What was unexpected was that the strengthened zombie didn't turn around, nor did it attack H灰熊 (Hui Xiong). It simply raised its head and glanced upwards. Seeing that Li Chenzhou was still wandering on the rooftop, it lowered its head again and looked at the car below.

"..."

H灰熊 (Hui Xiong) and Duan Lei were both speechless. Duan Lei quickly released his finger, abandoning the idea of injuring the zombie's leg.

After his initial surprise, H灰熊 (Hui Xiong) couldn't help but step forward and pat the zombie on the shoulder, but the zombie seemed not to feel anything, completely ignoring H灰熊 (Hui Xiong).

"What... is up with this guy?"

Being ignored by a zombie for the first time, H灰熊 (Hui Xiong) couldn't help but complain:

"Could it be that it thinks I'm a zombie?"

"Impossible, zombies have a very keen sense of smell, they wouldn't be able to smell the difference!"

Duan Lei shook his head. Even as intelligent as he was, Duan Lei couldn't figure out what was going on with this zombie, so he tentatively launched a mental control attack on the zombie!

At the instant the mental control was launched, Duan Lei was surprised to find that not only did he immediately and completely control the zombie, he also obtained some information.

After carefully analyzing the information he obtained, Duan Lei finally understood why this zombie was so strange.

"Let's go! Let's go back. I think老大 (Lao Da) will be interested in these things!"

Duan Lei didn't immediately tell H灰熊 (Hui Xiong) the information he had obtained. Anyway, he would have to tell Li Chenzhou about it when they got back, so he might as well tell them both at the same time.

H灰熊 (Hui Xiong) also knew this, so he didn't press the issue, but looked at the zombie that was being controlled by Duan Lei and said:

"What about this guy? Just kill it?"

Duan Lei's mental control had a time limit, and now that he knew the zombie's information, there was naturally no need to keep it.

"No! Take it back, let老大 (Lao Da) decide!"

Duan Lei shook his head with a smile, then added:

"This guy... has been permanently controlled by me! Unless a being with even stronger mental power than mine controls it again, it will forever obey my orders!"

"Ah?"

H灰熊 (Hui Xiong) was stunned, looked at the strengthened zombie, and said in surprise:

"Although this guy is only a level one strengthened zombie, and you are level two, which extends the control time, it shouldn't be permanent, right?"

That's right, Duan Lei was now a level two Awakened, and also the strongest follower under Li Chenzhou, because of his talent, his mental power had reached the full value of 80. The only regret was that his other three attributes were still a pitiful 10 points.

Fortunately, they now had the Dark Blood spatial war chariot, which provided Duan Lei with a certain degree of security. Otherwise, once in battle, Duan Lei was likely to become the biggest weakness in the entire team, especially later on.

Because once his mental power was exhausted, his own strength would only be that of a top ordinary person. Any level one enhancer could easily beat him to a pulp!

And in the mid-apocalypse, low-level enhancers and low-level strengthened zombies were everywhere. Duan Lei, with his extreme attributes, would definitely have the lowest survivability, only slightly stronger than ordinary people.

As for H灰熊 (Hui Xiong) and the others, they were still in level one state. It's not that Li Chenzhou was unwilling to part with evolution potions. Five hundred slaughter points were nothing to him now; strengthening the war chariot had cost him ten or twenty thousand.

The main reason was that when using evolution potions, the higher one's own attribute values, the higher the attribute values that would be increased, and the higher the probability of obtaining skills.

Anyway, they now had Dark Blood, and using the evolution potion only took a few minutes, so Li Chenzhou planned to wait until the main attributes of the others were at full value before giving them the evolution potion!

Because the follower's combat power value was displayed, Li Chenzhou was able to know the main attribute values of H灰熊 (Hui Xiong) and the others. When H灰熊 (Hui Xiong) started, his combat power was eighteen, which meant his main attribute value was eighteen, only two points away from full value.

And now, the follower panel showed that H灰熊 (Hui Xiong)'s combat power had reached 19, only one point away from full value, so Li Chenzhou was not in a hurry.

Tian Ya and Fatty were the same; whoever's attribute value reached full value would get the evolution potion.

Duan Lei didn't have these concerns, because his other attributes couldn't be improved and were all ten points, while his mental attribute, due to his talent, automatically reached full value and doubled after upgrading. Therefore, Li Chenzhou could actually just keep increasing his level.

An evolution potion only cost five hundred slaughter points. Although the success rate decreased with the level, it was still no problem to stack it up to level five or six. Even if it was upgrading from level six to level seven, there was still a 30% success rate. Using ten or twenty evolution potions, he could definitely get there.

You had to know that in his previous life, for ten years, Li Chenzhou had never seen a level seven evolver. If he directly boosted Duan Lei to level seven, even if he was a mental type, their team should be able to walk sideways in this world.

Unfortunately, Li Chenzhou didn't dare.

Because of the pig-raising idea he had before, and the farmer conjecture, Li Chenzhou suspected that if he really stacked Duan Lei's level to seven or eight, would the mastermind behind the scenes immediately appear and take Duan Lei away? Because he was "fat" enough to be slaughtered!

Therefore, Li Chenzhou had also discussed this matter with Duan Lei, and Duan Lei agreed with Li Chenzhou's idea, and suggested that everyone in their team should temporarily suppress their levels. They couldn't desperately improve their levels just because they had evolution potions.

Before they figured out some things, they only needed to maintain their strength so that they wouldn't lag behind other creatures in this world, especially since they also had a spatial war chariot.

And Duan Lei also suggested that if the target of the mastermind behind the scenes was high-level life forms, then they should slow down the speed of improving their own strength and only focus on improving the team's strength.

This sounded a bit contradictory, because only when they became stronger could the team become stronger, but with the Dark Blood war chariot, it was different.

This car could be strengthened with slaughter points, and since the car was not a life form, they didn't have to worry about it at all.

This was the main reason why Li Chenzhou would rather spend tens of thousands of slaughter points to strengthen Dark Blood than directly increase Duan Lei's level in one go.

Li Chenzhou had decided that they wouldn't rush to level up. Unless they encountered enemies they really couldn't defeat, they would strengthen in batches. Moreover, Li Chenzhou had already distributed strengthening potions to everyone. Anyway, everyone had their own room in the war chariot, so they could just put them in the room and use them whenever necessary!

Even Li Chenzhou himself was still a level two Awakened and hadn't used the evolution potion again to increase his evolution level...
