Chapter 76

Chen Luo looked atMi Lings smug smile and shook his head slightly, feeling a sense of admiration.

Very well, Mi Ling. You have successfully predicted my prediction?

Chen Luo chuckled, acknowledging Mi Lings formidable talent in battle, which earned her the title of Goddess of War, Blood-Red Rose Flame Princess.

Compared Chen Luo, Mi Ling was still much weaker. In a real fight, she would never have the opportunity to unleash so many fireballs.

If Mi Ling and Chen Luo were at the same level

No way, no way. You dont actually think Chen Luo would engage Mi Ling in a direct fight, do you?

Ill make my escape first. Ill find an opportunity to take you down from the shadows.

A formidable opponent, Ill never engage you head-on, its too dangerous.

You say I have no shame? Ha, the not so shameless ones are already dead.

Chen Luo wasnt feeling any pride either. These were controlled, weak little fireballs. If not for the fast frequency of her releases, it wouldnt have hit Chen Luo despite his carelessness.

The gap between her and Chen Luo was still too great.

Chen Luo laughed, Dont worry, theres no way a level one zombie possesses the intelligence for prediction. If you encounter one that can predict, just run. Its completely beyond what you can handle.

Alright, everyone, spend the morning training this technique with your respective partners. After lunch, well set off.

At noon, they had sausages for lunch, but many people feared they wouldnt live long enough to finish their meal.

Chen Luo said, We have a total of 52 people. 12 people will stay behind to guard the base, taking turns.

The remaining 40 people will form teams of 4, making ten teams in total. These ten teams should maintain a good distance from each other but stay close enough to provide mutual support.

Each team will have a walkie-talkie for communication in case of emergencies.

The dangers in the apocalypse not only came from zombies but also from other survivors. If everyone scattered too far apart, they might encounter dangerous situations when encountering larger groups of survivors.

With only four people, they wouldnt have to worry much about encountering one or two zombies since zombies dont run.

Upon hearing Chen Luos words, many people breathed a sigh of relief. They were truly afraid that Chen Luo would scatter them to different locations.

The teams were composed with an aim for a balance between genders, preferably having one physical combatant in each team.

Before setting off, Chen Luo calmly stated, At 6 PM or upon completing the mission, everyone should gather at the villa area. Todays mission is considered half a days work. Each person needs to collect three Level 1 crystals. If a team fails to complete the task, the entire team will be penalized, and there will be no dinner upon returning. Consider it as punishment.

The initial punishment was relatively light, but if teams consistently failed to complete their tasks, they would not be allowed to return until they succeeded.

The BUFF that Mi Li cast had stronger effects but required greater energy consumption, and she constantly cast it on Su Dazhu, who couldnt hold on for much longer.

While Su Dazhu wouldnt be in mortal danger, sustaining injuries was inevitable.

Chen Luo and the Thunderbolt King stepped forward, easily killing over two hundred zombies.

The proportion of first-level zombies was relatively low, around one-third of the total.

After checking the time, Chen Luo began to head back.

Upon Chen Luos return, everyone had gathered.

Those who were injured received some treatment from Wang Ling, their injuries werent severe.

However, what made everyones expression turn grim was the death of one person.

The deceased was a male member of Chen Guangs team, a first-level ability user, who was hit by a spell in the head and died on the spot.

Seeing the morale of the group drop, Chen Luo calmly said, Dont blame me for being too demanding and pushing you into battle. Its this world that is too cruel.

Originally, many people had doubted Chen Luos words. Were there really so many zombies capable of casting spells?

But in the afternoon, at least one-third of the zombies suddenly displayed spellcasting abilities.

If you dont move forward, the world will force you to move forward.

Chen Guang wryly smiled and said, Ah, this world of Cao Dan.

Two teams failed to complete the mission; Chen Luo didnt show any mercy. He starved them for a meal.

It was just one missed meal, not like they hadnt gone three days without food before, right?

In the evening, all the members absorbed first-level crystals. First-level crystals contained more than twice the energy of the lowest-level crystals, and their quality was completely different.

Shu Yun has reached the third level. Originally, she could only absorb 11 pieces of the lowest-level crystals in a day, but now she can only absorb 7 pieces of first-level crystals.

This is just one example. Most people can only absorb around 1.5 pieces. The remaining crystals are collected by Chen Luo.

Anyway, you can absorb as much as you can. Any excess should be handed over.

Chen Luo hopes that someone can absorb more because it indicates faster growth.
