Chapter 2 - The Arrival of the Punishment Saint

The woman looked at Lu Yin helplessly. "Actually, all you have to do is ask, and I'll help you. I also have people who support me.

"No," Lu Yin said lightly.

The woman sighed. "Okay, keep in touch. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye out for you. Goodbye," she smiled at Lu Yin, and then turned to leave, leaving a trace of fragrance behind.

Lu Yin closed his eyes again, and the arrival of the woman had no effect on him.

Later that night, the beautiful woman returned. Looking at Lu Yin, she smiled and said, "Congratulations, the trouble is over."

Lu Yin looked at her suspiciously.

The woman said, "I asked my brother to take action. Zhang Tong has been arrested. He wants you to discuss how to deal with them.

Lu Yin's eyes flickered and he stood up. "Let's go."

The woman smiled and led the way, through the flames to reach a distance of about 300 meters from the group. Although the place is still unsafe, it is not too far away.

When Lu Yin arrived, the evolutionary Zhang Tong, who had bullied several women, and more than a dozen of his subordinates were all kneeling on the ground. In front of them stood a tall man with his hands behind his back.

"Big brother, Lu Yin is here," the beauty walked up to the man and said softly.

The man turned around and looked at Lu Yin with a smile. "You must be Lu Yin, right?"

Lu Yin nodded.

"My name is Liu Sheng, and I am one of the captains of this team," the man said, raising his head slightly and looking at Lu Yin with a hint of pride.

Lu Yin replied casually, "I know."

Liu Sheng frowned; He didn't like Lu Yin's attitude. "How are you going to deal with these people? I'll leave it to you.

Lu Yin looked at Liu Sheng. "Condition."

Liu Sheng smiled smugly and stared at Lu Yin. "Let's be clear. I've heard of you and I've observed you. You may not have absorbed the energy crystals of the mutant beast yet, but you are still quite powerful. Can you tell me why?

Beside them, the beautiful woman looked at Lu Yin expectantly, and even Zhang Tong and other evolutionaries who were kneeling on the ground were staring at him.

Lu Yin smiled faintly. "Is that why you brought me here?"

Liu Sheng smiled faintly and glanced at the beauty.

The woman took a few steps forward, walked to Lu Yin's side, blew at him, and said in a coquettish voice: "Brother Lu, tell us, okay?" Is this another evolutionary path? If you tell us, you are telling all of humanity that humanity will appreciate you. And I'm ... I can accompany you," she said, leaning over to Lu Yin.

Lu Yin turned his head to look at the beauty. "I told you, if there was any other time, you would be dead." As soon as she finished speaking, the iron rod flashed, and the beautiful woman put her arms around her neck, and blood flowed from her fingers, staining her clothes. She fell to the ground in disbelief. She didn't take Lu Yin's words seriously, she never expected that he would actually kill her in front of Liu Sheng. Liu Sheng is one of the leaders, a human-level powerhouse!

Liu Sheng was also stunned. He didn't expect Lu Yin to be so bold.

Lu Yin flicked the iron rod. "You're so annoying. You've been watching me from the moment this team was formed. Tonight, it's all over. As he spoke, he rushed towards Liu Sheng and swung the iron rod at his head.

Liu Sheng was furious. "You're looking for death," he said, drawing a long knife from his waist. He slashed, blocking the iron rod. In his opinion, this blow would not only block Lu Yin's attack, but should also seriously injure him. However, the reality was quite different from what he had expected. His long knife split in half, and the iron rod left a deep bone crack in his right shoulder.

This scene made Liu Sheng unbelievable. He is a human-level powerhouse, strong enough to engage in one-on-one combat with many ordinary evolutionaries. How could he lose to Lu Yin in one move? How is this possible?

Lu Yin slashed at Liu Sheng and injured him, but he didn't stop. He swings the iron rod horizontally.

Liu Sheng hurriedly dodged, rolled with the handle of the knife, and threw it towards Lu Yin. Lu Yin swung his stick and knocked the hilt of his sword to the side. The force of the blow sends out a shock wave that cuts through the ground, leaving a small crack.

"Why are you standing there? All of you, attack together! Kill him! Liu Sheng roared angrily and glared at Zhang Tong and the others.

