Zhou Shan and the others, who had originally made up their minds to ignore the situation, hesitantly turned their gaze back to Qin Qing. Every word the boy said was heartbreaking.
Qin Qing remained unmoved, staring coldly at Bi Ye. Bi Ye's eyes flushed as he stared at Qin Qing, forcing himself not to look away. His mother had said that boys should be strong.
But even if he pretended to be calm, he was only ten years old after all, and his small body trembled slightly under Qin Qing's gaze. But he knew that if he didn't gain the recognition of the person in front of him this time, he would probably end up being abandoned.
What they had discussed earlier seemed very important. And Qin Qing had given the oldest man something that had made him, unable to even stand, suddenly feel energetic after a while.
If he also has this ability, does it mean that he can kill those zombies to avenge his parents in the future?
Thinking of this, his originally panic-stricken expression gradually became firm.
His change in attitude made Qin Qing's cold gaze reflect a critical one. She wanted to take back what she had said before; it wasn't entirely true. There was another kind of person who would bravely rise to the occasion in the face of adversity and create their own miracles.
"When we come back, if you still think the same, we'll take you with us."
After saying that, he called Li Xiong to go downstairs.
Qin Qing's decision made Zhou Shan happy, as it proved that Qin Qing agreed to accept the little boy!
Cheng Xinxin's face was filled with displeasure. It had taken her so long to finally gain Sister Qin's approval. This crybaby, upon his arrival, unexpectedly made Sister Qin look at him differently. She was extremely upset, and her sympathetic gaze towards Bi Ye turned completely to anger.
Zhou Shan, on the other hand, whispered to Bi Ye to comfort him. However, Bi Ye was relieved to see his parents' miserable state, even though Qin Qing agreed to keep him. It did not make him feel any better.
Li Xiong followed Qin Qing's footsteps closely. If he could only send out one lightning strike before, now he felt that he could at least send out three lightning strikes. In this way, if they encountered mutant zombies again, their chances of winning would be much greater.
"Qin Qing, the more this crystal core absorbs, the stronger it will become?" Li Xiong said as they walked.
Qin Qing was silent for a moment, then replied in a dry voice, "That's how it should be, but as we absorb the crystal cores to enhance our abilities, I'm afraid the zombies will also become stronger."
Li Xiong was in a good mood, but when Qin Qing said this, he was stunned at first, and then shocked.
"You mean these zombies will become stronger?" His face was serious.
Ordinary zombies were enough to make people retreat three feet away, let alone mutant zombies? They had to risk their lives to kill the mutant zombie just now.
If more evolved zombies appear, how can humans survive?
Li Xiong felt a wave of sadness well up in his heart. What would become of this world in the future? Would God still let us live?
Qin Qing had already thought of this possibility upstairs, but if she spoke about it now, it would only add to the panic! If Li Xiong hadn't asked, she thought she would have kept this possibility to herself.
Because there were two of them, and Li Xiong was full of energy at the moment, it only took a few words for them to return to the place where the mutant zombie fell.
Looking at the corpses of the mutant zombies still lying there, Qin Qing knew that no one had come since they left. At least not the other two teams, and he wondered if they had also encountered mutant zombies.
The two of them walked around the mud wall Zhang Yong had built at the entrance, then carefully pushed open the glass door and quietly walked into the supermarket. The supermarket was eerily quiet at the moment.
Qin Qing and Li Xiong had previously agreed that if they encountered another mutant zombie, they would work together to kill it and obtain its crystal core. With Li Xiong's current abilities, if he could kill two mutant zombies with three lightning strikes, he could use one to replenish his energy and obtain an extra crystal core.
Zhang Yong, Zhou Shan and Wang Xiaobao, if Cheng Chuan in the base is included, they have to kill at least six mutated zombies this time, but there are not many mutated zombies now.
But according to Lu Yisheng's agreement, if they missed the waiting time, they would be left behind. Therefore, the most important thing now was to get a crystal core for Zhang Yong and keep a crystal core for Li Xiong to replenish his energy. This way, they would have a chance to get out safely together.
This supermarket covers a very large area, so the stench inside is not serious.
It was still bright outside, but it was already getting a little dark inside.
The first floor that Qin Qing and the others entered was for clothing. Clothes of various brands were hung on the walls and in the closets, but because no one cleaned the place, the beautiful clothes were covered with a layer of fine dust.
Because Li Xiong was there, Qin Qing could not wantonly collect these clothes into the space and could only watch with envy.
I don't know if it's because of the mutant zombie that was there before, but on this floor, I can see many human skeletons that have been gnawed into bones, and the brains have been completely sucked out. I can see the tooth marks on the skulls and the empty brains inside.
When I reached the center, I saw the entrance to one of the two elevators half-open. Lying on the ground was a body so battered it was unrecognizable. Judging by the tattered clothes, she must have been a salesperson from the clothing store.
The other one was tightly closed. Qin Qing stopped, grabbed Li Xiong, and pointed at the tightly closed elevator door.
Li Xiong nodded, stepped back, and subconsciously found a place to cover his body.
The closer we got to the elevator, the stronger the stench became.
Moreover, this time, Qin Qing felt even worse than last time. This time, the stench was tinged with a hint of fishiness, like a rotten fish pulled from the sea.
Qin Qing gritted his teeth and quickly pressed the elevator button, then quickly stepped back. When the door opened, Qin Qing felt as if he had opened Pandora's box.
A creature that looked more like a monster than a human was coiled on the top of the elevator. Its head, facing downwards, was like a giant light bulb buried in a pile of rotten flesh. There was no hair on its head.
The limbs have also mutated, and the shape of human hands is no longer recognizable. They look like octopus claws, tightly attached to the elevator's lifting frame.
Its body was saturated with a mucus that must have been corrosive, for its clothes had become tattered strips, clinging to its body.
The slime continued to fall onto the floor of the elevator, making a "hissing" sound, the sound of the iron plate being corroded.
Hearing the sound of the elevator door opening, the zombie slowly turned his head.
