The Max-Level Boss Just Wants to Be a Slacker [Apocalypse] – CH82

Chapter 82: The Big Boss 

Hearing this, Mo Xiu showed a helpless smile that was both amused and exasperated. He turned to Mo Qi and said,
“Why don’t you explain it this time?”

Mo Qi no longer intended to hide the truth.

After all, he had brought so many demonic cultivators with him. Trying to explain everything as some kind of virus would no longer make sense.

He didn’t really care what others thought, but the people in their team were different. They deserved to know what had actually happened.

After listening to Mo Qi’s explanation, everyone present looked shocked.

Xiong Gangyong’s mouth fell open into a huge “O” shape as he stared foolishly at the enormous group standing behind Mo Xiu and Mo Qi.

“Brother Qi… are you saying the people behind you are all cultivators like the ones in novels? And that the cultivation world really exists? That’s incredible!”

Beside him, Xiong Mingyuan looked at his silly younger brother and felt slightly embarrassed.

But what could he say?

Truthfully, he himself was just as shocked.

Even though Mo Qi’s explanation sounded like pure fantasy, the group behind him clearly wasn’t fake.

Every single one of them had a terrifying presence. They might look strange and unusual, but they were obviously powerful. Some were even floating in the air on bizarre magical artifacts.

Who wouldn’t believe it after seeing that?

After confirming that everything had been explained, Mo Xiu addressed the group.

“Alright. I’m only telling you all this. There’s no need to explain it to everyone else.

They only need to know one thing—we have a way to solve the zombie problem. Of course, we’ll need your cooperation.”

“Understood! Understood! We’ll cooperate!” Xiong Gangyong said immediately.

Xiong Mingyuan also nodded seriously. He had already decided that he would do everything he could to assist.

If what Mo Xiu and the others said was true, then the apocalypse might end soon.

As for things like demonic cultivators and demonic energy, explaining that to everyone would be far too complicated.

It would be easier to simply tell people that Mo Xiu had brought back some powerful experts.

Nearby, Xie Wu and Lu Pingwan exchanged glances.

Both of them could see the same shock in each other’s eyes.

At the beginning, they had only followed Mo Xiu because they thought life would be easier by his side.

Later, they had diligently followed his instructions and gotten along well with Mo Qi.

Back then, everyone believed that Mo Xiu was the powerful one, and Mo Qi was just someone he had casually picked up along the road and kept around because he liked him.

Who could have imagined that as time passed, they would gradually realize that Mo Qi was anything but ordinary?

Step by step, they witnessed how powerful he was.

They learned that he was a psychic-type ability user with strange mystical abilities, even capable of absorbing zombie virus.

In their minds, Mo Xiu and Mo Qi were already equally formidable figures.

But now they had just been told that there was no such thing as a zombie virus.

The real cause of everything was demonic energy.

And Mo Qi…

…was actually the Demon Lord?

What kind of fantasy world was this?

Being shocked once was already enough—but how could they keep being shocked again and again and again?

Still, no matter how unbelievable it was, one thing was clear.

They had chosen the right people to rely on.

While most of them were still lost in their thoughts, only Cheng Cheng and Xiong Gangyong were full of excitement, loudly asking if they could learn cultivation too.

“Can we focus on the important matter first?” Mo Xiu said helplessly.
“Is this really the time to talk about learning cultivation? Dealing with the zombies is the most urgent thing.”

Cheng Cheng scratched his head awkwardly and nodded.

He had gotten too carried away imagining himself becoming a heroic cultivator.

While they were talking, the army of demonic cultivators behind Mo Qi and Mo Xiu were also curiously observing the surroundings.

In their own world, the regions where demonic cultivators gathered had a fair amount of demonic energy.

But compared to this world…

…it wasn’t even close.

This place was overflowing with demonic energy, and there wasn’t the slightest trace of spiritual energy.

For demonic cultivators, this place was practically a paradise for cultivation.

“Your Excellency, this place is incredible!” the Great Elder said excitedly after taking a deep breath.

“If we cultivated here for some time, our strength would increase tremendously.”

“Incredible? What’s incredible about it?” Xiong Gangyong frowned in confusion.

“There are zombies everywhere! It’s terrifying! Old man, are you senile or something?”

Since Xiong Gangyong spoke without thinking, the Great Elder was instantly furious.

“Who are you calling senile, you brat? Are you looking for a beating?” he shouted.

His aura burst out, frightening Xiong Gangyong so badly that he quickly took a step back and shrank his neck.

Mo Qi simply gave the Great Elder a glance to calm things down.

Seeing that his Demon Lord had intervened, the Great Elder decided not to bother arguing with a kid.

In the apocalypse, ability users were considered powerful.

But compared to demonic cultivators, they were nothing special.

In the eyes of the Great Elder and the others, they were simply ordinary people with a few minor abilities.

Only the Demon Lord’s partner, Mo Xiu, was somewhat impressive.

As for everyone else…

…they were all extremely fragile.

When the demonic cultivators saw the ugly zombies outside Shanhe Base, they finally understood why the people here thought the world was terrible.

So many disgusting monsters were being controlled by demonic energy.

Demonic cultivators might behave more wildly than righteous cultivators, but that didn’t mean they lacked aesthetic taste.

And these zombies were simply too ugly.

No one would like them anywhere.

When they heard Mo Qi say that they would eliminate the zombies and absorb the demonic energy from their bodies—which could greatly improve their cultivation—the demonic cultivators immediately became excited.

“Let’s start with the area around Shanhe Base,” Mo Xiu said.

Since they had brought so many people, he divided them into several groups and assigned them different areas to clear.

The demonic cultivators were highly efficient, and high-level ones learned very quickly.

After Mo Qi briefly taught them how to absorb demonic energy from zombies, they quickly mastered it.

Wherever these cultivators went, they barely needed to fight.

Zombies collapsed in large numbers just from passing by.

Once the demonic energy controlling them was removed, they instantly turned back into ordinary corpses and could no longer attack humans.

Later they realized that although this method eliminated zombies quickly, it left behind too many corpses.

So Mo Xiu discussed it with Mo Qi and asked the demonic cultivators to destroy the bodies as well.

Fortunately, such tasks were easy for demonic cultivators.

With a few spells and a wave of their hands, the corpses would simply turn to ashes.

As for Mo Qi himself, his upgraded body had almost no limitations.

He could effortlessly absorb vast amounts of demonic energy from the air and merge it into his body.

Compared to the other demonic cultivators, his task was even easier.

He simply needed to stroll around casually, and the demonic energy would naturally flow into him.

The rest of the work would be handled by his subordinates.

Soon, the people of Shanhe Base began to notice something astonishing.

The man they once thought was just the pretty boy that Mo Xiu kept by his side had suddenly become an incredibly powerful figure.

Not only had he brought back a large group of strange but powerful experts—

But those experts all obeyed him completely, addressing him respectfully as “Your Excellency.”

It was as if he were their master.

Could it be…

That Mo Qi was actually the most powerful one of all?