Zhang Tong and the others did not hesitate. They drew their weapons and rushed towards Lu Yin.

Lu Yin's gaze was cold and sharp. He flipped the iron rod and his legs suddenly exerted force, and a visible shockwave blasted the ground apart. His body jumped over a distance of more than ten meters, and the iron rod slashed horizontally. In an instant, Zhang Tong and the others looked down at their chests, blood dripping from the wounds. Soon, they lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground, dead.

At this moment, Lu Yin's heart was as hard as iron. This is the worst of times, there are no constraints, but it is also the best of times - evil people can be completely eradicated.

Liu Sheng stared blankly at Lu Yin. "How is this possible? You... You... You're an earth-level powerhouse, you must be! It is impossible for a human-level evolutionary to be so powerful.

Lu Yin's gaze was cold.

Liu Sheng trembled and immediately knelt down. "Lu Yin, no, Lu Shao, spare me, please spare me. I can be your dog, I can kill for you, I can find women for you. I can do whatever I want.

Lu Yin raised his head and stared at the starry sky.

Liu Sheng's gaze was fierce, and he suddenly pulled out a knife from his chest and stabbed it towards Lu Yin. The blade successfully pierced Lu Yin, but the Lu Yin in front of him slowly faded; The one he had just stabbed was only an afterimage.

Liu Sheng's pupils contracted, staring at the scene in disbelief. What is it?

"This is called the stealth step, a combat technique that originated in ... Starry sky," Lu Yin said lightly. He waved the iron rod, and Liu Sheng's head fell off, and his body collapsed to the ground, dead.

Lu Yin sighed, put away the iron rod, and continued to stare at the starry sky.

Soon, Lu Yin took the energy crystals from Liu Sheng and the others. He brought his hand closer to the ring, and suddenly, the energy crystals vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.

This is the Ningkong Ring, a precious ring that can store your belongings. Like the Combat Skill, it also comes from the starry sky.

The disappearance of Zhang Tong and others went unnoticed, but Liu Sheng was different. As a team leader, his sudden disappearance attracted the attention of several other leaders.

However, because Liu Sheng deliberately concealed his whereabouts in an attempt to seize Lu Yin's evolution method, no one came to trouble Lu Yin. In the end, it was Liu Sheng's own fault.

At noon the next day, thousands of people in the team looked out into the distant sky. Just moments ago, they received news that the punishment of the saint Zhou Shan was imminent.

Soon, a black dot appeared in front of everyone. Then, high in the sky, a man appeared. He is tall, muscular, more than two meters tall and has short hair. He was holding a huge mountain-splitting axe in his hand, which was more than three meters long. He stood in the sky, exuding an overwhelming domineering aura.

Everyone watched the scene blankly. Can humans really fly? Is this what a heaven-level powerhouse looks like? One of the Seven Sages of China.

With a loud roar, Zhou Shan didn't say a word, raised his hand and pressed down. A shock wave swept through the dust and blew so violently that tens of thousands of people couldn't even open their eyes.

All the evolutionaries were staring feverishly ahead. This is a heaven-level powerhouse, a force that can destroy mountains and rivers.

Huge vines twisted and swirled out from the ground, violently sweeping towards Zhou Mountain.

Zhou Shan grunted, and his voice exploded in everyone's ears. Then, he raised his great axe aloft, and a ripple in the air behind him faintly turned into transparent wings. "Storm Slash!" He shouted, his body spinning, descending with his great axe, slashing at the vines.

An earth-shattering explosion rang out. On the ground, huge cracks spread in all directions, and dust flew up. The energy wave was surging outward, and if it weren't for the evolutionary leader standing in the way, the energy wave alone would have caused huge casualties among the survivors.

Lu Yin's eyes kept staring ahead. Yesterday, they had speculated that these vines had earth-level power, but in fact, only he could sense that these vines were undoubtedly heaven-level power. This is also the reason why Zhou Shan tried his best.

After the wind blew and the dust settled, what appeared in front of everyone's eyes was Zhou Shan's majestic figure, holding a giant axe, and the vines had been completely crushed. The ground is now a huge pit, filled with green liquid.

