Chapter 335 Mining Crystal Cores
Since setting up camp here, Team Zero has not arranged for any survivors to patrol the island. At night, the entire island is completely silent.
Outside the window.
Darkness filled the air, and the faint roars of zombies could be heard.
Yun Zhao was indeed a little sleepy.
Xie Tu was clearly observing the evolution of the zombies outside.
Superpowered zombies have already appeared today, and there will only be more monsters of this strength tomorrow.
Even though he was sleepy, Yun Zhao still forced his eyelids open and asked, "Do you know how to play Candy Crush? Do you want me to teach you?"
Xie Tu chuckled, reached out and pressed her shoulder to turn her around, pushing her back to the doorway. "No need, I can play. Go to sleep."
Pushed forward, Yun Zhao had no choice but to reply, "Alright."
But deep down he was thinking that he definitely wouldn't play the game; he was just trying to save face for the captain.
Xie Tu didn't know what she was thinking, so he let go of her hand and let her go inside to rest.
After watching her go inside, I closed the door for them.
*
The distant horizon was faintly visible through the haze.
The coastal city in the early morning is shrouded in an unusual silence and desolation, covering up the usual prosperity and hustle and bustle.
Armored off-road vehicles sped across the suspension bridge.
The tires behind kicked up clouds of dust, followed closely by two military trucks, their roars echoing through the empty city and breaking the morning's tranquility.
Last night, the zombies that had wandered to the vicinity of the opposite bank were attracted by the roar of the vehicles and appeared from all directions, frantically chasing after the convoy.
These zombies are no longer the slow-moving monsters that people remember, who only blindly waved their hands.
Catalyzed by dark matter.
Almost all the zombies burst into running speed like humans.
Muscles twisted and bulged beneath the rotting skin, and the legs stomped powerfully on the ground as it ran, occasionally emitting chilling cries.
Even more terrifying is the emergence of an increasing number of special zombies.
Not long after they stepped outside, they encountered a zombie that let out a sharp roar, its sound waves cutting through the air like blades.
It made the sentries on the vehicle's eardrums ache.
The rabbit rubbed its ears, extended the observation window of its gun, and accurately shot the zombie dead.
She turned to look at Qi Ling, "What kind of superpower is this? A sonic attack?"
Qi Ling: "...Probably."
Rabbit: "Don't you know?"
Qi Ling felt somewhat aggrieved: "I'm just someone who reads apocalyptic novels..."
Yun Zhao didn't seem to notice anything amiss. She seemed thoughtful. "Is it targeting the Sentinels?"
“Possibly.” Xie Tu, sitting in the passenger seat, gestured, “Stop the car.”
Duan Xi is driving today.
There were only a few of them in the car; Song Liang and Tao Haohao were responsible for driving the military truck behind.
Upon hearing this, Duan Xi slowed down, waved his hand to signal the cars behind him, and then stepped on the brakes.
Xie Tu sent the peregrine falcon to deliver a message: the group of people who led the hiding of supplies yesterday should go and dig out the brain of the zombie that the rabbit had just killed to see if there was a crystal core.
They probably witnessed the true strength of Team Zero yesterday and tasted the sweetness of victory.
Thirty strong men followed him out this morning without any resistance.
Everyone was still carrying a backpack.
Before I left, I planned to do the same thing again and get more supplies this morning.
Upon hearing that they had to get off the bus to dig for crystal cores, Dong Hui, whose name was mentioned, instinctively felt dissatisfied, "Why should I go?"
Tao Haohao was too lazy to waste words with him. He threw him a hammer and said, borrowing Yun Zhao's words from yesterday, "Because you're strong, hurry up and don't waste our time."
Dong Hui's brows revealed a ruthless aura, as if it could erupt at any moment.
These superhumans were clearly stronger than him and could easily kill superhuman zombies, yet they specifically asked him, an ordinary person, to get off the bus.
