Chapter 187
Zhao Hai had just talked to Chen Luo about Zhao Ziyi last night, and now Zhao Ziyi appeared before Chen Luo.
This is the benefit of intelligence; otherwise, Chen Luo wouldn’t have known that a “spy” had infiltrated.
Chen Luo was stunned. Same abilities, same name, similar age—it’s highly unlikely they share both name and surname.
Chen Guang said, “I heard this girl came in and finished nine bowls of noodles for us.”
Is she here just to eat and drink for free?
Chen Luo didn’t expose her; he first checked her ability.
Without asking about other abilities, Chen Luo directly asked Zhao Ziyi, “Tell me about your telepathic ability.”
Zhao Ziyi responded, “Currently, I can connect with up to three people, engaging in long-distance mental communication with them. I don’t know how far exactly, as I haven’t experimented yet.”
Zhao Zichen and Zhao Ziyi were over forty miles apart, but they could communicate effortlessly.
Chen Luo had seen the most powerful telepaths, and it seemed they didn’t have this distance limitation—of course, they were of a much higher level.
Chen Luo had Zhao Ziyi attach a thread of her mental power to Chen Guang and had him go to the entrance of the base.
Zhao Ziyi used mental communication to bring Chen Guang back.
After Chen Guang returned, he looked amazed, “Really amazing, just like a phone. But, isn’t three people too few?”
Zhao Ziyi curled her lips, finding it insufficient. If you think so, why don’t you do it?
Chen Luo smiled. If it works, it’s fine. If Zhao Ziyi has talent, Chen Luo wants to quickly cultivate her to level five—like playing a game.
Without time to experiment on Zhao Ziyi’s maximum transmission distance, Chen Luo needed to meet with Da Zhuang. Perhaps Da Zhuang would bring a surprise.
After thinking, Chen Luo brought Zhao Ziyi along.
Zhao Ziyi didn’t think much about it; there were plenty of people more attractive than her in the base. Besides, she wasn’t afraid of being targeted.
But Zhao Ziyi was puzzled, “Is it too dangerous for just the two of us to go out?”
Even if her brother was level five, short distances were fine, but she didn’t dare to go alone for long distances.
Chen Luo smiled, “Rest assured; those who dare to stop me are no longer breathing.”
Driving some distance, it wasn’t just Chen Luo who built a base outside the city.
Dozens of people appeared at the intersection ahead. Chen Luo just honked the horn and drove through without slowing down.
Someone anxiously shouted, “It’s Boss Chen’s car; quickly move aside!”
These people stood on both sides of the road, bowing respectfully.
Zhao Ziyi’s mouth widened; how majestic.
All the way, no one dared to stop Chen Luo’s car.
Perhaps those a bit farther didn’t recognize Chen Luo’s car, but why would the people nearby not want to associate with him?
After witnessing this a few times, Zhao Ziyi became convinced and started focusing on her snacks and nutrition drinks.
Chen Luo glanced at her. She’s really a foodie; after finishing nine bowls of noodles, she can still eat more.
Soon, the snacks were gone. Zhao Ziyi even licked the packaging of the spicy strips. She didn’t finish the nutrition drink in one go; spicy strips wouldn’t taste good if not finished early.
Arriving at the agreed-upon location with Da Zhuang, not seeing him yet, Chen Luo reclined his seat and played with his phone.
Zhao Ziyi stared at him, eyes fixed without blinking.
Chen Luo smiled, “Is it interesting?”
Zhao Ziyi vigorously nodded. Only heaven knows how she would pass the days without a phone.
Chen Luo said, “Then continue watching.”
Da Zhuang walked over from a distance, accompanied by a ragged zombie.
The zombie sneered, “You said there’s someone who thinks he’s more awesome than me? I’ll show him what’s what. Damn, how dare he not acknowledge my superiority.”
Da Zhuang nodded and flattered, “Exactly, teach him a lesson.”
However, Da Zhuang wasn’t optimistic. Once, I brought in a big shot who was much more powerful than you, but he got into trouble and almost died.
It’s really tricky.
But based on his hint, I’m already level five now. Just yesterday, I picked up an advanced crystal.
Feeling good.
When Da Zhuang arrived, Chen Luo noticed and put down his phone, leaning out of the car window warmly.
“Da Zhuang is here. If you come, just come. Why bring friends? It’s really unnecessary.”
Da Zhuang cursed inwardly. Didn’t you ask me to bring him?
However, Zhao Ziyi felt a chill all over her body. From the zombie next to Da Zhuang, she sensed an extremely dangerous aura.
This was unprecedented.
The sixth sense of those with telepathic abilities was good, and her intuition told her that this zombie was extraordinarily powerful.
The zombie squinted, sensing it wasn’t one of its kind. In a cold tone, it said, “Da Zhuang, you never mentioned he’s a human. I thought he was one of us.”
“Daring to challenge me, I’ll eat you.”
Zhao Ziyi’s mind went blank. You really got me killed, Chen Luo.
Chen Luo’s smile remained unchanged. It’s probably a trick played by Da Zhuang.
No need for too much talk with it; time acceleration.
This time, time acceleration consumed more than two-thirds of Chen Luo’s abilities. He was pleasantly surprised; it indicated this zombie had a high level.
The zombie didn’t use any abilities and just dropped dead, face down.
A loud thud.
Da Zhuang was startled, trembling. If he wasn’t so powerful, I’d definitely beat him until he handed over the antidote.
Zhao Ziyi was confused. What’s going on? Playing dead? There’s no need.
It wasn’t until Chen Luo dug out its crystal that Zhao Ziyi understood it was truly dead.
The zombie that made her feel despair miraculously dropped dead in front of Chen Luo?
No, this was too unbelievable. Zhao Ziyi was dumbfounded.
Chen Luo’s smiley face patted Da Zhuang’s shoulder. “Well done.”
This time, Da Zhuang brought a level seven earth-type crystal.
Earth-type defense was strong, but time acceleration completely ignored defense.
Da Zhuang forced a smile.
Suddenly, Da Zhuang was shocked, “What are you doing, hands off.”
“Big brother, please don’t.”
Chen Luo figured Da Zhuang might have found some mutant’s corpse, obtained a crystal, and wanted to check it. Anyway, there was no harm in searching.
Da Zhuang dodged left and right, refusing to let Chen Luo search him. If Chen Luo did, the crystal on his body would be exposed.
Chen Luo cheered, “Let me check.”
Soon, resisting Da Zhuang was futile. Tears streamed down his face, and the crystal on his body fell into Chen Luo’s hands.
Chen Luo smiled, holding the level seven light-type crystal. Very good.
This Da Zhuang is really my lucky star.
Da Zhuang was truly crying. I finally found it, and I haven’t absorbed much yet.
Chen Luo shouted, “Why cry? A grown man crying like a baby is unacceptable. Big brother didn’t take it for nothing. I’ll give it back to you in a year, no, I’ll give you three more.”
Only Da Zhuang had decent intelligence; otherwise, Chen Luo wouldn’t have been able to fool him. “Return it to you in a year” meant nothing.
Is ten thousand dollars from ten years ago the same as ten thousand dollars now?
Is a level seven crystal a year later the same as a level seven crystal now?
What if Da Zhuang cooperated with Chen Luo a year later? Three more what?
Oh, three level four crystals.
Poor Da Zhuang.
