"Bang--" the steel ball flew out and went straight to the zombie's head.
But somehow, the target zombie took two steps and raised his arm. The steel ball hit the arm and bounced back.
Su Han was quite helpless. She had noticed on the first day of the game that only attacking the zombie's head would cause real damage. Attacking other parts of the body would not reduce the zombie's physical strength.
At the same time, the zombie that was attacked became enraged. It roared and rushed towards Su Han.
Su Han remained calm and continued shooting.
Hit once, hit twice, hit three times... The zombie turned into white light just after it had walked half the distance.
Su Han looked around and found that the other zombies didn't care about their companions disappearing and were still wandering around. She immediately felt more relieved and continued to kill the zombies one by one.
Half an hour later, all the zombies were cleared.
Yuanyuan watched quietly from the side without saying a word.
Su Han walked to the barrel, opened it, and found that it was indeed filled with diesel. A barrel was 100L, and there were 40 barrels around him.
After thinking for a while, she quickly came up with an idea. She handed over two pieces of black bread and a bottle of milk, and said casually, "The employment is over. This is the reward. You can go back first." Anyway, she remembered the way back carefully when she came here, so she didn't have to go with him.
"Thank you." After receiving the food, Yuanyuan's smile suddenly became extremely bright. Then, she ran away without any hesitation.
After waiting for a while and confirming that Yuanyuan had gone far away and there was no one else nearby except himself, Su Han put the 40 oil barrels into his portable warehouse.
Considering that the oil drums are large in size and take up a lot of space, she simply put all the oil drums in one grid.

The lucky guy got the crystal and successfully exchanged it for 100 kilograms of rice!
The news spread like a tornado, sweeping across the entire shelter. In just one night, all the residents in the outer circle heard about it.
Many people are envious and jealous, "How come it's not me who gets hit by the pie falling from the sky?"
Many others were eager to try and prepare to hunt zombies. They thought in their hearts that if others could get the crystal, they could certainly do it too, and their efforts would definitely not be in vain.
At this time, new news came - the lucky guy from last night got into the inner circle, and (through connections) found a decent job with enough salary to make ends meet. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to live comfortably in the inner circle from now on.
When the news came out, residents in the outer circle became emotional and almost went crazy.
A safe living environment, a stable job, and a generous salary are all that ordinary people in the last days are looking for! As long as you are lucky enough to find a crystal, your life will be reversed immediately!
This is equivalent to playing the lottery before the end of the world. Once you win the jackpot, everything you want will be at your fingertips.
Can't wait, can't wait to get rich! Must act now! Residents, either in groups or alone, actively search for traces of zombies.
Those with average living conditions dug pits, made wooden arrows and spears. Those with a little more money bought bullets directly from the stock exchange, rented cars, and rushed out.
At this point, a large-scale zombie hunting activity began.
**
"Idiot, over here." Yang Yongkang took out a small stone from his pocket and smashed it hard on the zombie.
"Roar——" The zombie was enraged and walked quickly towards Yang Yongkang.
"Finally they followed." Yang Yongkang was not in a hurry at all, but instead had a hint of excitement in his eyes. He had already set up a trap nearby, just waiting for the zombies to step into it.
At first, he was very scared, but after successfully luring and killing two zombies, he found that if he controlled the number, a single zombie was not as scary as he imagined.
Although the head is the only weak point and attacks on the rest of the body are useless, zombies move slowly and have extremely low IQs, so they can be easily lured into traps.
As long as the target is trapped, there are many ways to attack.
Yang Yongkang shouted and seduced at the same time.
Soon, the zombies fell into the pit with a plop.
Yang Yongkang chuckled, took out a wooden spear and stabbed it into the zombie's head.
After being hit several times, the zombies turned into white light.
Yang Yongkang lowered his head and looked carefully. After a long time, he muttered in disappointment, "Still nothing..."
Although he was frustrated, he was not discouraged. People had said early on that the possibility of finding the crystal was not high. As long as he continued to hunt, he would find the crystal one day.
Thinking about how his life had turned around after he discovered the crystal and how he had gradually reached the peak of his life, he couldn't help but smile foolishly, immersed in beautiful fantasies.
Before he could finish his words, a zombie suddenly pounced on him from behind. Yang Yongkang was startled and wanted to resist, but it was too late.
The zombie bit Yang Yongkang's neck. In an instant, a layer of skin was torn off the wound, and blood gushed out.
Yang Yongkang endured the pain, pierced the zombie's head with a wooden spear, and hit the zombie's neck hard.
Soon, the zombies turned into white light.
Yang Yongkang fell to the ground, dying, the only thought in his mind was - he was finished.

Just after 12 noon, a man in a white coat appeared outside the shelter and asked in a cold voice, "The medicine has been prepared. Is anyone willing to try it in public?"
I asked three times in a row, but no one answered. It's not that there was no one around, but there were many people watching, but they were only willing to watch.
No one wanted to taste the potion, after all, the raw material was said to be dug out from the brains of zombies. Who knew if this thing could cure diseases or spread viruses? Unless they saw the potion take effect with their own eyes, the residents would always feel uneasy.
The man in the white coat frowned and was about to speak when he was interrupted by someone, "This man has been bitten by a zombie, why not use him to test the medicine?" After saying that, he waved his hand.
