The End of the World: Get a Billion in Arms for Free

"This is..."

Song Chen took the crystal core on the top of the box in his hand.

It is different from other crystal cores.

The crystal core in front of him is as big as an egg, emitting blue light from the inside out, and looks like a crystal made of ice, crystal clear, like a handicraft.

"Is this the crystal core of the ninth-level ice zombie?"

Song Chen looked at Lan Ya with uncertainty.

"Woof!"

Lan Ya barked as if to ask for credit, and wagged his tail wildly at Song Chen.

It seemed to be saying: praise me, praise me!

Song Chen couldn't help but chuckled when he saw this, and stroked Lan Ya's dog head fiercely.

"You are smart, dog, and you know to pick up the crystal core. You did a good job this time. I will give you two more lamb legs later!"

The situation was urgent at the time. After Song Chen killed the ice zombie, he noticed the strong supernatural fluctuations from the zombie king in the distance. In order to stop the zombie king, he didn't even have time to think about whether it was a crystal core or not, and turned around and ran away.

Thinking about it now, it seems that I didn't see Lan Ya around at that time.

I'm afraid that he was just trying to dig this crystal core, and then he was tripped by other ordinary zombies.

It's also a good thing that Lan Ya brought this crystal core back, otherwise the zombies he killed with great effort would be killed in vain.

"It just so happens that I'm preparing to quickly improve my superpower level recently. With this crystal core, plus the previous inventory in the space, maybe I can also sprint directly to level nine."

Song Chen calculated the crystal cores stored in the space.

Now absorbing low-level crystal cores has no effect on him. Only absorbing crystal cores above level six can help him improve his superpower level.

In addition to the level nine crystal core in his hand, there are only five level six crystal cores and three level seven crystal cores stored before, as well as the level eight crystal core obtained on the way to the official base.

Originally, relying on these nine crystal cores alone, Song Chen's superpower level would definitely not be able to improve quickly, and at most he would break through to level eight, but now with the level nine crystal core, the situation is different.

"Now even level nine zombies have appeared, and even the zombie king's ability level is about to break through to the S level. I must hurry up to upgrade my level."

It was still a bit difficult to fight against the zombie king who was about to reach the S level with a level seven.

The reason why Song Chen was able to severely injure the zombie king was mainly because the zombie king looked down on humans.

Now the final trump card he had reserved has been used. If he meets the zombie king again next time, it will definitely be on guard against him, and it will be almost impossible to succeed by surprise.

"Alas!"

"The level is still too slow!"

Song Chen sighed, and felt from the bottom of his heart that the speed of his ability level was too slow. Otherwise, he could have killed the zombie king directly today, and let it run away?

It was also fortunate that there was no one else in the room except Song Chen, otherwise he would have been angry to death after hearing this.

They worked so hard to finally raise their ability level to level 5. Those who can reach level 6 are the top combat power of mankind, and Song Chen's space and time abilities have already reached level 7, but he still feels unsatisfied.

Is he going to kill them?

After putting the level 9 crystal core into the space, Song Chen took out all five level 6 crystal cores.

Now Ji Lu's ability level has also been raised to level 6. These five level 6 crystal cores are all upgraded from level 5 crystal cores by Ji Lu, including the three level 7 crystal cores.

But it is still quite difficult for Ji Lu to strengthen the level 7 crystal core to level 8.

Time waits for no one.

Song Chen decided to start absorbing from the low-level crystal cores, and strive to absorb all the crystal cores in the space during the few days of searching for the zombie king.

...

For half a night, Song Chen was absorbing crystal cores in the room.

I don't know if it is because of the continuous battles with level 9 zombies, the amount of crystal cores absorbed by Song Chen this time has obviously increased a lot.

After absorbing all the level 6 and 7 crystal cores, the ability level also broke through to level 8.

Feeling the superpowers in his body, Song Chen showed a faint smile on his face.

"When I completely absorb the level 9 crystal core, I should be close to breaking through to level 9."

It is impossible for him to break through from level 8 to level 9 with just one level 9 crystal core. At least he needs to absorb an additional level 8 crystal core.

"Look around on the way to kill the zombie king to see if he can find an eight-level zombie."

At worst, level 7 will do.

At most, he can kill a few more.

...

After absorbing the crystal core, Song Chen fell asleep on the bed.

It was not until the sky was light that he was called by Lan Ya.

"The sun is out."

Song Chen looked at the sun hanging in the sky through the window, got up and washed up, and went downstairs to find Li Haichuan and others gathered in the living room to organize their equipment.

"Brother Chen, good morning!"

Yang Qian was the first to notice Song Chen and greeted him with a smile.

Others also put down their things and looked at Song Chen.

The zombies surrounding the base had been repelled, and the zombie crisis was successfully passed, which made them feel relieved.

"Morning!" Song Chen smiled and took out the fresh and hot reserve food from the space, "Everyone, have some breakfast first, pack up your equipment and wait for me to come back, and we will set off."

Hearing this, Chang Minghao asked with some surprise.

"Brother Chen, are you going out?"

"Yes." Song Chen nodded, "I'll go find Mr. Gu and tell him something. You can eat first."

Everyone nodded when they heard this.

After finishing breakfast for everyone, Song Chen went out to the villa next door where the White Tiger team was resting.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Song Chen raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Not long after, the door of the villa was opened from the inside, and Song Qing, who was sleepy, stood at the door in pajamas.

"Brother Chen?" When Song Qing saw Song Chen standing outside the door, his eyes, which were still a little sleepy, suddenly became clear, "Why are you here so early? Come in!"

Song Qing turned sideways and quickly invited Song Chen into the house.

"Sorry to disturb you so early." Song Chen followed Song Qing into the villa and explained a little embarrassedly, "We are ready to leave. Before leaving, we want to talk to Mr. Gu about something, but I don't know where Mr. Gu lives, so I can only trouble you and want you to help me lead the way."

The villa was quiet. There was no other sound except the sound of Song Chen talking.

Apparently, the others were still sleeping in the room.

After listening to Song Chen's words, Song Qing showed a surprised expression on his face.

"You are leaving so soon? Don't you want to rest in the base for two more days?"

It's not surprising that Song Qing was surprised. The main reason was that after the whole day of fighting yesterday, almost everyone's abilities were overdrawn, and they were extremely tired as if they had been skinned.

The Dawn Base is far away in the North City. It takes two days to travel at the fastest speed. It is inevitable that there will be some dangers on the way. From Song Chen's cautious consideration, he should rest in the base for another day.

What's more, Gu Zhengping said before that he would hold a celebration banquet. As the biggest contributor to the repulse of the zombie tide, Song Chen is naturally the protagonist. How can he be absent?

Song Chen waved his hand, "I'm going to chase the escaped zombie. There is no more time to stay and rest."

"You are going to chase zombies?!"

Song Qing was even more shocked when he heard this.

Although she didn't face the zombie king like others did, she could feel how terrifying the zombie king was from the descriptions of others. After finally repelling it, Song Chen actually wanted to chase after it. Is this possible? Is it too dangerous?

Facing Song Qing's surprised face, Song Chen just nodded lightly.

"It took a long time yesterday, so I need to hurry up and leave now. Otherwise, you tell me where Mr. Gu lives, and I can find it myself."

"But..."

Song Qing opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but suddenly Yang Lin's voice came from behind.

"I'll take you there."
