…

Inside the dean's office, Xu Mo was immersed in the information brought by his spider sense. His brows were slightly furrowed, and a trace of thought flashed in his eyes.

This giant zombie was taken down just like that. I thought it was so powerful. And that person actually ate the things that fell from the zombie's head. There was something... Sensing the situation not far away, Xu Mo felt a little surprised.

"Wait, that thing that fell out of that giant zombie's brain, couldn't it be some crystal or something like that?" This thought suddenly popped up in Xu Mo's mind. A hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

Crystals were a common sight in the apocalyptic zombie novels Xu Mo had read before his time travel. Regardless of the title, their effects were essentially the same: improving the user's physical fitness, awakening their special abilities, or both.

"But then again, this is a world of the walking dead. The appearance of crystals is a bit too far-fetched." Xu Mo shook his head helplessly, a wry smile on his face. He complained somewhat helplessly.

At first he only had to guard against the evolution of zombies, but now he has to guard against other evolved humans.

Most importantly, he hadn't expected the giant zombie to have a crystal in its head. If he had known, he would have had to kill the giant zombie first and get the crystal to study.

But if you think about it, the appearance of crystals is actually quite reasonable. Because of them, the zombies are evolving faster. Not only can they run at night, but even monsters like the giant zombies have appeared.

Xu Mo didn't believe that there was no "world's will" or "world's correction force" at work. As for the reason and purpose of the "world's will" or "world's correction force" at work, it was nothing more than to eliminate him as a heretic.

It is like a computer that was originally running normally, but suddenly a virus or abnormal file appears. This virus will prevent the computer from running normally according to its original track, so the antivirus software on the computer will try every means to remove it.

However, mindlessly strengthening the zombies is irrational. If the situation continues like this, it is possible that before this heretic is eliminated, all other humans in this world will die. This does not conform to the development laws of the original world.

Taking computers as an example, antivirus software obtains administrator privileges and, in order to eliminate viruses or abnormal files, deletes all software and important files in the computer without leaving a single one.

Therefore, this "will of the world" is bound to strengthen humanity. However, strengthening humanity wouldn't be possible by suddenly sending beams of white light descending from the horizon, instantly doubling everyone's physical attributes or even instantly awakening superpowers. Therefore, the more reasonable arrangement of having crystals exploding from the heads of special zombies was devised.

"Xu Mo, what's going on?" Magna asked, a curious look on her face as she saw Xu Mo come out of his state of perception.

It only took a dozen people to deal with the giant zombie.

"You're so powerful that you can get rid of the giant zombie?" Magna raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of surprise on her face.

"After all, we are just flesh and blood. It's unrealistic to expect to withstand the attack of heavy weapons." Xu Mo shook his head slightly, with a hint of matter-of-factness in his tone. He was not surprised.

"Let's leave quickly. There are quite a lot of them, and we will be at a disadvantage if we meet them." Xu Mo added.

He wouldn't get any points by killing these people, and the other side was large in number, well-equipped, and even had grenade launchers.

The electric shield is said to be able to withstand attacks from ordinary firearms and melee weapons. However, it is hard to say whether the electric shield can withstand explosive damage from grenade launchers.

He didn't want to use the electric shield to see if it could withstand the explosive damage from the grenade launcher.

If he can, it's fine. If he can't, then he's done, right?

"Okay." Magna naturally had no objection to what Xu Mo said. She nodded slightly and was about to walk out of the dean's room.

"Wait!" Xu Mo lowered his voice and whispered anxiously. He quickly reached out and pulled Magna back.

Through his spider sense, he had sensed that these people had reached the staircase on the third floor. Moreover, he keenly noticed that they seemed to be heading towards the dean's office where they were.

"How..." Magna looked at Xu Mo in confusion. Just as she was about to ask, Xu Mo covered her mouth with his hand.

"They're coming, just outside." Xu Mo leaned close to Magna's ear and whispered.

Magna nodded, and Xu Mo slowly removed his hand from Magna's mouth.

"What should we do next?" Magna asked softly, trying to remain calm, though there was still a hint of surprise in her tone.

Xu Mo glanced at the dean's office. It was a single room, without partitions or anything like that. A flicker of anxiety crossed his eyes, and he thought it would be difficult to hide.

There is no guarantee that those out there are peaceful, kind survivors.

Since we cannot confirm the other party's identity, we should treat them as enemies.

However, the enemy not only has a large number of people, but also has strong firepower, so it is not easy to deal with them.

This was the most difficult situation he had encountered since he traveled through time.
