Chapter 172: Ready-made corpse, absorbing crystal cores
A breeze blew, cool and refreshing.
But today's weather is not very good. The sun is hidden behind thick dark clouds, so it is quite cool.
The three of them walked lightly, trying to avoid making too much noise and attracting the zombies.
Aiming at several ordinary zombies in the distance, they stepped on the ground and continued to move forward.
Along the way, we encountered quite a few zombies, but not a single mutant.
Although there was a lot of noise in the morning, it shouldn't attract all the mutants.
What's more, before setting off, they actually saw the situation on the streets outside through the surveillance camera.
There are still a few mutants.
However, the locations of the zombies are relatively scattered. Generally speaking, where there are many corpses, there are zombies.
Lin Qin looked at the direction, then gestured to Wei Lan and Zhang Xue to move forward.
Their pace couldn't help but quicken. If there was a place with a lot of corpses that could attract the zombies' attention, it would definitely be human corpses.
A lot of people died in Lanxiang Lake a few days ago.
I walked to the crossroads and killed quite a few ordinary zombies along the way.
Zhang Xue and Wei Lan were responsible for keeping watch and checking the specific situation around them, while Lin Qin took out the fire axe, aimed it at the head of the fallen zombie at his feet, and swung it hard.
The inside of a zombie's skull is not that good. It's filled with paste of all colors and it smells really bad.
But apart from these things, there is nothing else I want.
Lin Qin put away the axe and went to the next zombie and swung it again, but nothing.
Lin Qin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and looked at the mutant corpse not far away.
These mutants were the ones Nan Wei had encountered before.
He was the one who killed him by firing a rocket launcher from a distance.
The whole body is not complete, but fortunately, the head is still there.
Lin Qin is not picky, as long as he has brains, it's fine.
This crystal core should not disappear just because of the mutant's corpse.
Lin Qin raised the fire axe, took aim, and then chopped down with all his might.
There was a crisp sound in the white brain matter.
The crystal core fell on the asphalt road.
A light green crystal core appeared in sight.
Lin Qin took out the crystal core, then took out a bottle of water from the storage space, rinsed the crystal core, and picked it up.
The crystal core is crystal clear and refracts different light.
Zhang Xue and Wei Lan looked over here while observing the situation in other places.
"This thing really looks like crystal."
Zhang Xue couldn't help but sigh.
From a visual point of view, it is indeed the case.
But it was too dark last time, and the images seen through the night vision goggles were not as colorful as those seen during the day.
This time, it is a bit more intuitive.
However, no one knows why this thing exists in the zombie’s brain.
She had only heard of gallstones, lung stones, and kidney stones, but had never heard of brain stones.
And at the moment, it seems that only mutants have these things in their heads.
Lin Qin is so persistent in finding this thing, maybe it has some use.
However, she looked left and right, up and down, but she just couldn't figure out what was so special about this thing.
If we say that a beautiful stone growing in the brain is a rather special existence.
Lin Qin put the crystal core directly into his own space, then looked at the bodies of the other two mutants and swung the fire axe again.
After several consecutive blows, the mutant's head was chopped off.
A crystal core was also revealed inside.
There are three mutants, two of which have crystal cores.
But ordinary zombies don't have that.
It seems that the mutant is the zombie that possesses the crystal core.
After rinsing himself, Lin Qin moved closer to where Zhang Xue and Wei Lan were.
Then, the three of them squatted behind the scrap car, and Lin Qin took out the crystal core.
Now he has two crystal cores. After one copy, it becomes four, and after another copy, it becomes eight.
Lin Qin took out two of them, gave one to Zhang Xue and one to Wei Lan.
"You two put this in your palms and try to feel it."
Zhang Xue and Wei Lan looked at each other, not quite understanding what Lin Qin meant.
It's just a broken stone, taken from a zombie's body. Wouldn't there be any other problems?
The viruses on these corpses are quite serious.
However, out of trust, the two of them reached out and took the crystal core that Lin Qin handed over.
The crystal core is cold, a bit like glass.
There is no difference.
Lying intact in the palm of my hand.
Wei Lan looked at the crystal core in his palm, then looked at Lin Qin.
The same is true for Zhang Xue.
"What is this for? Feeling life?"
Looking at the crystal core that showed no reaction, Lin Qin frowned, then took out a crystal core.
The crystal core was placed in the palm of the hand, and it completely disappeared after a while.
And in my mind, the system prompt sound rang again.
[Progress 2%]
No problem.
Absorption is normal, could it be that the way of absorption is wrong?
Lin Qin carefully recalled the various details he had absorbed, and then made a bold guess.
Zhang Xue and Wei Lan watched the crystal core in Lin Qin's palm suddenly disappear.
The two people were stunned.
"No, what's going on? What's the principle?"
Zhang Xue reached out and touched Lin Qin's hand, trying to check the specific situation.
However, nothing could be seen.
"You two hold the crystal cores and imagine absorbing them."
Lin Qin gave some instructions.
Zhang Xue and Wei Lan followed suit.
The crystal core in the palm of his hand disappeared unexpectedly quickly.
Seeing this, Lin Qin showed an expression of sudden enlightenment on his face.
Even ordinary people like Zhang Xue and Wei Lan can absorb the crystal core.
This means that ordinary people also have the opportunity to gain abilities.
This is good news.
As long as I can become stronger, it won't be a problem.
But since Zhang Xue and Wei Lan can do it, does it mean that other survivors can do it too?
If the other survivors can do it, then has anyone discovered the crystal core in the mutant's brain? Has anyone gained different abilities?
Lin Qin's thoughts were in a whirlwind, and he felt that the crisis was approaching quickly.
It would be a lie for Zhang Xue to say to Wei Lan that she was not surprised. Such a big item was gone just like that.
"Lin Qin, this is..."
Zhang Xue's words seemed a little frivolous and a little unbelievable.
Wei Lan wasn't much better either.
She received formal education and never believed in these empty things.
What she saw now overturned her usual perceptions.
It's all fake, it's all illusion, it's all superstition.
Wei Lan couldn't help but speak silently, trying to brainwash and smooth over what he had just seen.
She couldn't help but close her eyes and take a deep breath.
When I opened my eyes again, the situation had not changed at all.
Even Wei Lan, who was usually calm, couldn't help but speak.
“What is… happening?”
