Facing the middle-aged man in front of him, Zheng Haifeng didn't know what to say for a while.

His face was a bit solemn, and after a moment of silence, he spoke.

"Mayor Lin, we are also sorry for the death of your son."

"But you have to know, the dead cannot be brought back to life."

"Now that the apocalypse has come, the person who killed your son may not even be alive!"

That day, they were all going to capture Chen Mo.

But if it weren't for Chen Mo, all of them, including the hundreds of survivors, would probably have died in the apocalypse!

"Looking at it from another perspective, we also saved a lot of people."

"Mayor Lin, isn't that also an achievement?" Zheng Haifeng said in a low voice, bowing his head.

"Bang!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Anhe's face twisted, and he slammed the table angrily.

"To hell with your achievements!"

"It's not your son who died!"

"Are the lives of those survivors more important than my son's life?!" Lin Anhe shouted furiously.

"Zheng Haifeng, you should know who stands behind me!" Lin Anhe's expression was crazy, and he shouted in anger.

Seeing this, Zheng Haifeng couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.

The most powerful person in the Lin family was not the current mayor.

It was the old man standing behind him.

Although he had retired, he still wielded immense power, even being able to freely mobilize their military district.

At this moment, Lin Anhe looked like a fierce ghost, with a few strands of hair falling from his neatly arranged hair.

With his hands on the table, his eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the bowed Zheng Haifeng, completely different from his previous gentle and polite demeanor.

He was on the verge of madness.

In the early days of the apocalypse, his son died.

His wife turned into a zombie and was now being detained.

Even though he was in the safest place, Lin Anhe felt no sense of relief.

Instead, he was in extreme pain!

He had seen Lin Shu's body.

Every day, the horrifying image of Shu's death lingered in his mind.

"What did Shu do wrong?"

"How could they treat him like this!"

Lin Anhe was even willing to exchange a hundred or a thousand lives for Lin Shu to come back.

Lin Anhe looked at Zheng Haifeng for a long time.

Then he sat down slowly.

In a hoarse voice, he said, "I don't care who Chen Mo is."

"Whether he's an abilities user or a hero who saved hundreds of people!"

"I will make him pay!!"

"In two days, the central government will send two abilities users to assist you."

"Zheng Haifeng, you know Chen Mo and are familiar with his methods. With the help of these two people, even if that guy is already dead, they can find him for you!"

Lin Anhe said with a fierce look on his face.

"Chen Mo, you better be dead already."

"Otherwise, I will make you experience what it's like to wish you were dead!"

Zheng Haifeng sighed.

Lin Anhe said calmly, "The old man has recently awakened an ability and his health has improved a lot. He has decided to come out of retirement."

"You know, there are a few vacant positions in the central government, and the old man is ready to fill them."

"Zheng Haifeng, I think you understand what I mean, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Haifeng broke out in a cold sweat.

He thought to himself, "This is not good."

The methods of the Lin family's old man were well known.

He couldn't believe that this big shot, who had already retired peacefully in peacetime, was coming out of retirement again!

This was serious!

Zheng Haifeng quickly nodded and said, "I understand."

Lin Anhe nodded in satisfaction.

"Extraordinary times call for different measures."

"You can rest assured, there are signs of division in various war zones now, and it's very inconvenient, whether it's transportation or anything else."

"Zheng Haifeng, it's a special time now."

"I know you've been held back by some things. You've been here for over twenty years, but you haven't been able to move up."

"If you handle this matter well, you will have a position in the Sixth War Zone in the future!"

When using people, one must cater to their preferences and use both kindness and power.

Lin Anhe had obviously mastered this art.

Zheng Haifeng was shaken.

After Lin Anhe left, Zheng Haifeng looked at the file on Chen Mo on the table, his eyes flickering, lost in thought.

...

On the other side, it was already midnight.

It wasn't until midnight that Chen Mo and Poverty-stricken finally finished counting the crystal cores.

At this point, he had a total of nineteen bottles of F-recovery potions.

Twenty-three second-order crystal cores and one hundred and thirty first-order crystal cores.

He had gained a lot on this highway.

But most of the zombies, along with the crystal cores, had been eaten by Poverty-stricken and Indulgent-God.

Chen Mo looked at the crystal cores he had collected in his waist pouch.

He could almost start advancing to the third level of mastering abilities.

He took out the second-order crystal cores.

Chen Mo held them in the palm of his hand and began to absorb the energy from the crystal cores.

One...

Two...

Three...

He continued to absorb until the seventh second-order crystal core.

Finally, the mastery of his abilities expanded a bit!

Forty meters!

And Chen Mo's absorption continued.

For abilities users below the fourth level, absorbing crystal cores could enhance the effects and power of their abilities, as well as continuously strengthen their physique!

The criteria for judging an external abilities user like Chen Mo were generally based on the range of their abilities.

A hundred meters was the standard for third-level abilities users.

After the fourth level, there would be a huge difference in abilities, displaying an extraordinary level of power.

At this point, the most accurate way to judge was undoubtedly to use special instruments made by the military district to measure the power of abilities!Before, when using the Heavenly Power Ability, my Dominance Ability suddenly broke through its upper limit.

It reached a hundred meters!

Chen Mo's eyes were tightly shut as he continuously drained the power from the Crystal Cores in his hands.

The further he went, the smaller the enhancement the Crystal Cores provided.

After absorbing twenty-three second-tier Crystal Cores,

His Dominance Ability had just barely reached the range of ninety meters!

The number of Crystal Cores needed was massive.

Chen Mo then began to absorb first-tier Crystal Cores.

Although he possessed dual Abilities, the number of Crystal Cores he absorbed daily far exceeded that of an ordinary person.

But the number of Crystal Cores Chen Mo could absorb in a day, he once calculated, was only three to four times that of a regular Abilities user.

That is to say, thirty to forty Crystal Cores were the limit he could absorb in a day.

Ninety-three, ninety-six, ninety-nine...

Until the last, the fortieth Crystal Core, a drop of sweat trickled down Chen Mo's forehead.

A hundred meters!

Suddenly!

A terrifying ripple surged around Chen Mo's body.

The metallic objects nearby began to float one after another.

A full hundred meters in distance!

Chen Mo looked around at everything, his eyes flickering continuously, his face filled with immense joy as he said,

"I've finally broken through to a third-tier Abilities user!"

His back was already drenched in sweat, completely soaked.

Chen Mo tried to feel what was different about the third-tier Dominance Ability compared to before.

This time, his right hand, which could control the Dominance Ability, hadn't moved yet.

As his thoughts arose.

Instantly, the metallic objects around him surged towards him.

In Chen Mo's hands, they were freely molded and reformed.

This time, allowing these densely packed streams of molten metal to float in the air,

The power consumed was merely half of what it used to be.
