The Max-Level Boss Just Wants to Be a Slacker [Apocalypse] – CH84

Chapter 84: Hallucination

When Mo Xiu woke up the next morning, the experience was similar to the previous time. He still felt refreshed and full of energy. In fact, he felt even better than before—so much so that he sensed his cultivation had improved more than expected.

He glanced at Mo Qi beside him with some confusion. This was different from what the cultivation novels he had read described. Wasn’t it said that dual cultivation only provided the greatest boost the first time? After one lost their primordial essence, the effect should no longer be so strong.

“Morning…”

Sensing the gaze from beside him, Mo Qi slowly opened his eyes. Seeing the questioning look on the young man’s face, he curved his lips into a smile.

“What’s wrong? Why that expression so early in the morning? Are you hungry? Want me to get you something to eat? Or do you want to lie here with me a little longer?”

As he spoke, he naturally reached out and gently massaged Mo Xiu’s slightly sore waist.

His calm and familiar manner made it seem as though they had already gone through this countless times.

Mo Xiu let out a couple of comfortable hums before realizing what he was doing. His ears reddened with embarrassment. Seeing how natural Mo Qi looked, he felt a little annoyed and reached out to lightly pinch the man’s cheek.

“You seem pretty comfortable.”

Mo Qi chuckled softly, shamelessly leaning closer. He brushed the tip of his nose against Mo Xiu’s and then placed a kiss on his lips.

“What’s there to be uncomfortable about? Being with my cultivation partner—I should feel comfortable.”

Mo Xiu felt a warmth in his chest from those words. If life could continue like this, he thought, it wouldn’t be bad at all.

Then he suddenly remembered the question he meant to ask—he had almost been distracted by Mo Qi again.

“I actually feel my cultivation improving too. My condition is better than before. I think it’s probably related to the Heavenly Dao helping us awaken part of our power earlier.

“Besides, I’ve absorbed quite a lot of demonic energy recently, so my cultivation has been steadily rising. So during last night’s dual cultivation, I probably gave you more energy than before.”

Mo Xiu nodded after hearing that and quietly said, “I see.”

After last night, both of them were indeed in better condition.

Mo Xiu thought that since the Shanhe Base had already been mostly cleared, in a few days they could move on to other cities to deal with the zombies and demonic energy there.

Mo Qi agreed completely. The two of them discussed their plans with enthusiasm.

After getting up and eating breakfast, they gathered the team and in a single day thoroughly cleared every corner of the city where the Shanhe Base was located.

More precisely, it didn’t even take a full day—only half a day.

This was because Mo Qi discovered that his ability to absorb demonic energy had grown even stronger.

After removing the demonic energy in the air, he also absorbed the demonic energy inside many zombies within a certain range. By the time the demonic cultivators arrived, they only saw large piles of corpses lying on the ground.

“Your Excellency, doing it like this makes us look useless,” the Great Elder said with a tone that sounded like a complaint, though there was no displeasure in his voice.

Feeling that Mo Qi’s power had grown stronger again, the Great Elder couldn’t help but show a proud and satisfied smile. He almost wanted to brag about it to someone.

But looking around and seeing only their own people, there didn’t seem to be anyone to show off to.

Sigh… If those so-called righteous cultivators were here—especially that Immortal Lord—how great it would be! He could let them see just how powerful their Demon Lord truly was.

For the next stage of their actions, Mo Qi and Mo Xiu discussed it and decided that Mo Xiu would take charge.

After all, Mo Xiu understood this world better than Mo Qi and was more organized in handling matters.

Though in truth, it was simply that when two lazy people were put together, one of them still had to be the slightly less lazy one.

That afternoon, after returning, Mo Xiu began planning their route.

He decided they could first go to the city where Bai Suo was located. Bai Suo was at the University City Base, and his father was the base’s leader.

The University City Base covered a wide area, and they also had trusted people there who could help.

Demonic cultivators worked extremely efficiently. Many of them could fly with swords or directly through the air.

Traveling was incredibly easy.

As for the zombies and the demonic energy in the air—they could deal with them along the way.

The group of ability users who wanted to follow them could also be carried through the air by the demonic cultivators without any difficulty.

Even Mo Xiu himself, after improving his abilities, could carry several people through the air using only his wind powers.

Of course, his flying wasn’t as stable as that of the demonic cultivators who had trained for years.

The rest of the team was even easier to manage. Under Mo Qi’s guidance, Xie Wu even created flying talismans.

By sticking them onto their bodies, they could fly in the sky just like the demonic cultivators.

Xie Wu and Da Yong were so excited they could barely contain themselves.

Xiong Mingyuan also wanted to go with them, but unfortunately he had to stay behind to manage the Shanhe Base. After all, he was now truly the person in charge there.

Now that there were no zombies around the base, there were many things to do—rebuilding the city alone was already a huge task.

He simply thought his younger brother had run off with others again. But with Mo Xiu and Mo Qi there, he was completely reassured.

In the past he had always worried that his younger brother was too foolish and might suffer outside.

Who would have thought that being a little foolish could bring good fortune? The boy had somehow latched onto two incredibly powerful supporters.

Even he, the older brother, benefited from it. Thinking about it made him happy.

Mo Xiu and Mo Qi’s group traveled extremely fast.

A journey that normally took several days only required half a day thanks to flying.

By evening, they had already arrived near the University City Base.

At that moment, Bai Suo suddenly received a report from the watchtower that a major emergency was occurring.

He hurried to the entrance of the base and was shocked to see a huge dark mass in the sky approaching them.

“What is that? Could it be some kind of mutated animal again?”

He didn’t think they were zombies, but assumed it was some kind of sudden crisis.

The person beside him, Bu Zhengchen, had sharper eyesight. He pointed toward the two figures leading the group.

“Look carefully. Those aren’t mutated animals—they’re people!

“And the two in front… aren’t those your friends? Isn’t that Mo Xiu and Mo Qi?”

Bai Suo opened his mouth in shock. As the figures got closer and clearer, he muttered in disbelief:

“It really is Mo Xiu!”

But when he noticed the strange clothing and appearance of the demonic cultivators behind them, his mind became even more confused.

Before his brain could process it for long, something even more shocking happened.

The zombies wandering not far from the base suddenly collapsed one by one, without any warning.

It was as if all their energy had been instantly drained. They all became ordinary corpses.

Seeing this, Bai Suo stared blankly and murmured to Bu Zhengchen beside him:

“So what exactly is happening now…?

“My dear… I think I’m hallucinating.”
