Chapter 330 A Feeling of Powerlessness (+50)

"The highest level of zombies nowadays should be level four. Without the impurity-free crystal cores of adults, the highest level of human ability would probably only be level four. But now there are level five zombies, and there are quite a few level four ability users. The balance has been broken."

Humans, who should have been struggling to survive and level up, have seen their strength improve to varying degrees thanks to the presence of adults.

The adults have disrupted this balance. When facing zombies, humans seem to have the upper hand when outnumbered. Will the heavens continue to raise the level of zombies through phenomena such as blood moons?

Gu Zijin didn't know.

However, he increasingly felt that the appearance of the adults might not be a coincidence, but rather a savior of the world.

Su Yimo didn't understand Gu Zijing's meaning: "Isn't it a good thing that the balance has been broken? Otherwise, if humanity is always overwhelmed by zombies, when will the apocalypse end? But this Zhou Chong is really outstanding."

They had been following the adults and were only at level four. Zhou Chong, on the other hand, had never had a crystal core without impurities, yet he had also reached level four.

Holy crap! Even with cheats, they still can't beat him, that's outrageous!

The subsequent clearing of the buildings did not present any major dangers. After all eight buildings were cleared, a considerable amount of supplies were found.

These items will naturally be handed over to the base and distributed after the mission is completed.

By the time the building was cleared out, the sun had set.

After arranging for people to take night shifts in various locations, Zhou Chong selected a building that was both offensive and defensive, as his place to rest for the night.

After being assigned a house, Ling Ran and the others had dinner and then took out a mahjong set. It had been quite a while since they had played mahjong; Ling Ran had played a bit of Dou Dizhu (a card game) today, and her craving was kicking in.

Moreover, she also had a bit of a craving for fishing.

However, Qingcheng is too hot, and many ponds and rivers have dried up. Fortunately, there are still quite a few water-based ability users at the Hope Base, which can barely supply the base's needs.

Xia Qianqian lived across from Ling Ran. When she went upstairs to find Zhou Chong, she saw that the door across the street was not closed and she could hear the sound of mahjong being played inside.

She was momentarily dazed upon hearing the voice.

Although she had plenty of supplies, she didn't have mahjong; the goods she stockpiled before the apocalypse were all food and household items.

Just then, Zhou Chong came over: "Qianqian, what are you doing here?"

"Oh." Xia Qianqian came back to her senses and handed him the large bowl in her hand: "This is the food I made for dinner. I was going to bring it up to you."

Zhou Chong nodded: "Okay, wait a moment, I'll go and say something to the adults first, I'll be right back."

"Um."

Seeing Zhou Chong hurriedly enter the room opposite, Xia Qianqian felt a little embarrassed, but she understood Zhou Chong's actions.

If it were the old her, she would definitely have misunderstood, been jealous, or even envious.

But now, when this person is far beyond her, all Xia Qianqian is left with is a sense of powerlessness, a sense of powerlessness that no matter how hard she tries, she can never catch up.

Therefore, Xia Qianqian is now trying her best to calm herself down.

She's already so much better off in this life than in her last. She's even found someone she loves who loves her back. She can't be too greedy.

Zhou Chong came out shortly after. He immediately took the food from Xia Qianqian's hands, his eyes smiling: "Thank you for cooking, Qianqian, and for thinking of me. Come on, let's eat in the safe stairwell so we can be alone together."

"Um."

Xia Qianqian blushed slightly as she followed Zhou Chong into the emergency exit. The two sat on the stairs, and Zhou Chong praised her as he ate, making Xia Qianqian, who had given up on cooking, enjoy it again.
