A moment later, Alice felt a slight stinging sensation in her mind.
Alice broke through to level two, but she felt that the pain was not as intense as Huang Zhao had described.
This is because Alice awakened a healing-type ability, which continuously heals herself when she uses it, reducing the pain during her breakthrough.
"I've broken through to level two!"
Alice opened her eyes and said to Huang Zhao with delight.
Having just heard Huang Zhao talk about the importance of superpower levels after the apocalypse, I realized that improving my own strength would also help Huang Zhao better.
Overjoyed at breaking through to the next level, Alice leaned over and smacked Huang Zhao on the cheek.
Huang Zhao pinched Alice's cute nose and took out the level-four energy crystal that he had retrieved from the crystal exchange.
Even after being absorbed by so many people today, the crystal still contains more than 90% of its energy.
Inside is a level 4 attribute-free crystal with 10,000 energy points, enough for five level 3 ability users to accumulate enough energy to break through to level 4.
As for the level four attribute-less energy crystal obtained after killing the Devourer today, it needs to be given to Chen Run for absorption tomorrow.
The special energy absorbed during the first absorption by the level four energy crystal was used to break through the barrier that allowed Chen Run to break through to level four.
As for Alice's breakthrough to level four crystals, there's no rush at this point.
Huang Zhao believed that before Alice accumulated enough energy to break through to level three, he could obtain another level four energy crystal for her to absorb.
Handing the level-four attribute-free energy crystal to Alice, Huang Zhao said:
"Next, we will absorb the energy from this crystal."
Alice obediently took the crystal and began to absorb it.
As soon as the level-four, attribute-less energy entered her body, Alice frowned and stopped absorbing it.
Huang Zhao asked with some confusion:
"What's wrong?"
"I can still absorb energy, but it doesn't feel as powerful as the boost I received from absorbing that level-three energy crystal earlier..."
"When I absorbed that white crystal just now, I felt a warm sensation throughout my body; it directly merged with my supernatural power!"
Huang Zhao was somewhat puzzled, as he couldn't find this information in Chen Run's memory.
It is unclear what is happening to Alice at this moment.
But since Alice said so, Huang Zhao didn't doubt it and directly said to her:
"It might be related to the fact that you absorbed an energy crystal of the same type as you. In that case, continue absorbing that level-three crystal."
Huang Zhao handed the Level 3 Restoration Energy Crystal back to Alice, allowing her to continue absorbing it.
'I originally intended to give the Corpse King's energy crystal to the other members of Dawn City as a reward.'
Tomorrow I'll absorb some energy from the Corpse King's crystal and see if it matches my guess.
Huang Zhao thought to himself.
Both the Corpse King and I are mental beings. If the feeling Alice described is due to absorbing crystals of the same type...
Therefore, when absorbing the Corpse King's energy crystal, one should also be able to sense the difference from other energy crystals.
As Alice continued to absorb the crystals, Huang Zhao's hands became restless again, kneading Alice's pert buttocks as she sat on his lap.
Alice endured the strange sensations in her body and continued to absorb the energy crystal in her hand.
She handed the crystal to Huang Zhao after feeling that her body could absorb no more. Her eyes, wide open, glared at him angrily.
At this moment, silence speaks louder than words. Huang Zhao stopped what he was doing, took the crystal without changing his expression, and felt the energy that was 108 points less inside.
Adding the 2 points of energy absorbed from the level 4 energy crystal, Alice has absorbed a total of 110 points of energy!
If we follow the normal rules for absorbing crystals, Alice's talent is 18!
Huang Zhao was somewhat shocked; this was already higher than his own talent!
But he was more delighted than anything else, and didn't rush to tell Alice the news.
Huang Zhao planned to absorb the Corpse King's spiritual energy crystal tomorrow, confirm his guess, and then tell her.
......
It was around 8 p.m. at this time.
Although he still wanted to linger with Alice, Huang Zhao said to her:
"Do you need to rest a little longer? I'll take care of the affairs in Dawn City and come back to keep you company."
As he spoke, the threads of mental connection that Huang Zhao had been cultivating reached into Alice's mind.
Sensing the spiritual threads imbued with Huang Zhao's aura, Alice accepted the connection without the slightest hesitation.
Although Alice knew that Huang Zhao's ability to control people was a special power, she had no concerns about Huang Zhao controlling her.
Huang Zhao didn't say much about this, but simply tightened his grip on Alice's hand.
"I want to go with you!"
Alice clung to Huang Zhao like an octopus, showing no intention of letting go.
At this moment, Alice didn't want to be separated from Huang Zhao for even a moment longer.
"Okay, let's go together then."
Huang Zhao, carrying a large pendant, strode towards the control center next door.
Alice, meanwhile, was looking around at the decorations on the fourth basement level without making a sound to disturb Huang Zhao, who had important business to attend to.
Sitting at the control panel, Huang Zhao continued his unfinished work:
What we saw before was the hunting team's haul. Today, they handed over a total of 9,440 energy crystals, more than three times the amount from yesterday.
However, this is still negligible compared to the number of zombies within a 10-kilometer radius.
At this rate, it would take more than a year to clear the zombies within a 10-kilometer radius.
'It seems we need to speed up the zombie clearing process; we can't rely on manpower to kill them all the time.'
While the zombies aren't very intelligent yet, mass killing them is the most efficient method!
With some ideas in mind, Huang Zhao continued reading.
Twelve search and rescue teams rescued a total of 514 survivors and killed 985 level-zero zombies.
The zombies were killed incidentally during the rescue operation, and their numbers were fewer than those of the hunting team.
But for the members of the search and rescue team, it was also a considerable amount of extra income.
If we exclude the 59 people Huang Zhao brought back from Wanda Plaza, the number of survivors rescued is even less than yesterday.
But this is not surprising, as more than 100 of the survivors who joined yesterday were from East China University of Political Science and Law.
If Zheng Lan and her group hadn't started rescuing the survivors of East China University of Political Science and Law from the very beginning of the apocalypse...
It's hard to say whether any of the 50 people will survive when the rescue team from Dawn City arrives today.
Besides, I only spent a relatively short time marking survivors today.
Although the number of search and rescue team members was several times that of yesterday, it is not surprising that the number of survivors rescued was significantly less.
Huang Zhao knew that the number of survivors rescued in subsequent rescue operations would only decrease, but he would still continue to expand the size of the search and rescue team.
The expansion will not be considered until all zombies within a 10-kilometer radius have been cleared and all survivors have been rescued.
Huang Zhao opened the map showing the distribution of zombies, looking at the map where the entire 10-kilometer radius had been marked.
