Chapter 8 Obtaining the Zombie Crystal Core for the First Time

Shen Qianxun tiptoed to the stairs carefully, and suddenly heard a noise coming from behind a door not far away.

Listening to the sound, Shen Qianxun confirmed that there were zombies locked inside.

Without paying much attention, I continued walking down.

In this apocalypse, the most common thing is zombies, not just these few.

As for necessary supplies, they can be collected anywhere during this period.

She planned to find a safe place, then kill zombies and collect supplies.

Soon, we arrived at the lobby on the first floor, where waiters who had turned into zombies were walking in the corridor.

There were 4 zombies in total. Shen Qianxun moved very lightly and quickly dodged to the other side.

Now it is right in front of the hotel lobby. The glass door is locked tightly, and you can clearly see several wandering zombies outside the door.

Shen Qianxun planned to go out from the back door of the hotel. She just checked and found that there was a half-open door there. Through the large gap, she did not see any zombies outside.

Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly noticed a map hanging on a bracket next to the counter.

When I went forward to take a look, I saw that it was a detailed map of Country A.

It's a good thing, just right for her, an outsider who has never been far away.

Reach out and touch it, silently say "collect" in your mind, and the map and its bracket are completely put into the space, lying quietly in a corner of the space.

After putting away the bracket, I suddenly heard a sigh coming from behind the counter.

There was a foul smell in the air, and Shen Qianxun did not go forward to check, but quietly walked towards the back door.

After she left, a round head popped out from behind the counter.

This person is the hotel owner, and her employees have all turned into man-eating monsters.

She was hiding here alone, and now loneliness was greater than fear.

I just want to find a human companion, even if it's just to chat quietly.

She thought the figure she just saw was a human and wanted to attract the other party's attention, but the other party didn't notice her at all. It seemed that it was her zombie employee.

Just as I was about to retract the counter, I suddenly noticed that the map stand that was there this morning was gone.

That's 250 dollars.

After the biting incident, she immediately locked the door because she was worried that someone would take advantage of the chaos to buy things for free.

Just as he was about to close the back door, he discovered that his employee had transformed into a biting monster, so he quickly hid under the nearest counter.

Taking her things is more painful than cutting her flesh!

This damn bandit!

The other side.

After Shen Qianxun went out from the back door, he immediately entered a long and narrow alley, and the road was unobstructed.

Marshmallow lay quietly sleeping in the makeshift cat bag.

The zombie outbreak occurred around 7 a.m. yesterday morning. Since it was the weekend, most people had not yet gone out at this time.

After turning several times, the hotel was getting farther and farther away from her.

However, the moment she walked into the deep alley, she saw a white figure.

His hair is gray, but his figure is very straight.

The other person was holding a wooden sword in his hand and had his back to her.

Shen Qianxun gripped the machete tightly in his hand, not daring to relax for a moment.

The other person noticed her arrival and slowly turned around.

The originally numb face suddenly burst into excitement, and the face was distorted and horrible.

Holding the sword, he ran towards Shen Qianxun quickly.

He let out bursts of roars from his mouth.

“Ouch—”

Shen Qianxun immediately threw down the machete, and when the zombies were about to rush in front of her, she threw a thunder ball towards the opposite side.

It didn't hit the head, but hit the zombie's neck directly.

The zombie's head drooped, it stopped moving forward, and reached out to touch its head.

At this moment, Shen Qianxun threw another thunder ball, hitting the zombie’s head.

With a "bang".

The zombie fell to the ground and stopped moving.

Shen Qianxun patted his chest and said, “It was a close call. I was scared to death.”

Facing the oncoming zombies, her first reaction was to run quickly. The speed of these zombies was really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

She was a person who traveled through a book, not someone who was reborn after the zombie apocalypse. It would be difficult for her to chop zombies with a knife right after she arrived.

Considering that the strength of this body is too weak, I will have to collect fitness equipment and exercise for at least two hours every day.

After calming down, he picked up the machete and walked towards the fallen zombie.

At the beginning, not all zombies have crystal cores in their heads. The formation of crystal cores takes time. Most of the zombies with crystal cores in the early stage are the first batch of awakened zombies.

Some of them eat a lot of humans or their own kind, which intensifies the formation of crystal nuclei.

Shen Qianxun discovered that the zombie's body was intact, with no signs of bites on it. It looked like the first batch of naturally formed zombies, and it was more likely to have a crystal core.

Unlike Shen Qianxun’s excitement, Marshmallow, who had just witnessed the whole process out of curiosity, was now scared half to death and hid back in his backpack.

Oh my god, what was that just now?

I was scared to death.

Let the elder take a closer look.

So, Marshmallow poked his head out again and came face to face with a critical hit.

My eyes widened unconsciously.

It's so disgusting that the shit scooper in this house is actually interested in something that smells even worse than its shit.

At this moment, Shen Qianxun pinched his nose with one hand and held a spoon he had taken from the kitchen in the other, digging around in a pile of red and white sticky stuff.

Feeling the spoon hitting his brain, he suddenly smiled.

Soon, a diamond-shaped object the size of a soybean was dug out.

Shen Qianxun had a cat bag hanging around his neck, pinched his nose with his left hand, held a spoon in his right hand, and kept it away from him, running quickly to the corner of the wall in the distance.

Squat down and breathe deeply.

It stinks so badly, like the stench of pus and decay mixed with a few lumps of marshmallow poop.

In this hot summer, the taste is so good.

Shen Qianxun still couldn’t help it, she held her chest and leaned against the wall, retching, tears streaming down her face.

It took a while before he calmed down.

He took out the mineral water he had brought downstairs in the hotel and rinsed the crystal core repeatedly until the bottle of water was almost used up.

Pull out a piece of tissue and pick up the crystal core.

Shen Qianxun looked at the small crystal core and smiled with curved eyebrows.

The crystal core in her hand was milky white. As a psychic, she could already feel the energy emanating from the crystal core.

It is the size of a soybean. According to the description in the book, it should be a level 1 crystal core and has no attributes.

Zombies and mutants have crystal cores in their heads, as do mutated plants and animals. The attributeless crystal cores are milky white.

The fire element is red, the thunder element is purple, the wood element is green, the water element is blue, the wind element is cyan, the gold element is gold, the earth element is brown, and the ice element is light blue.

The space system is transparent. If a space system mutant is killed, the supplies in his space will explode.

Power-type and speed-type crystal cores are both black.

In addition, the spiritual crystal core is colorful, and the healing crystal core is pink.

It is more helpful for a psychic to improve his or her superpowers by absorbing crystal cores of the same series.

Moreover, the number of crystal cores required for each person to upgrade varies, and is also linked to the upgrade talent of the psychic.
