Apocalypse Arrival - Chapter 57

Gan Xiaodan took out a knife from the bag and handed it to Chu Qianxun, “He asked me to give this to you, saying it’s an apology to you.”

The knife was a modified sharp limb of a demon, and the handle and scabbard were carefully crafted from cowhide.

This was a great gift compared to ordinary weapons that broke at every turn.

Chu Qianxun frowned.

Gao Yan opened the door at that moment. Her hair was wet, and she had obviously just taken a shower.

“Oh, why did Qianxun get hurt?” Gao Yan pulled Chu Qianxun into the room, pressed her on the chair, and pulled out the medicine box to clean the wound on Chu Qianxun’s head.

“My power is too bad. It doesn’t work after I use it a few times a day. Qianxun, when you told me to use it every day, I went to the shed built by the Holy Angel today to help. I completely used all of it and sweated a lot. This time, I can’t help you even if you are injured.”

“It’s okay, I am an ability holder, and I have very good healing ability. This little injury will quickly heal.”

Gao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and still carefully applied the medicine for her. She remembered hearing the conversation between Gan Xiaodan and Chu Qianxun at the door just now.

“Xiaodan, don’t pay attention to those people. Chen Wei and Peng Haoyu are not good people. What they value is Qianxun’s ability. They want to win Qianxun through us. You have to be alert, don’t give trouble to Qianxun,” Gao Yan said.

Gan Xiaodan pursed her lips but said nothing.

Chu Qianxun knew that Gan Xiaodan wouldn’t listen to Gao Yan’s words.

She did not want to interfere with anyone excessively. Everyone was an independent individual.

Each person’s choice was their own, and of course they had to bear the corresponding price for their choice.

But she also understood that an ordinary girl like Gan Xiaodan when encountering troubled times without any ability to protect herself would be panicked and overwhelmed, and she would expect to rely on others.

“Xiaodan, when He Mingyan followed Xie Xiaobin from the dormitory, I persuaded her once, but she did not listen to me. Now, I hope I can persuade you.” Chu Qianxun looked at Gan Xiaodan and said seriously, “Those people are not reliable. You can only rely on yourself. Although you have no ability, there are repair works on the fence, and the hospital also has nurses. You can try these places.”

Gan Xiaodan’s eyes got red. She opened her mouth, trying to explain something, but in the end she didn’t say anything.

She just nodded and whispered, “Qianxun, you are right, I will listen to you.”

“Xiaodan, we will work together at the rescue center tomorrow, where they give out a little food.” Gao Yan patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, “I heard that demons called the desecrators have appeared. They are different from other demons, and they even set up traps to capture humans back to their lairs. There are many saints— Holy Angels call people with superpowers saints, and many saints were caught by those demons. The team that tried to destroy their lair to save people did not succeed, but instead lost more people. The base has recently had a lot of wounded.”

Chu Qianxun had also heard the news. The base was discussing organizing a team to destroy the desecrators’ lair, but she did not intend to participate.

The desecrators’ offensive and defensive ability was not strong, but they were the trickiest kind of low-level demons.

This kind of demon had a certain degree of wisdom. They gathered in groups, captured human beings and imprisoned them deep in the nest as their food.

They also set up various traps in the lair to attract other humans to come and rescue their companions one after another.

Even those very skilled and powerful saints in later generations would not touch the desecrators’ lair.

A low voice came at the door, “Chen Wei asked me to go to destroy the desecrators’ lair tomorrow. Ah Wei in his team was taken away by a desecrator.”

Ye Peitian stood outside the door and did not come in, “I promised him to help. I’ll leave early tomorrow morning.”

“You? Going to save people?” Chu Qianxun was taken aback. 

Chen Wei sat on the bumper of an off-road vehicle in the parking lot with a solemn expression.

The previous day, he was caught in the desecrators’ trap. His only brother, Ah Wei, who had an ability, was dragged into the lair by those cunning demons.

After he escaped back to the base, he invited several masters who he had cooperated with before and planned to go again.

He knew in his heart that Ah Wei might not be saved, but he was just trying his luck.

Many of his brothers were lost there, and he at least needed to get those demons’ crystal cores.

A big man with a burly figure and a broad face came to him.

Chen Wei was overjoyed, jumped down to the ground to hold his hand tightly, and greeted, “Ah Rong, it’s great that you can come.”

“Haha, brother Wei, what kind of powerful demon is it that needs you, me and Lao Jin to act together?”

The visitor shook hands with Chen Wei, and greeted a thin middle-aged man next to him.

Chen Wei frowned, “Desecrators are not particularly powerful, but these demons are too smart, just like a human being. Moreover, it’s difficult to deal with two of them, even Ah Wei was captured.”

“There are two? That’s great! Two crystal cores!” The big man named Ah Rong slapped his thigh and became excited, “Let’s go quickly. Don’t let others get on the ground first.”

“Wait a minute, there is another brother who hasn’t come,” Chen Wei said.

“Who else?” Ah Rong was a little unhappy, “If it’s the kind of rookie who doesn’t work well, I won’t agree to divide the crystal cores with him.”

“He came,” Chen Wei put on a smile and greeted him personally.
