Ch. 15



Lou Ai reached out and took out the zombie crystal core from the yellow-haired zombie's head. Unlike the transparent crystal core of the zero-order zombie, the crystal core of the first-order zombie had a light green color inside. It looked much more gorgeous and mysterious than the zero-order crystal core. Even in a peaceful era, it could be sold at a high price if it was properly handled.
  
Lou Ai held the crystal core in her hand, feeling the energy inside, and became excited.
  
She didn't think much about it when she was fighting the zombies just now. If she absorbed this crystal core, she would be able to join the ranks of the second-level zombies.

In just ten days after the apocalypse, she became a second-level zombie.
  
Is there anyone who advances faster than her?

It must be impossible for a psychic to recognize the identity of a zombie again.

When she died in her previous life, the highest-ranking psychic was only level six, which was still a rare existence among psychics.

She looked at Chen Youbo, who stood up with his teeth bared, his fingers trembling slightly. "Why don't you take the zombie core? If it weren't for you, I'd probably be dead here. Besides, my mom said boys should be gentlemen and shouldn't fight with girls for things."
  
"...Then I'll take the zombie's crystal core. This is your compensation." Lou Ai said, taking out her pile of complete zero-order zombie crystal cores from the space. There were only a hundred or so crystal cores left. "You can ask me for help if you need anything in the future."
  
"Okay." Chen Youbo took the crystal core basin and went to find the soldiers. "My people are still hiding in the storage room upstairs. I'll ask the soldiers to go up and take inventory."

Lou Ai nodded and put the crystal core in her hand into the space. The light green crystal core glowed slightly in the space.

The members of the superpower team began to clean up the scene. The fire-type superpower began to burn and clear the ice on the ground with small flames.
  
When they cleared the yellow-haired zombie, the fire-type mutant called out cautiously, "Lou Ai, you probably won't be able to use the corpse of this zombie, right? Can we put it away?"

Lou Ai looked at the person who was shouting. It was a young boy who looked familiar. He was about her age, with a few pimples on his tender cheeks. His hair was a little long, reaching his ears, and his lips were cracked.
  
Lou Ai nodded and saw the boy swiftly take out several layers of oilcloth paper, wrap the body of the yellow-haired zombie, then put it in two layers of sacks, sealed it with the kind of bag used to hold the dead in medicine, and asked someone to move it out.

"Lou Ai, these are your things, here." The boy picked up the backpack and handed it to Lou Ai.
  
"Thank you." Lou Ai looked at the boy in surprise as he walked away. She leaned against the wall opposite the elevator, took out a bottle of water from the supply bag that Yang Yang had prepared for her, unwrapped it and drank a few sips, then took a bite of chocolate and sipped it, quietly recovering her strength.

"Xiang Chunyan, come here." Someone from the superpower team called the boy. The boy's name was Xiang Chunyan, and the name sounded familiar.
  
After cleaning the corridor, Lou Ai also had a good rest. She put away her rifle, found a bottle of purple medicine from her backpack, and strolled to find the Captain Wei and the slightly fat officer. A soldier was sorting out documents next to them. When she got closer, she found that Chen Youbo was sitting next to them.

"Why didn't you go upstairs to find your teammates?" Lou Ai asked.

"I'm so tired, I have no energy left." Chen Youbo slumped in his chair. "I just took a deep breath to explain the situation to the officer. They have already sent someone to pick them up, so I won't go up. Besides, the men in my team are all armed with guns, so they should be able to protect the girls."

"Those women just count on men for protection?"
  
"Yeah, they're scared. My mom always says it's natural for men to protect women, especially in times like this, which will pass sooner or later." Chen Youbo stroked his stubble, "Protect them a little bit, and it should be good for them to take that step themselves."
  
"Something's going to happen sooner or later." Lou Ai shook her head and handed the purple potion to the slightly fat officer: "Here."
  
The slightly fat officer was stunned for a moment, then took it with a smile: "Thank you, thank you, my name is Ji Lian, his name is Wei Jun, thank you for saving him in time this time."
  
"It's my duty." Lou Ai said.

Wei Jun was about to speak when a woman's scream suddenly came from upstairs: "This is my package. You are trying to kill me for money. You want me to die!!"

