Apocalypse: Become stronger by absorbing flames at the start; my name is the Flame Emperor.

Lin Yu estimated that he had killed at least 400 zombies and had already accumulated 42 crystal cores.

The probability of a crystal core being produced is approximately one in ten.

"Jing'er, take this."

Lin Yu handed 40 crystal cores to Chen Jing'er and said, "Hold the crystal cores in your hand and think about absorbing them."

Since he had promised to help her level up, Lin Yu wouldn't go back on his word; after all, she was his first woman.

Moreover, Chen Jing'er possesses magical attributes but has not yet awakened her talent, which indicates that the talent she possesses is very powerful and requires a special opportunity to awaken.

The more difficult a talent is to awaken, the more powerful it becomes once awakened.

"Mrs. Lin, you're so kind." Chen Jing'er tossed her hair, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

Mrs. Lin?

Lin Yu's face darkened.

"boom!"

A burst of flame shot out from his hand, and more than a dozen charging zombies instantly turned into two crystal cores that fell to the ground, which he picked up casually.

"Wow, Mrs. Lin, I've leveled up to level 2!"

Chen Jing'er was very excited. The process of absorbing the crystal cores was very fast. In about three minutes, all forty crystal cores were absorbed.

She also successfully reached level 2, with all four attributes increased by 10, and an additional 10 points of free attributes.

"Madam Lin, let's continue killing!"

The 14 points of strength and 25 points of speed made Chen Jing'er feel a little smug.

Liu Yu and Yang Shanshan looked at Chen Jing'er, who had clearly become stronger, with some envy, but they didn't dwell on it.

With Lin Yu around, the group went on a killing spree.

The hotel is located on Shizi West Street, which is relatively close to the foot of Xiyun Mountain, but is the furthest from the city center.

Therefore, the number of people and zombies on West Street is the lowest, while the number in the crossroads and the other three streets will be extremely high.

Most importantly, the square on the central street is blasting loud music all day long.

On the first day of the apocalypse, most of the zombies were attracted by the sound and gathered around it.

The zombies in other places are scattered and do not gather in large numbers, which makes things easier for them.

Around 6 p.m., the group had swept through one-third of the entire West Street area.

"It's about time, let's call it a day." Lin Yu and his group left the bakery and headed towards the hotel.

"Boss, thank you. Without you, we wouldn't know how we would survive in the apocalypse."

The young couple were very grateful to Lin Yu and respected him from the bottom of their hearts.

"If you want to thank someone, thank yourselves. You risked your lives to protect everything."

Lin Yu still admired the two of them.

"In short, from now on you're my boss." Liu Yu's gaze was firm.

Lin Yu smiled slightly, did not refute, and said, "Tomorrow will be the same as always, continue grinding monsters."

Upon hearing this, the three of them had a strange expression, yet they also felt it was perfectly reasonable.

indeed.

The zombies that terrify ordinary people are as easy to defeat as fighting monsters in a game, thanks to Lin Yu.

Both of them have leveled up to level 2, and Chen Jing'er has even reached level 4.

Each person's strength has increased significantly, making it easy to kill zombies individually.

Only two or three people remained in the hotel lobby.

"Could they have already been eaten by zombies?"

Huang Mao looked outside the door and muttered to himself.

He could only see four or five meters of the street directly in front of him from inside; he couldn't see the scenery on the streets on both sides.

Just then, four figures appeared in his line of sight.

Huang Mao was startled and quickly opened the door.

"Here's a reward for you."

As they entered the hotel, Lin Yu casually tossed a bag of cakes to them.

"Thanks, boss!" The blond guy was overjoyed and bowed at a 90-degree angle.

Back in the room, Lin Yu and Chen Jing'er went into the bathroom together, and another intense battle ensued.

In the end, the battle ended because of Chen Jing'er's stubbornness.

This girl truly lives up to her reputation as a master of verbal sparring.

Everything else has softened, but the mouth is still defiant.

Lin Yu took out 60 crystal cores from his backpack and silently absorbed them.

Before long, the power of the 70 crystal cores was exhausted. He directly leveled up to level 3, and his attributes improved significantly.

At level 0, each level up grants +500 magic power, +5 points to each of the four stats, and +5 free attribute points.

Without hesitation, he added all 15 extra free attribute points from level 3 to Strength.

However, this is not the end.

Lin Yu took out all the attribute fruits and began to consume them.

"I wonder what attribute this one has?"

Lin Yu was quite excited as he held the one Chen Jing'er had given him; it was worth 50 attribute points!

【Strength +50】

"Not bad, not bad, it's actually a strength attribute."

Next came 3 yellow fruits and 46 green fruits.

Soon, all the attribute fruits were completely absorbed.

He checked his own attributes.

[Level: Tier 0, Level 3]

【Magic Power: 8600】

【Strength: 156】

[Physical Fitness: 56]

【Speed: 50】

【Spirit: 130】

[Talent: S-Rank Flame Master: Evolving...]

[Flame Unlock Forms: Blazing Flame, Dragon Flame (Unlocking in progress...)]

Looking at his current attribute panel, Lin Yu was very satisfied.

Compared to his talent, strength and magic are the most important.

The next morning.

"One day, I will make sure you're on the bottom."

Chen Jing'er lay limply on the bed, clenching her little fists to encourage herself.

"Ha, how naive!" Lin Yu retorted mercilessly.

-

Today, it's still a four-person team.

This time they changed direction and started clearing the street to the right of the hotel.

"Mrs. Lin, I have a bad feeling. Why are there so few zombies here?"

Two hours later, Chen Jing'er looked at the silent street with extreme vigilance.

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Logically speaking, there should be quite a few zombies on the streets here, and even in the shops on both sides of the streets.

Now it's completely deserted, which can only mean one thing: the zombies here have been cleared out.

"Da da!"

A powerful thud of footsteps could be heard.
