Chapter 164 The Secret of the Crystal Core
"Oh, it's true, this little face is unbearable to look at..."
A branch as thick as a chopstick grew out of Meng Xiang's fingertips, and she lifted Cui Ziqun's swollen baby face. "How pitiful! Let me blow on it for you..."
“No, no, no!”
Cui Ziqun covered his face and stepped back repeatedly, "I'd better not bother you, Sister Xiangxiang."
If Meng Xiang really blows on his face twice, his face will swell even more exaggeratedly!
"cut……"
Meng Xiang rolled her eyes, leaned back in the chair beside her, and crossed her straight white legs. "Then tell me what the result of your previous test was."
Zhao Ke lit a cigarette, exhaled the smoke, and looked at Cui Ziqun: "Next time, let Lao He go. Talk about it."
The old man He Guohua smiled and said, "It should be similar to what I guessed. There are at least two people in their team who are higher level than us."
"Uh-huh!"
Cui Ziqun nodded repeatedly, rubbing his aching face and said, "There are three women and two men in the room. One of the two men is thin and pale, young, a pretty boy, and can't feel any supernatural fluctuations. He is probably a loser.
The other man is bigger than the eldest brother and should be of a higher rank than the eldest brother, but he looks stupid and probably has a mental problem.
Of the three remaining women, the short-haired one who attacked me had the highest strength, sending me flying with a single kick. She was no weaker than our eldest brother. Of the remaining two women, one looked delicate and vulnerable, likely a worthless creature. The other was younger than me, and I could sense she was one of my kind, possessing the same gold-controlling ability as me.
"Only three of a five-man team have combat power?"
Zhao Ke glanced at him and said, "Then you are quite lucky."
He Guohua laughed: "Yeah, if you meet someone more irritable, you really won't be able to come back, Lao Si!"
"Ah! Old He, stop being sarcastic. It's obvious that someone with your looks would be the best to test you out, but you insisted on asking me to go..."
"Young people are thick-skinned and tough. How else can we understand the other person's background if we don't do this?"
“…”
Cui Ziqun snorted coldly and looked at Zhao Ke again: "The military off-road vehicle downstairs is also theirs."
"Where's that kid Long Liang?"
Zhao Ke asked again.
"He kicked the door open and ran away. He's a fast runner. Next time I see him, I'll make him wish he were dead!"
Cui Ziqun gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with viciousness.
Meng Xiang sneered, "That kid just has a pair of legs, and his wind-type ability allows him to move quickly. It would be easy to kill him, but we still have some use for him. However..."
She suddenly thought of something and said to Zhao Ke, "Several military off-road vehicles have arrived in the West District recently. Didn't we run into a young master named Wen on our way back? He said he was going to the East District to look for something and was looking for someone to take him there. Should we give it a try? After all, if he's from the military, he's sure to get a lot of benefits."
"Besides, the military hasn't even announced the secrets of the crystal cores to the public yet. We must get more crystal cores before those people do."
He Guohua stroked his white beard, narrowing his eyes with calculation, "Do these newcomers also know the secret of the crystal core? Otherwise, there is no way they can be higher than us."
"The military has revealed very little information about the crystal core. We only know that it's in the brain of a mutant zombie and can be used to enhance superpowers, but we have no idea how to use it."
After saying that, Meng Xiang kicked the backpack, and a large pile of crystal cores stained with black blood rolled out from it, emitting a foul odor.
"Isn't this thing meant to be eaten?"
Cui Ziqun suppressed his nausea and went forward to pick up one. "How about we try it?"
"You try."
He Guohua raised his hand and a stream of water washed over the crystal cores on the floor.
After a while, the black blood stains were washed away, revealing the original color.
There are red, dark red, and blackish red inside. If you count carefully, there are about thirty or forty of them.
Today, they accidentally heard the news about the crystal cores from the military, and quickly ran to the place where the mutant zombie corpses were, to collect them.
It seems that the military has just learned about this.
It hasn't been made public yet.
Once the news spreads, it will obviously cause quite a stir.
"vomit……"
Cui Ziqun couldn't help but gag, "It stinks... How can I eat it... Ah!"
Meng Xiang stuffed it directly into his mouth.
The hard crystal core knocked off half of his front teeth, causing him to cry in pain.
"Sister Xiangxiang, you are trying to kill me!"
"How can you eat something so hard?"
"I won't try!"
Cui Ziqun threw away the crystal core and stepped aside.
He Guohua stepped forward, picked up a crystal core and placed it in his hand. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he looked at everyone with a bright expression: "I know how to use it."
"Um?"
Zhao Ke, Meng Xiang, and Cui Ziqun all turned their eyes to him.
-
West District of S City, military base.
Yan Fei got out of the car, and a young man came up to him with a smile at the door.
"Brother Yan!"
"Xiao Zhou."
Yan Fei greeted him, "What's wrong? Did you see Liang Lin and the others?"
"Yes. We've already arranged accommodation for you. But Brother Yan, our boss wants to talk to you in detail about the matter between Young Master Wen and Miss Lin."
Xiao Zhou's dark face suddenly became serious, "Come with me first."
"good."
Yan Fei responded and said to the fat man behind him: "Go find Liang Lin and others first and see what's going on."
The fat man made an OK gesture to reassure him.
Ten minutes later.
Yan Fei and Xiao Zhou came to the most important meeting room inside the military base.
In the conference room, a lame man sat on a chair with his legs crossed. His originally cold face suddenly turned into a smile the moment he saw him.
"Old Yan."
"Lao Wan, long time no see."
Yan Fei stepped forward and hit the lame man on the chest.
The man stood up, wearing a badge of rank on his military uniform.
Seeing this, Yan Fei sighed softly and reached out to touch it. "Now you have got what you wanted? The whole S City is under your control."
"It's the end of the world now. There are millions of zombies in the East District. How many living people are there? Do you think I'm willing to care?"
The man rolled his eyes, then pressed his shoulder anxiously and said, "Quick, stop talking nonsense and tell me in detail what this zombie crystal core you mentioned in the message is. Can it really level up? Or replenish depleted superpowers?"
"Um."
Yan Fei lit a cigarette and sat down slowly. "This has to do with an incident involving a few young people I met not long ago."
"oh?"
The man suddenly became interested. "Okay, tell me in detail."
Five minutes later.
Yan Fei unscrewed the cap of a bottle of water and gulped it down. "That's all I know so far. The other uses of the crystal core haven't been discovered yet..."
After hearing his words, the man looked at the crystal core in front of him and asked someone to try it. After confirming that it could really replenish superpowers, his expression became even more serious.
Yan Fei felt something was wrong. After putting down the water bottle, he asked, "Why do you look so grumpy? Could it be that you know all this?"
"No!"
The man shook his head and told him, "I just remembered that there was a guy who mentioned the crystal core to us before..."
"who?"
"Xie Ning."
