While having breakfast, Su Li tried to contact Lu Yu again, but there was no response from the walkie-talkie.
Although the book states that Lu Yu was a high-ranking member of the base, it does not specify when Lu Yu entered the base, nor does it describe the process by which he became a high-ranking member.
However, according to the timeline in the book, Su Ling entered the base a year after the apocalypse, and by then, Lu Yu had already become a high-ranking figure.
Now that the zombie virus has been raging for almost three months, it takes time for someone to go through a process from entering the base to becoming a member of the management team. Su Li thinks that Lu Yu should have already entered the management team by now!
And now that the base is officially starting to accept survivors, he must be very busy!
Thinking this, Su Li kept the walkie-talkie on and the radio on as well, setting them aside.
That way, if there's any news or Lu Yu contacts us, we can find out immediately.
After finishing breakfast, Su Li cleaned up everything upstairs.
Six people and a cat went downstairs and came out of the postpartum recovery center.
Hearing the commotion, the zombies wandering outside the door began to gather rapidly.
The skin of these creatures had become even darker. After two months of exposure to the wind and sun, their muscles seemed to be atrophying. The clothes that should have fit them perfectly now hung loosely, like tattered rags swaying in the wind.
However, although these guys look much weaker and more fragile, as if they could be crushed by a single heavy blow, in reality, their bodies have become incredibly tough!
That wrinkled, purplish-black skin was like a piece of rubber wrapped around the protruding skeleton—it was incredibly resilient and simple attacks couldn't break through it!
Fortunately, the abilities of those with superpowers are gradually becoming stronger!
Su Li fired a string of fireballs at the zombies in front of her. The fireballs quickly burned as soon as they touched the zombies' skin. Then she turned around and kicked a zombie that was lunging at her back with a high kick!
This kick landed squarely on the zombie's chin!
Taking advantage of the moment it turned its head, Su Li quickly fired two fireballs at its forehead. The intensely burning flames made a "sizzling" sound the instant they touched the zombie's forehead, followed by a strong stench and the pungent smell of burning flesh spreading out!
Xuanqing, who was squatting on the air conditioner unit on the steps, saw this scene and quietly sat back down after slightly lifting his buttocks.
It looked up at the sidewalk in the distance. At this moment, the street was teeming with zombies, numbering no less than two or three hundred. And more and more zombies were constantly emerging from among the giant mutated plants!
Su Li and the others didn't need it to deal with these things. For them, this was a perfect opportunity to train their abilities and accumulate crystal cores.
At this time, Xuanqing only needed to keep an eye on them to prevent them from being attacked by zombies or mutated animals that might appear at any time.
Su Li and the others are now very skilled at using their superpowers. Even Fang Chen, who has a healing superpower, has had his various bodily functions enhanced as his superpower has leveled up. At this moment, his movements as he wields the Lin Dong brand spiked club to kill zombies are very smooth and fast!
Soon, the number of zombies still able to walk on the sidewalk began to decrease rapidly. The zombie corpses that fell near the people piled up together, quickly forming mounds of flesh.
There were also twenty or thirty corpses of mutated animals mixed in, but fortunately they were all mutated cats and dogs. Even though their bodies swelled up, they only grew to the size of lions and tigers. They were very conspicuous when they appeared in the zombie horde!
Xuanqing, however, dealt with four mutated birds that swooped down from the sky, including a mutated vulture whose body was almost as big as an airplane after its mutation!
As it swooped down, its enormous wings almost completely blocked out the light and shadow above Su Li and the others.
But Xuan Qing used some kind of magic to sever his head in an instant, and his body was also sent flying to a street corner a hundred meters away!
Su Li and the others were dumbfounded!
While dodging the zombies' attacks, Qi Zhi muttered in shock, "So this is the difference between cultivators and mortals?"
Upon hearing this, Xuanqing leisurely flicked its tail. The difference between magic and so-called superpowers is more than just that!
Putting everything else aside, the fact that an ordinary person can only possess one or a few abilities is simply not enough in the eyes of a cultivator whose magic can be ever-changing!
However, for ordinary people, if they can use an ability to its fullest potential, that is enough to survive smoothly in this world!
About an hour later, with a few loud thuds, the last few zombies fell to the ground under Xu Xiaojie's attack.
Su Li took a breath and looked at the mutated trees not far away. The zombies' "hoarse" roars continued, but no more zombies came out!
The zombies from the other side of the road have probably all arrived. The zombies that are still calling out but haven't come over are probably stuck in the branches of the trees!
Su Li had no intention of dealing with the zombies over there. She turned to look at the people around her, her gaze sweeping over them before she looked at Fang Chen and said:
"Everyone has some scratches and cuts on their bodies, Sister Chen, could you please treat them?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Chen immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay!"
According to the book's setting, the abilities of healing-type superhumans are specifically designed to counter the emergence of the zombie virus.
In other words, as long as a person is bitten by a zombie and receives treatment from a healing-type ability user before mutating, the mutation can be stopped!
This can be considered the last bit of survival guarantee that nature provides for humanity, aside from offensive superpowers!
Unfortunately, healing abilities can only treat external injuries such as zombie bites and scratches.
Aside from that, it can at most treat minor ailments like colds and fevers, but it cannot intervene in serious illnesses such as heart disease or chronic diseases!
This is why medicine remains precious even after the emergence of healing-type ability users!
In today's battle, due to the sheer number of zombies and their powerful evolution, several people's clothes were torn to shreds.
As a result, he had many scratches on his body.
Fortunately, no one was bitten. Otherwise, given the duration of the battle, if anyone had been bitten, they might not have even had time to wait for Fang Chen to treat them before they mutated!
Su Li had two scratches on her shoulder, which were quickly treated.
So she walked into the large pile of corpses ahead and began to dig out the crystal cores from the skulls of the zombies one by one!
With so many zombies, there must be at least five hundred, so the crystal cores can't be wasted.
Especially that mutated vulture, with such a large body, the crystal core in its head must be quite big too!
