Chapter 110: Lolita
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lolita appeared to be under ten years old, pretty and delicate.
Her light green eyes were exceptionally lively, and her smiling face was adorable.
She was smart and beautiful.
Even a tough man like Bai Tianyu couldn’t help but greet Lolita with a smile.
Duan Mei stroked Lolita’s hair and whispered to her, “Lolita, you’re a smart girl. I’m in some trouble here and might not be able to protect you anymore. So you should go with these two uncles to a safe place. When Sister resolves the issue here, I’ll come find you, okay?”
Lolita’s smile faded considerably at once.
But she quickly nodded firmly, saying, “Okay, Sister.”
“Yes, I knew our Lolita is such a well-behaved girl…”
While saying that, Duan Mei placed Lolita on the ground and Lolita obediently came to Gao Junyi’s side and held his hand.
Gao Junyi could feel that Lolita’s grip was very strong and her hand was cold.
She felt a sense of belonging to the people in Dragon Mountain, and she probably had a good understanding of the current situation in this world.
Going to a strange place would undoubtedly be quite stressful for a child, but Lolita buried that pressure deep in her heart.
“Good girl.”
Gao Junyi gently ruffled Lolita’s hair and looked at Duan Mei.
“What about her parents?”
“Her father was an executive of a foreign-funded company here, but he died at the beginning of the apocalypse. Her mother was in New York before…”
Before Gao Junyi could ask anything else, Duan Mei had already rushed out. As she walked, she said, “This child is really important. If you still want to ask anything, protect her and take care of her. She will tell you.
Now, I’ll help you lure the Flesh Mountain away. Hurry up.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she had already disappeared.
Gao Junyi helplessly turned to look at Bai Tianyu, only to see Bai Tianyu nodding at him.
“I’ll go and help too. You take them back to Guangping Street as soon as possible. 1’11 also try to lure the Flesh Mountain towards Brother Lu’s place.”
Duan Mei was wrong about one thing.
She was not the only one attracting the Flesh Mountain. Bai Tianyu was also involved.
Gao Junyi said, “Be careful.”
The only response he received was Bai Tianyu’s smiling face, “That’s perfect, it is also a good opportunity to test the strength of the Black Mist Exploration Team.
If we can’t even deal with this Flesh Mountain, exploring the Black Mist zone will only be sending ourselves to death.”
Dragon Mountain’s gathering place seemed to be prepared for the current situation.
Within just ten minutes, the survivors in the gathering place had already assembled—hundreds of them, big and small.
At the same time, there were a bus, two pickups, and five small cars prepared for their escape.
This was their escape plan.
With Lolita sitting in one of the small cars, Gao Junyi watched as the members of the Black Mist Exploration Team and Duan Mei, along with several Level 3 Awakened individuals from Dragon Mountain, left the mountain. He then urged everyone to get into the vehicles and hurriedly drove away.
“Which way should we go?”
With the driver’s question, Gao Junyi thought for a moment before giving an answer.
“Go downhill, drive along Highway 517, then turn to the Lin Family Village, and…”
This was the road they took when they came, and it was also relatively safe.
Moreover, there were two official safety points on the road, where Awakened individuals were stationed along with weapons and equipment.
The driver nodded, stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed out.
More than ten minutes later, as the convoy had just left Dragon Mountain, fierce battle sounds erupted from the mountain.
That night, Lu Ming was woken up by an urgent knocking on the door.
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Lu Ming went to the door and turned on the electronic screen. He saw the faces of Wang Xiong and Zhang Chengcheng appearing on the screen.
The two of them looked anxious. Before Lu Ming could speak, Wang Xiong had already said, “Brother Lu, there’s a big problem.”
“Colonel Bai Tianyu and the others are in trouble.”
Wang Xiong quickly explained the situation.
“Just now, a heavily injured member of the Exploration Team rushed back and said that Colonel Bai and the others were trapped in Cheng County. Their opponent was a Level 5 zombie and a large group of exotic beasts…”
He spoke rapidly and explained the situation clearly. Lu Ming’s expression was especially solemn when he heard that.
When Wang Xiong finished speaking, Lu Ming nodded solemnly. “That’s indeed troublesome.”
After that, there was a long silence.
Outside the door, Wang Xiong, who had not received a response for a long time, felt his heart sink. After a moment, he sighed and could not help but say, “Brother Lu, take a look…”
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Chengcheng suddenly stretched out her hand and interrupted Wang Xiong.
Wang Xiong was puzzled when he saw Zhang Chengcheng give him a look. Then, Zhang Chengcheng looked at the camera and gently said,
“Brother Lu, it’s said that there are dozens of exotic beasts in Cheng County and one of them can produce several tons of meat. I think we should store some of this exotic beast meat.
According to Sister Meng, we still don’t know how these exotic beasts were born. In other words, there might be a limited number of exotic beasts in Nanxiang now. If someone kills one, we’ll lose a few tons of exotic beast meat reserves. So, 1 think we should all go out together and see if we can hunt more exotic beasts. We won’t have to worry about food in the short term.”
Wang Xiong raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Chengcheng with admiration.
No one knew Brother Lu better than you, Zhang Chengcheng.
This time, Lu Ming finally spoke.
“Chengcheng, you have a point.”
In his mind, Lu Ming’s thoughts raced.
Going out meant danger!
However, so many exotic beasts were equivalent to so much food. On top of that, eating exotic beast meat would save dining time…
And time was equivalent to skill proficiency and skill proficiency was equivalent to strength.
This deal was not easy to calculate.
In his daze, Lu Ming thought of Chang Yi, the lunatic.
“Are you sure there’s only one Tier 5 zombie over there?”
“Sure!”
“Okay, that’s good. Let me pack up and we’ll set off in ten minutes.”
Inside the room, Lu Ming quickly packed his equipment while contemplating the potential troubles he might encounter.
Chang Yi is a Level 5 Awakened with a very special superpower. After activation, he has the physical strength of a Level 6.
At the same time, Chang Yi possesses multiple superpowers. In other words, his peak combat strength is probably on par with a Level 6 peak.
And Comparing my strength with his…
He recalled his previous “battle” with Chang Yi.
A normal punch can only cause moderate damage to an opponent of this level, and using the continuous Cold Light Stab Punches to deal with such opponents seems to be a waste of one’s talent.
So, using a continuous series of regular heavy punches should be enough for me to handle a Level 6 peak opponent. If 1 encounter a Level 7, my attributes should be not too far off from a Level 7 Awakened individual. 1 have an advantage in terms of skills, but if the opponent has an outstanding superpower, victory or defeat would be uncertain.
According to the doubling theory, the biological attributes of a Level 7 creature was 640, which was not much different from Lu Ming.
So the limit of the enemy 1 can deal with is a Level 6 peak? Facing a Level 7 would pose a risk of injury!
With this thought, Lu Ming had no choice but to slow down his packing.
Sitting on the bed, Lu Ming opened the attribute panel.
Name: Lu Ming
Level: Level 1
Age: 25 years old
Strength: 626.2
Physique: 637.6
Agility: 660.2
Free Attribute Points: 234
Superpower: Awakening in progress…
Looking at the plus sign behind the Strength, Physique and Agility attributes, Lu Ming began to allocate attribute points.
After allocating all the free attribute points, Lu Ming’s attributes became:
Strength: 716.2
Physique: 727.6
Agility: 714.2
Free Attribute Points: 0
Looking at the significantly increased attributes, Lu Ming nodded, “Now, I should be able to deal with a Level 7 opponent reasonably well.”
“With this, 1 can venture outside with a little more peace of mind…”
