They set off immediately after lunch.

There were not many people accompanying Chang Yi. Other than Gao Junyi, there was only a driver who knew nothing.

They arrived at the base of the Holy Tower, and Gao Junyi accompanied Chang Yi out of the car and walked to the bottom of the Holy Tower. Chang Yi raised his head and looked at the towering spire.

His vision was momentarily blank.

Vaguely, a piece of information seemed to transmit into Chang Yi’s mind.

Chang Yi attentively tried to listen and discern the message for several minutes before he came back to his senses.

Gao Junyi had been observing Chang Yi’s reactions all the while. When Chang Yi regained his senses, Gao Junyi quickly asked, “Mr. Chang, how is it?”

Chang Yi narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment before he honestly said,

“Your speculation is indeed correct. 1 triggered a reaction from the tower.”

“Just as I was approaching the Holy Tower, a piece of information suddenly appeared in my mind..”

“It told me that if I wanted to gain stronger power, if I wanted to escape from this dire situation, 1 should touch it.”

“Stronger power..

Danger zone..”

Gao Junyi repeated these two terms. Just as he was about to ask, he heard Chang Yi say, “Don’t ask me. I don’t know what danger zone refers to either.” “However, there’s a high chance that it’s referring to the black mist circle we’re currently in.”

This reminded Chang Yi of everything that had happened in the black mist.

He shivered and had some guesses in his heart—but he decided there was no need to share them with Gao Junyi.

While contemplating, Chang Yi turned around and walked towards the car, saying, “Let’s go back first. 1 need to think about this matter carefully.”

Chang Yi was indeed serious.

Back at the official shelter, Chang Yi lay on the bed and did not even touch the beauty beside him. He was fully focused on contemplating the information obtained from the Holy Tower.

“Stronger power.. Actually, 1 can also obtain stronger power from the black mist. There are Tier 5 monsters in the black mist that can drop Tier 5 zombie crystals. In that case, 1 have the conditions to break through to Level 6.”

“But the danger there is too great.. It’s even a hundred times more dangerous than being trapped in a zombie wave!”

“In other words, the stronger power referred to by the Holy Tower should be safer than exploring the black mist..”

Power was a good thing.

Everyone wanted to become stronger.

In Chang Yi’s opinion, taking risks to obtain power was worth it, but there was a limit to everything—it was not worth it to obtain stronger power by exploring the black mist.

And the path to the Holy Tower represented the unknown.

No one knew what would happen after a Level 5 Awakened came into contact with the Holy Tower, and facing the unknown made Chang Yi very flustered.

“And the Danger Zone.. Nanxiang City is currently enveloped in black mist. According to the officials, the black mist will shrink, gradually squeezing the territory of humans and even the zombies.”

“If one day, the black mist completely covers Nanxiang, won’t Nanxiang become a danger zone?”

Thinking of what he had experienced in the black mist, Chang Yi’s brows furrowed even deeper.

Suddenly, a soft body gently coiled around him, and a fragrant scent wafted over, stirring a reaction in Chang Yi.

Qiao Luo, who was in his arms, said coquettishly, “Brother Chang..”

Chang Yi’s eyes instantly turned amorous, “Yes, I’m here.”

Love can erase a thousand worries.

Soon, Chang Yi let go of his worries.historical

Another three days passed.

Day 101 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Tuesday.

Noon, lunchtime.

Familiar location and familiar people.

On one side, Chang Yi ate and drank with an astonishing appetite.

On the other side, Gao Junyi marveled at the physical fitness of a Level 5

Awakened while accompanying him with small talk.

Living a carefree life day after day, like an emperor, Chang Yi did not seem weakened at all.

Then Chang Yi finished his meal, wiped his mouth, and looked at Gao Junyi. “Another three days, don’t tell me there is still no response from Brother Lu?” This time, Chang Yi was really impatient.

Three days, three days, and another three days..

One thing after another prevented Chang Yi from meeting Lu Ming in person.

And during these last three days, Chang Yi had finally figured out the matter of the Holy Tower.

Respond to the Holy Tower?

Impossible!

It would not be too late to respond to the Holy Tower when the situation became impossible.

Now, he only wanted to do one thing, enjoy!

Eat! Drink! Play! Have fun!

‘After I’ve had enough fun, we can talk about other things.’

If he wanted to enjoy himself, he had to conquer the official shelter. Only then would he not have to worry about food, drink, and beauties.

However, if he wanted to take down the official shelter, the legendary Brother

Lu would become a stumbling block in Chang Yi’s path.

Chang Yi felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer.

If Gao Junyi said “no,” Chang Yi would massacre the official shelter without paying any more attention to Brother Lu.

But unexpectedly, a smile appeared on Gao Junyi’s chubby face.

“Brother Chang, Brother Lu has replied. He has time to meet you now. Shall we leave now?”

Chang Yi was slightly stunned. He thought for a moment and could not help but ask, “Can’t he come to meet me instead?”

Gao Junyi revealed a troubled expression,”Brother Chang, do you know the kind of status and strength our Brother Lu have? Ordinary people can’t even meet Brother Lu even if they want to. Now that Brother Lu can spare some time to see you, it’s already a great deal.. What do you think..”

Chang Yi felt offended.

But this actually ignited Changyi’s competitive spirit.

He snorted and stood up decisively, “Alright, since your Brother Lu is so awesome, I’ll go and see what kind of character he really is!”

Today, in the afternoon.

The gathering place on Guangping Street had already been cleared.

Only Lu Ming sat alone in front of his house.

As he recalled the conversation with Huo Sheng earlier in the morning, Lu Ming could not help but scratch his head.

“Chang Yi?”

“Let me deal with him?”

“How do I deal with him?”

Huo Sheng did not say how to deal with him.

Huo Sheng only mentioned that Chang Yi did not seem like a good person, and he persistently wanted to meet Lu Ming. The officials could not stop him.

As for how Lu Ming should handle the meeting, Huo Sheng left the decision to Lu Ming.

As everyone knew, Lu Ming disliked trouble, and he particularly did not like meeting strangers – Changyi checked both boxes, which naturally made Lu Ming not have a good impression of him..

Suddenly, the humming sound of a car echoed in his ears. Lu Ming looked up and saw a military vehicle driving into the gathering place. Soon, it stopped about twenty meters in front of him.

“Bang.”

The car door opened, and two men, one fat and one thin, stepped out from the back seat.

“Hello, Brother Lu!”

The chubby man greeted Lu Ming respectfully from a distance. Lu Ming nodded slightly and looked at the thin man beside him.

With a height of 1.8 meters, he seemed like a dwarf compared to Lu Ming.

But he had a quirky mustache.

He was wearing a white sports jacket and light blue jeans. His expression was relatively calm, but Lu Ming could vaguely see a glimmer of light in this person’s eyes.

It was the light of ambition.

It was also the light of pride.

And it was the light of danger.

“Are you the legendary Brother Lu?”

Meeting Lu Ming’s eyes, Chang Yi asked..
