"Okay, I have faith in you. Be sure to tell me if you feel unwell." Song Tao nodded in satisfaction.
Sun Tao wiped the sweat from her forehead, simply tucked her shoulder-length hair behind her ears, and diligently dug out crystal cores from the horde of corpses with her steel dagger.
She stabbed him, blood splattering everywhere, but because she was too weak, the dagger only went in halfway.
As zombies continue to evolve, the bones of these mutated zombies become increasingly hard, making it a strenuous and difficult task for non-power-based ability users to mine crystal cores.
But Sun Tao was not afraid of hardship. She gritted her teeth and used all her strength to slowly break open the mutated zombie's skull.
But no one noticed that something was rapidly and silently approaching from the blood-soaked soil beneath her feet.
Sun Tao was completely focused on digging out the crystal core and didn't notice a small, dark shadow, about the length of a finger, darting quickly to her feet.
A few seconds later, the soil beneath her feet loosened slightly, and a fish that had just slipped through the net emerged from the mud.
It looked like a translucent earthworm, and it scurried up Sun Tao's military boots. While she was diligently digging for crystal cores, it slipped into her shoe.
In just a short moment, the black worm quickly bit through Sun Tao's instep and burrowed inside.
Sun Tao subconsciously scratched the outside of her boots with her hand, and the next second, her expression froze.
His once lively and alert gaze suddenly became dull.
"Xiao Tao, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Song Tao turned around and glanced at her, seemingly noticing that something was wrong with Sun Tao.
"Brother Song, I'm fine. I think I had a cramp just now."
Sun Tao suddenly smiled sweetly, "I'm too weak, I can't dig it up."
"It's okay, just leave it there, I'll dig it up." Song Tao's dark face flushed slightly as he said this with a hint of shyness.
"Brother Song, you're so kind. You always take such good care of me. I don't know how to repay you." She walked directly to Song Tao's side and gently leaned her soft body against his arm.
The girl's warm, soft body carried a fresh fragrance, and the close proximity quickly made Song Tao, who had been single since childhood, blush.
"Forget about repaying, taking care of you is what I, as the team leader, should do."
Song Tao chuckled sheepishly and deftly dug out the crystal core from the zombie at his feet.
Sun Tao leaned softly against his arm, gazing at him tenderly with her sideways eyes. Her originally energetic and refreshing smile had vanished, and her sweet features revealed an imperceptible contempt and eeriness.
"Captain, are you tired?"
Having never been in a relationship, Song Tao had very few opportunities to interact with girls. He didn't dare to respond to the girl's intense gaze and just focused on diligently mining crystal cores.
His dodge was exactly what Sun Tao wanted.
Sun Tao's eyes flickered, and suddenly a black hole the size of a coin appeared in his throat. A smooth, slender hand suddenly emerged from the black hole, heading straight for Song Tao's nape.
After the tentacles pierced Song Tao's body, they quickly began to contract and surge rhythmically.
Song Tao's expression also froze for a moment, then turned gloomy.
"Start your parasitism," Sun Tao said with a contemptuous smile.
"good."
Song Tao stood up like a walking corpse and slowly walked towards the crowd on the other side.
Sun Tao got up and chose another route, returning directly to his base within the safe zone.
After parasitizing, she can gain some of the host's basic memories, and at the same time, she also learns about human weaknesses.
Her beauty is her most powerful weapon, which she can use to easily approach human men.
At this moment, the outpost is at its busiest time of day, with many people actively exchanging supplies and carrying out their work.
"Xiao Tao, why did you come back by yourself? Where are the captain and the others?" A burly man looked at Sun Tao, who was swaying as she entered the base, with surprise.
"Brother Zhang, I feel so dizzy. Could you help me inside to rest for a bit?" Sun Tao asked, rubbing her forehead and biting her lip in a delicate manner.
She looks pitiful.
The burly man rushed over to help Sun Tao up and led her to the temporary prefabricated house inside. "Are you alright? Did you catch some miasma?"
"Brother Zhang, I'm feeling really unwell, can you stay and keep me company?" Sun Tiantian hooked her arm around the big man's neck and pleaded softly.
"Xiao Tao... what's wrong with you...?"
The burly man was visibly startled when he felt the soft, warm fragrance of the jade in his arms.
He had never experienced such advances before. Was it because the young girl lacked a sense of security and liked a strong man like him?
But he was more than ten years older than Sun Tao...
But then I thought, since it's already the end of the world, the most important thing is to enjoy life while we can, why should I care what others think?
So he happily put his arm around Sun Tao's waist.
