The next day, when Ye Lei woke up, Xiao La Jiao Cha Murong had already gotten up and probably gone downstairs to help make breakfast.
He checked the time and saw that it was still early, so he decided to study the crystal core and see what kind of changes it could bring him.
After opening the space, I found that most of them were first-level crystal cores, about a few hundred in total, and there were only a dozen or so second-level crystal cores. Never mind that, I'll absorb these first.
He focused intently and began to absorb the energy of the crystal core. At first, only a few points of light appeared and disappeared, but in an instant, these points of light strung together like stars and burst forth with brilliant light.
Its color is like the new buds that sprout in spring, gradually transforming from the initial light green into a dazzling white light, like a vast silver moon hanging in the sky.
However, just as the white light reached its peak, it suddenly went out, disappearing in an instant like a shooting star in the night sky, and the crystal cores vanished without a trace, as if they had evaporated.
[Congratulations, host! Your Supernatural Lightning Technique has been upgraded to Hellfire Lightning. It can now attack up to ten targets in a single activation.]
"Yay! I finally leveled up!"
Ye Lei excitedly clenched his fist. With the two superpowers, Ice Roar and Hellfire Lightning, ordinary targets could be reduced to ashes with a wave of his hand.
When Ye Lei came downstairs, breakfast was already prepared. Today's breakfast consisted of his favorite spicy soup and beef patties.
"Brother Lei, you're down here! Come and eat!"
Xu Jiao greeted them warmly.
"Okay, are they all up?"
"I've already called them, they'll be down right away."
"Oh, then I'll eat first!"
"No need to wait for them, they'll be down soon."
Ye Lei began the lavish breakfast without any hesitation; there was no reason to keep his host waiting! He didn't care about anything else.
When Ye Lei had almost finished eating, everyone had arrived. He wiped his mouth and hands and prepared to arrange the next steps.
"Dear girls, is anyone willing to go out with me?"
"I"
"I"
…………
Before Ye Lei could finish speaking, everyone eagerly raised their hands. Perhaps it was too boring here, and only by going out with Ye Lei could they experience the thrill of adventure.
"What? Everyone's going? How about we form a group?"
"Hehe... Brother Lei, you're really joking. It's the apocalypse, why would you form a group? To barbecue zombies?"
Chen Xueer said with a smile.
"Hey, that's a good suggestion. How about I bring two back sometime and you guys grill them?"
"Brother Lei, stop being disgusting, okay? We're still eating!"
Xia Yuhe immediately lost her appetite when she thought of those zombies oozing yellow fluid.
"Haha...you have no idea how many people can't even get to eat a zombie!"
Ye Lei also felt a little disgusted with himself.
"That's right, we can only enjoy a paradise-like life in the apocalypse thanks to Brother Lei."
Xu Jiao gave a thumbs up and said.
"Alright, enough chit-chat, I'm getting ready to go out. This time it might be very risky. I'll be dealing with survivors, not mindless zombies, so it'll be even more difficult."
"Did someone upset Brother Lei again?"
Cha Murong thought that this was the case when he heard it was to deal with the survivors.
“This time I provoked them because they have something I need.”
What is it?
Xiuyan asked casually.
"Crystal nucleus"
"Is it the one on the zombie's forehead?"
"Yes, I just tried it, and it makes me powerful, so I need a lot more."
"That's easy, just go out and kill zombies, why bother with those survivors?"
Cha Murong also felt that people were the most difficult to deal with.
“I’ve thought about doing that too, but those zombies are also mutated humans. Killing zombies indiscriminately is the same as killing humans.”
"Brother Lei is right. Those zombies didn't provoke us, so we can't slaughter them."
Xiuyan also felt that zombies should not be killed indiscriminately.
“However, those survivors are different. They specialize in killing zombies for supplies, which must be stopped immediately, both legally and morally.”
"Suddenly, I feel that Brother Lei is really righteous!"
"Of course! My lightsaber emits a blue light, doesn't that represent justice?"
"That's right, that's right."
"Haha... A righteous man."
…………
Everyone laughed at Ye Lei's words. It was unclear whether they genuinely believed Ye Lei was a righteous person or simply thought it was a joke.
"Alright, Cha Murong and Xiuyan, have you finished eating?"
"I'm done eating, Brother Lei."
The two answered in unison.
"You two come with me and get your equipment!"
"yes"
The two went back to their room to tidy up.
"Anna, after I leave, the safety of the shelter is in your hands. I believe in you, you can do it, right?"
"Yes, Brother Lei, don't worry, I guarantee the safety of the shelter."
Bena has a heavy sniper rifle; who would dare to invade her territory unless they're courting death?
"Xiaoting, do you have any grenades, smoke grenades, or other weapons for killing multiple enemies?"
Yes, come with me.
Tang Xiaoting led Ye Lei to the equipment manufacturing platform and gave him 20 grenades and 20 smoke grenades, three AK-47s, one M134 heavy machine gun, and various types of ammunition.
Ye Lei was very happy to see the huge pile of weapons.
"Xiaoting, thank you for your hard work."
"It's what I should do."
"Hey, Xiaoting, have you ever thought about installing automatic machine guns around the shelter? They can be fired simply by operating them. That way, the shelter would be even safer."
"Brother Lei, I've thought about this problem too, and I'm trying to find a solution now."
This seems to be a thought that the two of them had reached by coincidence.
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."
"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
As they were talking, Cha Murong and Xiuyan came out. Xiuyan even brought her first-aid kit, knowing that she was taking her out to prevent any accidents.
"Alright, let's go."
Ye Lei waved to the girls who were seeing them off, then left the shelter and embarked on another adventure, this time to Ruifeng Garden.
Throughout the journey, Cha Murong and Xiuyan remained silent; they had not emerged since arriving at the refuge.
At this moment, as far as the eye can see, wild grass grows rampant on both sides of the street, growing wildly as if no one is taking care of it.
Those places that should have been clean and tidy were instead filled with mountains of garbage, emitting a foul stench that made people frown.
To make matters worse, the cars parked haphazardly, abandoned and carelessly placed, added to the already chaotic and dilapidated feel of the city.
Looking around, the scene was one of utter devastation, a sight that evoked a sense of sorrow.
