Chapter 729: Chapter 182: Farewell to Officer Huang, The Thunderstorm Reappears_6

Lin Fan said, "Quite good, the frequency of strength awakeners appearing is high, but being common doesn’t mean weak. When the ability reaches a certain level, it will undergo a qualitative change."

At the initial stage, strength awakeners are indeed weak, not compared to ordinary people but to zombies. Slightly stronger than ordinary zombies, yet weaker than evolutionary zombies.

To develop, relying solely on oneself is certainly not enough.

Chen He said, "My awakening is control, I can control zombies."

Wang Kai: ???

He blinked, somewhat baffled as he looked at Chen He. This power was invincible.

But soon... Wang Kai felt that something was amiss. There seemed to be a problem with this ability. That was, since there were no zombies in Salt City, where could he go to control zombies?

In other places, this power would be unbeatable.

But in Salt City, this ability was somewhat awkward.

Lin Fan said, "It’s very powerful, a very rare ability. Maybe it’s not needed in Salt City now, but in the future, its use will be significant."

What he said was the truth.

A control awakener was not weak even in the initial stages. Being able to control zombies, even if the number that could be controlled at the start was small, as the ability increased, more and even stronger zombies, including evolutionary zombies, could be controlled without any problem.

Chen He nodded, "Understood."

He wasn’t excited about becoming an awakener. Instead, he thought about letting Tingting know. "Your dad has become an awakener, am I now the pride of your heart?"

With their self-introductions.

Three strength awakeners, two speed awakened, one control awakener, and one disguise awakener.

In total seven people.

Lin Fan was quite pleased; this signified that humanity’s strength had been enhanced again.

Wang Kai felt that the most useless ability might be disguise.

They were in Salt City where even without abilities, they could stroll about freely.

As for going to other places, that was not likely.

They were definitely going to stay in Salt City for the foreseeable future.

Lin Fan gave them crystals to enhance their abilities. With the current number of crystals, reaching the third stage was not a problem.

If the awakeners outside knew that people here didn’t take crystals seriously,

They would definitely be envious to the point of tears.

They toiled hard for crystals, venturing into danger, and even facing threats to their lives.

Who could imagine that in Sunshine Shelter, crystals piled up like mountains, and as long as one became an awakener associated with Sunshine Shelter, they would be provided crystals.

For Lin Fan, from the golden crystal onwards, it became harder to get them. Zombies of this crystal color were not easily found.

He suddenly thought back.

At the beginning, he hadn’t seen any above pale gold.

But after several thunderstorms, those kinds of zombies began to appear more frequently.

If the apocalypse were to be divided into stages,

At the start,

Apocalypse 1.0.

Apocalypse 2.0.

And now it should be at the 3.0 stage.

Salt City.

He Jiaju hadn’t expected the reason Zhou Peng was so powerful was related to the Corpse God and that this wasn’t a regular shelter but a place created for trapping awakeners for the Corpse God.

He was the third chosen spokesperson of the Corpse God.

The first, Zhou Peng, had already died a terrible death.

The second, foolishly killed by the Corpse God’s own hands.

And he was the third.

With the death of Zhou Peng, the people in the shelter just thought of Zhou Peng as missing. The first few days were understandable, but gradually, as Zhou Peng had not reappeared, the survivors in the shelter began to believe he might be dead.

In the absence of supervision, disputes naturally arose.

Everyone wanted to have a say here.

Meanwhile, as supplies continued to dwindle, everyone started to worry. Their location was in the city, surrounded by zombies. Previously, Zhou Peng had managed the supplies, and without him, there would be none.

If left to gather supplies on their own, they would have likely been bitten to death by the zombies outside by now.

As He Jiaju was chosen by the Corpse God, he didn’t violently suppress everyone; instead, he brought back a large bag of supplies from outside, casually tossing it on the table and calmly informed everyone.

"I can get supplies."

"From now on, I’m the boss here."

"Any objections?"

After he said this, everyone looked at the supplies, as who wanted to be the boss didn’t matter anymore, as long as they could get supplies.

Suddenly.

The face of the person behind him trembled slightly, receiving a signal from the Corpse God.

He drove away from the shelter.

At a gas station not far from Salt City.

"Damn, last night’s storm was terrifying, the zombies around here were shrieking like mad, their howling chilling to the bone."

Next to a modified vehicle, several survivors were conversing.

They were refueling there.

All four survivors were Awakeners.

They had slowly gathered together because as Awakeners, they believed having abilities meant that uniting would give them a better chance of surviving in this apocalyptic world.

Just as they finished refueling and were about to leave.

A sedan drove towards them from the distance.

"Someone’s coming."

The Awakener who spoke had a golden necklace around his neck. He looked at the approaching vehicle without a hint of worry; after all, as Awakeners, they were the pinnacle of humanity in this post-apocalyptic world.

"What do you think, a man or a woman?"

"I’m hoping for a woman."

"Heh, fuck, mention a woman and I know what you’re thinking."

"Damn, as if you don’t want the same."

"Heh, we’re all desperate, but honestly, I usually can’t stand average women, too spoiled by luxury."

They exchanged casual banter, speaking crudely.

They had stayed in other shelters before, and as Awakeners, upon reaching any shelter they instantly rose to the top of the hierarchy. And they were lucky to have met an extremely beautiful woman at one of the shelters.

She seemed like an actress.

Heard she played Pan Jinlian once, in those sorts of colorful roles.

Life was indeed very comfortable then.

The pity was that not long after, the shelter was overrun by zombies.

Quickly.

The approaching sedan came to a gentle stop.

When He Jiaju got out of the car, the four Awakeners frustratingly slapped the vehicle.

Fuck...

It’s actually a dude.

Truly fucking disappointing.

Would have been great if it were a chick.

"Hello."

He Jiaju greeted them with a smile, "My name is He Jiaju, I mean no harm, don’t be nervous."

As he said these words.

The four Awakeners suddenly laughed.

Fuck!

What are you talking about?

No harm?

Don’t be nervous?

It’s been a long time since anyone’s said that.
