Chapter 18 Advanced.
Above their heads, a soft voice rang out: "My land, are you the ones who attracted the zombies here?"
The two looked up when they heard the voice, and were stunned at the same time, their eyes wide open.
A woman slowly walked down the stairs. Her long black hair was simply tied into a low ponytail and rested on her shoulders. At first glance, she was not particularly stunningly beautiful, but she was indeed a beauty with delicate features.
She has a unique temperament, a gentle feeling that tolerates everything. The corners of her lips are raised, and there is an indulgent smile in her eyes when she looks at people, as if she can forgive anyone for doing anything wrong.
Because they looked at people with a foolish look on their faces without saying anything, the flying yellow dust covered their faces.
Shu Lan chuckled and said, "Earth-type mutant, Chu Yi, what about you?"
He took off his glasses and brushed off the dirt on them. He was not angry, but grinned foolishly and said, "My name is Patrick Star, no, my name is Jiang Jie."
The other man didn't answer directly, but asked Shu Lan: "Why are you here alone?"
Shu Lan gently pushed the expressionless Shu Maomao behind her toward them: "He's not alone, he's also my son."
"You had a kid with you! How did you survive? Were any teammates nearby?"
Shu Lan put away her smile, her expression becoming desolate. She said softly, "I don't have any teammates. My husband took our only car when he fled here. I couldn't go very far, so I hid in the house with the children. I only ventured out when our stockpiled supplies were almost used up."
Patrick suddenly became furious and yelled, "Your husband is such a jerk!"
Shu Lan thought to herself, I'm sorry, my non-existent husband.
She sighed as if letting go. "Let's not talk about him anymore. I'm sorry you're so late. I live nearby, and I've already used up most of the food and supplies in this mall. The only thing I dare not open is the warehouse downstairs because it seems there are zombies in it."
At this moment, a tall man shouted downstairs in a deep voice: "Patrick? Wild Dog?"
"Yes, Captain, we are on the third floor. It's safe. A girl with earth-related abilities saved us."
Shu Lan nodded: "So your name is Wild Dog, that sounds cool, is it a unified code name?"
The wild dog's face flushed with praise: "It's all Patrick's fault. My real name is Li Jingshan. Our captain, He Sheng, is downstairs. Your dirt will block him, so you'd better move away first."
Shu Lan hesitated and said, "But there are still zombies inside."
Patrick said, "It's okay. Our captain will handle it even if he's released. Thank you, Chu... could you tell me your age?"
Shu Lan said, "I'm thirty-one."
They were both shocked at the same time: "What! You're over 30? You look like you're in your early twenties."
Shu Lan, who was actually in her early twenties, smiled and said, "Everyone says I look young, so I'll remove all the dirt."
She secretly squeezed the hand on Shu Maomao's shoulder, and the soil that trapped the zombie began to loosen, flying up the stairs as if time was going backwards.
Shu Lan pretended to be weak, covered Shu Maomao's eyes and turned away.
The zombies who had just regained their freedom were still struggling subconsciously, and the next second they were greeted by sharp blades. The stairs marked the safe passage turned into a cruel guillotine.
Fortunately, the zombies' blood does not spray out, but only flows out quietly. Otherwise, the blood splattered everywhere and the broken limbs and heads would make the scene even more terrifying.
Shu Maomao heard their voices as soon as the team appeared two kilometers away.
Shu Lan drove the SUV closer to the group of people. Seeing a large shopping mall, she guessed that this might be their destination, so she left the car and used her earth-based abilities to open an underground passage, sneaking in first to wait for them.
If someone goes to the side door, they will find that there are several special plants called zombies planted on the road.
The zombie that just rushed into the corridor followed her all the way in from the side door of the mall and was shaken off by Shu Maomao using her supernatural powers.
After suffering a loss, Shu Lan gained experience. The weak have no say. Only by showing strength first and gaining fear and respect can they have an equal negotiating position.
So she showed her supernatural powers first, and the other party's attitude was indeed different from that of the last group of people.
Hearing the zombies' roars quickly disappear, she also evaluated the strength of this group of people.
They are a team of psychics who are very agile and won't die easily.
"Okay, Sister Chu, you can come down now."
Shu Lan took the child downstairs and saw a cruel scene. Patrick was bending down to smash a zombie's skull and searching for something in the turbid brain matter. The other two people were doing the same.
Shu Lan didn't approach directly, but stood upstairs and asked vigilantly, "What are you doing?"
A group of perverts who like to dismember corpses?
He Sheng raised his head. He had a tough and handsome face with superior bone structure, a high nose bridge and sharp facial lines, giving people a cold feeling.
Seeing Shu Lan's appearance, he was also stunned for a moment, but he was not as out of control as the previous two people.
He was about to explain when Patrick spoke up, "Sister Chu, haven't you been listening to the radio in recent years? The disaster emergency department emphasizes every day that when clearing zombies, you must try to find a white stone called a crystal core from their heads. If other zombies eat enough crystal cores, they will evolve into more powerful, higher-level zombies."
Shu Lan saw the wild dog dig out a stone from the zombie's broken head, and with a look of disgust on her face, she took out a plastic bag and picked it up with her hands.
She hadn't heard the broadcast, but she had seen this kind of stone in the space she had robbed before.
"I'm sorry, I don't have a radio at home, so I don't know a lot of things. Can you describe to me what a high-level zombie looks like?"
He Sheng opened his mouth again, but couldn't say anything. Patrick's mouth spewed out words like a machine gun: "Let me give you an example. These are ordinary zombies. They basically move in a straight line, and their skills are biting and scratching. They come out at nightfall and wander aimlessly in the moonlight. When daybreak comes, they go indoors. They can't think or avoid attacks. They are divided into levels by numbers. They are level one zombies. Level two zombies are equivalent to special forces soldiers who can think but have no special abilities. Their physical strength and agility are greatly improved. They can ambush, hide, and use tools."
Shu Lan opened her mouth in surprise: "Ah, then wouldn't the third-level one be even more powerful?"
"Yes, level three zombies awaken their special abilities and regain their ability to think. Running on rooftops and walls, escaping into the sky and hiding underground are no problem for them. A single level three zombie is equivalent to the strength of a team of special abilities, and they all have to be combat-oriented special abilities. Just imagine, they're not afraid of pain or death, and they have both strength and brains. How terrifying."
"Is that so? That's really scary."
Shu Lan's worldview has been refreshed. Zombies can actually evolve!
There are seven zombies on the ground, three of them have crystal cores in their brains. The probability is not low. If the psychics do not recover them, the world will sooner or later be dominated by zombies that continue to advance and become stronger.
She thought that after a few years, the situation of mankind would get better, but it sounded even worse.
Wild Dog asked, "Captain, I unlocked the warehouse and let the locals out?"
He Sheng nodded and stared at the warehouse door intently.
While Shu Lan was still wondering how they were going to open the door, the door lock opened automatically. As soon as a crack appeared, two female zombies in supermarket work clothes rushed out and pounced on He Sheng, who was closest to the door.
He Sheng disappeared from the spot, and before the zombies could even react, he appeared behind them, slashed their heads with one blow, and ended the battle.
Shu Lan's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "What a fast move! Is your captain's ability teleportation?"
