Five Frozen Centuries Chapter 156 - The Consequences of Zero Luck

Chapter 156: The Consequences of Zero Luck

It was only now that Wei Huo understood that the Luck Severance Skill was indeed extraordinary. It could turn clouds and rain with a flip of a hand. It could even change the situation by sending out some luck and making something rotten magical.

Zhang Yuwen’s luck was really strong. In just a few hours, she had gotten lucky. Not only were there many women in the shelter, but there were also many men who had fought over her.

The heat wave hit, and the temperature outside the shelter reached 70 degrees. Many places were set on fire, and birds, animals, and insects had nowhere to run. They were all burned to ashes, but the small mountain with the Dragon Lock Well was still safe.

It was impossible to stay on the top three levels of the shelter. The temperature on the fifth level was already 50 degrees. One could imagine how high it was higher.

The weather was getting hotter, and people were getting more restless. However, Zhang Yuwen’s chances of victory were getting higher. At that moment, Zhang Yuwen disappeared!

Many people started panicking as the temperatures rose. Who would seek justice for the women now that Zhang Yuwen was gone?

Many men were hesitant. They had always been at the bottom of the hierarchy and had never come into contact with real power. Hence, they were unwilling to give up. Now that Zhang Yuwen had disappeared and the higher-ups had regained control of the s.p.a.ce, Liu Bayi said that he would leave after the shelter overcame its difficulties.

Wei Huo naturally knew where Zhang Yuwen was. She had been caught by the head chef and hidden in a secret chamber. The head chef was fat and rotund. Few people in the shelter had a body like his. That was enough to show that he had filled his own pockets and had reserved the best for himself.

The head chef dragged Zhang Yuwen into the secret chamber. It looked like an interrogation room. There was a table, a cup of water on it, and a chair. Zhang Yuwen was tied to the chair, and her mouth was sealed with tape. She was not unconscious, and she was still shouting.

The fat chef stood in front of her with a lascivious look in his eyes.

“Zhang Yuwen, you’ve been very arrogant these past few days! You’ve controlled all the women in the shelter. Why, are you not satisfied? So what if you’re not? It’s good enough that you guys have a chance to survive this Doomsday. Why are you asking for so much?” The chef spoke nonsense and even found excuses for his behavior. “To tell you the truth, you basically have no hope of living anymore. However, before you die, I can let you experience what it means to be happy in the world!”

As he spoke, the head chef started unbuckling his belt. However, because he was fat, his belt got stuck.

Zhang Yuwen panicked, but she could not speak because her mouth was sealed. She could only whimper.

At that moment, the secret chamber’s door creaked three times as if someone was knocking on it repeatedly.

The head chef raised his brows. He was about to explode, but someone had come to disturb him again. He was furious.

He walked to the door but did not lower his guard. He took out a kitchen knife and carefully opened the door. He only opened it a crack, but the head chef did not see anything through this crack.

There was a tunnel outside. Although there were lights in the tunnel, these lights were dim, making the tunnel also seem dim.

The head chef felt a chill in his heart and started to feel a little afraid. Very few people came to this secret room. It was rumored that this was a place where prisoners were being held and interrogated. It did not seem very auspicious.

In fact, Wei Huo had accidentally found a mineral vein when he’d built the underground shelter. After digging up, he had thought that it was too empty. He had thus built a tunnel and a few more rooms at the end of the tunnel.

That was why this place was very remote. No one would come here, and bad rumors had started spreading.

Humans liked to scare themselves.

The head chef was a little afraid, but he still closed the door. No matter what happened today, nothing could stop him from doing what he was about to do next.

Humanity’s two greatest instincts were survival and reproduction.

The head chef was about to turn into a beast controlled by instinct. He removed his belt and seemed like he was about to take off his pants. However, at that moment, a b.u.t.ton on his pants popped, probably because he was too fat.

The b.u.t.ton came undone, causing his pants to fall. The head chef took a step forward and tripped over his own pants. He fell onto the table and overturned it.

The head chef’s face was swollen from the fall. He struggled to get up. The water that spilled spread out and flowed under his feet. He lifted his pants and had a bad feeling. At that moment, a light bulb lit up above his head.

“Is there a ghost!?”

The head chef was terrified. Soon, the light over his head went out. Sparks flashed, and a naked electric wire fell from the ceiling and landed on the water under the head chef’s feet.

“Zap!”

There was an electric current. The head chef’s hair stood on end, and his eyes widened. He fell to the ground and started twitching. Soon, white smoke started being emitted from his body.

At first, Zhang Yuwen was terrified. However, when the lights went out, she heard the head chef’s twitching voice, followed by a burned smell and an oily fragrance. She felt disgusted at the thought that this scent was coming from a human.

Wei Huo ‘saw’ this scene. His Divine Thought spread out, and he was the one who had knocked three times on the door. He had set up a Luck Severance Formation on the door of the secret chamber and stolen over 40 points of the head chef’s luck. A second later, the head chef died like the protagonists and supporting characters in ‘Final Destination’.

Based on Wei Huo’s current abilities, he could only take away 50 luck points at a time. By right, the Luck Severance Skill could take away 50 luck points from a person. However, the head chef did not seem to end up with negative luck. All his remaining luck had been taken away by Wei Huo.

The chef, who had run out of luck, was killed by accident.

Wei Huo flipped through the Luck Severance Skill. That was a result of him only mastering the basics. If he studied the Luck Severance Skill thoroughly, would any creature below the Legendary rank be killed easily?

Moreover, even if a Legendary-level player could suppress their luck, they would still be affected by the Luck Severance Skill, which would cause them to lose their good luck for some reason. It would be difficult for them to improve further until their lifespan was exhausted. They could only die and vanish.

The Luck Severance Skill was terrifying!

However, Wei Huo felt something unusual when he used the Luck Severance Skill. It seemed like something had tainted his soul. It seemed like luck could not be endless.

Everything in the world was closely related to everything else. If one stole someone else’s luck, one would probably be infected by karma and eventually be punished.

Wei Huo thought about it and added a few words on the last page of the Luck Severance Skill.

“Be careful using Luck Severance; there might be trouble!”

Wei Huo’s handwriting had not been very good initially, but since he had become a Domain Realm expert, he would use Dao runes when he wrote. There was an aura of nirvanic destruction. The aura penetrated the paper and hit him. Although the words were not written very well, they were terrifying. They were more eye-catching than the countless neat words in front of him.

Most importantly, he had subconsciously added two punctuation marks. This made the ancient book, which did not have any punctuation marks, seem very weird. It destroyed the antiquity of the book.

After Wei Huo finished writing the eight words and two punctuation marks, he could not help but imagine. He felt like he had become an old man again. If this book was pa.s.sed down, would it be possible for the protagonist to obtain it in a few hundred years? Would there be unlimited conjectures because of those words?
