Chapter 756: Seizing Power and Transmitting the Dharma

"Du Peng, I heard that you went out a hundred kilometers to a city this time and found two crates of medicine? I've seen the goods; they're good. They are all very precious antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs—they can save lives at critical moments."

"So, you want to go to the city again?"

At this moment, a sturdy man wearing a tank top sat in a chair, his cold gaze scrutinizing Du Peng.

Around them, over twenty guards with loaded guns were on high alert, guarding against the few of them.

"However, you have changed a lot, and so have your teammates." Zhang Ying didn't know why, but he caught a whiff of an unusual aura from these people.

This feeling was just like facing several biochemical monsters.

Was it an illusion?

But looking at the fact that there were only four of them and they were empty-handed, Zhang Ying shook his head inwardly and smiled; it seemed he was overthinking.

As the leader of this shelter, when had he become so sensitive and suspicious?

Du Peng was just a member of an ordinary search team within the shelter; they only had one vehicle and five or six people—they posed no threat whatsoever.

"Regarding the medicine, I have another very important matter I want to discuss with you, Leader." Du Peng said earnestly at this moment: "This time when I went to the city to search for medicine, I met a person. His name is Li Yi. He is not a survivor, nor is he even from this world, but he possesses the great power to change this world. I have decided to follow him."

"Du Peng, did you take drugs?" Zhang Ying suddenly laughed.

Du Peng said: "Leader, I did not take drugs. What I am saying is true. You and I both know that this way of surviving in the shelter is destined to have no future. As resources and the population dwindle and more people sacrifice themselves, sooner or later, everyone in our shelter will die at the hands of that group of biochemical monsters."

"Li Yi's appearance is a ray of light in this world, and fortunately, this existence, who is like a god, is willing to pity us, show goodwill, and guide us forward."

"So, Zhang Ying, let's cooperate. We need enough people to change all of this."

He extended a sincere invitation.

The smile on Zhang Ying's face gradually faded, and then it became somewhat gloomy: "Du Peng, I thought you came to talk business; I didn't expect you to be telling stories. Do you take me for a three-year-old child?"

"I am not lying to you, Zhang Ying. It is time for this terrible world to change, and it starts with our shelter." Du Peng let out a low shout and slammed his fist onto the table in front of him.

The table, welded from steel plates, instantly caved in under his strike, leaving a deep fist print.

This power?

Zhang Ying's pupils constricted, and his heart gave a violent jolt. This was a steel plate! Since when did Du Peng possess such superhuman strength?

The other guards nearby were also shocked.

This strength was already greater than those biochemical monsters.

Could it be that everything he said just now was true?

However, Zhang Ying soon felt a touch of terror and unease. If Du Peng and the others all possessed this level of strength, wouldn't his position as leader be in jeopardy?

Such unstable factors should not exist within the shelter.

"Kill, kill them! Open fire, kill them!" After coming to his senses, Zhang Ying gritted his teeth, his expression somewhat ferocious: "When did you biochemical monsters wearing human skin sneak in?"

This sudden order made the guards pause; they were still immersed in that unbelievable power.

"Kill them! Didn't you hear me?" Zhang Ying roared again.

He felt that some unexpected changes were happening within the shelter, and for such uncertain factors, the best method was to eliminate them.

What changing the world, what future.

To him, it was not important.

He didn't have such great ideals or goals; he just wanted to live in this shelter until he died.

"So the negotiation failed? On the road forward, there are always some people who will fall behind. Since you cannot lead the survivors to a better future, then let me become the new leader."

"Do it."

Du Peng roared at this moment, and he charged toward Zhang Ying like a violent beast.

"I knew it, you wanted to seize power."

Zhang Ying had also been prepared; he didn't know when he had pulled out a large-caliber revolver, and he opened fire immediately.

At the same time, the other guards pulled their bolts and prepared to fire.

But at the same time.

Liu Gao, Xu Li, and the Old Soldier, the three of them, moved instantly. Their figures were fast, appearing like afterimages in the eyes of others.

Gunshots and the sounds of fighting echoed in the Fifth District.

Zhang Ying, as the leader, took a punch and flew backward instantly. He didn't know how many bones in his body were broken, but a smile still appeared on the corner of his mouth because he had already hit Du Peng.

At such a close distance, with the large-caliber revolver in his hand, it was impossible for anyone to survive.

However, Du Peng, who had been hit by three bullets, acted as if nothing had happened and charged over with long strides.

The nano-suit on his body rippled, and three deformed bullets fell to the ground. Although the nano-suit from the Immortal Dao warship didn't have much defensive power, that was only for Li Yi; for ordinary people wearing it, blocking firearms was an easy task.

"Du Peng, you really are a monster." Zhang Ying's smile stiffened.

"This is the power of technology and the transcendent; you wouldn't understand. Zhang Ying, make way for the future of humanity." Du Peng attacked again, slamming a fist toward Zhang Ying's head.

