Chapter 134 Zombie King
Han Dongling was so angry she almost laughed at these idiots. She had managed to kill the mutated spider, yet these people were willing to risk their lives for the treasure. Did they think she had saved them on purpose and that she was too soft-hearted to kill them?
Li Lei and the others did indeed think that way, believing that Han Dongling revealed her superpowers in front of them to save them and to demonstrate her abilities so that they would no longer treat her differently because she didn't have superpowers.
Yes, these people were that confident, thinking that Han Dongling didn't care about their previous behavior at all, and that Han Dongling was still thinking about returning to the base.
Han Dongling watched the three men's actions without stopping them, because she had already seen the group of zombies nearby surging towards them because of the noise she had made with the explosive talisman. She really wanted to see how these three were going to court death.
She had already done more than enough by not seeking revenge for their failure to help her last time, or for trying to drag her down with them to buy them time to escape.
Even though she still retains some of the moral standards she had before the apocalypse, it doesn't mean she's truly a saint.
Sure enough, the bloody smell of the mutated spiders, combined with the movements and scents of Li Lei and his group, caused the zombies to move much faster.
Soon, the zombies approached Li Lei and his group. The three of them, perhaps genuinely believing that Han Dongling would protect them and wouldn't hurt them because of her soft heart, completely forgot about the zombies and started arguing about how to divide the crystal core of the level-five mutated spider, which was larger than an adult man's fist.
Li Lei was the first to express his opinion: "It was thanks to my strength that you were rescued from the spider webs. I want the lion's share of the supplies in exchange for this crystal core."
Feng Kai objected, "You can't calculate it like that. It was my speed that got you here. I had to go back and pull you several times so you could escape. If I were alone, I could have escaped long ago."
“Yes, the three of us have all contributed a lot, as have my water-based abilities. I’ve been providing you with water every day for years, so my importance to this team is self-evident.” Zhao Meimei didn’t forget to advocate for her own interests.
The three of them started arguing and bringing up old grievances, each believing they had made the greatest contribution to the team.
The zombies were already within reach, but the three of them hadn't noticed.
Han Dongling realized something was wrong; even if these people were courting death, they shouldn't have been able to ignore so many zombies.
It's spider silk, but there's something wrong with that spider silk!
Or the spider's corpse might also be problematic, since spider silk comes from the spider's body.
She thought spider silk wasn't poisonous, but it turns out it's just not the kind of poison that's immediately deadly or directly corrosive, but it probably has hallucinogenic effects.
Even if she discovered that these people might have returned to steal the crystal core because they were poisoned, she guessed that they all had this intention to begin with, and the spider silk toxins only amplified their distracting thoughts.
Sure enough, the three of them argued endlessly over a single crystal core, each believing they had made the greatest contribution, but then they started to denigrate each other, saying that apart from themselves, the contributions of others were insignificant, and so on.
The first zombie had already grabbed Li Lei, and only then did Li Lei notice the zombie, followed by Feng Kai and the others.
But it was too late. Their eyes were wide open, staring in terror at the zombies that surrounded them. Overwhelmed with fear, they couldn't make a sound and were quickly devoured by the horde of zombies.
Fearing the horrifying scene, Han Dongling dared not stare at them when the zombies grabbed them, and simply turned and flew towards the outer edge of the zombie horde.
She planned to continue with her initial plan to ambush the zombies.
Fortunately, those people didn't let out any terrible screams, otherwise she might have felt even more uncomfortable.
Although she knew she couldn't be a saint in the apocalypse, she still disliked this life of fighting and killing.
Feeling down, Han Dongling told herself not to overthink it. Then she started from the outer edge of the zombie horde, either smashing a zombie's head with one blow or taking it down in two or three hits.
However, the zombies seem to get stronger the further inside you go. No wonder they're inside; they're stronger and run faster, while the ones outside are slower.
Han Dongling sometimes uses an electric baton because she is afraid of running out of spiritual energy, so she only uses magic in more urgent situations. However, even so, her spiritual energy has been depleted several times. She is reluctant to take a spirit-restoring pill, so most of the time she simply stays in the ringing state and hides in a tree to recover.
Fortunately, the spiritual energy concentration in the apocalypse was indeed quite high, and with Han Dongling's cultivation at the third level of Qi Refining, her spiritual energy recovery speed was also relatively fast.
Han Dongling fought for a while, then rested. Fortunately, the zombies weren't very intelligent; some just relied on their zombie instincts to get by.
So even though the number of zombies was decreasing, the zombies didn't react much. After they dealt with Li Lei and his group, the zombies returned to their original location in a large group.
Han Dongling was quite curious about what was so attractive to them there.
But don't worry, we'll find out after we deal with these zombies.
With so many zombies, Han Dongling was worried that it would be inconvenient to find the crystal cores later, so she would only touch the small area of zombies when her spiritual energy was resting, so that she wouldn't easily miss the crystal cores.
While Han Dongling was diligently fighting zombies and collecting crystal cores, Ning Xuan was serving egg drop soup to the team members.
Actually, this huge pot of soup, the kind of large iron pot with a diameter of one meter that the brigade used to cook communal meals, only contained about 10 eggs. But because they used some techniques to beat the eggs, the whole pot looked like a lot of egg drop soup.
However, the team members who were working were quite satisfied with the drink. In this day and age, eggs could be considered a meat dish. They all knew the tricks behind the egg drop soup, but no one complained.
The chicken coop at the chicken farm is almost finished. Since we can't indulge in feudal superstitions now, we don't dare to be so casual about choosing an auspicious day for the roof-raising ceremony.
Secretly, the elders in the village suggested a few auspicious days for the roof-raising ceremony, but they didn't say it outright; they did it skillfully.
For example, "Judging from this progress, if things go smoothly, we should be able to put up the roof beam on the sixth day of the lunar new year. If things are slower, it shouldn't be past the ninth day. It shouldn't rain, otherwise, if we stop for a few days, we'll have to wait until the twelfth..."
As it was getting dark, Han Dongling had finally dealt with most of the zombies. She even used an invisibility talisman once more, finding it very satisfying to launch a sneak attack from the shadows.
However, she found the remaining zombies to be difficult to deal with. These zombies seemed to be of a higher level and had even developed intelligence. The ones on the outside were always protecting the one in the middle, and Han Dongling suspected that it was the zombie king of this area.
