Chapter 13 Savior
"Gulp!"
The sound of him constantly swallowing was unusually clear.
Chen Le, who had been itching to pounce on the rice, felt the wolfish stares of the group of people, silently poured the rice into a plate, and then found a corner to quickly shovel the rice into his mouth.
The perfect combination of fat and sugar in the meat creates a sweet and salty flavor that makes Chen Le's eyes squint as he eats.
This is life!
From today onwards, with him there are no zombies, and without zombies there is him; either the zombies die or he lives.
The aroma of the meat made the others, who had just finished eating, instantly feel hungry again.
However, considering the state of his crystal core, he decided to give up. Upgrading his abilities and surviving in this apocalyptic world was more important than filling his stomach.
When we are strong enough, will we still be afraid of not having enough supplies?
It takes a thousand crystal cores for a Level 1 ability user to advance to Level 2. How long would it take them to accumulate enough?
Although zombies are easy to kill one-on-one now, I have heard from flying ability users that humans can level up, and so can zombies.
I've heard that level 2 zombies are even harder to deal with.
After weighing the options, everyone looked at Chen Le and suppressed their thoughts.
Pei Yi looked at Ling Ran with a somewhat complicated expression. The latter sensed his gaze and immediately made her stance clear: "Even if you are my adopted brother, don't think you can get something for free. If you want to eat something, you have to pay with crystal cores."
"..."
Pei Yi felt somewhat helpless.
He wasn't particularly craving it.
"Is your superpower really that your words can become law? That whatever you say comes true?"
"You could say that."
Looking at her thin arms and legs, Ling Ran thought she must take good care of herself during this time. The original owner was 163 cm tall, but weighed only 80 kg, completely skin and bones. Ling Ran didn't want to look at her face a second time after just one glance.
She was a food review blogger, but in order to maintain her figure, she induced vomiting for a long time, which led to anorexia. After the apocalypse came, it actually cured her anorexia.
Upon hearing this, Su Yimo, who was squatting next to Ling Ran and had just finished drinking the hot pot broth, immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Words become law? Does that mean if you say the apocalypse is over, then the apocalypse will end?"
"That's how it is in theory."
He pressed on, "But what about now?"
“But you need enough energy.” Ling Ran pointed to Chen Le eating in the corner: “Like his meal, if he wanted a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, obviously his number of crystal cores wouldn’t be enough.”
Su Yimo lowered her head dejectedly: "Then it's really impossible. To accumulate enough energy to end the apocalypse, you'd have to collect all the zombie crystal cores in the world?"
“There’s no need for that.” Pei Yi’s dark eyes brightened as he stared intently at Ling Ran. “While ending the apocalypse is unlikely, accumulating enough energy for a vaccine should still be possible!”
These words opened up a new way of thinking for everyone!
Meng Rui exclaimed excitedly, "That's right! As long as a vaccine for the zombie virus is developed, at least the survivors won't be afraid of being infected again, the number of zombies won't increase, and humanity can still be saved!"
Immediately, everyone's eyes lit up as they looked at Ling Ran.
Suddenly becoming Ling's savior: "..."
Pei Yi concluded, "I propose that we prevent Ling Ran from going into any more dangerous situations in the future. We should prioritize protecting her. Do you agree?"
Upon hearing this, the person who had just regarded Ling Ran as a savior immediately avoided Pei Yi's gaze.
Prioritizing the protection of Ling Ran is acceptable, provided that one is not in danger.
If a person doesn't look out for themselves, they'll be punished by heaven and earth.
They are not the kind of soldiers who would sacrifice themselves for the greater good.
Ling Ran scoffed coldly: "You just need to protect yourselves. I don't need your protection, and likewise, I won't protect you."
