"Boss! Where's Tiger?"

On the other side, after closing the door, Duan Lei immediately asked about Zhang Hu.

"He... was carried away by a cat!"

Li Chenzhou answered with a strange expression. Recalling what happened on the highway, he found it incredible himself. In his previous life of ten years, he had never encountered such a situation. But in this life, he encountered it on the very first day.

However, considering that Zhang Hu stopped him when he tried to intercept the mutated cat, and that he could still sense Zhang Hu's location, Li Chenzhou wasn't too worried.

"Let's put Tiger's matter aside for now, because I don't know what exactly happened. Let him tell us himself when he gets back!"

Seeing that Duan Lei was about to ask more questions, Li Chenzhou waved his hand.

"Boss! Do you want to recruit those police officers outside? Then, using them as a foundation, establish a base outside the city?"

Seeing this, Duan Lei didn't ask any further questions, but directly mentioned Li Yunshan and the others outside. Even Li Yunshan could sense Li Chenzhou's goodwill, how could Duan Lei not see it?

"No! I don't plan to establish a base!"

Li Chenzhou shook his head. As early as last night, after browsing the items in the mall, he had already made this decision.

Admittedly, in the apocalypse, establishing a base would be greatly beneficial. In his previous life, those famous figures were basically leaders or managers of bases.

If there were no Killing System, Li Chenzhou would definitely choose to establish a base. With his experience from his previous life, he would definitely get a head start compared to others, and the base he established would definitely be good.

But now, as long as Li Chenzhou has enough Killing Points, he won't lack any resources. Establishing a base would naturally be unnecessary. It might even become a burden to him. Although it would help him to some extent, it would also take up a lot of his energy.

Before long, countless bases would appear outside the city, small ones with hundreds of people, and large ones with thousands or even tens of thousands. With Killing Points, Li Chenzhou could exchange for any item, and he could completely become a traveling merchant among these bases. This would allow him to grow stronger at the fastest speed.

And Li Chenzhou's advantage is the Killing Mall. Not only can he use Killing Points to exchange for various items in the mall, but he can also use mutated crystal nuclei to exchange for Killing Points.

This function was only activated after Li Chenzhou killed the King Kong earlier and extracted its crystal nucleus. The higher the level of the crystal nucleus, the more Killing Points it can be exchanged for.

Mutated crystal nuclei are also divided into levels. The lowest level 1 crystal nucleus is gray, and then upward, they are green, blue, purple, orange, gold, pink, red, and the legendary colorless transparent crystal nucleus that can only be produced by overlord-level zombies or mutated beasts.

A level 1 mutated crystal nucleus can be exchanged for 100 Killing Points in the mall, level 2 is 200, level 3 is 400, and the price doubles with each higher level!

The evolution potion in the mall costs 500 Killing Points:

Evolution Potion: Has a certain chance of failure when used, which is directly proportional to the user's evolution level. If successful, it will increase the life form's evolution level by one and increase the corresponding attribute value to the upper limit. It will definitely awaken a skill corresponding to the attribute, and has a certain chance of awakening a talent corresponding to the attribute.

Although it seems that using mutated crystal nuclei to increase levels seems cheaper than evolution potions at low levels, Li Chenzhou knows that if he uses evolution potions to exchange for crystal nuclei, he can definitely earn a lot of Killing Points for himself.

First of all, the level increased by a mutated crystal nucleus is consistent with the level of the crystal nucleus, and every Enhancer must gradually absorb mutated crystal nuclei, starting from level 1, then level 2, level 3...

In other words, if you want to upgrade to a higher level, you must obtain crystal nuclei of the corresponding level. Absorbing more level 4 crystal nuclei will not raise an Enhancer's level to level 5.

Secondly, using mutated crystal nuclei to increase evolution levels also has a chance of failure, and even if it succeeds, it will only increase a small amount of physical attributes, and it will be random.

In other words, if you are a level 1 Agility-type Enhancer, after using a level 2 crystal nucleus and succeeding, it is likely that the attribute you increase will be Strength or Spirit.

This attribute cannot be said to be useless, but it is not as good as improving your main attribute. After the evolution potion is used successfully, it will not only definitely improve your main attribute, but also increase it to the upper limit. In addition, it will definitely allow you to obtain a skill corresponding to the main attribute, making you an Evolver.

This is also the reason why the description of the evolution potion directly says that it improves the Evolver's level, because you will definitely get a skill, so naturally you are an Evolver, not to mention there is a certain chance to awaken a talent and become a one-in-a-million Awakened!

In fact, all Enhancers, Evolvers, and even Awakened, have difficulty reaching the upper limit of their own attributes, because the only source of attribute improvement is crystal nuclei.

A level 3 Enhancer who wants to improve their main attribute, or even become an Evolver, needs to constantly absorb level 3 crystal nuclei. Each time they absorb a crystal nucleus, there will be four results:

1. Nothing happens, it's no different from eating a candy.

2. Increase a small amount of random attributes.

3. Obtain a random skill.

4. Awaken a talent.

Among these four possibilities, 1 accounts for 60%, 2 accounts for 30%, 3 is close to 10%, and the last one, awakening a talent... is less than 1%.

At least, the number of Awakened that Li Chenzhou heard of in his previous life did not reach double digits, which shows the rarity of Awakened! It is even less than the number of level 6 Evolvers.

But this is also normal, Li Chenzhou's Fog of War is just a support-type talent, which allowed him to kill King Kong alone and even fight more than two hundred zombies alone when he had not yet become an Enhancer or Evolver, which shows the power of talent.

(Zhang Hu: ???)

Li Chenzhou is completely sure that if his evolution potion is used to exchange for crystal nuclei, there will be a lot of Enhancers or Evolvers who are eager for it. This will not only allow more Evolvers and even Awakened to appear among humans, but also bring a lot of Killing Points to Li Chenzhou.

Therefore, Li Chenzhou really didn't want to subdue Li Yunshan, or take him as a follower, but helping Li Yunshan and the others escape and establish a base is something he can consider. This is why Li Chenzhou went through so much trouble to constantly explain the reason for the zombies to them just now.

However, before that, Li Chenzhou must first figure out what happened to Duan Lei. Why did this guy's combat power on his follower panel suddenly increase from the original 10 points to 40? You must know that even Li Chenzhou, who has the talent of Fog of War, only has 20 Spirit points...
