Ye Gaofei’s base was not difficult to find, and Qilin’s followers easily located it. Upon their arrival, they voluntarily shared the information with Ye Gaofei. They also reported Chen Luo’s attempt to unite others against Ye Gaofei and exaggerated the threat Chen Luo posed.
Upon hearing this news, Ye Gaofei squinted his eyes. Not only was there another Level 4 Ability User, but there was also the potential of forming an alliance against him. Originally, Ye Gaofei’s base had just over 1,200 people, but now it had grown to over 4,000, mostly composed of small groups or individuals who had escaped from other bases.
Some groups with hundreds of members had yet to join, as they needed to assess whether Ye Gaofei’s base was suitable for them. They recognized Ye Gaofei’s strength but were cautious about committing to a new alliance without careful consideration.
Over a dozen groups had arrived, and after inspecting Ye Gaofei’s base, some were skeptical about its ability to sustain so many people. This was a significant decision, and they needed time to deliberate and determine if Ye Gaofei’s base was the right fit for them
Ye Gaofei realized that he had been too hasty and idealistic in his approach. Many people had not joined his base, and he had managed to alienate a significant portion of potential allies. Furthermore, with Chen Luo forming alliances, the opposing force might become larger than his own.
Now that Chen Luo and his allies were planning to unite against him, Ye Gaofei understood that he needed to take action. His only option was to eliminate Chen Luo and his leadership before they could complete their alliance. This would serve as a show of strength, potentially deterring others from joining Chen Luo’s cause..
Ye Gaofei quickly issued orders to prepare for action. He understood that time was of the essence, and he needed to act swiftly to eliminate Chen Luo’s leadership and deter others from joining their alliance. With his base now bolstered by thousands of new recruits, he felt confident in taking on this challenge.
As preparations for the operation began, the base was abuzz with activity. Red Bull and food supplies were distributed to the second and third-tier survivors, energizing them for the impending mission. The atmosphere in the base was tense, but also charged with determination.
The night was coming, and Ye Gaofei was ready to make his move.
……
Chen Luo knew that he needed to act strategically and swiftly. The situation was becoming increasingly complex, with the emergence of new power players like Ye Gaofei and his rapidly growing faction.
At the same time, he couldn’t afford to overlook the potential of someone like Long Yu, a valuable asset who could greatly enhance their overall strength.
With Ye Gaofei’s increasing influence and the looming threat of a large-scale conflict, Chen Luo understood that he had to carefully navigate this evolving landscape.
He needed to consider his next moves carefully, both in terms of handling the potential threat from Ye Gaofei and seizing the opportunity to recruit promising individuals like Long Yu.
Every decision he made would impact the future of his base and its inhabitants, and Chen Luo was determined to lead them to success and safety in this unpredictable post-apocalyptic world.
Chen Luo was well aware of the importance of advancing his abilities as quickly as possible, especially given the evolving threats and challenges in the post-apocalyptic world.
By absorbing higher-level crystals, he aimed to accelerate his progress and reach the sixth level sooner, which would significantly enhance his combat capabilities and overall survival skills.
With diligence and strategic planning, Chen Luo continued his journey of self-improvement, harnessing the power of the crystals to ensure he was better prepared to face whatever dangers lay ahead.
While he was in the midst of absorbing, Chen Luo heard Xia Haoran’s excited voice outside the villa, shouting, “Big brother, I’ve evolved to the fourth level.”
Xia Haoran had access to fourth-level crystals for about two days now, and his advancement to this level was expected due to his previous progress. Chen Luo had instructed him to inform him as soon as he evolved.
Chen Luo couldn’t help but complain inwardly, “Thank goodness I wasn’t doing anything important at this moment. Otherwise, with you shouting like that, who knows what might have happened…”
After securing the crystals, Chen Luo went downstairs and said, “Come on, let’s go to your room.”
Once they arrived, Chen Luo explained, “After reaching the fourth level in the physical attribute system, the crystals will continuously emit power to temper your body. You can control where this power refines, except for vital areas like the head and heart. I suggest you concentrate the remaining power on your fists.”
Xia Haoran pondered for a moment and said, “I used to practice boxing, and I also think fists are the most convenient. Big brother, with your recommendation, I’ll definitely give it a try.”
Chen Luo nodded with a smile.
Fists were Xia Haoran’s signature, and due to individual differences in physique, even if others tempered their fists, the results couldn’t compare to Xia Haoran. His fists were like iron sand palms, capable of withstanding spells from opponents of the same level while possessing overwhelming strength.
In his previous life, when Xia Haoran reached Level 10, he could easily handle three Level 10 opponents simultaneously and still have room for more. Upon reaching the King level, he might even take on two opponents at once, though facing more would be challenging.
Reaching the King level was a remarkable feat, and those who achieved it were usually extraordinary talents—exceptional individuals forged through blood and tears, with rich combat experience.
After reaching the King level, Chen Luo was still no match for Mi Ling. He had to admit it, he was a King-level expert born from a path of survival and escape.
As Chen Luo and Xia Haoran were chatting, Chen Guang was on duty and urgently contacted them through the intercom.
“Big brother, Zhao Hai has sought refuge here, claiming that Ye Gaofei is after him.”
Chen Luo’s expression changed as he heard the news that Ye Gaofei was approaching. While Ye Gaofei might not know the exact location of Chen Luo’s base, Qu Lin’s subordinates did. They knew that Chen Luo was somewhere near Zhao Hai.
Finding Zhao Hai meant finding Chen Luo.
Zhao Hai had no strength to resist Ye Gaofei; it was hundreds against two thousand. Moreover, Zhao Hai knew that Ye Gaofei had three Level 4 abilities with him.
Upon learning that Ye Gaofei was coming, Zhao Hai, along with his core subordinates, fled from the backyard of the residential area.
Zhao Hai had prepared for this, planning an escape route. In the face of insurmountable odds, he would run without hesitation.
And where would he run to? Did he not cling to the big thigh for so long?
Taking advantage of Ye Gaofei’s search, Zhao Hai immediately drove to Chen Luo’s place for refuge.
Zhao Hai cursed to himself, “Damn it, having more people is indeed powerful. You can’t be overwhelmed by them.”
When Zhao Hai saw Chen Luo, he sighed and said, “Chen Luo, I’m afraid Ye Gaofei will be here soon. We should prepare early.”
Chen Luo remained expressionless. Why would Ye Gaofei come looking for him? He had been keeping a low profile.
