Returning to the End of the World

e comforted himself, it’s okay, it’s just some monsters, he’d seen worse than this, don’t back off, there’s–Dad here.

　　

　　”Liu Mu, step back!” Shen Chi slashed down, and the chain lock that was about to break suddenly broke in half!

　　

　　The zombies rushed in!

　　

　　Only a small part of these zombies still maintain the appearance of a complete human.
Most of them were either missing half of the head, with white brain matter flowing all the way, or else missing an arm which was forcibly torn.
The torn gash was rotten and purulent, looking incredibly disgusting.
Some were simply crawling on the ground, only half of the body remained.
The ground was covered with dark red blood, Shen Liu Mu clearly saw a zombie’s mouth filled with blood, and teeth stained with disgusting minced meat.

　　

　　Under the Tang man’s heaven-defying bizarre heart method, there are many group attack skills, such as poisonous shrines, Tian Juedi, hidden killing intent, heavenly maiden scattering flowers, peacock plume.
The zombies outside the door rushed in, Shen Chi stood calmly.
Without even moving his eyebrows, in an instant, these zombies fell one after another.
The gear of Tian Juedi kept turning, Shen Chi’s body leaned back, the heavenly female scattered flowers bursting out Qian Ji Xia fell to the ground, and exploded!

(T/N: Umm… rough translation.
I’m not sure what’s happening in the first part 唐门的天罗诡道心法之下，群攻技能很多，毒刹、天绝地灭、暗藏杀机、天女散花、孔雀翎

If anyone knows what this means, please let me know)

　　

　　Shen Liu Mu was dumbfounded.
The knife in his hand almost fell to the ground.

　　

　　With the powerful group attack skills, even if there were more zombies, it’s of no use.
Now this kind of low-level zombie was too easy for Shen Chi to deal with.
Any casual concealed weapon could kill them! Soon, only three or two of the zombies that came in were left.
They were blocked by the bodies of those in front of them, but they still walked forward blindly and senselessly.

　　

　　”LiuMu,” Shen Chi said. 

　　

　　Shen Liumu looked at Shen Chi with an extra bright gaze, “Dad!”

　　

　　”I will leave this to you, you cut their heads off with the knife in your hand.”

　　

　　Shen Liumu was stunned.

　　

　　Shen Chi put away Qian Ji Xia, took the knife and jumped up.
Snow cold knife flashed brightly, and a zombie’s head rolled down.

　　

　　”Don’t be afraid, they are actually not that scary.
They are slow.
You can reach this zombie on the ground.
Come on, cut off his head.”

　　

　　　Shen Liumu stepped forward in silence.
There was no need for Shen Chi to teach a second time.
With a stab, he severely chopped off the head of the zombie crawling on the ground without any hesitation! Red blood spurted out, stained his shoes and clothes, and even splashed on his face, but his face was calm.

　　

　　Shen Chi: “…” It is indeed Liumu, that bloody method using LiuMu. 

　　

　　A child who looked only five or six years old, carrying a knife, and his hand did not even shake.
This time Shen Chi was completely convinced that he could walk through the apocalypse alone ……

　　

　　”Dad, I said it,” Shen Liumu felt a little timid when he saw Shen Chi’s expression.
He lowered his head and said in a low voice, “I’ve seen… I’ve seen my mother holding a knife—dad, in case I’m like her……”

　　

　　Shen Chi’s hand fell on his head and rubbed his hair fiercely, “Liu Mu, no matter what you become, you will be my son in this life, understand?”

　　

　　It took a long time for Shen Liumu to make a vague “mmm”, but with a little cry.

　　

　　He knew from a long time ago that maybe he was a little different from other kids.
Last year he broke the head of the Xiao Shitao that was always bullying him in the orphanage.
Although he himself was severely beaten by the Director afterwards, not only was he not afraid but also a little excited when he saw Xiao Shitou’s head bleeding.

　　

　　He thought that maybe he liked watching people bleed as much as his mother, who cut his father into pieces? Many nights he was so frightened by this thought he couldn’t sleep.

