Sharp earth spikes pierced the zombie's left temple, then squeezed the zombie's crystal core out from its right temple. The space-type zombie's right brain was smashed open by its own crystal core, which dropped to the ground. Ye Yubai quickly manipulated the vines to pull it back and bring it to Ye Jingyu's side.
This is the crystal core of a level 2 zombie, and it even has a spatial attribute. It's not the crystal core of a level 1 zombie with no attributes that you see everywhere on the street. Now everyone here knows that eating zombie crystal cores can enhance your superpowers. When there's too much profit, there will always be fools. Even if everyone saw Xu Xin's fate, there will always be some brainless people who will be tempted.
Water overflowed from Ye Jingyu's fingertips as he cleaned the zombie crystal core, which was covered in white brain matter and blackish-red blood. He wiped the cleaned crystal core with a tissue and then handed it to Grandpa Song, who was holding Ye Zhi.
The crystal core in Ye Jingyu's hand suddenly disappeared, but no one found it strange, because they had previously mistakenly thought that Song Moshang had spatial abilities.
The white spatial ability crystal core was lying among the colorful pile of crystal cores in Ye Zhi's personal space, and the white one was very eye-catching.
The level-two zombie, having lost the crystal core in its brain, fell to the ground unwillingly, white brain matter and dark red blood flowing from its temples and spreading across the snow.
It is a zombie with spatial abilities. When either a human with spatial abilities or a spatial zombie dies, it will release the contents of its space.
What this zombie dropped were over a hundred level-one zombies and zombie crystal cores within the space.
Zombies are inanimate objects and can be stored in a spatial dimension.
As soon as these hundred-odd zombies were exposed, their nostrils were filled with the smell of living people.
"Roar!"
I'm so hungry, I've been hungry for so long, I want to eat people!
The newly joined zombies joined the previous zombies in rushing towards the living people in front of them.
Tang Xubai shouted, his voice booming with youthful vigor, "The level two zombie is dead! Brothers, follow me and kill these minions!"
His words inspired the other, somewhat weary base members, and the death of the level-two zombie spurred all the survivors present, their eyes shining brightly.
Zhao Zhiyuan, the captain of Dawn Base, roared, "Ah—, charge! I can still fight! We've killed level two zombies, what are level one zombies? Watch out for my fireballs!"
After Zhao Zhiyuan finished speaking, the fireball he conjured flew towards the horde of zombies in front of him. Zhao Zhiyuan was a level one ability user. His fireball was not big, only the size of a pack of M-shaped tissues, but he summoned the momentum of thousands of troops. This was because the water columns, tornadoes, metal wires, mental spikes, fireballs, lightning, and so on that everyone behind him conjured behind the fireball.
The original thousand or so zombies had been reduced to only about a hundred by the group. The main credit went to Ye Zhi's family, whose superpowers were the strongest, so they naturally killed the most zombies.
The remaining hundred zombies, plus the hundred or so that just spawned from the level two zombie space, only amount to about two hundred. With about sixty people present, each person only needs to kill less than four zombies to resolve this crisis.
The fact that zombies' weakness lies in their brains is common knowledge among all survivors, and everyone's attacks are directed at the zombies' brains.
"Pfft, pfft, thud, thud." The zombies' white brain matter and the blackish-red blood spurting from their necks splattered all over the ground, followed by the sound of their heads falling into the snow.
The snow had been falling for over a month, and the accumulated snow on the ground had turned into high-density, hard blocks of snow. When the not-so-bright heads of zombies fell to the ground, they would make a "thump" sound.
After more than two hours of clearing out the zombies, they finally eliminated all of them. Everyone looked exhausted. Ye Zhi and the other six pretended to be tired in order to make themselves seem less unusual. In fact, these were only about a thousand level one zombies, which was a piece of cake. Except for that level two spatial ability zombie, which was a little bit troublesome and took a little effort from them, they were all level three or four ability users on average.
The people from all eight bases surrounded Old Master Song's family. They could see clearly that the fireballs and lightning bolts of the other people were much larger than theirs. The one named Song Yuanqing released lightning bolts that were even thicker than those of Chen Yunhao, a level two ability user. She must be a level three lightning ability user. These people had been hiding their strength when they fought Xu Xin.
Damn it, is this family trying to defy the heavens? Do they even want ordinary people like us to live?!
The people who gathered around praised the family one after another.
"Ye Jingyu, you guys are amazing! This little kid is amazing too."
"Yes, I saw it all. It was that little kid's spiked earth that killed that level two zombie!"
"What? Oh my god, that's awesome!"
…
Ye Zhi wasn't in the mood to listen to their flattery; she was thinking about the plot.
Higher-level zombies can control lower-level zombies to attack humans, and level 2 zombies have a better sense of smell and intelligence than level 1 zombies.
The previous zombie horde was controlled by this level-two zombie, which possesses spatial abilities and knows how to use them to hunt for food. It used its understanding of spatial teleportation and the effects of space to move over a hundred zombies from three kilometers away to the vicinity of the village.
Even if a level 2 zombie has a better sense of smell than a level 1 zombie, it doesn't fit the original story.
The author of the original novel, "I Became a Queen in the Apocalypse by Relying on a System," set the following limits for zombie perception: Level 1 zombies can sense the presence of living people within a 10-meter radius, Level 2 zombies can sense the presence of living people within a 100-meter radius, and Level 3 zombies can sense the presence of living people within a 500-meter radius...
Even if this level-two zombie has spatial abilities, how could it sense that there are living people in this village from three kilometers away?
The storyline in the human world has collapsed, and the storyline in the zombie world has collapsed too?
Or is there a mole within? Ye Zhi's gaze swept over the people in the other bases, carefully observing their expressions while also checking if anyone was missing.
Everyone present, except for the few who were inseparable from her, including the ten people from Victory Base and the two people from Peace Base who came to eat, were suspects.
She only trusted her family, who were bound to her by blood, and Lu Ke and Ye Yubai, who had taken the Loyalty Pill. She didn't trust anyone else.
There were no missing people at Victory Base, and their micro-expressions were perfectly normal.
All is normal at Ping An Base, Xinghuo Base, Shuguang Base, Xiwang Base, Xingfu Base, and Heping Base.
Liaoyuan Base, Liaoyuan Base has one, two, three... seven, eight? Where is the eighth person at Liaoyuan Base?
Qi Wenxu from the Liaoyuan Base has disappeared!
Ye Zhi remembered Qi Wenxu's appearance and name because Qi Wenxu was one of the more handsome ones among the remaining eight people at the Liaoyuan Base.
Ye Zhi and Grandpa Song's spiritual power spread outwards simultaneously, their previous spiritual power had been probing towards the zombie horde.
