Chapter 20: These things aren't new.
"Let's go, let's hurry and find the crystal core!"
Yu Xiang clung to Qin Zhuo's clothes with both hands, her round eyes filled with eagerness.
Didn't we say we'd find her a crystal core?
Why hasn't Zhuozhuo started yet?
Qin Zhuo curled his lip and said, "We haven't even seen a zombie around here. Where are we going to find crystal cores? It's more reliable to find some supplies first."
Yu Xiang wrinkled her little nose and looked around with her little head.
I clearly saw a few of my kind wandering around on the bus before, but now they're all gone.
Qin Zhuo walked into a grain store. The store was in a mess, with shelves overturned and almost completely emptied.
Several corpses lay scattered on the ground, some were zombies, and some were humans.
Yuka stared at the corpses of her fellow zombies on the ground for a long while, as if she were thinking about something.
Will this have a crystal nucleus?
I want to eat it! (′﹃｀)
Qin Zhuo caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye and teased, "What's wrong with Little Youzi? You don't want to eat these corpses, do you?"
Yuxiang suddenly tugged at Qin Zhuo's sleeve, "Zhuozhuo, do you think they have crystal cores in their brains? Can you help me find them?"
Qin Zhuo, who was searching for something useful in the store, stopped what he was doing, turned to look at Youxiang, and asked, "Little Youxiang, I'm a little curious. You want to eat crystal cores, but you have to kill your own kind to get them. Don't you feel bad about it and be unable to do it?"
Yuka tilted her head and scratched her hair with her little hand. "But these zombies are all dead! And I only eat the cores of bad zombies. I would never eat zombie A, he's my little brother!"
"Now that you mention it, I suddenly miss them a bit. Actually, staying behind to be their leader back then wasn't so bad..."
Qin Zhuo's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. This little pomelo was actually thinking of leaving him to become the boss of the zombies.
His eyes darted around, and he immediately changed the subject, saying, "Why don't you mine the crystal cores yourself?"
Qin Zhuo was also pondering whether it was better for Youxiang to live with her own kind.
First, he genuinely didn't want Yuka to leave him;
Secondly, given Yuxiang's current dazed state, her zombie identity would have been exposed long ago if he hadn't been watching her. Such a unique zombie, once exposed, who knows how many people would be chasing after her;
Third, he didn't want Yuka to be assimilated by her own kind and become a zombie who only knew how to gnaw on blood.
Yuxiang's attention was indeed diverted. Her little face scrunched up, and she said with disgust, "That's too disgusting. Zhuozhuo, please help me instead."
Taking the opportunity, Qin Zhuo made a request, "From now on, you will do whatever I say, and I will help you."
"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say."
For the sake of that food, Yuka agreed without even thinking.
Although her little brain couldn't come up with anything.
Qin Zhuo squatted down, his legs slightly apart, and skillfully pulled out a dagger from his waist.
He worked swiftly, splitting open the zombie's head in just a few strokes.
A moment later, Qin Zhuo stood up and called out to Youxiang, "Little Youzi, wash the dagger clean."
Yuxiang was staring intently at the zombie's head, eagerly anticipating the appearance of the crystal core, when she heard Qin Zhuo's words. She froze, tilting her head to one side, "Where's the crystal core?"
Qin Zhuo spread his hands, shrugged, and said irritably, "No."
Upon hearing this, Youxiang glared angrily at Qin Zhuo, "How could there not be? Did Zhuozhuo hide it? You must be trying to keep it all for yourself!"
Qin Zhuo was amused by her appearance and reached out to poke Youxiang's little head. "Would I be greedy for this? You promised to be obedient, so quickly use your superpower to clean my dagger. Stop making wild guesses here."
Yuka reluctantly used her supernatural ability to clean the dagger, muttering to herself, "Why? Why isn't it there?"
Why is it so hard for the little zombie to eat a crystal core?
Looking at her pitiful appearance, Qin Zhuo sighed helplessly and patiently explained, "There are two possibilities. One is that these zombie corpses were already here before the Blood Moon, and they didn't have crystal cores before. The crystal cores only appeared after the Blood Moon."
"Secondly, these zombie corpses don't have any special abilities. Only zombies with special abilities have crystal cores. Little Yuzu, do you understand?"
Yu Xiang pondered Qin Zhuo's words.
After a while, she suddenly clenched her fists and said excitedly, "Understood! We need to kill zombies with superpowers to get crystal cores; these are nothing new."
Qin Zhuo remained silent.
I'm buying groceries at the supermarket! This is the first time I've heard of using "fresh" to describe zombies.
Finally, Qin Zhuo rummaged through the store and found a small bag of rice.
He straightened up, dusted himself off, and called out to Youxiang, "Little Youzi, put this bag of rice away. Let's leave here and go further in."
"Okay!" Yu Xiang's voice was full of excitement as she quickly put the rice into the game's inventory.
Finally, I can leave this place. This shop is terrible. Not only does it not have any crystal cores, but it doesn't even have a single pretty or nice item.
Qin Zhuo and Youxiang walked a little further into the street.
Suddenly, Yu Xiang, like a wild horse that had broken free, dashed into a shop.
Qin Zhuo was completely taken aback. By the time he came to his senses, Youxiang had already disappeared.
Wow, so many beautiful ones!
This is Cartier! I couldn't afford it when I was human, but now it's all hers!
Hoo hoo!
Yu Xiang clenched her fists excitedly, her eyes fixed on the jewelry in the shop window.
But how do you open this shop window?
Yuxiang tapped her little hand on the glass.
Qin Zhuo, with a dark expression, approached Youxiang from behind.
It turned out to be locked.
Yu Xiang was busy fiddling with the keyhole, completely unaware of Qin Zhuo behind her.
Qin Zhuo looked at her focused yet silly expression and his face darkened even more. He reached out and grabbed the little bun in Youxiang's hair.
"Um?"
Youxiang felt a headache coming on, then looked up and saw Qin Zhuo. She immediately said, "Zhuozhuo, help me unlock it."
Qin Zhuo pinched her little tuft of hair in annoyance, "You're so impolite! Go find some supplies first, these things are useless."
Yu Xiang pouted and said stubbornly, "I'm not leaving. The supplies you found are useless to me. I just like these."
Qin Zhuo raised an eyebrow and raised his voice, asking, "Are you leaving or not?"
To prevent Qin Zhuo from dragging her away, Youxiang clung to the shop window like a little gecko and shouted, "I'm not leaving!"
Qin Zhuo gave Youxiang a deep look.
Yu Xiang felt uneasy under his gaze, and her little hands unconsciously tugged at the hem of her clothes.
Are we going to have to fight zombies?
Strangely, Qin Zhuo didn't say a word and turned to walk towards the cashier.
Yuka looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Qin Zhu rummaged around at the cashier and finally found a set of keys.
He took the keys, walked up to Yuxiang, deliberately shook the keychain, and teased, "You little idiot, you didn't even know how to look for your keys."
Yuka grinned, "I'm not stupid."
Qin Zhuo pointed to the shop window, "Aren't you going to open it? You're lying up there, how am I supposed to open it!"
"oh oh."
Yuka finally realized what was happening, jumped down from the shop window, and obediently stood to the side.
