"They all leveled up by absorbing the crystal cores of other zombies!"
"Can I defeat the other zombies?"
"..." The most deadly thing is a wordless silence.
The next day, Su Chen wore the same equipment as the previous two days and followed the ability users from various protection camps at a distance.
After the superhumans killed the monsters and left, she slipped away to the dead zombies and rummaged through the crystal cores in their brains.
Looking at the semi-solidified green residue on the crystal core, Su Chen hesitated...
"Host, just bear with it, it'll pass." The system's dog-like face gradually turned gloating.
Su Chen clenched her fist, resisting the urge to punch him in the face, and pinched her nose to swallow the crystal core.
Soon, Su Chen's face turned bright red.
"Is this crystal core so hot?" the system asked curiously.
Su Chen rolled her eyes at him, her hand constantly moving down her throat, as she managed to choke out, "Give me water! I'm choking!"
After finally swallowing the crystal core, Su Chen sat on the ground and waited for a while, but found that there was no reaction at all.
It wasn't like being burned all over, as described in novels, nor did it leave me feeling refreshed and radiant after a while.
In short, she is exactly the same as she was before she ate the crystal core.
Su Chen turned her head to look at the system.
The system quickly turned its back to her.
Su Chen sighed. If she got angry with the system every day, she would be close to dying of anger.
[Ding-dong: Villain ahead, please prepare.]
As soon as the notification sound ended, Su Chen blinked and was immediately embraced.
The embrace carried a cool breeze that seeped into her already thin clothes, causing her to shiver involuntarily.
But... the arm holding her seemed to be trembling more than she was.
A trembling voice whispered in her ear, "You..."
"Hmm?" Why did it only say one word and then stop?
"It's good that you're alive." His voice was still trembling.
Tick-tock... These words, like a drop of water, fell into the lake of my heart, creating ripples.
Su Chen was stunned and momentarily speechless.
Time ticked by, and the two remained embracing...
The system, acting like a husky-like single dog, was being tortured by the situation.
He's eating a lemon that's fallen from a lemon tree right now, and the sourness is making him feel terrible.
Adhering to the principle that if he felt bad, he wouldn't let others feel bad either, the system inputted a chat prompt from the penguin attraction into Su Chen's mind: [Ahem.]
It didn't work?!
[Ahem!]
Su Chen suddenly woke up and gently pushed the two apart.
"Um..." she said somewhat awkwardly, "what are you doing here?"
Su Chen has a quirk: when she's embarrassed, she tends to talk nonsense.
"I'm looking for you." Tao Wu looked at her earnestly.
"Looking for me?" Su Chen recalled the events of that day.
That door was really tightly closed that day. When she was surrounded and people threw wood, stones, and even books at her, who sat silently behind that door as if they hadn't heard a thing?
Recalling this, Su Chen's gaze turned cold instantly, and when she looked up again, there was no warmth left in her eyes.
"Mr. Tao, you're joking. What do you want with me? Do you want me to go back and be turned away again? Or do you want those guys from the protection camp to throw me out again?" Su Chen laughed, a hearty laugh.
"No, no, no... Judging from your style, you'd probably freeze me and use me as a research specimen, or... let the superhumans practice on me, right?"
Tao Wu's breathing gradually became unstable, and finally he took a deep breath and exhaled heavily.
"Is that what you think of me?" His voice was unusually low.
