Rebirth in the end of the world, hold the ex's thigh tightly

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, Zhao Lei looked at Cheng Jing:

"Brother Cheng, is the temperature too high?"

Except for Jiang Nian, everyone else looked at Cheng Jing at the same time.

Cheng Jing looked down at his hands, a little confused, but soon shook his head and replied:

"No... I have good control. This is not my first time. Besides, this thing can't be burned out. It can be shot at with bullets. You all know that."

Don't underestimate this ordinary zombie crystal core. Once it is formed, it is truly invulnerable to swords and guns. It needs to be immersed in a special solvent and then cut with a laser. The crystal core of a mutant zombie is even more difficult to deal with.

Everyone then remembered that nothing happened the last time they burned it in the chemical pool, and they could only frown and look at the floor again.

The two crispy ones in front of me are a bit too crispy.

Jiang Nian squatted on the ground and used his supernatural power on the crystal core fragments, but there was no response. He picked it up and squeezed it. The thing that should have been extremely hard shattered like a weathered adobe. He couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"There's nothing left... This isn't normal..."

Then he pinched some powder and put it under his nose and smelled it. There was no smell. In fact, he wanted to lick it, but thought it was too disgusting.

Eating and stuff is fine, the main thing is kissing Brother Jing, so forget it.

The others followed suit and touched the crystal core powder, their expressions full of confusion.

Generally speaking, after zombies have crystal cores, they will evolve faster and faster, just like normal people or even faster than normal people.

These two are indeed going backwards as they evolve, which is really abnormal.

No need to guess, it must be related to their 'crispy' crystal cores.

"..."

Tang Yi hesitated a little and said:

"Could it be that after the zombies grow crystal cores and evolve to a certain level, the crystal cores will become fragile and die? Just like what Brother Nian guessed before."

Others have also thought of this possibility.

Cheng Jing knew it couldn't be that simple, and looked at Jiang Nian who was frowning:

"What do you think is going on, Niannian?"

He didn't know how to explain this question.

"...The crystal core is a symbol of stable energy. It has been less than a year since the zombies formed the crystal core. They should be at their peak at this stage. They will not die so quickly."

Jiang Nian shook his head and took out a thumb-sized specimen bottle. He carefully put the crystal core powder in it, stared at the bottle for a moment and said:

"There must be some other reason for the abnormality. Maybe it's related to the fact that we didn't see any zombies on the ground when we entered the hospital... It's as if these crystal cores have been drained of energy, leaving only residual shells without nutrients."

He had never heard of such a situation in his previous life, and he had a bad feeling in his heart, but also a vague expectation.

The more special it is, the more research value it has. His rebellious gene has been activated. Moreover, the energy extracted from the crystal core means a major breakthrough!

But until we figure out the reason, we can't say too much for now.

"Okay, let's continue down. Everyone be careful and get to the second floor as soon as possible."

Cheng Jing used a light to illuminate the surroundings, worried about the surrounding situation and didn't think too much about it. He just felt that the situation was unusual and shouldn't stay too long. He made a gesture and the team went down to the 4th floor.

Zhao Lei walked in front holding a steel shield that was transformed by his supernatural powers. The others were also alert and waiting with their supernatural powers ready.

There were dozens of zombies in the corridor on the 4th floor. Like the two on the 5th floor, they were slow and had weak combat power, but they had crystal cores. They would shatter into powder with just a touch and then become a small pile of gray-black sand when mixed together.

However, this time Jiang Nian felt a residual energy fluctuation of supernatural powers from the pile of crystal core powder.

Make sure you are not wrong, think it over and express your thoughts:

"We didn't find any signs of other people coming here, so I guess a zombie with special powers must have used some special powers here to drain the crystal core energy of other zombies. Before they could recover, they were attacked and became like this."

Crystal nuclei are formed and generated to store energy to promote the evolution of zombies, so it is normal that they can be consumed and replenished.

Just like human psychics, after overdrawing their powers, they can slowly recover.

It’s just that when humans encounter zombies, they rarely consume the zombies’ crystal core energy to the point of exhaustion.

"..."

"what?"

"This……"

Everyone's faces changed when they heard this. Being able to drain the energy of the crystal core, this ability was too terrifying:

Mutant zombies are mutated from being infected by mutants. They can drain the crystal core energy of zombies, and they can definitely drain the crystal core energy of human mutants.

Isn’t it terrifying to think about it carefully?

They are all psychics and have crystal cores!

"Everyone try to be careful."

Jiang Nian warned in a serious tone that this ability to extract crystal cores would most likely require some kind of mental attack assistance, so he began to use his ability to the greatest extent possible.

As long as they are not attacked mentally, the teammates will be fine.

Using his supernatural powers under this kind of pressure can also allow him to get better training.

The number of zombies increased as you went down, and the entire corridor on the third floor was filled with zombies wandering back and forth. Some were wearing white coats, some were wearing hospital gowns and work uniforms, and there were both men and women, young and old.

There are four zombies with special powers among them, two with improved physical fitness, one with fire attribute and one with wood attribute, but they are still very weak and fragile, and they can’t even use their special powers.

Ice cones, vines, steel needles, thunder and fire, and teammates took turns to attack, and only ashes and the smell of burning were left in the corridor.

Although the crystal cores of the four mutant zombies would not turn into powder at the slightest touch, they were extremely brittle and would crumble into pieces with a slight squeeze of the palm.

After clearing out all the zombies, Jiang Nian took out another small bottle and collected the broken crystal cores of the mutant zombies.

Then he told his teammates again:

"The energy fluctuations here are more obvious, and the traces are very fresh. The real owner is nearby."

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be so many people in the medicine store building. It's likely that they turned into zombies and broke in or were summoned.

Cheng Jing thought for a moment and said:

"Go down to the medicine store on the second floor. There are no signs that anyone has been here, but there are some things here. We should search as quickly as possible and take them away... But safety comes first. If you find any danger, retreat immediately. Don't be stubborn. We should make new plans after returning to the ground."

They must not be careless with such evil powers, otherwise they will be in trouble.

"clear."

Everyone answered in unison that leaving a troublesome zombie underground would be a hidden danger, and it would be best if they could get rid of it, but if that wasn't possible, they would go back and report to the command center before coming back.

The atmosphere became solemn, and the team continued to descend along the inclined stairs.

Jiang Nian, whose supernatural power lacked offensive power, loaded his gun with a "click". He felt that he was fully capable of leading the charge and was ready to use his supernatural power to assist in suppressing the crazy fight.

It's true that I'm afraid, but it's also true that I feel a bit pervertedly excited.
