Chapter 241 The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character in a Post-Apocalyptic Sweet Romance Novel
Jiang He discovered the crystal core in the mall.
Crystal cores will appear in the brains of zombies as they level up.
Energy is stored within the crystal nucleus.
It's similar to the inner core in the cultivation world.
Zombies cannot survive once their crystal cores are removed.
Those with superpowers can absorb the energy within the crystal core.
This is similar to the spirit stones in the cultivation world.
In addition to ordinary crystal nuclei, there are also some crystal nuclei with special properties.
Each corresponds to a different superpower.
Only those with specific superpowers can absorb this special crystal core.
These crystal cores are sold in the mall.
Both ordinary and special crystal nuclei are available.
This is something that was newly loaded after I arrived in this world.
It has to be said, this online store truly lives up to its reputation as a bandit.
The update speed is also very fast.
They want to steal your points but are also thoughtfully preparing products for you.
The products provided are all useful.
These points should be spent, spent as much as possible.
Superpowered individuals can upgrade using crystal cores.
Zombies can be too.
Otherwise, how did the Zombie King appear?
They all upgraded by eating the crystal cores in the brains of other zombies.
A group of zombies, raised like a venomous insect, eventually produced a zombie king.
The crystal nucleus is very hard.
However, for zombies, these teeth have evolved to be even harder than crystal cores.
Level 1 crystal cores are very cheap, costing only 100 points.
Jiang He already has enough points in the mall; she counted them and found ten zeros.
One hundred points, very cheap.
A tiny fraction of a fraction.
A level 2 crystal nucleus costs 200 points, and a level 3 crystal nucleus costs 400 points.
The following figures all show exponential growth.
The highest level is a level 10 crystal core, worth 51,200 points.
This looks a bit expensive.
However, a level 10 crystal core is clearly a Zombie King-level crystal core.
Considering that this is the core of the Zombie King, it doesn't seem so expensive anymore.
There are piles of unwanted things on the street.
Once you recycle all these things, your points will quickly increase back.
Points are for spending.
The sun overhead is still annoying.
It's probably because the current level is too low.
Ordinary zombies are slowed down and become sluggish during the day due to the influence of the sun.
At night, zombies move twice as fast as during the day.
Therefore, teams usually travel during the day and rest at night, trying to avoid zombies.
In the story, ordinary zombies are greatly affected by sunlight.
They rarely wander under the sun during the day unless they are attracted by food.
Level 1 and Level 2 zombies are considered basic zombies.
They will be affected, but they will move much faster than ordinary zombies and will actively go outside to find food.
Level 3 and Level 4 zombies are intermediate zombies.
The impact is minimal; people are still out and about during the day as usual.
They will consciously improve their abilities, whether it's searching for food or fighting each other, all in an effort to strengthen themselves.
Level 5 and Level 6 zombies are considered advanced zombies.
Advanced zombies are no longer affected by sunlight.
Day and night have no effect on them.
Moreover, they have developed intelligence comparable to humans and can summon lower-level zombies to help them find food.
Level 6 and above is the level of the Zombie King.
Generally, one zombie king will appear in a certain area.
They will actively gather hordes of zombies to attack human safe bases.
Jiang He held a black umbrella in her left hand and ate crystal cores like candy in her right.
There was no one on the street, and no sign of zombies.
Those zombies have disappeared somewhere.
Without those annoying shouts, walking alone is very comfortable.
Gu Xian's team was nowhere to be found, but their destination was the safe base.
As long as Jiang He walks in that direction, she will definitely meet them.
After consuming ten level-one crystal cores, Jiang He felt some changes occurring within herself.
My body became stronger, faster, and more agile.
Moreover, their senses of sight, hearing, and smell have all been improved.
This made Jiang He feel that the smell in the air was even worse.
Jiang He has evolved into a level one zombie.
Level 1 zombies can now bite through level 2 crystal cores.
So it's not that Jiang He didn't eat high-level crystal cores from the beginning, but that she couldn't chew them.
My first bite almost broke my tooth.
Ordinary zombies can only chew through level one crystal cores.
As night fell, the number of zombies on the streets increased significantly.
Many zombies emerged from the building, searching for food.
The zombies moved around much more smoothly at night than during the day.
The roars also became much more excited.
Jiang He folded up the black umbrella.
The moonlight shining down at night was very comforting.
I felt as if I had taken a cold shower, and I felt refreshed.
My mood has improved a lot.
At least Jiang He wouldn't find the roars of those zombies so annoying anymore.
It's unclear whether the zombies were busy searching for food or sensed that Jiang He was more advanced than them and posed a danger.
This time, instead of a group of zombies appearing and blocking Jiang He's way, they didn't babble at her for a while.
Jiang He hurried forward.
The zombie's body doesn't feel tired at all.
Moreover, not eating, drinking, or resting has no effect.
Anyway, Jiang He felt that she was full of energy and in great shape.
Jiang He didn't expect to meet the male and female leads so soon.
So, is there some kind of potential connection between the male and female protagonists and the cannon fodder?
After traveling for a day and a night, Jiang He met the male and female protagonists on the street.
The male and female protagonists' group emerged from a building.
At this time, the sun has not yet fully risen.
There are still quite a few zombies on the street.
Gu Xian's team broke through the building and escaped the encirclement. They quickly got into their car and sped away.
There are too many zombies; it's not a good place to stay for long.
The more you fight, the more zombies appear.
They will not stop until the sun is fully up.
These are all experiences accumulated previously.
However, we can't wait until the sun is fully up before setting off, because then we only have half a day to travel, which is too inefficient.
Moreover, noon is a good time to collect supplies, and they will definitely need to get to the next supply collection location.
Gu Xian saw a person standing in the distance in the rearview mirror.
Was that one person?
The way it walks doesn't look like a zombie.
To dare to walk alone in the apocalypse, one must be a powerful superhuman.
Gu Xian really wanted to recruit the other party into his team.
But there were too many zombies chasing after them.
The car turned, and the figure disappeared from the rearview mirror.
Jiang He looked down at the rotting flesh on her body.
There were several more footprints on the shoes.
Are you so desperate to eat people that you're chasing after them without even looking where you're going?
It crashed directly into her.
Jiang He drew her sword and began hacking at the zombies.
"You just stepped on me."
"Roar"
You just pushed me.
"Roar"
The zombies are chasing after food, drawn by the scent in the air.
Then another one of their kind attacked from behind.
"Roar"
Why did you cut us?
"Roar"
"Did you cut the wrong thing? The food is in front of you."
"Roar"
"I know her, she's the one who likes to slay zombies."
"Roar"
"Run! This guy starts hacking at zombies without warning. He's the one who cut off my hand."
