Tang Wenjie held an orange-red crystal core as big as a grape and looked at it carefully in the dim light coming through the window. The light fell on the surface of the crystal core, creating a layer of flowing golden light.
After the commotion just now, Tang Wenjie and Qu Weiwei sealed all the windows in this two-story building tightly: first they simply sealed them with a layer of metal, leaving only a small gap for ventilation; then Qu Weiwei encouraged plant vines to grow to cover that small gap.
This way you will feel safe and not feel stuffy.
This crystal core was the one they had just dug out from the brain of the evolved zombie. Unlike the transparent crystal cores in the brains of ordinary zombies, this crystal core from an evolved zombie was not only larger in size, but also orange-red in color. Tang Wenjie initially thought it was because of the blood that had not been wiped clean, but it did not fade no matter how he washed it.
"This is really evolution... I wonder if the base officials know about this news." Tang Wenjie sighed. However, it is not surprising that there are evolved zombies in this place. After all, there is a mutant plant that helps the zombies capture humans like a ghost. The zombies here are probably better fed than those in other places.
The other people also looked around the corpse of the mutant zombie and said, "If there are more zombies like this, the situation of mankind will become even more difficult."
"Think about what level the highest-level psychic is currently. I don't know about other places, but there are already level eight psychics in the Rainbow City base. Why can't zombies evolve?"
God seems to be particularly fair in this regard. When zombies appeared in the world, humans had superpowers; superpowers could evolve, and zombies could not fall too far behind... It seemed that a wonderful "balance" had to be achieved.
Qu Weiwei squatted down somewhat frustratedly: "Why can't God favor us a little more?" She turned her head and saw Tang Wenjie still holding the crystal core and looking at it seriously, so she said: "Why don't you absorb it and see the effect?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the couple with superpowers also looked towards Tang Wenjie.
The rare orange-red crystal core seemed to contain more energy. Which psychic wouldn't want it? But this crystal core was brought by Shen Qing and his friends. As the hired party, he was not eligible to use it. He could only look at Tang Wenjie with envy.
Tang Wenjie also looked at Qu Weiwei: "Shouldn't you absorb it?"
Logically speaking, Qu Weiwei is the one with the highest ability in their team. Qu Weiwei shrugged and said, "But I think it will be more beneficial for our team's overall strength if you use it first."
She had to admit that although Tang Wenjie's ability level was two levels lower than hers, he was very strong thanks to the healing skills he received when he awakened his ability. If Tang Wenjie absorbed this crystal core to level up again, the strength of their team would be greatly improved!
Tang Wenjie thought for a moment and agreed with Qu Weiwei's opinion. However, he felt that this was a new species that he had never absorbed before, so it would be better to absorb it in a safe place: "Let's go back to the base first." If something went wrong again, he could still find a healing person to save his life.
Tang Wenjie reluctantly handed the crystal core to Song Kaiji. It was strange to say that he absorbed a lot of transparent crystal cores every day for cultivation, but no crystal core had ever attracted him so much. The orange-red background with a slight golden glow was simply a fatal attraction to him.
But Tang Wenjie has been through so much since the end of the world that he is now a very cautious person. The more this is the case, the more he dares not act rashly, and he can only severely restrain the attraction of the crystal core.
Song Kaiji thought for a long time, but there were still too many mysteries in his heart. In the past, he respected other people's privacy and never asked Shen Qing, but this time he couldn't bear it anymore. He wanted to ask but couldn't in front of a room full of people. After thinking for a long time, he moved closer to Shen Qing, pulled Shen Qing's hand apart, and planned to write on Shen Qing's palm to communicate.
How could Shen Qing know how to read? After his palm was scratched twice, he pulled his hand back, rubbed it on his pants awkwardly, and pulled Song Kaiji up: "Let's talk outside if you have anything to say."
"Going out again?" Tang Wenjie looked up at them. They were just planning to boil some hot water. They had enough food and drink, and they were bored, so they could find something to do. Secondly, it was cold, so it would be good to drink something hot to warm up the body. Tang Wenjie made an iron pot, Ge Bingbing put in ice cubes, and Sun Cheng started a fire. The three of them worked in perfect harmony. "Why do you two always go out? Can't you just stay in the house... What if you run into zombies again?" Although the windows had been sealed as much as possible, what if something unexpected happened when they were out?
The two people stopped where they were, awkwardly.
Qu Weiwei bumped into Tang Wenjie and said, "Drink some hot water." She then said to Shen Qing and Song Kaiji, "Don't go too far. Be careful around you. Don't get tricked by the mutant plants again."
