Assassin Seven, starting in Shennong Kingdom!

Chapter 245 Post-Apocalyptic Wasteland

The advent of interstellar civilization consumed too many resources, causing lunar anomalies and sudden changes in gravity.

Then came a series of chain reactions. With the emergence of the Mana ecosystem, the ground vines gradually emerged from the ground, volcanoes erupted, continental plates began to change dramatically, and human civilization was almost completely destroyed!

The great catastrophe of ten years almost overnight destroyed human civilization that had lasted for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

The end is coming.

On a wasteland, there are ruins buried under yellow sand, decaying exoskeletons and human corpses, old-fashioned machines that are completely broken everywhere, and... Mana flowers that emit an eerie light in the wilderness.

A gust of wind blew by, and clouds of yellow sand swirled up from the ground.

Bai Yuekui, with silver hair, carried a child on his back in a basket and led a cow through the apocalypse.

"Moo~"

Just then, a roar of engines, accompanied by billowing yellow sand, swept in.

A convoy of cars pulled up nearby, and several people got out of the vehicles, all dressed in a post-apocalyptic style.

His expression was filled with savagery, bestiality, and greed...

"Jie Jie Jie..."

"Beautiful lady, are you alone? We'd be happy to oblige any request from a stunning beauty like you!"

Bai Yuekui remained expressionless as she looked at the people around her struggling to survive in the apocalypse. She understood that those who had survived to this day had basically lost their humanity and conscience.

Civilization collapsed, and humanity was reduced to beasts.

Wearing diving goggles, the mohawk-clad man continued when he saw she remained silent, "Don't be so cold, or are you worried that we guys can't satisfy you..."

Bang!

The next moment, Bai Yuekui slammed the hilt of his knife into Mohawk's chin, knocking out several of his teeth, and he collapsed to his knees in pain.

"Damn it! My teeth!!"

This sudden scene startled the others nearby, who quickly drew their weapons—old machetes, iron bars…

He stared at Bai Yuekui, his expression tense.

Awakened One!

Having survived the apocalypse to this day, they naturally know many things about the old world, such as humans who unlocked their genetic potential with the drugs from the "Nirvana" biotechnology company.

They are also known as "new humans" or "evolved humans".

They possess strength far exceeding that of ordinary humans.

"Stop it all."

Just then, an old voice rang out. An old woman with a full head of white hair and a body that had shrunk due to old age stood in the crowd and said to Bai Yuekui, "I'm sorry, little girl, did I scare you just now? Don't be fooled by the fierce looks of these children, don't worry, we are not bad people."

As she spoke, she walked past Bai Yuekui, leaning on an extremely long cane, and went to the cow. "We come from the Kansang Plains on the border. We fled here and formed this caravan in the apocalypse to survive and protect ourselves. Girl, your cow is really beautiful. It must produce plenty of milk. Although I am old, my eyesight is still good."

The implication was that they wanted the cow, but had no intention of discussing it with Bai Yuekui.

"If you ask me, sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone..."

"..."

Bai Yuekui didn't speak, but only glanced at the Mana Flower not far away. These people posed no threat to her, but the Mana Flower was very dangerous.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the old woman said, "Since you're not going to speak, I'll take that as a yes. Children, come here."

"Here I am, Mom!"

The mohawk that had been knocked to the ground immediately ran over with a large iron bucket and began milking the cows.

The fresh milk left the people around, who hadn't seen clean food in years, staring longingly but without any reaction.

The mohawk's movements were somewhat rough, seemingly making the cow uncomfortable, as it lifted its hind hoof and kicked it away.

"Hahahaha! That idiot Arthur can't even handle a cow!"

"Exactly! If you ask me, with that small frame, he thinks he can get women? Forget it!"

His companions around him burst into mocking laughter.

In the chaos, a red-haired, sallow-faced, thin boy quietly ran to the milking barrel, picked it up, and began to drink it voraciously.

boom!

Suddenly, the old woman in the lead raised her hand and shot him through the cheek. Blood mixed with milk gushed out, and he collapsed to the ground in agony.

"What did I tell you before, Mom..."

The emaciated boy struggled in agony, wailing, "It hurts! Help me! I'm sorry, Mom, I... I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong!"

The old woman walked to the side and said slowly, "Young people, you may not know the rules, but disrespecting the elderly... is absolutely unacceptable."

The next moment, the old woman stomped on the boy's head, causing it to explode like a burst watermelon.

The people around were silent, clearly not because they respected the elderly and cared for the young, but because the old man, who was already half-buried, could make these people obey.

"Mommy, please drink milk."

The young man beside the old woman poured milk into a cup and respectfully presented it to her.

Snapped……

Bai Yuekui watched this scene calmly, without interfering from beginning to end. He lit a cigarette, took a puff, exhaled, and asked, "Is it that good?"

The old woman wiped her mouth and said, "Of course, in this apocalypse, water is scarce, let alone a glass of fresh milk. But, I have these filial and good children, and life is quite enjoyable. Young lady, why don't you join our warm family..."

"No, you're too ugly."

Bai Yuekui calmly refused.

"Damn it! What did I say? Don't push your luck!"

One of them was about to make trouble, but the old woman stopped him. She squinted and said, "Think about it carefully. To be able to live this long unscathed, you must be no ordinary person, girl. How about this, we make a deal. I'll let you go, but you have to leave something behind."

Bai Yuekui thought she wanted the cow and said, "You might have the life to take this cow, but not the life to enjoy it."

She was traveling through the apocalypse with a child, and without this cow, how could she possibly survive? Naturally, she couldn't back down.

The old woman revealed a sinister expression and said, "Girl, you've misunderstood. I'm determined to have the cow, but speaking of which, my children haven't had any meat in a long time. I, as their mother, would like to have a treat for that little one behind you."

The wind whipped up yellow sand, obscuring the view.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, one of the people in the convoy vanished from the spot. Bai Yuekui's gaze changed slightly, and the child in the basket on his back had disappeared.

She was grabbed by someone behind the old woman.

As expected, he is also an enlightened practitioner...

"Giggle~"

The old woman sniffed it with a look of delight and said, "Ah, it smells so good."

The child wasn't afraid; he just giggled when he was held in Bai Yuekui's hand. Seeing this, Bai Yuekui suddenly smiled.

"why are you laughing?"

He casually tossed aside the basket on his back, walked forward, and said, "I didn't expect to meet like-minded people here. Speaking of which, I haven't had any meat in a long time. Although your offal is a bit rough, it's still bearable."

"What!?"

The group took a few steps back. In the apocalypse, resources were scarce, and cannibalism was not uncommon in order to survive.
