Chapter 178 The Road

Chen Luo didn't have many cigarettes in his space, only about twenty thousand, worth just over ten million.

He was planning to save them for future core members, which was enough.

Whether ordinary members had cigarettes or not, Chen Luo didn't care.

Chen Luo smiled and said, "Tell me what it is."

Song Ling nodded cautiously.

"It's like this. A very powerful awakened one suddenly appeared on our side, named Jiang Wu, and he's competing with us for supplies and survivors."

"That's fine, but Brother Hai doesn't want to conflict with him. However, this guy is crazy and too arrogant, yelling that a mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. He threatened that if Brother Hai doesn't become his lackey, he will destroy us."

"This person is really powerful. He easily killed more than a dozen of our people who were alone, including many experts, most of whom were level two awakened ones."

"Brother Hai can't deal with him, so he has no choice but to ask you for help."

One person against more than a dozen, many of whom were level two?

It was definitely not level three; the gap between level two and level three wasn't that big.

At least level four, but probably not level five.

Unless someone had a steady stream of high-level crystals from the very beginning of the apocalypse and also had great talent, they might be able to reach level five like Chen Luo.

At the beginning, Chen Luo absorbed some garbage crystals, so despite having great talent, he couldn't grow quickly.

After reaching level five, because he didn't have high-level crystals, and the two level four crystals were given to Fawang and Mi Fan, his strength increased very slowly.

Fawang also reached level four with the help of level four crystals.

Could this person's talent exceed Fawang's?

Absolutely impossible.

Chen Luo quickly had an answer in his mind. This person probably had a stroke of luck like Leng Chen and obtained a high-level crystal, and also had good talent, which allowed him to advance to level four.

Even if this person had an extremely small probability of being level five like Chen Luo, Chen Luo was confident he could kill him.

Chen Luo thought to himself that the high-level crystal on this person probably hadn't been fully absorbed yet. Killing him would also allow him to obtain his crystal.

A level four crystal and a crystal of at least level six, or even level seven.

This deal was worth doing.

Chen Luo didn't care about Zhao Hai's gratitude, but he was a little tempted by these two crystals.

Out of caution, Chen Luo asked, "What type of awakened one is this person, and how did he kill those dozen people?"

Song Ling said, "He should be a physical type, relying on brute force to kill our people without any skills."

A pure level four physical type had roughly the same defense as Chen Luo.

Chen Luo thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Alright, I'll go take a look with you."

Song Ling was very excited when he heard this and cupped his fist in thanks: "Thank you, Brother Chen."

If he didn't have Void Walk, Chen Luo wouldn't risk it.

Chen Luo said, "Let's not waste time. I won't keep you for lunch; let's go now."

Every minute later would allow Jiang Wu to absorb more of the high-level crystal.

Song Ling couldn't wait for Chen Luo to leave.

Chen Luo told Song Ling to wait at the door while he turned around, picked up Mi Fan, and asked.

"Mi Fan, do you think there will be any danger on this trip?"

If Mi Fan said there was danger, Chen Luo wouldn't go.

Mi Fan thought for a moment and said, "Probably not, I don't feel anything."

What did "probably" mean?

Chen Luo felt a little dangerous.

Chen Luo cautiously asked, "Is there danger or isn't there?"

Mi Fan carefully sensed it: "No, you can go in peace."

Go in peace? (Euphemism for dying)

Chen Luo: "..."

For Mi Fan, I'll take this risk.

The higher the level, the stronger the awakened ability. Similarly, after Mi Fan advanced, even if he didn't comprehend any new abilities, the accuracy of his perception would increase.

For Mi Fan to reach level four sooner, Chen Luo felt it was worth going in peace.

Chen Luo picked up Mi Fan, if we're going in peace, we'll go together.

He told Fawang to stay behind and watch the house. The current Fawang could handle a hundred enemies without a problem.

Xia Haoran said, "Brother Chen, let me go with you; it's good to have someone to look after you."

Chen Luo smiled and refused. If they encountered danger, it would be the same whether Xia Haoran was there or not; Xia Haoran would only be a burden.

Xia Haoran's strength was still low.

Song Ling drove a golden Bentley and two SUVs.

If it weren't to make Chen Luo more comfortable on the road, Song Ling wouldn't have driven this car.

Song Ling opened the car door for Chen Luo while holding the roof to prevent Chen Luo's forehead from accidentally hitting it.

It was obvious that Song Ling was very skilled at this.

Only Chen Luo sat in the back of the Bentley, with Song Ling driving.

Even though the SUVs behind were a little crowded, Song Ling didn't let anyone else ride in the same car as Chen Luo.

He had to say, Chen Luo was given enough face, and Chen Luo was very comfortable with the flattery.

Chen Luo jokingly said, "This car is not bad."

Song Ling immediately said, "Brother Chen, if you like it, I'll send it to you later, or you can drive it back when you return."

"When we get to Brother Hai's place, if you like anything, just say the word, and Brother Hai will definitely not be reluctant."

Chen Luo smiled slightly. Song Ling and Zhao Hai had a good grasp of social skills.

There were scattered zombies on the road, but Chen Luo didn't have to take action. The people behind him consciously got out of the car to clear them away.

When there were more zombies, Chen Luo didn't mind helping them clear them, since Song Ling was being very flattering.

Zhao Hai's place wasn't far away; they took a detour of just over ten miles and arrived in less than an hour.

Zhao Hai's base was in a Golden Dragon residential area. Although it wasn't big, the environment was very good.

The gate of the residential area was tightly closed, and there were guards.

Zhao Hai's base also had walkie-talkies, but Zhao Hai seemed to be waiting for Chen Luo and didn't use them. As soon as Chen Luo entered, Zhao Hai greeted him.

Zhao Hai walked over with a grateful expression: "Brother Chen, thank you so much for coming to help. I, Zhao Hai, will remember this kindness in my heart. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."

Chen Luo chuckled. That's what he said last time too.

Just listen to the pleasantries; you'll lose if you take them seriously.

After this is over, let me see what good things you have in your base. I certainly won't be polite.

Since their last parting, Zhao Hai had lost more than twenty people to Chen Luo, but now the number had increased instead of decreasing, with nearly one hundred and fifty people.

Zhao Hai's conditions for accepting people weren't as strict as Chen Luo's. As long as you dared to kill zombies with the team, or looked good, regardless of gender, age, or size, everyone was welcome.

There were still enough supplies now to support everyone, but he couldn't guarantee what they would eat.

The new members who had joined Zhao Hai's group hadn't seen Chen Luo in action at the time, and they were now looking at Chen Luo strangely. They knew that Zhao Hai had asked for help and thought he was asking for a large group of people.

Who would have thought it would be just one young man?

Just one person.

He was handsome, but what was the use of being handsome?

What a disappointment.
