Zhang Chen reached out and touched Gromos’s body.
It was slippery and soft, shedding a lot of blue and white energy sparks when touched, like dust from butterfly wings.
However, these sparks were energy and quickly disappeared after leaving its body.
“It’s time to give you a name…”
Zhang Chen looked at Gromos and thought for a while before saying, “I’ll call you… Little Soft…”
Little Soft gently wiggled its eight tentacles in mid-air as a response.
After all, even if it had intelligence now, it hadn’t learned any language or literature and wouldn’t understand whether the name was good or bad.
Having a name was enough!
Zhang Chen focused his attention on Little Soft, and soon, specific information about it appeared:
Race: Gromos
Name: Little Soft
Level: Demigod Level Creature, Current Mutation V
Skills:
[Space Walk]: Temporarily enter a parallel world, reappear in a safe location near the original world’s crossing point after a brief stay.
Upon leaving the original world, there is a very low chance of creating a new world.
[Spatial Tear]: Open a portal for travel within the same world, allowing oneself and teammates to perform long-distance spatial jumps.
[Crystal Gaze]: Maintain eye contact with a target for over 3 seconds to root them in place for 3 seconds. This effect increases with the difference in strength between Gromos and survivors.
[Energy Siphon]: Inject a large amount of surging, violent biological energy into the target’s energy core, causing it to overload and explode from within.
Similarly, Little Soft can also siphon targets’ energy into its own body or into parallel worlds.
During the siphoning process, there is a chance of generating a high-grade energy crystal core.
[Death Metamorphosis]: Each death will cause Gromos to be reborn directly, and its mutation level will increase by one, until it advances to its ultimate mutated form.
Note: Killing one’s own pet by the owner will significantly reduce its loyalty and increase the difficulty of future taming.
Zhang Chen briefly browsed through Little Soft’s skills.
Perhaps due to the mixed meteorite energy within its body, its skills had new changes compared to before, and some skills were even strengthened.
“Come!”
Zhang Chen beckoned to Little Soft.
The latter obediently floated over and slipped into Zhang Chen’s pocket.
[Notice! Due to a change in the level of the Gromos that caused this traversal, the remaining time in this space has changed.]
[Little Soft’s current level is Demigod · Mutation Type V creature, current world’s biological energy level is 1, remaining time 19 minutes and 27 seconds…]
Good heavens, all the trouble from before had almost consumed all the time.
As a result, after Little Soft upgraded to Demigod attributes, the remaining time had increased by more than double the previous amount!
Since there was still some time left, he should do something.
He wondered if he could bring supplies from the supermarket back to the apocalypse.
If so, he would never worry about food again.
Little Soft was like a cross-world delivery guy.
He should give it a try!
Zhang Chen stood at the edge of the rooftop, activated Absolute Vision, and began to peer through the buildings, looking for a larger supermarket.
Taking advantage of the zombie outbreak below, with the streets in chaos.
This was the perfect time for him to blend in and collect supplies.
In peacetime, if Zhang Chen couldn’t produce the currency of this world, it would have been a lot of trouble.
Now, he could just walk into any supermarket and shoplift.
Everyone was struggling to take care of themselves; who would pay attention to Zhang Chen?
Soon, Zhang Chen found a large supermarket on the first and second floors of a mall in an adjacent block.
“That’s the place!”
Swoosh!
Zhang Chen took off directly from the rooftop, hugging the building in front of him. Amidst the astonished gazes of the office workers inside, he circled around and flew directly through a second-floor window of the supermarket.
“Boss… do you believe in superheroes?”
The female secretary stood up from the boss’s lap, asking with a face full of surprise.
“I… I didn’t before, but I do now…”
The boss, with a face full of terror, stared in the direction Zhang Chen disappeared, muttering to himself.
Not long after, noises, screams, and wails began to echo from the hallway.
Soon, the office devolved into chaos…
After entering the supermarket, Zhang Chen shook off the dust and shattered glass from his body.
These sharp glass fragments, when they grazed his skin, did not cause him the slightest harm.
The energy contained in the buildings, glass, air, and everything else here was too low, so low that nothing could harm Zhang Chen.
Conversely, if Zhang Chen were to enter the third stage of the apocalypse, where gravity was stronger, and biological energy in the air and environment was also stronger.
Then, the same piece of shattered glass would cause completely different damage.
As soon as Zhang Chen entered the supermarket, without any pause, he immediately dashed towards the fresh food, seafood, and fruit sections.
With a flash, he arrived at the meat counter.
Several staff members were engrossed by the chaos outside the mall and the widespread news of cannibalism on their phones.
They gathered together, whispering about what was happening.
Some even no longer wanted to work and just wanted to rush home quickly.
Zhang Chen ignored whether anyone was watching and leaped over the counter.
He lightly touched the fresh meat with his left hand.
A large piece of meat was instantly collected into his ring.
Ding! You collected 20kg of Pork!
Ding! You collected 30kg of Pork with bones!
The meat counter sold different cuts like pork belly and pork shoulder.
But when stored in the ring, it was all just pork.
After collecting the meat on the counter, Zhang Chen began collecting meat from the freezer.
After pork, he collected beef and mutton, happily collecting them all!
At this moment, the staff members finally noticed Zhang Chen.
Then they looked at the counter and realized the meat was gone!
“Hey, what are you doing? Who let you behind the counter?!”
“Where’s the meat? Where did you put all the meat?”
Several butchers grabbed cleavers and boning knives, aggressively questioning Zhang Chen.
However, the latter didn’t even bother to acknowledge them.
He walked directly towards the group.
“You… don’t come any closer, or we won’t be polite!”
A hot-tempered strongman rolled up his sleeves and raised a cleaver.
In reality, he only intended to scare Zhang Chen. Having just watched news of cannibalism and now facing the strangely behaving Zhang Chen, their hair was standing on end from fear.
Wielding the cleaver was merely an act of instinctive self-protection.
Whoosh!
At the moment Zhang Chen was about to reach them, he suddenly disappeared.
The next second, he appeared directly behind them, continuing to collect meat.
“Ghost… a ghost!”
“A ghost from the underworld is here to eat people!”
People didn’t believe in ghosts and monsters before, but seeing Zhang Chen appear and disappear at will, they were already scared out of their wits.
Shrieking, they scrambled out of the area in a single flock.
After collecting the fresh meat, Zhang Chen flashed again, heading directly to the dairy section.
“Phew… It’s been a while, my fresh milk~”
