38: Chapter 38 Why don't you just ask me?! What am I supposed to say if you don't ask me?!

On this day, Lin Yuan planned to go out alone to scavenge for supplies.

It was mainly because the three women were in no condition to go out after being exhausted by his heaven-defying physique. For once, Lin Yuan generously didn't make them go out, only instructing them to lock the doors and stay careful.

"I'm heading out and will be back tonight."

Lin Yuan said indifferently.

The three women nodded obediently.

Ye Qingyue said with some worry: "Brother Lin Yuan, be careful..."

"Don't worry."

Lin Yuan stroked her head and turned to leave the villa.

...

The outside world was still deathly silent.

White snow covered everything, and the temperature had dropped to minus thirty degrees.

Lin Yuan was wearing a thin jacket, walking in the ruins, not feeling cold at all.

His physique of 330 had already made his body far exceed the limits of humanity.

This low temperature was like a spring breeze on his face to him.

He walked while observing his surroundings.

He passed by a few shops, but they had already been scavenged clean by other survivors.

There were bloodstains everywhere on the ground, along with some remains of corpses.

Lin Yuan continued forward expressionlessly.

On the way.

While scavenging for supplies in a ruin, he found something strange beside a pile of Evolved Beast remains.

A seven-colored snowflake, crystal clear and glowing with seven-colored light, that wouldn't melt even at room temperature!

Curiosity flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.

He carefully picked up the seven-colored snowflake and observed it closely.

This thing was clearly not an ordinary snowflake...

The seven-colored light, the property of not melting, and the faint energy fluctuations it emitted...

"What is this?"

Lin Yuan put the seven-colored snowflake into a sealed bag, planning to study it when he returned.

He thought to himself: In this Apocalypse, such a strange thing appearing must have a special purpose.

He would study it slowly later.

Just as Lin Yuan was about to leave.

"Boom!"

A ball of flame suddenly blasted from behind the ruins!

Lin Yuan dodged instantly and looked coldly at the source of the attack.

A man about thirty years old, his hands flaming, stared greedily at the sealed bag in Lin Yuan's hand.

Lin Yuan's eyes turned cold: "What is this? An Ability User?"

The man sneered without answering, instead launching an attack directly.

Several fireballs whistled towards him in succession!

This man was named Zhao Meng, and he thought to himself: So much nonsense! If I kill you, the seven-colored snowflake will be mine! How could I possibly tell you the function of such a treasure!

Zhao Meng fired several fireballs in succession.

But Lin Yuan's speed was too fast, and he easily dodged all the attacks.

"How is this possible?! How can a normal person be this fast?!" Zhao Meng was shocked.

Lin Yuan sneered.

He appeared in front of him instantly and threw a punch!

So what if he was an Ability User? He was no longer what he used to be!

"Bang!"

Zhao Meng was blasted more than ten meters away, broke through a wall, and spat out blood.

He looked at Lin Yuan in horror: "You... your strength... are you also an Ability User?!"

Lin Yuan walked up to him and stepped on his chest: "No, my physique is just stronger than yours."

Then.

"Slap!"

Lin Yuan slapped Zhao Meng across the face.

"Are you going to talk!"

Zhao Meng was confused: Talk about what?

Before he could react—

"Slap!" Another slap.

"Are you going to talk!"

"Slap!"

"Are you going to talk!"

"Slap!"

"Are you going to talk!"

Lin Yuan slapped him more than a dozen times, his own hand aching, and every blow left Zhao Meng dizzy.

Zhao Meng was beaten until his face was covered in blood, his heart breaking down: What on earth does this guy want me to say?!

But Lin Yuan didn't ask any questions, just kept repeating: "Are you going to talk! Are you going to talk!"

Zhao Meng wanted to speak.

But he didn't know what to say, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

Lin Yuan looked at Zhao Meng, who still wouldn't speak, a glimmer of appreciation flashing in his eyes: This guy actually has some backbone.

He stopped, and said coldly: "Very good, you have backbone. It's a pity you're a man; it seems ordinary methods are ineffective on you."

Lin Yuan raised his foot, aiming at Zhao Meng's crotch, preparing to use more ruthless methods.

Zhao Meng finally broke down!

"Big Brother! Big Brother!!"

He screamed hoarsely, "You should have asked! If you don't ask, what am I supposed to say?! You keep saying 'talk, talk', what the hell am I supposed to say?!"

