After Xu Xing finished everything, he and the others waited for Zhao Jie to recover.
Zhao Jie was also very helpful. Although his unstable body would greatly reduce the effectiveness of absorbing crystal cores, his state of extreme excitement made him the best key to break through the second level of the shackles.
Before long, Zhao Jie's expression of pain turned into excitement, and he stretched out his entire body.
From the outside, Zhao Jie's entire body appears to be turning red, which is actually due to an increase in body temperature. However, once his body adapts, it will return to its original state.
"Phew~ Boss, I advanced!"
Zhao Jie first clasped his hands in a fist salute to Xu Xing, and then tested his current strength.
A cluster of flames burst forth from Zhao Jie's fingertips, then quickly elongated and grew larger, resembling a flamethrower used by the army at first glance.
"Your strength is impressive. How is your physical condition after recovery?" Xu Xing asked with some concern.
After all, Zhao Jie was the key player in their squad for the upcoming cleanup, and they couldn't afford to lose him.
"I'm in my strongest state right now. If I were to face a punk rocker now, I could completely dominate him," Zhao Jie said confidently.
"Hey bro, how about we have a spar another day?"
Ye Kai stood to the side, twisting his neck left and right, making a cracking sound.
Zhao Jie was about to agree, but then the image of Ye Kai tearing the bald man apart flashed through his mind. After comparing it to the image, he realized that even three of him would be beaten down, let alone one-on-one.
Zhao Jie quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no, I want to live a couple more days."
Seeing the scene slowly deviating from its original direction, Xu Xing quickly interrupted, "Alright, alright, now that everything has been restored, let's proceed according to the original plan."
After Xu Xing finished speaking, he glanced at Su Xixi, then suddenly remembered something and quickly added, "Because our manpower is limited, we can skip over places that we consider dangerous without searching them."
As for other survivors or superhumans you encounter, bring them back if you can, but remember not to hesitate, or don't blame me if something goes wrong.
Keep your walkie-talkies on at all times. If anything unexpected happens, call me immediately.
As for supplies, you don't need to bother collecting them. After so many days in the apocalypse, what was going to rot has already rotted, and what's left will definitely be easy to preserve.
Once we clear out the zombies here, we can still organize more people to come back later.
Everyone listened attentively to these matters, especially Su Xixi, who imprinted Xu Xing's words firmly in her mind, not wanting to be a burden.
After Xu Xing finished speaking, the first to act was, unsurprisingly, Ye Kai. Seemingly eager to get started, he led Wang Lei and the others and quickly disappeared from sight.
Zhao Jie and his group followed closely behind, taking another route.
Only Su Xixi was still hesitating. After taking one last look at Xu Xing's unquestionable gaze, she left with her dog and the newly recovered Erhei and Dahei.
At this moment, only Xu Xing remained at the entrance of the property management office. He sighed, "It's still more convenient to be alone. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be the first one to arrive here to gather."
In the blink of an eye, Xu Xing's body soared into the air and swiftly flew towards the central few buildings.
Xu Xing's choice of the prime location was intentional. Generally, the prime locations are usually among the best-located buildings, and they also have the most residents.
More residents mean more zombies and greater risks, so it's better to let Xu Xing handle this personally.
Xu Xing, holding a steel knife in his hand, rushed downstairs and into the building without the slightest hesitation.
He violently stomped open the keypad door with his legs, sending the zombies hiding behind it flying backwards with the force.
Looking at the walking crystal cores in front of him, Xu Xing stretched his ankles and almost teleported to the side of the zombies.
He used his specially made old Beijing cloth shoes to kick the head of the zombie that was still struggling and screaming.
Then, like kicking a ball, he kicked the zombies that hadn't yet stood up one by one until they were smashed. The crystal cores that had just been thrown out were then drawn back into Xu Xing's hand.
A huge noise echoed around them. Xu Xing's expression hardened, and he grabbed the neck of a zombie that had run in from another place with his backhand, and with just a little force, he pulled it.
The howling that had been going on suddenly stopped.
"Too easy, not challenging at all!"
Xu Xing chuckled, pried the crystal core out of the zombie's forehead, and used his telekinesis to sweep away the stench that clung to his hands.
Xu Xing didn't waste any more time. He quickly walked to the door of a house, grabbed the doorknob, and forced the door open.
The interior was in complete disarray. Sunlight streamed in, revealing a female corpse on the sofa, holding a fruit knife and covered in mosquito and fly larvae.
Just then, three child zombies, each about 1.45 meters tall, rushed out of the bedroom, some male and some female. Their bodies had no wounds, only signs of decay.
It seems that the mother on the sofa couldn't bring herself to hurt her child even after the child turned into a zombie.
Xu Xing remained expressionless, drew the steel knife tucked behind his back, and flashed forward.
Pfft~
A flash of light.
The zombie, which was still tearing at Xu Xing, suddenly lunged forward, leaving a large, bowl-sized scar on its neck.
Xu Xing shook off the thick liquid clinging to the blade, then clenched his fist forward, and the crystal core automatically burst forth from his body.
After scanning around and finding nothing amiss, he turned and closed the half-broken door, then moved on to the next apartment.
The entire first floor was in a similar state, with most people living with their families, and no survivors were found.
During the cleanup, Xu Xing also discovered a funny scene.
The family on the far right is probably a newlywed couple. The windows around them are decorated with the character "囍" (double happiness), and even the wedding bed is a festive bright red.
It's understandable that young people are hot-blooded, but they're still doing things that are hard to talk about in the middle of the night.
However, halfway there, they encountered a zombie outbreak, and the most tragic scene unfolded: the man, still engaged in sexual activity, witnessed the entire process of his wife turning into a zombie.
This would be a huge psychological trauma for any normal person.
The man was even more outrageous; he was scared to death in his bed!
After dealing with his wife, Xu Xing noticed the somewhat decomposed corpse. Its mouth was wide open, its eyes were wide open in disbelief, and its whole body was intact, so he concluded that it had been scared to death.
Xu Xing gave him some face by using his telekinesis to move his wife to his side, then pulled out a red blanket and covered them with it.
"I suppose I've done a great deed," Xu Xing thought to himself, and left the room with satisfaction.
