Chapter 142

When Long Yu finished his meal, Chen Luo called him over. Long Yu felt a bit uneasy, not knowing why Chen Luo wanted to see him. It was probably because he was a Level 4 Evolved.

Chen Luo smiled and asked, Did you enjoy your meal?

Long Yu nodded enthusiastically, It was amazing! Not only did it taste great, but it also filled me up.

Chen Luo changed the subject, By the way, Im curious, why did you decide to join us?

Chen Luo had been considering how to recruit Long Yu, but it turned out that Long Yu had voluntarily joined.

Long Yu replied seriously, I joined because your philosophy aligns with mine. I want to eradicate the zombies and restore the world to normal as soon as possible.

Chen Luo nodded in understanding. He didnt feel the need to explain further, unlike with someone like Mi Li, who needed a bit more guidance. After all, could you really eradicate all the zombies just because you wanted to?

Chen Luo joked, So, are you planning to eradicate all the zombies by yourself and rebuild our civilization?

Long Yu chuckled, realizing the absurdity of his previous statement. Of course not, its a collective effort. We all need to work together to achieve that goal.

Chen Luo nodded in agreement. It was indeed a collective effort, and he appreciated Long Yus dedication to the cause.

Chen Luo nodded approvingly at Long Yus suggestion. A compelling slogan combined with a demonstration of strength could indeed attract like-minded individuals who shared their philosophy. Such people were often more cooperative and easier to bring into the fold. It would save them the effort of actively seeking recruits when others willingly came forward.

Taking mental note of this, Chen Luo asked, What abilities do you currently possess?

Long Yu replied, I can manipulate metal. My offensive abilities are decent, but I can also turn my body into metal, granting me strong physical defense and enhanced strength.

As he mentioned his strong physical defense, Long Yu couldnt help but puff his chest out proudly.

My physical defense is really something, he added confidently.

Chen Luo smirked and remarked, I wanted to show you the darker side of human nature last time, but I decided to be discreet about it. This time, Ill make sure you understand that your talent isnt just about turning your body into metal.

He then said with a sly smile, You said your physical defense is quite strong? How about we put it to the test?

Long Yu perked up, eager to demonstrate his worth. He wasnt aware of the extent of Chen Luos power.

In the future, a king-level Long Yu could easily create permanent weapons for seventh and eighth-level beings, but for king-level experts, it would be much more challenging. He could only temporarily create weapons suitable for two or three people.

With weapon enhancement, it could boost their strength by at least thirty percent, which was a significant increase.

Chen Luo smiled, So now you understand your true value? If you can craft a large number of weapons and armor and equip others, wouldnt that be more effective than personally going into battle?

Long Yu had a moment of enlightenment. Indeed, if I can create thousands of weapons and armor sets, it would significantly reduce casualties among the survivors.

Without needing any further encouragement from Chen Luo, Long Yu lowered his head and began experimenting with the pile of metal in the room.

Chen Luo smiled in satisfaction, looking forward to the day when Long Yu would craft a suitable staff for his Space ability.

In his previous life, Chen Luo didnt have any weapons. It wasnt feasible in the short term; Long Yus ability was limited, and he had limited time for experimentation. Finding the right metal also required a bit of luck and talent.

Advanced mysterious metals were beyond Long Yus current ability to transform.

With Long Yus addition, Chen Luo was in high spirits. However, this was soon shattered.

Zhao Hai rushed to Chen Luo in a panicked state, his face filled with extreme fear, and his hands trembling uncontrollably. He desperately wanted to light a cigarette to calm his nerves, but his shaking hands couldnt manage it. The same was true for his few underlings.

In the end, Chen Luo personally lit a cigarette for this Brother Hai.

Chen Luo asked solemnly, What happened? Why are you so terrified?

What could have occurred to frighten Zhao Hai to this extent?

Zhao Hai took a deep drag from his cigarette and said, Chen Luo, I think we should get out of here quickly. I saw an exceptionally freakish zombie nearby.

It really scared me to death. It was over a hundred meters away, but in the blink of an eye, it appeared right next to one of my men. It just breathed on him lightly, and he died.

Song Ling also had a dazed expression, We cant deal with it, really cant. Its too fast, and its Wind Blades are terrifying.

It killed dozens of us, and the rest of the people ran away. We managed to escape because we were faster, and it didnt chase us. But who knows, it might come here soon.

While yawning, Rice suddenly said, Chen Luo, youre done for.
