Although the initial zombies are slow to react, their numbers are huge, and such a large number of initial zombies is still very scary.
Survivor bases often encounter attacks from low-level zombies controlled by high-level zombies. Survivors call this a zombie horde. Many strong bases, even with abundant weapons and many superhumans, cannot withstand such hordes of low-level zombies. This shows that quantitative change can lead to qualitative change.
When Han Lingxi arrived, the battle was nearing its end. The low-level zombies had almost depleted the number of those ability users, and then the high-level zombie made its move. However, those people still drove away, and not all of them escaped; only three people managed to get away.
The ones who escaped were the third-tier ability user and two second-tier ability users. Seeing that there were too many zombies and a third-tier zombie had appeared, they chose to sacrifice the weak. They pushed out the ordinary people without abilities to attract the zombies, reducing the number of zombies around the car so that the car could drive away smoothly.
Ordinary zombies are naturally attracted by the scent of living people, but the third-level zombie's original target was the superhuman, so it naturally wouldn't give up and chased after the car. When the people saw the third-level zombie relentlessly pursuing them, they finally pushed a second-level superhuman out of the car, which made the third-level zombie stop, and the three of them escaped successfully.
Those ordinary people who were pushed out and the superhuman who was betrayed by his companion naturally became food for the zombies.
Han Lingxi coldly watched as the people were devoured by zombies, emitting painful screams, but she had no intention of helping. Not to mention that she was incapable of helping, even if she were, what could she do? She was just a zombie now. If she helped them, would they accept her? Wouldn't they turn around and kill her after she helped them? Obviously, it was impossible.
Humans can abandon even their own companions so easily, let alone someone like her who is different. And are those who are abandoned kind? Not necessarily. They are abandoned simply because they are weak and can only be placed in a position to be manipulated. If they were strong enough, and were made to be among those who escaped, they might make the same decision. Han Lingxi suddenly felt that in the apocalypse, what is more terrifying than zombies is humanity.
The third-tier zombie had already killed the second-tier ability user, dug out the crystal core, and was crunching it in its mouth. After finishing the crystal core, it began to eat the ability user's internal organs.
Han Lingxi couldn't bear the bloody scene and turned her gaze away. Suddenly, she noticed a lot of first-tier crystal cores where the car had just stopped. They must have been left behind by the superhumans after they killed the zombies.
First and second-tier zombies don't know they can increase their power through crystal cores. They only find out when they reach the third tier by eating human flesh. And that third-tier zombie no longer needs the first-tier crystal cores, so these leftover crystal cores naturally benefited Han Lingxi.
Seeing that the third-tier zombie was focused on eating and wouldn't notice her, Han Lingxi walked to the spot where the crystal cores were scattered and began to pick them up and absorb them. After absorbing forty or fifty cores, Han Lingxi felt a white current flowing through her body. After it flowed through her entire body, she felt indescribably comfortable. Han Lingxi knew that she had probably advanced.
Han Lingxi moved her hands and feet and felt that they were no longer so stiff; she was even more flexible than an average human.
