The atmosphere became incredibly awkward.

Xu Qingluo and the muscular man stared at each other, their facial expressions quite interesting.

The muscular man stared at her blankly, and the others were also somewhat confused.

but.

You can tell what they want to express from their facial expressions:

We were ready to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?

Xu Qingluo's expression seemed to say: Look at my skinny arms and legs, can I withstand a shot from the other side?

Lin Mo was also speechless.

I didn't do anything, I didn't even say two words, and you just surrendered?

"What's the meaning?"

"What else could it mean? Didn't you see I brought everyone here?"

"Why?"

Xu Qingluo didn't answer the question. She glanced at the equipment on the table and suddenly asked, "By the way, does your neighborhood really have electricity?"

Look at her like this.

Lin Mo recalled the information he had obtained during his interrogation and couldn't help but have an outrageous thought pop into his head.

This guy.

In order to charge his phone and play games, he not only didn't run away, but also came to him to surrender.

Is this little girl a netizen addict?

Xu Qingluo knew what Lin Mo was thinking, but she wasn't that shallow; she had unspeakable bitterness in her heart.

In this chaotic apocalypse.

She didn't want to be the leader of a survivor group.

All I want is to be a girl who has no worries about food and clothing, doesn't have to worry about the threat of zombies, and can stay at home playing video games every day.

actually.

Her ability also has a hidden characteristic: in addition to providing temporary buffs to her subordinates, greatly enhancing their combat power.

If the number of increases is too high.

Through subtle influence, these people's bodies are cleansed by energy, and they can gain certain permanent benefits.

In other words...

Even without her boost, these subordinates are already far stronger than ordinary people.

In the battle against zombies.

Everyone developed strong mental fortitude and accumulated valuable experience and skills.

but.

Now, all the henchmen he's painstakingly trained have been lost in one fell swoop.

Deleting an account and starting over is too difficult!

The remaining people were all too afraid to face the zombies, and even with their own help, it was of no use.

The outside world is becoming increasingly dangerous, and there are even other threats to be faced.

in this case.

Xu Qingluo really didn't know what to do, so she simply gave up and surrendered.

Anyway.

With such strength, dealing with zombies should be no problem for them. Didn't you see the wreckage all over the commercial street?

As for that group of people...

They have guns too, so they should be able to hold them off. It's not certain whether those guys from the east will be able to find this place.

From now on, I don't need to worry about these trivial matters; I can just focus on being a support in the back row.

Most importantly.

There's electricity here!

.........

All right.

In the current situation, a fight is not possible.

Inside the security guard's room.

Xu Qingluo sat stiffly in the chair, her short legs barely touching the ground, looking somewhat nervous.

Lin Mo slowly opened his mouth and asked, "Tell me about your abilities."

"My awakened ability is called Rune Power. I now have mastered three amplification runes and four support runes."

As he spoke.

Xu Qingluo activated her supernatural power and stretched out her small hand. A special mark appeared in her palm, emitting a faint white light.

"Amplification runes include strength, speed, and nerve reflexes; support runes include healing, recovery, weakness, and dizziness."

"I can temporarily buff others with runes, or apply them to myself, and I can also take back these powers at any time."

It has so many abilities.

It not only has several ways to increase power, but also the support abilities of a healer, and even some control skills.

Obviously.

This little girl isn't just a simple support character; she has quite a few counter-measures at her disposal. No wonder she's become the leader of this group.

Lin Mo nodded slightly: "Quite a good ability."

Upon hearing this...

Xu Qingluo got a little angry and glared at her companions. If it weren't for these useless teammates...

Could she really have fallen to such a state?

The prisoners nearby noticed this gaze and all lowered their heads in shame.

"Was your superpower awakened through a crystal core?"

Crystal nucleus?

This thing can also help people awaken superpowers?

Xu Qingluo gently shook her head: "My special ability was awakened on its own, and it has nothing to do with the crystal core."

"But the strength of superpowers can be enhanced through crystal cores."

At first.

At the beginning of the zombie virus outbreak.

She suddenly developed a high fever and fainted, but she did not turn into a zombie.

After waking up.

He then awakened the special ability of "Rune Amplification".

However, initially there were only three basic amplification runes: "Strength," "Speed," and "Neural Reaction."

later.

By absorbing crystal cores to continuously enhance their abilities, not only does the amplification effect become stronger, but other runes are also unlocked.

.........

Regarding this result...

Lin Mo was slightly surprised.

He had assumed that this little girl, like Zheng Guang, had awakened her special abilities by consuming crystal cores.

result.

She's a truly lucky person, not someone like Zheng Guang who just got lucky. Her superpowers awakened when the apocalypse came.

It seems so.

Awakened individuals are further divided into two types: those who are born with it and those who are born with it.

Acquired individuals who awaken their abilities through consuming crystal cores are definitely inferior to those who are born with them in terms of potential.

At this moment.

Xu Qingluo asked with some curiosity, "Can crystal cores help people awaken supernatural abilities?"

"There is a certain probability that swallowing the crystal core will awaken superpowers, but the chance is too small. If you fail, you will be infected with the virus and turn into a zombie."

There's no point in hiding this.

Xu Qingluo nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this, and subconsciously glanced at her companion.

In that instant.

The prisoners had a bad feeling; would the boss use them as guinea pigs for experiments?

Don't say it.

She could actually do something like that.

Just when everyone was on edge.

Lin Mo picked up a green crystal core from the table, a move that terrified the prisoners present.

Xu Qingluo's expression became somewhat complicated.

She didn't intend to experiment on her companions, but this person seemed to have that idea in mind.

well.

They couldn't stop it themselves, so they could only hope for the best.

Lin Mo glanced indifferently at the others, then fixed his gaze on Xu Qingluo and said calmly:

"Would you mind demonstrating it to me?"

Xu Qingluo was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

How did this end up affecting her? Weren't we going to use other people as guinea pigs?

.........

Xu Qingluo had a strong premonition.

If I were to rashly consume the crystal core, not only would I be unable to awaken any new superpowers, but I would also be highly likely to be infected with the zombie virus.

no.

They hadn't offended this guy, yet they had voluntarily brought their men to surrender.

"I've already tested the crystal core."

"I'm not telling you to swallow the crystal core, I'm telling you to absorb its power."

Upon hearing this...

Xu Qingluo breathed a sigh of relief, took the crystal core from Lin Mo's hand, and activated her supernatural power by holding it in her hand.

soon.

A faint green light emanated from his palm, and the energy of the crystal core was instantly absorbed.

Open your hands again.

The green crystal core turned gray and became dull and lifeless after losing its energy.

Seeing this scene.

Lin Mo didn't say anything, he just nodded silently.

pity.

Although he also possesses supernatural powers, he is not a true Awakened One and cannot absorb crystal cores to enhance his strength.

Now there's one last question.

Lin Mo slowly asked, "What's the situation at Qingshan University?"

previously.

He had inquired about Aoyama University, but hadn't gone into any deeper understanding.

He always felt...

The zombies are undergoing some unknown change, and perhaps I can find the answer in these people.
