Chapter 47

Early the next morning, a discontented Mi Ling complained, Did you let your dog wake me up in the middle of the night, disturbing my rest just to win the duel?

The Thunderbolt King glanced at Chen Luo with a resentful look, still scared by the previous nights incident. Chen Luo smiled and said, Youre overestimating yourself. Lets have breakfast first, and once were done, we can have a little match.

Mi Lings eyes lit up. No need to wait until tomorrow? Breakfast? What kind of breakfast? What you guys call breakfast is a feast for me. This morning, Ma Yu prepared char siu buns, egg tarts, fried eggs, and spicy soup. Oh, my, I never eat this well on a regular day.

As long as she defeats Chen Luo, hell have to listen to her.

Mi Ling confirmed, If I win, youll listen to me, right?

Chen Luo nodded, Of course. You seem quite confident. How about we make it more interesting?

Mi Ling immediately became cautious. Although Chen Luo hadnt made a move yet, everyone seemed to regard him as formidable. She wasnt very confident in defeating him.

But she had no other choice but to challenge Chen Luo.

Mi Ling decisively shook her head.

Then Chen Luo said, Three seconds. Ill make you surrender within three seconds. If I cant do it, it will be considered your win

Defeat me in three seconds?

Mi Ling became angry, Even if youre really powerful, you expect me to be defeated in just three seconds? We start with a distance of at least three meters, right?

As long as I dont choose to confront you head-on and evade a bit, those three seconds will pass in an instant.

Su Da Zhu looked at Chen Luo in surprise. Brother, are you planning to go all out? One strike, and Mi Ling would be dead. But thats impossible, right?Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

Mi Ling asked, Whats the distance between the two sides in the challenge?

Chen Luo replied, Lets make it 20 meters.

The greater the distance, the easier it would be for Mi Ling to take the bait.

Mi Ling sneered, At the beginning of the challenge, Ill just retreat. I really dont believe it.

Whats the bet for the challenge? she asked.

Chen Luo smirked, Its simple. Just raise your butt and let me kick it.

Mi Li:

Why would you want to kick my sisters butt?

Mi Ling paused for a moment and asked, If I win, can I kick you too?

Chen Luo waved his hand, You can kick me to death if you want. Kick me as many times as you like, or if you have any other requests, Ill fulfill them.

On the surface, it seemed like Chen Luo was at a great disadvantage, as it was an unequal challenge. However, Chen Luo had full confidence.

He had advanced to the fourth level yesterday and had the skills from his previous life to assist him. How could he possibly lose to Mi Ling?

Its completely impossible.

Mi Ling hesitated. This situation was just too bizarre.

Was Chen Luo really this arrogant? But if she lost, she would only have to let him kick her once. It was a bit embarrassing, but the risks were high and the benefits were great. She could ask for any condition she wanted.

Mi Ling nodded, Alright, I agree.

Chen Luo felt a surge of excitement.

He finally had the opportunity to take revenge openly and without reservation.

Otherwise, once he took Mi Ling as his servant, when would he have another chance to kick her butt?

Chen Luo said, Da Zhu, Mi Li, you guys are witnesses. Whoever cheats will be a dog.

The Thunderbolt King thought, If it werent for the fact that youre my master, I would bite you. Why does it have to be a dog that cheats? Cant it be a cat

Mi Ling strongly insisted on having the challenge right away so that she could have breakfast afterwards.

Internally, she didnt want to refuse either.

Chen Luo ate his own food without teasing her further.

Mi Ling reluctantly finished the char siu and a bowl of spicy soup.

After finishing their meal, Chen Luo wiped his mouth with a tissue and spoke earnestly.

Everyone, gather in the living room. Lets discuss what our next steps should be.

Chen Luo, with a serious expression, began discussing the next steps, and everyone followed him to the living room.

Ma Yu was about to clean up the dining table but was also called over by Chen Luo.

Rice and the Thunderbolt King found their seats as well.

After days of idling around, either eating or fooling around, everyone felt a bit lost.

Chen Luo tapped on the glass coffee table and said, Mi Ling, Ive told you before that Im not only stronger than you in terms of power, but also in terms of the bigger picture.

Well, to be honest, Chen Luo may not be stronger than Mi Ling, but he had the experience from his previous life. No matter how talented a strategist might be, they couldnt surpass Chen Luo.

Chen Luo said, Mi Ling, if you were the team leader, how would you lead us in the next step?

Mi Ling was taken aback. What should be the next step?

At the beginning of the apocalypse, when she was still in school, her only thought was to return home and see if Mi Li was safe.

That was her entire motivation, guiding her all the way back home.

After returning home and unexpectedly encountering Chen Luo, Mi Li was unharmed. At that moment, she was already content.

Although Chen Luo had played tricks on her, she was still grateful in her heart.

But when it came to the next step, the world had suddenly become unfamiliar to her, and she felt lost. She truly didnt know what to do next.

The only clear thing was to continuously strengthen her own abilities and resist the dangers she encountered.

Mi Ling spoke honestly and shook her head, I dont know.

Chen Luo looked at the others, and they shook their heads as well. They had food and drink, and their strength was constantly growing, but they really didnt know what they were going to do.

Chen Luo didnt mock their ignorance. In his previous life, wasnt he just like them?

Chen Luo spoke slowly.

Da Zhu and I once encountered a powerful Rat King. We almost ended up in its mouth. Rice and I also encountered a morbidly obese zombie, whose strength was far beyond that of ordinary zombies.

Furthermore, I have a feeling that the strength of the zombies will continue to increase. To confront them and survive, the only chance we have is to unite.

Even if my feeling is wrong, facing the increasingly scarce resources, it would be a near-death experience for an individual to try and snatch food from the mouths of numerous zombies.

Lets say, Mi Ling, can you alone snatch supplies from over twenty zombies? It would be extremely difficult, right? But if we have a small team, do you still think its difficult?

Forget about human nature and whether the assembled team is united or not, its simply stronger than you being alone.

The others nodded in agreement.

Chen Luo continued speaking.

Survivors forming teams and congregating in bases for survival will be the trend. No matter how strong an individual is, when encountering a group of hundreds or thousands of people, they would still have to flee in desperation.

Our small team is indeed powerful, but lets be frank. When facing a group of over a hundred people, even if we win, there will be casualties. It could be the death of Rice or even Dazhu.

This is absolutely unacceptable.

We either create our own team or join an existing one.

Only by doing so can we ensure our safety and secure our survival.

In his previous life, Chen Luo and Su Dazhu had joined a base. There was no other choice. If they didnt join, they would be bullied.
