00:00one simple instruction.
00:01Hide the cards.
00:01Get ready to welcome some guests.
00:03The six of them had already spotted
00:04the sturdy little RV.
00:05Excitement flashing in their eyes.
00:07Open up.
00:08Please help us.
00:08I had Lin Wanner open the door.
00:10The moment all six of them stumbled inside.
00:12Gasping for air,
00:13I floored the gas pedal.
00:14The RV plowed forward like a bulldozer,
00:16sending a dozen nearby blood corpses flying.
00:18Carving a path clean through,
00:20and we sped off in the opposite direction.
00:21Wong Fung celebrated surviving
00:23by the skin of his teeth.
00:24Then he looked around the interior of the RV,
00:26caught a glimpse of the flustered Lin Wanner,
00:28and suddenly did a double take.
00:29Wait, you're Lin Wanner.
00:30Lin Wanner froze for a moment.
00:32Didn't expect to run into a living celebrity.
00:34Her cards gotta be gold tier at minimum.
00:35Nice.
00:36He turned back to me.
00:37Thanks for saving us.
00:38But since you're already going the extra mile,
00:39why not just hand over this RV too?
00:41It's wasted on you anyway,
00:42Lin Wanner fumed.
00:43How can you be so ungrateful?
00:44Wong Fung let out a dismissive laugh.
00:46It's the apocalypse.
00:47Talking about gratitude?
00:49Grow up, kid.
00:49We'll let you off easy since you saved our lives.
00:51Now get out that I grinned.
00:52Everything's going exactly as planned.
00:54You're actually not a bad person.
00:55Wong Fung blinked.
00:56What did you just say?
00:57Before he could finish,
00:58a military pen was already pressed against his pressure point,
01:01dropping him instantly.
01:02Wong Fung's eyes went wide,
01:03then his body gave out,
01:04and he crumpled to the floor.
01:05In one smooth motion,
01:07I snatched the handgun from his hand,
01:08flicked off the safety,
01:09and held it up as a deterrent.
01:11The entire vehicle went dead silent.
01:13I drove the RV back to our original position.
01:15What greeted us was a sea of blood corpses,
01:17easily a thousand of them that I let out a sigh.
01:19Time to bleed the budget again.
01:21With that many corpses,
01:22there was no way to clear them out with weapons alone,
01:24not without a team of dozens.
01:25So I used the drone to douse the horde in gasoline,
01:28then airdropped RSP bottles right in the middle of them.
01:30The moment the RSP detonated,
01:32the ground below turned into a sea of fire.
01:34A thousand blood corpses were incinerated in an instant.
01:36Then I hauled the bodies out of the RV one by one
01:39and lined them up beside the blood core.
01:41Almost immediately,
01:42tentacles burst up from the ground
01:43and latched onto the six corpses and a severed head.
01:46Those were the blood core's roots.
01:48It absorbed human flesh and blood
01:49to fuel its evolution or spawn new creatures.
01:52After draining all six bodies,
01:54the massive blood core suddenly shuddered.
01:55An indescribable, eerie energy began radiating from within.
01:58It's evolving.
01:59I was jumping with excitement on the inside,
02:01but my face stayed completely calm.
02:03Lynn Wanner asked curiously,
02:04won't it be even stronger after evolves?
02:06I shook my head.
02:07An evolved blood core black core is absolutely stronger.
02:10Right now,
02:10no individual has the ability to go one-on-one with a black core.
02:14But during the evolution process,
02:15the blood core channels all of its energy into its core
02:18to complete the transformation.
02:19In other words,
02:20right now is when it's at its most vulnerable.
02:22Its defense is barely higher than a regular blood core.
02:24This is the best window to kill it
02:26that I grab my blade and walk straight toward the blood core.
02:28The black blade sliced through the outer shell with ease.
02:31The interior was fully exposed,
02:33hundreds of cocoon-like structures arranged irregularly
02:35from top to bottom.
02:36I stepped inside and quickly found it deep within a heart,
02:38suspended in midair,
02:39slowly changing color.
02:40The moment it turned completely black,
02:42I swung my blade and cut the black core clean off.
02:44Then I turned and sprinted back to the RV
02:45without looking back.
02:46Inside,
02:47Lynn Wanner's face was full of curiosity.
02:49So that's a black core?
02:49I nodded and sat on the dining table,
02:51taking a deep breath,
02:52still warm,
02:52the most precious resource in the early apocalypse.
02:54With one strike of my blade,
02:55the black core crumbled into ash and vanished,
02:57and in its place appeared a stack of cards.
02:59Over a second,
