Chapter 78 Cheng Wenxiu
There are a lot of crystal cores. Pu Zhi's ability of clairvoyance consumes almost no energy, but that doesn't stop her from stealing a few from time to time. No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat.
With the addition of laser weapons, the battle situation suddenly changed from a disadvantage to a evenly matched one.
But the laser weapon was indeed unstable, as the deputy base commander had said. It exploded several times in one night, killing more than twenty soldiers.
After a stalemate that lasted a whole night, there were finally signs that the number of zombies was decreasing.
But the base was not completely safe, and many residents turned into zombies in one night.
This caused chaos in the city for a long time. Fortunately, based on the results of Dr. Shangxi's research, the base took corresponding precautions and captured all the people who had mutated into zombies.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the zombies outside the base finally retreated, leaving only corpses on the ground.
The base sent out a helicopter to spray odor-blocking agent before sending people to harvest the crystal cores and clean up the battlefield. Although it has little effect on today's zombies, it is better than nothing.
After returning to the villa, Mother Du spent the whole night in fear, and only felt relieved when she saw that everyone was safe and sound.
She prepared meals early so that everyone could have a good rest as soon as they came back.
Everyone slept until dinner time and the points of Team One had already been transferred to Team Two's account. Li Cang was a little annoying, but he was still trustworthy.
Looking at the team's points, Zhang Xiaobai decided to upgrade another person on the team.
Zhao Yunyao looked at the small blade and said with a smile: "Sister Pu Zhi's small blade exerts more power than mine, let Sister Pu Zhi upgrade first!"
Since Zhao Yunyao took the initiative to say it, Zhang Xiaobai gave this opportunity to Pu Zhi. Now that the zombies have been upgraded, Yunyao and Xia Guang will be able to reach level three soon.
Pu Zhi stood aside silently. For her, the crystal core required to upgrade to level three was only one percent of the one required to upgrade to level four. It was a little less, but it was better than nothing.
Holding the crystal core, she returned to her room, but instead of absorbing it directly, she entered the space.
Qingyin was the first to rush up and show off his achievements.
Looking at the crystal cores piled up like a small mountain, Pu Zhi nodded with satisfaction.
According to the conversion, I have saved up nearly 30 level 3 crystal cores in the past few months, and looted another 16 from the Blue Sky Alliance. Today, I used the invisibility card on Qingyin. While others were fighting, it was secretly digging out the crystal cores of zombies outside the base.
Upon closer inspection, there were actually 1,500 second-level crystal cores and 13 third-level crystal cores.
Adding them all together, I only need 25 coins to reach level 4.
at the same time.
The four teams brought the bodies of their dead teammates back to the base for cremation.
"Why don't you let us watch?" Jin Nong looked indignantly at the staff who turned them away.
They just wanted to see their teammates one last time.
"This is the rule, there's nothing we can do about it." After saying that, the staff member closed the doors of the cremation room and waiting room with an expressionless face.
Jin Nong turned to look at her sister, hoping that she could make the decision, but she only saw Jin Na's tightly furrowed brows.
Seeing that its owner was in a bad mood, the Maine Coon cat rubbed its head against her. Jinna forced a smile and touched its soft fur to indicate that she was fine.
Jinna didn't say anything, and the others also knew there was no hope, so they could only wait outside quietly.
An hour later, looking at the ashes in the white porcelain tube, the teammates' eyes turned red and they turned their heads away, not daring to look again.
Finally, it was Jin Na, the team leader, who took it. She took a deep look at the staff inside, and then seemed to be looking at a spider weaving a web on the wall.
The staff member rubbed his nose with his fingers inadvertently and lowered his head guiltily.
After returning to Villa No. 4, Team 4 held a simple burial ceremony for Ali and buried him in the field next to the villa.
In the room, Jinna absentmindedly stroked the Maine Coon cat: "Yangyang, do you think what it said is true..."
At night, the alarm sounded again in the base, and the zombies came again!
Everyone rushed to the wall and started a new round of fighting.
Fortunately, the number today was much smaller than yesterday, and the fight was almost over by dawn.
By the time he returned to the villa, Pu Zhi had collected all the crystal cores needed for upgrades.
The news that many zombies lost their crystal cores yesterday must have been noticed by the base, but Qingyin was very determined to get them today, and he got 8 extra level 3 crystal cores. Otherwise, there would be no such good opportunity next time.
In the space, Pu Zhi absorbed the energy in the crystal core at an extremely fast speed. When she opened her eyes again, almost three hours had passed.
Fortunately, it was break time and everyone was busy catching up on sleep, so no one came to disturb her.
At the same time, in an office in Area 1.
"Why are there so many missing crystal cores!" The middle-aged man looked at the list handed over and angrily hit the reporter on the head.
The man bowed 90 degrees crazily, with cold sweat on his forehead: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I don't know either, maybe... maybe..."
The middle-aged man rubbed his temples impatiently with one hand and asked in a bad tone, "What could it be?"
The man's eyes flickered, and he hesitated to speak out his guess: "The doctor said that crystal cores are also attractive to zombies. Could it be that they were dug by other living zombies?"
The middle-aged man stopped what he was doing and kept tapping the desk with his fingers, making a rhythmic thumping sound, which constantly stimulated the nerves of his subordinates.
"Then did you see any zombies digging?"
"No...no...I don't know." The man replied cautiously. He had never been to the battlefield, so how could he know whether the zombies had dug or not.
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, and the frightened man felt so weak that he wanted to kneel down: "Useless thing! If your sister hadn't pleaded for you, I would have fired you long ago.
Since you didn't see it, go check it out. Now go add infrared sensors to the wall. I don't believe we can't catch this thief! Get lost!"
Hearing that he could go out, the man felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly took the report and ran away.
As soon as he left the office, the man straightened his back immediately. The guards beside him called him "Vice Minister Yang" when they saw him.
One of the guards was too slow to shout, so Yang Bing kicked him and knocked him to the ground: "Don't you have eyes?"
The team leader nearby was so disappointed with Yang Bing that he rushed forward to help him and said a lot of nice things to make Yang Bing calm down.
After Yang Bing left, the soldier clenched his fists tightly, his eyes full of confusion and bewilderment, unable to swallow his anger: "Captain, did I do something wrong? Why did Deputy Minister Yang hit me?"
The captain was quite helpless about the soldier he led. He forgot to tell him the precautions in advance. He leaned over to the soldier's ear and whispered, "It's because he was angry with the deputy base commander. Deputy Minister Yang's sister is the wife of the deputy base commander. She has no ability and relied on nepotism to get to the top.
Every time he comes, he is scolded by the deputy base commander. He beats up anyone he doesn't like. This time, you are unlucky because you happened to offend him.
But there's been a lot going on at the base lately, and he's been coming here a lot, so you should go to another post for a few days, and I'll transfer you back when the zombies outside are gone."
