This weapon made of ice was actually so sharp?
Wasn't ice supposed to be fragile?
That was a concrete wall over ten centimeters thick-a barrier even bullets would struggle to pierce-yet Liu Yang had effortlessly thrust an ice weapon right through it?
What kind of thousand-year frost ice was that? It was insanely strong!
Everyone present stared at the weapon in Liu Yang's hand with eyes full of greed and longing.
If they had a weapon like that, wouldn't slaughtering zombies be as easy as cutting grass?
So what if a Moulter had thick, tough muscle?
Could its flesh possibly be thicker than a reinforced concrete wall?
If I had that weapon, I could slice a damn Swallower in half with a single swing!
As expected of a powerhouse like Lord Liu Yang-only a weapon this formidable is worthy of him!
Never mind the apocalypse; even in peaceful times, a weapon like this would be priceless.
And in the apocalypse, where life-or-death battles could erupt at any second, its value was truly beyond measure!
After all, having such a perfect weapon in a crisis could completely turn the tide of battle and save a life.
Liu Yang said, "See? If you have a weapon like this, you can probably kill even a Swallower with ease.
By the way, your strength should be enough to place on the Yellow Ranking, right? Did you not receive any stone tablet rewards?"
Back then, Zhang Jingyu's older brother, Zhang Jinglin, was merely a expert on the Yellow Ranking, yet he had obtained a Black Light Katana.
While that katana wasn't quite as powerful as this ice blade, it was still sharp enough to chop a Swallower in half with a single stroke.
Given Lin Wan'er and Wu Jingying's current strength, they should have easily made the Yellow Ranking. Had they not received any rewards? Liu Yang was genuinely curious.
Wu Jingying replied, "We did enter the Yellow Ranking. I was ranked in the 500s, and Wan'er was in the 800s. But the rewards we got weren't weapons. Can the stone tablet rewards actually drop equipment?"
Hearing her response, it was Liu Yang's turn to be surprised. He asked, "You mean you didn't get any equipment? What did you get instead?"
Zhang Jinglin had received the Black Light Katana, and Liu Yang himself had obtained the Dark Cloak. Those were both piece of equipment.
So what on earth had Lin Wan'er and Wu Jingying received?
Wu Jingying said, "I received an enhancement potion. After drinking it, my base attributes increased by about 5%."
Lin Wan'er added, "I got a pet... an indigenous dog named Wangcai. But he's really smart-much smarter than an ordinary dog. He can actually understand human speech."
Liu Yang: "..."
So the stone tablet rewards could actually drop such bizarre things? Was it entirely down to luck?
Getting a dog?
Only that damn stone tablet could hand out a reward like that.
In an apocalypse already plagued by severe food shortages, being forced to raise a pet was just adding insult to injury...
Though, an indigenous dog probably weighed thirty to forty catties. In a dire emergency, it could essentially be viewed as the stone tablet awarding thirty to forty catties of dog meat, which would probably taste pretty good.
It seemed getting the Dark Cloak back then had been exceptionally lucky.
Liu Yang shook his head. "Forget it, let's not dwell on it. This weapon is yours."
With that, he handed the ice blade directly to Wu Jingying.
Wu Jingying's face immediately flushed with overwhelmed delight. "F-f-for me? Really? You're really giving it to me? A weapon this powerful must be extraordinarily rare-it might even be the only one in the entire world! You're just giving it to me like this?"
At that moment, Wu Jingying couldn't help but wonder if Liu Yang was her destined Prince Charming. To willingly give her such a priceless weapon... did he actually have feelings for her?
Generous men really were so handsome!
Forget the apocalypse; even in times of peace, a weapon like this was one of a kind!
Right then and there, Wu Jingying swore in her heart that she would follow Liu Yang loyally for the rest of her life and become his most devoted woman!
Seeing her so overly dramatic, Liu Yang felt a bit awkward instead. He coughed softly. "Actually, it's not that precious..."
With a single thought, three more identical ice weapons materialized in his hands.
"Ah..." Wu Jingying froze.
"Holy crap!"
She had genuinely believed such a precious, godly weapon was a unique treasure, only to watch Liu Yang pull out a whole wholesale supply!
"Bro, if you had so many, you should have said so earlier! Making me get all emotional like that just makes me look like an ignorant country bumpkin who's never seen the world before!"
Not noticing the embarrassment flickering across Wu Jingying's face, Liu Yang turned to Lin Wan'er and said, "This one is for you."
"Ah? I get one too? Thank you, thank you! Thank you so much, Liu Yang, you're the best!"
Lin Wan'er's face lit up with excitement.
She had assumed only Wu Jingying had the special privilege of owning such a formidable weapon, never dreaming that she would get one as well!
This was amazing!
Liu Yang really treated everyone equally!
Then, Liu Yang looked over at Chen Ziyi. "This one is yours."
Chen Ziyi gasped in sheer disbelief. "I... I get one too?"
Her strength was lower than both Lin Wan'er and Wu Jingying, and she hadn't even managed to get on the Yellow Ranking.
She had never imagined that Liu Yang would gift a weapon to someone as weak as her. She was deeply touched.
Chen Ziyi's eyes grew red as tears welled up, her gaze toward Liu Yang overflowing with adoration and love.
She secretly vowed that since she wasn't as strong as her two older sisters, yet Liu Yang still treated her with equal generosity, she would make sure to work extra hard in bed in the future to pamper him and serve him properly!
Now, only one ice sword remained in Liu Yang's hand.
The four remaining male survivors watched the scene unfold, their eyes gleaming with desperate hope.
Could this last weapon be meant for one of the four of them?
If so, who would be the lucky chosen one?
Every single one of them grew instantly tense. Their hearts pounded against their ribs, their breathing grew shallow, and their throats turned dry as bone.
If they could just obtain a weapon like that, their combat power would easily double!
Even when facing a Swallower, they wouldn't be completely helpless!
They even swore in their minds that if Liu Yang gave them this weapon, they would willingly act as his ox, his horse, his cat, or his dog!
However, Liu Yang's next move completely caught them off guard. He didn't give the weapon to any of them. Instead, with a flick of his wrist, he hurled the ice sword through the air.
"Thwack!"
The blade impaled itself deep into the rooftop of the base's tallest building.
The ice sword gleamed brilliantly under the blazing sun, radiating a chilling, terrifying cold light.
Liu Yang declared calmly,
"I am leaving this weapon here at your base. Whenever necessary, any of you may pull it out to defend this place!"
