The next morning, Lin Xi, who hadn't slept enough the night before, continued to take a nap with her eyes closed. Jiang Ling was to her left, and Jiang Yuan was to her right. Yan Xiangxiang had moved to the back row.
[Ding! System task issued: Collect one low-level crystal core within seven days.]
Lin Xi opened her eyes.
Seven days?
Why did it take so long this time?
—What is a low-order crystal nucleus?
Zombie crystals are more powerful and faster than ordinary zombies.
Light green
Are you sure there are such zombies?
[Zombie evolution detected]
—So you mean low-level zombies evolved from ordinary zombies?
—Are there also mid-level and high-level zombies?
The system has disappeared.
Lin Xi was speechless again, but judging from the time limit given by the system, this mission should be getting more difficult.
Lin Xi pondered the information given by the system. The system had just said that the zombies had begun to evolve.
Therefore, the current zombies are in the early stages of evolution. This makes it hard for Lin Xi not to suspect that the zombies are undergoing a natural evolution to cope with the existence of superhumans and to increase their survival rate.
If that's the case, then the evolution of zombies should be similar to that of human superhumans. Currently, there may be a small number of low-level zombies, but they probably haven't had time to evolve to higher levels yet.
So it's not that there won't be mid-level and high-level zombies, it's just that they haven't had the chance to appear yet.
Lin Xi really wanted to tell everyone the news, but she didn't know how to start.
For the past three days, apart from meals or encountering zombies (when they would get out of the car to deal with them), they have been traveling non-stop.
Long Ge, He Chao, and Jiang Ling took turns driving and finally arrived in D City that night.
It's another ghost town.
The group got out of the car and were filled with emotion.
The city of D was once a bustling metropolis, a place where countless young people dreamed of settling down.
But now, the entire city is as silent as a mirage, and the sky is dark and gloomy, as if it is sighing for it.
"Perhaps everyone has gone to the safe zone?"
In the ensuing silence, Jiang Yuan spoke first.
"It should be." Jiang Ling nodded.
Judging by the timeline, the safety zone should have been initially established.
He Chao asked, "Jiang Yuan, did your friend tell you the exact location of that safe zone she mentioned?"
“No, not at all.” Jiang Yuan shook her head. “But she did say that there are a lot of very eye-catching signs posted on the street. She sent me pictures of them. I remember they were green arrows. Follow them all the way and the place where you finally stop is the safe zone.”
"Oh, and she also said that the walls of the safe zone are decorated with fire lotuses, symbolizing endless hope."
At this moment, Zhao Yunlong was moving a huge billboard in front of a store when a huge green arrow appeared. "Comrades, I think I've found this so-called green arrow."
Everyone gathered around.
The green is so vibrant and eye-catching, like a tender bud just sprouting in spring, representing a vigorous and upward-growing life.
"Yes, this is it!" Jiang Yuan exclaimed excitedly.
Everyone's eyes lit up. Finally! They were finally about to end this awful nightmare!
The emotions that had been building up for almost a month suddenly burst forth.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"
"Aaaaaaah!"
Ahhhhhh—
A group of young people were wildly venting their emotions in the pitch-black night.
They were crying and laughing at the same time, like a group of patients who had just escaped from a mental hospital.
Uncle Jiang stood to one side, watching with kind eyes, like a father who doted on his child and indulged his child's mischief.
Lin Xi was still in disbelief. Was the thing she had been looking forward to for so long about to come true? Was she really going to see her brother?
Uncle Jiang opened the car door and got in. "Let's go quickly, or we'll attract more zombies."
"Yes, let's talk about it in the safe zone first!" Brother Long wiped away his tears.
Yan Xiangxiang quietly handed him a tissue.
"You should keep it for yourself. After all, you're a girl and you like things to be clean."
...
Following the arrows, they drove out of the city and into the suburbs, which was understandable.
After all, the city center is where the population is most concentrated, so there are correspondingly more zombies. Although the suburbs are remote, there are fewer people and less danger now.
The headlights illuminated the road ahead in the distance.
Just as a massive complex of buildings came into view, the green arrow disappeared.
He Chao stuck his head out the window: "Look at the wall! It's a red lotus carving!"
The interior was brightly lit, making it a place that one longed to visit.
"We've really arrived at the safe zone?" Uncle Jiang was still somewhat incredulous.
Jiang Ling: "It seems that solar panels are installed on the roofs of those houses, so they can generate a continuous supply of electricity?"
"Great! My precious phone can finally charge! I haven't played games in ages, I'm sure I'm not even familiar with the controls anymore," He Chao muttered. "No way, once I get inside, I'm going to play all night!"
Brother Long sighed and shook his head. "This kid is hopeless. Isn't fighting zombies with me, Brother Long, more exciting than you playing video games?"
"That's different. Fighting zombies is exhausting, but playing video games isn't tiring and is just as exciting."
Why is it so quiet inside?
Jiang Yuan's words silenced everyone. Yes, why was it so quiet?
Yan Xiangxiang guessed, "They're probably all asleep? Besides, it needs to be quiet enough to avoid attracting the attention of zombies."
“That’s true,” He Chao agreed wholeheartedly. “Quietness means safety! Brother Long, let’s go in quickly!”
