Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

Chapter 127 The End of the World (43)

This time, there were 20 Level 2 crystal cores, four for each of the five people. Meng Yu and Yang Youcheng still didn't want any, but Yu Huai forced them in. "You didn't want to eat them before because it was for the benefit of the team. Now we're giving you crystal cores to absorb to increase your ability level, and it's also for the safety of the team. Take them. The stronger you are, the greater the chance of us getting out."

Faced with this, Meng Yu and Yang Youcheng didn't know how to refuse. Yu Ziyin said, "If you don't take it, I'd feel embarrassed to take it either. After all, these 20 zombies were killed by my brother and Cheng, and there's no share for me."

When Zhao Cheng heard Yu Ziyin say she was embarrassed to take it, he couldn't help but say, "We're all on the same team, take it. We have no objection. If you feel bad about it, you can give us the crystal core when you become stronger."

Meng Yu and Yang Youcheng looked at each other. They felt flattered, but also wondered if they were crazy before. They had been willing to follow Li Zeliang and the others and endure so much hardship for so long. Even if they were willing, they had to face such a team. What were they thinking before?

"Then Youcheng and I won't refuse." Meng Yu said with a smile.

"Ah."

After absorbing the second-level crystal cores in turn, Yang Youcheng's wood element's second-level peak became the third level, Meng Yu also became the middle level of the third level, Yu Ziyin's wind element ability broke through to the fourth level, and the space element ability was just a little bit short, but it would be soon. Yu Huai and Zhao Cheng had no changes, and did not upgrade to the middle level, and were still in the early stage of the fourth level.

The higher the level of the psychic, the slower the upgrade speed will be.

Just as they were happily upgrading and consolidating their ability levels, they heard women screaming and crying from below.

Meng Yu and Yang Youcheng, who had been in that team for a long time, immediately recognized the voice. It was Fang Yujiao's. The five of them looked at each other and realized that something must have happened downstairs, but they were all uninterested and had no intention of going down. They all wanted to rest for a night and go down when they felt better.

Just a few hours ago, Li Zeliang fought his way to the 10th floor alone, and Pei Shu and others only needed to dig crystal cores behind him. Seeing that the captain did not order them to go up, Zhou Wei and Zhang Yu also knew the clues and did not go up to waste their superpowers and physical strength. They just followed behind and did not compete with Zhuang Zitao and others for the job of digging crystal cores. Zhuang Zitao and the other two were naturally very happy. They could dig crystal cores and use them to improve their superpowers without any effort.

After venting his frustration for a while, Li Zeliang planned to take a rest. He turned around and saw that all the crystal cores he had captured were gone. They were all in the hands of Pei Shu, Zhuang Zitao and Fang Yujiao. He couldn't help but feel angry. Even though those were just low-level crystal cores that he had looked down upon before, he changed his mind after seeing Yu Huai and Zhao Cheng using those low-level crystal cores to upgrade. He didn't expect that these crystal cores were gone before he had even had a chance to see them.

It's not that he didn't kill any second-level zombies, but the crystal cores of second-level zombies are more precious. Pei Shu and the other two are not fools, so they naturally picked the second-level crystal cores to absorb first. Even if Li Zeliang wanted to take back the remaining low-level crystal cores, they wouldn't feel bad, because they didn't ask for them anyway.

Li Lan had wanted to remind her brother before, even though she was just an ordinary person and didn't understand the different levels of crystal cores. But seeing her brother working so hard to defeat zombies, and seeing none of those gem-like crystal cores fall into his hands, it was okay for Pei Shu, but how could Zhuang Zitao and Fang Yujiao, two outsiders, take them? This made Li Lan feel as if her own flesh was being cut.

But wasn't it because Li Zeliang was too engrossed in killing zombies? She didn't even have the chance to remind him, nor did she dare to go over, so she could only sit aside and watch in frustration.

Zhou Wei and Zhang Yu simply didn't want to remind them. The crystal cores they'd brought in had been taken away in the same way before, and the captain hadn't said anything. A few times, he'd even graciously picked out the secondary crystal cores for Pei Shu and the others to absorb. So now it was the captain's turn, so why should they remind them? The captain should have been gracious enough to give Pei Shu and the others the secondary crystal cores.

The reason why Pei Shu and others did not extend their evil hands to Li Zeliang before was because they could take Meng Yu and others' blood, and leave Li Zeliang's blood to himself for upgrading. The stronger he was, the more they could rely on his momentum to bully the people in the team. But now Pei Shu and others can't suck the blood of Meng Yu and others, so they can only suck Li Zeliang's blood, and naturally the friendly relationship between the two sides will be broken.

At that moment, Li Zeliang said that he was very tired, and it was Pei Shu and others' turn to fight the zombies, and he would absorb the crystal cores they had laid down, otherwise it would be unfair.

Pei Shu, Zhuang Zitao and the other two were a little surprised. Zhou Wei and Zhang Yu said that they did not take the captain's crystal core, so they just stood aside to protect Li Lan. Li Zeliang was not targeting them, so he did not say anything about their behavior, but just looked at Pei Shu and the other two who had been silent.

Pei Shu walked over to Li Zeliang and murmured in dissatisfaction, "We are all family, how can you tell them apart so clearly? You are embarrassing me in front of them."

Wasn't Pei Shu's biggest pride before her, her powerful and generous boyfriend? Zhuang Zitao and the others, who benefited from Li Zeliang's team, naturally praised Pei Shu, saying she had good taste and had found a good man. Now that Li Zeliang had changed, Pei Shu, Zhuang Zitao, and Fang Yujiao wondered why he was so stingy. He was fussy about just a few crystal cores, just like Meng Yu.

But Pei Shu did not say that she was dissatisfied. She only said that Zhuang Zitao and Fang Yujiao were not very satisfied. Subjectively, she still did not want to lose such a good fiancé.

Faced with Pei Shu's dissatisfaction, Li Zeliang felt even more uncomfortable. He didn't have much real feelings for Pei Shu. The two of them behaved so well in the past only because the other party could bring benefits to him, and her few friends did not touch his bottom line and interests, so he was willing to associate with them. But now Pei Shu not only did not stand on his side, but also helped Zhuang Zitao and others to speak. Li Zeliang felt that Pei Shu did not regard him as her future husband, but as a bodyguard at her disposal. Wherever she wanted him to go, he had to go.

"It's true that you are one of our family, but how can these two be considered as our family?" Li Zeliang responded coldly.

Pei Shu was stunned. She hadn't expected Li Zeliang to answer like that. What was wrong? He had never spoken to her like that before. "Zhuang Zitao and Fang Yujiao grew up with me, so how can they not be considered family? Zeliang, what you said is so hurtful!"

Li Zeliang gritted his teeth and said, "So, if I say I'm tired now and it's your turn to kill the zombies, am I wrong?"

Pei Shu choked and could only whisper, "Then let's rest for a while, and then we can go down."

Li Zeliang: "Then let me continue to lead the charge, while you guys just stand back and grab the crystal cores for nothing?"

"Wasn't it always like this before?" Pei Shu couldn't help but speak out what was in her heart.

This time it was Li Zeliang's turn to be choked.
