After putting away the crystal core, Lu Sheng looked up in Xu Yi's direction.
“There might be other zombies around here. Let’s leave first.” Xu Yi’s face was pale as he took out his gold-rimmed glasses from his pocket and put them on.
He walked to the corpse of the abomination, took out a scalpel, and cut off a piece of flesh.
The meat seemed to have a life of its own, trembling as Xu Yi held it in his hand.
Xu Yi lowered his head and sniffed the flesh before stuffing the zombie chunks into the test tube.
"Teacher Xu, you can't eat this..."
Zhang Xiaojuan was covered in sweat, squatting down to wipe it away while looking at Xu Yi in surprise.
"I want to take it back and study it."
Xu Yi adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and a little color returned to his pale lips.
"Let's go back first. Don't forget there's a Tier 2 Predator in Hongcheng County."
Lu Sheng glanced at Xu Yi and had Zhuangzhuang stay by his side.
Two years after the apocalypse, there were indeed research institutes conducting studies on mutated zombies, aiming to find the patterns of mutation and apply these patterns to the base's armed forces.
Although many factions are experimenting in private, no one has made any breakthrough progress.
Does Xu Yi also want to use this method?
The group of people were all physically exhausted and helped each other walk out of the factory.
As we approached the reception hall, we saw Liang Xiaoyun limping and stumbling toward the processing workshop.
She somehow got two sections of PVC pipe and used the plastic pipe as a crutch, but she would gasp for breath in pain after taking just a few steps.
"Liang Xiaoyun!"
Li Song rushed over to support her, kicking two PVC pipes aside, saying, "Didn't I tell you to hide there properly?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? With such a commotion inside, wouldn't I have to go check on you?"
Despite wincing in pain, Liang Xiaoyun still managed to glare at Lu Sheng.
"Sister Xiaoyun, you're so badly injured, there's not much point in rushing over here," Xiaolin said to Liang Xiaoyun with a grin. "We still need to focus on protecting you."
Liang Xiaoyun glared at him fiercely, her words sharp and cutting, "I'll see you one last time and help you collect your corpses."
"Sister Xiaoyun has a sharp tongue but a soft heart."
Xiao Lin scratched his head and grinned sheepishly, then automatically squatted down, saying, "Sister Yun, don't be angry, I'll carry you on my back."
"Are you stupid? My hip has been ripped open. You're carrying me because you're afraid I'll heal faster?" Liang Xiaoyun raised her hand and punched Xiaolin on the shoulder.
Li Song was so annoyed by their noise that he simply picked Liang Xiaoyun up in a princess carry.
"Miss Lu, thank you for saving our Desert Eagle team today. I will return the crystal cores I owe you when I return to base."
Li Song, holding Liang Xiaoyun in one arm, stood up straight and solemnly saluted Lu Sheng.
Besides Liang Xiaoyun, the remaining three members of the Desert Eagle team also saluted Lu Sheng.
"No need for thanks, just give me more crystal cores."
Lu Sheng glanced at the group of people indifferently.
Desert Eagle Squad: "..."
She doesn't play by the rules; that's a bit hard to answer...
Zhuangzhuang shook his big head and muttered under his breath, "Lu Sheng, you've changed. You're too materialistic now."
Lu Sheng snorted and gave Zhuangzhuang a pat.
Anyone can say polite words, but only the actual crystal core in hand matters.
After a brief farewell, the Desert Eagle team members went to find their cars.
Lu Sheng and his group returned to the reception hall, found several boxes used for storing raw materials, packed the pile of fat and large mutated rabbits into the boxes, and took them away.
After loading the car, Xu Yi chose to return via the same route he had taken.
The zombies along the way had been mostly killed, and with a predator that had wandered off somewhere helping to clear the path, Lu Sheng and his group returned to the base at 8 p.m.
Before the bounty guild closed for the day, Lu Sheng went directly to the guild hall to turn in the quest.
This mission earned them a total of 25,000 points, which, combined with the more than 20,000 points from the previous mission, is enough for them to live a life of luxury and extravagance at the base.
Most importantly, the number of crystal cores collected from killing zombies along the way was several hundred, and the extra rewards in the terrestrial space were piled up like mountains.
Carrying the rabbit into the villa attracted envious glances from many people.
The animal meat at the base is all made with advanced technology and ruthless processes. Chickens are slaughtered in five days, and beef, mutton, and pork can be served in a month, tasting like tofu puffs.
Most of the animals outside are infected with the zombie virus, so occasionally encountering one that hasn't turned into a zombie is like winning the lottery.
But these people were carrying whole boxes of fat rabbits home! Isn't that tempting?
"This rabbit is fresh. Let's have roasted rabbit for dinner tonight. I'll cook."
After unloading the goods, Zhang Xiaojuan volunteered to continue.
"Great! I've never had roasted rabbit before!" Han Rui, full of energy, volunteered to be an assistant.
Lu Sheng had no objection; she was happy to eat what was readily available since someone was willing to cook for her.
A normal rabbit weighs only two or three pounds after its fur is removed, but the mutated meat rabbit weighs a full five pounds.
Zhang Xiaojuan marinated the skinned rabbit for half an hour, then set up a small oven in the yard and roasted it slowly over a low flame.
Grilled until half-cooked, then coated with a secret sauce, the rich aroma of meat wafts far and wide on the evening breeze.
The aroma of meat wafted through the air, making the mouths water.
"Delicious! I've never eaten such tender rabbit before!"
Han Rui grabbed a rabbit leg and took a bite of the meat, her mouth full of fragrant oil.
Lu Sheng secretly used an essence extractor to extract a large pot of crystal core solution, which he then mixed into the juice and shared with everyone.
Several people were enjoying a hearty meal around two large, fat rabbits when the doorbell suddenly rang.
"Hello, this is Xiao Sun from the property management. We have received complaints from residents about the safety hazards of outdoor barbecues on your premises."
When the door opened, a young boy of about eighteen or nineteen stood outside, his eyes shining with longing as he smelled the aroma of rabbit.
The little boy peeked into the villa and suddenly his gaze fell on Sun Tiantian.
He stared for more than ten seconds, then rushed into the room and hugged Sun Tiantian tightly.
Lu Sheng: "..."
Xiao Yu: "..."
It's hard now, its fist is hard.
"Sis! I've finally found you!"
The next second, the little boy cried out with tears in his eyes, instantly extinguishing Xiao Yu's anger.
Sun Tiantian was stunned for a moment, then pulled off the hat of the property manager, Xiao Sun, and examined him carefully for a long time before hesitatingly asking, "Sun Zhe?"
Property manager Xiao Sun nodded vigorously.
Now it was Lu Sheng's turn to be dumbfounded.
Sun Zhe is Sun Tiantian's cousin, and he just got into university in Beijing last year. Sun Tiantian once took her cousin and Lu Sheng out to eat together, and she clearly remembered Sun Zhe as a chubby little boy...
But the property manager, Xiao Sun, was as thin as a monkey...
"Sister...you have no idea how much I've suffered here."
With tears streaming down his face, Sun Zhe pitifully complained to Sun Tiantian, "I finally made it to Yunshan Base, but without any special abilities or crystal cores, I can't get in at all."
"Luckily, an auntie helped me pay the entrance fee. I've been living with her during this time, but..."
In just a few words, Lu Sheng and the others' CPUs were overheated.
The tortures of "rich woman's pleasure ball" and "rich woman's pleasure fire" popped into the minds of several people simultaneously.
