Riding on His Coattails and Surviving the Apocalypse - Chapter 19

Chapter 19 Go Out In Distress
Lou Xiaoluo was stunned. Could it be that this iceberg actually likes to read novels and is really trying to find crystal cores? Isn’t the contrast a bit big? If Di Qiu did this, it would be more acceptable. I didn’t expect Qi Han to actually be this kind of person. Tsk tsk tsk. Perhaps because Lou Xiaoluo’s eyes were too bone-piercing, Qi Han’s face actually turned a little red.

‘”I think it’s new, because I didn’t look for it before. However, I remember that some novels say that zombies need to undergo some evolution before they can form crystal cores. They need to be cleaned or stored for a period of time before they can be used. That’s why I haven’t given up. Well, because I’m a fan of books, I’ve read more. I don’t know if it’s true or not.” Lou Xiaoluo explained.

“Regardless of whether it’s true or not, we’ll go out to fight the zombies and collect more crystal cores.” Ji Shitian looked at the crystal core in his hand and was very interested, because he could feel the energy inside, but it wasn’t much, but it should be able to be absorbed. As for the absorption method, Ji Shitian looked at Lou Xiaoluo and didn’t say anything. Lou Xiaoluo just smiled foolishly, indicating that she was very harmless. “Also, don’t touch the crystal core directly. We’ll talk about it after we study it.” After saying that, he arranged for Bai Yuli, Qi Han, Xu Jin, and Lou Xiaoluo to bring people out to collect the crystal cores.

This was Lou Xiaoluo’s first time on a mission with everyone. Although her ability level was temporarily higher than theirs, she thought that if she really fought, Lou Xiaoluo would only get beaten up. In addition, Bai Yuli was a monster. Lou Xiaoluo felt that her IQ was not high enough among these people, so she was not blind. Therefore, she was completely obedient to the commands of the leaders. She definitely meant to fight anywhere. Bai Yuli and the others had known each other for a long time. Cooperation was even more tacit, so she was originally worried that Lou Xiaoluo had a weak sense of cooperation. Relying on her high level of ability, she was too expressive. She was also afraid that she would have the charm of a woman. She did not expect Lou Xiaoluo to be very sensible and her performance was remarkable. After this battle, Bai Yuli only had a few words for Lou Xiaoluo. She had good ability, good coordination, good communication, and was a good subordinate. Lou Xiaoluo did not expect that she did not want to be in the mood to become the first bird in the fight, so she indirectly got a good evaluation in the team.

Currently, zombies were mostly First Grade zombies. To them, there was no danger at all. However, because there were more zombies, they were more exhausted in battle. Thus, a few people immediately moved after fighting in one place. After an hour, they also collected a lot of crystal cores. “Let’s find a place to rest.” Although they still had some strength left, there were still a lot of First Grade zombies. No one dared to guarantee that there would be Second Grade zombies. So, they needed to ensure that they were in their best condition to face the following battles.

Lou Xiaoluo’s eyes shone brightly as she looked at Bai Yuli. The crystalline cores that everyone had dug up had all entered Bai Yuli’s space. Although these first-grade crystalline cores weren’t very useful to Lou Xiaoluo, they were all money. Perhaps it was because Lou Xiaoluo’s eyes were too hot, and Bai Yuli and the others, who were recovering their abilities, opened their eyes. Lou Xiaoluo looked at everyone’s eyes and blushed, “Haha, you guys continue, continue, I’m just looking, haha.” After saying that, she shook her head and closed her eyes to calculate how many cores she could get. Sigh, if not for the fact that they had been watching her every move during the battle earlier, she would have put some cores into her own space. A woman should have some private money.

Suddenly, Lou Xiaoluo’s body tightened. She opened her eyes and saw everyone’s serious expressions. She sighed in her heart. These people’s abilities were all lower than hers, but their perception and mental strength weren’t much weaker than hers. Perhaps they were much stronger. Could it be that her reborn golden finger had ended before it could work? Should this golden finger be so thin?

“Looks like a Second Grade zombie has appeared. I hope it’s only at the beginner level.” Only Lou Xiaoluo had reached Second Grade, Although their abilities weren’t bad, But if there are too many Second Grade zombies, They probably wouldn’t be able to handle it either. Everyone grabbed their weapons and began to guard secretly. Bai Yuli was also studying the route to break out of the encirclement. Their strength was still too weak. If they were stronger, these zombies would have been sent to Lai. Unfortunately, the zombies seemed to have evolved faster than they imagined. Bai Yuli’s expression was slightly bad when she thought of it.

Although they didn’t know why Lou Xiaoluo’s ability level was higher than theirs, with their talent, most of them should be at rank 0 now. Therefore, in comparison, zombies evolved far more than humans. At the current low level, it was impossible to tell if the zombies had surpassed the humans by a large margin when they reached the high level. That would be dangerous. As for Lou Xiaoluo, Bai Yuli looked at her nervously on guard. No matter what secret she had, Bai Yuli wasn’t worried. This was confidence in her own strength.

“I’m afraid the leader is a Second Grade Intermediate Spirit Zombie. I just felt like I was being monitored.” In her previous life, Lou Xiaoluo had heard that mental zombies were the most difficult to deal with, and the most difficult to evolve, so their strength was actually higher than the level they displayed. Lou Xiaoluo had no problem dealing with this mental zombie, but if there were more of them, they would probably have to explain themselves here.

