Gu Changfeng fainted.

One of his men rolled his eyes and reached out towards Gu Changfeng.

If the boss had a crystal, it was most likely hidden on his body. That was the safest place. Besides, crystals weren’t big and were easy to carry.

The people’s hearts were scattered. This boss was too weak. He’d take the crystal and defect to Dawn City.

With a "slap," another person kicked him aside and was about to search Gu Changfeng.

Gu Changfeng's underlings started fighting among themselves, wanting to snatch the crystal from Gu Changfeng.

Gu Changfeng, who had just fainted, groggily opened his eyes and smiled miserably.

He had used them to gather power, but weren't these people using him to survive better?

I'm just a joke.

Gu Changfeng remembered a saying.

There’s no such thing as loyalty; it’s just that the price for betrayal isn’t high enough.

Gu Changfeng stood up coldly and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"I'm not dead yet."

The underlings next to him stopped fighting immediately when they saw this, silent as cicadas in winter.

Gu Changfeng was a bit weaker than Chen Luo; it was still easy for him to deal with them.

Gu Changfeng said something that made everyone dumbfounded.

"I want to join Dawn City too."

If you can't beat them, join them.

Gu Changfeng's heart was ashen. At this moment, he saw everyone as a potential traitor.

He had always been one to eliminate future troubles, and he had also heard about Chen Luo's style, which was the same.

Even if he handed over the crystal, he was afraid he would still be beaten to death.

Su Dazhu was also stunned. He didn't expect Gu Changfeng to say such a thing.

He had thought that if Gu Changfeng didn't hand it over, they would beat him to death, and if he tried to escape, they would use a human wall to block him.

Join?

How should this situation be handled?

Forget it, take him back and let Big Brother decide.

Hai Ji and Ning Shuang were about to have a sparring match to familiarize themselves with their powers.

Ning Shuang was wearing a blue cheongsam, which showed off her figure beautifully.

Mi Li had found it for her.

Ning Shuang had said goodbye to the seaweed era and loved her new clothes very much.

Ning Shuang whispered, "You're not allowed to ruin my dress. If you want to fight, hit my face, or I'll fight you to the death."

Facial injuries could heal, but damaged clothes couldn't be repaired.

Core members such as Mi Li, Mi Ling, Shu Yun, Xia Haoran, Jin Yuanjiang, etc., were all watching from a distance, letting them see the power of the King level.

Maybe it would give them some insights.

In addition, Yuri was also nearby.

At the branch base, Chen Luo planned to send him to Xu Qing's place, in an intermediate position, so that the three bases could be connected, and he could also contact Chen Luo here.

Zhao Ziyi couldn't communicate over such a long distance. Zhao Ziyi's core task was still to contact Da Zhuang.

Therefore, it was necessary to knock Yuri into shape.

Yuri looked around furtively. Leaving this base, without Chen Luo's supervision, he might have a chance to escape.

Should he escape or not? Yuri hesitated.

Although he was only an ordinary member, it wasn't worse than living alone.

Apart from the restriction of freedom, it didn't seem so bad.

Yuri was a homebody anyway; going out or not was all the same to him.

Su Dazhu came over: "Big Brother, that Gu Changfeng said he wants to join our base. I think this kid is up to no good and might sabotage us in secret."

Chen Luo was stunned. Gu Changfeng wanted to join?

The poor kid was badly hit. Was he planning to hold his breath and take revenge?

Chen Luo thought for a while and said, "Bring him over."

Gu Changfeng lowered his head, wanting to learn how to show a flattering smile to show weakness.

But he showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

Chen Luo said lightly, "Watch from the side for now."

The location for Ning Shuang and Hai Ji's duel was a large open space outside the base, which had been cleared and became a restricted area.

Gu Changfeng raised his head and looked in shock at the two women flying in the air.

Flying?

"Frost Ripple."

Hundreds of meters wide, nearly twenty meters high, endless ice headed towards Hai Ji.

This happened in an instant. Gu Changfeng felt that before he could even blink, the ice had reached Hai Ji from hundreds of meters away.

Gu Changfeng was terrified. What kind of power was this?

An ice-type Awakened?

At this stage, ice-type Awakeners could only produce small ice blocks and ice arrows.

He had also seen the Frost Ripple ability, but it was at most a dozen meters in range.

Are these people even human?

Not to mention Gu Changfeng, even Mi Ling, Shu Yun, and others widened their eyes, unable to believe it.

Shu Yun was also an ice-type, and murmured, "This, this."

Even hundreds of meters away, they could feel the terrifying power and the reduced temperature.

A huge dark hand blocked Hai Ji's path and extended infinitely, grabbing towards Ning Shuang.

The two traded blows.

A huge dark eye stood high in the sky, constantly spitting out chilling rays of death like infinite energy.

Even the taciturn Xia Haoran opened his mouth wide. Just one ray would probably be enough to wipe him out in his current state.

Yuri almost collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with horror, but he stared intently, unwilling to look away.

Such a battle was too shocking for them.

Chen Luo smiled lightly. The talents of these people present might not be weaker than Hai Ji and Ning Shuang, and some individuals might even be stronger than them in the future.

Hai Ji and Ning Shuang had only become so powerful at this time because they had taken mysterious substances.

If he had given Mi Ling, Shu Yun, and others an endless supply of King-level crystals from the beginning of the apocalypse, they would probably have reached the King level long ago.

The battle ended, stopping before going too far.

Ning Shuang ran back to Mi Li's side. She and Mi Li were very compatible.

Mi Li took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Ning Shuang's forehead.

Ning Shuang smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister."

!!!

Ning Shuang had originally wanted to take Chen Luo as her younger brother because she felt lonely, but after meeting Mi Li, she forgot about it instantly.

Mi Li was half a year older than her, and Ning Shuang had been calling her "Sister" all this time.

Chen Luo: My King-level Sister.

Mi Li: My King-level Little Sister.

Hai Ji ran over and said coldly to Gu Changfeng, "Go away, you're in the way."

Gu Changfeng was so scared that his legs went weak, afraid that Hai Ji would give him a ray of death.

Then Hai Ji changed to a smiling face: "Is Little Brother tired of standing?"

The crowd dispersed, but the shocking battle scene would not disappear from their minds for a while.

Chen Luo left Gu Changfeng behind.

"Awakeners range from Level 1 to Level 10. Above Level 10, I call it the King level. The battle you just saw was between two King-level Awakeners."

"The further you go, the harder it is to improve your strength, and the bigger the gap becomes."

The unspoken message was, what makes you think you can fight me, Gu Changfeng?

Is the gap between us something that one or two high-level crystals can fix?

Gu Changfeng said bitterly, "How is it possible to become so powerful at this stage?"

It was one thing to be powerful, but they were also two stunning beauties.

Chen Luo didn't answer, and said lightly, "You have good talent. I'm a little reluctant to kill you, but only a little reluctant."

"I'm willing to give you a chance. You're not stupid; you should know how to correct your attitude."

Gu Changfeng really couldn't muster the will to resist. This Chen Luo had two King-level combatants, so how strong must he himself be?

He would give Gu Changfeng one day. When the time came, Chen Luo would take Mi Fan to sense him. No matter how good your acting skills were, it would be useless.

If he didn't work out, he would kill him.
