Eve and her group followed the scarred man into a corridor. It seemed that the corridor had been cleaned up. There were several zombie corpses lying on both sides of the corridor. Eve noticed that the zombies died in different ways.
She bent down and was about to check the blunt force trauma on a zombie's head when she heard the man say, "Wait here. I'll go talk to the team."
There was a wall in front of them, with a sculpture piled on the front side, cleverly blocking the secret door at the back.
After the man finished speaking, he motioned the three people not to move, and he squeezed into the secret door through the gap between the sculpture and the wall.
To avoid being discovered by the zombies, the three of them stood against the wall, trying to hide their figures. As Eve leaned against the sculpture, Ling Ning came over and said, "I still don't understand - why should we cooperate with them?"
"Because they want to monopolize the third-level zombies," Eve glanced at the secret door and said, "and they also want to find an opportunity to get rid of us."
Ling Ning was stunned: "Doesn't that mean we shouldn't cooperate with them?!"
"Why?" Eve gave Ling Ning a strange look. "If you cooperate, you can get free labor."
Ling Ning: “……?”
Eve asked, "How many days have they been in the mall?"
"Four... no, five days."
"Five days," Eve said. "With their strength, they should have already grasped the location of the third-level zombies."
"Following them will give us direct access to the location of the third-tier zombies, and they can even help us clear the area for free," Eve smiled. "It doesn't matter if they're no longer useful—we can just use the zombies to get rid of them."
The dim light cast a hazy shadow on Eve's face. She stood in the dim light, half of her face looked like an angel and the other half looked like a devil.
"What a great opportunity," she said softly, "it would be a shame not to take advantage of it."

Fan Ming: Women are so scary.
Ling Ning: No...it’s only Eve who’s scary.
at the same time.
"Li Kun?" A man with a crew cut asked in disbelief from behind a secret door in the wall. "Didn't I tell you to kill those people?" Why did you bring them back?!
There were two other people sitting around him, one of whom was the man with the gun that Ling Ning had seen. He slowly wiped the black blood off the gun, and his cold eyes swept across the three people standing at the secret door: "Are you going to kill them?"
"Wait, don't be impatient," Li Kun, the scarred man, frowned, "Two of them have special abilities."
"Two?" asked another man, completely covered in a black cloak. "Isn't there only the red-haired one?"
"There's another one," Li Kun said briefly, "but he has a fever."
He explained: "The woman needs fever-reducing medicine to save her brother and wants to cooperate with us."
"No," he had just finished speaking when the crew cut said impatiently, "Level 3 zombies will appear tomorrow. We must deal with them before then."
They staked out the situation for four days before finally figuring out its pattern - that third-level zombie was very cunning, usually hiding deep in the mall and only coming out to look for food every two days.
Tomorrow is the time for it to forage for food. They have spent too much time on this mission. If they don’t bring this zombie back, they will face severe punishment.
Li Kun said, "But that woman has healing abilities."
"Healers are not that rare. Isn't there one in the base?" said the cloaked man. Besides, the red-haired woman could only heal external injuries, which was not enough for them to take the risk of mission failure.
"No, wait," the crew cut suddenly said, "Actually... we can use them as bait."
"Yes," this was exactly what Li Kun was thinking. "Use those two ordinary people to attract the attention of ordinary zombies so that we can focus on dealing with the third-level zombies."
His proposal successfully made the other three people think.
They need to capture the third-level zombie alive, but it always appears together with ordinary zombies, which greatly increases the difficulty of the task.
Their task would be relatively easy if there were two living "bait" to lure away the ordinary zombies.
After a long time, the crew cut said, "That's a good suggestion."
He is the captain of this superpower team. With his nod, the plan is basically finalized.
Li Kunjian's hard face revealed a cold smile: "Then I'll go tell our new 'teammates' this good news."
His words were met with a burst of sarcastic laughter.
"Go ahead, don't make them wait too long," the crew cut snorted softly, "After all—"
Except for the healing woman, the other three might not survive tomorrow's hunting operation.
***
Li Kun brought Eve and others to the superpower team.
