Dharma King-had he earned the title of Thunder Dharma King for nothing?
He really had punished wave after wave of people who wanted to eat dog meat.
Chen Luo honestly had no idea whether Dharma King and Mi Ling had ever fought at their peak, or which of them was stronger.
Mi Ling had died, and her entire base had been wiped out, but Dharma King had still been alive and well.
If Chen Luo had survived until the very end, Dharma King would probably have been the second-to-last to die.
Yes, in Chen Luo's mouth.
Mi Ling and Dharma King were probably about evenly matched.
But that had been in his previous life. This time, Chen Luo was developing Dharma King's strength as fast as possible, giving him more crystals than he could absorb every day.
And Mi Ling? Could she have learned about crystals right away and absorbed her daily limit every day?
Dharma King would break through to level three within the next couple of days, either tonight or tomorrow night.
Mi Ling? Ha. In a fight without rules, Dharma King would definitely catch her off guard and kill her.
Mi Ling was furious. This Chen Luo is humiliating me again, comparing me to a dog.
Seeing her reaction, Chen Luo backed down. "Fine, fine, you're stronger than Dharma King. Happy now?"
Arguing over who was stronger was completely meaningless.
Dharma King was unhappy too. Is being weaker than me really that embarrassing?
Chen Luo said, "Talk means nothing. In three days, we'll know once you've fought."
Mi Ling was about to say something else when Dharma King suddenly rose from the floor, looking alert.
Knock, knock, knock.
The knocking was neither particularly loud nor soft.
A woman's voice rang out.
"Mi Ling, Mi Li, are you home?"
Mi Ling fell silent. Did someone see me when I came home at noon?
The voice sounded somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember who it belonged to. It was probably some woman from the complex.
The woman pleaded, "Mi Ling, I saw you come back. Please, give me something to eat. I haven't eaten for two days. Please give me some food."
If nobody answered, the woman would probably keep knocking. Although she posed no threat, it would get annoying, and Chen Luo and the others wouldn't be able to make any noise freely.
In an absolutely foul mood, Mi Ling walked to the door and said expressionlessly,
"You haven't eaten for two days? So you ate something two days ago?"
Chen Luo: "..."
What a refreshingly original response.
Outside the door, Zhang Qin: ???
Is that something a decent human being would say?
Mi Ling said coldly, "I don't have any food either. Go away."
Her heartless words seemed to have made Zhang Qin give up.
Still looking upset, Mi Ling noticed Mi Li staring at her strangely. She sighed and began giving her a lesson.
"Mi Li, ordinarily, since we have food, we should give this woman some. After all, she seems pretty pitiful, having gone two days without eating."
"But no matter how much we give her, she'll run out eventually. What do we do if she comes back asking for more?"
"Do we give it to her or not? If we keep giving her food, she'll keep asking. If we refuse, the food we gave her before will have been wasted. Not only will she not be grateful, she'll hate us instead."
"The more times we give her food, the more she'll hate us."
"We're struggling to survive ourselves. How could we possibly keep feeding her? It's better to turn her down from the start."
"Survival of the fittest. If she can't find food and dies, she has only her own weakness to blame."
"So don't be too quick to pity people from now on, and don't go around doing good deeds indiscriminately."
Mi Li nodded. "I know. Give someone a little and they're grateful; give them a lot and they grow resentful."
Chen Luo smiled at that. "Mi Ling, you've really got things figured out."
No wonder Mi Ling had managed to keep herself and Mi Li alive in his previous life. Her understanding was far from ordinary.
Mi Ling snorted. "In three days, I'll see just where all that confidence comes from."
Chen Luo chuckled. If I didn't want to blow your mind by showing you Void Walk, and weren't worried about hurting you, I'd want to spank you right now.
Just then, Rice said to Chen Luo, "Chen Luo, I sensed malice from that person just now."
Chen Luo grunted in acknowledgment. Whatever the reason for that malice, if she dared come after them, she wouldn't be leaving.
Chen Luo gently stroked Rice. You really are amazing, Rice. With you around, I can even tell friend from foe.
Zhang Qin left Mi Ling's home, cursing inwardly. That little bitch Mi Ling is actually this vicious.
You and your sister will get what's coming to you soon.
Zhang Qin went downstairs and around to the wall on the left side of the building. Five men waited there, some in their twenties and others in their forties.
At the sight of Zhang Qin, those who had been squatting immediately stood up, their eyes gleaming as they asked,
"Did you confirm it? Is Mi Ling home too?"
Zhang Qin nodded. "She's home. She just spoke to me."
Unable to help herself, Zhang Qin recounted her exchange with Mi Ling.
One of the men chuckled lewdly. "Mi Li's home too. I saw her going in and out of the complex with two men."
The others couldn't help chiming in.
"Great! Mi Ling and Mi Li are both alive. Otherwise, what a waste that would've been."
"I normally need pills to get it up, but, heh, one look at Mi Ling and I don't need any."
"Damn, that body, that face. For a beauty like that, even dying would be worth it."
"Yeah, yeah. One go with her and I could die happy."
"Fuck, let's get going. Don't let those two men get there first. Who are they, anyway? I've never seen Mi Ling or Mi Li bring men home before."
Zhang Qin said viciously, "Make sure you really torment them later. I've hated them for ages."
These people were all original homeowners in Mi Li's complex, so of course they knew the beautiful sisters who had lived there for years.
Who didn't lust after them?
But before the apocalypse, social order had kept them in check. They'd had the desire, but not the nerve.
If they dared grope her, Mi Ling's self-defense skills were no joke.
As for Zhang Qin, her husband had been away at work, and she didn't know whether he was dead or alive. Before the apocalypse, he had often ogled Mi Ling and Mi Li.
Zhang Qin had caught him and fought with him more times than she could count. She had long held a grudge against Mi Ling and Mi Li.
She was also intensely jealous of their looks. That was why she was willing to scout things out for these five men. In fact, she had been the first to suggest it.
There were now two men and two women in Mi Ling and Mi Li's home, but their group had five men alone. What was there to fear?
Especially when they had weapons-steel rods or stools-and had awakened abilities. They were brimming with confidence.
One burly bald man in particular held a large iron sledgehammer, planning to use it to smash his way through the door.
Watching the situation outside from beside the window, Su Dazhu said, "Bro, some people are coming. They're armed, and they're up to no good."
Chen Luo said casually, "Mm. Go downstairs and deal with them. Don't let them die in the stairwell, or we'll have to clean up."
If they died in the stairwell, they would have to carry them out. Otherwise, were they supposed to step over their stinking corpses every time they came and went?
