"Crack—"
Xu Milu drew her sword and spun around, shaking off the foul-smelling blood. The Vermilion Bird Yin-Yang Sword spontaneously combusted without fire, burning the filth to ashes as if it were alive.
The corpse of a spider-like zombie lay on the ground, its head cut open by Xu Milu, revealing a rhombus-shaped gemstone, not much larger than a pearl, beneath its skull.
Xu Milu chopped off the heads of all the zombies in the gas station. Black blood flowed all over the ground, and limbs and severed arms were scattered everywhere. Broken pieces of flesh were scattered on the ground, as if a merciless massacre had taken place.
"Is this the source of energy for zombies?"
Xu Milu bent down to pick up the crystal core and wiped her hands with some disgust.
Under the sunlight, the transparent crystal core refracted a rainbow of colors. No one would have imagined that such a beautiful thing was born from a hideous and terrifying zombie.
[A low-level energy source has been discovered. Should we choose to recharge?]
The system notification sounded, but Xu Milu did not answer. She simply rinsed the dirt off the surface of the crystal core with water and tried to crush it with her hands, but the thing was harder than she expected.
The host can place it on the injured area of the patient for absorption; the energy source in this world seems to be purer than that on Earth.
Indeed, sometimes you have to admit that nature is truly amazing.
Just to be on the safe side, Xu Milu killed two more mutated zombies and found the same crystal core in their brains.
These zombies are faster and stronger, and there is no trace of a crystal core in the brains of ordinary zombies.
She tried placing the crystal core on the spot where Suhe had been bitten. At first, there was no reaction, but something magical happened. As the crystal core gradually turned gray, the boy's body temperature gradually decreased until his breathing became steady.
Xu Milu didn't blink and used all the crystal cores on Su He. Dou Dou, who was standing to the side, didn't know what she was doing, but seeing Su He's complexion gradually improve, she finally couldn't help but bury her head in Xu Milu's arms.
"Waaaaah, brother won't die, right?"
“I promised to send you to a shelter, and I won’t go back on my word.”
Xu Milu rubbed Dou Dou's head and, seeing that Su He's breathing on the bed was gradually stabilizing, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
...
...
Suhe's condition did not worsen, but he remained in a deep sleep. During this time, his hair, fingernails, and teeth all fell out to varying degrees. By the fourth day, he had begun to grow new teeth.
Xu Milu completely believed in the system's "evolution theory".
Nature is so wondrous; it created the zombie virus to destroy humanity, but it also gave humanity the opportunity to evolve.
"Xiao Qi, perhaps I should reconsider the issues between us."
The system seemed to realize something, and a hint of confusion crept into its electronic voice:
[This matter has been successfully resolved, and the host has solved the problem with minimal loss.]
"No, the greatest benefit of this whole thing is being able to save a life."
Xu Milu shook her head slightly:
“I don’t know what you’ve been through, but I can see that you’re studying and researching humanity. If you want to become a true mechanical life form, the first thing you need to do is learn to understand the weight of ‘life’.”
According to the "Interstellar Plane Law," a system must possess human-like emotions, the ability to think independently, and an independent body to become a qualified mechanical life form. Only then will the Interstellar Federation recognize the mechanical life form's first-class citizen status. The system is currently just a program, but I am learning.
The system seemed slightly confused:
My previous host didn't teach me any of this, so I'm simply operating according to basic principles—I'll use the host as an object of observation, trying to understand the implications of this profound proposition.
"Okay, perhaps looking at the problem from a different perspective will help you find the answer."
Xu Milu shrugged.

On the eighth day after setting off, the RV was getting closer and closer to City A. Su He had also completely transformed in his sleep. He had grown a new layer of black hair and could see his light blue scalp. This time, he had grown a total of twenty-eight teeth, each of which was exceptionally sharp. His skin had become whiter, and even the tiny blood vessels could be vaguely seen. His nails had also become sharp, enough to easily tear apart the throats of wild beasts.
Although he still looks handsome, Xu Milu knows that something has completely changed.