Shen Qing nodded randomly and pushed Song Kaiji out. In the room, Tang Wenjie looked at Qu Weiwei in confusion: "Why did you bump into me? I'm doing this for their own good. This place is unfamiliar after all. What if we run into those evolved zombies again?"
Qu Weiwei was somewhat speechless: "Didn't you see that they...had that intention? They just escaped death, they have to speak their mind, how can they be embarrassed to speak in front of so many of us?"
"I know," Tang Wenjie still didn't quite understand: "...but I still think life is more important?"
This time it was Qu Weiwei who was surprised: "You knew? When did you guess it?"
Tang Wenjie stirred the hot water in the pot with his head down, his tone carrying a little secretive arrogance: "Do I need to guess? The third brother told me a long time ago."
However, Shen Qing and Song Kaiji obviously don't worry about their lives: one will not be attacked by zombies, and the other can teleport away at any time when facing zombies, without having to worry about the people around him being unable to escape.
Shen Qing and Song Kaiji strolled back to the stairwell. The broken glass window had long been blocked tightly by Tang Wenjie with an iron plate, but Shen Qing always suspected that the cunning mutant vine was still hiding behind it, ready to do something else at any time.
Song Kaiji hesitated for a long time before hesitatingly asking, "Am I right? The zombies won't attack you?" He then added in a low voice, "Don't fool me."
I'm very smart.
There's an inexplicable sense of being aggrieved.
Shen Qing was about to be amused by him again. Just now, when everyone was looking at the crystal core of the evolved zombies, Shen Qing was already thinking, if Song Kaiji asked, should he tell him the truth? - Song Kaiji had obviously discovered that he would not be attacked by zombies, so he would definitely ask.
Shen Qing thought about it for a long time, and finally felt that since there was someone who was willing to protect him at the critical moment of life and death and not abandon him and run away, there should be no harm even if he told him, right?
It can even be said that the premise of him pushing Song Kaiji away was that he knew he would not be attacked by zombies, which was far less sincere than Song Kaiji's towards him.
So Shen Qing nodded and admitted it readily: "That's right, but it seems that only zombies can do it, not mutated plants." He has not encountered mutated animals yet, and he is not sure about the principles behind it.
Song Kaiji took a deep breath. In fact, before the mutant vine appeared, he wanted to confess to Shen Qing: He and Qu Weiwei had the same idea. Now is the end of the world. If he doesn't confess today, what if he encounters misfortune tomorrow, won't he regret it for the rest of his life?
He was not sure whether Shen Qing would agree, but he wanted to say it out loud. If there was a little hope, it would be even better. If Shen Qing did not agree but did not reject him, it would be great to slowly nurture their relationship!
However, such a change happened.
If it was just a simple immunity to zombies, it would be fine, but Song Kaiji suddenly had an idea and became smart. He just sat in the corner and slowly pieced together every little bit of what happened after he met Shen Qing, and guessed a possibility that made him even more hopeless.
Song Kaiji sniffed and looked even more pitiful: "Shen Qing, I just wanted to tell you...I like you."
Shen Qing's eyes suddenly widened. He had imagined that Song Kaiji would have all sorts of questions and guesses after knowing that he would not be attacked by zombies, and he had also made various pre-set responses. But he didn't expect that Song Kaiji would say this?
He, he, he...why did he suddenly bring this up!
Shen Qing's ears turned red. As a young man, this was the first time a man confessed to him like this. It was too reckless. Who in their village would say such a thing so bluntly? Moreover, Shen Qing knew that when he first came to the end of the world, he had once referred to Song Kaiji's conditions and wanted to find a live-in son-in-law for himself. He also impulsively thought about bringing Song Kaiji to his own world.
Although it might not be the kind of love story played in TV dramas... Shen Qing had to admit that he had secretly thought about Song Kaiji, although it was only at the fantasy level.
"Why do you suddenly say such things?" Shen Qing grabbed the corner of his clothes, not knowing what to say.
However, Song Kaiji's expression was not like the excitement, shyness, or sweetness that a person who is confessing his feelings should have... but a kind of disappointment: "But I don't think I have any hope."
He raised his head and looked at Shen Qing, and whispered: "Maybe this guess sounds ridiculous... You are not from here, right?"
Shen Qing's heart trembled, his feet slipped, and he almost fell down the stairs. Song Kaiji quickly supported him and moved closer to look directly into Shen Qing's eyes:
"Shen Qing, you come from another world."
