"Sister Xue'er, you have one too? Are you also Brother Lei's woman?"
"Yes, Yuhe is also Brother Lei's woman. That's great, I'll have someone to keep me company from now on!"
"Alright, you two women, stay here. After I leave, lock the door shut and draw the curtains. Be careful of another radiation attack, or you'll turn into zombies!"
Before leaving, Ye Lei wanted to make things clear. He had finally completed the rescue mission and didn't want to give up halfway.
"No, Brother Lei, you go ahead. We can take care of ourselves."
"That would be perfect."
Ye Lei no longer wanted to get entangled with those two women; he just wanted to complete the task of collecting supplies and building a shelter as soon as possible.
He controlled the Ripper to guard the door, then went downstairs, got into the BMW, and sped away.
As he drove, he pondered that as the temperature of Earth rises, the ice and snow in the North and South Poles will melt, sea levels will rise, and Tomato City, as a coastal city, could very well be submerged by seawater.
If the refuge could be built at sea, that would naturally be the ideal choice.
However, at present, this is just wishful thinking. The most urgent task is to find a place with higher terrain to build a shelter.
Ye Lei suddenly remembered that there was a hill behind the school. If the shelter was built there, it would definitely not be flooded. And if they were lucky, it might even become a beautiful beach in the future!
After making up his mind, Ye Lei drove towards Tomato University. After the natural disaster, would there be any survivors in the school?
He didn't know, but he knew he had to find a safe place as soon as possible to plan for the future.
Halfway there, Ye Lei noticed a large number of zombies gathered on the side of the street. Opposite them was only one zombie, which was making a low growl.
Ye Lei stopped the car to observe and found a pile of fresh pork among them. It turned out that the conflict was over food.
Wow, this lone zombie is actually a female zombie!
Judging from her clothes, she seems to be a trained martial artist. I wonder what kind of martial art she studies?
The zombies quickly became restless. Relying on their numbers, they prepared to attack, with the one in front lunging forward first.
With a slight movement, the female zombie scurried away, and the zombie collapsed to the ground. Then, she stepped on his head, causing yellow fluid to splatter everywhere.
This piqued Ye Lei's interest greatly. It seemed this female zombie was quite clever, knowing how to dodge. Was this a sign of her human-like intelligence, or just her instinctive reaction? Ye Lei decided to observe further.
This time, two zombies rushed forward, one on each side. The female zombie did not retreat; instead, she swept her leg, and both zombies fell to the ground, writhing in agony.
This enraged all the zombies behind her, who all rushed forward. The female zombie didn't have time to step on the zombies; she raised her hands, ready to face the swarming zombies.
Soon, the female zombie was overwhelmed and gradually became unable to move. Ye Lei took a liking to the female zombie and decided to rescue her. He got out of the car and took out a Swiss Army knife.
He walked up behind the zombie and swung his blade down on its head. The poor zombie's head was instantly cleaved in two. After a brief pause, Ye Lei quickly dispatched the remaining zombies, leaving fragments of the corpses scattered all over the ground.
The female zombie was finally rescued, and Ye Lei was very satisfied with his performance. He felt like a hero who had saved the world.
This suddenly made the female zombie exclaim, "This is strange! Has another one come to steal my food?" She glanced over and saw that it was a human. This was a delicious meal delivered right to her doorstep! How could she miss it?
The female zombie felt no gratitude towards Ye Lei for taking care of her zombies. She tilted her head and looked at Ye Lei, seeing him as an easy feast.
Ye Lei wasn't in a hurry to control the female zombie. He needed to determine if the zombie still retained human intelligence. If so, he would have no choice but to kill her.
The female zombie only watched for less than a minute before charging towards Ye Lei. Her speed was obviously much faster than that of an ordinary zombie. However, in Ye Lei's eyes, it was just a slow-motion scene!
Ye Lei began to take control of the female zombie.
Just as the female zombie's fist was 0.1cm away from his head, the system's voice rang out.
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully bound yourself to a zombie.]
After the system notification, the female zombie stopped swinging her fist in the air and looked at Ye Lei with a confused expression.
[Please name the zombie for easier control.]
Since you're a martial arts expert, let's call you "Female Swordsman"!
[Zombie successfully named: Female Knight-Errant.]
As soon as the system finished speaking, the female knight raised her head and let out a roar, as if she had understood.
Ye Lei controlled the female knight to eat the pork on the ground. In the post-apocalyptic era, wasting food is the most shameful thing.
Suddenly, a beam of light reflected from the ground into Ye Lei's eyes. He looked closely and realized that it was coming from the head of the zombie that had just been split open.
Ye Lei carefully poked at it with his Swiss Army knife and found that it was a green, transparent, gem-like object, only the size of a corn kernel. Could this be the legendary zombie crystal core?
Ye Lei tore off a piece of rag, carefully picked it up, wiped off the yellow water, revealing a faint green color. The crystal core was crystal clear, just like an emerald.
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained one crystal core!]
A system voice came through, confirming it was indeed a crystal core.
Ye Lei opened the system and searched for the crystal core.
A crystal nucleus is a substance found on the forehead of a zombie's head. Its size and color vary depending on the strength and level of the zombie. The darker the color and the larger the crystal nucleus, the higher its quality.
The role of the crystal core is crucial. Once the body's attributes reach 500 points, a crystal core must be used to break through the limitations and achieve a qualitative leap in attributes. After breaking through, one can pursue the ultimate goal: immortality and eternal life.
In addition, crystal cores can be exchanged for points in the shop, which can be used to purchase more attribute points, special abilities, weapons and equipment to enhance survival capabilities in the apocalypse.
Crystal cores can also be used to enhance the attributes of the controlled zombies, enabling them to better assist the host in surviving in the apocalypse.
After hearing these explanations, Ye Lei realized how important the crystal core was. He had killed so many zombies before but hadn't taken it, which was a real waste.
Wow, digging out the crystal cores one by one from the zombies' heads is too much trouble! Let the female warrior do it; that would save a lot of trouble.
However, he needed to find her a tool first. How could a knight-errant be without a weapon? Ye Lei originally planned to give her a Swiss Army knife, but that would render him useless.
Finally, Ye Lei spent 300 points to redeem a dagger for the female swordsman in the store. She looked at the sharp dagger and nodded in satisfaction. This was truly like adding wings to a tiger!
Ye Lei controlled the female swordsman to use a dagger to collect the crystal cores of the dead zombies on the ground, and then respectfully presented them to Ye Lei with both hands.
Ye Lei took a look. These crystal cores were a light green color and the size of corn kernels. They were probably the lowest grade, but something was better than nothing. Every little bit counted.
