Doomsday Descends: My Villainous Destiny

Chapter 39: Xu Chao's Gift



“Breakfast is ready.”

Xu Chao heard Zhou Lan's voice from the living room and responded, then walked over to the dining table.

The breakfast was simple: frozen dumpling and two glasses of milk. However, in the post-apocalyptic world, such a breakfast was already considered a rare delicacy.

Xu Chao had gathered these supplies by controlling his shadow and venturing to other places.

Reflecting on this, Xu Chao couldn't help but marvel at how incredible his ability was. Although initially only E-level, it could evolve with the shadow's progression, potentially reaching S-level!

Moreover, his shadow was extremely versatile, possessing formidable combat power and the ability to devour everything. Inside the shadow was essentially a storage space where he could keep items.

Xu Chao could even project his consciousness onto the shadow.

But the most extraordinary feature was that his shadow wouldn't disappear; no matter how far away it went, or even if it died, it would instantly return to him and revive.

This was why Xu Chao loved this era.

Not only could someone like him, who had been at the bottom of society, obtain a goddess like Zhou Lan, but his ability's potential was also immensely great!

Xu Chao pondered future plans while eating breakfast. The main reason he and Zhou Lan had been hiding in the house wasn't just because he was preoccupied with lust.

The most crucial point was that his ability had a significant weakness. Although his shadow was incredibly powerful and could even regenerate infinitely, Xu Chao himself was still a regular person.

He could get hurt and die. So Xu Chao didn't dare to leave the house directly. He planned to develop his strength cautiously…

If his shadow could evolve once, it could then possess his body, granting him self-defense capabilities.

In recent days, Xu Chao had already used his shadow to understand the situation in Donghua City.

With his consciousness projected onto the shadow, Xu Chao didn't have to worry about any dangers and could go anywhere he wanted.

He even discovered that in several places in Donghua City, survivors had established shelters, including other evolved individuals!

However, these weren't Xu Chao's primary concerns at the moment. He noticed that zombies seemed to be changing.

When the outbreak first happened, zombies were ferocious and terrifying, but their combat abilities weren't that extraordinary.

Now, some zombies had gradually become stronger and more terrifying, not only moving faster but also not fearing daylight.

The zombies had started to evolve…

In one part of Donghua City, thousands of zombies had gathered, among them a giant zombie, standing five meters tall, almost as high as a two-story building.

It was practically a mountain of flesh! This creature could be called a Zombie King!

Xu Chao's target was this Zombie King. He knew that ordinary zombies had energy crystals, and the Zombie King would certainly have something even more special.

The energy purity of the crystal in the Zombie King was probably hundreds of times that of ordinary crystals! A few hundred ordinary crystals couldn't compare to the Zombie King's crystal.

Energy purity was extremely crucial.

As his strength increased, Xu Chao felt that ordinary energy crystals no longer provided as much of a boost as before.

To break through to the next level, he would need higher-grade energy crystals! If he could get the Zombie King's energy crystal, Xu Chao could likely become a level 2 evolver.

His ability could also evolve to D-level! Although the Zombie King was extremely powerful and terrifying and that Xu Chao's shadow wasn't yet a match.

He didn't forget that his shadow could regenerate infinitely. Xu Chao planned to slowly wear it down! He only needed to stay safely in the house and remotely control his shadow…

As Xu Chao was pondering, Zhou Lan suddenly said in a low voice, “I heard on the radio that someone has established a shelter in the suburbs and is broadcasting to find survivors.”

Xu Chao frowned upon hearing this.

He shook his head and said, “I don't have enough strength yet. We'll go out once I become a level 2 evolver.”

Staying in the house forever wasn't a viable option!

After the apocalypse, people initially still had the internet and could exchange information on forums.

Later, the internet went down, and only the radio was still functioning. Some shelters used the radio to broadcast messages and gather survivors.

After all, in the apocalypse, ordinary people had to band together to have any chance of survival.

Dongdu was also broadcasting, announcing that it would be the largest shelter in the country, and perhaps the world, inviting wandering troops and evolved individuals to join.

In recent days, many wandering troops and evolved individuals had joined Dongdu, becoming part of the Qin family's subordinates.

However, Xu Chao had no interest. From listening to the radio, he had some understanding of Dongdu. It was a colossal entity!

A metropolis-scale shelter, with tens of thousands of troops and hundreds or even thousands of evolved humans.

Xu Chao was a god in Zhou Lan's eyes and a big shot in his small corner of Donghua City, but if he goes to Dongdu, among so many evolved humans, what would he be?

Xu Chao had enough of living a life of submission. Going to Dongdu would just make him another dog for the Qin family. Even if it was a well-treated dog, it was still a dog.

He didn't want that! Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix…

Dongdu, Qin Family Mansion.

In his room, Qin Jun slowly opened his eyes, seeing two used gene potion vials in front of him.

These gene potions were not developed by the Evolution Research Institute. Qin Jun had exchanged them from the system mall for 30 points of villain value.

“A-level Gene Potion: Increases evolution level by 200 experience points, requires 15 villain points to exchange.”

Qin Jun's eyes were deep. This mall system was indeed extraordinary. These exchanged gene potions directly enhanced his evolution level and were far more effective than ordinary energy crystals.

Qin Jun now faced the problem of advancing too quickly in his training. Although the Qin family had gathered many energy crystals, Qin Jun found that to break through to level 3 evolver, he needed higher-quality energy crystals…
