"It seems you're recovering well."

Throwing the red plastic bag aside, Shen Lanzhou handed Xu Yan a handful of crystal cores: "Absorb them to heal your wounds. Give the ones you can't absorb to the students who haven't leveled up yet. Let's get everyone to level 1 first."

Without anyone holding her back, she was very efficient in clearing out the zombies, easily collecting a large bag of crystal cores. However, the zombies in the vicinity had been mostly cleared out, so she had to move on.

Xu Yan refused, "This is your trophy. I can't have it. Besides, there's no point giving it to cowards who don't even have the courage to kill zombies. Even if they level up, they won't fight, and it will only waste the power of the crystal core. It's better to distribute it to everyone in the combat team so that we can better concentrate our strength."

Her words aroused a lot of hostility, and the students participating in the battle looked at the two with anticipation.

She said that on purpose.

Shen Lanzhou understood. "First, upgrade everyone to level 1. Right now, if they're touched by a zombie, they'll be infected and mutated, and they won't be able to fight. Later, it'll be a distribution based on work. Whoever kills the zombies gets the crystal core. As for you, Ah Yan, you must accept these crystal cores."

She looked around meaningfully and said, "Remember the online game we played? Everyone was leveling up, and if you slacked off, you'd be left behind. It was common to be looked down upon, bullied, or even killed by red-named players. You're injured now, and it'll slow down your 'leveling' progress. You must recover quickly. After all, there are more survivors in this world than just the high school students in our class."

"Then I will accept your kindness, Lan Zhou." Xu Yan gladly accepted the crystal core.

Shen Lanzhou approached Xu Yan and whispered in her ear, "I'll go to the city hospital today and be back before noon tomorrow. The zombies nearby have basically been cleared out. Please help me take care of Shi Meng."

"Are you crazy?" Xu Yan was incredulous. She lowered her voice and said quickly, "The city hospital is crowded, and there are so many zombies on the road. If you go there alone, won't you be delivering food to the zombies?"

Shen Lanzhou was very calm, not at all crazy: "I have already reached level 3. As long as I am not surrounded by zombies, I will be fine. Moreover, I have other trump cards. Ah Yan, you should know how much the upgrade strengthens the body. We need enough medicine to deal with possible subsequent situations, such as your current situation."

Illness and injury are enough to destroy a team. If Lu Shiqi didn't have an emergency medical kit at home, Xu Yan would still be bleeding and wailing.

What's more, her good friend Su Lian was still in the hospital. According to the trajectory of her previous life, she would not die, but would be hiding in a pharmacy with a group of doctors and nurses.

Friends, medical staff, and medicine, these three things are enough for Shen Lanzhou to take the risk.

In eight days, an unprecedented tsunami will flood low-lying cities, and everything will be gone.

"But you can wait until we're ready before going together. If you go alone, you won't have anyone to look after you if something happens."

"Are you sure you're taking care of me?"

"Well……"

Xu Yan sighed, "I understand, Miss Supergirl."

Shen Lanzhou looked melancholy. If possible, she would rather be Superman.

"Poetry Dream..."

Looking into his lover's gentle eyes, Shen Lanzhou felt a little guilty. He was going to leave her after only being together for one day.

"Yeah, I know. Be careful." Liang Shimeng hooked Shen Lanzhou's fingers. She had just heard the conversation between Shen Lanzhou and Xu Yan.

"Besides, I'm not a weakling and don't need anyone to take care of me." She stared at Shen Lanzhou seriously, "I'm very powerful."

"Yeah." Shen Lanzhou nodded: "Remember to stew the things in the bag and eat them. They are very nutritious."

After saying goodbye to his lover, friends and sister, Shen Lanzhou was about to leave.

Lu Shiqi stopped her with a complicated expression and handed her a set of keys: "I know you drove a Ferrari here, but the road conditions are definitely worse now. You can use this."

Shen Lanzhou looked at her in surprise and took the key: "Thank you."

"Also, thank you for saving Xu Yan."

"You like Ayan?" Shen Lanzhou was even more surprised.

"No, I'm straight." Lu Shiqi said sternly, "How did you know I liked her?!"

"I'm sorry, I spoke too much."

Liang Shimeng lay by the window on the second floor of the villa, silently watching the girl's back as she rode a modified motorcycle gradually away under the dark red sky.

"Shut up." Suddenly, the girl yelled nervously, "Don't tell me what to do!"

…

Shen Lanzhou rode a motorcycle on the road. In just one day, the originally neat streets became desolate and chaotic. Human skeletons were thrown casually on the roadside, and even the bone marrow was sucked clean.

Cars crowded the road, smoke rising from their battered and deformed hoods. Some of the cars were empty, some contained the remains of their owners, and some...

"ha!!!"

The owner of an Audi "enthusiastically" greeted Shen Lanzhou who was passing by, and then banged his head against the car window, leaving puddles of an unknown yellow and white liquid on the window.

Shen Lanzhou was disgusted, so she opened the car door in a friendly manner and used the sharp knife in her hand to have an intimate interaction with the car owner's brain.

After picking out the crystal core and shaking off the residue on it, Shen Lanzhou pocketed the spoils.

The first mutated zombies were level 0 zombies, weak and slow in movement. With the efficiency of a modern army, it was only a matter of time to clear out the zombies and restore order.

Unfortunately, the bloody rain that followed made peace and order a delusion.

Stronger infectiousness, more powerful strength, a myriad of bizarre mutations, and communications blocked by the blood rain have turned everyone into an island of despair.

Now, it's just the beginning, and the chaos is only temporary. In the near future, intelligent, advanced zombies, advanced mutant beasts more cunning than humans, and other monsters will appear one after another, and order will return to this land... an order that belongs to monsters.

In his previous life, the B-rank monster [Monk] that had traded one for one with Shen Lanzhou was a highly intelligent monster. However, within the monster order, it was only in the lower middle class, on the same level as a human working a nine-to-nine shift.

The system uses numbers to divide levels, and after the apocalypse, there has gradually been a unified division, according to F-level (0-10 levels), E-level (11-20 levels), D-level (21-30 levels), C-level (31-40 levels), B-level (41-50 levels), A-level (51-60 levels), S-level (61-70 levels), SS-level (71-80 levels), SSS-level (80-90 levels), as well as EX-level monsters that only exist in legends and madmen's ravings.
