Outside Ancheng, a massive mutated brown bear slowly advanced, with a man sitting atop it. The man quietly smoked a cigar, enjoying the afternoon sun. Behind him was a rather peculiar vehicle; upon closer inspection, one would realize it was a car hovering in mid-air.
The principle was similar to that of a spaceship, just more advanced. More importantly, this contraption consumed a lot of energy and didn't necessarily rely on Zombie Crystal s. This technology was likely to become widespread in the future, as it had minimal terrain requirements and could operate almost anywhere. Even if it fell off a cliff, there wouldn't be much trouble, as the hovering vehicle would continuously generate resistance during descent, much like deploying a parachute.
Even more importantly, this type of vehicle could also operate on water.
However, in this day and age, who would dare to drive on water? Even boats were too risky; that would be courting death.
Zheng Yifan was quite happy, sitting atop the brown bear and savoring his cigar; the feeling was simply fantastic. He had never experienced anything like it before. The bear beneath him wore a look of utter frustration, its face already bruised and battered—thanks to Zheng Yifan's handiwork. This fellow was just too greedy.
Zheng Yifan had no choice but to give him a good thrashing. Fortunately, Giant Bear Monka quickly surrendered; otherwise, Zheng Yifan would have had to try out some combination punches.
Yes, this bear was named Monka. He understood human speech and could even grunt out a few words.
Monka was the name he had told Zheng Yifan.
What it specifically meant was unclear to him; he only knew that having this fellow as his mount was simply perfect—fast and intelligent. Most importantly, he wouldn’t have to worry about being disturbed while sleeping in the wild.
On Monka's back, Zheng Yifan found the most comfortable spot right in the center. Lying there felt like resting on the softest bed imaginable; the fluffy fur was incredibly cozy.
To Zheng Yifan's surprise, Monka was quite clean; he even bathed himself. This was something Zheng Yifan found hard to accept.
When riding Monka, there wasn't any particularly unpleasant odor. However, when they passed by a clear stream, Monka happily trotted over to wash himself.
Zheng Yifan generously donated several dozen bottles of shampoo to ensure that Monka's fur remained impeccably clean.
Now, Zheng Yifan lay here, clearly able to smell a gentle fragrance wafting through the air.
"Monka. We're almost at Ancheng. Whatever you do, don't act wild, got it?" Zheng Yifan said lazily.
"Roar!" Monka nodded and continued walking ahead. He certainly didn't want to provoke this Fellow behind him; it was too terrifying. Monka felt as if his doom was approaching.
Unfortunately, he had no way to escape because Zheng Yifan's combat power far surpassed his own.
Thus, outside Ancheng, one could see such a bizarre combination.
Of course, the most peculiar was Ten Thousand Steps, who was driving a hovercar and darting around everywhere in search of Essence Fruit.
However, there were simply too many of them. They were everywhere, and now Essence Fruit seemed untouched by anyone.
This was unbelievable. In the past, they would have dared to try; they wouldn’t waste any Essence Fruit.
Even if it meant risking everything, they would at least eat one to test their luck.
But now?
No one was using them.
"Monsters are besieging! Quickly notify the Saintess!" Suddenly, a voice rang out from within Ancheng, and then one could see a Fellow suspended in mid-air.
He was surprisingly suspended in mid-air between two tall buildings.
Perhaps this way allowed him to see further, and more importantly, it made it easier to guard against the Zombies. If he cut one of the ropes, his body would naturally drift into one of the adjacent buildings, allowing him to escape through the emergency exit.
However, this Fellow clearly did not want to escape. Zheng Yifan had already seen him gathering an immense amount of power in his hands, as if it were a weakened version of the Power of Faith. He could not gather followers, nor could he directly attach it to a weapon for an attack like Zheng Yifan could.
The way those people attacked seemed to involve reassembling the Power of Faith into a sharp spearhead, which they then dropped from above.
"Interesting." Zheng Yifan felt that this power seemed to originate from the same source as his own Power of Faith; with just a wave of his hand, it could flow into his body and be used by him.
Their power felt like it was part of him, only temporarily manifested in someone else's body.
Zheng Yifan understood that this power was not truly his; it was merely a temporary borrowing of his Power of Faith. Everything stemmed from Xu Jie’s Superpower. He had confirmed that the girl he saved had evolved her Superpower to a remarkably strong level.
With a wave of his hand, all the Power of Faith recondensed and returned to their bodies.
He could absorb vast amounts of Power of Faith; in this city, he sensed millions of units rapidly coalescing, ultimately transforming into strength within himself. This was the Power of Faith he had acquired, while the Power of Faith these people used was likely a variant of Superpower. Xu Jie’s Superpower had altered the essence of Essence Fruit, allowing them to refine Power of Faith.
More and more people gathered, yet their attacks on Zheng Yifan were utterly ineffective; he did not retaliate against them either. He simply smiled.
They were at quite a distance, and those people seemed to have forgotten that they once possessed technology capable of using telescopes.
The climbing Monka appeared somewhat angry; he could sense the malice directed towards him from those people, so he bared his teeth to show that he was not to be trifled with.
Zheng Yifan slapped him twice before he finally settled down.
"I am Zheng Yifan, here to find Xu Jie," Zheng Yifan said softly.
His voice seemed to transform into a sacred power, continuously transmitting and resonating in the surroundings. This was merely a communication of Superpower that resonated with their Power of Faith.
When it came to the use of Power of Faith, Zheng Yifan was undoubtedly a master.
With just a single sentence, he astonished everyone. Suddenly, they began to unleash their Superpower Application, and little by little, their Superpower converged together, forming an image of Zheng Yifan.
Eventually, this image slowly entered Zheng Yifan's body.
In an instant, it was as if Zheng Yifan had consumed a powerful tonic.
Suddenly, the crowd erupted in excitement as waves of Power of Faith surged into Zheng Yifan's body, strong and unwavering.
Those people suddenly knelt on the ground, bowing in worship. It was a reverence for the deity they admired, surpassing the limits that ordinary people should reach.
This was faith. (To be continued)