Tens of thousands of people looked up at Zhou Shan in reverence and cheered loudly.

Zhou Shan carried a huge axe on his shoulder, rose into the air, and shouted: "Let's go, return to Jinling." It's safe there.

"Thank you, Punishment Saint."

"Long live the Torture Saint!"

"Punish the saint!"

...

Tens of thousands of people chanted Zhou Shan's name. In this apocalyptic era, heroes are urgently needed, and Zhou Shan is a hero, one of the Seven Sages, a true hero.

Lu Yin held the iron rod tightly. His strength was far from reaching the heavens. Just like Liu Sheng said, he didn't absorb any energy crystals. He is on a different evolutionary path, the true path of evolution from the stars. Thinking of this, Lu Yin raised his head. "It should be soon, it should be soon."

Under the protection of Zhou Shan, the convoy drove smoothly. There must be creatures in this world that are far stronger than Zhou, but such creatures are extremely rare, and it is almost impossible to meet them.

A day later, tens of thousands of survivors arrived in Jinling. It was only at this moment that many people finally let go of their burdens and cried loudly.

Jinling is under martial law and is surrounded by huge earthen walls. Rows of evolutionists stood silently on the wall, watching the survivors walk in. Their gaze was sad. The convoy has lost at least a tenth of its men from the time it set off to the present. They have come out of despair.

Lu Yin visited Jinling in peacetime. At that time, the city was picturesque, and the streets were lined with ancient trees. Now, however, Jinling has shrunk significantly. The outskirts have been abandoned, and countless wandering zombies fill the outer city. If it weren't for Zhou Shan clearing the way, they would only be able to reach the Jinling gathering point after a bloody battle.

Survivors will be arranged in one group, while Evolvers will be arranged in another.

This fleet has more than 500 evolutionaries. Compared to tens of thousands of survivors, this means that each evolutionary protected nearly a hundred people, a very rare ratio that indirectly proves how difficult it is to kill mutated creatures.

Unfortunately, there are no energy crystals inside the zombies, otherwise the number of evolutionaries would definitely be much higher.

The "Punishment Camp" is an organization founded and managed by the punishment saint Zhou Shan to supervise the evolutionaries. All evolutionaries at the Jinling Gathering Point, whether they opt-in or not, must sign up for a strength and health test at the Punishment Camp. Lu Yin and others were taken to the torture camp.

The so-called "torture camp" is not just a camp, but a huge facility that occupies Zhongshan in Jinling. Legend has it that when Jinling was first founded, zombies and mutated beasts were rampant. It took Zhou Shan and all the evolutionaries a whole month to conquer Zhongshan, partly because Zhongshan used to be a tourist area in Jinling, so there weren't too many wild mutant beasts.

Centered in Zhongshan, the punishment camp gradually helped the survivors control the Jinling settlement, eventually becoming one of the largest survivor settlements in East China.

The Zhongshan Torture Camp is solemn and magnificent. The surrounding evolutionaries looked enviously at the punishment battalion soldiers in uniform uniforms. They all hope to join and serve there one day.

"It's only been half a year, and the Torture Saint has already established such a huge organization. It's unbelievable," one person commented with admiration.

Immediately, someone beside him chimed in: "When the end comes, many people are still hiding, but the punishment saint has already established a punishment camp. In the future, he will dominate China.

As soon as these words were spoken, many others chimed in.

Lu Yin walked among the evolutionaries, looking at the occasional evolutionary soldiers. His eyes flickered. These soldiers are real soldiers.

Theoretically, during the apocalypse, no matter how charismatic a person is, it is impossible to build such an organization. Zhou Shan, in particular, should not have done this. But the camp still exists for only one reason: the people here are real soldiers, and Zhou Shan represents the country.

China did not collapse because of the end of the world; It just stabilizes in a different way. Zhou Shan is a soldier, and it is even possible that the Seven Saints are all, otherwise, it is impossible to reach the heavenly level in just half a year.

I'm not sure we should breathe a sigh of relief that the end of the world didn't lead to a complete breakdown of communications. If this is the case, even the country will not be able to stabilize the situation in such a short time.