Lin Yuan was stunned.

Holy shit!!!

He had been so busy beating him up that he forgot to ask the question.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but show a rare expression of embarrassment.

He withdrew his fist, though embarrassed.

But Lin Yuan wanted to know the function of the seven-colored snowflake more, so he said coldly: "Then speak now. What is the function of that seven-colored snowflake?"

Zhao Meng felt like crying but had no tears, his whole face swollen like a pig's head, and he said vaguely: "I'll talk... I'll tell you everything..."

Zhao Meng endured the severe pain and began to confess:

"The seven-colored snowflake... is the key to awakening a Superpower!"

"Put the seven-colored snowflake and a demon core from an E-rank or higher Evolved Beast together, and they will fuse into an energy ball."

"Swallow it, and you can awaken a Superpower! The higher the level of the demon core, the stronger the awakened Superpower!"

"I... I used a seven-colored snowflake and a demon core to awaken a fire Superpower..."

Lin Yuan continued to press: "Anything else? Does the seven-colored snowflake have other uses?"

Zhao Meng said tremblingly: "Yes! If you have already awakened a Superpower, continuing to swallow the energy balls will continuously increase your Superpower level!"

"And... the seven-colored snowflake and Evolved Beast meat can be eaten together to significantly improve your physique! It's more than ten times stronger than eating Evolved Beast meat alone!"

This was also something he had figured out after ten days.

Originally, this information was extremely important.

But Zhao Meng didn't expect to provoke a pervert like Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed: "That important?"

He continued to ask: "Where can the seven-colored snowflake be found?"

Zhao Meng smiled bitterly: "It's too hard to find! I searched for half a month before I found one outside an Evolved Beast nest to use for awakening my Superpower! This thing is extremely rare and seems to appear randomly."

Thought flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.

So that's it... No wonder this Ability User would risk attacking him.

To an Ability User, the seven-colored snowflake is a key resource for upgrading and is also a scarce item.

Seeing Lin Yuan lost in thought, Zhao Meng thought there was hope and hurriedly said: "I... I've told you everything! You promised to let me live! Please!"

Lin Yuan pulled back his thoughts and looked at him, suddenly sneering: "I lied to you."

"Whether you talk or not, you have to die."

Zhao Meng's face changed drastically: "You...!"

Lin Yuan threw a punch!

"Bang!"

Zhao Meng's head exploded, and his body fell to the ground.

Lin Yuan wiped the blood off his hands coldly: "The price of greed. Rest in peace..."

Lin Yuan searched the corpse and found two demon cores on him.

Unfortunately, there was no seven-colored snowflake.

This Ability User should have already used up his only one.

Lin Yuan looked at the seven-colored snowflake in his hand, excitement flashing in his eyes.

Now he understood:

1. seven-colored snowflake + demon core = awaken Superpower

2. The higher the level of the demon core, the stronger the Superpower.

3. Already awakened Ability Users can continue to swallow the seven-colored snowflake + demon core to upgrade their Superpower.

4. seven-colored snowflake + Evolved Beast meat = significantly improve physique.

5. Unfortunately, the seven-colored snowflake is extremely rare.

Lin Yuan calculated in his heart:

I have demon cores in my hand, and now I have a seven-colored snowflake...

But only one seven-colored snowflake is not enough.

Lin Yuan had also read novels before the Apocalypse.

Generally, when such demon cores appear, there might be a classification of levels.

Therefore, Lin Yuan planned to find higher-level demon cores and then find more seven-colored snowflakes.

Only then could he awaken the strongest Superpower!

He made a decision: For the next period, he would fully hunt down high-level Evolved Beasts and collect seven-colored snowflakes and high-level demon cores!

Returning to the villa, Lin Yuan gathered the three women and announced:

"For the next period of time, I will go out frequently to hunt Evolved Beasts. You stay in the villa and don't leave."

The three women nodded; although uneasy, they still obeyed.

Lin Yuan didn't want to tell the three women the secret of this Superpower for the time being. Although he had become much closer to them, Lin Yuan felt that his strength was still not strong enough.

This precious information.

Of course, he would consider himself first. After obtaining a Superpower, he would then consider whether to give them a Superpower.

Ye Qingyue said worriedly: "Brother Lin Yuan, you must be careful..."

Lin Yuan stroked her head: "Don't worry, no one can kill me."
