Chapter 311 Laughter is uglier than crying

Inside the industrial zone, Tang Xiaoyu, Peng Lihui, and Song Fei were diligently killing level-two zombies.

Even with their level 5 superpowers, they still struggled against hordes of level 2 zombies, so they had to be extremely careful when killing them.

They would typically guard a small street, blocking the back to prevent zombies from entering, and then confront the zombies head-on.

When the surrounding zombies gathered after hearing the commotion, the three of them faced increased pressure and were unable to fight them off.

Song Fei would then grab the two of them and fly away, moving to a street with fewer zombies to continue killing.

Just as Song Fei grabbed Tang Xiaoyu and Peng Lihui and took flight, flapping his wings, Tang Xiaoyu, with her sharp eyes, saw...

"Over there, on that street, there's a very tall zombie walking around. Isn't that strange? Even the tallest zombie can't be more than two meters tall."

Peng Lihui looked in the direction of the sound, and then looked closely. "It's not two meters tall at all. It's clearly Qin Nianshu perched on the zombie's shoulder. That little girl is back. Song Fei, fly in a different direction. Be careful not to run into her."

Upon hearing this, Song Fei turned and ran.

The three of them were really seeing things; how could they keep running into this strange little girl?

Unfortunately, the three of them flying overhead was too conspicuous, and Qin Nianshu had already seen them, directing the zombies to run towards them.

Qin Nianshu had the zombies surround and intercept her, and finally they arrived in front of the three of them.

Her expression was not good. "Why are you running away? Don't you want to play with me anymore?"

At this moment, the three people surrounded by level-two zombies turned pale.

Tang Xiaoyu forced a smile, "How could that be? We saw a snack shop next door and thought you would definitely like to eat there, so we came here specifically to look for it, but unfortunately we couldn't find it."

Qin Nianshu asked suspiciously, "Really?"

Tang Xiaoyu nodded, "Really, we're so lucky to have met so many times, of course I enjoy playing with you."

Qin Nianshu felt a little better. "Alright, then I'll help you find the crystal cores."

"No……"

Before Tang Xiaoyu could finish speaking, she saw the surrounding zombies suddenly move. They reached out and pierced the heads of the zombies next to them, pulling out the crystal cores inside. The zombies themselves, with their heads broken, collapsed limply and died.

The crystal nuclei fell to the ground as they fell.

The three of them shivered with fear once again.

This...this...

Those difficult level 2 zombies suddenly turned on each other, pulled out their crystal cores, and a large number of them died.

Qin Nianshu tilted her head. "What's wrong? Aren't you happy?"

The three of them were laughing in a way that looked more like they were crying.

"We're so happy, we're so happy!"

Then the three of them actually went to collect the crystal cores, showering each other with compliments.

Qin Nianshu seemed to enjoy listening to this.

Indeed, there are some really friendly people in this world.

For example, these three people in front of her seem to like her quite a bit; they're very good at praising people.

Shangguan City is bustling with activity now.

People came to Dawn Base to buy supplies, to hunt zombies in the city, to participate in selections—you could see people everywhere you went.

In this lively atmosphere, no matter who comes, they won't attract anyone's attention.

At this moment, a minivan was slowly driving on a main road.

Inside the car, a group of people with superpowers were discussing something.

"Chuangyuan Base is really strange. They sold so many Black Cubes to our Liexiong Base at such a low price, and then sent us to Shangguan City to look for that Black Cube?"

"It's definitely not just these. We just don't have the right to know about the others. But our mission this time is pretty good. It's just about finding the black cube, which is relatively simple."

"Easy? It's all over the internet. There are a lot of level 2 zombies in Shangguan City right now, so it's better to be careful."

"This Shangguan City is strange. How come the zombies have suddenly evolved? Do you think it might be related to the black cube we're looking for?"

"Who knows? We'll just have to look for it. But this thing is probably well hidden and not easy to find. The higher-ups said the black cube must be inside the city. In such a big city, where are we supposed to find something so small?"

"I'll just take my time looking. What else can I do? Stop the car, I need to pee."

We've been driving for a while now, and we're already inside Shangguan City. The further we go, the more zombies there will be.

Seven or eight superhumans got out of the car, stretched around, ate something to relax, but once they entered Shangguan City, they would have to be vigilant at all times, and things wouldn't be so easy.

Ma Chao, the captain in charge of the operation, casually found a corner to crawl into and urinate.

The temperature has now dropped to around minus ten degrees Celsius, and it's chilly everywhere.

He pulled up his pants and prepared to leave, when he caught a glimpse of a half-open cabinet door in the corner of the room. It was pitch black inside, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Ma Chao thought of the black cube, which also looked dark, and he walked forward as if possessed, slowly opened the cabinet door, squatted down and looked inside.

There was nothing inside except a layer of mold that had grown damp and carried a pungent, rotten smell.

Ma Chao stood up, somewhat amused. "I'm really thinking about the Black Cube so much that I'm going crazy. How could something so important be kept in some inconspicuous, dilapidated house in the suburbs?"

He chuckled to himself and walked outside. Just as he stepped out the door, he heard someone shout from the next room, "Found it! I found the black cube!"

Ma Chao's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately ran towards the direction of the sound.

When he rushed in, the other team members had already gone in to check the situation.

This is a toilet, the kind of old-fashioned squat toilet with a long, narrow drain that constantly flushes water into a septic tank next to it.

The excrement inside has now decomposed, and all that can be seen through the ditch is a pool of black sewage in the septic tank outside.

Ma Chao hurriedly asked, "Where? Where is the black cube?"

One of the team members pointed to the septic tank outside, "See that? There's a black corner on the edge, it looks a lot like black water. If I hadn't been looking at so many pictures of black cubes lately, I wouldn't have noticed it at all."

Ma Chao looked closely and saw a small, pointed thing on the black water, but he couldn't see it clearly.

It's not certain whether it's a black cube, but the curvature looks somewhat similar.

Whether it is or not, they still want to fish it out and take a look.

A group of people rushed to the septic tank outside and searched for suitable tools to retrieve the contents.

That thing was so heavy that it couldn't be retrieved at all. It was only by a wood-type ability user enduring the nausea that he managed to pull it out using vines.

When that thing is placed on the ground, its square shape is nothing short of a black cube.

Ma Chao poked at it with a stick, and the frosted number '2' appeared clearly in front of everyone.

It is definitely a black cube.
