That evening, Xiao Yu made an unexpected discovery in an electronics store.
"Is this... a solar charging panel?" He squatted down and carefully examined the device under the shelf. Although the outer shell was slightly damaged, the core components were intact.
[Ding! Modifiable item found: Solar charging device. Do you want to upgrade the system?]
Xiao Yu chose to strengthen it without hesitation. A flash of blue light appeared, and the ordinary solar panels became as thin as paper, with a metallic luster on the surface.
[Strengthen Success: Obtain Portable High-Efficiency Solar Charger x1]
At this moment, Xiao Yu's mental power sensed something unusual. He quickly hid behind the shelves and saw three fully armed men walking into the electronics store.
"Boss, it looks like this place has been searched." said a tall and thin man.
"Impossible! We're the first ones to arrive in this area." The bald man in the lead narrowed his eyes. "Looks like rats are stealing our food."
Xiao Yu held his breath. He could sense the dangerous aura emanating from these three people, especially the bald man, who gave him a strong sense of oppression.
"Come out, friend." The bald man suddenly turned in the direction where Xiao Yu was hiding, "I know you are there."
Xiao Yu's heart trembled. Just as he was about to show up, he heard the sound of dense footsteps outside. Through the broken glass window, he saw a dark mass of corpses pouring into the electronics city.
"Damn, it's a zombie tide!" the tall and thin man exclaimed.
The bald man's face changed: "Retreat!"
The three of them quickly retreated to the safe passage, while Xiao Yu took the opportunity to leave from the other side. He controlled several zombies to clear a path for him, while spreading his mental power to the maximum range.
[Warning: Level 2 zombie detected, host advised to evacuate immediately]
Xiao Yu's pupils shrank. He sensed an exceptionally powerful lifeform rapidly approaching. It was a gigantic zombie, covered in keratin, and its movement speed far surpassed that of an ordinary zombie.
";We need to find a safe place...";
Xiao Yu's eyes fell on an office building not far away. He remembered that there was an underground parking lot there, where he might be able to take shelter temporarily.
At that moment, a dark figure descended from the sky. Xiao Yu only had time to duck sideways, but a bloody scratch still remained on his shoulder. It was a mutant zombie with long limbs and nails as sharp as knives.
";roar!";
The mutant zombie pounced again, and Xiao Yu concentrated all his mental power, trying to control it. However, the mental power of this zombie was extremely strong, and his control could only last for a short moment.
At this moment, Xiao Yu seized the opportunity and stabbed it in the middle of its eyebrows.
[Ding! Absorbing the secondary crystal core, mental power +5]
[Congratulations to the host, your mental power has exceeded 100, and you have gained a new ability: Mental Shock]
Before Xiao Yu could even check his new abilities, he heard roars coming from afar. Not wanting to delay, he quickly ran towards the office building.
As he entered the underground parking lot, Xiao Yu looked back. On the dimly lit street, dense swarms of zombies were gathering, and among them, several unusually tall figures could be vaguely seen.
";It seems that this apocalypse is more dangerous than I imagined...";
The underground parking lot was pitch black, with only the faint green glow of the emergency lights.
Xiao Yu moved along the wall, his mental power spreading out like a spider web. He could sense a dozen zombies wandering around the parking lot, but what concerned him more was that something deep in the parking lot seemed to be attracting his mental power.
";What's there?";
He carefully avoided the zombies and moved in the direction he sensed. As the distance shortened, the attraction grew stronger, and he also felt a palpitation in his heart.
Suddenly, a sharp metallic friction sound came from behind. Xiao Yu turned around and saw a huge zombie tearing into a car. The zombie was covered with a thick layer of cuticle, and its arms were frighteningly thick.
"Level 3 zombie!" Xiao Yu's pupils constricted. He could sense the terrifying power of this zombie's mental field, far surpassing any enemy he had encountered before.
The zombie seemed to sense his presence, let out a deafening roar, and rushed towards him.
Xiao Yu immediately launched a mental attack, and his invisible mental force stabbed the zombie like a sharp blade. However, to his shock, the mental attack only made the zombie pause for a moment.
";Damn it!";
He turned and ran, while controlling the ordinary zombies in the parking lot to block the third-level zombies. However, these ordinary zombies were like paper in front of the third-level zombies and were easily torn to pieces.
Xiao Yu ran while observing his surroundings and suddenly noticed a tanker truck. A ruthless look flashed in his eyes, and he concentrated all his mental strength to control several zombies to pounce on the tanker truck's valve.
With a "click", the valve was opened and the pungent smell of gasoline instantly filled the air.
The third-level zombie had already caught up to him. Xiao Yu rolled to avoid its claws and took out a flare gun from the system space. He had found it in an outdoor goods store.
";Go to hell!";
The flare, trailing a red flame, shot towards the tanker truck. The moment it hit the gasoline, a huge fireball shot up into the sky. Xiao Yu was blown away by the shock wave and slammed heavily into the wall.
