"Loosen your mouth, I'll wipe it."

Su Dazhu thought the sea turtle was fun and wanted to tease it.

Who knew, the sea turtle bit his finger.

It can't be called a small sea turtle anymore. With Chen Luo's help, it had grown to a meter in length and possessed almost fourth-level strength.

This was the boss; the other three sea turtles were still small. Chen Luo concentrated his efforts on this one.

These four sea turtles, except for Chen Luo, didn't recognize anyone, not even Mi Li. They were full of aggressive desires.

If it weren't for Chen Luo's strict orders not to attack, they would have been killed by the Dharma King long ago.

Well, because they would attack the Dharma King's puppies.

The puppies could already run in just a few days. Full of energy, they ran wildly in the yard every day.

If they dared to bite the puppies, would the Dharma King spare them?

Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't bite people, but Su Dazhu teased the sea turtle, so he was bitten.

They didn't even hurt Su Dazhu, but they bit him tightly, and Su Dazhu couldn't break free.

Once they bit something, they wouldn't let go unless they died.

Chen Luo couldn't help but think of the miserable survivor he met before encountering the Sea Turtle King, the one whose little brother was bitten.

Chen Luo quickly said, "Let go."

The sea turtle glared at Su Dazhu. If it weren't for Mama saying so, it would have bitten him to death. How dare he touch its head?

Six adorable puppies poked their little heads out of the kennel, watching curiously, so fierce.

Su Dazhu grimaced, "Not cute at all."

Ma Yu looked at the animals in the yard and felt quite warm.

Chen Guang ran in to report, "Brother, a small group has joined us. The leader is actually a fifth-level. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Chen Guang wouldn't bother reporting individual stragglers.

Chen Luo became interested. A fifth-level?

The person who came was Zhao Ziyi's older brother, Zhao Zichen.

*Don't contact me anymore, I'm afraid Chen Luo will misunderstand.* Of course, that was Zhao Ziyi joking.

That girl was quite amusing.

Zhao Ziyi introduced the environment here and said proudly, "The boss values me very much. As soon as I arrived, he gave me a seventh-level mental-type crystal."

A seventh-level crystal?

Zhao Zichen couldn't imagine it. If his sister wasn't so plain-looking, he would have suspected Chen Luo had taken a fancy to her.

Zhao Ziyi emphasized one last thing: "There's an internet cafe here."

After hearing that, Zhao Zichen trotted over. He was an internet addict.

She should have said so sooner, really.

"Report your names."

"Zhao Zichen."

"Zhou Liang."

Zhao Zichen?

Chen Luo smiled and instantly understood why Zhao Ziyi had snuck in. She was the advance scout. But letting a girl run in, especially his own sister, Zhao Zichen really had a big heart.

Chen Luo walked over.

The members quickly greeted him respectfully.

"Boss."

"Boss."

Chen Luo nodded, walked up to Zhao Zichen, and asked, "I heard you're a fifth-level."

Zhao Zichen and the others also stared at Chen Luo with wide eyes. This fair-skinned, handsome guy was the boss of this base?

So young? They thought it would be a middle-aged man with a stern face.

Being able to give a seventh-level crystal to his sister, his strength was unimaginable.

Zhao Zichen nodded, "Yes."

Chen Luo asked again, "Did you rely on high-level crystals? When did you advance to fifth-level?"

Zhao Zichen said, "Two months ago, I absorbed a fifth-level crystal. I advanced to fifth-level a month ago."

Chen Luo's eyes lit up. This meant he had good talent. He would be at least a tenth-level in the future, and might even have the talent of a King-level.

He hadn't heard of these siblings, Zhao Zichen and Zhao Ziyi. They must have died young.

In the later stages of the apocalypse, there were more than a hundred King-levels, but there were at least several times, or even dozens of times, that number of people with King-level talent.

The vast majority of them died halfway or didn't have enough crystals to support their advancement.

In his previous life, Chen Luo could only absorb eight primary crystals but still reached above the King-level. Mi Li's talent was even better than Chen Luo's, but in the end, only Chen Luo reached above the King-level.

