Looking at the gray crystal stone he had just dissected in his hand, Chen Yan still felt nauseous, but compared to the vomiting two hours ago, Chen Yan was now able to endure the discomfort brought by the nausea.
The reason why it grows so fast is obviously directly related to the environment of the end of the world.
Looking up, I saw a gray sky like smog, and the air around me was so pungent that it felt like it was burning my throat. The whole place was devastated and zombies were everywhere.
It is hard not to feel despair and depression when you are in this situation.
Oppressed by this negative emotion, Chen Yan could clearly feel the transformation happening to himself!
When he killed the first zombie with his own hands, his heartbeat would instantly accelerate, his palms would sweat coldly, his scalp would feel numb, and a large amount of adrenaline would be secreted.
But then he killed the second zombie, the third zombie... until he killed the fifth zombie. Then, the extremely tense and excited state began to ease significantly as more and more zombies were killed!
So what if it's bloody? So what if it's terrifying? Killing and killing, you get used to it...
"Very good. Remember your current mindset. When dealing with zombies and mutants, the most important thing is to stay calm. Fight if you can, but run if you can't! A calm mind allows you to make accurate judgments, and when faced with danger, the correctness of your judgment can often mean the difference between life and death."
While Qin Yourong was speaking, he took the crystal from Chen Yan's hand and put it into the bag used to hold crystals.
Then he pointed forward and said, "Look, we've reached the nearest survivor camp. Be sure to follow me closely once you get in! In the apocalypse, zombies and mutants are very dangerous, but for many survivors, their own kind... are often much more dangerous!"
Chen Yan looked in the direction Qin Yourong pointed, and found that a few hundred meters away, a gathering camp that looked to be definitely not small in scale appeared in his sight.
The large number of huts makes the camp look quite dirty and messy overall.
However, in the very center of the camp, there are several three- or four-story factory buildings. They stand out from the crowd because they are surrounded by low sheds.
There was no wall, not even a symbolic wire fence, but some rather crude traps could be seen around the outskirts of the camp.
"Before the Cataclysm, this place was a forgotten, undeveloped area. Although it connects the city center and the nearest district, due to historical issues, it is the most desolate urban-rural fringe area for both the city center to the south and the district to the north.
When the Cataclysm struck, the population density here was extremely low, resulting in a low number of zombies and mutants. As the survivors gradually discovered the relative safety of this area, they began to establish a camp, which remains to this day. Many survivors from the surrounding area have since moved in, making this area much larger.
Qin Yourong briefly introduced the basic situation of the camp and took Chen Yan to the shantytown area at the outermost edge of the camp.
Chen Yan clearly saw that those deep pit traps that had only been simply treated were densely packed around the camp.
Unless there is a large-scale zombie wave, these traps should be enough to withstand ordinary zombie threats.
Of course, the premise is that the level of the zombies cannot be too high.
This crude trap wouldn't even be enough to deal with a level 2 zombie...
As Qin Yourong and Chen Yan approached, some half-naked, skinny survivors came out of a nearby shack and looked at them aggressively.
However, after noticing the energy gun in Qin Yourong's hand, the survivors immediately retracted their gazes and stood still, fearing that some unnecessary actions would cause Qin Yourong to misunderstand them.
Chen Yan discovered that among these survivors, some of them were covered with disgusting cysts.
Small cysts can be about the size of a fist, while larger cysts can be almost as big as a person's head.
And the proportion of people with cysts is not low. Almost three or four out of every ten people are plagued by cysts!
Some people's cysts seemed to be punctured, with green pus flowing out and emitting a pungent stench.
Chen Yan felt nauseous again.
If he had not killed and dissected several zombies with his own hands along the way, which significantly improved his ability to withstand the fumes, he would probably have been vomited on the spot.
"Everything edible here, as well as all available water sources, are contaminated. Only those who have unlocked their genetic locks can truly fight against pollution and remain unaffected.
Those who have already started to develop cysts are more seriously contaminated and basically won't live for many years. Those who look relatively normal are just less contaminated, not completely uncontaminated."
Qin Yourong began to explain.
Chen Yan exhaled with some effort and nodded slowly.
Following Qin Yourong closely, after entering the camp completely, suddenly a woman who was so thin that only skin and bones were left rushed over from the side!
Just when the woman rushed to within a meter of Chen Yan, Qin Yourong suddenly launched a fierce whip kick, hitting the woman's waist hard.
The woman screamed miserably on the spot, took a few steps back uncontrollably, and then fell to the ground weakly.
Only then did Chen Yan have time to see the woman's condition clearly. He discovered that apart from some rags on her upper body that could barely cover her body, she was wearing nothing on her lower body.
Her body was dirty and covered with large black scabs, but her facial features were still pretty, and one could barely tell that she was a good-looking woman.
"I... I just want... I want something to eat... Please... give me something to eat... I'll let you... fuck me as much as you want..."
The woman's waist seemed to be broken by the kick. She endured the severe pain in her waist and spoke intermittently.
Qin Yourong, however, drew out a pistol with an expressionless face and said, "He is my partner. I can satisfy him if he needs anything. There is no need to trouble you pollutants."
After saying that, Qin Yourong pulled the trigger decisively.
The muzzle of the gun instantly fired a beam of energy, which directly pierced the woman's eyebrows!
Chen Yan was shocked by Qin Yourong's cruel behavior.
Because this is completely different from the zombies killed before. This is a living being, a living person!
However, it was wiped out on the spot without any hesitation before his eyes.