"F#ck." Chen Youbo picked up the machete and rushed forward in three or two steps.
  
Lou Ai looked up when she heard the familiar voice of an old lady. It was the old lady who had been arguing in the noodle shop and the two thirty-year-old women. The old lady grabbed the package in front of her in two or three steps, and at the same time pulled the two women in front of her backwards, and then ran forward with all her might.

Behind the few people, two zombies with bared fangs and claws twisted their bodies, roared and chased the three people.
  
The old lady was short, and with this pull, she instantly caused the two women to fall backwards. The women struggled to crawl forward, but were still pounced upon by the zombies.

A creepy biting sound came from above, and there was silence all around.
  
When Chen Youbo went up, it was too late. He only had time to kill the zombies and give the two girls a quick death.
  
"F#ck, Aunt Chen, are you crazy? What are you doing? I protect you just to let you push people into the pile of loss?" Chen Youbo's voice was trembling.

“Brother Chen, you must not forget your mother’s instructions. There is nothing I can do. I’m scared. I didn’t expect this.” The aunt’s voice was trembling. The scene of zombies eating people must have been quite shocking to her. “I have followed you since the beginning of the Purple Moon. I have watched you grow up. I didn’t expect that zombies would eat people like this. I didn’t expect it.” The aunt sat on the ground, muttering.

Lou Ai closed her eyes and felt the active zombie energy in her mind.

The old lady might have had wounds infected by zombies.
 
She knocked on the table and told Ji Lian her result. The slightly plump officer immediately asked someone to go up and stand by.
  
“It’s the security team up there. Those two security guards are so arrogant that they didn’t even know zombies had entered their team. Several people were infected by the yellow-haired zombie.” The aunt cursed and said, “Those security guards are not good people either. Look at how hungry those people under them are. Moreover, they didn’t allow people in the team to come down to find the army. They planned to live in this supermarket and live there. They were just going to live there, but they were forced out by the zombies and brought disaster to our team.”
  
“What a bunch of unlucky things.” The old lady hugged her supplies tightly. “Brother Chen, I was standing next to the door of the storage room at that time, and I was scratched by a zombie. Am I going to become a zombie? I don’t want to die!”
  
“I don’t want to die!!”
  
"I don't want to die, but I don't want to become that man-eating thing either!"

The huge space was silent, with only the old lady's voice as the sound.
 
Lou Ai took out the rifle, stepped back a few steps, and threw it hard. The tip of the rifle hit the old lady's head squarely. She looked at the people around her and shouted, "Chen Youbo, I'll kill her for you. No need to thank me. She's not a good guy. The bad guy has turned into a zombie. Why are you wasting your time here? Help me take down the gun when you come down."

Everyone looked at Lou Ai. There was a moment of silence and the atmosphere relaxed.
  
The voices gradually became louder, and the action of clearing the battlefield became much faster.

"Okay." After a long time, Chen Youbo's voice became slightly hoarse.
 
Lou Ai found a bench next to Ji Lian and sat down. After the scene was cleaned up, the people hiding in the back came in one after another.
  
Lou Ai looked at Xiang Chunyan. The boy had been secretly glancing at her since the beginning when he was talking to the people around him.
  
After a while, a little girl from the group came over and said, "Sister, are you and Xiang Chunyan really high school classmates? That master?"
  
Lou Ai was stunned for a moment: "What master?"

"The master who figured out the Purple Moon's arrival in advance and allowed Xiang Chunyan and his girlfriend to avoid danger and go to Qiang'an Base in advance."
  
The fire-type mutant, Xiang Chunyan, Lou Ai remembered who he was. Wasn’t he the boy that was going to take his girlfriend to watch the meteor shower that day?
  
"I did remind you, but I'm not a master." Lou Ai retorted with a helpless smile.

"That master is you?" Even Ji Lian's eyes lit up. "Since Xiang Chunyan took his family to Qiang'an County to receive the distribution seven days ago, he has been talking about the master. He told us all about your deeds. I'm afraid our base leaders all know you. Lou Ai, can you really make a zombie vaccine?"

Lou Ai: “…”
