"Everyone, be careful!" A short, fleshy man walked across the gravel field and shouted gruffly to the people around him, "If I find anyone hiding nuclear crystals, I'll throw them outside the base to feed the zombies!"
Although he was short in stature, his words seemed to have great power. Several laborers who had been acting ambiguously immediately pulled their hands out of their coarse cloth pockets, and when they met his gaze, they all lowered their heads guiltily.
In a corner of the gravel field, Eve slowly stood up. She first glanced at the man who was pretending to be powerful, then lowered her head. In the palm of her hand lay a light red crystal.
——This is what men call nuclear crystal.
Three years ago, a zombie virus broke out. Since several outbreak points were in military areas, it directly caused the collapse of the armies of several countries and paralyzed the countries. At one point, humans were almost powerless to fight back, and the world's population was reduced to 40%.
But then came the superpowers.
The ratio of people with special abilities to ordinary people is about four to six. Relying on various special abilities, they quickly replaced the original army and began to resist the zombie invasion. At the same time, they established private bases to protect the last humans.
At the same time, people discovered that there was a kind of nuclear crystal hidden in the zombies' brains. This crystal, which contained huge energy, could stimulate human potential. If a person with special abilities took a certain amount, it could also increase their ability level.
At present, thousands of zombie corpses are piled up in this small gravel yard. They were dragged back to the base from the wild by soldiers and piled up into the shape of small hills like bulging purple cloth bags, emitting a disgusting smell of decay.
The job of ordinary people like Eve is to dig out nuclear crystals from the brains of zombies - after all, it is a waste of talent to give such simple mechanical work to people with special abilities.
Eve lowered her green eyes and quietly hit the zombie's head with a small hoe. A series of dragging footsteps sounded behind her, and then her hands were covered by a pair of sweaty hands.
Her green eyes lifted up and met a pair of small, thin rat eyes.
She blinked, a layer of doubt misting in her beautiful eyes: "Supervisor Zhang?"
Zhang Liu was the supervisor who had been shouting just now. He was a person with special abilities. Although his abilities were quite useless - he could sense energy, but he was perfect for supervising the workers in the gravel yard.
Zhang Liu stared at Eve's beautiful face. Even though it was stained with dust and blood, her facial features were still delicate and dazzling, like a flower blooming in the gray stone soil.
A delicate, thornless flower.
Zhang Liu's smile deepened. He squeezed Eve's hand in an ambiguous manner and said, "Eve, are you free today? How about..."
"Ah," Eve cried softly. She seemed to have suddenly remembered something, raised her cat's eye eyes, and smiled sweetly, "Supervisor Zhang, I have a gift for you."
Zhang Liu was almost drowned in this smile. Following Eve's guidance, he unconsciously spread his hands and hummed, "What..."
“Snap!”
A sticky, wet, cold thing with a pungent fishy smell fell into his palm.
Zhang Liu subconsciously looked down and saw a highly decayed zombie brain lying in the palm of his hand. A yellow-white liquid was constantly dripping from the minced meat that had almost rotted into a ball.
The romantic thoughts that were lingering in his mind were instantly blown away, and he roared in fear: "Eve! What the hell are you doing?!"
Zhang Liu tried to shake off the brain, but failed - Eve held his hand tightly and pressed the terrifying brain deep into his palm.
The smell of rotting organs continued to squeeze into Zhang Liu's nose, and he almost vomited. But Eve kept smiling: "Supervisor Zhang, please take a closer look."
She finally loosened her fingers, and casually inserted her slender fingertips into the rotten flesh, stirred the brain, and fished out a nuclear crystal as thick as her little finger.
"Look, this nuclear crystal is amazing! It's even bigger than the one Aman found yesterday, right?"
The nuclear crystal was indeed very large, but Zhang Liu didn't pay any attention to the glittering stone. He stared at Eve in shock and anger.
Opposite him, the red-haired girl's face flushed slightly, and her voice was childish and excited, like a child seeking credit.
But in sharp contrast to the angelic face were the hands covered with brains. With the slightest movement, sticky gray matter fell down with a "pa ta pa ta".
Looking at the red and white rotten things on the ground, Zhang Liu's face turned pale and blue, and he almost vomited out the overnight meal.
"Supervisor Zhang, please make sure you hold it securely."
Eve seemed unaware and slowly placed the nuclear crystal into Zhang Liu's empty hand.
But while Zhang Liu was stunned, she flipped her thumb and quickly squeezed a drop of blood onto the nuclear crystal.
The tiny bit of bright red miraculously sank into the crystal and soon disappeared without a trace.
After doing all this, Eve finally let go of Zhang Liu and said with a smile, "I have accomplished my goal for today. Can I go home now?"
