Regret youthful ignorance
Chapter 140 Advancing to Level Six
At three in the afternoon, Chen Luo left only thirty-odd people to guard their base. He didn't leave too many, after all, this was a very challenging operation.
Five trucks accompanied them, the rest walked.
In the past few days, Chen Luo had also taken in more than two hundred new members, doubling the number compared to before.
Chen Luo's old members had begun to evolve to Level 3 half a month ago, one after another. Their talents were also of medium to high caliber, they were just bold and willing to fight and kill.
Level 3 was no longer rare, more and more people were reaching Level 3.
At the very least, one out of every twenty people had advanced to Level 3.
Given the number of survivors in Chen Luo's district, it wasn't difficult to have three or four thousand people reach Level 3.
However, Chen Luo's requirements were very strict, with iron discipline.
Most importantly, once you came, you could only be a newbie. Even a Level 3 could barely be considered a strong person. Where couldn't they get good treatment?
You might be strong, but I don't want to be your underling. Wouldn't it be better to be a mid-level leader somewhere else, being admired by others?
Everyone had their own aspirations. Many people understood that with Chen Luo, they probably wouldn't get ahead in this lifetime. Therefore, even though many met the requirements, they wouldn't join Chen Luo's group.
Chen Luo led nearly four hundred people, marching mightily towards the location provided by Xiao Yu.
Along the way, the zombies that encountered so many people were scared away on the spot.
Zombies were also afraid of large numbers.
Chen Luo easily advanced seven or eight hundred meters, only five hundred meters away from the cake shop.
But the difficulty appeared.
The zombies didn't run away and not come back, but went to call their companions.
The cries of zombies rose one after another, attracting zombies from further away.
Even for Chen Luo, it would be difficult to push forward all the way. Zombies kept coming, and he would be exhausted to death. He couldn't use Void Walk, as it would consume a lot of his supernatural power, and it would be very dangerous to be without supernatural power.
Level 3 zombies were difficult to harm Chen Luo, but with a large number, they could wear down this Level 5 space-type user.
With many people, the zombies would call for even more zombies. Zombies weren't survivors, once they started fighting, they wouldn't stop until they were dead, and they wouldn't be scared away.
Therefore, this was considered a challenging operation.
They also had to worry about attracting mutants. If it was Level 7 or above, it would be a disaster.
At that time, it would depend on who could run faster and escape.
If Mi Fan warned him at this time, then Chen Luo could only bite the bullet and move forward. He absolutely couldn't change Mi Fan's prophecy at will.
Changing it for one person back then had made Mi Fan vomit blood. With so many people, Mi Fan would definitely die.
The first wave of zombies came quickly, about four hundred in number.
Zombies would come when they felt the number was about right. It wasn't easy to gather thousands of zombies.
Chen Luo, Su Dazhu, and Xia Haoran each got into three trucks, and had Mi Li increase the defense.
The street was wide enough to accommodate three trucks moving forward at the same time.
The three of them were ready to go, driving heavy trucks, stepping on the gas pedal all the way, and ramming straight into the zombie horde.
Zombies had intelligence, they would dodge and attack the trucks.
But with so many zombies, crowded together, could you dodge if you wanted to?
They were inevitably hit by the trucks. The force of the impact couldn't kill the zombies at once, they had to be repeatedly crushed several times.
The purpose of hitting the zombies wasn't to kill them, but to disrupt their formation.
Due to dodging the trucks, the zombies made way, and the formation scattered. The members behind, who were prepared, strode forward.
Earth-type members used earth shields at the front, running quickly, allowing the element-type members behind to reap the harvest.
When the earth shield was broken, they would switch to the next group of earth-type members to take the lead.
Chen Luo's three trucks were subjected to a large number of spells, and the front of the trucks and doors were quickly destroyed.
The tires and bodies of the trucks were also attacked. The zombies didn't know to aim at the gas tank.
The trucks were forced to slow down, but fortunately, the purpose was achieved, and the zombie formation was shattered.
The three quickly got out of the trucks and attacked the zombies from the front and back.
Just after killing this wave of zombies, another wave came, this one with only three hundred-odd zombies.
"Go, kill them."
Chen Luo's expression changed. These words weren't spoken by someone on his side.
Chen Luo immediately scanned the area and saw a female zombie in red clothes on the opposite side.
It was perfectly normal for a large-scale operation to attract a nearby mutant. This was also where the difficulty of the operation lay.
Mi Fan didn't give a warning, indicating that there was no danger, and the mutant's level wasn't high.
Fawang, who was single-mindedly trying to get points, also knew to bide his time at this time, squinting his dog eyes at the mutant, without rushing up directly.
The mutant jumped, easily jumping more than five meters high, onto the roof of a shop.
A scorching heat wave was generated on its body, but the spell wasn't immediately cast.
Chen Luo narrowed his eyes. It wasn't instant cast, it was clearly a powerful spell.
Chen Luo shook his head. He originally wanted Su Dazhu, Xia Haoran, Mi Ling, and Shu Yun to deal with this mutant together to gain some combat experience.
But obviously, this mutant wasn't Level 5. Mi Fan didn't give a warning, and it wasn't Level 7 either. It seemed to be Level 6.
It would be a bit difficult for them to go up against it. There was a two-level difference, and the gap was very large.
Level 6 was even one level higher than Chen Luo.
The next second, the Level 6 mutant zombie was split in two, and the condensed spell was instantly interrupted.
Chen Luo used Void Walk to come behind the mutant, and the Void Sword instantly killed it with one strike.
This scene shocked everyone, even Mi Ling and Mi Li, who had seen it several times, had wide eyes.
Mi Ling only felt that this combination was simply too unsolvable.
Who could withstand it?
Impossible to defend against.
Chen Luo chuckled, not caring that his Void Walk was known to others.
You know it, but you have to have a way to break it. If you can't break it, what's the use of knowing it?
Exposing it could instead deter people, like a nuclear bomb. Others would know and dare not deal with you. Would you only use it after they attacked you?
Still, more than half of the members hadn't seen Chen Luo take action, and immediately felt that they had encountered something incredible.
The leader was actually so strong?
This was a Level 6 fire-type zombie. Chen Luo happily obtained its crystal.
If he wasn't afraid of attracting Level 7 or above zombies, Chen Luo would have wanted to use a large number of members to fish.
The zombies came in waves, with the largest wave being the first wave of more than four hundred zombies.
Chen Luo quickly arrived at the door of the cake shop, directly dug out its crystal, didn't stay long, and quickly led the members away.
To Chen Luo's great surprise, this was a Level 7 ice-type crystal, a Level 7 crystal. It was the highest-level crystal Chen Luo had obtained so far.
With this, he could quickly reach Level 6.
Now, at least a Level 5 zombie could be called a mutant. A Level 3 mutating to Level 4?
Wasn't that a joke?
At least two levels above the average zombie level could be called a mutant.
For this operation, all participating members received ten points each, and Xiao Yu, who discovered the mutant, Chen Luo gave her three hundred points.
Xiao Yu didn't exchange for food, but exchanged for an elite member status.
Chen Luo also gave her an extra serving of fried chicken as a reward.
Xiao Yu said words to hit Meng Yin, this fried chicken, still with Meng Yin to enjoy together.
Just absorbed one-third of the Level 7 crystal's power, Chen Luo was promoted to Level 6 two days later.
