Chapter 61 : C61
Early the next morning, they had to go to their next destination.
Although the safe zone Gu Chi chose was the closest, it took them at least four or five days to go all the way.
A long journey, logically speaking, made people feel tired. But there had been no signs of that since they left headquarters.
“That… I want to talk about something,” Mu Yu suddenly said when they gathered together for dinner at night.
Lu Yunfei smiled and said, “Why are you being so formal?”
Mu Yu looked at the crowd, blushing a little, as if excited, “Last night, my fire ability and space ability have both broken through to fourth-level.”
Gu Chi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, “Congratulations! Dual-ability holders are very few in the first place, and it’s hard for them to upgrade to fourth-level.”
“It’s a big breakthrough.”
“Ahem,” Lu Yunfei suddenly coughed twice.
After attracting everyone’s attention, he said unhurriedly, “Actually, my ability has reached fifth-level two days ago.”
The excitement on Mu Yu’s face turned into disbelief, “Fifth-level?”
There were only a handful of people with fifth-level ability in the entire alliance, such as Xu Nian from the No. 9 safe zone.
With such a level of ability, he could completely become the commander-in-chief of the A-level security zone in the alliance. Even if they didn’t go to the safe zone, the fifth-level ability holders still had a great say in the alliance headquarters.
Song Shi smiled and said, “A few days ago, I was afraid that everyone’s expectations would be too high, so I didn’t say anything. I should also be stuck on the line of breakthrough.”
“I seem to…” Lin Xun, who had been silent beside her, also said, “Although I’m still fourth-level, I can feel that I’m not far from breaking through fifth-level.”
“D-mn,” Mu Yu said while leaning back.
Come on, she was still at the bottom of the team.
The smile on Gu Chi’s lips gradually faded away, “Everyone’s abilities increased at the same time, which is not quite right.”
Lu Yunfei scratched his chin, “But I didn’t feel any abnormalities in my body, it seems that the speed of growth is a little faster.”
Gu Chi frowned.
“When did you start feeling this way?”
Lu Yunfei pondered for a while, and then said, “I can’t remember the exact time, but it seems to be the time after I left the headquarters.”
“It should have been in those few days,” Mu Yu replied.
“It’s weird, how can everyone’s abilities increase so quickly?”
Just as everyone was thinking hard, Chi Ying, who had been silently gnawing radish, suddenly raised her head.
Realizing something, she looked down at the bowl of sweet radish soup in her hand.
Ah…
This was the cause!
Noticing that Chi Ying had been staring at the radish in her hand thoughtfully, Gu Chi paused.
At that moment, he also remembered that he seemed to have heard someone mention it when he was at the headquarters. Yun Ling had the ability to enhance people’s abilities. That radish was already very unusual, and Chi Ying also mentioned at the time that it was Yun Ling’s ability.
Could it be that the radish was really the reason?
“Chi Ying.”
“Huh?” Chi Ying recovered.
“That friend of yours?” Gu Chi asked.
Chi Ying nodded, “It should be.”
She didn’t expect that a radish could make Mu Yu’s abilities rise so quickly…
“Which friend?” Lu Yunfei asked curiously.
“A girl in Ye Wuhan’s team has the ability to increase the level of people’s abilities,” Gu Chi replied.
“It seems that we owe her a favor.”
Song Shi looked at the soup in her hand and suddenly lost her appetite.
How did Chi Ying, who just joined the headquarters not long ago, make such a powerful friend? Whether it was Gu Chi, or that woman she had never heard of who could make people upgrade…
Why did everyone want to be with her? Was it just because of her pretty face?
She lowered her eyes unwillingly. Her knuckles were turning red due to the force she was holding onto the white porcelain bowl.
A few days later, both Lu Yunfei and Song Shi’s abilities had broken through fifth-level. It was just that on the night Song Shi broke through, she acted abnormally calm.
The team finally arrived near their destination.
The abnormal place where the zombies reported by the exploration team was a little far from the nearby B-level safety zone. To save time, they simply didn’t go to the safety zone to spend the night.
Different from the previous situation, that time when they came to the location on the locator, they realized that it was a deserted wilderness.
“Captain, how could the lead.. appear here?” Lu Yunfei saw Bai Qing behind him, and swallowed the word “leader” abruptly.
“Well, it is indeed different from the situation we encountered before, but it is not surprising.”
The birth of the leader was random, which was considered normal in that kind of place.
Lu Yunfei stopped the car and said, “Then where are we going now? The location shown on the locator is near here, but the zombies can’t stay in the same place forever…”
Gu Chi pondered for a moment, then he said, “At first, I thought their target would be the nearby B-level security zone, but after contacting their person in charge, they didn’t find anything abnormal.”
“That is to say, they have no purpose?”
“No, their goal might be somewhat different from what we speculated.”
“Then what should we do?” Lu Yunfei raised his head.
They were at an impasse. If they continued to search for the leader, they would have to spend a lot of time and energy like a headless chicken, and there may not be a result. But if they gave up there and went directly to the next location where the leader may appear, it would be equivalent to putting the nearby safe zone at risk.
They were in a dilemma.
“They must have left some traces. It has been nearly half a month since we received the alarm. We have to do something.”
“It will be much more efficient to do this.”
“Okay,” Lu Yunfei restarted the car.