Zhang Liu hadn't been able to escape the cold and slippery touch of his hand yet, his face turning pale: "You..."
Eve blinked at him innocently.
Zhang Liu's mouth opened and closed like a drowning fish, and finally changed his words in a sullen tone: "...You can go now."
The red-haired girl said obediently, "See you tomorrow, Supervisor Zhang."
She walked away like a light deer. Looking at Eve's back, Zhang Liu's face was filled with gloom.
The supervisor who was watching the fun came over and asked: "How dare you provoke her?"
Zhang Liu asked angrily, "What do you mean?"
"Everyone says there's something wrong with that little girl," the supervisor said, pointing to his head with an exaggerated expression. "I even saw her squatting next to zombies picking out their internal organs for fun."
Hell, even if they were surrounded by corpses every day, who would be willing to touch these highly decomposed pieces of flesh?
But Eve was able to do it without any scruples. Although she was young, she was the most efficient worker in the entire gravel yard. The nuclear crystals she dug out in a day were equivalent to those of two ordinary workers.
In addition, the nuclear crystals she dug out were of high integrity and were highly sought after by people with special abilities. Several supervisors made a lot of money from it. It was precisely because of this relationship that even though Zhang Liu had coveted her for a long time, he did not dare to force himself on her.
Zhang Liu looked at Eve's back, his eyes filled with reluctance: "Such a beautiful little beauty..."
"There's always a chance," the supervisor coaxed him, "As long as she stays in this base, how long can she last?" The outside of the base was full of hungry zombies. Ordinary people like Eve who had no special abilities would die if they went out.
Zhang Liu thought about it and it made sense. His expression turned from sunny to cloudy. He glanced at the stain on his hand and wiped it on his companion in disgust: "Damn it, this is disgusting!"
My companion screamed, "Fuck! What the hell are you doing?!"
On the other side, Eve heard the noise and turned around, just catching a glimpse of the two of them. Looking at the expression of disgust and nausea on Zhang Liu's face, she blinked and the corners of her mouth slowly curled up.
Then, a light laugh escaped from his lips, spreading through the air like a rolling silver bell.
She opened her eyes wide and looked at Zhang Liu with interest, her expression as satisfied as a well-fed cat.
***
On the way back to the rest area, Eve caught a glimpse of a few soldiers walking ahead and approached them as if nothing had happened.
"Has that high-level zombie been moved?"
"Absolutely no problem, all the soldiers have been transferred there."
"Damn it," one person cursed, "What's the use of ordinary soldiers? Where are the mutants? Where are the nuclear crystals?"
The companion said, "Don't worry, they're also worried about accidents. I heard that Dr. Jiang has already taken out all the nuclear crystals in stock!"
These words immediately caused everyone to exclaim in surprise. While the conversation was still going on, Eve stopped at the next corner and quietly disappeared into the shadows.
In the darkness, her cat-like eyes sparkled.
Recalling what the soldier had just said, Eve couldn't help but lick her lips, with a cold look on her brows, much like a lurking cheetah.
She needs nuclear crystals.
A year ago, Eve came to this base. Since she did not show any combat ability, she was directly assigned to do the most basic hard labor tasks.
But in fact, Eve is not without any special abilities.
To be precise, she is a necromancer from another world.
The Necromancer can control the dead - including the zombies in this world, but Eve does not have enough magic power now and has to stay dormant in this small base.
During a joint hunt for her, Eve was accidentally defeated. In order to avoid the enemy's eyes and ears, she was forced to hide in this world. However, the price of forcibly tearing time and space was that she lost all her magic power.
But fortunately, this world has nuclear crystals.
Nuclear crystals contain enormous energy. Eve once tried it and found that nuclear crystals could replace magic power for her use.
Unfortunately, the nuclear crystals were considered priceless treasures by the base, and ordinary people were deprived of the right to own nuclear crystals. It took her a year to collect only a few of them, which was not enough to fill the magic gap.
Fortunately, the soldiers brought her good news.
Thinking of everything she had just heard, Eve couldn't help licking her lips. Her round and small tongue slid across her teeth, and she smiled quietly.
The green in his eyes almost burned into a flame.
***
After midnight, a slender figure quietly slipped out of the residential area.
She stopped at a fork in the road, revealing a delicate little face under her wide cloak. Eve looked around, and after confirming that no one was around, she bit her finger hard and let the blood drip into the void.
Strangely, the blood did not fall directly to the ground, but floated up like a balloon and merged into a straight red line.
The other end of the red line sank into the darkness, pointing in a certain direction.
Eve looked over and saw the research area of the base.
I don’t know if it’s the same in other bases, but this base seems to focus on scientific research. You can often see scientific researchers in white coats walking around, and sometimes soldiers will transport zombies to serve as experimental subjects.
After determining the direction, Eve quickly ran in the dark.
