After Zheng Lan finished speaking, she released Ning Chuxia.
He took out 32 level-zero energy crystals from the backpack that was placed to the side and handed them to Ning Chuxia.
He then took 28 pills and prepared to begin absorbing them.
Although both are at level two, Ning Chuxia has a slightly higher talent level than Zheng Lan and can absorb more energy.
Zheng Lan had already known this a couple of days ago, and was delighted by Chu Xia's talent.
But I also felt a sense of urgency.
'If Chu Xia becomes stronger than me by then, how can that be allowed!'
According to the city lord, absorbing high-level crystals can increase the amount of energy absorbed.
I must find a way to acquire high-level energy crystals to accelerate my level progression!
With a few random thoughts passing through her mind, Zheng Lan began to absorb the level zero energy crystal she was holding in her hand.
Through his mental perception, Huang Zhao saw that Ning Chuxia was also planning to start absorbing the level zero crystal.
Instead of the level-three crystal he had given himself, he felt a little anxious.
For a level two ability user, the difference between these two is twice the absorption capacity!
In the early stages of the apocalypse, every day wasted is a tremendous waste.
Ignoring Zheng Lan's presence, Huang Zhao immediately conjured a spiritual thread.
He probed into Ning Chuxia's mind and initiated a mental connection request.
Just as Ning Chuxia was about to absorb the crystal's energy, she suddenly felt something unusual in her mind.
A gentle and harmless unfamiliar force is reaching out to me, trying to enter my mind.
Startled, he immediately went on guard, and the spiritual threads that Huang Zhao had gathered were instantly shattered.
Huang Zhao: '...'
'Never mind, it was expected.'
This successfully interrupted Ning Chuxia's absorption process.
Let's do it again!
Ning Chuxia looked around in confusion, but found nothing unusual except for the empty room.
He was about to tell Zheng Lan, who had closed her eyes and was absorbing the crystal energy, about what he had just felt.
The feeling from before came back to Ning Chuxia's mind again.
After hesitating for a moment, he felt that the force was not malicious, and that he could dispel it at any time.
Ning Chuxia did not stop the spiritual thread any longer, allowing it to smoothly enter her mind.
'As expected, the blond guy is a genius!'
The feeling of a mental connection is gentle and without any malice; any normal person would agree to such a connection.
Huang Zhao was deeply moved, finally there was a second person who accepted his mental connection.
As is customary, let's check the code first:
"Waibibabu?"
Sensing the information coming from my mind.
There was no sound, but I could still understand the meaning of the message.
Ning Chuxia did not reply and remained silent.
'This clever girl isn't so easily fooled.'
Without much hesitation, Huang Zhao chose to lay his cards on the table, since there was nothing to hide.
In the mental connection, he spoke directly to the somewhat wary Ning Chuxia:
"Early summer, long time no see."
You don't need to speak; you only need to think about what you want to say in your mind.
"Who are you? Do you know me?"
Unable to discern Huang Zhao's voice or demeanor from his tone, Ning Chuxia was still unaware of who had contacted her.
Following Huang Zhao's instructions, I kept my body still and asked in my mind.
"I am Senior Brother Huang Zhao."
We were in contact not long ago.
"ah?"
Ning Chuxia pictured a tall, sunny young man in Guangzhou.
I remember when I registered for high school, they helped me carry my luggage.
The enthusiastic senior student, braving the scorching sun, led me on a tour of the entire school before finally bringing me back to my dorm.
After adding Huang Zhao's contact information, I often consult him when I have questions.
She made herself the most knowledgeable person on campus among her sisters.
After Huang Zhao graduated, the two kept in touch, but they almost never met again.
Seeing that Ning Chuxia had fallen silent again, he wondered if she believed him or not.
Huang Zhao explained:
"I am communicating with you now through my special abilities."
After the apocalypse broke out, many people in my company also turned into zombies.
Fortunately, the city lord, who happened to be passing by, rescued them and took them back to the shelter.
Hearing this, Ning Chuxia finally responded:
"That's why the city lord saved us at the security booth at the north gate of East China University of Political Science and Law."
"Is it because you were there?"
Huang Zhao replied, "I didn't expect Ning Chuxia to still remember this."
"Yes, because my special ability is more supportive."
I found you trapped in the guard post and begged the city lord to rescue you.
Huang Zhao attributed all the credit to Chen Run, separating himself from the city lord of Dawn City.
There was no intention of telling this secret to a second person.
At the same time, he wanted to establish a lofty image for the Lord of Dawn City, which would be more conducive to smooth communication between the two later.
"Thanks...
What was the reason that my senior brother contacted me this time?
Seeing that they had finally gotten to the point, Huang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and said to Ning Chuxia:
"I hope you won't give up absorbing the level 3 energy crystal in your hand."
That was the reward I asked the city lord for; you don't need to worry that he has any ulterior motives.
I'm currently working in Dawn City to earn points and improve my strength.
Primarily responsible for planning the city lord's travels, and assisting the AI in managing the survivors who join Dawn City.
There were too many survivors today, and I couldn't handle it all by myself.
So I'd like to invite you to be my helper.
Upon hearing the first two sentences, Ning Chuxia felt that something was amiss.
Lost in thought, she didn't even hear what Huang Zhao said next and asked directly:
"Indeed, there's no need to worry about the city lord having any ulterior motives, but what do you mean by compensation?"
Did you do something to offend me?
During their mental connection, Huang Zhao sensed Ning Chuxia's wariness.
The mental connection was somewhat unstable, as if it might break at any moment.
He hurriedly said:
Don't misunderstand!
I'm giving you the crystal so you can improve your strength as soon as possible, then we can go back to Guangzhou together!
I'm also very worried about my parents' safety...
Pressed by Ning Chuxia, Huang Zhao pulled out his trump card.
Unexpectedly, this caused Ning Chuxia to cause the mental connection between the two to be directly severed.
In her mental perception, Ning Chuxia's face flushed red as she pulled up the sheet beneath her and covered herself and Zheng Lan's bodies.
Huang Zhao immediately realized the flaw in his words.
Because I saw and heard what happened in Ning Chuxia's room just now.
Huang Zhao spoke naturally, treating this information as already known in his communication with Ning Chuxia.
With a sigh, Huang Zhao already knew what might happen next.
But you have to fill the hole you dug yourself, even if you're crying.
Huang Zhao reconnected his spiritual connection to the silk thread and probed into Ning Chuxia's mind.
After the connection was established, a barrage of attacks from Ning Chuxia immediately followed:
"You...you overheard my conversation with Alan?"
'They found out after all.'
Sighing, Huang Zhao pondered how to explain to Ning Chuxia.