He wanted to lash out fiercely, but he didn't dare to really mess with the superhuman.
He could only grit his teeth, take the hammer, and get off the vehicle.
When reading post-apocalyptic novels, everyone thinks that digging out zombie heads is pretty easy.
But now, looking at the monster's corpse lying on the ground, its face twisted and hideous, blood flowing everywhere, its murky eyes wide open, and bits of flesh and dark red blood still hanging from the corners of its mouth.
Dong Hui felt a chill run down his spine and remained silent for a long time.
He was afraid that if he hit him with the hammer, a zombie would suddenly jump up and bite him.
Tao Haohao was getting impatient. "I'll give you three minutes. If you don't move, we're driving away."
Dong Hui cursed inwardly, but had no choice but to swing the hammer and smash it hard against the corpse's head.
It seemed as if all their discontent was being vented on this lifeless zombie.
As the hammer swung, brain matter splattered everywhere, and the zombie's head was quickly smashed flat, releasing a stench that filled the air.
Dong Hui forced himself to stay awake and started searching. After a short while, he said gruffly, "Nothing!"
Tao Haohao casually said "Oh," and then added, "Get in the car and go dig up those we killed yesterday."
The back of the military truck was full of people.
Most survivors only learned of the mutated zombies' appearance at this point.
Some people were nervously swallowing, some were huddled together with their backpacks, and some were indignant.
This world is so unfair.
Even though mutated zombies have appeared, why haven't they awakened any superpowers?
Tao Haohao didn't care what they were thinking.
In his eyes, these mutants who can sleep and eat and look more like normal people than normal people are more terrifying than zombies!
Duan Xi restarted his car, and Tao Haohao followed.
Only a small number of zombies remained in the cleared sections of the road.
They almost always wander over at night.
The number wasn't large, and Xie Tu, sitting in the passenger seat, took care of them one by one.
The car quickly arrived at the street that had been cleaned the day before.
The horrific scenes from yesterday are still visible on the streets.
The defensive line made up of abandoned vehicles is still there, with shell casings and corpses scattered everywhere, and charred marks remaining all around.
The little bluebird and the fire phoenix hadn't left yet when they saw the familiar scene before them and fluttered their wings.
The little bluebird gloated, looking like it wanted to see the show.
Yun Zhao gave it a heads-up beforehand, lest it be disappointed later: "They wouldn't dare look at the hidden supplies in front of us."
The implication is that it's possible they won't see the reactions of those who discover the supplies are missing.
The little guy wouldn't leave; he was just there to watch the excitement.
Hearing this, he was clearly displeased and wished he could take these people to where they hid their things and force them to look.
Yun Zhao reassured them, "It's alright, even if they don't find out today, they will in a few days."
She pulled a few flyers from her backpack. "Go have fun. Didn't you want to see the sea? If they notice, I'll call you back."
In fact, both the individual and the spiritual entity had seen the appearance of the ocean within Fuqi's spiritual realm.
But in Fuqi's realm there are no beaches or buildings, only boundless seawater.
This polluted area, however, retains a scene from the old era, with various tourist attractions and beaches of different scenery.
Yun Zhao also wanted to see what the seaside looked like in the old days.
The little bluebird reluctantly accepted her explanation.
The little guy tilted his head and stared at the flyer, giving it a disdainful look before suddenly raising his head with an air of superiority.
The fire phoenix, understanding the situation, immediately scurried forward and picked up the flyer for the little bluebird.
The little bluebird was satisfied and flapped its wings to fly to the armored vehicle, with the fire phoenix quickly following.
Two phoenixes flew towards the sea.
The armored vehicles had stopped, and the sentries killed the zombies wandering nearby and quickly found the bodies of the mutated zombies from yesterday.
Tao Haohao yelled at Dong Hui, "Hurry up, get out of the car and keep digging."
When Dong Hui heard that it was him doing the work again, he instantly flew into a rage!
