Chapter 21 The Status Quo of the End Times
She didn't know that the intelligent zombie she killed earlier was being hunted down. She didn't know that she killed other people's prey, she just knew. The core of the third-level zombie seems, probably... not very useful to her?
Besides feeling good while absorbing energy...
Anyway, she just didn't feel it at all. She didn't know why those high-level zombies liked to absorb other people's corpse cores.
Lin Qiao quickly ran to the strawberry field, it wasn't too far anyway. Moreover, her speed has increased a lot now, and she runs like a gust of wind.
And only her, a zombie, dared to run on the road so blatantly!
It is broad daylight now, and the other zombies are walking slowly. Just because she ran like a gust of wind, was she telling others that there was a high-level zombie here? After all, other high-level zombies already have a sense of crisis and are afraid of being hunted by humans. So, they all hid.
But Lin Qiao didn't care about this, because she hadn't realized that she was a zombie yet. And her character is sometimes weak, and she doesn't think so much.
So, soon she was targeted.
"Huh? Fuck! Come quickly! A high-level zombie!" A small group of corpse hunters were resting on the third floor of a building, and one of them happened to be sitting by the window looking at the road downstairs. A figure galloped past, with bursts of smoke trailing behind.
That speed is the same as driving a sports car!
The man sitting by the window took a look, but didn't see Lin Qiao clearly. I just saw a figure from the back, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
He jumped up instantly.
In the last days, people who come out generally come out in groups. Either follow the freely formed corpse hunting team, or come out with the regular army corpse hunting team in the base. Absolutely no one dares to act alone. Even high-level supernatural beings dare not act alone.
Because no matter how powerful your abilities are, there will be times when you run out of energy. But zombies are everywhere, as soon as they find a living person, they will gather around. Although they move slowly, if there are many of them, they will slowly consume the supernatural beings to death. Because as long as the zombies smell the smell of living people, they are like wolves who see meat. Fearless only know to pounce, pounce, pounce...
"Where is it!" The others rushed over as soon as they heard the advanced zombie. They squeezed out the window together to look out, but couldn't see anything.
The young man who was the first to see Lin Qiao pushed them away. With a brace, he jumped directly from the window on the third floor.
"Stop talking nonsense! If you don't chase after me, run away!" Huang Xiao jumped down from the window and rolled neatly on the ground. Then he jumped up quickly and chased after Lin Qiao.
"Huang Xiao!" Seeing him reckless, Xie Dong chased after him, frowning and screaming.
When the others saw him jump, they all retreated. Then they rushed out and ran down to the second floor. With a bit of dexterity, they turned over from the second floor. The two slower ones finally rushed out from the first floor. A group of people followed Huang Xiao towards Lin Qiao like wolves seeing meat.
Xie Dong followed these people at the end, although his expression was very calm, but the frown still made people feel that he was very angry.
Their corpse-hunting team was formed freely. The food in the base is not in short supply now, after all, there are still some plant-type supernatural beings who can identify and give birth to plants. And each base already has a large area of agricultural products planted. Although the soil after the apocalypse is no longer comparable to that before the apocalypse, it is now in an environment where food is scarce. As long as you can eat enough and not starve to death, that's enough.
The materials left over before the end of the world have been consumed in the past few years. It has become less and less, rice flour or something. These are only high-level officials in the base can afford, and the other survivors in the base. What ordinary people can receive every day is only a piece of hard steamed bread and a small bottle of water.
These two, just eat for one day.
Living is also graded. It doesn't matter if you have no ability or power, you can only live in the big tent. Dozens or hundreds of people live in a large tent, which is very crowded and messy. Only those with abilities and managers. Only then can they afford to live in luxury accommodation such as single rooms in buildings in the base.
Moreover, the post-apocalyptic weather has also changed a lot. It is as hot as the college entrance examination during the day, and it is bitingly cold at night. The temperature difference between day and night is very large, in the 40s to 50 degrees during the day. At the coldest time at night, it is more than ten degrees, although people can't freeze to death. But still very cold.
If you want to eat something better, go to pick up the mission and go out of the base to take risks. Only when something of value is brought back can they be exchanged for better food and accommodation. Of course, if it is the core of a high-level zombie, it is very precious.
Now if you want to go out of the base, there is no requirement for the number of people. The base doesn't care about that. One person is allowed, and a hundred people are also allowed, which is very random. It's just a record of entry and exit. Especially those who come back must go through strict inspections to see if they come back with the virus.
The people who go out are usually mainly hunting zombies to get their cores. The corpse nucleus can enhance the energy of the human crystal nucleus, which is the supernatural nucleus. Therefore, powerful supernatural beings are the main combat force against zombies. So, in order to be stronger. These supernatural beings will go out to hunt high-level zombies, or buy corpse cores from others in the base.
At this time, in the team chasing Lin Qiao, apart from Huang Xiao, who was a level three peak supernatural power user, there was also the captain Xie Dong, who was level four. The others are second-level and first-level cannon fodder.
That's right. In the last days, the weak need to rely on the strong to survive, and the strong like to collect some cannon fodder to protect themselves in order to save energy.
Huang Xiao is the vice-captain of this temporary team, in terms of strength. He is the second combat power, with a third-level wind ability.
The first combat power is Xie Dong, Xie Dong is a fourth-level fire-type superpower, and his occupation before the end of the world is a special soldier. So it was only natural for him to be the captain. Moreover, his facial features are straight and tough, coupled with the rigorous temperament of a soldier, he looks very serious and unfriendly. And because of his outstanding ability, when everyone is together, he often makes decisions. Others can only obey. It's okay not to obey, anyway, he doesn't care about your life or death. No one is responsible for not obeying orders and dying outside.
But one person didn't think much of it.
After Huang Xiao was the first to jump down from the third floor, he used the wind ability at his feet. All of a sudden, he chased Lin Qiao for a long distance.
Xie Dong is in no hurry to call out from behind! He could only suppress his anger and follow behind the crowd.
The core of a high-level zombie is very precious, but don't forget the fighting power and wisdom of a high-level zombie. Zombies in the last days are difficult to upgrade and develop very slowly. So advanced zombies are very rare.
But if a third-level corpse core can be exchanged for a bag of white flour, a fourth-level corpse core can be exchanged for a bag of rice, five good quilts and several sets of clean clothes. There are too many people who want to kill advanced zombies in exchange for these things.
