Lin Lang ignored Ye Jingjing.
He strode inside without hesitation.
He didn't forget to call out to Liu Lan: "Focus on leading the way! Stop talking to those with messed-up minds!"
Hearing Lin Lang call her mentally unstable, Ye Jingjing's expression instantly changed, and she instinctively wanted to retort!
But the moment she thought of Lin Lang's strength…
She ultimately didn't dare to utter a word! She could only glare resentfully at Liu Lan as she passed by!...
"Oh!"
Liu Lan hurriedly followed Lin Lang's footsteps.
But at this moment.
Her heart was filled with mixed emotions—
Lin Lang had won!
The brutal Butcher was dead! But the cost was the loss of many innocent lives! And the key was—
Why had she instinctively sided with Lin Lang at that time?
Why, deep down, did she trust Lin Lang? Clearly, he was just as ruthless as the Butcher, someone who killed without batting an eye! Yet, Lin Lang gave her a feeling.
That was different from others! This was a woman's intuition!
Moreover! Upon careful consideration.
Today's outcome was still the Butcher's own doing—
If he hadn't insisted on searching for that sacred artifact…
...
"This is the Butcher's private storeroom!"
Liu Lan led Lin Lang to a small bar deep inside the restaurant.
After much hesitation.
She couldn't help but say to Lin Lang: "Brother Lin Lang, Jingjing's words aren't entirely without merit!"
"The Butcher was evil, but the people outside are innocent!"
"You can take the treasures here!"
"But could you leave them some survival supplies…"
Lin Lang glanced at her indifferently: "What's your relationship with that Jingjing?"
Liu Lan lowered her eyes and sighed softly: "She's my student."
"Oh!"
Lin Lang no longer paid her any attention.
Nor did he answer her question.
In this cruel apocalypse, strength represented everything.
Whether to be a good person or a villain.
Depended entirely on Lin Lang's mood.
No one could interfere.
...
The lock at the bar's entrance.
Was as good as nonexistent to Lin Lang, as if it were made of tofu, shattered with a single slap.
Entering the bar.
Lin Lang immediately noticed that it stored an enormous amount of Superpower Fruit—
At least a hundred of them! Multicolored! Exuding a rich spiritual energy!
Lin Lang's eyes lit up.
He hurried over.
First, he walked up to a peculiarly shaped, colorful fruit, slightly surprised:
"This fruit is actually multicolored?"
He had never seen it before! But Liu Lan seemed to take it for granted.
She calmly explained: "This is the Limit Fruit! After eating it, no matter what Superpower you've awakened, you can forcibly break through one level!"
"Oh?"
Lin Lang was slightly surprised.
He hadn't expected! That such a "conceptual" level Superpower Fruit existed in the world! Moreover!
He was also curious—
Liu Lan actually recognized this fruit, had she eaten it before? But at this moment! He didn't ask further! He'd store this fruit in his space first!...
Liu Lan only saw!
With a sweep of Lin Lang's sleeve, that "Limit Fruit" disappeared into thin air!
She looked astonished: "Spatial ability? Just how many Superpowers have you awakened?"
She always felt—
The strength Lin Lang had shown so far might only be the tip of the iceberg of his full power! In any case! The Butcher's death was not unjust!...
But Lin Lang didn't respond.
Silence was also an attitude!
His current silence was saying:
"Prisoner, you've overstepped."
...
Besides this Limit Fruit.
There were an overwhelming number of Superpower Fruits here that Lin Lang didn't recognize—
Compared to the fruits he had seen before! Even if the overall colors were similar!
There were always subtle differences in the details!
...
Lin Lang couldn't help but marvel at this!
And no matter which one his gaze swept over! Liu Lan would introduce them like an NPC:
"That one grants teleportation!"
"That one enhances intelligence!"
"Super strength!"
"Shape-shifting!"
...
Lin Lang, like a bandit raiding a village, collected all the fruits into his space without missing a single one! But in his heart, he grew increasingly astonished—
How did Liu Lan recognize all these fruits? He finally couldn't hold back and asked:
"How do you know so much about these fruits? Have you eaten them all?"
Hearing this!
Liu Lan sighed, her expression tinged with melancholy: "Pretty much."
"These fruits, you could say, were all cultivated by me."
