In order to hone her skills, Lin Dan would go out to fight zombies every day. She thought that Dr. Xiao could not stand the dirt outside and would definitely not go with her, but she did not expect that he would follow her every time. At this moment, the two were standing on the roof of a two-story building, locked the iron door of the roof, and quietly watched the group of zombies howling around them.
Lin Dan concentrated her mental strength and blew up the head of a zombie, then the second, the third... Her movements became more and more skillful, and her speed became faster and faster. At first, she could only blow up one by one, but later she could blow up a group of them at once. The muffled sound of "bang bang bang" was endless, and with each explosion, a shining crystal core would be thrown into the air by the hot airflow, emitting a dazzling light.
Xiao Junlin couldn't stand the stench of the brain vaporizing and couldn't help but cover his nose.
Suddenly, a level 4 wind zombie flew out from the zombie group, and its sharp black claws went straight to Lin Dan's forehead. His speed was as fast as a flash of lightning. Lin Dan couldn't even see him clearly, let alone dodge. She tried her best to mobilize her mental strength and tried to blow the opponent's head off, but she was still a step too slow.
In the crisis, she could only rely on her instinct to push the doctor away, and then calmly face the poisonous claws approaching. At the critical moment, a loud bang exploded on the top floor, and the wind-type zombie instantly exploded into a ball of pus. The fishy-smelling water droplets splashed everywhere, covering Lin Dan's head and face, but she opened her eyes wide, watching the scene in disbelief.
A zombie exploded, which was nothing, she could do it too in time, but the question was, where did the zombie's crystal core go?
Lin Dan looked around, but only saw decaying fluid all over the ground. There were no bones, no teeth, no crystal cores. The hardest parts of the human body had all disappeared and liquefied. What kind of attack power was this?
Xiao Junlin hid behind Lin Dan the moment the zombies exploded, using her as a shield to block the pouring of the putrid fluid. Now he was clean, but he couldn't stand the smell on the rooftop and was covering his nose with a handkerchief.
"Let's go, today's training is over." He said, trying hard to suppress his nausea.
"Doctor, did you do this?" Lin Dan pointed at the pus on the ground and asked, "Where is the crystal core? Did you blow it up too?" That is a crystal core that is countless times harder than diamond. How could it disappear in the blink of an eye?
Xiao Junlin urged impatiently: "Anyway, the high-level crystal core is useless to you, so it's no pity if it explodes. Are you going to leave or not? If you don't leave, I will go back by myself."
Lin Dan was silent for a long time before nodding with difficulty. She stared at the doctor's tall back and finally realized the gap between her and him. The Doctor looked at her, probably like an adult looking at a kid playing on the slide in the park? They are not from the same world at all. If it weren't for his mysophobia, the doctor would have been able to thrive in the apocalypse.
Lin Dan shook his head, feeling deeply saddened. They say that no one is perfect, and there is some truth to this.
The two of them walked down the stairs slowly. Xiao Junlin looked back at Lin Dan and said, "Your skills have many fatal weaknesses. First, your defense is too low, second, your distance is not far enough, third, your range is not wide enough, and fourth, your speed is not fast enough. As long as the opponent has more people and they cooperate with each other, you will find it difficult to deal with them, so you still need to work harder to make up for the shortcomings."
Lin Dan nodded repeatedly to show that he had learned his lesson. Her skills look very powerful, but in fact she is fragile. As long as the opponent launches a ranged attack or gets close to her, and the speed at which she mobilizes her mental power cannot keep up with the speed of the opponent's attack, she will surely die. The sudden attack by the wind zombie just now was a typical example. If it weren't for the doctor's protection, she would definitely not be able to go back today.
Thinking of this, she suddenly said cheerfully: "Doctor, I'll stew a duck for you when we get back."
Xiao Junlin loves duck meat, and his expression softened after hearing this. He nodded and said, "Then let's go to the lake and take a look." He was not in a hurry to go back and take a shower. This shows that the doctor is still a foodie.
Lin Dan lowered his head and curled the corners of his lips quietly. After going downstairs, he blew up all the zombies guarding outside the house. Then he turned on the faucet, driving a steady stream of tap water into the pile of corpses, washing the crystal cores to the open space on the side, and then used clean water to roll hundreds of crystal cores into the air, constantly shaking and washing them, and boiling them for disinfection.
After doing all this, Lin Dan heated the water ball to an extremely high temperature, causing it to evaporate and vaporize, then opened the bag and caught the crystal cores that fell like raindrops. A series of crisp sounds echoed in her ears, making her happy.
"Doctor, I don't think I've ever seen you absorb a crystal core." After climbing onto the vehicle, Lin Dan asked curiously.
