Chapter 16 Level Three

After advancing to level two, Chen Luo could absorb about fifty of the lowest-level crystals each day.

If they were higher-level crystals, the number would decrease accordingly. Back then, it took Chen Luo more than a week to completely absorb the Fa Wang's crystal.

Tests showed that absorbing a crystal once a day was the best method. Keeping the body in a state of hunger allowed for more absorption, which was better than absorbing one every few hours.

With a burst of pain in his mind, the crystal in Chen Luo's brain underwent a minor transformation.

Chen Luo smiled, he had advanced to a level three esper.

Only four days.

In his previous life, Chen Luo had reached this level after a month and a half.

With Fa Wang's awesome talent, even if he went all out absorbing crystals every day, it would still take him half a month to advance from level two to level three.

But Chen Luo only needed three days.

Fa Wang, ah Fa Wang, you should be glad you followed me in this life, otherwise, there would have been no need to sneak attack you.

Chen Luo's esper power, which could be called magic or mana, had not only increased in purity compared to level two, but more importantly, the quantity had almost tripled.

Void Sword could only last for five seconds before, but now it could last for twenty seconds.

His strength had greatly improved.

He was still far from being able to use Void Walk, he needed to be at least level four.

The zombies of today had not even reached the level of a level one esper, they could be said to be level zero, very weak.

After level four, the crystals of level zero zombies would be of no use to Chen Luo. At that time, his strength would not be able to increase rapidly.

Even now, the crystals of level zero zombies had very little effect on Chen Luo. If he wanted to advance to level four with them, he would need at least a thousand.

Chen Luo had very few crystals left, he had to replenish them in large quantities.

When looking for Ma Yu, he could get some near that five-star hotel.

The next morning, Chen Luo set off with Su Dazhu and Fa Wang.

When passing by the supermarket in the residential area, he saw an "interesting" scene.

A young man, whom Chen Luo recognized, was from the same residential area and lived here all year round, they saw each other often.

But he was only familiar, the neighborly relations nowadays were such that even if you lived next to me, were my neighbor, I might not even know your last name.

This young man took out more than half a bag of items from the supermarket and was in a hurry to leave.

The supplies in this supermarket had basically been taken away by Chen Luo. Chen Luo was too lazy to collect some scattered items that had fallen on the ground or were in the corners, so there was still a little bit left.

At that moment, a woman ran out of the supermarket, trying to snatch the items from the young man's hand, crying as she shouted.

"You've taken all the things in the supermarket, how am I supposed to live? Give me half."

Although it was only the fifth day of the apocalypse, everyone knew the value of supplies. Only with food could one survive.

The young man ignored her and pushed her away forcefully: "Get lost, what does it matter to me if you have food or not?"

The woman was also a ruthless person, hugging the young man: "If you don't give it to me, I'll hold on to you. When the zombies come, we'll all be finished together."

The young man immediately admitted defeat: "You really are something, I admit you're ruthless, let go of me first, and I'll share it with you."

The woman released the young man, but held onto the corner of his clothes tightly.

Unexpectedly, the young man revealed a fierce look, took out a dagger from his arms, turned around, and stabbed the woman several times.

The woman slowly fell down.

Now he didn't have to share.

Two zombies wandered over, and the young man saw Chen Luo and the others again. Afraid that Chen Luo would snatch his things, he hurriedly ran away.

As long as you were brave, even if you couldn't beat the zombies, you could rely on your speed advantage.

Chen Luo shook his head, the young man was not a good person, but what did that have to do with him?

He was not qualified to judge others because he was not a good person either.

After being reborn, Chen Luo had no intention of being a good person. Good people didn't live long, the ones who died the fastest were the good people.

I am not a hero, and I don't want to be a good person.

Getting into the heavy truck, Chen Luo thought about which route to take.

The once bustling international metropolis no longer had its former prosperity, it seemed a little silent, with the occasional roar of zombies.

Fortunately, the five-star hotel where Ma Yu was located was within the city, but not in the city center, otherwise Chen Luo would not have gone no matter what.

It was too dangerous.

If the car stopped, at least a thousand zombies would surround them.

The heavy truck driving in the city seemed a bit out of place. On weekdays, heavy trucks like Chen Luo's were prohibited from driving in the city.

Both sides of the road were basically residential areas, and many survivors were always paying attention to the situation on the road. Seeing Chen Luo's heavy truck, many would shout.

"Master, what's the situation outside? Can you tell us?"

"Master, can you bring some food up? Any amount of money is fine."

"I'll pay one hundred thousand, bring me some too, I'm not picky, bring anything."

"I'll pay one million, bring me half a kilo of pork!!!"

Chen Luo rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention. I'm not Tang Seng, and you're not the White Dragon Horse.

Such shouts usually brought trouble to Chen Luo, but Chen Luo couldn't go up to each house to teach them how to behave.

The heavy truck couldn't really go fast in the city, there were too many roadblocks and too many turns.

In less than twenty minutes, Chen Luo arrived at the back door of the Yunlai International Hotel.

Chen Luo said, "Dazhu, put on your equipment, get out of the car."

Su Dazhu nodded and put on his armor.

The two men and a dog got out of the car.

This time, Su Dazhu was not holding an electric baton, but a solid iron rod.

The electric baton had limited power. After Su Dazhu advanced to level two, his strength greatly increased, and the lethality of the iron rod was higher than that of the electric baton.

There were forty or fifty zombies following Chen Luo, and when they saw Chen Luo and Su Dazhu getting out of the car, they rushed over.

Chen Luo was still holding the electric baton, while Su Dazhu raised the iron rod and smashed it at the zombie's head.

This rod was powerful and heavy, whether it was a zombie or a survivor, they would have their heads smashed with one blow.

The zombie's head immediately cracked open, and red and white matter flowed all over the ground, it died instantly.

The head was the zombie's vital point. If Su Dazhu hit them on the body, it would be impossible for them to die easily.

Su Dazhu swung the iron rod repeatedly, and one zombie after another died in Su Dazhu's hands.

The efficiency was no worse than Chen Luo's with the electric baton at all.

If Chen Luo didn't rely on the electric baton, relying on his space ability, even Chen Luo, this level three esper, couldn't compare with Su Dazhu in terms of efficiency.

Early-stage melee esper had a great advantage.

But it couldn't be said that Chen Luo couldn't beat Su Dazhu. Zombies couldn't hurt Su Dazhu at this time, but Chen Luo could kill him with a sword.

Chen Luo could still be taken down by Su Dazhu, but Fa Wang, who was agile, had become very skilled at kiting under Chen Luo's guidance.

If he controlled the distance well, he could definitely grind Su Dazhu to death.
