“I don’t have to eat so much in the future, my need for food has decreased greatly.”
Although this passive skill could not allow Zhou Chen to enter the level of not needing food, it was not far from it.
After confirming his gain, Zhou Chen looked at the locator and continued in the direction of Teresa.
“The distance hasn’t changed at all. Did they encounter an obstacle or have they found the target?” Zhou Chen realized that there was not much change in the location of Teresa.
Over the next few hundred meters of journey, Zhou Chen encountered some monsters, mainly monsters mutated from humans. This place was already close to the core area of the polluted area, and the number of these monsters had clearly increased.
He did not waste time on them. He only crippled them and left after escaping the entanglement. This was because he had killed many such monsters before, but no passive skill had dropped, making him categorize them as worthless monsters.
After a while, he entered a place that looked like a high-tech park. There were many tall buildings and factory buildings.
After entering a building, he finally saw Teresa and the robots.
At this moment, Teresa and the robots were fighting a young man in a cowboy suit in the hall. Through the Bloodthirst passive skill, Zhou Chen sensed that the young man’s vitality was quite strong.
“Teresa, don’t be stupid! We mutants are the future of the world. Those ordinary people will be eliminated in the end! What can you gain by running all around for them?” The young man said loudly to Teresa.
“Todd, I don’t need you to teach me how to do things. If you don’t want to return to the team, hurry up and leave this place. Don’t block my path,” Teresa replied expressionlessly.
“Hehe, Teresa, if not for your superpower’s potential and your good appearance, do you think I would waste time on you?”
“Don’t be so daft, Teresa! We mutants are the darling of this world! We’re born superior to those fragile people! We should rule this world and be worshiped by them! But look at you, you are acting as their pet and even lost the lives of two mutants!” He shouted angrily at Teresa.
However, Teresa ignored his words. Her expression was still cold.
“Todd, don’t disgust me with your arrogant thoughts! I’m not interested in your idea of ruling the world! I am doing this because I am willing! As for the deaths of Mark and Ludden, I’m deeply sorry! But this is unavoidable. Anyone can encounter accidents while exploring!”
“Hehe, you are stupid. You can’t see the essence of the world clearly. Such a good superpower is wasted on you!” Todd shook his head and turned to look at Zhou Chen. “Hello there. Since you can come this far, you must be a mutant. What do you think of my ideal? Are you willing to join my team and fight to become the rulers of this world?”
His eyes were looking at Zhou Chen with some enthusiasm.
“Not interested,” Zhou Chen immediately replied.
He was indeed not interested in such things. Instead of wasting his time on such things, he might as well use the time to train in the Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon Supreme Art.
“Hehe, another mediocre person. Or do you think that by supporting her like this, she will take a fancy to you?” Todd was clearly unhappy with Zhou Chen’s reply. At the same time, he seemed to have misunderstood.
“Let me tell you, she’s a lesbian! She’s only interested in women! No matter how much you try to please her, you can’t win her heart!” A mischievous smile appeared on Todd’s face as he spoke, as if he wanted to see Zhou Chen’s stunned expression.
However, Zhou Chen’s expression did not change at all after hearing his words.
What a joke. The reason why Zhou Chen chose to work with Teresa was because it was convenient for him to survive in this world. He had never thought about such nonsense.
“Todd, if you continue to talk nonsense, I won’t be polite.” Zhou Chen was expressionless, but anger showed on Teresa’s face.
“Nonsense? I’m talking nonsense? I’ve pursued you for three years! Three years! You didn’t even acknowledge anything! Instead, you’re with that woman every day! If you’re not a lesbian, who is?” Todd lost control of his emotions as he roared at Teresa.
Teresa was silent. Zhou Chen felt a little awkward for her. It was quite abnormal to expose someone’s private matters like this.
However, Todd’s roar continued in the hall, “Teresa! You broke my heart! But I have to thank you! Thank you for making me focus on my dreams! Just you wait! One day, I will become the ruler of this world and make you kneel before me!”
Todd spoke so agitatedly that his face was turning red, making the atmosphere in the hall feel even more awkward.
‘Is this the alternate world’s version of middle school syndrome?’
“Enough, Todd! I hereby declare that the exploration team will be closed to you forever! Don’t appear in my sight again!” Teresa was thoroughly incensed. She extended her hand and grabbed Todd with her ability, trying to throw him out the window.
However, there was a flash of lightning on Todd’s body as he broke free of her control and appeared beside a window.
“Teresa! Just you wait! I am also becoming stronger! One day, I will conquer you!” After saying this, lightning appeared on his body once again and he shot out from the window.
‘Impressive!’ Zhou Chen was surprised. When he saw Todd’s appearance, he had vaguely underestimated this young man with middle school syndrome. Unexpectedly, his superpower seemed to be quite good, not inferior to Teresa’s at all.
“His superpower is lightning?” Zhou Chen turned to look at Teresa and asked.
“Yeah,” Teresa’s expression was not too good, but she still nodded slightly in response.
‘Lightning superpower… I wonder if I can obtain a relevant passive skill by killing him.’ Zhou Chen did not care about Teresa’s condition. He began to think if he should go look for mutants to test his theory.
‘Well, I will leave it for the future. The Survival mission this time is quite long. I can’t offend these natives too early.’
Although he wanted to try, Zhou Chen decided to prioritize survival and not provoke too many enemies for the time being.