“Guns are ready. Normally, zombies use guns. Save their abilities. Don’t fight. Retreat first. If it’s a Tier 2 Spirit zombie, there should be a lot of Tier 1 zombies. Everyone, save yourselves.” Bai Yuli’s analysis was correct. When no less than twenty First Grade zombies and dozens of ordinary zombies appeared outside, Everyone’s expressions changed. It wasn’t just because of the number of zombies. More importantly, the Second Grade zombie didn’t appear. He hid. This meant that the zombies with higher levels weren’t just those with lower levels of control. They also had some intelligence. Perhaps the higher the zombie level, the higher the intelligence. This wasn’t a good discovery.

“Everyone, take your men and run separately. See you at the villa.” Bai Yuli looked at them. Although they were more effective together, But the goal is too obvious, It’s not good for concealment. Moreover, there are some ordinary people in the team. They may not be the opponents of these zombies, but it’s not difficult to escape. Lou Xiaoluo looks at Bai Yuli’s worried eyes and smiles, “Don’t worry, although there’s no way to take down the zombies outside, it’s still not a problem to survive. Second brother, don’t underestimate your fifth sister.” Lou Xiaoluo actually raised her hands in favour of separating. She also had space. If she did not enrich her own small vault at this time, she would be sorry for Spatial Jade.

“Qi Han retreats eastward, Xu Jin retreats southward, Xiaoluo retreats westward, and I retreat northward. Don’t delay or fight along the way. If we encounter danger, hide well and we will come out to help.” After saying that, he took the lead and ran away. Lou Xiaoluo did not bring anyone along. This was what she requested. Bai Yuli also understood that it was easier for her to escape. Moreover, most of them were here to attract and lose people. It seemed that she was relatively safe.

As Lou Xiaoluo ran, she gathered the crystal cores. Bai Yuli still took care of her. This path was the closest to the main camp. If it wasn’t for Bai Yuli’s prescribed return time, Lou Xiaoluo would have wanted to meet the Second Grade Spirit Zombie. It was a pity that the Second Grade crystal cores were very useful to her.

Although Lou Xiaoluo really wanted to return smoothly, the cannon fodder halo was very strong. It was a dream to be able to get a lot of good things without being scared like the pigs’ feet. No, the Second Grade zombie led his three First Grade zombies and slowly appeared in front of her. Lou Xiaoluo touched the gun on her waist. Fortunately, there was a silencing device, otherwise, she would have rushed over before the other zombies were finished.

The First Grade zombies did not possess any special abilities, but their physical strength had increased by a lot. The bullets did not cause much damage to their bodies, and only by hitting their eyebrows could they be eliminated. Although zombies are dead humans, But they’re not the kind of people who just stand there and wait for you to beat them up, This was because their speed had increased a lot. In addition to Lou Xiaoluo’s spear technique, she was really unable to take action. If it wasn’t for her ability awakening and body function increasing, she probably wouldn’t have been able to kill a zombie even if the bullets had all been shot. However, the situation wasn’t much better now. There was no bullets left, and there was also a First Grade Speed Zombie and the Second Grade Mental Zombie.

Lou Xiaoluo kicked down and attacked the First Grade zombie first. An ice knife cut the neck of the First Grade zombie and pulled out a long knife from the space, cutting open its head to take out the crystal core. Suddenly, he felt a headache and his eyes darkened. However, his body instinctively rolled to the right, dodging the claws of a Second Grade zombie. Lou Xiaoluo quickly climbed up and jumped out of her position before taking a few deep breaths, The headache seems to have eased a little, Her mental strength is higher than this zombie. If it weren’t for his sneak attack, that situation wouldn’t have happened just now. However, Lou Xiaoluo deeply reflected that if she was careful not to be greedy and hurry to get the crystal core, this situation wouldn’t have happened. If it weren’t for her higher mental strength, she would have died in the zombie’s mouth just now. It’s very dangerous.

Lou Xiaoluo looked at the zombie wearing a tattered suit with a pale complexion and a bloody mouth. She looked at the saber in her hand and decided not to use her ability. She wanted to increase the fighting strength of her Flowing Cloud Saber Technique. The Second Grade zombie seemed to be killed by Lou Xiaoluo because of his younger brothers, Thus, she angrily rushed towards Lou Xiaoluo. Lou Xiaoluo smiled and brandished her saber to meet her. The Second Grade zombie raised its arm to block her attack. One person and one zombie took a few steps back. Lou Xiaoluo touched her little arm. It seemed that her arm strength needed to be strengthened. The Second Grade zombie’s arm was about to be cut off, causing it to howl as it rushed over.

A small theater

Lou Xiaoluo: When I’m strong in the future, I’ll throw one crystal core at another. Whoever doesn’t like it, I’ll hit him with the crystal core. Thinking about how many people cried and begged me to hit him, Lou Xiaoluo has a strange satisfaction that she just said that there is Long Batian in this world.

Ji Shitian looked at Lou Xiaoluo, who was laughing more and more wretchedly. He snorted softly. Lou Xiaoluo’s gaze shifted to this side, and her face immediately became bitter. She forgot that there was a Heaven Slaughter here. Batian seemed to be, well, hey, not to mention, it was all tears.
