Chapter 115 Threat, Naked Threat

The storage room has rows of shelves with individual compartments, each labeled with a number and the seed name.

Meng Shiwan stepped forward and casually opened one of the compartments, revealing a small glass jar containing tiny seeds.

The jar also has detailed information about the seeds on it.

Please provide the name, genus, family, or seed type, as well as information on the growing environment and preferred climate.

Meng Shiwan glanced at the rows of densely packed storage compartments, with thousands of vines extending out to pull all the seeds inside into her space.

According to the regulations of the germplasm bank, the number of seeds stored for a single plant is generally between three and five thousand, and thousands of plant seeds are stored in this building.

Meng Shiwan's risky foray into this place has yielded considerable results.

Just as she finished collecting the floor and was about to go to the fourth floor, she suddenly felt a chill on her back, as if something was approaching.

She quickly turned her head and saw a zombie rapidly approaching her.

This zombie was wearing a suit and was thin, but unlike the ones outside that were wrinkled after being baked in high temperatures, its skin was very elastic and looked very alive.

Its skin and eyes had turned grayish-white, giving it a sinister look.

Its claws were long, and it was waving its right hand, reaching out to grab Meng Shiwan.

Fortunately, Meng Shiwan also possessed a speed-based ability, enabling her to capture its extremely fast movements. Upon seeing it, she dodged to the side and simultaneously condensed ice spikes to launch a sneak attack from behind the zombie king.

Everything happened in an instant. Meng Shiwan had just moved when the zombie king's claws were already at her, and she barely dodged them.

At the same time, the ice spikes swiftly struck the back of the zombie king's head.

The zombie king was very clever. Seeing that his attack on Meng Shiwan failed, he quickly changed his form, dodged the ice spikes, and disappeared into rows of cabinets.

Meng Shiwan was shocked, "How can this zombie king be so strong?"

In just one exchange, neither side suffered a loss, but neither side gained an advantage either.

Their strengths were actually quite even.

This puzzled Meng Shiwan greatly.

In the previous life, the Zombie King only appeared in the third year. Now, it's only been a little over a month since the apocalypse, so how could the Zombie King appear?

Furthermore, this zombie king's strength is comparable to hers.

Her strength was able to soar rapidly because of the existence of the system and the cheat-like artifact, the power-enhancing liquid.

What caused this zombie king to evolve so quickly?

Meng Shiwan always felt that this life she was reborn into was very different from her previous life.

Meng Qingyue's rebirth, under her influence, has led the base to prepare for future disasters early on, which can greatly reduce human casualties.

This is somewhat plausible, given the influence of those who have been reborn.

So what influenced the Zombie King to evolve to this level of strength in just over a month?

"Roar~"

A loud shout rang out from upstairs.

Immediately afterwards, the zombies gathered around the high-rise building seemed to have gone mad, rushing frantically into the building.

They ran, pushed, and bared their teeth and claws in a somewhat frenzied manner.

Some zombies crowded against the wall, frantically scratching at the zombies in front of them, trying to squeeze into the building.

Some zombies fell and were trampled by other zombies. One after another, they slowly piled up, forming a small mountain along the wall, and climbed upwards.

In a short time, the zombies had piled up to the height of the second floor, smashed open the second-floor windows, poured into the building, and then surged towards the third floor.

The four team members, who had just reached the second floor and were about to go up to the third floor, were shocked to see the horde of rampaging zombies.

Lei Zhe desperately unleashed his lightning-based supernatural abilities, asking, "What's going on? Why have these zombies suddenly gone berserk?"

Given his current strength, releasing his ability once can clear out zombies within a radius of dozens of meters, creating a brief vacuum zone that greatly facilitates their actions.

But now, these zombies, having gone mad, are running much faster than before.

He had barely released his power when the lightning subsided, and the next second, a new wave of zombies surged towards him.

It took the combined power of the four of them to barely keep the surrounding zombies away.

Qiu Zhiyi conjured a water shield, surrounding the four people to prevent any stragglers from escaping and harming them.

"That howl just now must have been made by the Zombie King. These zombies have gone berserk on the Zombie King's orders."

Zombies are not afraid of pain. No matter what attack hits them, as long as their heads are still intact, they can howl and get up to continue biting people.

Now that the zombies have gone berserk, their speed and attack power have increased dramatically, making them even more difficult to deal with.

The four of them initially thought that with their current strength, they could easily roam freely among ordinary zombie hordes.

The facts taught them that if they weren't careful today, they might have died here.

Tao Yarong gritted her teeth, "Quickly, go and meet up with my sister."

The four of them desperately unleashed their superpowers to fend off the rampaging zombies and rushed toward the third floor.

A relentless horde of zombies surged up behind them, determined to kill them.

"Sis, these zombies have gone mad."

As soon as they came up, they saw Meng Shiwan walking towards the stairs.

Meng Shiwan glanced at the crazed zombies behind them, then used her metal-based superpower to melt the metal cabinet next to her, solidifying it into a thick metal plate that blocked the stairs.

The zombies became even more enraged, frantically slamming into the metal plate, carving dents into it.

This metal plate probably won't last long.

Meng Shiwan said solemnly, "I fought the zombie king. It's very powerful. Be careful, stay close to me, and don't stray too far from me."

Even with Meng Shiwan's strength, she barely managed to dodge the zombie king's attack.

If the zombie king were to ambush them, the group might sense its presence, but they might not be able to evade the attack.

Anjiewen made a rational analysis, "Sister, should we retreat or not?"

Given the current situation, retreating is the safest option.

Meng Shiwan glanced at the metal plate that was being smashed by the rampaging zombies, "We can't retreat. There are hordes of rampaging zombies outside. It won't be easy to fight our way out. That zombie king might not let us leave safely. In that case, let's charge in."

She wanted to see what was so special about this building that could have evolved such a powerful zombie king.

The group quickly ran up to the fourth floor.

Meng Shiwan stopped collecting seeds from the storage warehouse and only killed zombies.

They cleared the building layer by layer, searching for the zombie king, and also observing whether there was anything amiss in the building.

"System, check how many crystal cores are in total in the five vehicles, including those in my space."

The system quickly provided the number: "A total of 637."

She had 250 crystals on hand as a backup, plus the crystals she collected along the way in several vehicles, which brought her to about that number.

"Give me four bottles of power-enhancing fluid and four bottles of power-restoring fluid. Don't raise the price. I'll kill that zombie king and use the crystal cores I get to pay you. If you raise the price, I'll hoard them and not give them to you."

system:……

A threat, a blatant threat.

But it's very good at business.

"make a deal."

Meng Shiwan now had eight liquid tubes in her hand.

She distributed four doses of ability-restoring fluid to her teammates, and drank all four doses of ability-enhancing fluid herself.

Today I'm going to fight that zombie king to the bitter end.
