Upon hearing Huang Zhao's words, Qin Yi's eyes immediately flashed with murderous intent.

It was stated directly in the mental connection:

"Understood. I'll chase after them and kill them right now!"

But Huang Zhao stopped Qin Yi, who was about to get out of the car to chase after Director Xun and the other two, and said:

"Let's get out of here first, and don't let the other survivors from East China University of Political Science and Law find out that we're chasing after those three."

"So that they don't think we in Dawn City are forcing other survivors to join, or that we're suppressing them if they don't."

"Okay, whatever you say."

Huang Zhao and Qin Yi maneuvered the heavy truck to make a U-turn at the intersection ahead and headed towards the North Gate of East China University of Political Science and Law.

After leaving the school gate, they disappeared from the sight of the many survivors.

The heavy truck headed directly east, on the very road where Huang Zhao was chased by the mutant rat king on his way to the shelter the day after the apocalypse.

The ground, stretching for a kilometer, was still a crimson mess, a bloody and mangled expanse.

Seeing this, Qin Yi finally understood why heavy trucks look the way they do.

I felt a sense of admiration for Huang Zhao, even though he was driving a heavy truck at the time.

But not everyone can bravely move forward in the face of so many zombies!

After driving for about a kilometer, the heavy truck arrived at the gate leading to the administrative and teaching building area of ​​East China University of Political Science and Law.

"We got out of the car and went inside. This area hasn't been cleared of zombies yet."

Driving straight in would easily attract a large number of zombies; although I'm not afraid, it would still cause delays.

The two then parked the truck at the entrance, got out, and headed towards the direction where Director Xun and the others had left inside the East China University of Political Science and Law campus.

According to Huang Zhao's mental perception, there were not many zombies within a 120-meter radius.

When the apocalypse broke out, most students on the East China University of Political Science and Law had already finished their courses.

Most students were waiting in their dormitories for the school holiday notice, with only a small number of students still attending classes remaining in the teaching building.

Therefore, there weren't many zombies in the teaching area.

The two avoided the few zombies wandering around the campus, making it impossible for them to encounter Huang Zhao and his companion.

It feels really cool to see the whole map!

They scurried through the zombie-free land, avoiding the hordes of animals, and quickly made their way into the campus.

With the physique of a level three ability user, it only took Huang Zhao 5 minutes to run before Director Xun and the other two appeared in his mental perception range.

According to Huang Zhao's observation, the three of them were only level one ability users, and they were currently clearing out zombies floor by floor in an administrative building.

With a firm resolve, Huang Zhao led Qin Yi straight towards the direction where the three of them were.

In the empty campus, Director Xun spotted Huang Zhao and his companion rushing towards him from nearly a hundred meters away.

The full-body black armor was incredibly conspicuous under the sunlight!

Director Xun felt a chill run down his spine, wondering what Huang Zhao was planning to do by suddenly coming over. He quickly called the other two over.

Although the five people stood facing each other in front of the administration building, 20 meters apart, the atmosphere was tense.

"I wonder what brings you here, Mr. Chen?"

Are they trying to force us to join Dawn City?

Director Xun was nervous, but his face was stern yet he was weak as he asked.

Huang Zhao, however, had no intention of responding. He spoke to Qin Yi through their mental connection:

"Brother Yi, just kill all three of them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yi's tense body lunged forward, and he swung the sledgehammer in his hand hard at the head of the leader, Director Xun.

How long would it take a Level 3 flesh-based superhuman to cross a distance of 20 meters?

The answer is less than a second!

"Young man, you don't know how to fight..."

Before Director Xun could utter a complete sentence, his head was smashed by Qin Yi's heavy hammer, leaving him no time to react.

Looking at the two terrified people beside him, he swung the heavy hammer in his hand to the left while kicking out with his left foot.

The two screamed and flew three or four meters away, spitting out blood, clearly suffering severe internal injuries.

Qin Yi ignored their pleas for mercy and swiftly smashed their heads.

'That was really violent, but it was so satisfying to watch!'

According to my mental perception, some zombies upstairs had already heard the commotion and were rushing downstairs through the doors.

"Brother Yi, let's go. The zombies will clean up the scene."

Huang Zhao was still somewhat resistant to the idea of ​​not extracting the crystals from the three people's heads.

Although I have vaguely sensed a glimpse of the reality of this apocalypse, there are still some bottom lines I hold onto in my heart.

At this moment, Earth seemed to have been transformed into a breeding ground for venomous insects.

All survivors, zombies, mutated beasts, and even mutated plants are Gu worms within it.

Zombies evolve by eating people, while humans kill zombies and absorb crystals to advance in rank.

The more powerful a creature is, the more crystal energy it has absorbed.

This also means that the more beings paved the way with death, the more powerful the crystal energy becomes!

Absorbing the energy crystals that zombies obtain after eating people is essentially no different from people eating people!

This... is a sliver of reality in this apocalyptic world!

However, there is still a hurdle to overcome in directly extracting and absorbing the crystals from the human brain.

Having no shortage of three level-one energy crystals, Huang Zhao chose to give up and left.

......

After leaving the East China University of Political Science and Law campus, Huang Zhao sat in the driver's seat of the heavy truck.

Since the plan had been disrupted, Huang Zhao simply took out his phone and replanned the route for collecting supplies.

Then he said to Qin Yi:

"We are now in the southeast of Dawn City, so let's start from the east."

The nearest gas station is a Class A gas station, let's go!

Accompanied by the voice of "Unethical Map is guiding you", the heavy truck drove towards the nearest Longshi Petrochemical gas station.

Compared to when Huang Zhao passed by three days ago, there are now scattered zombies wandering around the highway.

This small number of zombies posed no obstacle to the heavy trucks and were easily crushed by the Chuangfei. Huang Zhao didn't even bother to get out of the truck to retrieve the zombie sauce.

We arrived at the gas station without any problems.

Qin Yi got off the heavy truck and smashed the heads of the dozen or so zombies that followed him, as well as the zombies that the gas station staff had turned into.

At this moment, the originally bright silver heavy hammer in Qin Yi's hand was stained dark red with dried corpse blood and human blood, making it look extremely ferocious.

Watching Qin Yi swing the heavy hammer with effortless ease, as if it were a toothpick, Huang Zhao, in the driver's seat, thought to himself:

This heavy hammer is no longer suitable for Qin Yi, who is at level three.

This would allow Qingfeng to forge a larger and stronger hammer.

We currently have a sufficient supply of level-three crystals, which can accelerate the training of members with special abilities.

Images of the rotten-hearted, metal-type Qingfeng and the poison-type Jiege flashed through my mind.

'There are still too few capable people under my command.'

Hopefully, the survivors found during today's search and rescue operation will bring them some surprises!

Attention shifts to the area of ​​mental perception at this moment.

The area within a 120-meter radius completely covers this large gas station.
