CHAPTER 856: CHAPTER 205: WHAT? YOU PILED IT UP WITH QUANTITY?_6

Chen Ningning looked at Pang Yuan and Sun Ya, as if inquiring about their situation.

Pang Yuan and Sun Ya looked at each other.

They actually didn’t mind, but if they had to say, they were more inclined to just hang around the gathering place.

They just caught the implications in Lin Fan’s words.

Why extend the olive branch to Chen Ningning again?

Perhaps it’s because... maybe one day in the future, Chen Ningning might die in some corner while pursuing this fictitious divine path, falling victim to a zombie.

"Ningning, you should go to the Sunshine Shelter. As a girl with an introverted personality and simple thoughts, it’s really not suitable for you to stay here. If you can always stay by his side, maybe you can get closer to your divine path."

Pang Yuan said.

Sun Ya said, "Yes, you should go."

"Aren’t you two going?" Chen Ningning was a bit reluctant to part with them, as they had been taking care of her all this time.

Pang Yuan smiled and said, "Miss Qiuyue still needs to investigate the situation at the gathering place. We’ll stay here to accompany her in her investigation, and once it’s settled, we can come find you."

Lin Fan said, "Professor Ji, what do you need to investigate about this gathering place?"

Ji Qiuyue said, "I want to know who’s controlling this gathering place from behind the scenes."

"Then you need to be careful. There’s a mysterious organization that has always been capturing survivors for research. His name is Qin Ling."

Lin Fan had been looking for this guy, but the post-apocalyptic world was too chaotic, zombies were everywhere, and finding this guy was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Even the group capturing survivors had to go through multiple transfers to reach the headquarters, and any problem could blow up, leaving no corpse behind, and no one knew where they would end up.

Ji Qiuyue nodded.

Lin Fan looked at Chen Ningning, "Are you willing to go with me?"

Chen Ningning lowered her head, fiddling with her fingers, and finally said apologetically, "I’m sorry, I still want to stay with everyone."

After speaking, she didn’t dare to look up at Lin Fan.

Feeling that she really didn’t know what was good for her.

Obviously being invited like this, yet still refusing.

To put it simply, it’s like refusing a favor.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "It’s okay, I understand. Friendship is often the most important thing. I’m carrying a satellite phone when I go out, take it. If you encounter any trouble or danger in the future, just call me. Don’t be embarrassed, saving more survivors is my wish."

"Don’t think that just because I just killed Lu Hao, I wanted to. He attacked first, and I was just defending myself."

No mistake, it was self-defense.

Chen Ningning accepted the satellite phone, holding it like a treasure, bowing and thanking, "Thank you."

Lin Fan smiled and nodded.

Then as if he thought of something.

"Wait for me a moment, I’ll be right back," said Lin Fan.

"Where are you going?"

"To get you something."

After saying that, he quickly leapt away.

He came and went in a hurry.

The group exchanged glances.

"Wow, really like a divine being."

Chen Ningning’s eyes were filled with admiration for Lin Fan. If she had no one to admire before, now she did, and it was Lin Fan.

Pang Yuan and Sun Ya sighed in their hearts.

Yes.

Really like a divine being.

They looked down again at the dead Lu Hao.

Really inexplicable.

If he had just spoken nicely, none of this would have happened, right?

Why did it have to be this way?

If the people in the gathering place found out, they probably wouldn’t believe that the number one-ranked Lu Hao was blown away by a simple punch from Lin Fan of the Sunshine Shelter.

While they were in deep thought.

Lin Fan returned, but when he came back, he appeared holding four boxes.

Clang!

The boxes hit the ground.

They looked at the black boxes, and just from the texture, they could tell that these boxes were anything but ordinary.

"This is..."

Lin Fan said, "War Armor, a combination of technology and crystallization, can help you survive better in the apocalypse. This is what I hope to see, and I hope you make good use of the War Armor."

Opening the boxes, the black-textured War Armor appeared before them.

"Pang Yuan, your ability is at the fourth level, right?"

"Yes."

"Hmm, got it."

Lin Fan took out a pouch from his waist, pulled out crystals, and the white crystals clinked against the armor.

Pang Yuan knew that this was enhancing the armor. Armors that received crystal enhancements could become stronger.

The white ones ended.

Black Crystals.

Such an extravagant scene left Pang Yuan and the others stunned, as they had never seen anyone act so dominantly.

Pale Golden Crystals.

When Lin Fan took out the Golden Crystals.

Pang Yuan and the others were thoroughly shocked.

"Ah... Golden Crystals."

Their voices seemed very shocked.

This made Lin Fan quite puzzled, "What’s wrong? You have reached the fourth level, so it seems there’s nothing to these Golden Crystals."

Pang Yuan shook his head wildly, "No, I reached the fourth level not using Golden Crystals. I’ve always used Black Crystals to reach the fourth level."

"Black Crystals?"

Lin Fan was dumbfounded. The situation the other side described was beyond his understanding.

"Black Crystals can elevate abilities to the fourth level?"

From the outbreak of the apocalypse until now.

In what he understood, one color of crystal was equivalent to one stage.

Ji Qiuyue was also looking at Pang Yuan in surprise, then seemed to understand something. No wonder Pang Yuan was utterly helpless against Lu Hao, and could even be defeated in one move.

The gap in strength could very well be related to the crystals consumed.

Ji Qiuyue asked, "Lu Hao’s fourth level was achieved using Golden Crystals?"

Pang Yuan shook his head and said, "No, Golden Crystals are very rare. If they appear, the entire gathering place would be in an uproar. It seems Lu Hao used Pale Golden Crystals to reach the fourth level."

Ji Qiuyue: ...?

Lin Fan: ...?

What?

Lin Fan found it hard to believe that external Awakeners had such a tough time elevating their abilities, without even having a crystal for each stage, but relying on quantity to move up. Surely this would create a huge disparity in power.

Thinking of the Awakeners in the Sunshine Shelter.

They each consumed a specific type of crystal for each stage.

Absolutely no piling up with other crystals.

Sigh!

Indeed.

Awakeners outside really don’t have it easy.

"No worries, I’ll enhance the armor for you first, then leave you some crystals."

Lin Fan shook his head, just hoping they can be well off. It seems that getting good crystals is quite difficult for external Awakeners.
