Bai Hanlin, stared nervously at every move at the door.

The mental tension was extremely high, and it felt like every hair on my body was standing on end.

Of course two ordinary zombies are nothing to fear.

But there is still a group of militants outside.

You want revenge, but you also want to save your life!

My former self could die for my family.

Now...

he is carrying the hope of his family.

You must never say the word "death" lightly!

Stay alive!

This is Bai Hanlin's only belief now!

"Roar!"

"Uh..."

The two zombies were attracted by the gunshots outside the door and rushed out with strange screams.

Bai Hanlin also followed closely behind.

It's best to have zombies exploring the way ahead and blocking bullets.

However, the moment he rushed to the door.

I saw a huge figure suddenly jump out.

He directly bit off the heads of two zombies.

It's a brown bear!

Oh no!

It's much bigger than a brown bear, and has a long tail...

This is... a wolf?

A giant wolf that's much bigger than a bear? !

What a monster is this!

Bai Hanlin clenched the scalpel in his hand.

Ready for battle!

Ta-ta-ta!

Gunfire rang out on the other side.

Countless bullets hit the giant wolf's body, but it was unscathed!

This...

Bai Hanlin hurriedly took a few steps back, quickly dodged and hid in the corner.

Watching the Westerners outside being chewed to death by the giant wolf one by one.

I felt both hatred and fear in my heart.

Until Zhang Chen came out of the shopping mall, one person and one wolf gradually moved away.

"Is this...a human being?"

"Can tame monsters, and has such strong fighting power..."

Bai Hanlin was deeply shocked by Zhang Chen's back.

If Zhang Chen can do it...

does that mean that through hard work, he can definitely do it? !

I must be as strong as this person!

Only in this way can we not be bullied in the apocalypse and survive better!

Only in this way can he live up to his family's expectations...

Bai Hanlin looked at the blood-stained scalpel and secretly swore...

On the other side...

After Zhang Chen collected the corpses from the corpse mountain, he directly met the upgrade conditions.

bite! Congratulations, you have met the upgrade conditions. Do you want to upgrade now?

Upgrade now!

bite! Congratulations on your promotion to Advanced Awakener Stage 1!

Your body’s various attributes have been greatly improved!

The energy field surrounding your body becomes even more powerful!

bite! [Reborn] 3/3 passive trigger, your attributes are once again strengthened by 2 times!

bite! [Reborn] 3/3 passive trigger, your attributes are once again strengthened by 2 times!

[Gene Evolution Direction] Gained 1 talent point!

[Energy Evolution Direction] Gained 1 talent point!

The next level is Advanced Awakener Stage 2!

The current upgrade progress is 0/200*2!

200?

Zhang Chen thought he was dazzled.

Take a closer look.

It's indeed 200.

But the content behind it changed.

Just now it was 20000*2 [Energy Crystal Core].

What Zhang Chen needs to upgrade now is 200*2 [Gathered Crystal Cores]!

In the corner of the interface, it is marked: [Energy Crystal Core] Remaining: 3007!

[Gathered Crystal Core]: There is a certain chance that a high-level awakened person will explode [Gathered Crystal Core] when killing a high-level infected person. The higher the level of the infected person, the greater the probability that [Gathered Crystal Core] will explode!

bite! The new talent tree has been opened!

[Gene evolution direction]:

[Pioneering]: 0/3, increase the explosion rate of infected people/monsters/mutated creatures [energy-concentrated crystal core] and rare items by 33%/66%/100% (increased from the original basis, Not added to).

[Death Storm]: 0/1, wave the weapon in your hand (needs a melee weapon) and set off a powerful energy storm around you! After the storm ends, it will jump high and strike hard at the strongest or designated target, causing 500% damage!

[Weakness Perception]: 0/1, any normal attacks and skills have a chance to cause a critical hit, causing an additional 100% damage!

[Energy Evolution Direction]:

[Energy Extraction]: 0/3, you can synthesize a [Gathered Energy Crystal Core] by consuming 1000 points of [Energy Crystal Core], the success rate is 20%/35%/50%, and 0 will be returned after failure. %/25%/50% of [Energy Crystal Core]!

[Soul Burning]: 0/1 Devour your own [Energy Crystal Core] or higher level crystal core, thereby doubling your combat effectiveness! The greater the energy it swallows, the stronger its own growth!

[Instant Flash]: 0/1, instantly reaches the position within sight, the maximum distance increases with the improvement of strength! If the flash cannot reach the target location, it will automatically choose to reach the nearest safe location (if one is available).

Zhang Chen took a look.

I currently have 2 talent crystals.

In addition to the 1 talent point in each direction given by the upgrade just now.

This is equivalent to 3 talent points available for each route.

[Energy Evolution Route] There is nothing more to say.

Add one point each to [Energy Extraction], [Soul Burning] and [Instant Flash].

Get 3 additional skills directly.

Although [Energy Extraction] seems to be very helpful for upgrading, this help is limited after all.

Even if it reaches full level.

With 1,000 points of energy crystal nuclei, there is a half chance of being able to synthesize a [Gathered Energy Crystal Nucleus]...

even if it is a 100% probability.

If you want to gather 400 points of [Energy Gathering Core], then you need to multiply 400 times 1000 points of [Energy Crystal Core].

A total of 400,000 [Energy Crystal Cores]...

Even if Zhang Chen kills a few more waves of zombies, he still won't be able to get so many crystal nuclei.

Therefore, the function of this skill is to turn excess [energy crystal cores] from waste into treasure.

Speaking of the fastest upgrade...

At this stage, it is no longer the [Energy Evolution Route] but the [Gene Evolution Route]...

The pickup bonus of the previous [Energy Evolution Route] will definitely allow you to choose this route. Survivors level up one step faster.

But now... we have to watch the [Gene Evolution Route] show.

The explosion rate of [Gathered Crystal Core] and rare items is doubled!

This means that if the same number of monsters are destroyed, the [Gene Evolution Route] will get double the [Gathered Crystal Cores]!

The upgrade speed is naturally twice that of the [Energy Evolution Route]!

It's really a turn of events...

But no matter how it turns, for dual talents, it's just a matter of changing the left hand to the right hand...

Zhang Chen looked at the [Death Storm] and [Weakness Perception] of the [Gene Evolution Route] .

They are all skills that increase lethality.

Now there is the existence of [Soul Burning].

It’s okay to upgrade these two skills later.

Upgrade [Pioneer]!

bite! Upgrade successful!

[Pioneer] 3/3: Increase the explosion rate of infected people/monsters/mutated creatures [energy-concentrated crystal core] and rare items to 100%!