"This is our captain," he pointed at the man with the buzz cut and introduced him. "He has a power-enhancing ability. We all call him Brother Wang."
"I don't deserve it," the buzz-cut Wang Ge replied, raising his chin to look at Eve, "Are you a healing type?"
Eve nodded and said in a very small voice, "My brother is also a reinforcement type, but he has a fever."
Hearing this, Brother Wang turned his gaze to Seven on Fan Ming's back. He paused, then gave an ambiguous smile. "Oh? Really?" He instructed the man with the gun, "Old Five, give him some fever-reducing medicine."
The man called Lao Wu nodded, took out a pack of cephalexin from his pocket, and was about to walk over when Eve stopped him. "It's okay, I'll do it," she explained softly, "My brother isn't used to interacting with strangers."
Of course, Lao Wu didn't care. Originally, this cephalexin was just a fake to appease them. He casually threw it to Eve: "Here."
Eve held the medicine and walked carefully to Qi's side. She put the medicine to his mouth and seemed to be feeding it to him, but the tiny pill did not touch Qi at all, but fell into her sleeve along her wrist.
Eve deliberately let out a long sigh: "...Okay."
"Are you satisfied now?" Brother Wang said, "Then let's talk about our cooperation."
The plan that the superpower team revealed to Eve was simple.
According to their arrangement, Fan Ming and Ling Ning must assist the team in killing zombies, while Eve can stay outside the battle as a backup and be protected by Li Kun, an earth-type mutant in the team.
Upon hearing this, Eve glanced at Li Kun, who showed an ambiguous smile on his ferocious face covered with scars.
Eve looked away.
Protect?
——She prefers the term “restricting personal freedom”.
She ignored the anxious glances from Ling Ning and the others, smiled and nodded, "Okay."
"As for your brother," Brother Wang said compassionately, "since he is unwell, he does not need to participate in the battle. He will stay with you when the time comes."
"You're so kind," Eve said, her eyes widening, making her look like a naive little girl. "Thank you so much!"
Brother Wang smiled wryly: "No, after all, we need your special ability too."
The two people with ulterior motives looked at each other and smiled politely at the same time.
Fan Ming and Ling Ning, who were watching from the side, said: "..."
This world is so scary, Mom, they want to go back to Mars.
Since it was inconvenient to move around at night, Brother Wang arranged a safe room for Eve and others to rest, and woke them up early the next day.
Eve was not actually asleep. She closed her eyes and pretended to doze. When Brother Wang and the others came in, she pretended to yawn and took a look at the four of them. She found that each of them was fully armed.
Brother Wang said, "Let's go. I'll take you there."
He didn't explain to the three where they were going, so Eve deliberately said, "Can't we just kill zombies nearby?"
"No." Brother Wang rejected her directly without saying a word.
Eve blinked, and Lao Wu came up to her, curled his lips at her, and said meaningfully: "Don't worry, I will bring you back safely."
For some reason, they even asked to bring the unconscious Qi along. Ling Ning walked over to Eve worriedly and asked, "Is everything okay?"
Eve just shook her head, signaling her to be quiet.
These people probably also wanted to use Qi as bait, but they didn't know that as ordinary zombies of the same kind, they would not actively attack Qi.
But Eve wouldn't be so kind as to tell Brother Wang and his group that she was happy to have someone serve as Qi's means of transportation - so that she wouldn't have to move.
The seven of them walked in the dim mall for dozens of minutes, and finally stopped near the top floor. Brother Wang said, "We're here."
He pointed to a cinema ten meters away and said, "There are a lot of zombies there. Lao Wu will lure the zombies over here, and you will be responsible for dealing with them." His last words were to Fan Ming and Ling Ning.
The two nodded, their faces a little tense due to nervousness.
"Come with me." Li Kun said to Eve.
He carried Qi on his back with one hand and took Eve to the other side of the cinema, where there was a small platform above the ground that overlooked the flat land in front of the cinema.
Several small dark figures could be seen gathered at the entrance of the cinema - they were Brother Wang, Ling Ning and the others.
