Chen Luo couldn't help but laugh at the cry for help.

"Alright, alright, I'll reluctantly accept you as my little brother."

Da Zhuang was helping him out, after all. Could Chen Luo just watch him die?

The level six mutant had Da Zhuang in one hand, and the poor guy couldn't even resist.

Da Zhuang still lacked experience. He didn't expect the level six mutant to suddenly turn on him, subconsciously assuming it was like the average zombie.

With a Void Walk, Chen Luo suddenly appeared in front of the mutant.

All the zombies stared wide-eyed, thinking, "This guy's got guts!"

If level four zombies were ants, then a level six mutant was just a larger version of an ant in Chen Luo's eyes, equally capable of being crushed underfoot.

But Chen Luo didn't do that. He planned to use Time Acceleration to kill it.

"Time Acceleration."

The mutant suddenly began twitching wildly. It was a frightening sight, like someone had pressed the fast-forward button.

In just six seconds, the mutant fell to the ground, motionless and lifeless.

Chen Luo gasped for air. "Damn it, using Time Acceleration to kill a level six actually consumed nearly a third of my power."

Sure enough, the consumption of Time Acceleration was related to the target's level and remaining lifespan.

Accelerating the dung beetle and potato hadn't consumed much of Chen Luo's energy at all.

"I need to improve Time Acceleration," Chen Luo thought, "but how?" He was at a loss for the moment.

There was a strange fear in Da Zhuang's eyes. Another big shot had died inexplicably.

"This guy's too terrifying!"

Chen Luo dug out the mutant's crystal. "Metal type, huh? I'll give it to Long Yu."

While Chen Luo was using Time Acceleration and retrieving the crystal, the zombies around him swarmed closer, surrounding him completely.

A human pyramid.

Chen Luo felt disgusted and cursed inwardly, "Haven't you guys showered in days? Don't you have any self-awareness?"

"Killing Time!"

Blood splattered everywhere, and brains exploded.

Chen Luo killed his way towards the residential area, running as he did so.

He wasn't chickening out. He was trapping the zombies in the complex.

"One slash, two slashes, three slashes… 80, 81."

Chen Luo took them down one by one. No zombie could withstand a single blow from him.

So, each strike represented a crystal.

He seemed to have slashed 478 times before. That meant 478 crystals.

"520… 666… 888 slashes."

Chen Luo was covered in blood. His short-sleeved shirt and trousers had become blood-soaked rags, making him look like a demon from the depths of hell.

Chen Luo frowned. "Is there any way to block this blood? It's really affecting my appetite."

Chen Luo tried enveloping his entire body with spatial energy, as if he were putting on an invisible suit.

Magically, no more blood seeped onto his body.

It was like a mutated version of the Space Shield.

Chen Luo chuckled. He hadn't expected to learn a skill like this.

If he poured a large amount of spatial energy into it, this Space Armor would definitely be quite defensive.

Seeing Chen Luo, who looked like a god of slaughter, Da Zhuang collapsed to the ground, shivering.

"These were all my friends and family, but so many of them couldn't even hurt a hair on his head."

"How many has he killed?"

"That means a thousand of me wouldn't be a match for this guy."

Da Zhuang wanted to escape, but when Chen Luo glanced at him, he didn't dare move. He was afraid of dying suddenly like the two big shots before him.

The four people Chen Luo had brought to collect crystals were also in disbelief. "One against a thousand?"

"These are level four zombies, equivalent to level four ability users."

"If there were ten thousand, he could probably kill them too, right?"

An ordinary level four would have trouble fighting two at once.

They knew their boss was powerful, but they never knew he was this powerful.

Jiang Chen, who was secretly hoarding crystals, was also stunned, but he wasn't afraid. Instead, he was even more determined to stash away a few crystals.

"You're already so awesome. What's a few crystals more or less to you?"

"Isn't it something you can get with just a wave of your hand?"

"You wouldn't even know how many you've killed."

All the zombies had fallen. The zombies lost all reason when they saw blood. Even if Chen Luo was strong, they wouldn't be afraid…

Except for a few.

"Phew."

Chen Luo let out a long breath. Killing so many zombies in a row made his arms ache. "I'm not a strength-based type, damn it. This is exhausting."

"My subordinates are useless. I have to do everything myself."

Chen Luo beckoned towards Jiang Chen and the other three. They naturally understood what Chen Luo meant and ran over to dig out the crystals, while also flattering him.

"Boss, seriously, you're a god."

"Boss, I'll follow you for life."

"Awesome isn't enough to describe you, Boss."

Chen Luo smiled slightly. "If only they were all level seven with dual abilities."

While they collected the crystals, Chen Luo went to Da Zhuang's side.

"Da Zhuang, want to bring some more zombies over?"

With Da Zhuang, killing zombies was surprisingly fast. Chen Luo planned to kill a few thousand more so he could stay home and read novels, play games, and pet Rice, without having to come out so often.

Da Zhuang said with a bitter face, "Boss, don't mess with me. I'll die. Besides, there's no good…"

Da Zhuang wanted to say there was no benefit, but he didn't dare.

Chen Luo pondered for a moment. Da Zhuang was still useful and had a smart brain.

"But he's not as smart as me. I have to give him something."

"Who has diabetes? Should I give him a little?"

"No, I have to give him some benefits."

"Should I tell him the secret of the crystals?"

"If Da Zhuang has good talent, I might be able to nurture a great demon."

Not only does the virus in the zombies' bodies help them evolve, but absorbing crystals also speeds it up.

But like survivors, there's a daily limit to how much they can absorb.

Zombies like that would evolve much faster than survivors. The first being to reach the King level would be a zombie.

Believe it or not, this King-level zombie didn't slaughter survivors. Instead, he kept them in captivity.

"If I kill them all, will there still be fresh meat?"

"Da Zhuang is only level four now. Is it possible for his evolution speed to catch up to me?"

"Impossible."

"I'll just kill him when I can't control him anymore."

Cooperating with zombies is like seeking skin from a tiger. Like Iron Claw and Iron Head, they want to eat people whenever they get the chance. It's their instinct.

Only Chen Luo can keep them under control.

If Da Zhuang is nurtured well, he might have some unexpected effect.

Chen Luo smiled and revealed the secret of the crystals.

"This way, your strength can improve quickly. If you dare not work hard after getting this benefit, don't blame me for smashing your smart little brain."

Da Zhuang's eyes widened. "So that's why he digs out my companions' heads."

"I, Da Zhuang, have a chance to become stronger!"

Chen Luo rolled his eyes, then put his black scarf over Da Zhuang's face, covering his eyes.

Then, he took three crystals from a subordinate and shoved them into Da Zhuang's mouth.

Da Zhuang wanted to resist, but he couldn't.

Crystals can be eaten, but if you eat too many, your body can't handle it and you'll explode.

Three level four crystals were clearly beyond Da Zhuang's tolerance. Da Zhuang rolled around on the ground in pain.

"Ahhh, what did you do to me? Waaah…"

Chen Luo chuckled. "You've been poisoned by me. If you don't have the antidote, hehehe…"

When it comes to being cunning, who can compare to me?
