Whether it's a mutant, a zombie, or a mutated beast, level four is a threshold.
Once this leap is made, it's like a life advancement, completely setting one apart from ordinary creatures.
Even in the later stages of the apocalypse, a level four ability user is still a backbone of a force.
Because a large number of superhumans, whose actual peak is level three, cannot reach level four even with a sufficient supply of crystal cores, due to their own superhuman abilities.
Xu Xing observed the crystal core carefully for a while. The beautiful starry night scene was intoxicating. Even at the end, the question of why there was a starry sky in crystal cores of level four and above has always been a topic of great interest.
Then he took out a small box from his pocket, which was used to store gold jewelry, put the crystal core inside, closed it, and put it into his spatial storage.
Xu Xing had already absorbed enough energy by early morning today, so it was not the best time to absorb the crystal nucleus.
When his body reaches a certain level of hunger tomorrow, he will absorb the crystal core. Combined with the accumulation of energy over the past few days, Xu Xing is at least 70% confident that he will break through to level four.
Only then will we truly have some ability to protect ourselves in this chaotic world.
………………
At the outermost edge of the Jiajiale large shopping mall, two young women dressed head-to-toe in designer brands were driving a very flashy Porsche and parked it in one of the store's parking lots.
"Sister, didn't you say last time that you saw a very powerful zombie here that killed a lot of people? Why do you still come here?"
The girl in green, sitting in the passenger seat, wearing little leather boots, propped her chin on her right hand and rubbed her stomach with her left, and said...
The woman referred to as "older sister" is named Xia Manman. She has delicate features, a high ponytail tied behind her head, and a curvaceous figure, clearly a model of a career elite.
At this moment, Xia Manman parked the car, took off her sunglasses, and pulled out two jade-white swords from where she stood. She tossed one to the girl in green and said:
"It's all because of you, Xia Xiaoxiao. Listen to me, if you dare to steal anything again, you can go fend for yourself."
Xia Manman looked at her aggrieved younger sister, rubbed her forehead and sighed softly.
She didn't want to come here either; she had searched for this place a long time ago.
Then she witnessed a horrifying scene: an inconspicuous zombie had drained the lifeblood of two ability users of similar strength.
For a long time, this was a terrifying shadow, and she even marked this place as a forbidden zone.
I had planned never to come here again, but alas, even the landlord's family had run out of grain.
"It's all my sister Xia Manman's fault!"
On the day of the zombie outbreak, both of them had already awakened as superhumans, and their abilities were also incredibly powerful, both possessing the ability to teleport.
Although the range is short and the time limit for each use is limited, it is still an extremely powerful ability.
If used properly, the ability of teleportation can be used to kill people of a higher level, making one invincible.
The two sisters have survived until now thanks to this skill, and both have already advanced to the mid-stage of the second level.
Unfortunately, they were also incredibly arrogant at the beginning, failing to recognize their own strength and thinking that they were the only ones who mattered in the world.
So for a long time, Xia Manman was constantly pestered by the spoiled Xia Xiaoxiao to plunder all sorts of cosmetics, luxury goods, artworks, fine wines, and luxury cars.
The two swords she and her sister were also stolen while passing by a museum.
Once the food at home was used up, and after recognizing reality and one's own limitations, when it was time to go out again, the food on the less dangerous streets had already been snatched up by others.
Xia Manman searched for a long time but found nothing. There were only places she thought were dangerous that she hadn't searched yet. Compared to the hordes of zombies, this side of Jiajiale Supermarket was obviously the least dangerous.
Perhaps the zombies are long gone.
Xia Manman thought to herself.
But he still got out of the car with Xia Xiaoxiao with unusual caution, clutching the small, jade-white sword tightly in his hand.
She glanced at the supermarket entrance and saw the terrible scene, so she covered her eyes and tried to grab her sister and run away in a panic. But Xia Xiaoxiao was faster and got into the car.
"Sister, run!"
"No, we're much better than before. Let me check the situation first, and if it's not good, then we'll run away." Xia Manman took out a mask and put it on.
Seeing her sister like this, Xia Xiaoxiao nervously followed.
Both of them are at the mid-stage of the second tier and possess teleportation abilities, making them very adept at escaping. When the two of them use it together, the effect is greater than the sum of its parts.
With nervous anticipation, the two sisters activated their teleportation ability and quickly moved towards the supermarket.
At this moment, Xu Xing had already collected the few useful supplies left in the supermarket and was preparing to leave.
Unexpectedly, he bumped right into Xia Manman, who had teleported over.
"What is this so soft?" Xu Xing had no time to savor the question.
"ah!"
After a scream.
A sleek sword slashed towards his abdomen.
Xu Xing frowned and gently pinched it between two fingers.
Before he could relax, another scream rang out, and another dagger was only an inch and a half away from his handsome face.
Xu Xing quickly grinned and bit the tip of the sword with his teeth.
Upon seeing this scene clearly, a look of anger couldn't help but appear on his face.
"What did I do to deserve this?" Xu Xing thought, then suddenly exerted all his strength and tore the two swords into his arms.
Huh?
Xu Xing was filled with doubt when he realized that the sword was of such good quality that it did not break. However, the two girls holding the sword were not so lucky.
They only felt a tremendous force pulling them from their hands, causing them to crash completely into a hard body.
Xu Xing knocked the swords they had dropped to his feet, then used his arms to restrain the two women and angrily asked:
"You want to kill me?"
The two women were already aware of the current situation, and they felt a mixture of joy, shame, and sorrow.
Thank goodness it wasn't a zombie. How could this person be so rude?
My chest hurts so much from that impact!
This is the apocalypse! Judging from his expression, Xia Manman seemed to have already imagined all sorts of terrible scenarios.
Trembling, he hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we didn't mean to."
Xu Xing snorted coldly. "Sorry, what good is that? If sorry was useful, what would be the point of having the police? No! He's the one in charge now."
"Man is fish on the chopping block, and I am the butcher." Xu Xing looked at the two women. They looked almost identical and were both extremely beautiful. If it weren't for the difference in their clothes, people would believe they were doppelgangers.
Was it a killing? Or a recruitment, or perhaps...?
Xu Xing chuckled twice, various images flashing through his mind.
He's not a saint, and Susie wouldn't concern herself with such matters, so...
