Hiss hiss hiss.
A series of fine sounds suddenly exploded on Lu Sheng's scalp.
She suddenly looked up, her heart skipping a beat.
The dormitory supervisor, Aunt Liu, was actually lying on the ceiling!
Her body was at a bizarrely twisted angle, as if she were a four-legged crawler rapidly climbing the ceiling.
The lights were too dim, so Lu Sheng could only raise his hand and snap his fingers.
By the light of the flame at her fingertips, she could see that the ceiling was covered with spider webs of all sizes!
"Lu Sheng, it's so late and you're still not asleep. That's not being a good kid." The dormitory supervisor, hanging on a spider web, suddenly spit out a strand of spider silk as thick as a finger and shot it at Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng grabbed the spider silk with his backhand and pulled hard, forcefully dragging the dormitory supervisor off the spider web.
Upon landing, the dormitory supervisor emitted a piercing buzzing sound and immediately rushed over to attack Lu Sheng.
Zhuangzhuang let out a low growl, got up and pounced, knocking the dormitory supervisor to the ground.
The dormitory supervisor screamed and threw out a huge spider web, which tightly bound Zhuangzhuang inside.
Lu Sheng seized the opportunity and shot an arrow through the dormitory supervisor's head.
[Item Obtained: Spider Silk Armor]
[Items obtained: 2000 points]
[Bonus Reward: Tang Dynasty Sword]
[Bonus Reward: Two Basic Crystal Cores]
Lu Sheng picked up the Tang sword and admired it by the light.
The one-meter-long blade is thin yet strong, with a natural and smooth curve. The edge is as sharp as a mirror, gleaming with a cold light, and a faint whistling sound is heard when the blade is swung.
The swords that were scavenged from the department head were already considered top-quality, but compared to this Tang sword, they were as ordinary as scrap metal.
Satisfied, Lu Sheng gripped the Tang sword in his hand and used the same method to find the crystal core in the dormitory supervisor's brain. He discovered that this crystal core was actually pale yellow, and its size and luster were much better than the previous one.
"Reborn as Spider-Man?" Zhuangzhuang flapped his four claws, trying to tear off the spider silk stuck to his body.
Lu Sheng used the tip of his knife to lift the dormitory supervisor's clothes and discovered that her limbs were covered with hard thorns and her abdomen had insect-like horizontal stripes.
"She was parasitized by a mutated spider."
In the previous life, sporadic cases of plants and animals parasitizing humans only began to appear in the third year of the apocalypse. These hybrids of humans and animals were far more terrifying than traditional zombies or mutated plants and animals.
They possess both alien abilities and human thought processes; some high-level parasitic variants can even disguise themselves as ordinary people.
During their wanderings, Lu Sheng and Sun Tiantian heard stories of mutants disguising themselves as beautiful young women to lure superhumans into their territory and kill them.
The most terrifying thing about these mutants is that they can gain their power by consuming the flesh and blood of superhumans.
"We need to be more careful from now on," Lu Sheng said, patting Zhuangzhuang's head.
This trip was very fruitful; we obtained a total of four crystal cores.
Lu Sheng returned to 403 and searched the system for a long time before he learned that crystal cores were also divided into different grades.
The five-colored crystal cores are level one crystal cores, while the pale yellow crystal core that the dormitory supervisor got after being shot in the head is a level two crystal core. For ability users to improve their abilities, ten level one crystal cores are equivalent to one level two crystal core.
Taking out the essence extraction machine, Lu Sheng inserted one intermediate-grade serum and one basic-grade serum without hesitation, and finally poured in the intermediate-grade enhancement serum.
She has a spatial ability, superpowers, and the loyal Zhuangzhuang; there will be plenty of opportunities to collect level-two crystal cores in the future.
There is only one bottle of the enhancement serum, and she wants to do her best to improve its quality in order to help Sun Tiantian undergo a complete transformation.
Press the start button, and the essence extractor emits a low machine sound.
Bang.
A plume of yellow smoke rose, and a transparent test tube containing pink liquid appeared below the machine.
[Item Obtained: Advanced Enhancement Serum]
"After drinking it, your body will undergo a qualitative change and there is a chance to awaken superpowers. Strawberry flavor. Side effect: small chance of increased body hair."
After reading the system notification, Lu Sheng excitedly hugged Zhuangzhuang and gave him a big rub.
As long as she can successfully awaken her superpowers, she won't worry about Sun Tiantian being bullied in the apocalypse.
With a weight lifted from her heart, Lu Sheng took a satisfied shower, kicked Zhuangzhuang off the bed, and slept soundly.
The next morning, Lu Sheng got dressed early and went to knock on Xu Yi and Sun Tiantian's door.
First, it explained Zhuangzhuang's evolution. Such a big lump can't be hidden; it will be discovered sooner or later.
"Zhuangzhuang is so big now, should we go find something else?" Sun Tiantian asked, riding on Zhuangzhuang's back and rubbing his head.
Xiao Yu nodded. "Zhuangzhuang has always been a big eater, and now that he's grown so big, he'd eat a whole pig in one meal! The little bit of food we have stored up definitely won't be enough."
Zhuangzhuang: "..."
Who ate a whole pig in one meal?! It only ate a mere 20kg bag of cat food this morning!
The four of them unanimously agreed, and immediately got dressed and went downstairs.
Zhuangzhuang stayed behind to guard the house, while the four-person team set out together this time.
Before even reaching the parking spot, they could see several people gathered around Lu Sheng's pink Raptor, chattering amongst themselves.
Upon closer inspection, they discovered that these were the female students who had come to Xiao Yu to borrow water last time.
"Get out of the way."
Lu Sheng walked to the car door and gave Zhang Qi, who was leading the group, a cold glance.
“We’re waiting for you.” Zhang Qi put his hands on his hips and blocked the car door. “We need to talk about something. You don’t need any of the three cars, so lend us one. We’ll return it to you when we’re done.”
"No." Lu Sheng shoved Zhang Qi aside and nimbly climbed into the driver's seat.
Just as he was about to close the door, Zhang Qi reached out and blocked the doorway, shouting angrily, "I won't let go until you lend it to me!"
Lu Sheng scoffed coldly, grabbed the car door, and slammed it shut.
"ah!"
Zhang Qi acted quickly, pulling her hand back the instant the door closed. However, her right middle and index fingers were still pinched and bleeding.
Seeing that Lu Sheng wouldn't respond to force, the group changed their tactics.
"Senior Lu, if it's inconvenient to borrow a car, could you take us with you to look for supplies?" Zhang Qi forced a smile, clutching her bleeding right hand as she pleaded, "We promise not to cause trouble, we just want a ride."
"No, I won't bring it."
As Lu Sheng got into the car to leave, Zhang Qi quickly gave a wink to a girl next to him.
A girl ran a few steps and actually lay down five meters in front of Lu Sheng's car.
"Senior Lu, I'm recording the whole thing on my phone right now. If you don't help us find supplies, we'll have to run over her if we want to leave."
“Teacher Xu, as a teacher, you can’t just stand by and do nothing at a time like this, can you?” Zhang Qi said, pointing her phone at Xu Yi.
