Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Ancestral Spirit of the Luo Family Makes an Appearance

At this time, the safe zones were still making great efforts to come up with meaningful names for themselves, such as Fortune Coming, Everlasting, Double Happiness, Newborn, and so on.

But what the safe zones are called is unimportant to the zombies. In the last world, dozens of safe zones will be wiped out one after another due to various factors such as zombie waves and human calamities. In the end, no one wanted to name the safe zones at all, thinking it was useless, so they simply called them Zone One, Zone Two, etc.

In Fortune Coming District, at a small bar, the dim light bulb was swinging unsteady. Countless drinkers were here to vent their emotions and loudly brag about their adventurous stories.

“Did you know that, Luo Ying made a breakthrough,” said a man, who with shifty eyes and a rat-like moustache, after downing a cup of low-quality white wine, and started talking about Luo Ying to the others.

“What's the story?” Someone got interested in the rat-moustached man's topic. When the drinkers heard Luo Ying's name, they gathered around, waiting for the rest of the man's story.

Now Luo Ying is one of the most famous figures in the apocalypse, the founder of the Enhancer System. He established the ranking of zombies and Enhancers, allowing mankind to realize the gap between the current technology and the fourth-order zombies.

If it weren't for his development of the Enhancer System, and his proposal to unify the currency system with contribution points as a new currency, who knows how long it would take to establish a safe zone.

During the day people risked their lives scavenging wastes for materials. In their spare time at night, they liked to gossip, and Luo Ying's gossip was the most entertaining.

However, Luo Ying was often roaming around the ruins of various cities, killing zombies, collecting brain cores, searching for survivors, and rarely came to the safe zones for supplies. Therefore, people knew very little about Luo Ying's situation. Most information was obtained from the mouths of survivors.

It was incomprehensible why someone would not come to the safe zone to replenish supplies. Not to mention anything else, water supply baffled them.

The safe zones had purification systems, ensuring a clean water supply. If Luo Ying didn't come to the safe zones, could he somehow conjure pure water?

The rat-moustached man smiled without saying a word. The drinkers immediately got the hint, shouted, “Boss, I'm buying this brother a drink!” “Give this man another bottle of pure water, a plate of compressed biscuits, and a plate of fennel beans!”

Information is not free these days.

The rat-moustached man nodded, and then continued.

“Today our squad went wandering in Qi Yu City looking for electronic parts.

Who would have thought we would happen to meet the big heads Luo Ying and

Luo Zhu, and the ancient-dressed ghost floating behind them?”

“Qi Yu City?! I heard that several second-order zombies are entrenched there, you guys are pretty gutsy to dare to venture there!”

The rat-moustached man separated the skin and meat of the fennel beans, first ate the skin, then the meat, took a sip of white wine, and finally smiled bitterly, “There are the most resources there. High risk, high reward.”

“The two big shots are indeed as formidable as rumoured. They have eyes that can see through, and not a single zombie hidden in the dark can escape their blades.”

“From a high spot, I could see two second-order zombies ambushing on the side. Normally, the two big shots wouldn't notice, and I was about to warn them. Yet, as if they had seen the zombies long before, they darted over and killed the two zombies.”

Someone exclaimed, “Those are second-order zombies! Aren't Luo Ying and

Luo Zhu only first-order?!”

Since the emergence of the Enhancer System nearly three months ago, no human has broken through to the second order. After a human absorbed a brain core once, their body needed to fully adapt and go through a cooling-off period before the next brain core absorption could take place.

Luo Ying had repeatedly come forward to advise the Enhancers not to neglect the cooling-off period, but there were always arrogant Enhancers who thought Luo Ying's success was merely luck. They did not listen to him and continued to absorb brain cores, causing their bodies to explode eventually.

Humans absorb energy through their bodies, and zombies absorb energy through their brains; thus zombies do not have a cooling-off period. This led to the emergence of second-order zombies, but no second-order Enhancers. Thankfully, second-order zombies still couldn't break through the lines of defense in the safe zones.

“That's why I said they are big shots. Just a few days ago, an eight-person squad made up entirely of Enhancers encountered a second-order zombie, and eventually, only two of them survived. The remaining six were either eaten or turned into zombies.”

“Those two casually took out two second -order zombies each.”

“Not first order any longer.” The rat-moustached man pointed at the detector and said, “I saw them absorb the two second-order brain cores and become second-order Enhancers.”

The detector can roughly determine which level a zombie or an Enhancer belongs to, and it's standard equipment for rescue teams.

Everyone sighed. The gap in combat prowess was too wide. It seemed that the Luo siblings' definition of first-order and the public's understanding of first-order were not the same concept.

Although the Enhancers were far apart and could not directly compete, making it difficult to determine rank, Luo Ying and Luo Zhu were without question the undisputed first and second best humans, respectively. The only argument was who was the first.

Now that the siblings have become unprecedented second-order Enhancers, the gap is even wider.

Looking at the current situation, there are more people who support Luo Ying as the number one in combat strength, mainly because Luo Ying is more famous. He became the first Enhancer three months ago and established the first batch of Enhancers. Many Enhancers in the safe zones have received his help now. It's safe to say that he can call the shots and switch the upper echelon of the safe zones at will.

Perhaps because Luo Ying was too dazzling, Luo Zhu wasn't very noticeable, and everyone's impression of the lovely girl remained as Luo Ying's follower.

Luo Zhu was only powerful because she was under her brother's long-term guidance and was certainly not as powerful as Luo Ying.

“By the way, what exactly is the ghost following the Luo siblings? I heard that it has been following them since before the apocalypse.”

The zombie virus and the Enhancers could be explained by science, but Jiang Li's existence truly belonged to the realm of mystery, and none of the safe zones could explain it.

“I saw the ghost holding a tower with one hand and dressed in ancient clothes.

It might be the Luo family's ancestor who has returned from the dead.”

“That does make sense.”

Since it can't be explained with existing knowledge, everyone accepted this unscientific explanation in the field of mystery.

In Qi Yu City, Jiang Li, oblivious that he was being referred to as the ancestor of the Luo family, was praising Luo Zhu.

“Pretty good, you've reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.”

Luo Zhu sat quietly on a pile of stones, placing her dagger on her thigh and gently wiping the blood on it. The moonlight pouring down made her skin seem to glow. It was ethereal and was a rare beautiful scene in this apocalyptic world.

She smiled slightly, not saying a word.

The Ancestral Pagoda beside Luo Ying comforted him, “Don't be too downhearted, having reached the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation in three months, you have been very diligent.”

Luo Ying thought to himself, I'm not downhearted, why do you provide unnecessary comfort.

At this moment, Luo Ying was carrying two systems. He was a second-order Enhancer and a Qi Cultivation ninth layer cultivator.

Luo Zhu was the same, but stronger than her brother. She was a second-order Enhancer and a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.

If the siblings joined forces, they would dare to fight even a third-order zombie. However, there was quite a gap between their current strength and being able to defeat a group of fourth-order whale zombies..
