Many leaders do this, fearing that powerful individuals might betray them, so they suppress others' level advancements!
However, Zhou Yiming didn't care,
Because he was the only one in their base who awakened his abilities on the first day, and it was metal-elemental, known for its attack power.
Under such circumstances, he had no fear of anyone harboring any ill intentions!
"Fortunately, we didn't interfere, otherwise, we might not have been their opponents either!"
A high-ranking official said thankfully,
The enemy had too many people, completely overwhelming them, and they didn't know if there were any awakened individuals inside the earthen wall. If they had charged forward, they wouldn't even know how they died!
"Let's go back and wait for them to run out of supplies and perish!"
Zhou Yiming sighed.
With minimal casualties at the Dawn Base, a frontal confrontation was not suitable!
Although they coveted the supplies here,
The enemy's strength made them flinch!
The group eventually left in disappointment.
The area before the earthen wall was littered with corpses,
The thick smell of blood attracted countless zombies, so for the personnel of the Dawn Base, the battle was not over.
However, Wang Luo joined the fray this time; his Myriad Thunder was well-suited for large-scale zombie clearing!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for surviving in the apocalypse for another three months. S-class wind elemental ability has been upgraded to SSS-class!"
The system's sudden voice startled Wang Luo, "Has it really been three months already?"
"Time passed quite quickly in this life, so much so that I barely paid attention!"
Mainly, he spent his days idly, with no concept of time, and three months passed without him realizing it!
At that very moment,
Wang Luo felt a surge of power sweep through his entire body, as if his physique had been enhanced by another sliver.
"Palm Blade!"
To experience the difference, he once again unleashed this basic elemental technique.
A cyan light permeated the Black Abyss and swept across,
Screeching~~~
The heads of zombies were directly severed.
"Didn't feel much of a difference!"
Mainly, the bronze-level zombies were too weak.
"Gale Blade!"
With over a dozen wind blades unleashed, Wang Luo's eyes lit up. This time, he noticed the change; the destructive power of the wind blades was much stronger than before, cutting through large swathes of zombie bodies as they passed.
"This is SSS-class wind elemental ability!"
Wang Luo was overjoyed; he finally had an SSS-class ability!
"Ding! Please host continue to survive in the apocalypse for five more months. Reward: SSS-class wood elemental ability!"
The system's voice reappeared, making Wang Luo excited again, "Another SSS-class ability?"
He had thought it might be an elemental technique or something similar, but he hadn't expected another SSS-class ability.
"Great, the more the merrier!"
He never had too many abilities.
"I just wonder when my E-class lightning elemental ability will be upgraded to SSS-class!"
At that time, SSS-class abilities combined with SSS-class elemental techniques would have unimaginable power!
"Wait, since there's a Divine Azure Dragon ability, could there be a Divine Lightning Elemental Ability?"
If he could upgrade his lightning elemental ability to divine level, it would be even more perfect!
While others were slaughtering zombies,
Zhao Qingxuan was interrogating the few survivors.
"Changlong City Base Number One!"
"There are a total of three bases in Changlong City. Other smaller factions have either been annexed or eliminated, so we had to leave Changlong City to find food in other cities!"
The awakened individual who was captured confessed truthfully.
"Because the three bases are of comparable strength, none can defeat the others, so they had to set their sights on other cities!"
From their mouths, Zhao Qingxuan learned that the three bases, to conserve supplies, had already driven out ordinary people, leaving only some beautiful women.
Even when plundering supplies from other cities, it was the same: only beautiful women and supplies were kept. Of course, handsome men were also included. Everyone else was either banished or killed!
On the earthen wall,
Many people overheard their words,
"I didn't expect things outside to have become this way!"
Qi Lianyun sighed.
"We've lived too comfortably!" Qi Sheng said.
Their lives had hardly changed compared to before the apocalypse.
At this moment, Wang Luo walked over and said calmly, "It's fortunate they were merely driven out. In other places, cannibalism might have already emerged, or people might be living like savages in the mountains and forests, eating tree bark!"
"Wang Luo, what should we do?"
Zhao Qingxuan asked.
"What do you mean, 'what should we do'? Since they dared to set their sights on us, naturally we will strike back!"
"How do we strike back? Declare war?"
"As the saying goes, to not return a courtesy is impolite. We will take people and go raid their supplies directly!"
Changlong City Base Number One,
Wang Luo already knew who the enemy leader was.
She was also an SSS-class awakened individual, known as the "Ice Queen," Zhou Leng.
However, in his previous life, Wang Luo had little interaction with her; he had only heard her name. After all, she was SSS-class, and he was only S-class; their circles were different!
"It's still quite a distance to Changlong City. If we go too far, our base's safety might not be guaranteed!"
Qi Lianyun worried.
They were indeed the largest base in Anluo City, but "Butcher" Zhou Yiming's influence was not to be underestimated, and he was an SSS-class awakened individual with immense power.
Although they hadn't clashed with him, they were well aware of his information.
Among them,
Only Zhao Qingxuan could contend with the opponent; the rest of them were not qualified.
However, Qi Lianyun and the others looked at Wang Luo, perhaps he could too!
"It's alright. We'll have Shushu lead the team, and I'll accompany her!"
Wang Luo said.
The main reason was that Changlong City had three factions, and all three leaders were SSS-class. He couldn't rest assured for them to go alone.
Zhao Qingxuan nodded with relief,
With Wang Luo accompanying them, she was no longer worried about Shushu's safety.
"How many people do we need to bring?" Zhao Qingxuan asked.
"Just bring a small contingent for show. To catch the thief, you must first catch the king. As long as we capture their leader, there's no need for a war!"
Wang Luo said casually.
"I want to go with him!"
Qi Lianyun actively stated.
"What's this? You have feelings for Wang Luo? That won't do; he can't be swayed by you!"
Zhao Qingxuan quickly said.
"Boss, you're overthinking it. I just want to witness the great master's might!"
Qi Lianyun explained.
He hadn't forgotten how a single glance from the opponent back then had made them all kneel.
So he wanted to see the Changlong City factions defeated without a fight.
"Then I want to go too!"
Qi Sheng also joined in. He wanted to see Wang Luo transform into a dragon.
"That's enough, you two. You're not this enthusiastic when dealing with women!"
Zhao Qingxuan snorted lightly, "Qi Lianyun, you're not going. Your organization's personnel will guard the earthen wall!"
"And Qi Sheng, don't expect Wang Luo to transform into a dragon. His current low level means his internal energy can't sustain such a powerful elemental technique as dragon transformation. You know how he looked last time!"
