Chapter 54 The Flame Knight

Facing such a powerful individual, how could they possibly resist?

"How is it?"

"Do you still need to test my strength again?"

Wang Luo walked forward with a light laugh.

"I admit I'm not your opponent!" Huangpu Yu said in a deep voice.

"Therefore, take whatever supplies you want from us!"

"Boss!!!"

"It's fine, we have plenty of supplies anyway. How much can he possibly take?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

That's right! They had so many supplies here. How much could one person possibly carry?

Wang Luo smiled but said nothing, heading directly towards their supply depot.

After a long while, when he emerged again, everyone looked at him strangely. He hadn't taken anything at all?

As he was leaving, Wang Luo smiled and said to Huangpu Yu, "If you're looking to join other factions, you might consider the East City Villa District. The treatment there is quite good!"

With that, he rode off on his horse, a picture of潇洒.

"Hmph, we have so many supplies here, why would we need to join other factions!" someone scoffed dismissively.

But when they entered the supply depot, they were stunned.

"Where are the supplies?"

"Where did all our supplies go?"

...

Riding on the back of the horse king, Wang Luo whistled, in a very good mood.

As expected of the supply bureau, the sheer quantity of various materials inside was immense. It wasn't just food, but also many daily necessities. Wang Luo found quite a bit of partially thawed frozen meat, which were all certified food products! These were reserves prepared by the state to prevent food shortages.

"Neigh~~~" The horse king suddenly neighed and began to gallop at full speed.

"What's wrong?" Wang Luo asked curiously. He looked around; there was no zombie horde.

The horse king's speed was incredible, now comparable to a motorcycle! As it galloped, its mane flowed in the wind.

Suddenly, a burst of fire erupted. The horse king's four legs, head, and tail were all engulfed in fierce red flames.

"Holy hell!" Wang Luo exclaimed. Had the horse king comprehended another special ability?

"Is my fur going to burn off!" Wang Luo felt a wave of heat and panicked for a moment.

However, his worries proved unfounded. Although a scorching heat washed over his body, his clothes remained undamaged. It seemed the horse king had managed to control its ability.

"Hahaha! Horse King, you're so cool!" Wang Luo patted the horse king's neck. The horse king truly looked magnificent now. With red flames burning on its legs, head, and tail, and Wang Luo seated on its back, he resembled a flaming knight.

"Neigh~~~" I, old horse, feel very dashing right now. Absolutely scorching!

At the entrance of the villa district, Zhao Qingxuan had assigned four awakened soldiers to guard the area, preventing any unauthorized personnel from entering and causing damage.

"Holy crap, what is that thing?" Someone's face changed drastically as they saw a ball of flame approaching in the distance.

"Report to the two bosses, unidentified object approaching!" someone immediately barked into the walkie-talkie, gripping their gun.

"Received, we're on our way!" Yang Shu's voice responded from the other end.

Not long after, Zhao Qingxuan and Yang Shu arrived at the villa entrance with dozens of awakened individuals. In the distance, a ball of flame slowly drew closer. As it approached, they finally saw clearly that it was a black horse engulfed in flames!

"Horse King? Wang Luo?" Zhao Qingxuan exclaimed in surprise. This dark, sleek creature was indeed the Horse King.

"Did you learn another special ability?" Yang Shu asked, looking at the Horse King in amazement.

"Neigh~~~" Seeing the astonished gazes of everyone around, the Horse King looked proud. "This old horse is just that strong!"

"Wang Luo, get down quickly! I want to try!" Zhao Qingxuan's eyes sparkled. The Horse King looked incredibly cool right now. Even she couldn't resist the urge to ride it.

"Neigh~~~" The Horse King was overjoyed. It loved nothing more than having beautiful women ride on its back. Especially the sensation of up and down, making them sway… it was truly thrilling!

Zhao Qingxuan mounted the horse. Not long after, Yang Shu also climbed onto its back! The Horse King then wildly expended its internal energy until it was completely exhausted.

At the villa district entrance, a group of awakened individuals watched with wonder. Only now did some of them realize that animals could also awaken special abilities!

"Pfft, what's so special about that?"

"Let me tell you! The Horse King is a powerful beast that has awakened an SSS-class ability. One hoof strike could shatter our skulls!" some of the earlier arrivals explained to others.

"Hiss! SSS-class?" Many widened their eyes and looked at the Horse King in disbelief. "To think I'm not even as good as a creature?"

"Not just the Horse King. If you have time, you can go check out the bamboo forest in the courtyards of the two bosses' villas. The panda there is also an SSS-class beast!"

"What? That panda is also SSS-class?"

"I've passed by it a few times and seen it eating bamboo or sleeping. It's SSS-class? That's simply unbelievable!"

"Hey, hey, hey! So, does that mean our base is guarded by three SSS-class awakened individuals?" someone suddenly interjected. By now, they understood the ranking of abilities. The higher the level, the stronger within the same tier. SSS-class was universally acknowledged as the highest. They had initially thought only their boss possessed an SSS-class ability, but now there were two more hidden ones! This meant their safety factor was extremely high.

"Right, then who is that man who just rode back on the Horse King?" someone asked curiously. They had hardly ever seen him! But a man who could ride an SSS-class Horse King must be extraordinary, right?

"I'm not very clear about that man. He hardly ever manages the affairs of our base, but I've heard the two bosses say that his strength is even greater than theirs!"

"What? Stronger than them?"

"Could he be even stronger than the SSS-class black iron rank Boss Zhao?"

"That I don't know. But the two bosses did say that!" Everyone was astonished. Even stronger than the two bosses? Many of them had witnessed the bosses' power firsthand. It was terrifying! They could practically annihilate all of them! And now, there was someone even stronger? It was incredible!

However, when they tried to find the man, he had already vanished.

Wang Luo had returned to the villa and was observing the man-eating flower. The energy crystal he had given it that morning had been completely consumed, but its condition seemed to have not improved.

"Can you still absorb more?" Wang Luo asked, holding up an energy crystal. The man-eating flower quickly nodded, afraid of being chopped up if it was too slow!

"Then keep absorbing! Let's see how many it takes for you to reach black iron rank!" Wang Luo smiled and handed dozens more energy crystals to the man-eating flower!
