The crystal energy slowly entered Chen Run's body, and after reaching a certain critical point, a surge of energy flowed out from within his body.

Chen Run has broken through his level!

Spatial energy swirled around Chen Run, and in a flash, his body disappeared from the shelter.

The next second, Chen Run appeared on the roof of the guardhouse on the inner city wall.

The next moment, they were back in the shelter.

I've mastered teleportation!

A level four spatial ability user can teleport, typically for a distance of about 500 meters.

This is the furthest teleportation distance within sight. To teleport inside a building, one can only do so within the normal range of perception.

Chen Run, at level four, has a spatial perception range of approximately 60 meters. Beyond 60 meters, he can no longer teleport within buildings.

However, by combining Huang Zhao's mental perception area, Chen Run can teleport to any location within that area.

The teleportation distance and the effects that can be achieved are greatly enhanced.

Just like the spatial blade that cannot be released at level three, combined with Huang Zhao's mental abilities.

Chen Run's spatial ability has also been greatly enhanced, making it far more powerful than a single type.

"Unfortunately, teleportation cannot take other people with it, and it consumes too much of your superpower."

To be able to teleport with others, Chen Run would need to break through to level six at least.

Using his powerful spatial abilities, he was able to open a portal that allowed others to travel through.

Before reaching level six, Chen Run's total amount of supernatural power was not enough.

However, with the ability to teleport, Huang Zhao could begin to implement many of his plans.

The first thing to do is to head to the large fuel storage warehouse in Shanghai.

Dawn City is located in the southwest of Shanghai.

To get to the fuel depot, you need to go through downtown Shanghai and head northeast, near the East China Sea.

Over there is Shanghai's largest fuel depot, with a storage capacity of nearly two million cubic meters.

Collecting just a portion would be enough to sustain Dawn City for many years.

Do what you think of, and absorb today's share of crystal energy.

The level four space system energy crystal in Chen Run's hand can probably absorb for another two days.

After absorbing it, Chen Run's supernatural talent will increase by 11.

"From now on, whenever we see a special type of zombie, we must collect its energy crystals, regardless of its strength."

"If we find the right people in the future, we can create a genius with superpowers by simply piling them together!"

Of course, there aren't many special ability users in Dawn City yet.

It doesn't even cover all trait types yet, and it's unclear when we'll be able to use them.

With a flash, Chen Run's body left Dawn City and teleported northeast.

It can teleport two kilometers in a single teleport, absorbing the energy of a level-three crystal while teleporting to restore its superpowers.

Huang Zhao estimated that it would be enough to support nearly a hundred teleportations, which is about two hundred kilometers, enough to collect fuel and return after arriving at the destination.

What other survivors considered precious level-three energy crystals were nothing more than consumables for quickly replenishing alien energy in Huang Zhao's hands.

There are also hundreds of level-three energy crystals in Chen Run's supernatural space.

Most of them were obtained by the Corpse King Tower, summoned by the Corpse King of Jin City, when they returned from Yangcheng.

The number of fourth-level energy crystals that have not yet been absorbed has already exceeded double digits.

Huang Zhao is currently evaluating the next batch of candidates suitable for absorbing breakthroughs.

After breaking through to level four, those who become mid-level ability users are the core strength of Dawn City.

Naturally, rewards cannot be given arbitrarily; they must be granted only after careful consideration and assessment.

Chen Run used teleportation to move through the city, pausing for a period of time in each area.

While restoring his internal supernatural abilities, Huang Zhao also recorded the situation within his mental perception area.

Survivor information, zombie density, markers of those with special abilities, etc.

With the assistance of the smart terminals in Shuguang City, each pause only takes a few minutes and does not significantly slow down the speed.

Teleportation allows you to ignore terrain effects and travel in a straight line to your destination.

As they approached the city center, Huang Zhao made a peculiar discovery in his mental perception area.

"Huh? There are survivors in the city center too?"

Huang Zhao's figure appeared on a skyscraper, and he gasped as he looked down at the zombies that surrounded him.

The density of zombies here is the most outrageous he has ever seen, bar none.

There were almost no gaps between the zombies, and level zero zombies were almost unable to move on their own.

Only those zombies that have evolved to level one can maneuver with difficulty among hordes of zombies.

The thought of struggling to survive in such a place is enough to make one feel desperate and depressed.

However, in the office building below Huang Zhao's mental perception, there was a group of survivors.

......

In a meeting room on the 27th floor of the office building, 23 survivors were resting.

"Brother Hou, we only have enough food for two days. We're probably all going to die here."

A girl with a haggard face, but still quite beautiful, leaned back in a recliner, gazing at the ceiling and murmuring to herself.

"Heaven have mercy on me, Mudan, who has lived here for thirty years. I'm about to starve to death here. If only you, Xiaoli, would be willing to help me end this."

At the end of the table, a bespectacled man was leaning over the table, his eyes fixed on the girl who had spoken earlier.

"Heh, even if I agree now, will you still have the energy to cause trouble?"

Hearing this, Xiaoli wasn't angry; instead, she said it casually.

Once the conversation started, the other survivors joined in.

There were both men and women present, and the atmosphere was relatively harmonious. Despite the impending depletion of supplies, they seemed quite at ease.

The middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table watched silently, without participating in the discussion.

Judging from the somewhat fearful looks in the eyes of the others, this person was their leader.

The fact that they could maintain basic peace in such dire circumstances, instead of fighting over the last bit of food, was also due to this person's restraint.

In fact, Huang Zhao noticed them because he discovered that this person had awakened a special ability.

Another poison-type ability user.

Judging from his aura, he had also reached the second level.

"interesting."

Huang Zhao waved and left a pile of supplies on the rooftop, which was insignificant to him.

Huang Zhao then kicked open the safety door on the roof, which had been simply reinforced by the survivors, and slowly walked down the stairs.

This building has 30 floors, and the survivors are located on the two floors below. There's no need to teleport in anymore.

Huang Zhao had no wicked desire to show off in front of others; he was just passing the time while resting and recovering his supernatural abilities.

Huang Zhao kicked the security door so loudly that everyone in the conference room heard it.

"Awei, go and see what happened."

"If it's zombies, ignite the fuel on the 28th floor. We'll have to try to save ourselves one last time."

The man who had awakened his poison-type superpower spoke to a capable young man on his right.

"Okay, Brother Hou."

Holding a fire axe, Ah Wei carefully made his way up the stairwell.
