Chen Luo, who was rapidly leveling up his skills, paused his imposing posture upon hearing this.
His eyes, flashing with Eagle Eye, couldn't help but glance at Zhang Wei.
What's going on, little brother! Haven't seen you for a moment, and you're already cursing your boss?!
Zhang Wei, oblivious to Chen Luo's threatening gaze, gesticulated excitedly:
"I knew you weren't human, boss! It was you who turned into light in the depths of the venue just now, right! You must be here to save humanity..."
"Thump!!"
The wooden stick landed heavily on Zhang Wei's head. The previously excited Zhang Wei's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed, unable to finish his sentence.
Behind the unconscious Zhang Wei, a burly man holding a wooden stick revealed himself, looking embarrassed.
Noticing Chen Luo's puzzled gaze, he quickly put down the wooden stick and explained:
"No, I'm sorry, boss! Da Wei Ge and I are roommates! Da Wei Ge is a huge fan of Ultraman and got overly excited. I'll take him down!"
Chen Luo nodded. Right, this was a comic convention venue. Although there were some ordinary civilians hiding inside, most of them were related to anime and manga.
Chen Luo nodded: "Yes, you did well. Pull Zhang Wei aside to rest first."
"Okay, boss!" The burly man immediately bent down, grabbed Zhang Wei's feet, and dragged him aside.
Thump!
Chen Luo watched the unconscious Zhang Wei's head hit a roadside bench, his eye twitching.
Confirmed by the look in his eyes, this was Zhang Wei's own roommate.
After Zhang Wei's interruption, the atmosphere in the venue eased considerably, and Chen Luo's aura seemed less oppressive.
Chen Luo stood opposite everyone, calmly surveying their faces.
Most of them were young people, many still wearing strange costumes due to the daytime comic convention.
These people looked at Chen Luo with fervent eyes.
In the face of impending crisis, the strength Chen Luo displayed gave everyone hope for survival.
Furthermore, his actions of seizing control and then actively improving everyone's strength, rather than acting recklessly, earned him their trust.
Only the young ladies from the Priestess group looked at Chen Luo with a hint of resentment.
You're already the boss, when will you take a sister-in-law! We wouldn't mind a few more!
Chen Luo felt a slight confusion at the resentful gazes of the young ladies. Was it because the weather was too cold, and their hastily put-on clothes weren't warm enough, making these beautiful girls unhappy?
Thinking this, Chen Luo mused internally.
"Once this crisis is resolved, I need to find a large mall. I'll get a set of warm autumn pants for every young lady!"
After his strange thoughts concluded, Chen Luo looked at everyone and said solemnly:
"Because of me, the pressure we face tonight might be tens of thousands of times greater than that of other safe zones!"
Chen Luo's sudden serious statement left everyone bewildered.
Why would Chen Luo cause the safe zone's pressure to increase, and by tens of thousands of times?
Everyone listened to Chen Luo's words, looking at each other in confusion for a moment.
Seeing that no one questioned or cursed, but patiently waited for his explanation, Chen Luo's expression softened:
"The crisis is coming soon, and there's no time for a slow explanation. I just want to ask everyone, do you still recognize me as your boss?"
The somewhat bewildered crowd felt a bit lost by Chen Luo's sudden question, but just as Chen Luo had wanted to take leadership at the beginning, a clear and cold voice rang out:
"Boss! I, Su Xiao, only recognize Chen Luo as my boss!"
Chen Luo looked at Su Xiao, who had a cold and elegant aura, and a warm current flowed through him.
However, Chen Luo found it strange why Hu Tao was being pressed against by this long-legged girl again.
Hu Tao, struggling desperately, let out muffled sounds:
"He-help! Boss! Le-leave me!"
Chen Luo looked enviously at Hu Tao, buried in her ample chest. He didn't expect that a cold and elegant older sister like Su Xiao would like cute boys like Hu Tao?
Alas, how envious he was of Hu Tao being crushed by a "big truck"!
While Chen Luo's attention was diverted, the bewildered crowd heard Su Xiao's words and remembered everything Chen Luo had done since becoming the leader of the safe zone.
He didn't demand enjoyment, nor did he oppress others, nor did he treat others as expendable tools.
Under his instruction, ample supplies were distributed to everyone. But the logistics team knew that the boss himself hadn't asked for anything extra, not even an extra sausage, except for a cup of instant noodles.
Three hundred level 0 warriors were selflessly shared experience with by him. And these grown warriors, encouraged by Chen Luo, were invested in the activities of protecting everyone.
Without Chen Luo.
In the sudden blizzard, with everyone suddenly gaining extraordinary powers, facing enemies outside and a bunch of bare-legged girls inside, they couldn't imagine what the situation would be like.
Their bewildered gazes turned resolute, and firm voices sounded one after another from the crowd:
"Boss! Chen Luo will always be my boss!"
"Get lost, get lost! I've wanted to recognize Chen Luo as my boss since my past life!"
"Boss! I want to be your sister-in-law! I can do any pose! If you don't know how, you can teach me, I'm very smart!"
"Pah! You want to eat the boss? Choose me! I can cosplay any outfit you like! And I'll learn various poses myself!!"
"What's the use of self-learning? I know the splits! Can you?"
At first, the voices in the venue were relatively normal, and Chen Luo listened with pleasure.
But when the young ladies from the Priestess group spoke, the atmosphere suddenly changed.
Chen Luo, somewhat amused, couldn't help but lean in to listen. Chen Luo, who considered himself experienced, suddenly felt his face flush, and even the spell patterns flashing around him trembled slightly.
Oh, this, can the splits be used like this? I'm too pure, only knowing that twin ponytails increase attack speed!
After humbly listening to the "expert" ladies' knowledge competition, Chen Luo coughed heavily, and the venue immediately fell silent.
Everyone looked at Chen Luo with burning gazes, awaiting the words of the number one person in this safe zone.
Chen Luo looked at their trusting eyes, his mood becoming incredibly relaxed.
He took firm steps, walked through the crowd, and headed towards the darkness.
Facing the wolf pack whose malice was almost solidified, Chen Luo said softly:
"Tonight! Whoever is willing to bathe in blood with me! They are my brother!"
A tsunami-like response came from behind him:
"We are willing!!"
Chen Luo's lips curved into a slight smile, and he calmly looked at the endless darkness under the blood moon:
"Good! But eight million night wolves! Let's fight to our heart's content tonight!!!"
"Ah???"
