Returning to the convenience store, Shen Ling looked silently at the mess inside.
The supplies had long been taken, but Shen Ling was not angry. After picking up a bottle of mineral water from the ground, he twisted the cap off and drank it in one go.
There was no food left.
Although he could endure for a while, Xiao Hei had already leveled up.
Shen Ling did not want to starve, so after a moment of consideration, he walked out of the library.
Looking at the Giant Cocoon left by the Azure Bird, Shen Ling did not hesitate at all. He quietly bypassed it and headed towards the largest Living Supermarket on campus.
Along the way, catastrophe beasts occasionally passed by, but under Xiao Hei's presence, none dared to approach.
Upon arriving at the Living Supermarket, Shen Ling stared at the deep black floor and furrowed his brows tightly.
That was blood!
In his previous life, Shen Ling only knew that during the early stages of the disaster, the human population worldwide had decreased by 70%.
Although surprised, it was not as starkly vivid as this bloody reality.
However, as someone who had survived for seven years in the apocalypse, Shen Ling was naturally not intimidated by a bit of blood.
He kept moving forward, stepping on the black blood as he slowly advanced.
Xiao Hei's tail swept across, completely shattering the already broken glass door.
Hiss! Hiss!
Before even stepping inside, Shen Ling heard the commotion caused by the catastrophe beast.
Without any hesitation, Shen Ling strode into the supermarket.
A strong smell of blood assaulted his senses; the supermarket was already covered in a white net-like substance. At a glance, Shen Ling could see the culprit behind it all.
A black spider, nearly half a person’s height, with typical red patterns on its exterior, had its fangs bared, seemingly ready to attack at any moment.

Catastrophe Beast Name: Red Widow
Race: Indigenous Species - Zerg
Race Potential: Elite Level
Growth Level: Mid-Level Elite
Description: A native catastrophe beast from the disaster spirit realm, carrying potent venom, inherently aggressive, and skilled at ensnaring enemies with webs, making it extremely troublesome.
----
Shen Ling stared at the notoriously troublesome Red Widow, momentarily taken aback.
Although this Red Widow was only a Mid-Level Elite, within these webs, it possessed a domain skill that did not require activation.
If one were to consider it carefully, the current strength of the Red Widow surpassed that of the Bloodthirsty Werewolf.
However, since they had already arrived here, fleeing without a fight was definitely not Shen Ling's style. Although it was troublesome, Shen Ling had already made plans.
"Xiao Hei, go!"
"Use [Absolute Shadow Domain - Remnant]!"
As soon as Shen Ling's voice fell, before Xiao Hei's domain had fully unfolded, Shen Ling's aura surged once more.
[Fire Element Enhancement] was activated, and a flicker of fire rapidly spread from Shen Ling's palm, transforming into a fire serpent that instantly extended in all directions.
Spider silk was inherently flammable; as soon as Xiao Hei's domain began to expand, the flames had already consumed nearly half of the web in the area.
With the flames erupting, countless air currents rushed in from outside, further fueling the fire.
Roar! (Kill!)
[Shadow of Instant Kill] was activated, and Xiao Hei's form transformed into a dark streak of light, instantly appearing before Red Widow.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye; in less than three seconds, the spider web had been completely swept away, and Red Widow lay dead beneath Xiao Hei's claws.
"Well done!"
Shen Ling generously praised Xiao Hei.
At the same time, Shen Ling confirmed Xiao Hei's current strength through this battle. As long as they did not encounter a leader-level catastrophe beast, there should be no further danger for him.
After the flames subsided, the bloody smell in the supermarket slightly diminished. Taking this opportunity, Shen Ling first approached Red Widow's corpse.
【Soul Grazing Touch】 activated, comprehensive ability analysis.
Physique: 820 / Attack: 105 / Agility: 160 / Defense: 88 / Element: Poison Element 35 / Will: 65
Overall Combat Power: 96
Skills: Unlocked.
Talents: Unlocked.
Please select the ability to extract.
An unremarkable ability, with no highlights.
However, Shen Ling mainly wanted to see how 【Soul Grazing Touch】 would change after the promotion.
Therefore, Shen Ling chose to enhance agility and decisively activated 【Soul Grazing Touch】.
A faint suction arose, and soon the enhancement orb was fully formed, while Shen Ling felt that the energy consumption was only about ten percent.
This was undoubtedly a significant improvement.
