Chapter 161 Return
From the time she opened the space until now, there has been no more information about the third layer of the space except for a line of words at the beginning that reminded her that the zombie crystal core could provide a base for opening the third layer.
Now, for the first time ever, after she invested a purified zombie crystal core, new information appeared, and the purified zombie crystal core increased the progress by twice the original amount. Before, the third-level crystal core with attributes she invested could only increase the progress by 100.
"Hubby, pinch me, let me feel if this is real!"
Shu Xin looked at Yan Mo with a dull look, wanting to prove that she was not hallucinating.
"What's wrong? Can the purified zombie crystal core be used?"
Shuxin's unexpected reaction made Yan Mo unsure of what was going on.
"hiss--!"
Knowing that Yan Mo was reluctant to pinch her, she chose to do it herself and hit her arm hard.
The pain from the nerve endings conveyed to Shuxin the fact that she was not dreaming!
"Ahhh! Hubby! The progress of the purified crystal core is twice as much as before, which means we only need to spend less time to successfully unlock the safe base inside. Then we will have our own territory!"
After confirming the fact, I happily shared my joy.
His previous expectation was confirmed, and a smile appeared on Yan Mo's face. He had already begun to plan to collect more third-level, fourth-level, and even fifth-level zombie crystal cores as soon as possible so that Shu Xin could use them to increase the progress of opening the base.
After being purified, a third-level crystal core can increase the progress by 200. The fourth and fifth-level crystal cores with attributes will increase the progress even more.
Shuxin thought of the same thing.
The last thing in the apocalypse is zombies. The hailstorm that brought the enhanced zombie virus has just passed, and the zombies will evolve further. The second- and third-level zombies will become the backbone of the zombie army. There will be no shortage of second- and third-level zombies.
They are now able to fight against more advanced zombies, and opening a safe base on the third level of space is just around the corner.
What I thought was a matter of long duration and endless seemed to have an end in sight. I nestled in Yan Mo's arms happily, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Yan Mo, who was hugging Shuxin, became angry because of Shuxin's restless movements.
He got hard.
Not a fist.
"Can't sleep because of happiness?"
"Um!"
Shu Xin was so overjoyed that she didn't notice the change in the tone of the man hugging her, and nodded heavily.
"It is said that exercise can help people fall asleep quickly. Since Xinbao can't sleep, why don't we do some 'pre-bedtime exercise' first."
"!!!"
"No, no, no, I suddenly feel very sleepy. Good night! I'm going to sleep."
After hearing the words "exercise before bedtime", Shu Xin finally realized what the man meant. Her head shook like a rattle and she immediately lay down without moving and closed her eyes.
"Oh, it's too late."
The fire has been lit, there is no reason to let the person who started it go easily.
"Hmm...I really...think...hmm..."
The words that Shu Xin hadn't finished speaking were all blocked in the man's throat. When he was released again, he made another sweet sound...
After some "pre-bedtime exercises", Shuxin was so tired that she fell asleep and entered a deep sleep. After eating, Yanmo, contentedly holding her in his arms, washed up, and fell asleep.
A dreamless night...
The next day, the group set off back to the safe base in City C.
On the way back, they clearly felt that the zombies wandering on the road had become stronger. First-level zombies were almost nowhere to be seen, and second-level zombies had become the most common.
The evolved second-level zombies smelled the human scent and rushed over with their fangs and claws bared.
They had just upgraded and needed actual combat to help them adapt to their new powers more quickly. They happened to need a large number of crystal cores, and it was just right for them to practice with these constantly emerging second-level zombies.
Except for Bu Yuanzhou, whose body impurities were being removed by Shu Xin with her supernatural powers, everyone else was collecting crystal cores. Every day they could collect a large bag of crystal cores, including some third-order crystal cores, plus an extra fourth-order water crystal core.
After clearing out the viruses and impurities accumulated in everyone's body, Shu Xin began to use her supernatural powers to purify the crystal cores diligently every day.
Not only is it needed to unlock the doomsday security base in the third layer of space, but the crystal cores they use to absorb and enhance their superpowers also need to be purified.
The energy consumed in purifying crystal cores is much less than that consumed in removing viruses and impurities from the human body. After all, Shu Xin is now a fourth-level psychic. If it is more, she can purify nearly 200 second-level zombie crystal cores every day, and if it is less, she can purify about 130.
Purifying the viruses and impurities in the crystal core does not require her to concentrate. Every day Shuxin follows the drama while releasing her supernatural power to purify the crystal core, without delaying either task.
Shu Xin and his friends were leisurely along the way and were not in a hurry at all. Every day was extremely fulfilling. On the other hand, the few people who were sent by Yan Que to wait for Yan Mo and his group at the C City Security Base were almost desperate. They secretly discussed and guessed whether Yan Mo's team knew they were coming and packed up and ran away in advance.
Just when they were about to give up, they finally heard the news that the Dawn Squad had returned.
"Hurry! Hurry! Go and visit them right now! Don't let them go out again!"
The person in charge who was sent out didn't even have time to rinse the toothpaste foam out of his mouth. He walked while calling for others to come along, fearing that he would miss someone and not know how long they would have to wait.
