"Brother Chen, if you need anything, just call someone to let me know," Luo Tianxiong said.

Chen Mo nodded and said softly, "Don't let anyone disturb me."

Luo Tianxiong: "Understood."

...

After Luo Tianxiong left, Chen Mo came to the side of the Poverty-stricken and casually threw out ten first-order crystal cores.

He said lightly, "Eat up. This time, it's not just for your brain."

"Roar?" The Poverty-stricken outside was stunned.

When it saw the faint purple light shining from the crystal cores, its large pupils were filled with excitement.

Unlike humans who can only absorb crystal cores one by one for cultivation, there is not only a limit to the absorption, but excessive absorption can also cause mutation and distortion.

Creatures like the Poverty-stricken and zombies seem to have no limits at all.

The Poverty-stricken opened its mouth wide and swallowed all the crystal cores in one go.

"Crunch... Crunch..."

When you're just trying to make great content at pawread.com .

It made a chilling chewing sound...

Then, the Poverty-stricken slowly closed its eyes and breathed steadily.

Its orange fur became more glossy, and layers of faint purple ripples continued to wash over it.

Luo Tianxiong wisely ordered everyone in the area to move a hundred meters away.

No one was allowed to disturb them.

After all, this was an important place where the lion stored food and supplies.

Luo Tianxiong was completely unguarded, allowing Chen Mo to take what he needed, showing his immense trust.

Chen Mo took out a second-order crystal core, preparing to use it to enhance his Heavenly power ability.

The Heavenly power ability was truly unique, even though it was only first-order.

Ordinary, inferior crystal cores seemed unable to meet its advanced requirements.

Only a first-order crystal core could provide some improvement.

"I hope you don't disappoint me," Chen Mo murmured softly.

Then he held the second-order crystal core in his left hand, closed his eyes, and began to absorb the crystal core's power.

Each upgrade of the ability not only strengthened the ability itself but also enhanced the physique time and time again.

This was why even the lowest-level F-grade ability users had a much higher status than ordinary people.

...

Until dusk, Luo Tianxiong and Jiang Dong arrived at the scene.

Looking at the guards at the door, Jiang Dong asked, "Boss Luo, Brother Chen?"

"Hasn't he come out yet?"

The guards looked at each other and said, "Brother Dong, not yet."

Luo Tianxiong frowned.

After learning that Chen Mo was leaving tomorrow, he had prepared a sumptuous dinner and sent people to nearby areas to collect many crystal cores from the zombies' brains.

If Brother Chen didn't show up, it would be a waste of his efforts.

"Boss, should we go in and take a look?" Jiang Dong asked.

Luo Tianxiong raised his hand and shook his head. "Let's wait here. Brother Chen said no one is allowed to disturb him."

Jiang Dong was somewhat incredulous.

He had been following Luo Tianxiong for the longest time, so he knew his temper the best.

It was always others waiting for him, and there had never been a situation where Luo Tianxiong and others were waiting for someone else.

Seeing the boss being so respectful, Jiang Dong decided to patiently wait there.

It was a bit boring to wait like this.

Jiang Dong asked curiously, "Boss Luo, what do you think this god looks like?"

"Is there really a god in this world? How is that possible?" Luo Tianxiong looked at him and snorted.

"Nothing is impossible. Did you ever think that the current situation would happen before the apocalypse?"

"If I hadn't reminded you to come, you would probably have died in your mistress's belly!"

The several mistresses Jiang Dong kept had all turned into zombies without exception.

If one of them suddenly turned into a zombie while he was busy working...

The thought was too terrifying to contemplate.

Jiang Dong felt a chill and said awkwardly, "That's true..."

At that moment, a voice suddenly came from the front.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Seeing the newcomer, Luo Tianxiong's eyes lit up.

Then he smiled and said, "Brother Chen, are you ready?"

The newcomer was Chen Mo.

Chen Mo nodded slightly, showing a rare smile on his face.

He was in a good mood.

The resources stored by the lion were indeed plentiful, even in the early days of the apocalypse.

These crystal cores could completely cultivate a strong individual.

He didn't expect Luo Tianxiong to be so decisive in giving them to him after learning about the function of the crystal cores.

His Heavenly power ability had now reached the second order, and the Poverty-stricken was the same.

Previously, just incorporating the Poverty-stricken into the Heavenly power ability as a tattoo had made him feel a mental burden.

In other words, the first-order Heavenly power ability had almost reached its limit in accommodating a Poverty-stricken.

It couldn't sustain the power of the Poverty-stricken tattoo for a long time.

But now, even if the Poverty-stricken remained in tattoo form for several days, it would not be a burden.

"Thanks for those crystal cores," Chen Mo said.

Luo Tianxiong was delighted to see this and laughed, "Haha, Brother Chen, you're being too polite!""It seems Brother Chen's strength has improved again, congratulations!"

Jiang Dong also happily congratulated him.

Luo Tianxiong looked around Chen Mo, as if something had occurred to him.

He asked with some confusion.

"Brother Chen, where's your pet?"

Chen Mo replied with a light smile.

"Perhaps it was too hungry and went out to hunt."

Regarding his second Ability, Poverty-stricken, Chen Mo did not wish to let too many people know.

Fortunately, the awakening of the dark pattern could also be concealed.

Hearing this, Luo Tianxiong couldn't help but click his tongue in admiration.

"Brother Chen, your pet is even more domineering than any lion I've ever seen before!"

"If it weren't forbidden, I'd like to get one to play with too."

"Let's not talk about this for now, come on, Brother Chen, the banquet is ready, and now, we're just missing you, the main character."

Chen Mo nodded: "Let's go."

...

Inside Villa Number One.

This was where Luo Tianxiong resided.

It was also the only place here that was relatively intact and cleaned extremely thoroughly.

There were no fewer than seven or eight members of the Xiongshi (Lion) patrolling the area every day.

Luo Tianxiong slowly pushed the door open, the hall was brightly lit, and candles were lit all around.

On a long table, there was an incredibly lavish feast!

(…)

It was as if he had returned to the time before the apocalypse, enjoying a gourmet meal in an expensive restaurant.

And in the hall.

Qi Qi, Liu Meng, and several of Luo Tianxiong's confidants were all present.

Seeing the newcomers, Qi Qi's eyes sparkled, and she jumped down from her chair.

She threw herself into Chen Mo's arms.

"Brother!"

Chen Mo smiled and patted her head.

Looking at the grand and sumptuous scene before him.

He couldn't help but feel the gap between the Xiongshi and the survivors he had encountered before.

As long as one had the means and strength, even in the apocalypse, one could still live comfortably.

Moreover, without the constraints of the law, one could live even more indulgently and do as one pleased than before the apocalypse.

Women, food, respect...

Luo Tianxiong lacked none of these.

And what he wanted...
