"But I don't want to expose too much of my strength. Moreover, I've offended the Summit Squad. The stronger I am, the harder my life will be. I even offended a teacher … "Tang Ling lit a cigarette and looked at the others. His words were vague, but the meaning was clear.
"Give me one. I want to try." Orston snatched a cigarette from Tang Ling and said nonchalantly, "Who the f * ck is interested in betraying you?"
Everyone shared the same opinion.
Tang Ling's heart felt warm, but he did not show any gratitude on his face. Instead, he tossed the bag with the crystals to Vian. "Count how many crystals you have and rest for another 10 minutes. I think we should move now. "
"What are we going to do?" Orston asked, but Tang Ling did not answer.
The crystals were quickly cleared out. More than 900 zombies had contributed a total of 80 crystals to the Fierce Dragon Squad.
Of course, most of the crystals came from the Level 1 mutated zombies, so the quality was definitely not comparable to the crystals that Tang Ling got from the Level 3 mutated mantis.
Most of the crystals were turbid and some of them did not even form purple threads.
Crystals were also categorized into low quality crystals, normal crystals, good crystals, excellent crystals, and perfect crystals.
The crystals that the zombies produced were of the lowest quality, but the crystals from the Level 3 mutated mantis had surpassed the normal crystals and were almost at the level of good crystals.
Therefore, after a quick calculation, the 80 crystals were worth at most three crystals from the mutated mantis. However, under normal circumstances, no one would be willing to trade the best normal crystals for these low quality crystals.
Therefore, the value of the crystals was around 400 Hope credits.
It was a huge sum of money for the Fierce Dragon Squad. Everyone was overjoyed when Vian told them the number of crystals she had collected.
Only Tang Ling was dissatisfied. After calculating his investment, the reward was a little too much.
Moreover, he would get 100 Hope credits and the rest would be split among the others. Was it not a little too much?
Of course, Tang Ling knew everyone would accept the distribution method, but his pride was still thinking about how he could earn more Hope credits.
The answer was no!
Clearing the zombies in the garage was already his limit. Even though he did not look tired, he was actually starving.
He had to use the remaining precious stamina to run for his life.
"Put away the crystal first. This time, I want 100 Hope credits because I have to enter the Tower of Babel once. I'll make it up to everyone in the future, "Tang Ling said straightforwardly. It seemed like he was not good at explaining things to the people he cared about.
"No problem. Plus the rewards from the mission, the Fierce Dragon Squad will get 450 Hope credits. "Yu agreed. Only he knew how much Tang Ling had sacrificed for this mission.
"You did the most. It's fair." Orston was not a petty person.
Andy had always supported Tang Ling, and needless to say, Vian too. Christina, on the other hand, believed in Tang Ling's trustworthiness and believed that he would compensate everyone in the future.
As for Amir, he only said that he would do as everyone suggested.
After spilling the most embarrassing thing, Tang Ling no longer felt burdened. He asked Vian for the last piece of meat and drank a few mouthfuls of water. Then, he quickly built a simple ladder out of the rotten racks.
Everyone knew what Tang Ling was trying to do. Was he out of his mind? Did he mean to break through the roof?!
"Tang Ling, that's impossible! We can't get out even if we climb up to the roof. The place is filled with zombies. We can't get down.
Besides, we'll expose ourselves on the roof and attract more zombies. If they pile up, we won't even be able to return to the garage. "This time, it was Amir, who had always been quiet, who voiced his opinion.
He could not accept the fact that Tang Ling said that he could escape with this method. Break through the roof?
"Don't worry. I'm just going to check out the situation. Are we going to stay here without knowing anything? At least, we have to know why the rescue isn't coming. We'll think about it later, "Tang Ling comforted everyone.
Everyone went quiet.
Indeed, staying in the garage would not know what was going on outside. If they waited any longer, they would only be drowned by the zombies.
"Then, you must be careful," Vian could not help but remind him.
There was no better way and no better candidate. No one was stronger than Tang Ling at the scene and could shoulder the heavy responsibility.
Tang Ling did not answer Vian. Instead, he smiled at everyone and leaped up the simple stairs. He was as nimble as a monkey as he easily climbed up the office window.
The windows at the top of the garage were tall, and the windowsill was covered with a thick layer of black dust. It was only around 30 cm wide.
Tang Ling squatted down on the windowsill and peeked his head out. He saw a sea of zombie heads below him.
The zombies below the window were very sensitive. All Tang Ling did was poke his head out and they noticed him. They roared madly and the sea of zombies started to swarm towards Tang Ling.
Such a change caused the walls of the entire office to shake.
The members of the Fierce Dragon Squad who stayed in the office turned pale. They did not even have to look to know how many zombies had gathered outside. It might be even more than before.
Tang Ling's expression did not change at all. At least, the zombies could not attack him now, so it did not matter how many there were. However, he could not stay on the windowsill for too long. If he attracted a Level 2 mutated Crawler, the height would not be enough to stop it.
"I hope I'm not that unlucky." Due to the structure of the garage, the eaves that extended out blocked Tang Ling's sight. He squatted down on the windowsill and could only see the sea of zombies below. He could not see what was happening further away.
Therefore, Tang Ling inhaled deeply and leaped out nimbly. He reached out and grabbed the edge of the eaves. Using the momentum from his jump, he flipped himself up to the roof.
The climb might seem easy for Tang Ling, but he was worried that the clumsy Orston and the two girls would not be able to reach the roof. If they fell into the sea of zombies, the consequences would be dire.
Therefore, the moment he reached the roof, Tang Ling decided to find a reliable support and tie the climbing rope in his backpack.
However, just as he squatted down and was about to take off his backpack, a terrifying roar came from the southeast.
What's that? Tang Ling's expression changed as he instinctively laid down and looked towards the southeast.
It was the deepest part of the garage area. A blurry, gigantic shadow was standing at the edge of a large garage.
It was waving its arms around madly. Each time it waved its arms, it would grab one or two warriors of the Hope Barrier and stuff them into its mouth.
A single glance at the shadow made Tang Ling's heart race madly. The Zombie King! The Zombie King of the garage area! Why is a Level 6 mutated zombie there?
