Chen Peng noticed that Feng Lin was looking at them, and his tone towards Jian Meng softened.
He said in a gentle voice, "Mengmeng, go get it. Let's go into the safe zone first. It's getting dark. Look, their ability level is about the same as mine, and there are quite a few of them. Do we two have the ability to stop them? My mental energy is severely depleted. Go get it."
Upon hearing this, Jian Meng glanced at the group of people who were fighting each other. Almost all of them were level five or six ability users, and there were many of them.
Chen Peng's current mental strength is indeed insufficient to join the melee.
Jian Meng pondered for a while, then ran up to Feng Lin and asked, "Since you're the manager here, why didn't you stop them? What if they get injured or die and mutate into zombies?"
When Chen Peng saw her run to Feng Lin for help, he cursed under his breath, "Idiot."
Feng Lin glanced coldly at Jian Meng and said indifferently, "It's none of my business. Whoever hands over enough crystal cores can get in."
"How can you be so cold-blooded!" Jian Meng exclaimed angrily.
Feng Lin looked at her coldly and said, "Get out."
After hearing his words, Jian Meng walked back to Chen Peng's side with a blank look in her eyes.
Chen Peng ignored her. He saw a complete backpack on the ground, which probably contained a lot of crystal cores.
Suddenly, several bolts of lightning struck, and the fighting superpowered individuals fell silent.
Taking this opportunity, Chen Peng stepped forward, picked up the backpack, and walked up to Feng Lin.
"Are two people enough?" Chen Peng asked with a provocative smile.
Looking at his expression, Feng Lin suddenly remembered someone... Lü Wendong.
At that moment, Jian Meng, who was standing not far away, came back to her senses.
Wasn't she just talking to that white-haired man?
How did you suddenly end up standing here?
She remembered that he had psychic abilities; it must be that he was controlling her.
Jian Meng grew angrier the more she thought about it. She looked decent enough, but her personality was so awful.
Several superhumans felt excruciating pain in the areas where they had been electrocuted, and their skin had even darkened. They cursed, "Damn it, they dare to steal my crystal core?!"
As they spoke, the group moved forward to grab Chen Peng.
Chen Peng stood still as lightning struck the group of people again from the sky.
He said arrogantly, "This crystal core isn't yours. The person is dead, so whoever gets it gets it."
Chen Peng's ability level was not low, and the other ability users, having exhausted their mental energy, dared not confront him directly.
Feng Lin had enough crystal cores, so he stepped aside.
Just as Chen Peng was about to go in, his body suddenly froze and he was unable to move.
Feng Lin casually asked, "What's your name?"
"Chen... Peng..." Chen Peng said his name blankly.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual, Feng Lin withdrew his mental control and said, "Go in."
No one noticed that he was using superpowers.
Jane dreamt that the fighting had stopped, but there were a few injured people, and she felt a surge of sympathy.
"Chen Peng!" she called out to Chen Peng.
But Chen Peng acted as if he hadn't heard anything, and was taken to the testing room for examination after entering the safe zone.
Once inside the safe zone, Chen Peng's eyes flashed with a sinister glint.
Feng Lin frowned, perhaps he was overthinking things.
However, just in case, he still needed to investigate Lü Wendong's current situation.
Jian Meng stepped forward to help the injured and treat them.
"Miss, you're so kind, thank you." The man looked her up and down with ill intent.
Jian Meng smiled and said, "It was no trouble at all."
Feng Lin frowned as he watched Jian Meng's actions.
The person who came in for testing was actually not injured when the test was conducted.
His elbow was black, like a birthmark, but his blood test results were normal.
But if you look closely, the dark, birthmark-like area is spreading very slowly.
Feng Lin became suspicious and had the testing personnel perform dialysis on the blood from the blackened areas.
It turned out that the blood was infected with the zombie virus.
After the test results came out, the needle marks from the blood draw in the blackened area began to enlarge and even showed signs of decay.
It's clear that he was infected with the zombie virus after being injured, but the virus wasn't cleared even though the wound was healed.
Therefore, the virus remains under the skin at the wound site and spreads slowly.
This situation has never been seen before.
Seeing Jian Meng's behavior now, Feng Lin understood.
She is a healing-type ability user, and her level is quite high.
So she must have treated that person, and only after that person was injured and infected with the zombie virus.
The wound healed, but the virus could not be cleared.
That's why the spread and mutation of the virus were slowed down.
By this time, the wounds on the several superhumans had been healed, and they no longer impulsively tried to seize the level three or four crystal cores.
As long as I have other crystal cores, I'll worry about getting into the safe zone first.
Next, the group took out enough crystal cores and entered the safe zone.
The burly man who had been slapping himself, controlled by Feng Lin, also stopped.
His face was swollen from being slapped.
The big guy touched his swollen face, feeling a sharp pain.
Even his nose bled.
I never expected this white-haired guy to be so ruthless.
He grabbed his backpack, his eyes blazing with fury, his fierce gaze filled with rage.
But they dared not retaliate.
He had no choice but to take the crystal core and walk up to Feng Lin, not daring to offend him.
Feng Lin nodded to him, indicating that he could go in.
Those without crystal nuclei can only stand outside the safe zone.
Upon seeing this, Jian Meng questioned Feng Lin, "Aren't you here to accept people with superpowers? Why do they need crystal cores?"
Feng Lin ignored her and said coldly, "If you don't want to come in, then stay with them."
After saying that, Feng Lin walked into the safe zone.
Seeing this, Jian Meng bit her lip and had no choice but to follow.
Inside the testing room, Feng Lin ordered that those who had been treated by Jian Meng be isolated.
Jian Meng asked, puzzled, "Why do you want them to be quarantined?"
Feng Lin ignored her and turned to leave.
Jian Meng pouted and muttered under her breath, "How rude."
The staff led her into the lounge and said calmly, "Someone will arrange accommodations for you in a little while."
"You..." Jian Meng was about to ask about the situation in the safe zone when the person simply walked away without paying any attention to her.
Jian Meng scoffed and muttered under her breath, "What kind of attitude is that?"
After she entered the lounge, she saw Chen Peng and Zhao Ke chatting and laughing.
"Chen Peng, why didn't you wait for me?" Jian Meng walked up to Chen Peng and said with a hint of annoyance, "You've been acting strange the whole way here. What's wrong with you today?"
Since killing Lü Wendong and escaping from City A, Chen Peng has been acting strangely.
He used to be very attentive to her, but now he only treats her with perfunctory attitude and indifference, which makes her feel very uncomfortable.
Chen Peng looked up and gave a perfunctory reply, "It's nothing, I'm just tired."
His attitude towards her now is not as good as towards the girl named Zhao Ke whom he rescued on the way.
At this moment, Zhao Ke noticed a woman walking out of the building opposite the lounge.
It was the woman who was sitting on the top floor earlier.
"That woman looks terrible," Zhao Ke said, puzzled.
The woman was quite pretty, but her skin was grayish, like the skin color of a zombie.
Chen Peng and Jian Meng looked over upon hearing this.
The white-haired man walked happily to the woman's side and kissed her cheek.
Seeing this scene, Jianmeng felt a pang of envy.
She touched her lips, recalling the kiss she shared with Lü Wendong that night.
Thinking of this, Jian Meng shook her head.
How could she have any illusions about him? He's a zombie, the zombie who killed her parents.
Fortunately, he was already dead.
