Huang Zhao's voice, tinged with amusement, came out: "Let's absorb the crystal first."
"To break through to level four, you need to absorb a brand new level four energy crystal."
"High-level energy crystals are limited, and most people will be stuck at level three for a long time."
Huang Zhao used his telekinesis to retrieve the level 5 energy crystal that was placed to the side and floated it in front of Zhou Xindong.
Zhou Xindong took it and asked curiously:
"What level of energy crystal is this?"
"Level 5. I just killed a mutant zombie today."
Although he was somewhat prepared, Zhou Xindong was still a little surprised when he heard Huang Zhao say that the crystal was obtained from a level-five organism.
Zhou Xindong has a particularly vivid memory of his only experience dealing with a level-four zombie.
At that time, almost all of Dawn City's elite forces came out to deal with a level four flesh-based mutant zombie.
The flesh-based ability users responsible for resisting the zombie attacks were all injured, and their titanium alloy shields were all smashed and deformed.
It took more than a dozen people a lot of hard work to kill the level four zombie, and the victory was extremely difficult.
However, Huang Zhao was able to casually mention that he had just killed a level 5 mutant zombie that day.
Enjoying the strength of the man embracing her, Zhou Xindong closed her eyes and began to absorb the energy within the crystal.
Although the crystal energy share for today has been absorbed in the morning, it can be reabsorbed after resting.
The special energy within the energy crystal was absorbed into Zhou Xindong's body.
Zhou Xindong could clearly feel a barrier being broken.
Knowing that this was the barrier Huang Zhao mentioned when breaking through to level four, he knew that if Huang Zhao hadn't told him, he would most likely have been trapped there for a long time.
The energy within the Level 5 crystal was absorbed rapidly, more and faster than the energy absorbed from the Level 4 crystal previously.
A few minutes later, Zhou Xindong opened his eyes, getting even closer to breaking through to level four.
Overjoyed, Zhou Xindong hugged Huang Zhao and kissed him hard, teasingly saying:
"My king, would you like to try this?"
As he spoke, Zhou Xindong activated his supernatural ability and entered beast form.
His entire body was covered in white skin, and his pupils turned into blue-green eyes, looking at Huang Zhao with a wild and untamed gaze.
Huang Zhao's heart began to beat rapidly without his consent.
It seemed to have touched a nerve in him; his breathing became heavy, and he instantly flipped Zhou Xindong over to his side.
......
It was nearly midnight, and Zhou Xindong felt that he had no strength left.
He used the last bit of strength he had left to beg for mercy.
Huang Zhao leaned down and whispered something in Zhou Xindong's ear, which instantly made her gasp:
"This...this can also be treated?"
"The post-apocalyptic world is crazier than you can imagine."
"If they have no objections, what do I have to be afraid of!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Xindong felt herself being picked up and instantly left her residence in the North District.
The rapid movement created a powerful wind noise, but the fierce gale was completely blocked by the psychic shield that Huang Zhao had condensed.
"We are now..."
"The entire Dawn City is under my surveillance. There is no one outside the inner city right now, so no one will see us."
Zhou Xindong's body trembled. Although she had acted very boldly, they were outside.
Fortunately, the 300-meter distance was covered in just a few seconds, and Huang Zhao carried her to the rest room on the fourth basement floor of the shelter.
"Brother Huang Zhao, you're back~"
"What...what's going on?!"
Hearing the noise, Alice woke up sleepily and stared at the two of them with wide eyes.
The next morning, Huang Zhao, who had hardly rested, slept in late, which was a rare treat.
Ning Chuxia arrived at the shelter as usual, intending to inquire about Huang Zhao's arrangements for the day.
Although there were already professionals in charge of all matters in Dawn City, she still wanted to share some of the burden with Huang Zhao.
Upon arriving at the lounge, Ning Chuxia was puzzled as to why it was so quiet this morning.
It's normal for Alice to sleep in, but Huang Zhao should already be up.
Curious, she pushed open the door, and the scene inside made her eyes widen in surprise.
"You big scoundrel!"
Her pretty face turned bright red, and she slammed the door shut.
Having escaped back to the AI control center, Ning Chuxia sullenly lay down in front of the main control panel.
Although he knew in his heart that Huang Zhao would have no shortage of women in the future, he still felt very uncomfortable seeing a new woman appear after only one day of taking him in.
In fact, Huang Zhao's spiritual senses had already been monitoring Ning Chuxia as she entered and left her home.
Huang Zhao did nothing until she entered the shelter, walked into the lounge, and pushed open the door.
Huang Zhao knew he was greedy, but he disdained to secretly have affairs with other women behind his woman's back; if he did it, he would openly tell them.
If someone is unwilling to accept it, Huang Zhao feels that he will not stop them from leaving.
But nothing has happened yet, and Huang Zhao doesn't know what he will do then.
Huang Zhao broke free from the two soft objects, got up, dressed, and went to the control center.
He gently hugged Ning Chuxia from behind and said softly:
"Who upset our Chuxia? Tell your senior brother, I'll go teach him a lesson!"
Ning Chuxia tried to break free from Huang Zhao's embrace, but found she couldn't, so she simply stopped resisting.
"Hmph! I don't want to hear you! You want some peace and quiet!"
Huang Zhao's expression turned serious. "So her name is Jingjing!"
"Aili! List all the people in Dawn City named Jingjing!"
Upon hearing Huang Zhao's command, the AI Ellie immediately filtered out those who met the criteria and replied:
"Yes, Master. There are a total of..."
Worried that Huang Zhao might actually do something, Ning Chuxia turned around helplessly and looked at Huang Zhao, who had a mischievous smile on his lips.
"I'm fine. I knew this day would come, but I didn't expect it to come so soon."
“I’m not as open-minded as Alice. It took me a very long time to convince myself to get involved between you and Alice.”
As she spoke, tears welled up in Ning Chuxia's eyes.
Huang Zhao hadn't expected Ning Chuxia to react so strongly, and felt somewhat guilty.
He kissed away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and in the end, he could only utter three words: "I love you!"
Ning Chuxia turned around and hugged Huang Zhao tightly, completely accepting this man in her heart.
Yes, as long as he still loves me, and truly loves me, that's enough!
Don't think about so many things that make you unhappy!
"I won't be jealous anymore!"
Huang Zhao gently stroked Ning Chuxia's hair and rested his chin on her forehead.
"Let's rest well today. I'll stay in the shelter too."
Because today, Chen Run's injuries will be fully recovered.
Huang Zhao manipulated Chen Run to absorb the energy crystal he held in his hand, which was taken from a level four space-system zombie in Jin City.
Today, Chen Run will be able to absorb the energy needed to break through to level four, becoming the second human in Dawn City to break through to level four.
He is very likely the second fastest survivor on Earth to break through to level four at this time.
