English Novel
Chapter 33
In the days that followed, Yun Xiaoxiao stayed alone at the dog shelter, continuing to train according to her own schedule.0
Occasionally, when zombies appeared nearby, she would clear them out.0
But she wouldn't venture too far, always staying within sight of the shelter's main gate.0
Yet after waiting for nearly a month, the big brother still hadn't shown up.0
She couldn't help but wonder if her rebirth had caused a butterfly effect, preventing the person who was supposed to appear here at this time in her previous life from showing up.0
However, during this month-long wait, she hadn't wasted her time.0
Her overall combat ability had increased directly to level 7.0
Whether it was speed, strength, endurance, agility, or combat prowess, she had made significant progress in all areas.0
Only her supernatural ability level remained unchanged, still at the high end of level two.0
There was no helping it; so far, she hadn't found any crystal cores in the zombies' heads.0
Perhaps she hadn't killed enough of them to encounter one with a crystal core, or maybe the zombie crystal cores hadn't evolved yet.0
Besides improving her overall abilities, her relationship with Little Scorpion had also become more harmonious.0
Now it would often cling to her shoulder.0
If you didn't look carefully, you might think it was just an accessory on her body.0
She had given it a name: Little Cutie.0
As for the dogs in the shelter, she had released them all.0
Partly because Little Cutie seemed to dislike dogs, often scaring them and making them howl, which hurt her ears.0
The other reason was that she had no experience raising dogs, and had even been chased by one before, leaving her with a psychological shadow. She definitely wouldn't be taking them with her in the future.0
Rather than leaving them locked up here to die, it was better to let them go out and try their luck. Even if they died, at least they would have known freedom.0
Big White tended to the space every day, and after all this time, some vegetables had already matured.0
Big White had already started planting fruits, and she believed that soon there would be fresh fruit to eat.0
Looking at the empty entrance, a trace of disappointment flashed across Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes.0
There seemed to be no point in waiting any longer.0
She had already waited an extra half month.0
If the big brother was going to come, he would have been here by now.0
Since he hadn't shown up until now, he probably wasn't coming at all.0
She couldn't just keep waiting here.0
In her previous life, after the big brother took her away from here, they went straight to Rong City.0
Although she didn't know why he wanted to head towards the place with the most zombies, she had a vague guess that he seemed to be looking for something.0
If that was the case, she would make a trip to the city.0
Firstly, to see if she could run into him.0
Secondly, to complete her own mission.0
So far, she had only killed 65 zombies, still far from her goal of one thousand.0
Rong City had many zombies, making it satisfying to kill them.0
Additionally, she could help herself to things she needed.0
For instance, that gun shop - who knew if there were still guns and ammunition inside?0
"Let's go, Little Cutie, we're off to kill zombies!"0
Yun Xiaoxiao opened the shelter's main gate, sat in the passenger seat, and called out to the little scorpion.0
Little Scorpion immediately crawled up the tire, over the window, and onto Yun Xiaoxiao's shoulder.0
"Vroom~"0
She stepped on the gas, and the girl and her scorpion headed towards Rong City.0
But just as they were passing through a dark tunnel, an unidentified object suddenly crashed heavily onto the car's hood.0
Yun Xiaoxiao slammed on the brakes.0
The unidentified object screamed and immediately bounced onto the ground.0
In the light of the headlamps, Yun Xiaoxiao finally saw clearly what it was in front of her.0
It was a skeletal female zombie!0
She wore a floral dress, her feet were bare, and her body was reduced to little more than bones. The right side of her face had been bitten off, leaving only dry, rotten flesh with maggots crawling over it.0
Her joints moved unnaturally, her whole body arched, crouching on the ground like a beast.0
Suddenly, she jerked her head up, fixing her gray-white pupils on the direction of the car.0
The next second, she bared her teeth, revealing a large blackened mouth, howling madly, and sprinted forward like a wild beast released from its cage, at an unbelievable speed!0
Yun Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow. Was this... a speed-type mutated zombie?!0
She hadn't expected mutated zombies to appear so early!0
She gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, staring directly at the approaching mutated zombie, her lips gradually pressing into a thin line.0
"Vroom~ Vroom!"0
The car suddenly accelerated, heading straight for the mutated zombie.0
But the zombie was not only fast but also incredibly agile. The moment the car was about to hit it, it quickly dodged and leaped onto the car roof in one swift motion.0
Yun Xiaoxiao continued driving, ignoring it.0
After all, the roof hatch was locked from the inside, so even if it was outside, it couldn't get in.0
And this was a tunnel, pitch black inside, not the most suitable battlefield for her.0
The car sped out of the tunnel like lightning.0
At a curve, she slammed on the brakes, executing a cool drift. Another piercing scream came from the roof.0
Yun Xiaoxiao knew the zombie had been thrown off again.0
She opened the roof hatch and quickly climbed out, her movements clean and efficient.0
Standing on the car roof, she drew her gun, vigilantly observing her surroundings.0
Suddenly, a familiar figure rapidly climbed up from beyond the guardrail.0
In the sunlight, it looked even more terrifying. Its joints were clearly visible, its body nothing but skin and bones. The skin on its fingers and toes was completely torn off, and its eyeballs seemed about to pop out.0
Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes narrowed as she fired her gun.0
She had calculated the mutated zombie's movement trajectory and fired a feint.0
So when the zombie changed direction, it didn't realize it had been tricked by Yun Xiaoxiao!0
"Bang!"0
The bullet, incredibly fast, shot precisely into its head.0
Looking at the fallen mutated zombie, Yun Xiaoxiao jumped down from the car and approached step by step.0
She didn't let her guard down, still remaining vigilant.0
Seeing that the zombie was truly dead, she finally used her knife to probe around in its head.0
Finally, an orange crystal core covered in pale yellow, sticky fluid fell out of the zombie's head.0
Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up. There really was a crystal core!0
Generally, beginner and level one zombies might have level one crystal cores, level two zombies would produce level two crystal cores, and so on, with level ten zombies having level ten crystal cores.0
Beginner and level one zombies didn't necessarily have crystal cores in their heads, but level two and above zombies usually did.0
Beginner zombies were the lowest-grade zombies, not only lacking intelligence but also weak in combat ability.0
But starting from level one zombies, they would slowly begin to have some intelligence. Although they couldn't think like humans, they possessed the keen senses of animals and the ability to perceive danger.0
The most terrifying were the level ten intelligent zombies, which could possess the intelligence of a 15-year-old human.0
In her previous life, the fall of many large towns was due to intelligent zombies leading zombie armies to attack cities.0
Crystal cores were divided into ten levels from low to high, each with different colors and containing different amounts of energy.0
They were, respectively: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, multicolored, white, and colorless.0
Yun Xiaoxiao looked at the crystal core in her hand, feeling very happy.0
She hadn't expected to obtain a level two crystal core on her first try!0
She condensed some spirit spring water in her hand to wash it clean.0
As soon as she held it in her palm, Little Cutie slowly crawled over.0
She watched it curiously, not knowing what it was going to do.0
The next moment, she saw the little creature chomping away at her crystal core!0
