Above the quiet and uninhabited woods, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Cheng Duo slumped on the ground in embarrassment, clutching the dead leaves on the ground with both hands, and laughed madly, "Ha, ha ha..."

He was about to die, but it didn't matter, before he died, he was fighting this I don't want to be a jerk, and it severely damaged his half-brother. Thinking of Cheng Zhao's astonished expression when he dug out the crystal nucleus with his own hands, Cheng Duo felt it was worth it!

In the last days, the ability user's ability to operate depends entirely on the crystal nucleus in his dantian. Without the crystal nucleus, Cheng Zhao will become a waste even if he barely saves his life. Didn't his father dislike his superpowers for being useless and couldn't wait to get rid of Cheng Zhao after he woke up? Now that family of four has become ordinary people, I don't know what they will depend on to live in the future?

Cheng Duo's fingers gradually tightened and turned white, because the wound on the top of his head was still bleeding.

Cheng Duo didn't blame his father for sweeping him out, but he should never have sold him into an underground research institute under the pressure of his good stepmother and good younger siblings!

Isn't he his father's own son? And his younger siblings, who, despite being half-brothers, are still related by blood. Even after the outbreak of the zombie virus, he was the only one in the family who awakened his power ability, and at the age of 16, he shouldered the burden of supporting the whole family.

Cheng Duo thought it was right at the time: his father was not too young, and his physical fitness dropped significantly after being pampered for many years, and his mentality could not be adjusted because he was afraid that zombies would not even dare to come out of the city gate. And Cheng Zhao and Cheng Wei were too young, the oldest Cheng Zhao was only 13 years old... What could he do, could he just watch the whole family starve to death?

Cheng Duo couldn't do it.

It is a pity that the efforts of the past ten years have not returned the gratitude of the family. People's greed is endless. After Cheng Zhao finally awakened the space ability, his useless power system ability user became very redundant.

Zombies in the last days can be upgraded, and so can power users. In the early stage, the power users of the legal system, who seemed to be weak, were enough to crush a group of ordinary zombies at the third level. Even in the face of zombies of the same level, their long-range attacks also had a certain self-protection ability. Only they, the power-based abilities, can upgrade far less quickly than zombies. And because the advanced zombies have become more and more "copper skin and iron bones", they are used to melee combat power system, and often they can't break the defense after several slashes, and every time they go out on a mission, they suffer heavy casualties. From the main force of killing zombies in the early days of the apocalypse, to the victims of road exploration in the middle and late stages, and even the victims of suicide-style monsters, the status of power-based ability users has become very embarrassing. In addition, the physique of the power user has been upgraded and tempered, and the enhancement of strength has also become a subsidiary gift. With the disappearance of ordinary zombies in the later stage, the situation of the power power user is a little better than that of ordinary people. If you are smart enough in the early days of the apocalypse and know how to improve your power system as soon as possible, it will be fine. In order to support a large family like Cheng Duo, he was reluctant to use crystal cores. In the last ten years of the last world, he was only a second-level power-type ability user, which was simply a tasteless rib among tasteless ribs. The supplies he brought back are getting less and less, they should have been disgusted by them for a long time, right? Now think about the stepmother's words that seem to be comforting but are actually provocative, and the inadvertently jealous eyes of the younger brothers and sisters... It's just wishful thinking for him to think that the family is in a good mood and has a good relationship!
Thinking of what happened in the past, Cheng Duo vomited a mouthful of blood with regret. He was lying on the ground in self-deprecation, waiting for the energy riot that devoured the crystal nucleus to take him away, or maybe... he couldn't wait for that time. Cheng Duo's ears moved, and he heard the "rustling" sound coming from the wind. That was the movement of the mutant beast stepping on the dead leaves. It should have smelled the blood and came to enjoy his meal specially. Sure enough, four or five footsteps belonging to beasts lingered nearby, and there were faint roars from the beasts' throats, but they never waited for the expected attack. Cheng Duo frowned, what are you doing, the mutant beast is so timid? And listening to the movement, they don't seem to be big?
