The exploding fireball kicked up a wave of heat, pushing away the snowflakes in front of the venue.
The crowd gathered in front of the venue was now in a state of shock due to Chen Luo's answer.
"Chen Luo? The Chen Luo who triggered the world announcement?"
"No wonder! I was wondering why this man was so outrageously strong!"
"World's best? I wonder if this little brother is also the world's best in that regard."
The chaotic crowd was now astonished by Chen Luo's identity. In the hours since the doomsday game began, only Chen Luo had triggered a world announcement.
It could be said that everyone in the world, while facing the threat of monsters, had also become aware of Chen Luo's existence.
And now, this man stood before them.
The hostility within the crowd was rapidly dissipating. When facing an imminent fatal crisis, it would be truly foolish not to latch onto such a powerful figure.
Zhang Wei's proactive allegiance and Su Xiao's revelation of Chen Luo's identity had caused everyone to let go of their reservations.
"Chen Luo! We're willing to follow you!"
"Big shot! Just tell us your plans!"
Cheers of agreement gradually arose from the crowd, with most people mentally accepting Chen Luo's leadership.
Seeing that the situation was now under control, Chen Luo slowly nodded.
The first step of gaining the initiative had been completed. The next step was to integrate all available forces and expand their strength as quickly as possible before the crisis arrived.
.....
An hour later, inside the exhibition hall,
Everyone was no longer in their previous state of confusion and unease, nor were they wasting time huddled in corners.
Everyone had sprung into action.
"Quick! Logistics Team One, distribute the food! Logistics Team Two, distribute all materials that can be used as weapons! The remaining logistics teams, check for defensive vulnerabilities throughout the entire exhibition hall!"
Su Xiao, with a cold expression, rapidly issued tasks to the leaders of several logistics teams.
The temporarily assigned team leaders quickly returned to their team members and began to act swiftly according to Su Xiao's orders.
..
After gaining the initiative earlier, Chen Luo had ordered Su Xiao, Zhang Wei, and others who had shown their mettle to take stock of the personnel and supplies within the entire venue.
Under the pressure of high martial power, the process went surprisingly smoothly.
There were a few young troublemakers who tried to stir up trouble, but they were easily subdued by Su Xiao.
This made Chen Luo certain that this beautiful woman was definitely not a Level 0 professional.
After the inventory, there were 3359 people in the entire venue.
Supplies were extremely scarce. Even after scavenging all the shops within the venue, they were only enough for everyone to eat for about one day.
Moreover, there was a severe lack of warming supplies. When the Frost Dragon appeared, the glass ceiling of the entire venue had been shattered.
Normally, one wouldn't mind sleeping outdoors on a summer night, but the inexplicably falling, ceaseless snowflakes were gradually causing the temperature to drop.
Although everyone had become a professional, the nine hundred and ninety-nine out of a thousand who were only Level 0 would likely not be able to survive a night in the snowy weather with only their thin summer clothes.
In response to this situation, Chen Luo selected 300 young individuals to form combat teams, with himself as the leader of the combat teams.
The remaining three thousand people were divided into ten logistics teams, with a team leader temporarily chosen for each group, and Su Xiao was responsible for overall coordination.
Currently, within the venue, the ten logistics teams, under Su Xiao's arrangement, were systematically scavenging all usable supplies and reinforcing the venue's defensive vulnerabilities.
Meanwhile, Su Xiao, along with Zhang Wei and the other three hundred members of the combat team, stood outside the venue, directly facing the encroaching darkness.
"Slurp... slurp..."
Quickly shoveling the freshly prepared Braised Beef Noodles into his mouth, Chen Luo's body, which hadn't eaten for half a day, finally felt a warmth, and he closed his eyes with satisfaction.
The three hundred members of the combat team behind him were also eating the food that the logistics team had prioritized for them.
While the logistics team reinforced the venue, the combat team was also preparing for the upcoming battle.
Taking a sip of the noodle soup, Chen Luo once again studied his upgraded status panel.
In the previous battle, after reaching Level 7, Chen Luo had killed another 69 night wolves.
[Gained 13800 experience points! Level up! Gained 5 free attribute points!]
[Level]: 8 (8500/12800)
[Base Attributes]: Strength 6 Agility 7 Constitution 11 Spirit 75
[Skills]:
1. Fireball (Grade D) (5/1000)
2. Meditation (Grade C) (4/10000)
.....
All the attribute points were added by Chen Luo to his Spirit attribute, which made Chen Luo's fireballs more threatening.
After all, all fear stems from insufficient firepower. As long as the firepower is strong enough, any monster can be directly annihilated.
However, with only 110 health points, Chen Luo was like a glass cannon – powerful, but extremely fragile.
Therefore, what Chen Luo needed to do now was to cultivate enough meat shields!
The three hundred people behind him, apart from a dozen or so remote-type professionals who were similar to mages, were mostly warriors with tough hides.
With these three hundred strong men protecting him, why would he fear being approached by evil wolves?
....
As he was thinking, footsteps sounded behind Chen Luo. Even without turning around, his superb Spirit attribute allowed him to know who was approaching:
"Is there something, Su Xiao?"
The white-haired older sister stopped upon hearing this, her cool voice speaking indifferently:
"Everything has been arranged inside the venue. Except for the main entrance, all other doors and windows have been blocked with various large obstacles. These night wolves should not be able to rush in easily from other directions."
Chen Luo nodded slightly. The safe zone's light had now shrunk to six meters. Dense scarlet eyes covered the entire area around the venue, numbering in the thousands.
Therefore, Chen Luo intended to use the entire venue as the final stronghold. This way, the venue's security requirements would be very high, but fortunately, with Su Xiao's help, he didn't have to worry about these matters.
Chen Luo turned to look at the serious white-haired older sister behind him and nodded with relief.
Is this what it feels like to have a secretary? A secretary to do things for you, and when there's nothing to do... cough cough.
Shoving the improper thoughts from his mind, Chen Luo considered his current state.
The hour spent was partly for consolidating his forces and partly for allowing his mind to rest.
Reality was not a virtual game. Chen Luo was using his real body, which could feel pain, bleed, and get tired.
Controlling five fireballs simultaneously was very cool, but it also placed a significant burden on his mind.
Furthermore, continuously casting over a hundred fireballs and using the meditation skill thousands of times had left Chen Luo's brain deeply fatigued.
However, after an hour of rest, his brain's fatigue had largely recovered due to his superb Spirit attribute.
Perhaps in the future, when his attributes reached inhuman levels, Chen Luo could fight an army alone, but for now, he was just a fragile mage who could kill five giant wolves with a single shot.
Now, since he had rested enough, it was time for the hunt to begin!
