase down that building. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have died.”
Lu Yin’s eyes flickered. Chase, zombie, skyscraper, that’s not right, zombies don’t have any consciousness, but they do have instincts to avoid danger. That mutated spider was obviously very dangerous. During the last six months, Lu Yin had experienced many dangers and was very familiar with zombies. Even if he was afraid of Kang Dafeng, it was impossible for him to escape to the vicinity of more dangerous creatures.
