Chapter 1 The Meat

Li Ming and Li Hui left the residential area to search for zombies.

If they were afraid of zombies, they wouldn't have dared to run all the way from the city to Chen Luo's place.

They had killed quite a few zombies. The blood on the fire axe in Li Ming's hand belonged to zombies.

At the beginning of the apocalypse, they didn't dare to face zombies. They were forced to.

Soon, they ran into two zombies.

Li Hui was the first to attack. A black light emerged from her hand. To ensure accuracy, she waited until the zombies were close before releasing it.

Facing the approaching zombies, Li Hui was a little nervous, but still calm.

The black light accurately hit one of the zombies. From the outside, it didn't seem to have any injuries, but its speed became extremely slow.

As slow as a tortoise, like slow motion.

Dark-type curses caused slowed movement.

Who would have thought that Li Hui, a young girl, was a dark-type ability user, with an awakening probability similar to that of the light-type.

The zombies, who had been moving together, were now one in front and one behind, meaning they only had to deal with one zombie at a time.

Li Ming skillfully chopped the zombie's head with the fire axe, using the back of the axe instead of the blade, fearing it would get stuck.

Li Ming was a physical-type ability user with good strength. He knocked the zombie to the ground with two axe blows.

The remaining one was even easier to deal with. It took the zombie a full three seconds from swinging its claws to hitting its target, and that was only if the zombie could actually attack.

If Li Hui released Slow Movement twice, they could kill the zombies more safely, but it wasn't necessary.

When they encountered lone zombies, Li Hui wouldn't attack, only letting Li Ming take action.

If it was a group of zombies, like four or five, they would normally avoid them, but to complete Chen Luo's task as soon as possible, Li Hui repeatedly cast Slow Movement.

Li Hui sighed and said, "Brother, it seems the existence of crystals isn't a secret. I thought only we knew."

Li Ming laughed, "There are plenty of smart people. That person asked us to kill ten, so we'll kill twenty to prove ourselves."

Soon, the two exceeded Chen Luo's task.

Chen Luo, however, encountered a little trouble.

Wang Guofu was a homeowner in the same villa district as Chen Luo. Before the apocalypse, he was in the real estate business and had a decent-sized operation, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to afford a villa here. He was rich.

He had a telescope at home and usually used it to observe the entrance of the residential area, checking for any rescue teams. Due to the angle, he couldn't see Chen Luo's place.

But today, he had a whim and climbed onto the roof to see further.

Inadvertently, Wang Guofu saw Chen Luo's place.

A group of girls, a few guys. Wang Guofu recognized one of the guys, he almost entered his house a few days ago, but gave up after seeing someone.

Wang Guofu's telescope was top-notch, worth 100,000 yuan, with excellent clarity.

The braised pork on the table caught his eye, and Wang Guofu immediately swallowed his saliva.

He was used to eating big fish and big meat, delicacies every meal. Trapped in the residential area, he had to eat junk food, which he endured because he had no choice.

But seeing the braised pork, he couldn't resist it at all. He only had one thought in his mind: he wanted to eat meat.

Wang Guofu returned to the house, opened the safe, thought for a moment, took out 100,000 yuan in cash, and then took out two gold bars.

Was there anything money couldn't buy?

Spending 10,000 yuan to buy a bowl of braised pork should be enough, right?

Wang Guofu paused, considered it, and tucked a black object under the pillow on the bed into his waistband.

A handgun.

His background wasn't clean, starting with shady dealings. He also had a fondness for guns and had secretly kept one for self-defense.

Wang Guofu muttered to himself, "I'm going to eat that braised pork."

"Sigh, a tiger fallen on hard times. Wang Guofu, reduced to begging for a bowl of braised pork. At least two bowls."

Soon, he arrived near Chen Luo's place, smiling and saying, "Hello everyone, seeing that we're all neighbors and in trouble, can you give me a bowl of meat? I'm really starving."

Wang Guofu's eyes glanced at the ground and he was immediately stunned. A black dog was eating meat.

Only eating meat, not vegetables.

Wang Guofu cursed inwardly. What kind of times were these? Feeding meat to a dog? Wouldn't it be better to kill the dog and eat its meat?

At the same time, Wang Guofu felt confident. If even a dog was eating meat, it meant these people had a lot of meat.

If a dog had meat to eat, shouldn't I?

Humans were better than dogs, right?

A group of young people, young girls, must be easy to talk to.

Chen Luo didn't speak. He couldn't be the one to handle everything.

Chen Luo gave Fang Yu a look, and Fang Yu understood. He stood up and said, "Sorry, we don't have enough to eat either."

Indeed, they rarely had meat to eat.

Wang Guofu was furious. Were they lying through their teeth? What was that dog eating? Did they think he was blind?

Angry inside, Wang Guofu still said with a smile, "I won't eat for free. I'll buy it with money. How about 10,000 yuan for a pound of cooked braised pork?"

"I have 100,000 yuan here. I'll buy ten pounds."

This was a sky-high price. Even during the tensest times, a pound of pork wouldn't sell for 10,000 yuan. No matter how amazing the hotel was, it wouldn't dare to sell it like that.

Fang Yu chuckled, "Not selling."

Wang Guofu raised the price, "50,000 yuan a pound, isn't that enough? Young people, don't be too greedy. I have 100,000 yuan and two gold bars here. Isn't it fair to exchange them for five pounds of meat?"

Fang Yu still shook his head.

Wang Guofu had always been overbearing and arrogant before the apocalypse. In normal times, he would have had his underlings smash the place.

Now he was on the verge of rage.

Shu Yun's words made Wang Guofu completely lose it.

Shu Yun stood up and said, "If you're hungry, I have two packs of instant noodles here, but you have to exchange them for something. If you don't have anything, you can kill zombies and exchange them for the crystals in their heads."

Chen Luo didn't plan to trade the secrets of the crystals with those who didn't know, because they were all poor and hadn't absorbed any crystals, so they were weak. What could they offer?

Wang Guofu was completely enraged. They were eating meat, and he was eating instant noodles?

And he still had to exchange something for it.

Just because he wasn't showing his power, did they think he didn't have a temper?

Wang Guofu took out the handgun from his waist, pointed it at everyone, and roared, "All of you, get down and put your hands on your heads! Damn it, I'm giving you face and you don't want it!"

Wang Guofu held the handgun, constantly pointing it at everyone present.

Except for Chen Luo, everyone's faces showed some panic.

The power of firearms was deeply imprinted in everyone's minds. Even if they became ability users, they would subconsciously feel fear.

Chen Luo, however, was disdainful. With this kind of small handgun, he wouldn't even die after all the bullets were shot. No matter where he was hit, serious injury was impossible.

An ability user's spells, even a level one ability user, could seriously injure a zombie. Could a small handgun do that?

And a level one spell, hitting Chen Luo, a level four ability user, would only cause minor injuries, let alone a handgun.

Otherwise, why didn't Mu Tiange and his group focus fire to kill that level five fire zombie that day?

At most, it would have been a minor injury.

Chen Luo was a little weaker than it, but not by much.

Wang Guofu shouted, "This is too much! Giving meat to a dog, but not sharing any with me!"
