I wasn't thinking about anything

Dylan exhaled into her ear.

Alberta's ears tickled by Dylan's breath, her whole body feeling a bit

weak, and her ears turning red.

"Nothing... I wasn't thinking about anything!"

Alberta said with some breathlessness.

"Then let's go to sleep quickly! I'll check your throat again while I'm at it!"

Dylan said with a smile.

At the mention of "throat," Alberta trembled all over.

She was truly afraid, having experienced it yesterday.

She panicked a bit, saying, "Dylan, let's skip it tonight! Can we do it another day?"

Dylan, feeling reluctant, replied with a stern face, "How can we

postpone it? This is such an important matter that mustn't be delayed!

Come on, let's get it over with!"

With that, he lifted Alberta onto the bed.

Seeing Dylan about to take action, Alberta quickly waved her hand, saying, "Dylan, wait, I have something to tell you!"

"

Oh, whatever you have to say, say it after the check-up!"

Seeing Alberta's expression, Dylan grew impatient.

Just as Dylan was about to succeed, Alberta, feeling anxious, hastily spoke up, "Dylan, what if someone in the team likes another member?"

Dylan, stopped in his tracks by Alberta's question, was puzzled.

He couldn't understand what Alberta meant by that!

"What do you mean, Alberta?"

Dylan asked cautiously.

"Oh, nothing much, just asking what you would do."

Alberta said with a grin.

Seeing Alberta's playful expression, Dylan sensed trouble.

But in front of her, lying wouldn't work, she could hear everything, right?

"Well, as a member of the team, everything must be approved by me.

Everything should be for the benefit of the team! Besides, in this day and age, people's hearts are treacherous.

They might not find someone who truly cares for them.

 In any case, I must be the one to oversee it!"

Although Dylan didn't understand why Alberta suddenly asked this question, it still caught his attention.

Members he had carefully cultivated wouldn't be handed over to others easily.

Moreover, they were a group of beautiful women.

 It would be even more impossible to let others have them so easily.

It seemed he needed to think this over carefully.

Just as Dylan was worrying, Alberta suddenly said, "Alright, I got it!

Let's sleep!"

After saying that, Alberta lay down on the bed.She had just eavesdropped on Dylan's thoughts. She understood it now. Sure enough, men were not good creatures.

Jodie lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. There was always an indescribable scene in her mind, making her feel restless and irritable.

"Oh, I can't take it anymore! Dylan, you're such a rogue!"

...

The next morning, the snow outside was still falling. But everyone consciously got up early because they had to distribute supplies today. Of course, some people didn't sleep at all.

Jodie's eyes were bloodshot. Whenever she saw Dylan, she would avoid his gaze.

Dorothy prepared breakfast, and after everyone had eaten, Dylan took out the crystals he collected yesterday.

One 1-star crystal.

Ten 2-star crystals.

Two 3-star crystals.

One 4-star crystal.

"Here, each of you take a 2-star crystal first, and then quickly consume it. This way, your ability levels will all be raised to level 2."

Dylan pointed to the 2-star crystals and said to the women.

Dorothy picked up a 2-star crystal first and looked at it in front of her, saying, "It's so big, it's not easy to swallow!"

Indeed, the 2-star crystals were about the size of a walnut, too big to swallow in one go.

Hearing Dorothy's doubt, Dylan chuckled and said, "You don't have to swallow it like candy. Put it in your mouth first, let it melt, then swallow it!"

Upon hearing Dylan's explanation, the women understood. He had mentioned that they could eat the crystals, but not how to eat them.

"Did you wash them? Let us eat them!"

Jodie picked up a crystal, inspecting it carefully as she asked.

Dylan smiled as he looked at Jodie. This little girl always made suggestive remarks.

"They're already clean, hurry up and eat! After eating, we still have work to do!"

Prompted by Dylan, the five women had no choice but to open their mouths and put the crystals in. Because the crystals were quite large, their cheeks bulged out.

Each of them looked particularly cute. However, the crystals melted quickly, and soon their cheeks returned to normal.

Then, one by one, they swallowed the melted crystals.

Immediately after, they felt a warm flow entering their bodies, which felt particularly comfortable. They couldn't help but close their eyes and feel the changes in their abilities.

After a while, Dorothy was the first to open her eyes. She was filled with surprise, extending her right hand and attempting to release a lightning bolt.

*Zap!*A current the thickness of a rolling pin shot out, reaching a length of about 5 meters.

It was more than twice as strong as before.

"Dylan, look, is this electric current stronger than before?" Dorothy exclaimed happily to Dylan.

Dylan nodded in satisfaction.

Judging from Dorothy's previous display of the electric current, he estimated that it could instantly kill anyone with energy below a hundred years old.

Moreover, with a range of five meters, she could deliver a fatal blow to enemies who were caught off guard.

At this moment, Georgia also opened her eyes, equally delighted.

"My ability has upgraded. I feel like I can hit the bullseye within 500 meters."

Dylan smiled and nodded.

 Georgia was indeed a goddess of archery.

The higher her ability level, the farther and more accurate her shots would be.

Moreover, in the later stages, she could imbue her arrows with spiritual power, making them chase after targets like guided missiles.

Who wouldn't be terrified upon seeing that?

This was why Dylan insisted on recruiting Georgia.

In the future, whoever dared to offend him, even if they were far away, would face retribution!

Then, Kelly also opened her eyes.

 She smiled slightly and said, "There isn't much change, but I'll be able to heal wounds faster!"

Dylan nodded with a smile, "Don't underestimate the speed of healing.

Time is life! With your efficiency improved, the safety of our team members is greatly enhanced!"

Hearing Dylan's praise, Kelly felt extremely happy.

These past few days, while Dylan and the others were fighting zombies and mutants ahead, she couldn't contribute much.

She initially felt quite useless.

 However, hearing Dylan praise her like this, she suddenly felt a sense of being valued.

It seemed that she held a high position in his eyes!

While Kelly was secretly delighted, Alberta also opened her eyes.

Immediately, Dylan asked with concern, "How do you feel, Alberta?"

However, Alberta's face didn't show any joy.

 She simply said calmly, "There isn't much change.

I just feel like I can hear a bit more of people's thoughts than before."

Hearing Alberta's words, Dylan comforted her with a smile, "Is that not a change?

 Originally, you felt tired after listening a few times, but now being able to hear a bit more is quite impressive."

In fact, Dylan didn't quite understand this ability of eavesdropping on thoughts, also known as telepathy.

 Would he let others know if someone awakened this ability in the end times of his past life?

 Definitely not! This was their means of survival, so naturally, they wouldn't easily let others know.

Therefore, the outside world knew very little about this ability.

However, Dylan believed that this ability was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

As the level increased in the future, there would probably be unexpected changes.

Alberta nodded and didn't say anything more.

At this moment, everyone's gaze turned to Jodie, who still hadn't opened her eyes.

 Wasn't her ability upgraded yet? Why hadn't there been any movement for such a long time?

 Could it be that her ability underwent a significant change?

Everyone tacitly refrained from disturbing her, quietly waiting for her to open her eyes.

One minute... Five minutes... Ten minutes passed, and Jodie was still keeping her eyes shut.
