Huang Zhao gave a soft "hmm," and Hikawa Tsunasaka quickly corrected himself:

"We are from the Far Sea Fleet of the Little Japan Kingdom!"

"The apocalypse suddenly descended, and we lost the vast majority of our companions."

"Because of the monsters chasing us from the seabed, we escaped to the waters of the Dragon Kingdom before we were able to shake them off. Later, we drifted to the waters near Shanghai."

Hearing this, Huang Zhao became interested and asked:

"What kind of monster is it? Can't your warships handle it?"

Hikawa Tsunasaka swallowed hard, seemingly still terrified by what he had witnessed.

"We can't handle it. There are octopus tentacles that rise up from the seabed for tens of meters, and a shark as big as a warship."

"Their roars alone are unbearable for us."

"Missiles could only temporarily force them back, because it is difficult to defend against underwater attacks. We withdrew after losing a few ships."

The mutated beasts in the sea are indeed terrifying; they are far beyond the capabilities of the current survivors.

The mutated beasts that attacked Xiao Rizi's fleet were at least level four or higher, and might even have broken through to level seven!

Seeing that Huang Zhao did not speak, Hikawa Tsunasaka continued:

"In the days leading up to Shanghai, we were worried about a retaliation from the Chinese government, but we didn't hear anything for several days in a row."

"Since we couldn't return to the island nation, we had no choice but to land on land."

"We've already taken control of Shanghai's port, and this fuel depot was also destroyed by us in order to destroy Shanghai..."

Lu Chen, standing behind Huang Zhao, was practically spitting fire in his eyes. If Huang Zhao hadn't been listening to what they were saying, he probably would have already rushed forward and beaten them to death.

He had long wondered how it could have exploded when the safety measures were in place.

It turns out it was the petty people who caused the disruption; what a terrible thing.

Although the explosion did not spread over a large area, it still deprived them of a safe shelter.

At this time, they were unaware that the reason the explosion was small was because Huang Zhao had taken away most of the fuel from the fuel storage base.

Otherwise, the explosion would have been more than ten times larger and the affected area would have been much larger.

Upon hearing what Hikawa Tsunasaka said, Huang Zhao asked:

"So, only a portion of you have come, and the majority are still at the port?"

"Yes, we have a total of nearly 500 people on board, and three cruisers and four destroyers are still intact."

So that's how it came about. I thought my little life could really cross the East China Sea and come to Shanghai.

Huang Zhao suddenly realized that if that was the case, then there was nothing more to ask.

"That's a good answer. I'll give you a dignified way to die."

Hikawa Tsunasaka was shocked. Before he could even bend his legs to beg for mercy, his whole body went limp, and his brain turned into mush.

As for Colonel Mei Chuan and the others behind him, their heads exploded, leaving them as headless corpses.

Huang Zhao had no intention of keeping them.

After doing all this, Huang Zhao turned to Sun Dehai and Lu Chen and asked:

"Now, do you still have any objections to the ownership of the energy crystal?"

Sun Dehai and Lu Chendi quickly shook their heads and said, "No...no."

Huang Zhao's methods and strength exceeded their expectations, making them completely unable to muster any thought of resistance.

Then, under the puzzled gazes of the two, Huang Zhao manipulated Chen Run to bend down and touch the ground, spreading his spatial abilities.

After Chen Run broke through to level four, the radius of his spatial ability was about sixty meters.

At the level four ability user stage, Chen Run's maximum radius of ability to collect data is approximately 120 meters.

However, with Huang Zhao's psychic abilities enhanced, he was able to expand his collection range to a radius of 200 meters!

It directly reaches the limit of the collection range that he can achieve at his current level.

The spatial ability swept across, precisely locking onto each and every level-zero energy crystal on the ground.

The bags that had already been picked up and sorted by the soldiers were all put into Huang Zhao's supernatural space.

Because of the numerous charred marks on the ground and the remnants of zombie clothing, the one-millimeter-sized energy crystal was hidden underneath and was not easy to find.

If it were just Chen Run's spatial ability, at most he could collect all the available resources in the surrounding area into his ability space and then organize them.

However, with Huang Zhao's psychic abilities assisting them, their mental perception was able to accurately pinpoint the zero-level energy crystal buried below.

Huang Zhao discovered long ago that if he wasn't worried about being discovered by his target, he could use his spatial ability, enhanced by his mental power, to cover other people.

It can instantly take everything off the other person, including their clothes and weapons.

Of course, Huang Zhao did not test this effect of his superpower on other people.

In just over ten seconds, Huang Zhao finished cleaning up the battlefield, while the two people beside him were still unaware of what had happened.

After walking a few hundred meters, Huang Zhao would bend down to collect the energy crystals.

Since Huang Zhao didn't tell them to leave, Sun Dehai and Lu Chen could only follow behind him like his lackeys.

Soon, all the energy crystals within the entire explosion and burning area were absorbed into Huang Zhao's supernatural space.

The total number is 636,513, which is much more than the 500,000 that Huang Zhao had expected.

After Huang Zhao took away all the energy crystals collected by Lu Chen's men, they finally realized what Huang Zhao was doing.

Spatial ability! Telekinesis!

The more than 300 survivors present looked at Huang Zhao with envy, naturally understanding what such a superpower represented.

Time is king, space is king!

Coupled with Huang Zhao's previously displayed formidable strength, they felt awe towards him.

Some people were even planning to immediately become Huang Zhao's underlings.

With a boss like that, you'll never have to worry about food or clothing!

However, seeing Lu Chen behind Huang Zhao with equally burning eyes, she held back.

After collecting his own energy crystal, Huang Zhao said to the two people behind him:

"Next time you deal with a petty person, don't hesitate to kill the jackal first, then settle your own score behind closed doors."

"Surrounded by external enemies, what's the point of infighting?"

Huang Zhao took out two bags of energy crystals from his supernatural space, one bag containing about 20,000 crystals and the other containing about 10,000 crystals.

"Here you go. In the days to come, kill more zombies."

"We'll see each other again soon."

After leaving behind a cryptic remark, Huang Zhao teleported to a location further east, disappearing from the fuel storage base.

Over there is the largest port in Shanghai, and according to Hikawa Tsunasaka, there are still some Japanese soldiers stationed there.

Since we're here, there's no need to go back.

In addition, Huang Zhao was also somewhat interested in their warships and wanted to sail them ashore to see if they could be of any use.

Lu Chen and Sun Dehai stared at each other in the fuel depot, each letting out a cold snort.

Lu Chen picked up the bag containing 20,000 energy crystals and left with his men.

With these energy crystals, the strength of all of them can be greatly enhanced.
