Chapter 121: Everyone leveled up
In the few moments before they reached the hospital, just as the grey structure emerged through the ruined buildings and stories, it hadn’t been long ago that they were just a band of survivors—scraped together by chance and stubbornness to live and survive.
But now, the difference in them was undeniable. The nights spent resting in the small house had not been peaceful, but they had been crucial.
In those days, every one of them had consumed crystals until their minds had become numbed and refused to absorb another one.
Zhao Ren had broken through to level seven, his metal ability now bending and shaping at his will with frightening speed and precision. The texture and hardness of his metal had increased by leaps and bounds. It would not even break if you tried to cut level seven zombies. And he could create metal from nowhere within seconds. The speed had increased in that area too.
Chen Wei’s speed had grown sharper too. At level six, he blurred when he moved, faster than the eye could track. If people didn’t know, they would think he had awakened teleportation rather than a speed ability. His reflexes and senses could beat a level seven zombie easily, and the higher-level zombies’ speed was nothing in comparison to him.
Shen Haoran had pushed his fire ability to level six. His flames no longer died after continuous fights. And it seemed even if he fought for hours, they would only roar with bright intensity.
He could coat his body in heat, summon fire from a single snap of his fingers, and reduce walls to ash if he didn’t hold back.
Yun Shou stood not far behind, having reached level five with his electric ability. Sparks snapped and crackled along his fingertips even when he stood still, a visible display of the raw voltage he now commanded.
His body acted like a living capacitor, charging and discharging currents with terrifying precision. At this level, the voltage had spiked beyond 50,000 volts—easily enough to arc through the air and leap across several meters.
