Chapter 34
Its tiny mouth could actually bite through the crystal core!
More importantly, it had eaten her level two crystal core!
Yun Xiaoxiao's face darkened as she resisted the urge to throw it away.
Why on earth had she decided to keep such a gluttonous creature?
It seemed to eat everything!
The little thing ate quite quickly, finishing in no time.
After it finished, she even saw it contentedly stretch out its ten legs.
Yun Xiaoxiao: ......
[Ding! Killing one level two zombie is equivalent to ten low-level zombies. The host has now killed a total of 78 zombies.]
Yun Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow. Not bad!
If killing a high-level zombie only counted as one, it would feel rather unfair.
She got back in the car and continued driving.
After driving a short distance, Yun Xiaoxiao saw two small cars that had collided.
One car had flipped on its side, while the other had crashed into the guardrail, its hood popped open.
The door of the overturned car was open, with no one inside.
But nearby, there was a trail of bloody footprints.
In the car that had hit the guardrail, the male driver had turned into a zombie. One of his ears had been bitten off, and his neck was a gruesome sight.
Seeing Yun Xiaoxiao approach, he flailed his arms, clawing at the window, baring his teeth with an extremely distorted face.
Yun Xiaoxiao opened the car door, and it lunged at her ferociously, but was held back by the seatbelt.
Yun Xiaoxiao took out her knife and plunged it into his head.
She rummaged around inside but found nothing.
Indeed, not every zombie had a crystal core.
She cast a glance at the family photo hanging from the rearview mirror.
It showed a young couple and a little girl holding a doll.
The family looked happy, smiling brightly.
The young woman looked somewhat familiar – she was clearly the speed-type mutated zombie that had attacked her earlier.
Although her appearance had changed quite a bit, the floral dress was identical, and the body shape was similar.
The situation at the time must have been that the man was driving when the woman suddenly mutated and bit him. In the chaos, the car lost control and crashed into the oncoming vehicle.
As for why the mutated zombie was outside the car?
Yun Xiaoxiao guessed that someone from the other car had likely gotten out to check on the situation, and upon opening the door, was attacked by the mutated zombie.
The blood on the ground was ample evidence.
Yun Xiaoxiao slowly withdrew her gaze, her face devoid of any extra expression.
This was simply how the apocalypse was – cruel and merciless. She had long since grown accustomed to it.
The rest of the journey was relatively peaceful.
This area was in the suburbs, and the occasional zombie wandering on the road was simply run over by Yun Xiaoxiao's car.
Soon after, she finally reached the main highway leading to Rong City.
Here, various types of vehicles were haphazardly parked, most of them heading out of the city.
The entire highway had completely broken down.
As far as the eye could see, many zombies were mindlessly wandering about on the road.
Yun Xiaoxiao stopped about a hundred meters away from the scene.
She got out of the car, stored it in her spatial inventory, and took out a red-tasseled spear.
Given her height, the red-tasseled spear was more suitable.
The short knife was fine for killing individual zombies.
But with many zombies, she couldn't possibly throw the knife to kill them and then run to retrieve it each time.
Of course, she also didn't want to jump up and down to kill each zombie – she had no intention of exhausting herself.
As for why she didn't use a gun, that was obviously to conserve ammunition.
Each bullet used was one less in her arsenal.
Frugality was a traditional virtue of the Chinese people, after all!
Additionally, she planned to avoid using her special abilities unless absolutely necessary.
In any situation, one should always keep an ace up their sleeve.
Moreover, using her abilities consumed a lot of energy, and she didn't want to deplete all her strength just to kill a few zombies.
Without evolution liquid, recovering her energy would be a slow process, and she didn't have the luxury of time to wait.
Besides, unless she encountered high-level zombies, her current abilities were more than enough to handle these low-level ones.
Even if she did encounter danger, she could always retreat into her spatial inventory.
If it weren't for this safeguard, she wouldn't be so reckless as to venture alone into a zombie-infested city.
As soon as Yun Xiaoxiao gripped the red-tasseled spear, zombies in the distance spotted her.
They turned their heads in unison, fixing their dead fish eyes on her. Their previously lethargic demeanor changed as if they'd been injected with stimulants, and they began sprinting madly towards her.
Yun Xiaoxiao raised her eyelids slightly, the corner of her mouth curling up carelessly.
She held the red-tasseled spear, its tip dragging on the asphalt road, creating a 'sizzling' sound.
In her movements, there was a cold, murderous aura.
As the first zombie charged at her, she lightly gripped the spear shaft with one hand and forcefully slapped the butt of the spear with the other. The long spear suddenly rose like a soaring dragon, thrusting with overwhelming momentum into the zombie's head.
The first zombie, dead!
Then, she lightly swung the long spear, its sharp tip gleaming with a cold light, delivering a fatal blow to another zombie!
The airborne long spear, like a bolt of lightning, pierced through all obstacles.
Every move, every technique was a killing move that Yun Xiaoxiao had honed through bloody battles in her previous life.
Each strike was lethal!
Kill Buddha if Buddha appears, slay God if God appears!
She advanced along the highway, leaving a trail of zombie corpses behind her.
Suddenly, two zombies sprang out from behind cars on her left and right, lunging at her with bared teeth and claws.
She dodged one by sidestepping and dispatched the other with a spear thrust.
Just as she was about to turn back to deal with the first one, she twisted her head and witnessed a shocking sight.
A black scorpion, about the size of a young rabbit, was crawling on that zombie's head. Its sharp stinger pierced directly into the center of the zombie's forehead.
The zombie's eyes closed completely as it fell to the ground.
The black scorpion then jumped onto the roof of a car, looking at her proudly as if seeking praise.
Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at it.
"Are you... Little Cutie?"
The black scorpion nodded.
Yun Xiaoxiao: !!!
Little Cutie had grown bigger!
And it could even help fight zombies!
This pet wasn't kept in vain after all, it was useful!
Could it be because it had eaten that level two crystal core earlier?