　　

　　He was afraid that his new Dad would also dislike him because of this.
This Dad’s chest was very broad and reassuring, moreover, his Dad smelled good, his Dad was good-looking, and his Dad was very gentle to him.
Dad also gave him a big teddy bear.
In the orphanage, there was only one dirty teddy bear.
It seemed to be a gift from a college sister the year before, but he never had a turn to play.

　　

　Shen Liu Mu did not want to make his Dad hate him because of this.

　　

　　Listening to Shen Chi’s gentle voice, he hugged Shen Chi’s leg and gradually calmed down.

　　

　　”Liu Mu, watch it.” Shen Chi patted Shen Liu Mu’s back, signalling to let go of himself.
He took the knife and cut open a zombie’s head at once.
After searching for a while, he found a rice grain-sized, seemingly transparent water droplet-like thing. 

　　

　　These primary zombies have only such rice grain size crystal nucleus.
And because they were too unnoticeable, at first no one even knew about them, until later zombies began to evolve.
After the evolution, the crystal nucleus in B-class zombie’s head had pomegranate seed size–still not many people found about it until the emergence of C-class zombies.
The grape-sized nucleus only attracted attention two years later.

　　

　　Crystal nucleus can enhance abilities, but it is difficult to preserve them.
The nucleus in the heads of these zombies are equivalent to their hearts, and once they die, the nucleus will turn into water after half an hour at most.

　　

” ”

　　”Dad, what is this?”

　　

　”Liu Mu, take it.” Shen Liu Mu took the crystal nucleus in a puzzled manner.

　　

　　”Do you feel it, a hot air stream inside your body?”

　　

　　Shen Liu Mu didn’t understand.

　　

　　”It’s probably in this place.” Shen Chi’s long and slender finger poked Shen Liu Mu’s lower abdomen, and although the seven-year-old child didn’t quite understand what was going on, he was still embarrassed instinctively.
He instantly blushed, “Dad!”

　　

　　Shen Chi laughed, “Kid! This is called Dantian!”

[T/N: Here Shen Chi called Shen Liumu 小鬼 xǐao gǔi, which is a term of endearment for a mischievous child]

　　

　　Shen Liu Mu stared at him without speaking.

　　

　　”Feel if there is a hot air stream in your Dantian and lead it to the palm of your hand.”

　　

　　Shen Chi saw Shen Liu Mu’s small palm suddenly covered with a layer of green shimmer, which was very beautiful, and the small crystal nucleus soon melted like water, absorbed by his palm and disappeared!

　　

　　This is a wood ability.

　　

　　In the whole world, the nature-related abilities are a valuable asset, they are the smallest in number, and the wood ability is the smallest of all of them.
Shen Chi remembered that until he entered the Institute in the whole world, there was only one wood ability user that was LiuMu.
This is the reason other people dare not offend Liumu completely.
Wood ability represents life.
No one knows whether one day they will need Liumu to save their lives. 

　　

　　Liu Mu is that indifferent to life, his methods are bloody and cruel, but he is the only wood ability user in the world.

　　

　　Therefore, Shen Chi believes that there must be a soft place in the heart of such Liumu, the kind of vibrant green.

　　

　　”Dad, what is this?” Shen Liu Mu looked at his hand in shock.

　　

　　”This is a crystal nucleus, something that will make Liumu’s ability more powerful.”

　　

　　　　 “Will it get better?”

　　

　　”Yes.”

　　

　”Better than Dad?”

　　

　　Shen Chi froze, then smiled and stroked his head, “Dad is also very good, and in the future, Liu Mu will become as good as Dad.”

　　

　　Shen Liu Mu gave an “Oh,” then said firmly, “I will become more powerful than Dad in the future.”

　　

　　Shen Chi ignored such a childish declaration, he still had many zombies to deal with, and these crystal nuclei could not be wasted.

　　

　　In fact – it was a long time before he knew that he could also absorb crystal nucleus, only at that time, his own power was already very strong, and in order for them to evolve and improve themselves faster, he always gave the crystal nucleus to them to use, and the result was that.

　　

　　”I will become more powerful than Dad so that I can protect him.”

　　

　　　　Shen Chi was stunned and felt something in his heart was pricked, slightly painful and itchy.