Was it because others didn't have the talent to go beyond the King-level?

Because the others were dead, which also counted as dying young.

Chen Luo said, "Zhao Zichen, since you are a fifth-level, I can directly give you the treatment of an ordinary member, but you still have to be in the new member area. After you get some points, you can officially transfer."

"The rest of you are all considered new members."

"Take them to eat first."

Zhao Zichen shamelessly said, "Now you are my big brother. Uh, can I go to the internet cafe after I complete today's task?"

Chen Luo smiled, "You can."

Oops, he forgot to use the existence of the internet cafe as promotion too.

In the afternoon, a severely injured member struggled to reach the gate of the base.

This was Song Ling's partner, returning to report and to tell Chen Luo Jin Yuang Jiang's request.

It started smoothly. As they were about to return to the base, they were attacked by zombies.

It was already a blessing that he could return.

Information gathering in the apocalypse wasn't easy, and delivering messages was difficult. Not everyone was like Chen Luo, able to travel safely alone or in small groups.

There were no women in the intelligence department. If a woman dared to walk alone on the roads after the apocalypse, she would be a meat bun thrown to the dogs, never to return.

After reporting the code, a Light-type immediately healed him. After recovering, he was brought before Chen Luo and told Chen Luo the message.

Jin Yuang Jiang's request was thirty cans of milk powder and regular supplies of vegetables?

Chen Luo smiled. That was much more expensive than Xia Haoran. Xia Haoran only wanted a bowl of chicken soup.

Chen Luo didn't hoard milk powder specifically before the apocalypse, but he had looted a lot of large supermarkets. He wouldn't dare say he had a lot, but he definitely had a few thousand cans.

All brands were available.

Did he have children?

Thinking in a more despicable direction, such a person was easier to control.

It was good to have attachments; there was no need to worry about his betrayal.

Unlike a certain wretched thing who shouted, *I'm full, the whole family isn't hungry.* You really couldn't do anything about him.

Did this condition pose a problem for Chen Luo?

Not at all.

He could agree, but Jin Yuang Jiang had to work hard to earn points and exchange them himself.

Jin Yuang Jiang grew to the King-level in his previous life and definitely had King-level talent. His combat power among the King-levels was not weak.

Chen Luo would still try his best to recruit such talent.

After thinking about it, Chen Luo decided to go in person. He didn't trust others to escort the supplies. By showing up himself, it would show his appreciation.

...

In the vast sea.

A large sea turtle struggled to move forward, its eyes full of coldness.

A thief had stolen its children.

Not a single one was left.

Too hateful.

It had a very good sense of direction and could sense where its children were. If it wanted to find them, it could definitely find them.

However, that thief had very magical abilities, and it really wasn't confident that it could keep that thief there.

The Sea Turtle King remembered that it had an old friend it had known for many years. As its strength increased, its friend's strength had become even greater.

The Sea Turtle King decided to go find it and find the hateful thief together.

The Sea Turtle King's speed in the sea was very fast, faster than a car running on land. Even so, it took three days to reach its destination.

Seeing a figure, the Sea Turtle King breathed a sigh of relief. It was home; it hadn't left.

This was a large clam, really big, with an overall black color.

The Sea Turtle King gently touched it, and it actually revealed an upper body that was a humanoid form.

The two creatures began to communicate.

"Friend, help me."

"I can, but you have to wait a few days. I will have a breakthrough in a few days, and my strength will greatly increase."

The Sea Turtle King nodded in agreement.

He thought you went to shake turtle (yao gui - slang for finding help), but unexpectedly, you really went to shake people (yao ren - similar sounding, meaning finding people).

...

The above is two thousand three hundred words.

Uh, I don't have any drafts. I'm currently ranked 34th with 11,000 popularity. With just a thousand more followers, I'll be stable.

If I enter the top thirty, I'll update eight chapters next weekend. If I miss one, I'll make up for two, so don't worry about me not being able to do it.

I'll start saving drafts from today.
