Chapter 6: Meditation Technique

As long as he became an Awakened one, he would be able to gain the upper hand at the beginning of the apocalypse. This was very important for him to gain a foothold in the future.

Ordinary people who had not become Awakened ones had no status in the apocalypse. They could only become livestock that could be slaughtered.

Awakened ones with talent were called Evolvers!

Ling Yichen knew this very well. Now that his sister had become an Evolver, he could not let her waste the easiest stage of development in the apocalypse.

Ling Yichen took the two Origin Crystals to the tap and washed them. The crystal clear Origin Crystals were very hard and difficult to destroy. However, it was extremely easy to absorb them.

The country would soon discover the use of Origin Crystals. At that time, Awakened ones would keep appearing. He needed to make more preparations before that.

Ling Yichen swallowed the Origin Crystal that was dug out from the zombie’s head. He did not care much about such a disgusting thing. After all, he had been in the apocalypse for many years. The Origin Crystal produced by the mutated bird could be given to his sister. It would have the same effect and would not be too disgusting.

At this moment, Ling Zixing’s panicked voice sounded, “Brother! The country has announced that all the citizens of the country should find a place to hide. There are monsters everywhere outside.”

At this moment, Ling Zixing saw her brother swallowing a strange thing.

Ling Zixing asked curiously, “Brother, what are you eating?”

Ling Yichen did not feel anything. He said calmly, “Oh, it’s something dug out of a zombie’s head.”

Ling Zixing could not help but cover her cherry lips, looking a little nauseous.

Ling Yichen stroked Ling Zixing’s little head and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I’ve already washed it clean. There won’t be any viruses.”

“But why are you eating this, Brother?”

Ling Yichen said, “Maybe it’s because my talent is special. In addition to obtaining information about my talent, I also obtained information about this Origin Crystal. As long as we swallow this Origin Crystal, we can comprehend a meditation method and become stronger. In the future, when we absorb Origin Crystals, not only can we strengthen ourselves, but we also have a chance to comprehend battle techniques!”

With that, Ling Yichen handed the Origin Crystal from the mutated bird to Ling Zixing.

“Take it. This was taken out of the bird’s body just now. It’s also washed clean.”

Ling Zixing took the unusually small Origin Crystal. If it was an Origin Crystal dug out of a zombie’s head, a girl like her would not be able to accept it.

After hesitating for a moment, Ling Zixing put the Origin Crystal into her mouth. The small Origin Crystal was easily swallowed by her.

Immediately, a stream of information about meditation methods appeared.

Ling Yichen knew this method from the start. He even had the circulation route of all the combat techniques in his previous life in his mind, but it was as if he was missing something. He could not use anything.

Only after swallowing the Origin Crystal did he realize the reason.

It turned out that the Origin Crystals not only provided them with meditation techniques and combat techniques, but also a “privilege key” to use these abilities.

The battle techniques in his mind seemed to be locked. If he did not have a key that matched them perfectly to open them, Ling Yichen would not be able to use them even if he knew what was inside.

Ling Yichen suddenly asked, “Zixing, are you afraid of the monsters outside?”

Ling Zixing was stunned for a moment before nodding. “Of course I’m afraid.”

Ling Yichen said seriously, “However, we have to face these monsters. Let’s go out and hunt these monsters now.”

“But…”

Ling Zixing was still hesitant. At this moment, Ling Yichen added, “The apocalypse has arrived. These Origin Crystals can make us stronger. This way, we can gain a foothold in this collapsed world. Furthermore, we all have special talents. Obviously, not everyone has them. Otherwise, the last-minute notice from the country would definitely explain these talents.”

After listening to what Ling Yichen said, Ling Zixing nodded silently. She had a very obedient personality. After her parents died, Ling Yichen was her guardian.

Ling Yichen glanced at the [Incubation Yard] and received this message.

“[Unknown Insect Egg] Remaining hatching time: 14 minutes 32 seconds.”

It had only been five minutes. He did not know what kind of insect it would hatch into. He was really looking forward to it.

Then, Ling Yichen left home with Ling Zixing. They lived on the fourth floor of this building. When they went downstairs, they found someone rushing upstairs.

A young man rushed up from downstairs and shouted, “Dad, run! Run faster!”

At this moment, a man’s panting voice came from downstairs. He sounded a little old. “I really can’t run anymore.”

However, this young man did not stop to wait for his father. Instead, he ran up alone. At this moment, an obviously violent barking sound came from downstairs!

The barking was accompanied by a man’s scream.

“Save me! Ah! Don’t bite me!”

Faced with his father’s scream, the young man gritted his teeth. He did not go downstairs to save his father at all. Instead, he ran upstairs faster and faster.

He had already seen how powerful the mutated dog was. It had killed two strong men. How could his small body kill such a ferocious monster?

Ling Yichen and Ling Zixing saw this scene of the young man abandoning his father. When the young man passed by the siblings, he did not care if he was embarrassed or not and continued to run upstairs.

Ling Yichen remembered this person. His usual style was not good. He was a NEET1 and had a bad reputation in the community.

“Brother, I’m scared.”

Ling Zixing hid behind Ling Yichen, feeling a little timid.

Ling Yichen habitually stroked Ling Zixing’s little head and said with a smile, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll go kill that mutated dog now.”

However, Ling Yichen did not rush downstairs to save the father. The death of this person would be more helpful to Ling Yichen. It would also be less annoying during battle. After all, these corpses could be converted into organic matter!

Ling Yichen was not familiar with this person, and he had no dealings with him. If this person died, then so be it.

When there were no more screams from the man downstairs, Ling Yichen sped up.

When Ling Yichen looked down from the stairs, he realized that the mutated dog had also discovered him and was looking at him through the gap between the railings!

This dog looked like a wild dog found by the roadside before the apocalypse. Its body was dirty, but at this moment, it had become abnormally cruel. It bared its teeth, and its body was stained with a large amount of blood. However, the blood obviously did not belong to this mutated dog.

Ling Yichen could determine the strength of this mutated dog at a glance. It was at Mortal Body Rank-0 and was not a threat at all!