Immediately, someone carried a stretcher and brought the patient to the man in the white coat.
The patient was Yang Yongkang.
At this time, his face was pale, his lips were blue, his whole body was trembling, his wounds were festering, and there was a faint odor floating around, which showed that the situation was very bad.
The man in the white coat nodded, "It's him." He helped the man up and fed the medicine to the patient little by little.
As soon as the medicine was taken, Yang Yongkang's face quickly turned rosy. The blue color on his lips gradually faded, and the wound quickly scabbed over.
After a while, the patient's breathing became steady and he lay on the stretcher as if he was asleep.
After a careful inspection, the doctor in the white coat solemnly announced, "It's all right now. You'll be healthy again after a short rest."
There were exclamations and the onlookers stared with wide eyes, unable to believe what was happening before their eyes.
However, as if that wasn't enough, the man in the white coat dropped another bombshell, "The first three residents who bring in crystal stones will receive a bottle of potion. There are still two spots left, so come on, everyone."
The eyes of the onlookers suddenly turned green, full of enthusiasm. The medicine that can cure the virus is more valuable than a hundred kilograms of rice! How much supplies can be exchanged for it at the exchange?
...This question is too difficult and I don’t know how to calculate it!
However, the value of the medicine is unquestionable.
"Only two spots left." Someone muttered and left in a hurry. It seemed that they were trying to race against time to hunt zombies and grab a spot.
Su Han watched and sighed. No matter how hard these people tried, they could not get the crystal. They tried their best and sincerely prayed for good luck, but in the end it was all in vain.
"How's the matter going?" Unconsciously, Zhong Rui stood next to his friend.
"We found several barrels of diesel. We can even burn down the shelter." Su Han replied in a low voice.
"Not bad." Zhong Rui showed approval.
"What about you? Any progress?" Su Han asked.
"The number of people on the other team is currently unknown. I heard that they have agreed to sell the antidote to the exchange, but the specific transaction time has not been determined. The statement to the outside world is that the progress of obtaining crystals determines the progress of potion preparation, which cannot be controlled by human power." Zhong Rui said softly.
"It sounds like they plan to trade after clearing the zombies and making sure they have passed the level." Su Han analyzed.
"Based on the behavior of these guys so far, I guess the possibility of an honest transaction is zero. They should be planning to rob and run, and then quickly escape from the dungeon."
"This way, the resupply is completed smoothly, and there is no need to pay for vitality drugs."
Zhong Rui nodded, "It's possible."
After thinking about it, Su Han felt something was wrong. She looked at her friend in confusion, "Where did you get the news? Is it reliable?"
"The fat manager of the exchange said so." Zhong Rui said calmly.
Su Han was even more confused, "Why would he tell you?"
Zhong Rui smiled slightly. "I pretended to be a researcher conducting virus experiments and gave him some drugs privately. He told me everything he knew. That guy is not a man of integrity, so it's no wonder he can't keep secrets."
Even if Fatty was loyal to the exchange, he couldn't resist the temptation of getting rich. Nowadays, the price of medicine is more expensive than gold, and Zhong Rui's casual benefits are enough to make him benefit endlessly.
"Just because you said you were a scientific researcher, he believed it?" Su Han felt that the fat man was a little naive.
Zhong Rui remained calm and said, "I have many different kinds of drugs on hand. This is the best proof."
Su Han was speechless for a moment, she found herself speechless.
Zhong Rui looked into the distance and sighed leisurely, "Since the other party plans to clear out the zombies before resupplying, there is no need to rush. There is still plenty of time."
**
On the second night, no one took out the crystal to exchange.
At 9:00 a.m. on the third day, the system's mechanical voice announced, "There are 986 players, 3,123 NPCs, and 40,149 zombies remaining in Shelter I22 (the server where the player is located)."
That night, the second and third lucky winners stood out and each successfully exchanged for 100 kilograms of rice and medicine.
At 9:00 a.m. on the 4th day, the system's mechanical voice announced, "There are 972 players, 2,675 NPCs, and 27,632 zombies remaining in Shelter I22 (the server where the player is located)."
The number of residents and zombies is decreasing rapidly. On the other hand, players are also gradually affected.
"Clear the zombies, search for supplies, and exchange them in the shelter. If you're lucky, you can get crystals and food supplies. It's quite a routine. But the routine is good and ingenious. New tricks every day, it's almost exhausting." The player who found the shelter on the third day had no idea what was going on and simply took the scam as part of the rules of the game.
"Compared to running around and searching houses, only to find strange things, it seems easier to just kill zombies. On the one hand, it can reduce the pressure in the later stages of the game. On the other hand, after the crystals explode, you can get a lot of food, and after eating and drinking, you can fill the warehouse." Someone failed to see through the scam and easily accepted the statement that there were crystals in the zombies' brains. Then, he thought about it based on the wrong information and naturally came to the wrong conclusion.
"The brave ones chop zombies and eat their meat, while the timid ones search for supplies and drink soup. The game provides two branch lines, which is very flexible. We can search carefully while clearing out the zombies along the way. It won't delay anything anyway." Some conservatives made the decision, wanting to balance risks and benefits.
I tell so many lies that I can't tell the truth from the lies.
At this time, most players had already accepted the crystal's setting and were actively thinking about countermeasures. Only a very small number of people remained silent and had other plans.
