Chapter 308 Let's not have this kind of activity again.

Peng Lihui briefly recounted what had just happened.

Song Fei and his large group of helpers looked incredulous after hearing the story.

Song Fei scratched his hair, which hadn't been washed in ages, and looked bewildered as he checked again.

"You mean, after you two were arrested, those people almost raped both of you, including you, the man?"

Then came the zombie horde. These zombies could stand still because the little girl could control them. The zombies all obeyed the little girl.

Then these zombies killed that group of people, and the little girl spared you two?

Then, the little girl, leading a horde of zombies, carried away the only man who hadn't died—the very scene we witnessed when we arrived.

"You're practically naked now because those men ripped your clothes off and almost assaulted you?"

Peng Lihui nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, you heard right, that's exactly how it is."

The rescuers who came with them stared even more wide-eyed.

This is more than just bizarre; they've never even heard of it before!

"Men assaulting men is a common occurrence; after living in the apocalypse for so long, we've practically seen ghosts."

You're saying that little girl can control zombies? That's a bit too far-fetched. Zombies have no thoughts or intelligence, so how could they listen to humans?

This is the first time I've ever heard of a person being able to control zombies, and even precisely control a large group of them?

"You're incredibly lucky that the little girl who controlled the zombies didn't kill you!"

Peng Lihui remained cautious and didn't mention that Qin Nianshu had given him a lot of crystal cores.

It's better to keep things to yourself in front of outsiders, so as to avoid someone getting greedy and causing trouble.

Several thousand crystal cores is no small number.

He gave a wry smile, "Several times I almost thought I was really going to die, especially at the end, when that little girl stood in front of us, staring straight at us without saying a word."

I clearly saw the murderous intent in her eyes; at that moment, she truly wanted to kill both of us. I don't know why she didn't do it in the end.

Peng Lihui rubbed his face vigorously with both hands. He was still numb and hadn't recovered from the ups and downs and twists and turns he had just experienced.

Song Fei exclaimed in amazement, "What you two experienced is truly bizarre. How can a human control zombies? How did that little girl do it?"

I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.

This little girl, just like they perceived her, seemed strange, and her thought process was odd too.

At this moment, Tang Xiaoyu came out of the room. Her clothes were rather large and hung loosely on her body.

His face was pale with fright, yet tinged with an eerie blush, making him look somewhat disheveled.

She now has only one thought: "No matter what, it's good to be alive. This time I really escaped death. I will never meddle in other people's business again."

Peng Lihui nodded emphatically, "I was so scared today that my soul almost flew away. I don't care about anything else, just being alive is good enough, just being alive is good enough."

After saying that, he addressed the group of people who had come with Song Fei.

"Thank you so much for coming. If you ever need anything in the future, just let us know and we will definitely help you."

Tang Xiaoyu just said she would never meddle in other people's business again. These people were able to come to Song Fei's rescue in a time of crisis. They should remember this rare loyalty and repay it next time they have the chance.

In the apocalypse, true feelings are rare.

The group laughed and said, "It's good that you're all alright. Last time we were in danger, you came without hesitation, so of course we had to come and rescue you."

"It's not easy to live these days. If we help each other out, we can live a little longer. There's no need for formalities."

"By letting us know that we shouldn't offend little girls in the city, you've helped us avoid some risks."

After exchanging pleasantries, the group left.

Peng Lihui breathed a sigh of relief only after they had walked away. He then pulled Song Fei back into the room.

Tang Xiaoyu followed behind and carefully closed the door.

Song Fei was full of questions. "What are you two doing, sneaking around like that?"

Peng Lihui led him to a corner of the house, where several cloth bags were placed. Inside the bags were glittering crystal cores.

When Song Fei saw the bags of crystal cores, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. "How come there are so many? Where did they come from? There must be at least several thousand of them. How many days would it take us to kill zombies to get them? This has solved our immediate problem all at once."

Having a crystal core means having a power-enhancing fluid, and with the power-enhancing fluid, their strength can be increased.

They can go directly to kill level 2 zombies instead of slowly accumulating ordinary crystal cores in the suburbs to exchange for ability enhancement fluid.

This greatly increases their chances of passing the selection process.

How could anyone not be excited?

Song Fei's hands, holding the crystal core, trembled with excitement.

It feels like suddenly winning the lottery and becoming rich overnight.

Peng Lihui whispered, "You won't believe it, but that little girl gave it to us before she left."

Song Fei was both excited and bewildered. "What? You mean the little girl who almost killed you gave you thousands of crystal cores before she left? Really? Why would she give you crystal cores?"

Peng Lihui was also bewildered. "It's true that she wanted to kill us, and it's also true that she gave us so many crystal cores. I still don't understand what that little girl was thinking."

Tang Xiaoyu nodded, "Yes, let's talk about how she saved us. We almost died several times, and she just watched as those people assaulted us."

"She wanted to kill us, but she didn't, and she even gave us so many crystal cores. I really don't know what she was thinking."

Who would give away thousands of crystal cores to someone for no reason? Even a tycoon wouldn't be so extravagant.

These are thousands of crystal cores.

The three of them squatted together and thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, so they simply gave up trying.

Song Fei suggested, "Let's hurry up and buy the ability-enhancing fluid, and then hurry up and kill the level 2 zombies. I never thought that we, who are penniless, would have such an opportunity. Overtaking others is just around the corner."

The three of them are now brimming with confidence and have a better grasp of how well they will pass the selection process.

After a brief discussion, the three of them each took some crystal cores and ran back towards the Dawn Base.

Peng Lihui chuckled and said, "Although we were quite frightened, we got the crystal core. If there's another event like this next time, I'd like to participate again."

Tang Xiaoyu was speechless. "I don't want to participate anymore. Next time, I might really die. Forget about the crystal core, I might even lose my life."

These crystal cores didn't come for free; they were earned by the two of them risking their lives on the brink of death.

It was truly hard-won, practically earned with one's life; let's hope it doesn't happen again.
