Regret youthful ignorance
Chapter 51 Only the Loyal Get Fed
Chen Luo nodded, "It doesn't matter if their strength is a little low, character is the key. Otherwise, if they run away when they encounter danger, what's the use of high strength?"
Mi Fan didn't sense anything unusual about the four of them either.
When they arrived at Chen Luo's villa district, Chen Luo still parked the car in the old place.
Originally, the zombies in the villa district had been almost killed by Chen Luo, but now, there were some more zombies.
Zombies constantly wander.
Arriving at the door of his villa, Chen Luo pointed to a villa next door and said to Fang Yu and the other three, "This house should be empty. Clean it up first, and I'll come over to find you later."
It was impossible for Chen Luo to live with Fang Yu and the others. First, they hadn't reached the point of trust yet, and second, it was inconvenient.
Fang Yu and the others nodded.
As soon as he entered the door, Chen Luo's face darkened. The living room window was originally closed, but now it had been smashed, and the broken glass was all over the floor. There were signs that someone had ransacked the house.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Luo knew that someone had come in to search for supplies, most likely survivors in the villa district.
Shaking his head, Chen Luo was too lazy to investigate who did it. If they dare to come again when I'm home, don't blame me for being rude.
Chen Luo said, "Mi Ling and Mi Li, you guys choose a room on the third floor. Da Zhu and Sister Yu, you still live on the second floor. Then everyone, let's do a big cleaning."
Chen Luo lived on the third floor, a secret that everyone knew.
On the third floor, Chen Luo's bedroom was in the center, and Mi Ling and Mi Li chose the remaining rooms, one on the left and one on the right.
Hehehehe.
Chen Luo took out Mi Ling and Mi Li's belongings from his space and let them tidy up, then he came to the first floor.
After thinking about it, Chen Luo took out some rice, potatoes, cooking oil, salt, monosodium glutamate and other seasonings from the storage room on the first floor and put them inside.
Then he called Su Dazhu and carried a bag of rice and potatoes to where Fang Yu and the others were.
Chen Luo's hearing had also become very good. Before he even walked into the villa, he heard Fang Yu and the other three talking.
"Damn, Brother Fang, that dog is really awesome."
"I can't believe a dog has that kind of power."
"The four of us combined don't seem to be enough to beat it."
"Be confident, remove the 'seem'."
Chen Luo smiled when he heard this. This was the Lightning King, and he had received my true teachings.
The door wasn't closed, and Chen Luo coughed. Fang Yu and the other three quickly greeted him.
Chen Luo smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry. Everyone, introduce yourselves. I'm Chen Luo, this is Su Dazhu. By the way, tell me about your awakened abilities and the day you awakened after the great change."
The four of them began to introduce themselves in turn.
"My name is Fang Yu, and I'm the oldest of the four of us. I awakened on the third day. My ability is increased strength and a stronger physique."
Same as Su Dazhu.
"My name is Yang Xuan. My ability is ice. I awakened on the fifth day. If you need anything frozen, I can help you chill it."
"My name is Xu Lan. My ability is earth. I awakened on the seventh day. I can control sand and rocks, but it doesn't seem to be of much use."
Earth-type ability users are still good. Whether it's in the early or late stages, their defense is the highest among the elements. They can build tall and sturdy earth walls to resist zombies. If they grow up and reach the king level, the earthquake and summoning meteorite skills are also very powerful.
The last one was called Li Fei. He said somewhat embarrassedly, "My name is Li Fei. My ability is electricity. I also awakened on the fifth day. Compared to the dog you raised, um, there's really no comparison."
Fang Yu's talent was considered good, and the others were above average. Chen Luo had never seen these people in his previous life. Presumably, without Chen Luo, they would have already died in the mouths of zombies.
Chen Luo wasn't disappointed. It wasn't bad to have someone to help him run errands. Besides, these people weren't bad.
Chen Luo pointed to the rice and potatoes he brought and said, "Can you cook? Use these first."
Fang Yu said in astonishment, "Chen Luo, you saved our lives, and we haven't repaid you yet. How can we take your things? We'll go find some ourselves later."
Chen Luo smiled faintly, "You're being too polite. We're a team now. You're following me, so what's it to give you some food? After you eat, take a rest and sort out the supplies in the villa district this afternoon and give them to me for centralized management."
If Fang Yu and the others performed well, and Chen Luo thought they were really good, he would treat them as core members. At that time, he would tell them a little about the secrets of the supernatural space and occasionally give them some meat to eat.
Now, letting them eat the same as him, with big fish and meat every meal, wasn't that just pure brain damage?
I can't finish it all, but you haven't shown enough loyalty, so don't even think about it.
Su Dazhu was a brother who sacrificed himself to save Chen Luo in his previous life, so Chen Luo was willing to let Su Dazhu eat and drink spicy food with him. If he had something to eat, he would never give him less.
Mi Ling and Mi Li were the future... those who understand, understand.
Ma Yu was considered a royal chef, and Chen Luo was cultivating her as a confidant. He still had to rely on her to cook.
Fang Yu didn't hesitate and nodded, "Okay, just watch our performance in the future."
Chen Luo took out a walkie-talkie and handed it to Fang Yu, "It'll be more convenient to contact each other with this in the future."
This walkie-talkie didn't require a signal, and its maximum communication range was up to two kilometers. It was very convenient to use when mobile phones couldn't be used.
When he returned home, Ma Yu said helplessly, "Chen Luo, the natural gas here is cut off. Do you want to use an induction cooker to cook?"
When Chen Luo heard this, he was prepared. He took out two gas tanks from his space and sent one to Fang Yu and the others.
Survivors didn't have much need for natural gas. After a gathering point was established, if they really needed to make a fire, fire-type ability users could provide the fire. They didn't have any dishes to stir-fry anyway, at most they would boil some rice.
After eating, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Luo gathered Fang Yu and the other three.
"We'll be settling here for a long time in the future. Let's scout the entire villa district first. Ignore the villas with people for now. If there's no one, find the supplies inside. Also, collect the matching car keys. It'll be more convenient to have a car."
If there were survivors, Chen Luo wouldn't cause them trouble for no reason. He would let them live and die on their own for now. When there were more people, if they were suitable, he would let them join. If they weren't suitable, he would give them some food to send them away.
This was already a very gentle way of handling things. If he encountered unreasonable people who refused to leave, then they shouldn't even think about leaving.
……
This is the third update for today. Two chapters were already updated at dawn.
This book updates three times a day. Occasionally, when I'm not feeling well or have something to do, it'll be two updates, and it's really occasional.
There is no manuscript saved at the moment. When things stabilize, I will choose a fixed time for regular updates.
The protagonist's abilities are not strong in the early stages. This is deliberately set up this way, only to ensure that he is invincible in one-on-one battles among the survivors, but group fights don't count. Otherwise, if the protagonist becomes invincible against ten thousand enemies, what's the point of hoarding so many supplies? It would also be a disservice to the title of the book.
In the early stages, I will still use the hoarded supplies to create satisfying points, and rely on personal strength in the mid-to-late stages.
To be conservative, there will be rice to eat within a maximum of two hundred thousand words.