Li Kun asked Eve to stand on the platform and threw Qi at her feet. He then knelt on the edge of the platform with his hands on the ground. In a moment, accompanied by the rumbling sound of rolling soil, four earth walls gradually rose around the platform, surrounding them.
Li Kun said, "When they start fighting, we will stand here."
Eve nodded and asked curiously, "What abilities do these three have?"
"You don't need to know this," Li Kun said impatiently, "Your mission is to treat."
"Okay," Eve said readily, but after a few seconds of silence, she couldn't help herself and said, "Ling Ning said you guys have been here for a long time. Have you collected a lot of nuclear crystals?"
Li Kun: “…” Why is this bitch so annoying?
He focused all his attention on the other side, waiting for Brother Wang to give the battle signal, but Eve was talking incoherently there. He suddenly felt annoyed: "Shut up!"
Eve blinked innocently: "Oh."
She stood aside and seemed to be quiet, but her round cat eyes kept looking at Li Kun, finally stopping at his waist.
There was a small military bag hanging there, which was bulging with stuff. I don't know what was inside.
Eve narrowed her eyes, bent down as if to tie her shoelaces, and deliberately bumped into Li Kun, her hand accidentally touching the military bag.
The latter immediately jumped up as if he had been electrocuted: "What are you doing..."
"I'm sorry!" Eve said before he could, "I didn't stand firmly."
Li Kun stared at her, as if examining Eve's expression. After a long moment, his face turned grim and he said, "Pay attention to yourself."
"Okay," Eve nodded obediently, pointing behind him, "But...it seems like they've started."
Li Kun was startled and turned his head quickly. Flashlights flashed three times in the direction of Brother Wang and his men - that was the signal for the start of the battle.
He immediately ignored Eve and stared at the entrance of the cinema. He only said to her, "If you don't want to suffer, then be content. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
Eve narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Then I won't say anything." She said slowly, moving her feet, shortening the distance between her and Li Kun without leaving any trace. The latter stared at the entrance of the cinema and did not notice her little movement, and did not even look in her direction.
This is the opportunity Eve has been waiting for.
——The next second, she suddenly jumped up and pounced on Li Kun like a black cat!
The latter was indeed a superpowered person. He reacted just before Eve was about to touch him, suddenly pulled away, and said in surprise: "What are you doing...?!"
Eve's attack missed, and her hand brushed against Li Kun's side as it fell. However, her five fingers quickly flipped over, and a small knife popped out from her fingertips. With a twist of her wrist, she directly cut open the military bag on Li Kun's waist!
“Swish!”
A narrow crack was torn on the outside of the bag, and suddenly, a pile of glittering crystals rushed out along the crack, almost condensing into a small red stream.
Eve looked at the ground full of nuclear crystals, and the corners of her mouth slowly rose.
"You guys are amazing. You have so many core crystals."
Those round green eyes were full of light, like a child who had discovered a room full of new toys.
Li Kun, on the other hand, had a face as black as an over-baked shrimp cake. He stared at Eve coldly: "What do you mean?"
Eve ignored her, bent down, and grabbed a handful of nuclear crystals.
"There are so many core crystals," she said in a brisk voice, like a waltz. "Why don't you give them all to me?"
The author has something to say:
Eve: I can upgrade after getting the nuclear crystal, great.
Li Kun: I have never seen such a shameless person!

Mitsuha: "Excuse me, having multiple part-time jobs shouldn't be illegal, right?"
The onlookers: “… Holy crap!”
Mitsuha was confused.
She originally took on the bodyguard mission at the research institute just for the huge reward, but why did Dr. Su Li, who was rumored to be moody, beautiful but kind-hearted, take her to watch documentaries every day?
Su Li: "Do you know that the origin of the universe is the Big Bang?"
Mitsuha: "Well... then what?"
The man with gorgeous features suddenly looked gloomy: "Forget it, let's go."
Later, she understood the doctor's hidden meaning.
If the origin of the universe is the Big Bang, then my origin may be you.

Stepsister: “?!”
Everyone found that something seemed wrong.
The monster, which was originally weak and as big as a mountain, was sent flying by her with one punch.
