Chapter 213 Shen Zechuan Advances to Level 6
The mutated jellyfish have retreated, and the crisis is temporarily over.
Everyone was exhausted and they all climbed down the city wall, their hands and feet trembling.
Zhou Yang and his group followed the crowd down the city wall.
However, before leaving, Zhou Yang remembered that there was still a mutated jellyfish corpse in the space that hadn't been dealt with, so he went directly to the city wall and threw the corpse next to the mutated octopus below.
Back at the foot of the city wall, the soldiers from Shanghai were busy cleaning up the battlefield.
Fortunately, there were no casualties this time; it was mostly just some destroyed building ruins, which were easy to deal with.
So Zhou Xian and the others didn't participate anymore and went straight back to their accommodation to rest.
Xu Qingtang, who had been left downstairs, immediately went to greet Zhou Yang and the others when she saw them coming down.
"Brother, are you all alright?"
Shen Zechuan shook his head: "I'm fine. How about you? You weren't hurt down there all by yourself, were you?"
"No! Everything's fine!"
"That's good."
The group followed the main group back to their accommodation. After having a quick meal with everyone, they hurriedly returned to their rooms.
After the fierce battle, everyone was covered in stench, sweat, and dust, and it would be really uncomfortable not to take a shower.
Showering is out of the question, but tub baths are still fine.
Fortunately, they were assigned two rooms. One room was reserved for Xu Qingtang, while the others went to the other room to take a shower.
After washing up, feeling refreshed, they lay on their futons on the floor and instantly felt sleepy.
From yesterday until now, the group has only slept for a few hours in total, falling asleep soon after lying down.
When Zhou Yang woke up again, it was already past 11 o'clock.
He was the first to wake up; everyone else was still asleep. Shen Zechuan was also sleeping soundly, half-holding him, showing no signs of waking up.
However, the others had all overexerted their powers and were far more tired than him, so it was normal that they hadn't woken up yet.
Although he was awake, Zhou Yang didn't get up for fear of disturbing others, especially Shen Zechuan who was holding him.
But there was nothing to do while lying down, so he simply closed his eyes and immersed his consciousness in the space, calling out to Ah Hu to help him tidy up the space he hadn't looked at in a long time.
This tidying up took more than half an hour.
When Zhou Yang opened her eyes again, Shen Zechuan was no longer beside her, nor were Yan Fei and Shen Zechuan from next door. She was also wearing a jacket that belonged to Shen Zechuan.
It seems that Shen Zechuan thought he was still asleep, so he didn't wake him up.
When I checked the time again, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhou Yang quickly lifted his coat and propped himself up to sit up.
Hearing the noise, the pea nearby immediately came over and touched it.
Zhou Yang stroked the pea's neck to soothe it before turning to look for the others. He then saw Shen Zechuan and the others sitting around on the other side, while Chi Feng and the others were in another room, seemingly discussing something.
He then got up and walked over. As soon as he got close, he heard Shen Zechuan say, "I don't know when the next wave of attacks will arrive. I plan to level up to level 6 today."
"Are you sure? I think Zhou Yang's leveling up last night was quite dangerous. He was convulsing all over, and his clothes were soaked with sweat. I think he even vomited blood..." Lu Yanwen hesitated, thinking about how Zhou Yang looked when he leveled up last night.
Zhou Yang, who was already standing behind the group, was speechless.
Well, he actually just got an electric shock; the charge was so strong he almost died. As for vomiting blood… well, he just accidentally bit his tongue.
Yan Fei pondered for a moment and said, "Zhou Yang is a special case. In a moment of desperation, he forced a breakthrough, directly advancing two levels, which is naturally quite dangerous. But Ze Chuan is different. He has been stuck at the peak of level 5 for some time, and as a lightning-type ability user, his physique is also better, making it much easier for him to advance to level 6."
Lu Yanwen and Lu Xingye agreed, so they both nodded.
Xu Qingtang, who had been quietly listening to their conversation without interrupting, scratched her hair and turned her head to see Zhou Yang standing diagonally behind her. She immediately called out, "Brother Zhou, you're up!"
Zhou Yang smiled silently at Xu Qingtang.
Upon hearing Xu Qingtang's words, Yan Fei and the others immediately turned around and saw Zhou Yang standing behind them.
Upon seeing Zhou Yang, Shen Zechuan immediately stood up and walked over to her, saying, "Yangyang, you're awake? Won't you sleep a little longer?"
"No, I won't be able to fall back asleep once I wake up." Zhou Yang shook his head with a smile. "By the way, I just heard you say that you're leveling up today?"
"Yes, let's level up while it's still relatively safe during the day. That way, we'll have a better chance of success if there's another surprise attack from the sea at night."
"Well, that's fine too."
Zhou Yang did not stop him. He had witnessed those mutated marine creatures with his own eyes last night and found that their level was far beyond his understanding.
For all of them, it would indeed be the best option if Shen Zechuan could level up sooner.
However, there's no rush to upgrade; we need to fill our stomachs first and make some preparations.
Yan Fei and the others had already brought back the communal meals from the rescue team downstairs, but they were bland and tasteless with little salt and oil. If they hadn't all been so hungry, none of them would have been able to eat them.
Although Zhou Yang still had some food left, she didn't plan to eat it. After putting it into her spatial storage, she took out several more plates of food, intending to treat everyone to a good meal to replenish their energy.
In the corner, Chi Feng, who had been resting with his eyes closed and not participating in Shen Zechuan's conversation at all, finally opened his eyes and eagerly came over after smelling the aroma of food.
The group had a big meal together, and two days later, their stomachs were finally full of oil and fat again.
After dinner, Shen Zechuan decided to start leveling up to level 6 immediately.
Zhou Yang didn't say anything, but he made him drink a bottle of spring water in advance, and then took out a bunch of crystal cores, ready to make him replenish his energy at any time.
Shen Zechuan nodded to Zhou Yang and gave him a reassuring look before calming down, closing his eyes, and holding the crystal core to begin upgrading.
As time passed, Shen Zechuan's expression gradually shifted from composure to a hint of restraint, clearly indicating that he was beginning to grasp the key to upgrading.
Sure enough, within minutes, Shen Zechuan's forehead began to sweat profusely, his muscles tensed up, and his veins bulged, as if he were using all his strength to sprint towards something.
This state lasted for more than an hour before it gradually eased.
The crystal core in Shen Zechuan's hand had already shrunk by half.
Just when everyone thought he had successfully leveled up and was about to finish, Shen Zechuan suddenly began to absorb a large amount of crystal core energy that was piled up next to him. Soon after, he groaned and spilled a mouthful of blood from the corner of his mouth, staining the straw mat beneath him red, which startled everyone else.
Zhou Yang was also terrified, thinking that something had gone wrong with Shen Zechuan's upgrade, and hurriedly pulled Chi Feng over to check.
"Look at him, what's wrong? Did he fail to upgrade?"
"No, it seems like he was too eager for quick success. After reaching level 6, he went straight for the late stage of level 6. Tsk, he's really reckless! Doesn't he know that this could easily lead to trouble?" Chi Feng looked at Shen Zechuan for a while, and after sensing the other party's current energy fluctuations, he said coolly.
Hearing Chi Feng's words, Yan Fei and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Zhou Yang was relieved, her expression was still quite unpleasant.
He cursed inwardly: This guy! He's completely outrageous!
