187: I have finished speaking. Who is in favor and who is against?

Xia Qi and the others had just gotten up; although they were injured by the impact wave, they were First-Class Ability Users after all, and their body's recovery ability was far superior to ordinary people.

In the recent explosion, their reaction speed was extremely fast; they immediately ducked down, and their bodies were slowly recovering. The three of them ran towards Tian Ming.

Meanwhile, Tian Ming had already cut the Corpse King into pieces. A light blue Red Crystal Core emerged from the Corpse King's body. Xia Qi and the other two were overjoyed and quickly took out a container from their backpacks, ready to step forward.

But with a wave of Tian Ming's hand, the Red Crystal Core flew directly into his hand and was absorbed instantly.

The scene was extremely awkward, and Xia Qi and the others' expressions became very ugly.

"What are you doing? The Corpse King's Red Crystal Core is pure energy. Are you not afraid of dying by absorbing it directly?" Xia Qi said, displeased.

Tian Ming said calmly, "I've always absorbed it directly. If I were going to die, I would have died long ago." Tian Ming closed his eyes, spread his palm, and a pure Nitrogen Bomb condensed in his hand.

This scene stunned the three of them. Tian Ming, however, showed a hint of a smile on his face and murmured, "So that's how it is."

After absorbing the Nitrogen-enhanced Red Crystal Core, although Tian Ming's control range only increased by a few centimeters, he discovered that the bombs he condensed were not affected by the control range. This Nitrogen Bomb, after leaving his hand, slowly floated forward.

Even outside the control range, Tian Ming could still control the bomb's trajectory until, at 120 meters away, the Nitrogen Bomb suddenly exploded.

Boom, flames shot into the sky, and a small mushroom cloud rose. A shield formed around Tian Ming, and the impact wave hit the shield and dissipated.

Xia Qi and the other two, however, were directly knocked over by the impact wave's airflow. They were already injured, and now it happened again, causing them to immediately spit blood and collapse to the ground.

By absorbing the Nitrogen-enhanced Red Crystal Core, he gained ten times the control distance for Nitrogen Bombs. This means that if Tian Ming's control radius is 12 meters, then within a 120-meter radius after the Nitrogen Bomb is condensed, he can hit almost anywhere he aims.

Such a powerful elemental enhancement gave Tian Ming a strong new attack method. This kind of bomb only requires two shots to deal with Corpse Kings that are not body-enhanced, and it's practically an overwhelming victory against ordinary zombies, or even semi-evolved zombies.

Tian Ming was very satisfied. He began to look forward to what kind of Red Crystal Cores the remaining Corpse Kings would contribute.

Xia Qi and the others struggled to their feet, their bodies trembling slightly, with traces of blood at the corners of their mouths. Xia Qi stepped forward and said to Tian Ming, "Brother Lu, next time we kill a Corpse King, can you let us have the Red Crystal Core?"

Tian Ming turned his head, glanced at Xia Qi, and said coldly, "Why should I give it to you? I killed the Corpse King; you didn't do anything."

How could Tian Ming give away such a good thing as a Red Crystal Core, which he could absorb directly?

"We are partners. Not even a drop of soup? Is this the attitude of cooperation?" Xia Qi was a bit displeased. They indeed didn't exert much effort in killing the Corpse King, but they were the ones who found the Corpse King. This young man's behavior was so unseemly and very irritating.

Xia Qi felt unwilling but also knew Tian Ming's strength. He didn't want to fall out with Tian Ming over a Red Crystal Core. He took a deep breath, suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Brother Lu, in cooperation, resources should be shared. Without us, could you have found the Corpse King?"

Tian Ming frowned. What Xia Qi said was true; having them around indeed made finding Corpse Kings faster. He nodded and said in a deep voice, "Alright, since you are still useful, I will tolerate it for now."

......

Xia Qi and the others gritted their teeth in anger when they heard this, but they didn't dare to do anything to Tian Ming. From Tian Ming's battles with zombies, they had already seen that Tian Ming's strength far surpassed that of Superpower Users, almost an existence beyond their comprehension.

Perhaps the only thing limiting Tian Ming was his control range. If his control range reached several hundred meters, or even several kilometers, then Tian Ming would be almost like a god.

Xia Qi calmed his emotions and said, "Brother Lu, how should the subsequent Corpse King Red Crystal Cores be distributed? Our mission is to collect five Red Crystal Cores. If you don't agree to give up the Red Crystal Cores, I think our cooperation can end."

Tian Ming smiled faintly and said, "Five Red Crystal Cores, I can give them to you. But they must pass through my hands first, after I've inspected them."

Zhong Yun angrily said, "You mean you'll throw us the Red Crystal Cores you don't want? You, don't you think that's too much?"

"Is it too much? That Corpse King just now, that bomb, who among you could withstand it head-on?" Tian Ming said, and a Nitrogen Bomb appeared in his hand.

The three of them immediately tensed up, but no one dared to act rashly.

"What do you want to do?" Xia Qi asked, full of vigilance.

Tian Ming showed a faint smile on his face: "My bomb is the same as those condensed by zombies. I made a small one. If any of you can withstand it without dying, I'll let you choose the Red Crystal Cores you want. Otherwise, you'll take what I leave over. I've said my piece. Who agrees, who opposes?"

"You're going too far!" Xia Qi roared.

Tian Ming smiled calmly and said, "Without you, it's just a matter of spending more time, bombing building by building, leveling the entire city. I don't believe I can't find all the Corpse Kings."

Xia Qi was furious, but there was nothing he could do. Tian Ming's strength was immense; they were no match for him at all. He took a deep breath, nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Alright, we'll do as you say."

Tian Ming smiled calmly and put away the Nitrogen Bomb.

"Let's go. If there are no objections, then let's continue looking for Corpse Kings."

...

Over the next few days, Tian Ming and the others continued to search for Corpse Kings in the city.

And with Tian Ming's help, their speed in killing Corpse Kings increased significantly. After absorbing three Corpse King Red Crystal Cores, Tian Ming's control range had increased to 15 meters. Although this distance was still very short, Tian Ming's combat power had greatly improved.

After his control range increased to 15 meters, the Nitrogen Bombs he condensed were more powerful. The control range of these bombs also became a radius of 150 meters based on his original range. As long as a Corpse King appeared, it would be impossible for it to escape.

By the sixth day, Xia Qi and the other two finally obtained a Red Crystal Core with lower energy. Their container for storing Red Crystal Cores was a cup with a power source, like a large thermos.

Tian Ming directly took it and collected a sample. This Red Crystal Core storage device, after a Red Crystal Core is placed inside, forms a magnetic energy field. But it's not just a simple magnetic field; the Red Crystal Core's energy circulates within the energy field, thereby stabilizing it.
