Chapter 64: Greed



Looking at the crystal core in his hand, which should have made him happy, Qin Qing felt heavy-hearted. He had not expected that the evolved zombies would appear so early.

Li Xiong frowned and asked, "Why is the crystal core of this zombie different from the previous one?" Qin Qing shook his head and said, "I didn't expect an evolved zombie to appear!"

Li Xiong exclaimed, "What? Evolved zombies?"

Qin Qing nodded, and pretended to take the crystal core out of the bag. Then he put the two crystal cores together in the palm of his hand and let Li Xiong compare them.

Li Xiong could clearly see that the mutant zombie's crystal core was lighter in color and smaller, while the purified zombie's crystal core was darker in color and slightly larger.

Qin Qing handed the zombie-evolving crystal core to Li Xiong and said, "Quickly absorb this crystal core!"

Li Xiong didn't waste any time. He took the crystal core and sat down to start absorbing it.

Qin Qing stood beside Li Xiong, carefully watching his surroundings for any zombie attacks.

As soon as Li Xiong held the crystal core tightly and started to absorb the supernatural power, he clearly felt the difference between the crystal core of the evolved zombie and the crystal core of the mutated zombie.

The surging energy surged into the body like a tidal wave.

His originally dried-up supernatural power gradually filled up, but the rapid absorption also made Li Xiong's meridians like being blown up by a balloon. They exploded bit by bit and were quickly repaired by the supernatural power. The painful feeling like being cut into pieces crushed Li Xiong's whole body like a galloping horse.

Although Qin Qing had been giving Li Xiong the well water in the space to drink after they got together, it was still not as good as Qin Qing absorbing the energy of the jade and drinking the violent substance in the well water that had been mixed with the crystal core.

However, it was fortunate that Li Xiong had been drinking Qin Qing's space well water. Otherwise, after absorbing the crystal core, this evolved zombie would have fallen into a coma like Lu Chi.

Lu Chi absorbed too many mutated zombie crystal cores, and after his supernatural powers were exhausted, he fell into a state of being swallowed by the dark matter in the zombie crystal cores.

It was because Qin Qing fed him the space well water that he did not mutate into a zombie.

Time ticked by. Lu Yisheng had given them three hours, and now it was almost two. Qin Qing and his team still hadn't found anything, and they had no idea what the other two teams were doing.

Zhao Chun and his team were currently hiding in a desperate situation behind a container, not far from the supermarket warehouse they had found. Of the eight of them, two had already used their powers, leaving them completely defenseless and crippled on the ground.

Looking at the two teammates, a hint of cruelty flashed in Zhao Chun's eyes. Although he had crystal cores, he didn't want to share them with them. After all, each mutant crystal core was not easy to come by.

"Zheng Yu, where is the zombie now?" Zhao Chun asked with a frown.

Zheng Yu, the young man, said with a pale face, "I can't detect them. There are only six or seven ordinary zombies."

"How is that possible?" Zhao Chun said dissatisfiedly.

The burly man who had followed Zhao Chunze before took out two crystal cores from his pocket and threw them to his teammates sitting on the ground. The two teammates smiled at him gratefully and quickly picked up the crystal cores and absorbed them.

The burly man then turned to Zhao Chunze and said, "Maybe the zombie was injured by Zhang Liang and Qiangzi, so it ran away!" His tone was dry, showing his unhappiness.

Luo Dazhuang was a foreman, and his five men were all good brothers who worked with him. These strong men had only a lot of strength but no brains.

He had brought his brothers to follow Zhao Chunze because of Zhao Chunze's supernatural powers. Zhao Chunze had initially taken good care of them, but after several of his brothers were captured by zombies and some died, and the undead gained supernatural powers, Zhao Chunze began to be wary of them.

The crystal cores obtained from hunting mutant zombies were basically taken away by Zhao Chunze alone. Only after they had used up their superpowers would Zhao Chunze give them a crystal core to replenish their superpowers.

But this time, Zhao Chun was reluctant to give the crystal core to his two brothers. Although Luo Dazhuang was not very smart, it did not mean that he was stupid.

He gave the crystal core he had left behind to his brother, but it also meant that he would no longer give the crystal core to Zhao Chunze in the future.

Zhao Chun didn't know that the person he had always treated as a fool had his own plans. When he saw Luo Dazhuang handing the crystal core to his brother, his face was full of disapproval.

He even wondered in his heart, could these people have hidden a lot of crystal cores from him? He clearly had some, but he didn't use his own crystal cores at the beginning, just waiting for him to give them to him.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chun became even more determined that he must not use the crystal cores on him to this group of people.

Zheng Yu took a breath. Using his supernatural powers to observe his surroundings had exhausted him. He stretched out a pale and weak hand and asked Zhao Chunze for the crystal core.

Zhao Chunze had just been thinking about not giving the crystal core, but now when he saw Zheng Yu's hand stretched out in front of him, he felt unhappy.

But Zheng Yu is different from Luo Dazhuang and the others. His special ability is spiritual. As long as he is there, he can sense whether the area is safe or not.

It can be said that the fact that we were able to safely enter the supermarket warehouse along the way was entirely due to Zheng Yu's special abilities.

No matter how reluctant he was, Zhao Chunze had no choice but to reluctantly take out a crystal core and give it to Zheng Yu.

"Brother Luo, go open the door." Zhao Chunze stopped thinking about this matter with a painful heart, and turned to Luo Dazhuang and said.

Luo Dazhuang was stunned at this moment, and then asked in confusion: "Aren't you going to send a signal to the base?" He had agreed with the base before that as long as he found the supermarket warehouse, he would send a signal.

Zhao Chun glanced at the warehouse, his eyes filled with greed. You know, the things in this supermarket are definitely not just a few that the base would be interested in.

It’s a pity that they have too few people. If they had more, they could take these supplies for themselves and build a survivor base of their own.

"Let's go in first and check if there are indeed supplies inside before sending a signal." Zhao Chun was thinking that even if he couldn't take it for himself, at least he could store more supplies in his bag.

Of course, it would be best if we could find a place to transfer these supplies to another place for storage and then come back to get them later.

But these things cannot be known to Luo Dazhuang and the others. Who knows what they are thinking?

Thinking of this, he rolled his eyes and said, "Besides, there are zombies outside now. If we can't break out, we can only hide in the warehouse."

When Luo Dazhuang heard him say this, he didn't think much about it. He walked forward and tentatively pushed the warehouse door with his hand.

The iron door didn't budge until I heard some iron-on-iron clashing sounds from the door handle. Upon closer inspection, I discovered a thick iron chain wrapped around the door handle several times, and a large lock hung on the chain.
