Chapter 24 Do Not Trust Him-Apocalipse: Invencível, Cultivo Duplo pelo Mundo(Costeleta de porco com molho de mel)

Jiang Yunhan smiled faintly and continued, "I hope Brother Dashan can stay at the warehouse to ensure our peace and security."

At this, Lu Xingji had a sudden realization.

Boss Jiang was simply doting on his sister; he couldn't bear to take her along, yet he was worried about leaving her unattended. As for the "security of the warehouse" he mentioned? That was complete nonsense! The infrastructure would be perfected in three days; why would it be so precious that it required a top-tier powerhouse like Dashan to guard it?

Chen Xiao spoke for Dashan, "I can't guard your warehouse, but I can guard this room."

"Deal."

Jiang Yunhan did not hesitate for a second. He took a drink from Jiang Chuxue, finished it in one gulp, and asked, "Sister, is the place you're going to this time very dangerous?"

The apocalypse had been going on for nearly a week, and under her brother's care, Jiang Chuxue had almost never experienced the cruelty and bloodshed of this new world. However, she was not stupid; the meticulous preparations her brother had made meant that something significant was bound to happen.

"It's alright, about the same as usual." Jiang Yunhan chuckled, urging the mutton into the pot while adding, "The mutton my sister summons is truly a delicacy!"

Jiang Chuxue lost her usual cheerfulness, appearing troubled. The hotpot meal was finished in a heavy, contemplative mood, after which everyone returned to their respective quarters.

"Brother Xiao, you must be careful."

Although others assumed Chen Xiao and Dashan were a unit and would definitely remain guarding the warehouse, Tang Shirou was different. She had met Chen Xiao on the very first day of the apocalypse. Back then, Chen Xiao was wearing a hospital gown, carrying a sack on his back with a human head protruding from it, moving freely through the Jiangbei University of the Arts! Tang Shirou knew Chen Xiao would leave; as for where, she had no idea.

Chen Xiao nodded, unsurprised that Tang Shirou had guessed it. He leaned down, picked up Tang Shirou, and tossed her onto the bed. "Before I leave, I need to replenish my energy!"

"You're impossible!"

...

Nine o'clock at night.

Chen Xiao witnessed the departure of the vanguard team. The trucks were packed with people, roaring away into the distance. It comprised almost all of the warehouse’s strength—the three founders and a dozen team leaders—leaving only a handful of leaders to hold the fort, with Dashan left as the final trump card.

Chen Xiao quietly went upstairs and saw Dashan sitting rigidly in front of Jiang Chuxue's door. After a moment of sensing, he perceived Jiang Chuxue and Tang Shirou inside. Their breathing was steady, and their energy activity was minimal; they were likely asleep.

"Brother Xiao, don't worry, I'll keep watch. I'll take good care of the two sisters-in-law."

Chen Xiao paused. *Two sisters-in-law?* Dashan's train of thought was quite something—he had an even more vivid imagination than Chen Xiao himself! Too lazy to correct him, Chen Xiao simply instructed, "Dashan, remember what I am about to say, and you must do exactly as I tell you."

"Go ahead, Brother Xiao."

Chen Xiao cleared his throat and said word by word, "After midnight tonight, if anyone approaches this room, kill them all! Including me!"

"Repeat that!"

Dashan didn't know why Chen Xiao wanted him to repeat it, so he complied, "After midnight tonight, if anyone approaches this room, kill them all! Including you..."

"Wait! Why would I kill you?" Dashan stopped, suddenly realizing something was wrong. Was Brother Xiao losing his mind?

To his surprise, Chen Xiao stared at him with complete seriousness. "Yes, including me. If I approach, do not hold back—strike me down directly!"

Dashan looked confused and troubled. "But..."

"Dashan, do you trust me?" Chen Xiao suddenly asked.

Dashan replied sternly, "I do. You saved my life. If you want it back at any time, just take it."

Chen Xiao said, "I don't want your life. I just need you to remember what I said. Can you execute it?"

Dashan struggled for a moment, but meeting Chen Xiao's intensely serious expression, he also became serious. "I can! I'll listen to Brother Xiao. After midnight, whoever comes, I'll kill them! Even... even if it's Brother Xiao!"

Chen Xiao patted Dashan on the shoulder with satisfaction and let out a sigh of relief. He had been genuinely worried that this stubborn man wouldn't be able to grasp the task, which would have ruined everything. As for why Chen Xiao was doing this, it was naturally related to the blood moon tonight!

After finishing his instructions to Dashan, Chen Xiao went downstairs and left the warehouse. In his past life, there had indeed been news of new evolved humans appearing in the Southern City. He activated [Dragon Breath] to observe the tracks left by the warehouse trucks, then followed the tire marks to chase after the vanguard team.

Chen Xiao was certain that the "glimmer" Lu Xingji mentioned was an "opportunity for evolution"! He just hadn't expected this opportunity to appear so soon. But to unlock it and seize it? It would be as difficult as ascending to heaven!

"Hehehehe!"

"Hehehehehehe!"

Not long after leaving the warehouse, the frequency of new human encounters increased significantly. Chen Xiao did not bother to hide his strength; there was no need.

"Bang!"

Without the slightest obstruction, Chen Xiao cut through them like a hot knife through butter until he reached the foot of a mountain. This was where the vanguard trucks had stopped. However, there wasn't just one truck here, but three! This indicated that the situation on the mountain was complex; there might even be people from the Tianyi Warehouse here.

"Tuoluo Mountain?" Chen Xiao rubbed his chin and looked up at the sky.

In the pitch-black sky, a blood-red moon, already shedding its remaining light, hung high, casting an eerie and terrifying glow. Its color was incredibly vivid, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding darkness, as if it had risen from the depths of hell. The blood-red light illuminated everything, turning the otherwise peaceful night into something strange and horrific. Even the air was thick with an ominous aura that made it hard to breathe.

The spectacle of this blood moon was even more terrifying than the first one!

Chen Xiao glanced at his watch: 11:51.

This was not a good time; there were only nine minutes left. The blood moon was about to descend!

Chen Xiao didn't see anyone by the trucks. He guessed that those who had come looking for the glimmer had likely already gone up the mountain. He did not hesitate, pushing off the ground and flying toward the summit!

Chen Xiao's speed was immense, and he sprinted in an almost straight line toward the peak, taking every shortcut he could. Soon, his [Dragon Breath] detected a group not far ahead. As he approached, he confirmed it was indeed Jiang Yunhan and the others.

"Boss Jiang, it's too dark; he can't find the way."

"Sigh, we shouldn't have come out tonight. Looking at the sky, it looks a bit like that time..."

"I don't want to experience that kind of despair again. I almost..."

"Enough, shut up and wait for Boss Jiang's instructions."

Jiang Yunhan frowned; it was clear that things had exceeded his expectations. Yet, the more this was the case, the more he felt that the glimmer must be a great opportunity!

"We've come this far. What's the point of going back now?" Jiang Yunhan snapped. He couldn't allow any rifts to appear in his team at this moment!

Lu Xingji was also growing impatient. He added, "If anyone wants to quit, you can leave now, but once I return, you'll be kicked out of the warehouse base for good!"

With the two founders speaking, the others dared not object and fell silent. Just as they found a small path and were about to continue, a familiar sensation emerged!

"Hum—"

A roar, yet another roar!
