"Celine, your steak is ready, medium-rare."
A short girl with a round face and a flat nose got out of the SUV. Not far away, Chen Jin was sitting in front of a small stove, cooking with a serious expression. When he turned to look at her, his eyes were filled with a gentle smile.
They have now arrived in another small town, which is obviously much more economically developed. The streets are lined with towering residential buildings, and the shop signs are large and eye-catching, indicating that the urbanization process is already more than halfway complete.
Unfortunately, it was forced to stop due to the outbreak of the zombie virus.
They set up a stove at one of the breakfast stalls.
Chen Jin has figured out all of this girl's preferences in the past few days.
He is obsessed with 300 children's songs, picky about food and only eats rare steak, and gets unusually excited when he sees zombies.
Anyway... it's pretty outrageous.
Jiaojiao sat to the side and swallowed hard.
"It smells so good!" Jiao Jiao couldn't wait to pick up a piece of beef brisket with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth. The aroma lingered on her lips and teeth. "Sister Celine, are you really not going to eat any?"
As soon as she saw the steak, she knew it wouldn't taste like much. How could it possibly be as delicious as this pot of flavorful and aromatic beef brisket?
But these past few days, Celine has only wanted to eat that, and won't even eat rice.
She didn't understand.
Lin Xi shook her head.
She changed her name.
When Chen Jin asked her what her name was, she looked up and saw herself in the mirror, and the word "Lin" that was on her lips was instantly swallowed back.
She immediately changed her address, saying, "Celine."
So these past few days, Chen Jin and Jiao Jiao have both been calling her that.
She glanced at the fragrant pot of beef brisket in front of them, swallowed hard, and quickly looked away.
"You guys can eat by yourselves. I only like steak and don't like anything else."
Lin Xi felt tears welling up in her eyes: The desire for food and drink only brings suffering! It leads to depravity!
Stay away from it! Never become a puppet of your desires!
Self-brainwashing complete.
She turned her back to them and began to eat, her face expressionless.
Risk assessment: Four stars.
Lin Xi paused, alarm bells ringing in her mind. She immediately shouted to Chen Jin, "Take Jiao Jiao to the car and hide!"
Four stars!
This was the first time she had received a four-star danger warning from the system.
Previously, they encountered two superhumans in the wilderness who were much stronger than them, and the system only gave them a three-star danger warning.
Are these mid-level zombies this time? Or is it another troublesome high-level ability user like last time?
In any case, they're all here with ill intentions.
Chen Jin quickly realized what was happening, grabbed the chopsticks that were still holding a piece of beef brisket stuck in them, and ran to the car with a bewildered look on his face.
The movements were very skillful.
These past few days, he's encountered too many things like this. Celine's reactions are so quick that he almost suspects she has some kind of zombie-detecting radar on her body!
Hearing her say that she already had over a month of practical experience, Chen Jin couldn't help but wonder: Could he become as skilled as her after a month?
Sure enough, a figure quickly leaped down from the tall building behind them.
When he stopped and slowly turned to look at Lin Xi, Jiao Jiao in the car was shocked and curious. She turned to Chen Jin and quietly asked, "Teacher Chen, is this person also a superhuman?"
That's right, apart from his somewhat unhealthy complexion, the man outside looks like a human being no matter how you look at him.
But Chen Jin immediately noticed the rotting black flesh on the back of his neck, realized something was wrong, and instinctively covered Jiao Jiao's mouth.
"Shh!"
The male zombie glanced at the SUV with slightly stiff movements.
Jiaojiao shuddered involuntarily. How terrifying.
However, his target was clearly Celine across from him, a strange smile playing on his lips. "The food smells so good."
[System Task: Please acquire one mid-tier zombie crystal core within one hour.]
The system's voice carried a hint of excitement.
Lin Xi had originally planned to stall him first and then run away.
This damn system has assigned me this task again.
Since things have come to this...
Lin Xi lowered her eyes and continued to eat the steak she hadn't finished, chewing slowly and meticulously.
Chen Jin was anxiously waiting in the car.
Why isn't she moving?
This one is clearly much harder to deal with than the zombies we've encountered in the past few days.
Was it because there was little hope left that he let himself and Jiaojiao get in the car first, intending to face the zombie in the worst possible way?
Lin Xi knew this too.
Compared to the mid-level zombie encountered in the abandoned wood factory, this mid-level zombie was clearly more agile and seemed to have a clearer mind.
Honestly, she doesn't have a very high chance of winning.
After all, she had taken a booster when she fought that zombie last time.
It took several times the enhancement of all abilities to kill that zombie.
And now she has nothing.
A mid-level zombie.
They were a terrifying opponent who almost wiped out Lu Mingxing and his two companions at the lumber mill.
To make matters worse, for some unknown reason, although she had absorbed several low-level zombie crystal cores, her mind control ability remained stuck at level three and did not advance any further.
It's like entering a bottleneck period in cultivation.
Lin Xi remained motionless, but the male zombie opposite her began to move, walking towards her step by step.
Looking into her eyes, it was as if she were eyeing a delicious meal that was within easy reach.
After finishing the last piece of meat, Lin Xi put down her chopsticks and finally turned to look at the zombie in front of her.
The man looked to be in his thirties. There were dark red scabs that had formed into clumps on the back of his head and neck, which looked rather frightening. However, the skin on his face and body looked no different from that of an ordinary person.
The zombie was clearly taken aback when it saw her movements.
She was sitting there perfectly fine just a moment ago, so why did she suddenly stand up and stare at him warily?
Is this a plan to rebel?
What kind of pipe dream are you having?
Did she still think she could escape?
In the past few days, not to mention zombies, even several passing superhumans couldn't escape from him and ended up as his nourishment!
"It's just a low-level zombie, where do you think you can escape to?"
Thinking of this, his smile deepened.
Lin Xi frowned. What did he call her?
Why can you see the word "sleazy" on a zombie's face?
I really want to punch him.
However, the difference in strength is too great, so how can we beat them?
Seeing Lin Xi's varied and expressive face, the zombies on the other side were surprised and wondered: Don't low-level zombies only improve their combat power?
Was he seeing things?
The low-level zombie opposite me is actually thinking?
wrong!
Why is her skin color so similar to that of a human? There's no way to tell the difference.
But her sense of smell as a zombie told her that she was definitely just a low-level zombie.
Lin Xi also found it strange.
The mid-level zombie in front of us seems to have a clearer consciousness than the one at the lumber mill?
Is it possible for a zombie's brain to come back to life after it dies?
