Post-apocalyptic World: Stockpile Ten Billion Supplies at the Beginning

The mutant, with its inherently short lifespan, seemed to have had its life accelerated to the point of burning out in an instant due to Chen Luo’s use of time acceleration. However, utilizing this mysterious ability had taken a severe toll on Chen Luo, even he couldn’t withstand it. He, too, collapsed to the ground.

Coincidentally, the Thunderbolt King had returned and, upon seeing Chen Luo lying on the ground, let out a heart-wrenching cry before rushing to Chen Luo’s side.

Tears streamed uncontrollably from the Thunderbolt King’s eyes. “What happened to you? Don’t scare me.”

Mi Li also cried as she desperately used her healing abilities on Chen Luo, but it had no effect. Chen Luo’s unconsciousness was beyond what Mi Li could currently heal.

Meanwhile, Mi Ling, with teary eyes, forced herself to stay composed. She gave orders, “Close the main gate, and until Chen Luo wakes up, no one is to leave the base. Defend the base diligently.”

Chen Guang, Chen Lei, and the others looked at Chen Luo with deep concern before directing their gaze to the fallen guards who had sacrificed their lives.

Su Dazhu carried Chen Luo and placed him in a room, with Mi Li and Mi Ling following closely behind. Chen Luo showed no response, and if it weren’t for the faint breaths, it might have been unbearable for them.

The Thunderbolt King shouted frantically, “How could you all just stand there when something’s happened to the boss? Why is it only him?”

Even though Rice was also worried, she tried to reassure him, saying, “Don’t worry; I foresaw that something might happen to him, but he won’t die. In fact, something big might turn out in his favor.”

The Thunderbolt King retorted, “You dare talk nonsense; if he doesn’t wake up, I’ll bite you to death.”

Rice replied, annoyed, “Bite me to death? Intimacy level -20.”

In the evening, Ma Yu timidly suggested, “It’s been a whole day without eating. Shouldn’t we have something to eat? I’ve prepared some food.”

Rice sighed, thinking, “I told them there’s nothing to worry about, and that there might be benefits, why don’t they believe me?”

With Rice around, everyone felt much more at ease.

Su Dazhu kept watch outside the villa, while Mi Ling guarded the room’s entrance. Inside the room, Mi Li and the Thunderbolt King stood by.

On the third day in the afternoon, Chen Luo finally woke up, still feeling a severe headache. Mi Li, looking haggard, exclaimed with joy, “Brother, you’re awake!”

Chen Luo managed a weak smile.

The Thunderbolt King also cheered, “These past two days, I haven’t been able to earn any points.”

Just regaining consciousness, Chen Luo felt a bit confused but soon remembered what had happened two days ago.

“What ability did I use to accelerate the death of a mutation so drastically? It seemed like it fast-forwarded countless times and died instantly. What is this power? I’ve never seen anything like it,” Chen Luo wondered.

“Time acceleration? Could it be that I’ve awakened a second ability?” Chen Luo tried to feel the crystal in his mind to confirm but was met with an even more excruciating headache. In addition to the spatial ability, there was now another energy type in the crystal, one Chen Luo had encountered and absorbed before.

“Time-based ability!” Chen Luo realized. He jumped up from the bed. “Time-based ability! This is incredible!” Chen Luo couldn’t believe it.

“My second ability is actually time-based? That’s an extremely rare power. In the spatial category, there’s about one person among five or six thousand who possesses it. As for time-based abilities, I’ve only seen one in my previous life. The crucial point is, this is only my second ability. My first ability is spatial!” Chen Luo marveled at the extraordinary nature of his newfound power.

“Time and space, is this… spacetime?” Chen Luo pondered, thinking back to the only time-based ability user he had encountered in his previous life.

Among both zombies and survivors, there had been only one individual with a time-based ability, an unparalleled existence. Chen Luo used to sneak into Mi Ling’s base to steal some vegetables, not taking much, just enough for a few days’ worth of meals. Mi Ling was furious but helpless in front of a spatial ability user like Chen Luo.

