The zombie collapsed shortly after the steel needle pierced its forehead. To be on the safe side, Qin Lun slashed the zombie's neck a few times until its head completely fell to the ground before they were relieved.
Yu Chaoyang was very surprised to see Qin Lun's prowess firsthand: "He wasn't even afraid of venom."
Yuan Jin didn't know Qin Lun's background, but he thought this "pet" was very magical and powerful, and could even help its owner fight monsters: "Yes, your partner is amazing."
Mu Wenxi: "Of course, he is the best in the world."
Yu Chaoyang: "Let's go, let's keep killing."
It wasn't until the sun was almost setting that the group, exhausted, decided to end the day's battle. Yuan Jin found a car, and the four of them rode back to the base, bringing back a bunch of crystal cores and some food.
Yu Chaoyang opened the map and began to review today's actions: "We have unlocked the southeast area of this city. Including the areas we had previously explored, we have now unlocked the entire eastern region."
After he finished speaking, he realized that no one was responding to him, so he looked up and saw Yuan Jin looking at Qin Lun with an expression of admiration, while Mu Wenxi was using his fingers as a comb to clean the hair off Qin Lun's body.
Yu Chaoyang sighed and took out today's crystal cores from his pocket, then looked at Mu Wenxi and said, "You can divide today's crystal cores among yourself."
Mu Wenxi: "There are exactly four fourth-order crystal cores, one for each of you. We'll take thirty red crystal cores, and you can take all the rest."
Yu Chaoyang looked at the remaining crystal cores and saw that there were at least a hundred left: "This is not appropriate."
Mu Wenxi said indifferently, "You have more people. Only if you grow stronger quickly will we be more confident in penetrating this city."
Yu Chaoyang and Yuan Jin's eyes darkened; they couldn't refute the fact that she was right.
Mu Wenxi suddenly remembered something and looked up: "I forgot to ask, why do you always wear such bright colors?"
Yu Chaoyang: "These are the clothes we prepared when we came. At that time, in order to protect the people, we had to attract the zombies so that others would have a better chance to escape."
Mu Wenxi: "Just as I expected. Okay, please ask Brother Shui to get us some water later."
Yu Chaoyang: "No problem."
This time, the crystal cores in his hand were a bit hot to handle. Almost every brother received nearly ten crystal cores. Yu Chaoyang and Yuan Jin specially watched over the other brothers so that they could absorb the crystal cores in time. That night, many people were close to the next level or were on the verge of leveling up.
Yuan Jin was also overjoyed: "Captain, I've finally reached level five!"
Yuan Jin had been stuck at the top of the fourth tier for a long time. Yu Chaoyang was happy for him and patted Yuan Jin on the shoulder, saying, "Good lad."
Brother Shui was also pleasantly surprised to find that he had advanced: "Damn, my superpower that had been stagnant for half a year has actually leveled up! I'm finally at level four! I can have more water now."
Brother Niu: "Captain, let us participate more in the next event. We can't let you kill zombies for us all by yourself."
"Yes, we are a team. We live together and we die together."
Yu Chaoyang secretly reached out and wiped away her tears.
When the apocalypse came, the original army of fifty men, most of whom had superpowers, lost about ten men after entering the city. Of the remaining thirty or so, some died at the hands of zombies before they could even level up.
Some were lucky enough to survive by becoming stronger, but they soon died from high-level zombies. After more than a year, their team was reduced to less than ten people.
Of these ten people, only he was at level five and Yuan Jin was at level four. The other brothers were all at level three. When there were few zombies, they could fight them off, but when there were many, they were no match for the zombies outside and could only wait to die.
Fortunately, fortunately, Yu Chaoyang smiled. At least now they could still put up a fight.
Mu Wenxi returned to her room, took out food, and shared it with her grandmother and Xiaoxing. The two of them were getting restless after being cooped up at home all day, especially Xiaoxing.
As soon as Xiaoxing saw Mu Wenxi return, she rushed up to her, very happy: "Sister, you're back! Can I go fight zombies with you tomorrow?"
Mu Wenxi patted Xiaoxing's head: "You're already at the fourth level, aren't you? Absorb some more crystal cores tonight, and tomorrow I'll take you and the other older brothers out, how about that?"
Xiao Xing: "Okay."
Grandma watched this heartwarming scene with a smile.
That night, the group absorbed the crystal cores. Mu Wenxi and Xiao Xing improved their abilities slightly, but did not advance in rank. Qin Lun, on the other hand, remained unchanged.
Mu Wenxi had already anticipated this, but Qin Lun was rather quiet. In the past, it was always Mu Wenxi who was anxious, but tonight it was the other way around.
Mu Wenxi thought for a moment and then asked, "Are you worried?"
Qin Lun wagged his tail: "It's alright."
Mu Wenxi looked at him for a while, trying to see what expression on his face. Qin Lun saw what she was thinking and buried his face in the quilt, which looked rather cute.
Mu Wenxi smiled and said, "If he doesn't want to talk about it, then he doesn't have to. It's okay." She hugged Qin Lun tightly and they fell asleep together.
In the middle of the night, Qin Lun suddenly became restless and opened his eyes in the darkness.
Sensing his dangerous state, Mu Wenxi opened her eyes, got up, rolled out of bed, and woke up her grandmother and Xiaoxing in the next room: "There are zombies coming, let's go downstairs first."
Qin Lun jumped downstairs and stared in one direction, his body covered in spikes and his tail standing straight up.
There were two brothers who were on night watch in the hall. They were startled and confused when Qin Lun suddenly rushed down.
A few seconds later, Mu Wenxi appeared in front of them and said quickly, "There are zombies. Be on high alert. Go and wake up the others."
Yu Chaoyang was a light sleeper, and upon noticing the commotion outside, he immediately got up: "What's going on?"
Mu Wenxi: "Qin Lun sensed that unidentified zombies were approaching our direction."
The others quickly assembled in the hall, each holding a weapon, ready to fight.
Mu Wenxi conveyed Qin Lun's meaning: "Fifty meters."
"Ten meters."
Everyone held their breath, but after a while the zombies didn't appear. Qin Lun stared at the doorway with some confusion and waited for a while. Suddenly, he roared in the direction of the doorway.
Mu Wenxi raised the watermelon knife in his hand, while the others looked serious.
The next second, a zombie roared from the doorway. Qin Lun pricked up his ears, took a few steps closer, and shouted again. A response came from the doorway.
The others were a bit confused, not knowing what Qin Lun and the zombies were doing.
Yuan Jin asked the question that everyone was thinking: "What are they doing? Your partner can even communicate with zombies?"
Qin Lun turned around and glanced at Mu Wenxi, who said, "Everyone, please don't attack yet."
Yu Chaoyang put down his weapon, and the other brothers looked at him and then put down their weapons as well.
Qin Lun stood in front of the gate and made a strange sound towards the outside, and the zombie outside responded with a sound.