——She is going to steal the nuclear crystal.
Nuclear crystals are usually kept under strict guard, but this time, in order to deal with the high-level zombies that had just entered the base, a large number of nuclear crystals were taken out of the safe and taken to the experimental area.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Eve had cast a tracking spell on the nuclear crystal in advance, but she was not in good physical condition and bumped into several patrolling soldiers on the way. Fortunately, she used Zhang Liu as an excuse to deceive them very smoothly. Guided by the blood line, she quickly found the target - a small building in the southwest corner of the experimental area.
She was standing at the door, thinking about how to trick the guards inside, when suddenly a group of people rushed out, led by a man wearing glasses, shouting, "Take these zombies away!"
Several soldiers behind him were pushing a huge iron cage. Several low-level zombies were trapped inside. They were banging their heads against the bars with crazy expressions and roaring loudly.
"Dr. Jiang!" A soldier, sweating profusely, tried to block the cage door with his body. "No... No! We can't hold on any longer!"
The man with glasses looked at the iron gate that was shaky after being hit by the zombies, and his face flashed with anxiety and irritation. "Stop talking nonsense! Take it away!"
"Ah!" Suddenly, a soldier screamed in fear, "Help... No! I'm bitten!"
—A small zombie was hanging from his hand like a koala, leaving a bloody bite.
The soldier couldn't care less about anything else. He desperately tried to retreat, but this retreat left a gap, and several zombies took the opportunity to push against the door. With a loud "bang", the iron door fell to the ground.
The zombies are out!
"Fuck!" the captain roared immediately, "Attack! Attack!"
"Bang! Bang!"
The soldier opened fire, and the leading zombie was shot in the head, splashing blood everywhere. However, more zombies stepped on its corpse and pounced on it with murderous eyes!
Eve squatted in the shadow of the corner, holding her chin and looking at them, tapping the ground one by one, as if counting some beats. After a wave of bullets from the soldiers passed, she suddenly stood up and ran towards them.
No one expected a girl to suddenly appear. The captain was stunned for half a second, then quickly shouted, "Go away!!"
With so many zombies, is she looking for death?!
Eve turned a deaf ear to them and walked around them, rushing straight towards the zombies. A soldier wanted to grab her, but a zombie pounced on him, scaring him so much that he subconsciously stepped back.
It was just this moment of hesitation that caused the zombies to swarm over and surround Eve.
She was like a weak lamb surrounded by wolves. Before she could move, the nearest zombie pounced on her and bit her shoulder!
It had been locked in the cage for a long time and had been thirsting for human flesh. It used its sharp teeth to forcefully tear off a piece of flesh!
Several soldiers gasped, but the expected screams did not come - Eve didn't even resist, but stood on tiptoe to hug the zombie!
Her movements were gentle, almost like a lover's tender embrace.
Looking at this incredible scene, the same thought flashed through everyone's mind.
This... was he bitten by a zombie and became stupid?!
Eve ignored the soldiers. She was clearly being torn apart by the zombies, but she seemed to feel no pain. She slowly placed her bloody hands on its forehead.
A small drop of blood flowed down the zombie's brow and into its skin.
Eve lowered her eyes to hide the undercurrent surging in her green eyes, and said softly, "Let's go."
Hearing this, the zombie that was busy eating her suddenly froze, and the next moment, it suddenly loosened its grip, picked up Eve, and turned around to run away!
Everyone: “???”
Everyone: “!!!”

Maomao's pre-collection: "Just give me a mouthful of blood! [Apocalypse]"
Vampire Lilith was chosen by the system and transmigrated into a vicious female supporting role in a post-apocalyptic novel.
System: "You are now going to push the heroine into the swarm of zombies."
Lilith looked at the scarred heroine, pondered for a moment, and asked sincerely, "Can I take the cup of blood first?"
System: “?” What the hell?
The system discovered that Lilith's way of doing the task was not right.
【Task 1: Drive away competitors】
The second female supporting role burst into tears: "I only feel safe when I'm with him!"
Lilith comforted: "Come with me, I won't let you bleed even a drop."
Second female supporting role: “……?”
【Task 2: Confess to the hero】
The male protagonist looked sarcastic: "Why bother? Wouldn't the male supporting role be better than me?"
Lilith agreed deeply: "I think so too. Obviously his blood is more fragrant."
Male Lead: “……?”
In the last mission, Lilith needs to die at the hands of the villain Caesar.
System: "Charge forward! Take his blow!"
Lilith had only run half a step when she was picked up by Xisa. The charming man looked at her with affection and whispered, "Master, you finally came to see me."
System: "Why are his lines wrong?"
Lilith: "Oh, he accidentally drank my blood."
Her blood has magical powers, and if humans drink it, they will become her followers.
