There were more than thirty wild boars!
Animals were also affected after the apocalypse, but they died almost instantly. The animals that survived were eaten by zombies or humans. This pig farm was built in this desolate mountain wilderness. In addition, the original owner had fenced off dozens of acres of land for outdoor breeding and set up a very high wire fence and solar power grid. Over the past five years, the free-range pigs here have actually resisted the virus and survived.
After driving away the drooling zombies around her, Xia Yixin used her mental power to blow up the head of a medium-sized pig.
She rummaged around but didn't find any crystals. It seemed these little guys were not only edible, but might be even more valuable than her research.
When she brought back the cut and cleaned pork, Xia's parents were shocked, and their eyes lit up when they heard about the surviving animals.
These pigs resisted the zombie virus and did not mutate, making them more valuable for research than Xia Yixin.
At that moment, she heard a system notification in her mind: "Ding, a side quest has been triggered: Research a serum antibody to cure the virus and save humanity (zombies). This is an exchange quest; you will receive 0.0001 points for each person saved. Host, do you accept?"
This kind of exchange task is like a windfall. The previous two times brought her a lot of points. Now, it is conservatively estimated that there are still 100 million humans in stock. If the zombie vaccine is successfully developed, perhaps people who have evolved into zombies can also have their will awakened. That would be a huge number. She decisively accepted the task.
That evening, the family of three enjoyed a hearty meal of stewed pork with wild vegetables, which Xia Yixin had picked along the way.
But after the couple fell asleep, Xia Yixin used her mental power to create a "moving protective wall" of zombies surrounding them a kilometer away.
After doing all this, she walked alone to the New Century Shopping Plaza.
Traces of their previous battle still remain here. At least tens of thousands of zombies, attracted by the area, are still lingering around. Ordinary people would be terrified just by looking at them, but for Xia Yixin at this moment, it's like walking on flat ground.
In the darkness, only the bright moon hangs in the sky; it is autumn.
The zombies wandering the square automatically dispersed, not even daring to let out a low growl. For zombies below the fifth rank, the pressure she released was enough to frighten them.
Just as Xia Yixin was about to reach the supermarket entrance, several mutilated corpses appeared on the ground. It was clear that they had committed suicide by shooting themselves when they realized they couldn't escape. Their clothes were marked with the insignia of "K Base Team Three".
Xia Yixin sighed softly, took their identification tags and personal belongings, and planned to bring their relatives back when she went to the K base.
She searched the route they had taken during their retreat and found a total of six tags, far fewer than she had expected. Did this mean that there might still be survivors from the third team?
Just as she returned after circling around, she suddenly sensed the commotion of the zombies around her.
As she turned her head, a huge creature charged towards her.
"Roar, roar—!" The man, who was over three meters tall, had almost lost his human form. Except for his head, all the muscles in his body were swollen to an unbelievable degree.
It's a fifth-tier evolved zombie mini-boss. One of them almost wiped out their entire third team, though of course, there were other reasons as well.
Upon seeing his old rival again, Xia Yixin remained calm and composed. He took a step back and, when the rival was less than three meters away, he exerted force with his toes and, without any special abilities, punched him in the head.
She also wanted to test her own abilities.
In the square, a sharp crack was heard, and then the massive body of the power-type zombie was sent flying more than a hundred meters like trash, sweeping down many zombies along the way. It crashed into a shop with a thud and could not get up again.
There was a hole the size of a bowl in his head.
Dead beyond dead.
Xia Yixin shook the dirt off her hands in disgust; it seemed she had overestimated these zombies.
Just then, a series of roars came from the surrounding high-rise buildings, and two more powerful zombie auras were approaching.
Zombies also have a territorial mentality, and their intelligence increases as they ascend higher.
There were three high-level zombies in T City. One died, leaving two remaining. Both were level five, one with fire-type abilities and the other with corrosive abilities.
As the two level-five zombies jumped down from the roof, Xia Yixin held Shangxie in her hand.
Just as she took a step forward to make her move, the two high-level zombies bent down and shouted indistinctly, "Hoo... Your Majesty!"
All the other low-ranking zombies around her also bowed and groaned, completely acknowledging her as the zombie queen of T City.
Xia Yixin reluctantly withdrew her Shangxie. Zombies understood the principle of survival of the fittest better than humans, which made her fight less satisfying.
After confirming their identities, Xia Yixin wasn't in a hurry to arrange for her parents to come over immediately.
She needs to first get the families of the third team out of K base, and she also needs to retrieve the necklace from Guo Miaomiao's possession.
In the original story, because the entire third team died in the line of duty, Xia Ru and Guo Miaomiao did not dare to go too far. The third team consisted of 35 people, more than half of whom were family members, and there were more than 20 men, women, children and the elderly. They still lived in the original second-class citizen area.
Other search teams had previously been on good terms with the three teams, and they would occasionally bring them food and drinks. However, this was only the beginning. Later, Xia Ru and her daughter Guo Miaomiao turned against them, driving them out of District Two overnight and throwing them into the third-class citizen district, which was full of thugs and mobs. They were left to be bullied there and eventually died tragically.
Judging by the timeline, it's been these past few days, and coincidentally, Bai Jingkong also returned from the joint meeting of the seven bases with a wealth of knowledge in these same days.
She decided to wait and see.
Of course, she couldn't go back alone, so she gave orders to the two level-five zombies.
The K base is built on a dam, so drainage is definitely a key factor. There is a complex network of underground pipes that connect to the city's pipe network and eventually drain into the sea. After the apocalypse, most zombies have difficulty entering the underground pipes on their own, and the K base has also installed some protective netting, so it has been used ever since.
Although there are no underground pipes that lead directly to the area she wants to go, the zombies are strong and have sharp claws, so it wouldn't be difficult for her to dig a road through it. Then she could turn K Base into a self-service shopping mall.
Bai Jingkong probably never dreamed that her own stronghold would be breached from the center.
Xia Yixin is now the Zombie Queen. At least in D Province, she can control tens of millions of zombies, which is an absolutely terrifying number.
