"Dazhuang, meet me at the usual place tomorrow."

Upon receiving Chen Luo's message, Dazhuang readily agreed.

*Sob*, it's not that I want to be this obedient, but in the apocalypse, one can't help oneself.

If you don't give me the antidote soon, I'm going to die from the poison.

The next day, Dazhuang set off early for the place he had agreed to meet Chen Luo, cautiously all the way, for fear of encountering a large group of survivors.

When he was still more than seven hundred meters away, Dazhuang suddenly stopped and took out a level six lightning-type crystal from his pocket.

Dazhuang's face was uncertain. Judging from Big Brother's personality, he will definitely search me, so I definitely can't keep this crystal.

Absolutely not, is it easy for me, Dazhuang, to get a meal?

I have to hide it.

But where to hide it?

Dazhuang felt that nowhere was safe. If the crystal was gone when he came back, he would feel like dying.

Put it by my "little brother"?

Dazhuang thought it was a good idea, but then decisively gave up.

Don't think too highly of this "Big Brother." He's capable of anything.

Not safe.

Ah, I've got it. It's absolutely safe to put it there. If Big Brother really searches there, I'll admit defeat.

Dazhuang stuffed the crystal behind his butt. Fortunately, the level six crystal wasn't too big.

"Hiss."

Dazhuang hissed. Why does it feel a little numb? But it's still within a tolerable range.

Dazhuang felt relieved and ran towards the agreed location.

Stuffing it in deep just gives you freedom. I'm not afraid of it falling out.

From afar, Dazhuang heard Chen Luo's enthusiastic shout.

"Dazhuang, you're here."

Chen Luo couldn't hide the disappointment on his face. Why did Dazhuang come alone this time? He didn't bring any big shots.

"Why didn't you bring any big shots? I'm the kind of person who loves making friends."

Dazhuang explained, "I haven't seen any big shots lately."

Dazhuang cursed inwardly. If I bring someone, you say I'm too polite. If I don't bring anyone, you're disappointed.

Dazhuang's expression changed slightly. Why is it getting more and more numb?

Chen Luo suddenly started to get handsy.

Dazhuang exclaimed, "Hey, Big Brother, what are you doing?"

Chen Luo chuckled and said, "Brother, it's been so long since I've seen you. I'm just checking to see if you've lost weight."

"Dazhuang, you've lost weight. Big Brother is very worried."

Dazhuang's body trembled all over, but Chen Luo didn't think much of it.

Chen Luo didn't find anything.

Hey, Dazhuang isn't stupid. He's been burned once. Even if he got another good crystal, how could he still keep it on his body?

The lightning-type crystal entered his body and began to continuously release energy.

How could it not be numb?

Dazhuang's body trembled more and more, and his face turned pale.

I have to endure it, otherwise the crystal will be exposed.

"Hiss, ah."

Dazhuang was shaking like a sieve.

I want to endure it too, but I can't anymore.

It's too numb.

Dazhuang dug out the crystal.

Chen Luo: !!!

You're really something, Dazhuang.

Dazhuang collapsed powerlessly to the ground and couldn't help crying.

"Wuwu."

Not only was the crystal exposed, but he also suffered a beating for nothing.

I'm so miserable, so miserable.

Why did I rob Big Brother in the first place?

My miserable life started from then.

It's a sin.

Dazhuang cried more and more sadly.

Chen Luo looked speechlessly at the purple crystal that had fallen on the ground, which was slightly yellow.

A level six crystal.

Pah, even a dog wouldn't want it.

Chen Luo felt disgusted just holding it in his hand.

A level six crystal is of little use to Chen Luo, let alone the Dharma King.

Dazhuang made such a big sacrifice for this crystal. How could Chen Luo bring himself to take it?

Chen Luo said very sadly, "Dazhuang, what kind of person do you take me for? How could I possibly rob your crystal? I only borrowed the crystal last time."

Dazhuang stopped crying, "Really?"

Chen Luo nodded and said, "Don't doubt Big Brother's character. I came to you this time, first, to give you the antidote, and second, since it's almost the New Year, Big Brother thought of you being alone and brought you some dumplings."

Dazhuang was stunned for a moment, "What is the New Year? What are dumplings?"

Chen Luo explained a little, pretending to go back to the car to get the dumplings.

The dumplings were still piping hot, as if they had just come out of the pot. How could they get cold in the supernatural space?

Chen Luo took out an insulated box with two *jin* of dumplings in it. (Translator's Note: A jin is approximately 500 grams).

"The antidote is in one of the dumplings. You have to eat them all."

Dazhuang sobbed, "Big Brother, you're still worried about me, your little brother, during the New Year. I'm so touched. I'll definitely be loyal to Big Brother from now on."

Dazhuang devoured the dumplings like a whirlwind, not leaving a single one, for fear of missing the one with the antidote.

Dazhuang smacked his lips. The taste was so-so, not as good as fresh meat.

Chen Luo said, "Okay, Dazhuang, let's go our separate ways. Our relationship can't be exposed. We don't need to meet regularly anymore. Contact me proactively if you see any big shots. I'll also contact you proactively if I need anything."

Dazhuang nodded, "I'm leaving, Big Brother."

Watching Dazhuang's back, Chen Luo stroked his chin, always feeling that Dazhuang might be of great use in the future.

Dazhuang held the lightning-type crystal in his hand, constantly tossing it into the air and catching it, with a smug smile on his face.

"I pretended to be very touched. I wonder if I fooled Big Brother. He finally acted like a human being and didn't rob my crystal."

"I, Dazhuang, am about to reach level six."

Dazhuang showed a dazed expression again.

"New Year, dumplings?"

It seems a little familiar.

"Nothing tastes better than dumplings, nothing's more fun than..."

Dazhuang inexplicably remembered a sentence, but he couldn't remember the rest.

But it must be very fun.

"Hehehe."

Dazhuang walked and laughed. He doesn't have to worry about being poisoned for a month.

After upgrading his strength, he might be immune to Big Brother's poison.

Dazhuang's hehehe laughter attracted the attention of several figures.

They were the zombies who were hiding in the dark and observing when Chen Luo went to Xiong Wenhui's base a few days ago.

The zombie who looked like a refined young man looked at Dazhuang and said to the people around him.

"This companion has a rich expression on his face and looks unusually intelligent. Let's go and take a look."

Dazhuang squinted his eyes and looked at the figures that appeared in front of him. His intuition told him that the young man in the lead was very dangerous.

He's a big shot.

Wasn't Big Brother just looking for a big shot?

The refined young man smiled and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Bing Lin. What's your name?"

Dazhuang said, "My name is Dazhuang."

Bing Lin's eyes lit up. He has a name. He's really intelligent.

Bing Lin ordered a companion beside him, "Hei Lei, go and test his strength."

Hei Lei had been with Bing Lin the longest and had already reached level six.

Dazhuang had only known about the secret of the crystal for less than a month, and was only at the peak of level five.

Dazhuang was no match for the level six Hei Lei and was inexplicably beaten up.

Not only that, but the level six lightning-type crystal in Dazhuang's pocket also fell to the ground.

Hei Lei's eyes lit up, and he picked it up without hesitation.

"Hehe, it's mine."
