Chapter 217 Getting Rich Quick! Earning Ten Thousand Crystal Cores!
Jiazi Peak, the defense command post.
"Ammunition exhausted! Sector C's defenses have been breached! We can't hold on any longer!"
"Report! A massive landslide has occurred on the west side of the mountain; all three teams are out of contact!"
"Commander...should we...activate the Glory Procedure?"
A one-armed major stared intently at the horde of zombies on the screen, which had turned the map black, and with trembling hands reached for a red detonation button on the table.
Once pressed, the entire Jiazi Peak will turn into a cloud of fireworks, perishing along with the hundreds of thousands of floating corpses.
Just as he was about to press the button.
"Chirp—!"
A piercing sonic boom came from afar.
Immediately afterwards, two streaks of light, one gold and one red, like spears of divine punishment, tore through the dim sky and hovered above the horde of corpses.
"What...what is that?"
Inside the command center, everyone looked up in astonishment.
The tall, slender man didn't even glance at the soldiers fighting fiercely below; he merely gave a cold look at the horde of corpses that writhed like a black carpet.
He took a step forward, and his body fell like a meteorite.
"boom!"
There were no earth-shattering explosions.
Only an invisible, terrifying pressure originating from the very pinnacle of life spread out like ripples.
"Dragon's Might".
Two words, like a divine revelation.
"Splash! Splash! Splash!"
The next second, a scene that the tens of thousands of soldiers guarding Jiazi Peak would never forget appeared.
The floating corpses that had been climbing the mountainside and roaring as they charged forward suddenly seemed to have been turned off. Their eyes rolled back, foaming at the mouth, and they fell off the cliff like dumplings.
The horde of hundreds of thousands of zombies fell into an eerie silence within just three seconds.
Inside the command post, the one-armed major's finger froze above the red button, his jaw agape, wide enough to fit a fist.
"That's... all?"
A young communications soldier rubbed his eyes, staring at the red dots representing enemies that had vanished from the screen in an instant, and muttered to himself, "Just now... was it a deity passing by and sneezing?"
However, what happened next left them even more dumbfounded.
After clearing the area, the god-like man did not leave immediately. Instead, like a rat that had fallen into a rice granary, his figure transformed into golden afterimages as he frantically darted through the pile of corpses.
"Collect! Collect! Collect!"
Wherever he went, the massive, high-level floating corpses vanished into thin air.
The movements were so practiced it was heartbreaking.
In mid-air, Luo Tianfei crossed her arms and looked down at the figure busily working among the pile of corpses, her beautiful face filled with disgust.
She couldn't help but think to herself, "Was that giant bug a junk collector in its past life?"
The next two hours became a time for survivors from several nearby mountains to gather and observe.
They witnessed firsthand what it means for "when gods pass by, not a blade of grass grows."
Lu Sheng and Luo Tianfei's figures were like gods patrolling their territory; wherever they went, the horde of corpses vanished into thin air.
Oh no, not even ashes will be left.
Lu Sheng was always the first to rush down, and when he unleashed his dragon might, everyone in the audience fainted.
Then came his favorite part: the zero-yuan purchase segment.
On the system panel, the number of Spirit Source Crystal Cores jumped wildly, as if it were on a rocket.
[Ding! Refining successful! Obtained 1 Intermediate Spirit Source Crystal Cores!]
[Ding! Refining successful! Obtained 1 Intermediate Spirit Source Crystal Cores!]
……
[Ding! Refining successful! Obtained 1 High-Grade Spirit Source Crystal Cores!]
The primal thrill of watching the numbers soar made it harder for Lu Sheng to suppress the smile on his face than an AK could.
By the time the last horde of zombies was cleared, it was already broad daylight.
"Done, that's a wrap!" Lu Shengxin clapped his hands in satisfaction and leaped back to Luo Tianfei's side.
Seeing his expression, as if he had just received his year-end bonus, Luo Tianfei couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Why are you collecting those garbage corpses?"
Lu Sheng smiled faintly, then said seriously, "I have my reasons, you wouldn't understand. Let's go home!"
Before he finished speaking, a sonic boom cloud exploded beneath his feet, transforming into a golden beam that shot towards Mount Gongga.
"You bastard! Who wants to go home with you!"
Luo Tianfei blushed, stomped her foot, and transformed into a streak of fire to chase after it, still cursing under her breath.
Long after the two left, the commander of Jiazi Peak trembled as he picked up the communicator.
"Calling Gongga Mountain... Calling Gongga Mountain... Excuse me, who was that person who just passed by...?"
The old general's voice, weary yet proud, came through the communicator.
"That's our human commander-in-chief, Lu Sheng!"
When Lu Sheng and Luo Tianfei returned to Mount Gongga, the sun had already risen.
The battlefield on the north slope is no longer as fierce as it was yesterday.
Instead, there was a mountain of corpses made up of countless high-level floating corpses...
This mountain is tens of meters high and exudes a blood-red aura that seems to reach the sky.
Zhou Hai, Zhao Ze, and Su Li were directing the soldiers to carry the last batch of corpses up the mountain of bodies.
"Boss! You're back!"
Seeing Lu Sheng descend from the sky, Zhou Hai grinned and went to greet him.
However, Lu Sheng keenly noticed that the smiles of these three guys did not contain the joy of victory, but rather carried an undisguised heaviness and evasiveness.
Su Li kept her head down and remained silent.
However, Lu Sheng was currently immersed in the joy of the impending harvest and did not pay attention to these details for the time being.
He looked at the magnificent mountain of corpses before him and nodded in satisfaction.
"Well done."
He waved his hand dramatically, like a general inspecting troops.
"The furnace of all things, full power activated!"
Om-!
Within Lu Sheng's sea of consciousness, the phantom of an ancient and desolate bronze cauldron slowly emerged.
At the mouth of the cauldron, a golden vortex spun wildly, unleashing a terrifying suction force that could devour heaven and earth.
"Splash—"
The mountain of corpses, composed of hundreds of thousands of level 4 or higher bodies, was instantly sucked into the cauldron like sand swirled up by a tornado, leaving not a single drop of blood behind.
On Lu Sheng's system panel, data streams were frantically flooding the screen like a waterfall.
[Ding! Refining successful! Obtained 1254 Intermediate Spirit Source Crystal Cores!]
[Ding! Refining successful! Obtained 32 High-Grade Spirit Source Crystal Cores!]
……
One minute later, the melting process was complete.
The final statistics left Lu Sheng speechless.
[Overall takeaways:]
[Intermediate Spirit Source Crystal Cores: 79]
[Advanced Spirit Source Crystal Cores: 1.5]
[Top-tier Spirit Source Crystal Cores: 25]
Get rich!
This windfall is enough to propel his power to a new level!
They even armed the entire Gongga Mountain area to the teeth!
Lu Shengxin closed the panel with satisfaction and turned around to share his joy with his brothers.
But when he turned around, the smile on his face slowly froze.
Zhou Hai lowered his head, his burly body trembling slightly, his eyes red-rimmed, and he clutched a pair of glasses with a broken temple tightly in his hand.
Zhao Ze and Su Li stood behind him, one as silent as a mountain, the other her shoulders trembling as she silently shed tears.
The atmosphere was terribly oppressive.