Zhang Ying gritted his teeth and raised his gun to shoot again. This time, he aimed at Du Peng's head. Even with monster-like strength, being hit in the head would still kill him, right?

But Du Peng's freakish vision caught this, and he dodged the moment the other party fired.

Bang!

The bullet missed.

"You can even dodge bullets?" Zhang Ying let out a miserable laugh.

He felt some regret in his heart now, regret that he hadn't agreed to Du Peng's proposal earlier.

With such transcendent power, perhaps they really could fight against those biochemical monsters.

But life doesn't give second chances. Du Peng struck with a fist, and the immense power shattered Zhang Ying's head instantly.

Looking at Zhang Ying's fallen corpse, Du Peng was expressionless, his eyes filled only with determination.

For the shelter, although Zhang Ying wasn't a good leader, he wasn't a bad one either; it was just that he refused to move forward, so he had to be eliminated.

And at this moment.

The twenty-plus guards had also been dealt with; some were killed, some were disarmed and had their limbs broken, and some chose to surrender directly.

"From now on, I, Du Peng, am the new leader of this shelter. Everyone, there is no time left; there are only two hours remaining." Du Peng said.

Killing the leader didn't mean you had seized power.

Many places in the shelter needed to be secured, and at the same time, all the survivors had to be told about all these changes.

Only then could they open the shelter gates and go outside to see Li Yi again.

Two hours was very tight.

This was a real test of the capabilities of the few of them.

At the same time.

Li Yi, who appeared outside the shelter, stood high in the sky. He looked down at this land, and the smart brain Hong Ji was constantly performing calculations before his eyes.

"The construction plan for the new survival base has been formed. Master, please review it."

Soon.

Hong Ji inside the Immortal Dao warship presented a 3D projection before Li Yi.

Li Yi only took one look and immediately memorized the plan.

But he didn't implement it immediately, waiting instead for the success of Du Peng and the others.

As time passed bit by bit.

Soon.

When about two and a half hours had passed, the four shelter gates that had been tightly shut slowly opened.

Du Peng, the Old Soldier, Zhang Jieshan, Liu Gao, Xu Li, Huang Qiu, and others led all the survivors within the survival base out.

At this moment, it was already night.

Walking out of the survival base at night was an extremely dangerous thing because on the land at night, there existed many wandering biochemical monsters; once encountered, defeat was certain.

But even so, they still believed in Li Yi, so they left that fortress they relied on for survival.

"Li Yi, we succeeded." Du Peng looked up at the starry sky and shouted loudly.

He saw that figure high in the sky.

Although everything in this world was terrible, at least there was one point: because of the lack of industrial pollution, the starry sky at night was bright enough.

However, after Du Peng finished speaking.

That figure in the sky suddenly erupted with infinite great power; this power was enough to shake this heaven and earth.

The earth trembled, a gale blew, and silver lightning intertwined.

It was only for an instant.

The distant earth suddenly rose, turning into an insurmountable high wall, circling this shelter from east to west and north to south. Subsequently, the gale brought a large amount of fresh water, which fell onto the sunken land, forming a lake, and it connected to the underground river, ensuring the water source would never run dry.

Then the land churned, and the sand and rocks disappeared, becoming fertile soil that could be farmed.

Silver thunderbolts kept striking down, and the biochemical monsters hiding in the surroundings didn't even have a chance to run away before being struck into ashes.

"Is this the great power to change the world?" Du Peng, the Old Soldier, Zhang Jieshan, and others, as well as the many survivors behind them, were all stunned when they saw this scene.

Although they didn't doubt Li Yi's powerful strength.

But seeing with their own eyes this god-like person calling the wind and summoning the rain, moving mountains and filling seas, was still incredibly shocking. This scene was just like a myth reappearing, something that could only appear in legends; they didn't expect that on this night, they would be able to see it with their own eyes.

The rising earth formed a natural barrier and wall, isolating the invasion of biochemical monsters; the fertile soil and water source ensured the future survival of the survivors, and the striking lightning cleared away the hidden dangers.

Wait, is it raining?

There were no dark clouds in the night sky, but a torrential rain began to fall.

The torrential rain carried a strand of life essence that fell down, nourishing this barren place.

For the next period of time, as long as the people living on this land were there, their bodies would become strong, at least ensuring they could survive the most arduous initial phase.

Li Yi, having finished all this, stepped on auspicious clouds and descended from the sky.

"I will pass on the Evolution Method to you again. What the future will look like depends on yourselves." He extended a finger, and a strand of Primordial Spirit power condensed upon it; everything regarding the Evolution Method gathered there.

With just a flick of his finger.

The light of the Primordial Spirit enveloped these survivors, and then everything regarding the cultivation of the Evolution Method appeared in their minds.

The Evolution Method was not some profound cultivation method, but it was strong in its comprehensiveness and very suitable for combat and killing. Most importantly, it wasn't picky about aptitude; as long as you could enter the gate and put in some effort, reaching Spirit Perception was no problem.

And with the strength of Spirit Perception, killing biochemical monsters would be as simple as eating and drinking.
