TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 70

Chapter 70 Upgrade

Xie YunChuan took out all the zombie crystal cores he had stored up.

Not enough, still not enough. If he only had one type of ability, these crystal cores would be enough to level up once.

But he had three types. After absorbing all the crystal core energy, it would be divided into three parts, which was far from enough to break through and level up.

He had to upgrade quickly. From the moment he entered the base, in addition to the blatant gazes of covetousness on the street, he sensed that there were many low-level zombies in the base!

In the past, where there were low-level zombies, there would always be one or two higher-level ones hiding behind them. He didn’t know what was going on with the zombies in the base.

The energy fluctuations came from underground, but didn’t this huge base have at least a dozen ability users? For so long, hadn’t anyone in the base discovered the zombies hidden underground?

Or were those zombies deliberately gathered there by someone? So the ability users and leaders of the base had reached some kind of agreement, allowing zombies to threaten their lives at any time?

Human nature is often more terrifying than zombies. Xie YunChuan was more inclined to believe the latter, so he had to improve his abilities as soon as possible. Humans with power and intelligence are more difficult to deal with than zombies with power but no intelligence.

It’s easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. Head-on attacks rely purely on strength, while insidious backstabs are impossible to defend against.

He tried to absorb all the crystal core power with his wood-type ability. Years of training allowed him to precisely control the use of each ability.

Facts proved that his three abilities could be completely separated to absorb crystal cores and upgrade individually.

After completely absorbing the energy, he felt his body’s strength rapidly becoming full. When he reached a certain critical point, he clearly felt his whole body immersed in a sense of icy coolness.

Then the energy that had been unable to find an outlet suddenly burst open and was rapidly absorbed again. His wood-type ability successfully upgraded to level two. Now only the water-type ability remained at level one.

There was no feeling of energy blockage preventing a breakthrough like before. He carefully recalled the feeling just now. The icy power actively dispersed and traveled throughout his body after the energy was full.

A clear force gathered together, wrapping the wood-type ability crystal core in his body. Then the crystal core seemed to be peeling off an outer layer, prying open the inside, stuffing all the energy in one go, and closing again.

The feeling of energy congestion disappeared, replaced by strands of pure, vibrant energy emitted from the wood-type crystal core, nourishing his whole body.

He spread his palm and summoned the symbiotic vines of his wood-type ability, and found that their shape had become larger, with more branches. The originally bare wooden vines were now covered with green leaves, and he could clearly feel their exuberant vitality.

Those energies seemed to be emitted from the bead he had absorbed into his body before. It seemed that his last upgrade was not a coincidence, but entirely due to the bead. He just didn’t know what it was. If he could find a few more, that would be great.

He really didn’t know a treasure when he saw one. Did he think it was a common cabbage that he could find whenever he wanted? There were only a few in total. Where could he find more?

Night fell, and Luo Shuyou had already fallen asleep. Xie YunChuan looked at his adorable sleeping face, and his heart warmed. Saying he was just a little zombie, his small breathing sound when he fell asleep was so obvious, more and more like a living person.

Xie YunChuan knew that his Luo Shuyou was special. His skin would not rot, his body muscles would not stiffen, and now he could even speak.

But he was indeed a little zombie who wanted to bite people, eat human flesh, and couldn’t survive without human blood.

Sometimes Xie YunChuan was confused. He thought he could just treat him as a little zombie, take good care of him, and keep him by his side. He could live happily without worries for the rest of his life.

But his various peculiarities forced Xie YunChuan to consider whether his Luo Shuyou could really recover to normal. Since it was a virus, there must be a corresponding vaccine serum.

When the day it was developed came, would his Luo Shuyou still be able to accept treatment and become a normal person?

Everything was unknown, and he now, not to mention finding a way to treat Luo Shuyou, couldn’t even protect himself when encountering a slightly higher-level zombie.

Too weak, still too weak. He needed to become stronger, needed to become incredibly powerful, to protect Luo Shuyou in the end of the world.

For several days in a row, Xie YunChuan took Luo Shuyou everywhere to inquire about the situation. He saw the lives of ordinary people in the base who were as thin as withered wood.

He saw the inhumane ability users who relied on their strength to bully the weak, and saw the disgusting faces of those so-called base leaders.

This was not like a human shelter in the end of the world, but more like a clearly stratified old slave society, a paradise for ability users, and another sea of ​​misery for ordinary people.

No wonder Gu Tangxi and her sister chose to go to Li City with him without any nostalgia for the base. Maybe they had already seen through the corrupt and decadent scene in the base.

To be honest, even if this Half-Moon City base was not captured by zombies, it would definitely not survive for long. It was a pity for those ordinary people who were willing to be slaves to stay in the base in order to avoid zombies. Even if they were not starved to death, they would not survive for long in the end.

In the base, besides the leader Fan Liangchang, the second most authoritative person was a Dr. Cheng. This was the researcher Xie YunChuan wanted to find. Very good, at least he didn’t come in vain.

However, this Dr. Cheng had a bad reputation, but there was no one with a good reputation in the base. The only ability user they could hear a few words of praise for among ordinary people was a man named Xu Yuze.

But he should be dead now. It was said that he never came back after a mission before. The base generally assumed that those who hadn’t returned for a long time were already dead.

It was said that Cheng Xie was doing a study on feeding living people to zombies. This confirmed Xie YunChuan’s previous guess that the zombies underground were deliberately brought in by people from the base.

So many low-level zombies, how did they get them in?

Lin Yi and Lin Yan were in Cheng Xie’s research institute. Why didn’t he hear any news about Lu Yunzhou? Didn’t he say before that he would come to Half-Moon City base with Lin Yi and the others?

Did they separate halfway, or did Lu Yunzhou encounter an accident?

Whatever, whether he lives or dies depends on his luck!

Xie YunChuan planned to explore the so-called zombie gathering place tonight. Since it had been determined that the zombies were artificially gathered, there was no need to worry about higher-level zombies that he couldn’t deal with being inside.

There were a lot of zombies inside. Killing them all and getting a pile of crystal cores back would be an unexpected gain.

It didn’t do much good for him to absorb low-level crystal cores now, but, as a side matter, he could take them back for Gu Tangxi and the others.

Moreover, he needed to see what the situation was like inside. Perhaps he would be lucky enough to meet one or two people being studied by Cheng Xie and could learn about it in advance.