"What?!"
Lin Lang was instantly stunned! With his current knowledge! There was hardly anything in the world that could surprise him anymore!
But this!
Was truly an extraordinary tale—
Liu Lan, a mere mortal, could actually cultivate Superpower Fruits?...
He couldn't help but ask:
"How did you cultivate them?"
Liu Lan replied:
"You already know, my ability is to absorb life force."
Lin Lang nodded.
Liu Lan continued:
"But in reality, I can also infuse the life force I've absorbed into other living beings!"
"When a living being's life force reaches a certain level, it can undergo evolution!"
"These fruits evolved in this way."
...
Lin Lang nodded calmly.
But in his heart, he was still amazed: "Simply miraculous!"
Therefore!
When he looked at Liu Lan again, his gaze was no longer so simple:
"This woman is a treasure!"
Not a single mistake, not a single word, not a single detail was out of place in the content found at 69shuba!
"Keeping her by my side means I won't have to go around collecting Superpower Fruits anymore!"
...
Before long! Lin Lang had collected all the Superpower Fruits here into his space! Besides that!
In the bar's storage room! There were also piles of long-term storage foods.
Such as vacuum-packed meats, canned fruits, dry rations, nuts, and the like.
But these things.
Were not of much use to Lin Lang at the moment.
Because he wasn't lacking in food to begin with.
Even if some of them.
Were varieties missing from his space.
He only needed to take one sample.
And then have his women replicate it!
...
Lin Lang hardly touched the survival supplies.
Seeing this.
Liu Lan felt relieved, realizing she hadn't chosen the wrong side—
Lin Lang was indeed different from the Butcher! He hadn't driven them to their deaths!
These supplies!
Were enough to solve the immediate survival problems of those poor souls!...
After looting the Butcher's treasure trove.
Lin Lang walked back to the main hall.
At this moment.
Those people were still there, not daring to leave without permission.
They watched Lin Lang with anxious and uneasy expressions.
But Lin Lang said:
"If any of you want to cause trouble for me!"
"At least, raise your Combat Power to S-rank or higher before coming!"
"Otherwise, it's just too boring!"
Hearing this.
Everyone looked terrified!
Clearly, they had been completely awed by Lin Lang's overwhelming strength!
They all knelt and kowtowed!
Lin Lang had no interest in dealing with these people.
He was about to leave.
But then! The one-legged old man who had delivered the knife to the Butcher.
Hopped over.
Lin Lang leaped towards him! Then, he lowered his head and respectfully presented a knife to Lin Lang with both hands—
It was the Western-style kitchen knife that the butcher had just used!
"Oh?"
Lin Lang observed the knife with his Luck Vision!
He noticed a faint golden light shimmering on the blade.
It was actually a treasure!
"The butcher used this knife to kill too many people!"
"A part of his power has permanently remained within it!"
"That's why this knife is extremely sharp!"
"If used to cut a human body, the wound wouldn't even bleed!"
"Please accept it, great hero!"
The old man introduced it like an NPC.
"Hmm, alright."
Lin Lang accepted the knife and then tossed it into his storage space.
...
At that moment! The group actually carried out a naked woman and presented her to Lin Lang.
Lin Lang only took one glance! And he almost vomited—
Because the woman! Was pieced together from the bodies of many women by the butcher! Even his system couldn't detect her information: [???]
[Appearance:???]
[Combat Power:???]
[???]
An oval face! Big eyes! A high nose bridge! Enormous breasts!
A slender waist!
Extraordinarily long legs!
Each component was a masterpiece of humanity!
But when assembled together! It became an extremely grotesque, monstrous existence!
It was at this moment that Lin Lang truly realized the perversion of that butcher! Liu Lan, seeing Lin Lang's awkward state, gloated on the side:
"Little brother, this woman was the butcher's most cherished creation!"
"They are offering her to you now!"
"They are showing their loyalty to you!"
...
Lin Lang quickly refused.
He indicated that he couldn't possibly enjoy such a thing!
And then!
He fled the place as if running for his life.
...
At the entrance of the restaurant.
As Lin Lang was about to leave.
He told Liu Lan: "From now on, go live at the Jiangbei Villa. I'll come find you!"
"Huh?"
This time, it was Liu Lan's turn to be stunned!
