"Liao Ruyu said, 'Ge Huozhu.'

Ge Huozhu replied, 'Miss, what's the matter?'

Liao Ruyu glanced at the group of men from Long Gang behind her, lightly opened her vermilion lips, and said, 'Take Chen Mo to our rest area and arrange some food for him.'

'I'm going to see Uncle Liao and will be back soon.'

Ge Huozhu nodded in response. 'I understand.'

'Brother Chen, come with me.'

Because Chen Mo had saved everyone's lives before, Ge Huozhu was also much more polite.

Chen Mo followed the group to their exclusive rest area.

The rest area was a bit rudimentary, a temporary shelter built near a large supermarket.

There were many similar rest areas nearby.

But Ge Huozhu and the others were all under Liao Ruyu, so their rest area was naturally unique, located in a relatively open area.

Ge Huozhu opened the door and brought out boxes of instant noodles from the ground.

The boxes also contained eggs and sausages.

Ge Huozhu carefully took out the instant noodles from the top and placed them on the table.

Underneath the instant noodles, there were several boxes of self-heating meals!

These were their treasures!

There were still over three hundred surviving employees of Long Gang Group.

With the addition of the family members of some survivors, there were about seven to eight hundred people.

Apart from the Long Gang employees living here, everyone else lived elsewhere.

Unlike Xiongshi, even the food allocated to Liao Ruyu's people was limited.

Several men around them took off their shirts and sat down, relieved.

Ge Huozhu swallowed and took out a self-heating meal, handing it to Chen Mo. 'Eat.'

'You saved our lives, brother, so don't be polite!'

Chen Mo looked at the self-heating meal on the table, his eyes flickering, but he didn't eat.

'Do you have water?'

'Here.' A man beside him took out a bottle of water and tossed it over.

Chen Mo unscrewed the cap and drank it down.

Then he took out the second-order crystal core he had obtained earlier and began to absorb it.

The group of men looked at each other.

'Old Ge, what's this?'

Ge Huozhu shook his head at the sight.

'Brother Chen seems to be absorbing this crystal core.'

'Miss often does the same.'

'Sigh, it's really enviable to be an abilities user.'

'When can we have abilities too?'

'We're just not that lucky! Haven't you all noticed that those zombies outside have gotten stronger?'

'Today, I could hardly break through their skulls with a knife!'

'What can we do? We don't have abilities or guns. This damn world...'

Chen Mo opened his eyes and glanced at them.

In the early days of the apocalypse, naturally awakened abilities were still a minority.

But it was not impossible to activate them later.

The crystal core could be forcibly absorbed by ordinary people, and there was a chance of awakening abilities as a result.

The higher the rank of the crystal core, the less likely it was to affect the person absorbing it, and the greater the possibility of awakening.

Although inferior, first-order crystal cores had the potential, but if an ordinary person absorbed ninety-nine percent of it, they would lose their sanity and become a heretical zombie.

Before his rebirth, Chen Mo had awakened his abilities through the spiritual interference of a third-order crystal core given to him by Yu Er.

Of course, Chen Mo had not told anyone this important piece of information.

Not even Luo Tianxiong.

After all, the temptation of becoming an abilities user was too great for ordinary people.

But it was also extremely dangerous, a matter of life and death.

If he told Luo Tianxiong or Long Gang, many people would definitely take the risk and forcibly absorb the crystal core.

Then, if many people died, it would be his fault, and it was not worth the effort or the risk.

After becoming a third-order abilities user, Chen Mo remembered more and more things.

Chen Mo lowered his eyes and began to think to himself.

'If I remember correctly...'

'That guy in Huabei City, he's here too, right?'

That guy had been following Lin Shu since Chen Mo and Yu Er joined the Sixth Military Region, responsible for protecting his safety.

Incredibly powerful, he possessed a very powerful A-level elemental abilities called 'Annihilation.'

Anything touched by him could explode at any time under the influence of his abilities.

The most common use was to attach the power of his abilities to the bullets in a gun.

He was a very powerful abilities user in the Sixth Military Region, Lin Shu's loyal dog.

...

At this moment, in the chairman's office of Long Gang Group.

This was the most central and safest place in the entire area.

Liao Ruyu looked at the man and woman in front of her, her pretty face somewhat displeased.

'Help us?'

'You have the nerve to call taking half of our Long Gang Group's factory area "helping us"?'

The man and woman opposite her looked young.

The young man was dressed in casual clothes, a short-sleeved T-shirt, and had a crew cut. He didn't look very old.

He was quite tall, about 1.83 meters, tall and thin, looking like an athlete.

He was lounging on the sofa, drinking cola.

'You can't even defend your own territory, Long Gang Group.'

'You should know that we didn't come here voluntarily, but Chairman Liao personally came to our military region to find us.'"Exactly, if it weren't for Uncle Zheng asking us to come, I wouldn't want to be in this godforsaken place."

Beside the boy, a petite, flat-chested loli clutched a doll, her face full of hostility as she looked at Liao Ruyu.

Upon seeing Liao Ruyu's surging peaks, she pouted, looking even more displeased.

They were both Abilities users from the military district. The boy's name was Wang Haoming, who was an athlete before the apocalypse.

Because of his Abilities, Wang Haoming quickly gained favor within the military district.

The girl was named Zheng Qing, also a powerful Abilities user selected and cultivated by the military district from the survivors.

Seeing this, Liao Ruyu became furious, her chest heaving with anger.

"Uncle Liao, are these the people you've brought in?"

A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.

"Is the military district really just sending over a couple of kids to help?"

Liao Ruyu turned to the middle-aged man sitting in the center, who had a benign appearance, wore a shirt, and was somewhat portly.

Liao Wen wiped his sweat.

He felt somewhat helpless about his niece and spoke up.

"Yuyu..."

"These two are from Director Gao's side."

"It was Director Gao himself who arranged for them to come."

"Don't be fooled by their young age; they both possess Abilities and are very strong!"

Liao Ruyu shivered with anger.

Strong?

She had already found the most suitable person to deal with that monster crocodile and didn't need to agree to the military district's harsh conditions.

To let two kids help out!

"Uncle Liao! I've already found the right person!"

Liao Wen was taken aback.

Wang Haoming sipped his cola, glanced at the stunningly beautiful and voluptuous Liao Ruyu without changing his expression, and said with a smile.

"Miss Liao, do you not trust us?"

"You know, it's a special time now, and most of our forces have been dispatched to search for survivors."

"If Director Gao is willing to send us, it naturally means..."

Wang Haoming slowly stood up, and in just an instant, he was behind Liao Ruyu.

In his hand, a special pistol appeared out of nowhere, now pressed against Liao Ruyu's slender waist.

"Zheng Qing and I are enough."