But Chen Luo met his match in an unbelievable, almost inconceivable ability. What kind of power could counter the Void king, Chen Luo?

One day, Chen Luo did as he usually did, taking four cucumbers, two tomatoes, and a large cabbage. Growing vegetables was tough work, so Chen Luo didn’t want to take too much.

As he appeared, he was immediately discovered; after all, this small cultivation area was heavily guarded. Chen Luo shrugged and was about to leave, thinking, “Who can stop me?”

However, Mi Ling revealed herself and coldly said, “Chen Luo, you can’t leave.”

Chen Luo tried to laugh but couldn’t. Suddenly, he realized he couldn’t move his body. Not even blinking his eyes was possible. His abilities inside him were also unresponsive. Chen Luo tried to use Void Walk to escape, but he couldn’t do it.

Chen Luo was frozen like a statue, completely immobilized.

Mi Ling was accompanied by a woman in her twenties named Jiang Chuxue, who appeared beside her with a faint smile.

“How is my time freeze?” she asked.

Chen Luo couldn’t fathom it; how could such an ability exist in this world?

Mi Ling, in her anger, kicked Chen Luo in the rear, and he couldn’t avoid it.

Mi Li said, “Don’t kill him. We finally have a chance to talk. How about we cooperate and survive this apocalypse together?”

Just a dozen seconds later, Chen Luo broke free from the control. Time freeze couldn’t last indefinitely. After using it just once, the user appeared fatigued.

Chen Luo recognized an opportunity and didn’t escape using Void Walk after the control ended. Mi Li’s suggestion did not sit well with others.

“What Void King? He’s more like Void Sixth,” someone remarked.

“He’s a big troublemaker,” another chimed in.

“Despicable and shameless, even worse than Thunderbolt King,” someone sneered.

Jiang Chuxue also frowned, showing a disdainful expression, “So he’s just a Void Sixth.”

Did Chen Luo really not care about his reputation? Despite the disgust and contempt from others, Chen Luo could still thrive better than anyone else.

Chen Luo ran away but dared not show up inside Mi Ling’s base again. He continued to observe Jiang Chuxue, the time user.

Through several battles, Chen Luo observed that Jiang Chuxue was also a King-ranked individual. She had come from another city to Mi Ling’s base and had a group of followers.

Jiang Chuxue’s unique ability was time freezing, but she could only use it once on a single target. Despite its limitations, it was still an incredible power.

Even so, it can be said to be a miraculous thing. He can’t move his opponent, and he can’t use his powers. So he’s still at the mercy of others?

In the seventh year of the apocalypse, the entire human army was wiped out, and the monsters that appeared seemed to be looking for something, digging three feet into the ground.

No, after digging three thousand meters into the ground, there is no way there would be a hiding place for humans.

Even with the ability to freeze time, it was useless. In terms of escape, it was not on the same level as Chen Luo’s Void Walk.

Everyone had perished, and the creatures seemed to be exceptionally astonished by Jiang Chuxue’s time-based abilities.

Chen Luo appeared, shoved Jiang Chuxue’s body into the void, and then fled.

The creatures could only seethe with impotent rage towards Chen Luo.

Time-based crystals? I haven’t absorbed those yet.

Unfortunately, they didn’t seem to have any special effects.

The memory ended.

Having two different abilities would raise the crystal’s quality level. In the early stages, it would increase by two levels. This meant that Chen Luo, who was currently at level six, had a crystal quality of level eight.

The quality of the ability itself would also see a significant improvement, allowing Chen Luo to use less ability power to achieve the same level of effect.

The energy emitted by the crystal would also enhance Chen Luo’s physical attributes to level eight.

Jiang Chuxue could only use time freezing, but I can use time acceleration, which she can’t do.

Chen Luo couldn’t help but wonder, do I have a talent for time-based abilities too?

But damn, my crystal is shattered, and it won’t recover for three months.
