Xu Xin broke down. Where was his brain? He had no brain. "I don't have one. I'll give you this hand."
He gave up, and now he's cold and in pain, and everyone looks at him with disdain.
Several people who were just chatting and laughing with him and who respected him before are now treating him like this.
He cast a resentful glance at Ye Zhi's family. It was all their fault; if they hadn't come, he wouldn't be in this miserable state now.
He's going to fight them to the death!
Xu Xin's fragile psychological defenses were broken down time and time again. His eyes were red as he shouted, and violent emotions surged into his heart, "Don't live anymore, don't all live anymore! What five thousand catties of rice? I don't have it!"
Xu Xin is a fire-type ability user, and the fireballs he releases attack everyone indiscriminately.
"Stop living, all of you just die, become zombies!"
"Uh..."
He screamed madly, veins bulging on his face, his black pupils gradually turning leaden gray, and his gaze toward the crowd became greedy and bloodthirsty. The flesh of the index finger that Ye Zhi had injured turned blackish-red.
!
[Zombieification!]
A zombie-like roar escaped from Xu Xin's throat, "Roar."
The zombie Xu Xin's nose twitched; it was the smell of a human, the smell of a living person.
He was so hungry!
He lunged at Wang Yike, who was closest to him. The zombie Xu Xin opened his blood-red maw, a size that no ordinary person could achieve. The skin on the corners of his lips could not withstand the sudden force and tore open, oozing blackish-red blood.
While dodging the fireball, Wang Yike was caught off guard and a chunk of flesh was torn off his left shoulder by the zombie Xu Xin.
Cotton fibers flew everywhere, and blood splattered.
Wang Yike screamed in agony, "Ah!" He looked at Xu Xin, who had turned into a zombie, his face filled with shock, fear, and bewilderment.
What happened? How did their captain at the Liaoyuan base turn into a zombie?
Will he turn into a zombie too if he gets bitten by the zombie captain?
Yes, that's the answer he knows, but he doesn't want to become a zombie.
He frantically moved away from Xu Xin, repeatedly throwing water balls he conjured at Xu Xin who was trying to approach him, crying out, "I'm a human! I'm a human! Please save me! Don't kill me!"
As Wang Yike shouted, the attacks from all the superpowered individuals in the conference room reached the zombie Xu Xin and the bitten Wang Yike.
"boom!"
"puff!"
"Sizzle!"
"Splash."
Although the others at the Liaoyuan base wanted to save Wang Yike, they didn't dare to, and could only close their eyes and unleash their powers on them.
Various supernatural abilities were precisely applied to the zombies Xu Xin and Wang Yike.
Wang Yike completed his zombie transformation while screaming, "Ah, don't kill me, uh, roar."
The wound on his shoulder was so large and shocking that a piece of flesh had been torn apart by the zombie Xu Xin's gaping maw along his scapula, humerus, and radius. Even the skin on the back of his hand had been torn away. Except for the side near the mid-axillary line, the rest of Wang Yike's left arm was so deep that the bone was visible.
With such a large wound, the zombie virus will quickly enter Wang Yike's body. Even if a great immortal were present, they would not be able to change Wang Yike's zombie transformation.
Wang Yike is destined to become a zombie.
The attacks from the sixty-four superpowered individuals in the conference room all landed on the zombies Xu Xin and Wang Yike, and the two zombies were blasted to pieces by the superpowers.
This conference room was also destroyed.
The remaining 64 people were divided into two teams: one team consisted of eight people from the Liaoyuan Base, and the other team consisted of people from other bases and Ye Zhi's family.
The group in the new meeting room looked at the people from the Liaoyuan base with questioning eyes.
As the host, Chen Yunhao should speak first: "How did Xu Xin from your Liaoyuan Base turn into a zombie?"
The eight people at the Liaoyuan base knew they were isolated. Their faces were pale and sallow as they shook their heads. They didn't know, and they were just as confused.
A tall, thin, middle-aged man spoke with a trembling voice, "I remember now. Ever since Xu Xin learned that eating zombie crystal cores could increase his strength, he would absorb the zombie crystal cores he obtained every time, and he would even ask us for crystal cores."
“Every time he finishes absorbing the crystal core, he becomes very violent and…brainless.”
The six people who knew about the side effects of the zombie crystal core exchanged glances.
No wonder I thought he was an idiot; apparently, the zombie virus ate his brain.
Qi Wenxu, who was slightly more handsome among the eight, slapped his forehead. Now that you mention it, he remembered, "Right, Xu Xin invited us to eat zombie crystal cores with him before."
"How could we dare eat that? It's disgusting stuff pulled out of a zombie's brain."
The others chimed in, “Yes, none of us ate any. Only Xu Xin and Wang Yike were eating zombie crystal cores in the entire Liaoyuan base.”
"Luckily I didn't eat it; I was just planning to eat one today."
"Their strength has increased too fast. We are still level one ability users, Wang Yike is already level two, and Xu Xin is even level three ability user."
"Xu Xin and Wang Yike both treat crystal cores like food."
“These two become very abnormal after each time they eat a zombie crystal core. They look at me as if they want to eat me up.”
The eight people from the Liaoyuan base took turns explaining the unusual behavior of Xu Xin and Wang Yike.
The sixty-four people, some standing and some sitting, separated from them by a table, all fell silent.
They searched their minds for any memory of having eaten zombie crystal cores.
Everyone except Ye Zhi's family breathed a sigh of relief.
That's great! I've never eaten it before. Who knew that crystal cores that can't be broken even by lightning or fire could actually be eaten!
Ye Jingyu and the others, who had already eaten the zombie crystal cores, were not worried. As the apocalypse master Ye Yubai had personally said, eating a few would be fine.
Moreover, almost two months have passed, and none of them felt that their personalities or behaviors had changed.
Old Master Song said impatiently, "Alright, let's go, let's go search for supplies."
Chen Yunhao stood up from his seat and said to the group from Liaoyuan Base, "The eight of you from Liaoyuan Base will be incorporated into our Victory Base for now. The supplies you receive will still belong to Liaoyuan Base."
Firstly, Chen Yunhao wasn't sure if the eight of them were telling the truth when they said they hadn't eaten the zombie crystal cores. By incorporating them into the Victory Base, his squad could still keep an eye on these eight people.
Secondly, the captain and deputy captain of the Liaoyuan Base are both dead, leaving the Liaoyuan Base team leaderless. Moreover, Xu Xin is not only the captain of the Liaoyuan Base team participating in this material search, but he is also the founder of the Liaoyuan Base.
The eight people at the Liaoyuan Base had no objections; they have now been incorporated into the Shengli Base and may receive even more supplies.
At the entrance of the Victory Base, dozens of oversized trucks, more than a dozen pickup trucks, five military armored vehicles, and a motorhome drove out of the base one after another, heading west.
These vehicles and the people inside carried the hopes of the survivors within their base.
