14: Chapter 14 Crazy Absorption Sequence

He didn't give the other party any chance to talk nonsense. Stepping forward, he condensed the power of his Sequence throughout his entire body and threw a fist straight at Zhang Xiuqi.

With a muffled bang, Zhang Xiuqi didn't even let out a scream before collapsing to the ground, completely devoid of breath.

[Physician Sequence detected. Absorb?]

[Rune Sequence detected. Absorb?]

The system prompts chimed in succession. Without a second thought, Zhou Che chose to absorb them all.

The warm healing power and the mysterious rune power instantly surged into his body, perfectly fusing with his original Sequences, causing his overall aura to skyrocket.

Ruan Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded, freezing in place with a face full of shock.

She had never dreamed that Lin Wan, who was by Zhou Che's side, was actually a Transcendent as well!

What was even more absurd was that Zhou Che was clearly known to have the Mechanic Sequence. How could his strength be so terrifyingly formidable? He had killed the traitorous Zhang Xiuqi in a single punch!

Ignoring her shock, Zhou Che led Lin Wan straight to Captain Wu Jue's vehicle.

The moment they approached the carriage, the surroundings were deathly silent; not even the faintest sound of breathing could be heard.

Zhou Che pulled open the car door, only to see Captain Wu Jue lying on the seat, his body covered in wounds and already breathless. Beside him, Xiao Zhang had also collapsed in the corner, completely devoid of life.

[Pathfinder Sequence detected. Absorb?]

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Che directly absorbed Captain Wu Jue's Pathfinder Sequence.

Scanning the surroundings, he saw only messy signs of a struggle and scattered bloodstains on the ground. Other than that, not a single soul was in sight; the rest of the enemies had already fled.

Zhou Che turned back to Luo Xi's side. Looking at the long-legged beauty lying on the ground, dying and covered in blood, he made his calculations.

If Luo Xi died, her Halberdier Sequence could indeed be absorbed by him. However, he currently had a bunch of combat Sequences; adding one more wouldn't make a big difference, and the boost would be quite limited.

Besides, Luo Xi had provided him with a lot of useful information before, which counted as helping him. If she really died, he would have to find someone else and spend effort granting them a Sequence, which was simply not worth it.

Keeping her alive was far more useful than killing her for her Sequence.

Watching her cousin's breath grow weaker and weaker, Ruan Xiaoxiao completely panicked. With a thud, she knelt before Zhou Che and slammed her head against the ground, over and over, blood quickly seeping from her forehead.

"Zhou Che, I beg you, please save my cousin! I'm willing to do anything, no matter what you ask of me! Please!"

Seeing the young girl crying her heart out, Zhou Che raised an eyebrow and spoke in a flat tone, "Are you really willing to do anything? No regrets?"

Ruan Xiaoxiao nodded her head like a chicken pecking at grain, her eyes incredibly firm. "Really! I will never regret it! As long as you can save my cousin, I'll do anything!"

Zhou Che didn't beat around the bush and laid out his terms directly. "Fine. Then I want you and your cousin to be completely devoted to me from now on, obeying my every command. Are you willing to do that too?"

Hearing this, Ruan Xiaoxiao didn't hesitate for even half a second, nodding frantically in agreement.

"I'm willing! I'm willing! As long as it saves my cousin, I agree immediately!"

Zhou Che nodded in satisfaction, not bothering to waste any more words.

"At least you're sensible. Since you're so sincere, I'll save her life."

With those words, Zhou Che raised his hand and tapped gently towards Ruan Xiaoxiao, directly granting her the entirety of the Physician Sequence he had just absorbed.

A faint green light rose around Ruan Xiaoxiao, a green glow flashing and vanishing in her eyes as a warm healing power instantly surged through her entire body.

She froze in place, her face filled with disbelief. She had actually awakened the extremely rare Physician Sequence directly!

Coming to her senses, she looked at Zhou Che with eyes full of awe. Only now did she realize how terrifying the man before her was—he could make someone awaken a Transcendent Sequence with a mere wave of his hand.

Looking at her dazed state, Zhou Che raised his eyebrows and said rather casually, "Don't forget to come to my car tonight."

Having said that, he didn't look back, turning to lead Lin Wan straight toward his wuling hongguang, leaving Ruan Xiaoxiao dazed in place alongside the dying Luo Xi.

Ruan Xiaoxiao stood frozen in place, her face full of disbelief, unable to snap out of it for a long time.

With just a casual tap, Zhou Che had actually allowed her to directly awaken the Physician Sequence that everyone yearned for?

What kind of unbelievable method was this? It was simply too heaven-defying!

The probability of awakening in the apocalypse was ridiculously low. Countless people struggled until death without any activity, yet she had obtained such a massive opportunity out of thin air. It was truly hard to believe.

Now was not the time to dwell on this; saving her cousin was the top priority.

Suppressing the shock in her heart, Ruan Xiaoxiao immediately activated her newly awakened Physician Sequence.

A pale green healing light slowly enveloped the blood-covered Luo Xi, smoothing over her wounds and stabilizing her internal damage bit by bit, completely controlling her deteriorating injuries so they would no longer worsen.

But she also knew in her heart that her cousin had been shot and severely injured; the wounds were extremely critical. Even with her treatment, it would take several days of continuous recuperation before she could wake up.

After this Sequence of actions, her newly awakened Sequence power was completely drained. Ruan Xiaoxiao's entire body went limp, and she slumped against the car, without even the strength to raise her hand.

Recalling the events of tonight, she still felt as if she were in a dream.

Mysteriously granted a Transcendent Sequence, she had turned into a physician—the most sought-after profession in the apocalypse—in the blink of an eye. This stroke of luck left her head spinning.

In her heart, she felt both gratitude and awe toward Zhou Che. This man seemed casual, but his methods were terrifying. Following him wouldn't be a loss.

But at the thought of Zhou Che's parting words, "Come to my car tonight," Ruan Xiaoxiao's cheeks instantly flushed beet red. She couldn't help but curse him in her heart—this man was way too perverted!

But then again, she had agreed to it with her own mouth. To save her cousin, she was willing to do anything.

Moreover, Zhou Che had given her a heaven-defying ability to survive. This great kindness was something she ought to repay well.

Zhou Che led Lin Wan back into the modified wuling hongguang, closing the door behind them to completely shut out the night and the mess outside.

Lin Wan's eyes curved with a smile as she stared at Zhou Che, the meaning in them couldn't be any clearer, filled with deep affection.

Zhou Che's gaze was also burning as he stared back at her without blinking. The two of them naturally resumed the wonderful moment that had been interrupted the previous night.

After their intimacy, Zhou Che entered sage mode. Leaning lazily on the 1.8-meter-wide bed, he didn't feel sleepy at all and immediately began to take stock of his heaven-defying harvest from the night.

He summoned the system directly in his mind, and a pale blue system panel instantly floated before his eyes.

Looking at the list of Sequences on the panel, Zhou Che's grin stretched from ear to ear, feeling incredibly thrilled.

The Lord of the Blood Moon Sequence, Mechanic Sequence, Demon User Sequence, Pathfinder Sequence, Rune Sequence, Physician Sequence, and Boxer Sequence—a total of seven major Sequences were all taken into his pocket!

Previously, he had also granted Lin Wan the Lord of the Blood Moon Sequence and Ruan Xiaoxiao the Physician Sequence. Counting it all up, he had a whopping seven major Sequences on him!

Such a terrifying foundation of Sequences had already far surpassed that of an ordinary Sequence 1 Transcendent, more than doubling his strength. Even if he encountered a genuine Sequence 2 powerhouse, he would dare to face them head-on without the slightest fear!
