Xu Xing distributed the 30 crystal cores as needed. He took 5 first-level crystal cores and the second-level crystal core for himself, and gave 10 first-level crystal cores to Ye Kai.
Even those who didn't contribute much, Susie and Adou each received 6. Susie's abilities are beyond doubt in the future; at this stage, she mainly needs to grow. As for Adou, it's up to him to make his mark.
After obtaining the crystal cores, the group began absorbing them on the spot. This time, the absorption rate was much slower than before. The more saturated the crystal cores were each day, the slower the absorption rate would decrease accordingly.
The secondary crystal core that Xu Xing obtained had more than five times the total energy of the primary crystal core, but its quality was far superior.
Absorbing knowledge beyond one's level, like Xu Xing did, can greatly accelerate the speed of advancing to the second level.
With all the crystal cores in hand used up, I've reached the peak of level one!
Xu Xing slowly looked at the other two. They had also finished absorbing the energy and entered the late stage of the first level. Even A Dou's body had grown quite a bit larger.
Xu Xing's next plan is to clean up the entire villa area and eliminate all threats.
Then they began to gather the survivors and implement strict management, first turning this area into their own territory.
Xu Xing's ideal has never been to rebuild order and save humanity, nor has he ever been a saintly person who wants to be a good person.
That being said, what does the end of the world have to do with me?
Xu Xing just wanted to live a comfortable, bourgeois life. With storage space, he was sure to be the most comfortable person in this world.
But this comes at a price. If you live better than others, the stronger ones will covet you every day and want to take everything from you. You can only gain everyone's trust by becoming stronger than them.
In his previous life, Xu Xing was killed by his enemies because his abilities were too weak in combat, and his power was also divided up by others.
So, having been reborn, Xu Xing had only one thought: it was only me who bullied others, not others who bullied me.
Xu Xing called everyone over, including the three girls from before, and gave each of them a kitchen knife.
"You have to come out with us today. This knife is for your self-defense. Don't worry, I'll handle any bigger dangers. You just need to help. Your life and death are up to fate, and your wealth and status are determined by heaven."
Xu Xing took several car keys from Su Xixi, which were parked in the garage, and handed them to the men. He told them, "Two or three of you in each car, follow behind us. Do whatever we tell you to do."
Xu Xing walked to the gate and took out the armored pickup truck from his spatial storage. He invited Ye Kai to sit in the passenger seat and arranged for Su Xixi and A Dou to sit in the back.
After the remaining group of people drove out in their cars, soon after, Bentleys, Rolls-Royces, and Mercedes-Benzes drove out smoothly, and the group of people sitting inside felt a sense of excitement.
Most of them might never be able to afford such a car in their entire lives, but now that the world is ending, they can choose any vehicle they want from the streets.
Xu Xing immediately deduced from their attire that these people were likely not from this area, but rather the lucky ones who had not been infected during the zombie outbreak.
Having fled all the way here, they probably came to knock on the door because they saw that Susie's house was the biggest and safest.
Xu Xing reminded everyone to fasten their seatbelts. Even the dog was securely fastened in the back seat. At this point, A Dou's size was the same as that of a normal adult, and he fit perfectly inside, though it looked a little out of place.
Xu Xing prepared to drive the car first and run over all the wandering zombies on the main roads of the area. He would then collect the crystal cores after the area was cleared.
If you encounter any survivors at this point, let the cars behind you deal with them, and then return to the central villa to complete the victory.
Xu Xing slowly started the car, its 400-horsepower engine roaring, attracting the wandering zombies in the vicinity.
"rush!"
Xu Xing stepped on the gas, and the car started up like a cheetah. The zombie a hundred meters away was sent flying into the air before it even had a chance to roar at its target.
There weren't many zombies on the roads in the villa area, probably because most of the residents here are wealthy and don't have the habit of going out at night. More importantly, no one works overtime until the early hours of the morning.
If the mutation occurs at home, given the current intelligence of zombies, without the instruction of a more advanced zombie, it would be extremely difficult for them to break through the wall of their own house in their entire lives.
Xu Xing wandered around for a while and only found a few young zombie couples dressed very scantily. Their fate was naturally extremely tragic; they were basically all dismembered.
It's worth noting that the total area here is over a thousand acres.
Thinking back to the 30 or so zombies he had killed, he figured they were the ones that had been wandering around here before, so Xu Xing stopped thinking about it.
Furthermore, he didn't find a single survivor along the way, which made Xu Xing wonder if there were any living people left in this community.
After completing a near-circle, Xu Xing got out of the car and called everyone to get out as well. He instructed the group to follow behind and find the survivors after the zombies were cleared out.
After all, there are quite a few families like Susie's with basements, so their survival rate should be quite high.
Xu Xing told Su Xixi to tell A Dou to sniff around for zombies and lead them there.
As soon as they arrived at the first house, Adou started barking wildly and leaped over the wall all by himself. Xu Xing and Ye Kai followed closely behind. With their current physical abilities, they could easily climb over such a wall without even needing any leverage.
Once inside the courtyard, Xu Xing saw the button to open the door and used his mind to force it open.
As soon as I entered the house's living room, I saw five zombies, four large and one small. The smaller zombie was probably the family's child who had been infected and turned into a zombie.
The two people and the dog launched their attacks separately, and before they could react, they had all been dealt with.
Adou lay prone on the ground, carefully sniffing the surroundings. Finding no threat, he barked twice at Xu Xing.
Following closely behind, Su Xixi covered her mouth and nose and whispered to Xu Xing, "There are no more zombies here."
Xu Xing immediately shifted his position and scouted the next building, assigning someone along the way to search for any survivors.
Xu Xing couldn't waste too much time. He needed to explore all the villas before dark, since the zombies would take over after that.
Xu Xing didn't even bother to retrieve the crystals, since there were no more zombies around.
The group of people following behind had no idea what this thing did. If an ordinary person ate it, at best they would be turned into an idiot by the enormous energy, and at worst they would explode and die.
With Adou leading the way, they could find zombies very quickly, and even accurately locate some that had mutated in the basement.
For Xu Xing and Ye Kai, level one zombies are merely practice targets; they can be killed instantly upon sight. In this environment, the chance of becoming a level two zombie is extremely slim.
