Killing one zombie earns one kill point. Fifty thousand kill points… that’s fifty thousand zombies! What kind of concept is that?

Seeing Duan Lei’s expression, Li Chenzhou smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said,

“Don’t worry. Fifty thousand zombies is a lot, but it's not an unattainable goal. Besides, we need to grow stronger bit by bit. Your skills and talents are too strong, so there are restrictions on other attributes. But you’re not alone, you have us!”

“My skills… are strong?”

Duan Lei asked. Although this guy was extremely clever, he hadn't experienced the apocalypse after all, so his vision was definitely incomparable to Li Chenzhou’s.

“Yes! Not just strong, but extremely powerful! Especially… your mental power is doubled, which gives you the possibility of fighting beyond your level.”

Li Chenzhou nodded and said,

“Especially now, it’s only the early stages of the apocalypse. Even in terms of attributes like strength and agility, you are stronger than others. At least, in this hotel, when it comes to physical fitness, you are definitely the strongest. What you lack is just experience!”

Hearing Li Chenzhou’s words, Duan Lei suddenly froze, then his eyes turned red.

He now remembered that they had only encountered one strengthened zombie, and Li Chenzhou had risked his life to kill it. But after obtaining the crystal core, Li Chenzhou had unhesitatingly given it to him.

So, in this four-person team, he was still the only evolver. Even Li Chenzhou was still an ordinary person at this time.

Before last night, he was a cripple whose legs had no feeling. If Li Chenzhou hadn't happened to choose their convenience store, rushed in, and pulled down the shutters, sealing off the store, he and Duan Xue would probably have joined the zombie ranks by now.

But now, not only were he and his sister still alive, but he had become a superhuman. At this moment, Duan Lei was extremely grateful for his choice last night, and his gratitude to Li Chenzhou was beyond words.

However, Duan Lei didn’t say much. Pretty words were useless. As for what he should do in the future, Duan Lei was very clear in his mind.

“Take this! Practice your marksmanship more when you have time. Your physical fitness is limited, so practice ranged attacks more. This will also give you another way to attack!”

Li Chenzhou took out a pistol and two bottles of injections and handed them to Duan Lei, saying:

“The red injection is the healing potion you used before. Except for being unable to cure the zombie virus or limb loss, it can quickly restore other injuries. The blue injection is for replenishing mental power, keep it for emergencies!”

“Okay!”

Duan Lei reached out and took it without saying a word.

Then, a set of black clothes appeared in Li Chenzhou’s hand, and he reached out and handed them to Duan Xue:

“I know you’re a girl, but now it’s the apocalypse, and you have to try fighting zombies! This is a set of combat uniforms that can withstand the bites of ordinary zombies. Go to the bathroom and change!”

Duan Xue looked at the clothes, then at Li Chenzhou, suddenly took a breath, and nodded vigorously:

“Okay! Thank you!”

“Boss, why don’t… you take my sister in?”

When Duan Xue took the clothes and entered the bathroom, Duan Lei suddenly leaned over and said in a low voice.

“…”

Li Chenzhou couldn't help but look strangely at Duan Lei. Did this guy want to be a brother-in-law so much?

“No! Boss, I mean follower! Not… that… thing!”

Seeing Li Chenzhou’s expression, Duan Lei quickly shook his head.

“The followers I want are all combat types, because that’s how I can constantly earn kill points. Do you want your sister to also become that kind of warrior who charges to the front and fights zombies?”

Li Chenzhou asked Duan Lei.

“Yes!”

Duan Lei nodded without hesitation:

“Zombies won’t spare her just because she’s a girl. Although I will protect her, I still hope she has the strength to survive on her own. No team will want to carry a burden forever! In any world, people need to have their own value to exist.”

“Aren’t you afraid that she will… have an accident in battle?”

Li Chenzhou asked.

“Of course, I’m afraid! But fear can’t change anything. Just like this apocalypse, no one wants it to come, but it still came! It won’t change because of anyone’s will.”

Duan Lei said:

“If I’m destined to die in this apocalypse, then I’d rather be torn apart by zombies in battle, at least I’ll die more quickly.

Death itself isn’t scary, what’s scary is the process of waiting for death. If I avoid battle and dare not face zombies, then I’ve already entered the stage of waiting for death. I don’t want to enjoy that kind of life, and I don’t want my sister to try it!”

“Okay!”

Li Chenzhou nodded.

Duan Lei was right. No team would want to carry a burden forever. His intention in giving Duan Xue that combat uniform was also here. Even if Duan Lei didn’t say it, he would have let Duan Xue try to fight.

From the time Duan Lei left until Zhang Hu’s accident, they had killed a total of more than two hundred zombies, and that King Kong had also provided him with one hundred kill points.

So, before coming here, after deducting the cost of buying bullets, Li Chenzhou had 328 kill points left. Originally, he planned to save up to five hundred points first, buy an evolution potion, and become an evolver himself.

But after discovering Duan Lei’s talent, Li Chenzhou changed his mind.

Duan Lei’s ability was quite useful in this apocalypse, especially when encountering powerful mutated beasts and strengthened zombies, so Li Chenzhou simply gave his gun to Duan Lei, and also spent twenty kill points to buy him two bottles of potions.

As for Duan Xue, she was Duan Lei’s sister after all, and Duan Lei was even willing to go out as bait to attract zombies in order to get Li Chenzhou to take her in. Therefore, Li Chenzhou spent another one hundred kill points to exchange for a set of combat uniforms for her.

The entire set of combat uniforms included combat boots, pants, a shirt, a hat, and tactical gloves, which could withstand the damage of ordinary zombies and cold weapons. With this, Duan Xue’s safety would naturally be greatly improved.

With the remaining 208 kill points, Li Chenzhou spent one hundred to buy himself a narrow battle sword, and the remaining 108 were kept in reserve, just in case. Anyway, he could buy them at any time, and he could exchange a pistol immediately when he really needed it.

“Boss, next, we’re going to collect kill points, right? How are we going to do it? Are we going to use this place as a base and slowly clear the surroundings?”

Seeing that Li Chenzhou didn’t explicitly say that he would take Duan Xue as a follower, Duan Lei didn’t ask any more, but directly changed the subject.

Before Li Chenzhou could reply, Duan Xue, who had changed her clothes, walked out of the bathroom. Seeing the completely changed image of Duan Xue, Li Chenzhou and Duan Lei were stunned…
