Chapter 173 They’re Different
Timothy didn’t doubt the truthfulness of Cecelia’s words.
When he saw lvy completely drained after using all her ability to heal Oliver, he couldn’t help but sigh at how lucky they had been.
Even with a small–crystal level 4 mutated zombie like this one, Oliver had still ended up covered in injuries.
Not to mention the normal level 4 mutated zombies.
“Did Hendrick go to get the crystal?” Cecelia asked, glancing at Timothy.
He nodded. “Looks like it’ll take a little while before they get back.”
Cecelia nodded softly and wiped the level 4 mutated zombie crystal in her hand.
Earlier, she had used the crystal from the level 4 mutated beast to upgrade her space.
Oliver was already a level 4 ability user, so the crystal wouldn’t help him improve either.
So this crystal…
After thinking for a moment, she walked over to Ivy, who had just used up all her ability healing Oliver and was now replenishing her energy with a rat crystal Amber had given her. “Ivy, use this level 4 crystal to upgrade later.”
This…”
[vy paused, glanced at Oliver sitting nearby, and then looked back at Cecelia. “Wouldn’t it be better if you wo used it?”
‘We don’t need it right now. If we do, we should be using level 5 mutated zombie crystals.”
‘Alright…”
Ivy took a breath and tightened her grip on the crystal.
She did need to level up as soon as possible.
Just healing Oliver had drained all her ability. It made her feel like she still had a long way to go.
What if more people on the team got hurt in the future? Would she even be able to keep up with the healing?
She couldn’t help voicing those worries to Cecelia.
Cecelia smiled and comforted her. “Ivy, you’ll definitely manage. Oliver is a level 4 physical ability user. He’s basically our tank, so when he gets injured, it’s already serious. But even so, your level 3 healing ability was enough to fully heal him after using all your power. If you spread that out, saving everyone else’s life shouldn’t be a problem.”

To put it simply, Oliver wouldn’t have died even if he hadn’t been treated
Ivy had only used all her strength because she was worried about unexpected complications and wanted to heal their team’s strongest fighter first.
If multiple people needed treatment at the same time, she could simply divide her healing ability between them and make sure everyone stayed alive.
As long as they still had a breath left, further treatment wouldn’t be a big issue.
Cecelia added, “And once you reach level 4, things will be completely different. So don’t worry too much.”
‘Okay.”
vy nodded, finally relaxing a little. She smiled at her sister. “I’ll listen to you. I’ll start upgrading once we get back to the truck.”
Cecelia nodded.
Not far away, Ryan and Regina drove back in their vehicle.
When Ryan saw the corpse of the level 4 mutated zombie on the ground, his feelings were extremely complicated.
He knew Oliver was a level 4 physical ability user.
But he never imagined Oliver would be so strong that he could suppress a level 4 mutated zombie by
imself, and kill it in under ten minutes with Cecelia’s help.
That was the strength of a true powerhouse.
Then he looked back at their own team. They didn’t even have a single level 4 ability user yet.
t felt like Cecelia’s team had already left them far behind.
Even Regina couldn’t help sighing. “Cecelia and Oliver are really strong.”
Ryan glanced at her. “So you also think Cecelia shouldn’t have left our team?”
Huh?”
Regina looked confused by the question. “You’re still thinking about that? Timothy already said it before. Cecelia’s heart was never really in the team. She was always going to leave sooner or later.
And look at things now. In Cecelia’s team, she’s the one making the decisions. No one questions what she says. Everything follows her arrangements. But if she were still in our team, Timothy and Hendrick would probably question some of her ideas. That might actually slow down important decisions.
“In other words, Cecelia, Timothy, and Hendrick are the same type of person. They’re all suited to leading
a team.”
Ryan stood by the car, picking at a bit of peeling paint on the hood while frowning. “So that means there

can’t be two bosses in a team. Then how do Timothy and Hendrick manage to work together?”
“They’re different from Cecelia! Timothy and Hendrick have known each other since high school I heard they even shared a dorm all the way from high school through college. But Timothy enlisted during the second semester of his freshman year and only came back last year. At that time, Hendrick was working at a big corporation…”
It reminded Regina about the relationships within their group.
When Timothy finished his military service last year, he decided to start his own studio and posted a job listing.
She had happened to apply and was hired, so she technically worked for him.
She and Matthew had similar situations. They were both interns at Timothy’s studio.
Ryan too. Two months before the apocalypse, he had been recruited by Timothy to join the studio during his first semester of freshman year.
When the apocalypse began, their studio had just secured new sponsorship for a project. Timothy took them out to dinner and karaoke to celebrate.
Halfway through the night, they ran into Hendrick, who was entertaining clients from his company.
During the six months they had worked at Timothy’s studio, they had already seen Hendrick several times. Timothy had even said that Hendrick was the studio’s second boss.
After all, Hendrick had been the one who brought in their first investor.
So everyone celebrated together until late at night.
But just as they were about to head home, something felt wrong. Zombies suddenly appeared and began attacking people.