Compared to before, Shen Ling's extraction efficiency had doubled, and the cooldown time was reduced to ten minutes.
There would no longer be a situation where a treasure mountain lay ahead, but one could only wait for half an hour in agony.
Without even looking at the condensed enhancement orb, Shen Ling tossed it directly to Xiao Hei.
Then Shen Ling began to gather food.
During this time, a beast's roar occasionally echoed from a distance.
Although puzzled, Shen Ling did not delve deeper and simply swept through the supermarket.
As she exited the supermarket, Xiao Hei was already behind her, pulling a small cart filled with Shen Ling's spoils.
The pair, one person and one beast, moved slowly through the quiet school.
As they approached the library, Shen Ling sensed something was off; a strong smell of blood wafted from that direction.
Before Shen Ling could think further,
Woof!
Xiao Hei leaped in front of Shen Ling as if driven mad.
Suddenly!
An invisible blade seemed to pierce through Xiao Hei's body, leaving a trail of blood in its wake.
Shen Ling immediately jumped back, narrowly avoiding the explosive attack that erupted from where she had just stood.
Though unsure of what exactly was causing the disturbance, Shen Ling keenly sensed the unmistakable intent to kill lurking nearby.
“Xiao Hei, behind you!”
Oof!
Xiao Hei, although bloodied, exuded an even greater ferocity. After a low growl, the 【Shadow Slice】 was unleashed!
A dim stream of light enveloped Xiao Hei's claws.
Xiao Hei crossed its claws and tore at the empty space behind it.
There was not a sound, as if merely slicing through the air, yet blood rained down from above.
Bang!
A heavy object hit the ground.
Shen Ling stared intently at the creature, which stood about half a person tall and resembled a lizard.

catastrophe beast Name: Shadow Beast
race: Secondary Species - Beastkin
race Potential: Elite Level
Growth Level: High-level Spirit Communicator
Description: A catastrophe beast that mutated due to the influence of the disaster spirit realm, originally resembling a chameleon, possessing optical camouflage abilities, and known as the jungle killer.
The name of the Shadow Beast was known to Shen Ling from his previous life, but this was the first time he encountered a living one.
The theory from his past life suggested that the appearance of Secondary Species would not occur until at least six months after the disaster; however, the Shadow Beast before him shattered that theory.
It was only the second day after the disaster, and Secondary Species were already appearing?
Was it an error in the previous theories?
Or had his rebirth changed something?
Shen Ling was completely at a loss, but a faint sense of foreboding had already settled in his heart.
At the same time, the smell of blood coming from the library seemed to grow stronger, and he could even vaguely hear cries for help.
Activating Soul Grazing Touch, he found that this Shadow Beast was far too weak; Shen Ling merely glanced at it and abandoned the idea of gathering potential.
He even dropped his food and quickly headed toward the library with Xiao Hei.
The closer he got, the more uneasy Shen Ling felt, as if something was about to happen.
Upon reaching the square, he suddenly stopped at the sight before him.
The Giant Cocoon of the Azure Bird had already split into several pieces, and within it, remnants could still be faintly seen.
Meanwhile, the entrance to the library was riddled with holes; it was unclear what had transpired.
The glass of the library shattered completely, as if it had experienced a fierce battle, and a strong smell of blood rushed out from within.
Accompanying this was a strange wave that Shen Ling sensed.
What is this?
A chill ran down Shen Ling's back, and a surge of fear arose.
The remaining rationality continuously sent commands to Shen Ling's brain.
Run!
Run!
Run!
This wave.
This is legendary level combat power!
Just as Shen Ling was still in shock, a scream echoed from inside the library.
Shen Ling instantly recognized it as Xue Xinlan's voice.
Should I run away? Or go in to see what’s happening?
Run!
"With Azure Mountain here, I need not fear running out of firewood!"
"Your rebirth is not meant for you to die in a place like this!"
"You must survive, seek revenge, and save your sister!"
Countless thoughts instantly drowned Shen Ling.
That's right, escaping is the only way.
"Brother, are you a hero?"
Shen Ling suddenly felt a chill in his chest; it was the marble his sister had given him. This was also what she had asked him back then.
Damn it!
Taking a deep breath, Shen Ling resolutely walked toward the library.
If I were to evade this little difficulty, if a mere Legendary Disaster Beast could stop me,
then what is the meaning of my rebirth?
Sister. Perhaps I am not a hero, but I will no longer choose to escape.
