Chapter 19 Rat Swarm

Chen Luo in his previous life, at level nine, controlled Void Walk, and at King level, Dimensional Blade.

It's not that you necessarily need level nine to master Void Walk; it all depends on your comprehension ability. It's not like there are NPC skill instructors teaching you skills.

Now, as long as his internal energy is sufficient, Chen Luo can use Void Walk even at level one. But clearly, at level one, it's impossible to have enough power to support Void Walk.

Chen Luo estimated that he'd need to be at least level four to barely use Void Walk, and even then, it would only be a short-distance Void Walk, a hundred meters at most.

One use would consume all of Chen Luo's alien energy.

Void Sword was the ability Chen Luo mastered at level seven, condensing the power of space to become tangible.

The Void Sword is exceptionally sharp; saying it could cut iron like mud is an understatement. It can cut the target's body in half without any blood flowing.

The pieces can't even be put back together, and healing is useless unless another powerful space-type ability user helps.

It's a powerful tool for Chen Luo to kill, rob, and ambush targets.

At his peak, the Void Sword Chen Luo condensed was almost solid and could easily last for half an hour.

Now, it's just a faint light and shadow, and it lasts for less than five seconds.

Chen Luo, exhausted, smiled, not taking it to heart. Being able to use it at all is good enough; it can already pose a threat to some existences with extremely strong defenses.

Unable to continue absorbing crystals, Chen Luo, tired from a day's work, soon fell into a dream.

Fa Wang not only has to work but also has to guard the house.

Fa Wang's hearing and sense of smell are very developed. Having it guarding the house is more effective than any bodyguard.

It will solve problems it can handle itself and notify Chen Luo of problems it can't solve.

It can be said that with Fa Wang, Chen Luo can sleep peacefully. Otherwise, Chen Luo would live a very tiring life, constantly having to guard against uninvited guests.

Fa Wang: I feel like I'm bearing a lot that I shouldn't be bearing. Dog life is full of fatigue.

The next morning, Chen Luo asked Su Dazhu and Fa Wang about their crystal absorption.

Su Dazhu said excitedly, "Brother, the method you mentioned is really effective. I feel like my strength has increased a lot. Uh, I absorbed seven crystals, I guess."

Seven is already pretty good.

Fa Wang then barked nine times in a row, meaning it ate nine.

Chen Luo chuckled. Luckily, it wasn't ninety-nine, or you'd have to bark ninety-nine times.

When I have subordinates, I might as well give you nine years of compulsory education.

Su Dazhu looked at Fa Wang with wonder. This dog is truly extraordinary. He was too hungry yesterday and didn't pay much attention, but today he realized that this dog is unusual.

But you ate nine, and I only ate seven. What's that supposed to mean?

Today, I need to go to the granary and take all the rice and flour there.

Chen Luo thought for a while and decided to take Su Dazhu with him. If Su Dazhu is willing, even if he doesn't do anything, Chen Luo is willing to support him for the rest of his life.

But clearly, Su Dazhu is not that kind of person.

Then it's better to take Su Dazhu with him, both for support and to let Su Dazhu become familiar with combat.

Chen Luo gave Su Dazhu the armor he had prepared for him, let him get used to it, and gave him two electric batons.

This set of armor is not heavy for Su Dazhu, who has good strength; it's like an ordinary person wearing winter clothes.

And Chen Luo, after advancing to a level two ability user, his strength has also obviously increased a bit, and wearing the armor seems much easier.

With everything ready, they set off.

It's not that there aren't other survivors in the community, but except for a few, they won't risk coming out unless they are forced to.

They are still observing the situation at home.

When leaving the community, Chen Luo casually took the supplies from the supermarket in his villa area.

Arriving at the place where the heavy truck was parked, Chen Luo smiled.

The heavy truck is safe and sound. Free watchmen are indeed reliable.

Seeing the zombies, Su Dazhu, with his armor and electric baton, was eager to try.

But Chen Luo stopped him: "These are all free labor. Just let Fa Wang lead them away."

Fa Wang skillfully walked the dog, easily leading away all the zombies.

Su Dazhu said somewhat dejectedly: "Why? I feel like Fa Wang, this dog, is more useful than me."

Chen Luo laughed and comforted him: "Don't compare yourself to a dog. There are things it can do that I can't do either. Everyone has their strengths."

"It dares to eat shit, do you dare?"

After Fa Wang got into the car, Chen Luo didn't drive in the direction of the granary. Instead, he headed towards the suburbs first.

To get to the granary, you have to take a detour, otherwise, you have to go through the city. With a population of thirty million in the magic city, isn't that asking for death?

Spending more time detouring is very worthwhile.

Chen Luo drove the car skillfully. Before the apocalypse, Chen Luo had specifically researched what routes there were and which routes reached the granary.

And he had been to the vicinity of the granary to scout.

On the way, there were many survivors like Huang Mao from before trying to stop the car and get a ride, but Chen Luo didn't slow down at all.

If you dare to stop me, I dare to hit you.

Chen Luo spent more than five hours traveling over a hundred kilometers to arrive.

The granary is a three-story building, quite long, but not very big overall.

Even if it's all filled with grain, it can't hold much.

But below it is a very large basement, storing an unknown amount of grain.

The areas above ground are just office spaces.

Chen Luo drove the heavy truck directly into the granary. In this spacious area, it couldn't be easier for the heavy truck to kill zombies.

Chen Luo kept circling inside the granary until he had killed almost all the zombies inside before stopping.

In the process, Chen Luo didn't see any survivors.

If there were any, they would definitely call for help when they heard the commotion on my side.

Chen Luo narrowed his eyes. There are quite a few employees at this granary; there shouldn't be no survivors at all.

Chen Luo came to the corridor leading to the basement in the office building. The door to the corridor was not closed but wide open.

The corridor was pitch black. Chen Luo took out a flashlight and shined it. Seeing a skeleton, his pupils suddenly contracted.

This is clearly a human remains. All the flesh and blood are gone, leaving only a skeleton.

There is some kind of mutated small creature in the granary.

Is it ants or rats?

Normal zombies eating humans will definitely leave some scraps of meat; they don't eat cleanly.

Only mutated creatures like ants and rats will eat so cleanly.

They are weak, their individual strength is small, but there are so many of them.

Chen Luo has seen large ant armies, groups of hundreds of thousands, and everyone has to run when they see them.

The skull of this skeleton was facing Chen Luo, and the whole body was tilted towards Chen Luo.

It can be inferred that when he walked towards the basement, he discovered the terrifying creature inside and hurriedly turned around to run, but he didn't succeed in escaping.

Chen Luo hesitated. If he encountered a staggering number of these creatures, he really wouldn't be confident that he wouldn't fail.

But if he doesn't go down to collect the grain, he won't be able to come back for a long time.

Chen Luo still gritted his teeth. I can't take the risk. It doesn't matter if I don't have it. My life is more important.

"Squeak, squeak."

Chen Luo's expression changed drastically, and he immediately grabbed Su Dazhu and ran without hesitation.

This sound is a rat swarm.
