The zombie gorilla lay on the ground, peaceful in death .
Xu Shuo managed to shoot the gorilla in the head . Be it human zombies or animal zombies, the weak spot was always the head .
Xu Shuo wasn't the least put off by the disgusting zombified gorilla . He even seemed a bit excited as he squatted beside the corpse, pulled out a pair of gloves, and started searching .
Honestly, he was really disgusted . He almost wanted to vomit .
I am never going to play such characters again .
Ming Shu: “…”
This guy is crazy .
“Look, this was found in its head . ” While Ming Shu was staring, Xu Shuo had opened the gorilla's head and now pointed at a golden, crystal-like object .
( Box novel . c om ) Ming Shu shone her flashlight at the object and gave a mysterious smile . “You seem to have a lot of knowledge about this . ”
Before he opened the head, he already knew that there would be a crystal .
People or animals who just turned into zombies are Level 0 zombies . If a zombie had crystals in its head, it meant that they had evolved to become Level 1 zombies .
A smaller crystal with better colorization meant that the crystal was purer . This also meant the zombie was of a higher level .
Just like in computer games .
At the start, all players and monsters were at Level 0 . Now, the monsters had started leveling up .
Xu Shuo paused for a while and then started giving his excuse . “I met a zombie the other day and decided to cut it open out of curiosity, and I found the crystal . That zombie's speed was much faster than the other zombies' and it could use earth-element power to attack people . To verify my hypothesis, I compared it with other zombies and realized the difference . That was when I suspected that the zombie had evolved .
“Zombies can level up too, just like how we can level up our supernatural powers . ”
Xu Shuo looked at Ming Shu after he finished and said, “You don't seem surprised that they have this in their heads?”
The two of them looked at each other .
What Xu Shuo said made sense . If it was him, he might really cut open a zombie in the middle of the road…
Maybe she was thinking too much .
However, Xu Shuo still gave her a weird feeling . Better to be wary of him .
“I knew it all along . ” Ming Shu was too lazy to think of an excuse .
“How did you know?” Xu Shuo became even more confused .
Ming Shu smiled . “That's what stories are always like . ”
Xu Shuo: “…” Can stories be trusted?
( Box novel . c om ) Actually, everything that was fiction before really did come true .
Although the reasoning was not very precise, the meaning is there .
“This thing could be useful . ” Xu Shuo stopped probing and tilted his head to look at the crystal . He considered it . “I still need to investigate more about its uses . ”
Even if he knew how to use these things, he would not tell her now .
She will be suspicious .
The crystals could be absorbed by people with supernatural powers to level up their abilities . In the future, it was an important source of income, too .
However, Ming Shu was not interested in the crystal .
Although the crystal could level up one's powers, it had a huge side effect .
Also, these low-level crystals would be useless once all the zombies started to level up .
There was no need to waste time and collect them now .
“Hey, don't go!” Xu Shuo didn't think that Ming Shu would leave just like that . He put the crystal into his pocket and caught up with Ming Shu . “I might make an amazing discovery if I investigate this crystal . Are you not curious at all?”
“All the best to you, then . ” Ming Shu got into her car and closed the door .
Xu Shuo stood outside . He knew what Ming Shu was going to do . He reached out and hugged the car door . “My car is wrecked . You can't just leave me here . The world will suffer a huge loss if I die . ”
He managed to find a car last time, when she left him in the city .
But now, it was all wilderness around here . How was he going to find a car?
I can't be left here .
“The heavens are jealous of you . ” Ming Shu used the Harmony System's words and replied to Xu Shuo: “Most geniuses don't live long . Don't be sad . ”
What!
I want to punch someone now!
Okay, fine, I can't win her over .
“I won't let you go if you don't agree to bring me along,” Xu Shuo said shamelessly . Luckily his character was not the cold and almighty kind .
Ming Shu searched for the knife .
“We can discuss this, just put down the knife…”
Xu Shuo backed away and glared at Ming Shu angrily . “Why are you so heartless? Do you know how hard it is to find a genius like me?”
“Who wants to find a genius like you?” Ming Shu gave him the cold shoulder in her heart .
Can't you be angry for a moment? How can I gain Hatred Points if you keep being calm?
I can't do this anymore .
Where're my snacks!
I need to calm down .
Ming Shu started the engine . However, the car didn't move .
Xu Shuo stood outside and jeered at her . “Retribution . ”
This is the price of provoking me .
Now you can't leave, either .
Very good, hahahah!
“There are zombies there . Drive in that direction . ”
The car whizzed passed a group of zombies . Xu Shuo leaned against the window, his face filled with disappointment .
“Why can't you just listen to me?”
“Why can't you just shut up?” Ming Shu sucked her lollipop .
She needed an opportunity to murder this crazy guy .
“Do you know how much of an honor this is? Do you know how much I charged per hour for people that wanted to talk to me? No, per minute?” Xu Shuo started showing off .
It was the truth . When he was invited for discussions back then, his fees were very high .
“Please continue if you want to get out of the car . ” Ming Shu turned to look at him and gave him a smile .
Xu Shuo pouted but still shut up . He took out a book from somewhere and started reading .
Then, he fell asleep .
When he woke up, the sky was already dark . The scenery outside flew past .
It was a city .
The same song had been playing in the car for the past few days . It was China's National Anthem .
“Can't we change the song?” His tone was a bit muffled as he just woke up .
“No . ” Ming Shu refused him with a single word .
“I heard that your father is from the army . Don't people from the army know how to enjoy life and wait for death? Are you trying to act like you love your country?” Xu Shuo displayed his sharp tongue .
Ming Shu's expression and voice were gentle as she replied, “I played this song because I know you don't like it . ”
Hurry! Give me some Hatred Points!
She thought that Xu Shuo would be angry, but instead, he started changing the song himself . However, he soon realized that there was only one song in the system .
“…” How to change the song when there is only one song?
They continued the journey in silence . Sometimes, they would meet a few stray zombies and Xu Shuo would shoot at them, causing them to be chased by a whole group of zombies .
Ming Shu snatched his gun away and warned him, “If you dare cause any trouble again, I will throw you out to feed the zombies . ”
