On a street near the residential area.

Liu Shiman was followed by twenty or thirty people, most of whom were young, and each of them was holding a gun.

"so."

Lin Mo glanced indifferently at the crowd, then turned to Liu Shiman beside him and asked:

"These are the people you found in the villa area?"

After the banquet.

I randomly chose a teleportation point near the residential area, and unexpectedly ran into Liu Shiman on the way.

Judging by this situation...

She has found the batch of weapons she hid and is now probably preparing to lead a team out to clear out the zombies.

Lin Mo could sense that these people had no other thoughts in their minds, only a deep fear of Liu Shiman.

It's obvious.

Liu Shiman is indeed a capable woman; she has quickly assembled a team of competent people.

The only problem is...

The quality of this group is exceptionally high, with several awakened individuals among them, though it's unclear whether they possess superpowers.

but.

Back then, Liu Shiman didn't have a single person in the villa area, let alone any superhumans with extraordinary powers.

"no."

"The people in the villa area didn't have guns to clear out the zombies and couldn't stop the zombie horde from forming, so almost all of them died."

Liu Shiman slowly explained, "They are all people I recruited from other places."

"Besides them, another team has already gone out to clear out the zombies and should be on their way back now."

Is there another team?

Liu Shiman's team has twenty-five people, plus the team that has already been sent out.

no.

The Ziyuan community originally had about 20 or 30 original residents. Later, Xu Qingluo brought some people to join them, bringing the total to about 60 or 70 people.

Liu Shiman recruited fifty people at once, and these people were clearly not survivors from the community.

Where did she come from?

"Oh, right."

"I've collected nearly a thousand crystal cores in the past few days, but I'm almost out of ammunition, so it will be difficult to clear out the zombies later."

Although.

The team has several awakened individuals with decent abilities, but they haven't even mastered their special powers, so their combat strength is very limited.

Without the help of firearms.

From now on, they will only be able to find low-density, easy-to-bully low-level zombie groups, and the speed of collecting crystal cores will become extremely slow.

"The efficiency is good."

Lin Mo suddenly thought of something and looked at Liu Shiman, asking, "Have you absorbed the power of the crystal core?"

Liu Shiman nodded. "It has already been absorbed."

How are you feeling?

"The power level has increased slightly, but the effect is not particularly ideal."

If we say...

Liu Shiman's newly awakened strength level was F-. After the first absorption of the crystal core, her current strength can barely reach F.

"Approximately how many were absorbed the first time?"

"One hundred first-order white crystal cores."

At this point, Liu Shiman added, "Unfortunately, the crystal core cannot be absorbed indefinitely. The next time will probably be two months from now."

This is normal.

Lin Mo absorbed several thousand crystal cores for the first time, and even though so much time had passed, he still felt a bit "overwhelmed".

It's just like eating.

You definitely need to wait until your stomach is empty and you feel hungry before you can eat the next meal.

If you ignore it.

Overeating and frantically absorbing crystal cores will not only fail to improve one's superpower strength, but may also have the opposite effect.

After understanding the situation.

Lin Mo asked one last question: "Where did you get all these people from?"

but.

Instead of answering the question, Liu Shiman gave a strange suggestion.

"You'll understand once you come with me to the shopping street."

.........

Fifteen minutes later.

As soon as the group arrived at the commercial street, they were met by a squad of armed robots.

The team of armed robots was covered in blood, and two robots behind them were carrying a wooden box, indicating that they had just finished clearing out zombies.

After meeting Lin Mo.

Two armed robots ahead stopped, their eyes flashing red as they began to identify the target.

After a while.

The red light in the eyes of the two armed robots disappeared, and they looked at Lin Mo and called out, "Commander, hello."

Lin Mo nodded slightly upon hearing this.

The armed robot, having received no new instructions, continued to act according to the original commands, leading the team forward.

In the houses on both sides of the street.

Many people cautiously peeked out to observe the situation, and after sensing Lin Mo's gaze,

These people shrank back in fear.

Seeing this, Lin Mo slowly closed his eyes, spread his mental energy outward, and began to sense the surrounding situation.

"Around five hundred people."

"How can there be so many people... This is comparable to a medium-sized gathering place..."

I never expected this.

During my absence, the commercial street has undergone such a significant change.

"The armed robots cleared out the zombies within the first ring, and the other survivors, upon discovering them, all gathered around..."

Liu Shiman was somewhat surprised to hear this.

"Since you've already guessed it, I don't need to waste any more words explaining."

These people.

His feelings towards her were mostly curiosity, but his feelings towards Liu Shiman were more complex.

Anticipation, fear, panic, gratitude...

Looking at the survivors in the nearby buildings, Liu Shiman quietly said, "These people are relatively law-abiding."

In that instant.

Lin Mo seemed to sense something and slowly opened his eyes to look ahead.

Inside a convenience store.

A dirty little girl ran over and walked up to Liu Shiman, holding a blue crystal core in her hands.

"Sister Liu."

"I found this by chance while scavenging today. It's a nice little blue color, you know~"

Liu Shiman reached out and took the crystal core, patted the little girl's head, and praised her, "Yaoyao, you're really amazing."

How was your day?

The little girl looked disappointed upon hearing this, lowering her head and clutching the hem of her clothes with her small hands: "I couldn't run too far, I only found a bag of cookies."

Seeing this scene.

Lin Mo quietly said, "You're quite good at winning people over..."

Liu Shiman didn't explain, but instead introduced the little girl, "Yaoyao, do you remember Mr. Lin?"

The little girl nodded emphatically upon hearing this.

"I remember."

"Sister, you told everyone before that Mr. Lin drove away all the zombies. He's a great hero!"

Lin Mo's expression changed slightly.

But she quickly returned to normal, and looking at the little girl, she took the initiative to ask, "Yaoyao, how have you been here?"

"It's safe here!"

"You don't have to worry about being eaten by zombies when you sleep at night, and you can go out to find food with peace of mind. If you work hard, you can fill your stomach."

As they talked...

The little girl's stomach suddenly started growling, and she blushed with embarrassment, lowering her head shyly.

"I've just been having bad luck lately and haven't been able to find any food to fill my stomach. Looks like I'll have to go somewhere farther away."

"By the way, Sister Liu."

The little girl seemed to remember something, and looked up at Liu Shiman. "I heard everyone say that it seems like more zombies have come in from the east."

"It's alright, I'll take some people over there to handle it right away."

"Very good!"

"There's lots of food over there. Once you come back, I can go scavenging without worry."

"Sister, you go ahead with your work. Yao Yao won't bother you anymore."

The little girl turned to leave when she suddenly heard a voice behind her: "Wait a minute."

I saw it as soon as I turned around.

Lin Mo pulled a bottle of water out of his pocket, then a handful of biscuits and a few small bread rolls, and finally a handful of candy.

The little girl stared in utter disbelief, and couldn't help but murmur, "Brother...you...are you Doraemon?"

He handed over all the items.

The little girl looked at him with disbelief: "Are all of these... for me?"

Lin Mo nodded.

This moment.

The little girl seemed to realize something, staring blankly at Lin Mo, and suddenly asked:

"Brother, are you Mr. Lin?"

Lin Mo didn't answer the question, but simply reached out and patted her head.