Xiao Junlin said with a smile: "Have you ever thought that zombies cannot reproduce and will be wiped out by humans sooner or later. What will humans use to cultivate superpowers then? Without zombies, will humans stay where they are forever? This power comes from the mutation of the body and the gift of nature. It is the perfect combination of heaven, earth, and man. Nowadays, humans only know how to absorb crystal cores, but have forgotten the origin of this power. When the zombies are completely wiped out, how should humans face the mutated insects, plants, and beasts that are still growing stronger? How powerful humans can be depends not on zombies, but on themselves. It's a pity that beasts understand this truth, insects understand it, and even plants understand it, but humans, the most intelligent creatures, don't understand it."
Lin Dan was silent for a long time before he said, "Doctor, do you mean that besides absorbing crystal cores, humans have another way to cultivate superpowers?"
Xiao Junlin held his chin with one hand and looked out the window quietly.
Lin Dan continued: "Doctor, what is that method?"
Xiao Junlin turned his head and asked playfully: "Why should I tell you?"
Well, the Doctor's bad taste is back again. Lin Dan nodded to show that he had learned his lesson, then looked straight ahead without saying a word. One day she will figure out what the other method of cultivation is.
The two drove to a nearby lake, shot a mutant wild duck with a water arrow, took it home and stewed it until it was soft and tasty, and they ate it for three consecutive days. The mutated animals are growing bigger and bigger, and they have also awakened special powers, making them very difficult to deal with. But fortunately, they are not infected by the virus and can be used as a food source. Some crops have mutated and become poisonous, while others have not mutated and are still edible. Humanity is not at the end of its rope.
After living in the farmyard for more than a month and mastering various skills to perfection, Lin Dan prepared to take the doctor to the nearest survivor base.
On this day, their car broke down and they had to climb up a high-voltage power tower on the side of the road to avoid the attack of the zombies. Lin Dan activated his mental power very quickly, and within a second he blew off the heads of more than a dozen zombies. Regardless of the level of her ability, the amount of water in her head is the same, so her skills will not be suppressed by her level.
She ate crystal cores while blowing up zombies, her leisurely posture like she was setting off fireworks. Xiao Junlin stood on a higher steel beam and looked into the distance.
"Someone is coming." He suddenly said.
"How many people?" Lin Dan quickly blew up all the high-level zombies, leaving only some low-level zombies that posed no threat.
"Five jeeps, military."
"Our car is scrapped, why don't we just take a ride?" Lin Dan asked.
Xiao Junlin frowned and said nothing. He actually doesn't like to interact with others, Lin Dan is the only exception.
While he was silent, the convoy had already approached. Lin Dan did not get the doctor's response, so he did not wave for help. She thought these people would just turn a blind eye and leave, but unexpectedly they slowly stopped and sent several psychics to clean up the zombies surrounding the iron tower.
"You can come down now!" A sturdy man raised his head, revealing an extremely handsome face. He was a user of fire-related abilities, and with just a thought, without even sending out a fireball, the zombies started to burn on their own, turning into piles of ashes in just a few seconds.
Whenever Lin Dan saw the way he used his supernatural powers, he always had a sense of déjà vu. There is no doubt that the other party is a strong man, whose strength far exceeds that of Liu Ye and Nie Ting. One of them is a fourth-level thunder-type mutant, and the other is a fourth-level mid-stage gold-type mutant. They are already the top masters in China.
Xiao Junlin, who had never shown interest in other people, now took a closer look at the man, with a gleam in his eyes.
Seeing that the two people on the tower did not move, the man thought they were scared and waved and called again: "Come down, it's okay." He had a cigarette in his mouth and blew out smoke rings while speaking, looking a little nonchalant.
His companion ran over with a spear in hand and urged, "Come down quickly. There are still zombies nearby. We can't stay here for too long."
Lin Dan looked at the doctor and saw him nod imperceptibly, then he climbed down the steel beam. A few minutes later, the two men got into the man's jeep and sped along the highway.
"Sister, where are you going?" a young girl who was also sitting in the back row asked with a smile. Her facial features have not yet fully developed, and her cheeks are white and tender with some baby fat, which shows that she is well protected in the apocalypse.
"Sister, why were you so stupid and didn't you ask for help when you saw us coming?" The girl was obviously a chatterbox, asking questions one after another.
"We were going to the nearest survivor base. I thought you wouldn't stop even if I stopped you, so I didn't move." Lin Dan answered patiently. Through these extremely clear eyes, she could tell that the girl was just a child who had not grown up, very innocent and kind. Although the man is a bit ruffian, he is not a bad person.
The girl sighed and said dejectedly: "Sister, you must have stopped a lot of cars, but no one else stopped, right? People in the apocalypse are becoming more and more indifferent. If this continues, we will die from each other's indifference before the zombies kill us. By the way, sister, why do I feel that this brother looks familiar?" She pointed at Xiao Junlin, her eyes full of curiosity.
Xiao Junlin kept looking at the scenery outside the window and was unwilling to talk to anyone. The man glanced at him through the rearview mirror, his eyes flashing with deep thought. After a while, the girl suddenly screamed: "Ah, I remember! He is Dr. Xiao Junlin! I have seen his photo!"
The man slammed on the brakes, his face full of disbelief.
