Chapter 77

To Chen Luos satisfaction, after absorbing the crystals, everyone didnt idle around but instead started their training in evasion.

The death of a teammate in the afternoon had a profound impact on them, motivating them to work harder. They realized that the more effort they put in now, the greater their chances of survival in the future.

Chen Luo also began absorbing the crystals. As a Level 4, he could absorb around 65 pieces of Level 1 crystals at once. The Level 3 Thunderbolt King, on the other hand, could only absorb about 13 pieces.

For Chen Luo, the Level 1 crystals were of low quality since he had already reached Level 4. They barely had any effect on him. Chen Luo estimated that it would take him around 20 days to reach Level 5. In his previous life, he was lucky enough to achieve that level in just one month.

Youre right, the speed of Chen Luos progress wasnt significantly faster than in his previous life because in his previous life, when he was at Level 4, he mainly absorbed Level 3 crystals, which couldnt be compared to absorbing Level 1 crystals.

Its like Chen Luo being at Level 40 and fighting Level 10 monsters. If he can level up from that, its already quite good.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

On the second day, they continued to kill zombies. It was a good day as only one team member was seriously injured but was successfully rescued, and no one died. They also completed the task of obtaining five crystals.

However, the hearts of the team members grew heavier because the probability of encountering spellcasting zombies had doubled compared to the previous day.

Instead of encountering one spellcasting zombie out of three, they were now encountering two spellcasting zombies out of three.

The world is becoming increasingly difficult, and Chen Luo coldly observes that if they cant keep up with the evolution speed of the zombies, the casualties will only become more devastating.

If it werent for the survivors constantly killing zombies, causing a drastic decline in their numbers, there would eventually come a time when there were more survivors than zombies. But before the terrifying monsters appeared, humanity would be completely wiped out.

On the third day, there was a noticeable increase in the number of survivors heading to remote corners. These survivors were mostly in groups. They should consider themselves fortunate that they had the opportunity to gain experience and become stronger by fighting against zombies before they evolved to Level 1. It also allowed them to gather information about nearby survivors.

Unlike Chen Luo, they had almost no chance of surviving if they had to face the challenges alone.

Its better for them to unite and escape together, even if it means a slim chance of survival.

In the morning, Chen Luo witnessed two incidents. He killed one group because they brought it upon themselves by daring to harass his sister-in-law.

Chen Luo thought it necessary to strengthen the defense of the base and have more people stay behind, or perhaps have the mage guard the place.

Chen Luo and his group arrived near a bridge where several cars were parked by the grassy area. Around seven or eight men surrounded a man and a woman, while a few people near the cars pretended not to see anything, including female survivors.

The man and woman seemed to be father and daughter.

Chen Luo had keen hearing and twitched his lips as he overheard one man saying with a malicious tone, Little sister, Im sure you dont want to see your father get hurt, right?

Based on that statement alone, Chen Luo could infer what had happened.

Chen Luo thought to himself, Whats missing from this name?

Chen Luo nodded, Alright, as long as she follows the rules on our side.

He had to give face to Mi Li, and it wasnt like they were completely refusing new members. If Zhang Jingjing had some abilities and proved to be useful, it could be an unexpected gain.

In Zhang Jingjings mind, she wondered if Mi Li and the others followed this handsome guy in front of her.

Without asking Mi Ling, Zhang Jingjing directly asked Chen Luo, so it seemed.

Chen Luo said to Zhang Jingjings father, Zhang Dongcheng, Can you drive? Follow us in your car.

Zhang Dongcheng, who appeared to be a mild-mannered man in his forties, was grateful and said, Thank you for saving our lives. I can drive.

Chen Luo arranged for Zhang Dongcheng and his daughter to ride in a separate car.

Coincidentally, Chen Luo was planning to head back as well, as they had a good harvest in the morning.

Upon arriving at the villa area, Chen Luo said, Mi Li, arrange for your friend to stay with Shu Yun. We cant let her stay here.

Mi Li nodded.

However, Zhang Jingjing ran over and said, Mi Li, lets sleep together tonight.

They had slept together before, and Zhang Jingjing saw it as normal and a way to deepen their relationship.

Chen Luo coldly rejected her, No, without my permission, youre not allowed to enter this villa.

Having one third wheel like Mi Fan was enough. Did they need another one?

Shu Yun quickly came over and took Zhang Jingjing away.

For lunch, they had potato stir-fried with sausages, which was even more delicious than simply steamed sausages.

Chen Luo didnt know how many people would survive, but whoever managed to survive would have a good meal, if possible.

Zhang Jingjing gobbled down her food. In the past, as someone from a wealthy family, she never really cared about such things.

Then she remembered something and asked, Wheres Mi Li? Why didnt I see her? What did she have for lunch?
