“Haha, another Level 2 crystal harvested!”
Jiang Tian pulled a black crystal from the head of a zombie lying on the ground, his face full of triumph.
Having achieved a Breakthrough to Level 3, dealing with Level 2 zombies was already a piece of cake for him, basically a matter of two or three swings of his club.
“Brother Hao, have Level 2 zombies increased today? We’ve only been out for half an hour and we’ve already encountered four!”
Mu Feng finished off the last Level 1 zombie minion, extracting a crystal as he spoke.
“That’s right, there are many more Level 2 zombies today. Zombies don’t need to Cultivate intentionally; they can just keep getting stronger. This gives them too much of an advantage compared to humans. If we don’t seize this current window of opportunity, it will become increasingly difficult to get stronger by killing zombies later on!”
Jiang Hao, with his Unspecified ability, felt it more deeply than them.
Not only had Level 2 zombies increased, but even Level 1 zombies had become much stronger.
The same zombie today had at least thirty to fifty kilograms more strength than yesterday.
If ordinary people didn't seize these few days to deal with zombies, it would basically become impossible.
“Brother Hao, Xiao Chen, that kid, also discovered that eating crystals can make one stronger!”
At this moment, Zheng Yi, having nothing to do, happened to take out his phone and glance at the school forum.
Xiao Chen, the former Wushu Society president, had posted a thread on the school forum, precisely stating that eating crystals could make one stronger.
After a full day of effort, they had gathered all the remaining members of the Wushu Society, totaling over thirty people, forming a zombie-killing squad.
Although they were all ordinary people, with their skills, dealing with Level 1 zombies was a bit strenuous, but they could still fight.
The post had just been made. They had ganged up on a lone Level 1 zombie, smashing its head, and just then discovered a gray crystal.
One person in their squad, out of curiosity, ate the crystal and immediately felt himself become much stronger.
This was how they discovered that eating crystals could make one stronger.
Jiang Hao took Zheng Yi’s phone and also saw the post.
“It seems there are still some simpletons who aren’t afraid of death and dare to eat anything,” Jiang Hao chuckled, returning the phone to Zheng Yi.
“Brother Hao, this guy is really putting on an act! He actually said he was the first in the whole school to discover that eating crystals can make one stronger, when we clearly knew first.”
Zheng Yi looked at the post, very displeased, feeling like their thunder had been stolen.
“It’s the apocalypse; don’t think about showing off. Taking care of yourself is enough. This is good too; now everyone knows. At least they won’t just be suppressed by zombies!”
Jiang Hao patted Zheng Yi’s shoulder, smiling indifferently.
“Then don’t we lose our advantage? I feel a bit urgent.”
“Haha, a little urgency is good, but our advantage is still great, and besides, we have Brother Hao! With these people, they can’t even catch up to us on horseback. It’s not even certain if they can reach Level 2 today, but we will definitely be at least Level 3 today.”
Jiang Tian also walked over at this time, tossing the Level 2 crystal in his hand to the returning Mu Feng, saying with a loud laugh.
He was already Level 3, so for now, he would help his two brothers Breakthrough to Level 3 first.
This method of distribution was set by Jiang Hao, trying not to let anyone hold the team back, and Level 3 Awakeners also had stronger self-preservation abilities than Level 2.
With this crystal, Mu Feng reached exactly four hundred and ten kilograms of strength, even ten kilograms higher than Jiang Tian, successfully achieving a Breakthrough to Level 3.
“Let’s continue. This time I sensed five Level 2 zombies, but there are dozens of Level 1 zombies surrounding them. Do you want to try?”
Seeing that Mu Feng had also successfully reached Level 3, Jiang Hao said with a smile.
“No problem. When the fight starts, Xiao Yi, stay by my side, I’ll protect you!”
Mu Feng, having just had a Breakthrough, said fearlessly, patting Zheng Yi’s shoulder at the same time.
“You’re really making your brother laugh. Don’t think a support can’t fight. Later, your brother will protect you!”
Zheng Yi slapped away Mu Feng’s hand, equally unafraid.
“That’s good. After clearing this wave, Xiao Yi will also be able to reach Level 3!”
As his voice fell, Jiang Hao led the three to Teaching Building Number Ten.
At this time, below the teaching building, there was a group of zombies, a full fifty or sixty of them.
Some unfortunate soul had fallen here, and these zombies were feeding.
“Unless it’s a life-or-death crisis, I won’t make a move. Are you ready?”
Jiang Hao and the three were still dozens of meters away from this wave of zombies, conveniently blocked by a flower bed, preventing the zombies from discovering them.
“Piece of cake.”
The three smiled indifferently.
They had already adapted to fighting zombies, and their fear of zombies had long since faded.
“That’s good. Remember not to scatter. Go!”
As soon as his voice fell, the three rushed out, carrying steel pipes.
When they were still twenty meters from the zombies, they were discovered by them and immediately roared, charging over.
“Scram!”
Jiang Tian sent a flying kick, knocking down a Level 2 zombie charging at the front. Then, before the zombie could get up, Mu Feng quickly followed up, smashing its head with a steel pipe.
At this point, the remaining zombies had all charged up. Jiang Tian and Mu Feng directly held the front, taking on all four remaining Level 2 zombies.
Zheng Yi was behind them, preventing the remaining Level 1 zombies from ambushing their backs.
Even though he hadn’t reached Level 3, he still had a solid three hundred-plus kilograms of strength. One swing of a steel pipe could repel four or five Level 1 zombies.
Jiang Tian once again repelled a Level 2 zombie, enduring the attacks of three other Level 1 zombies, and delivered a powerful blow towards the head of another Level 2 zombie.
“Bang!”
This zombie couldn’t withstand it; its head exploded like a watermelon, and its body fell heavily to the ground.
With one zombie dealt with, Jiang Tian’s pressure greatly reduced. He crippled three Level 1 zombies with one swing and attacked the Level 2 zombie that charged up again.
Mu Feng, next to him, had also killed a Level 2 zombie, but he had been scratched by a zombie. Being Level 3, his body’s defense had naturally also increased accordingly.
These Level 1 zombies could only cause superficial wounds to them and were not a big deal.
While they were fighting, on the other side, a battle was also taking place. A team of over thirty people was fighting more than ten zombies, still maintaining an advantage.
“Die!”
Xiao Chen seized the opportunity. While two of his brothers suppressed a Level 1 zombie, he swung his Tang Dao down fiercely.
Successfully separating the zombie’s head from its body.
After one zombie was gone, their advantage further increased, and they eventually killed all the remaining zombies in a few minutes.
Looking at the more than ten crystals in his hand, Xiao Chen’s hands trembled with excitement.
As long as he ate them, his strength would definitely receive a huge boost.
He then no longer hesitated and swallowed all the crystals at once.
Feeling the sudden surge of power within him, at this moment, Xiao Chen even felt invincible.
“Let’s go, continue clearing zombies! Our chance to become superior humans has arrived!”
But he didn't know that eating ten crystals was useless, and this single act wasted nearly ten crystals.
Back to Jiang Tian’s side, as the last Level 1 zombie fell, they also ended their battle.
The three began to skillfully dig for crystals.
However, with dozens of zombies, it still took some effort for the three of them to dig for crystals.
Although Level 1 crystals were useless now, Jiang Hao still had them dig them out and carry them.
They only had four people. To survive the apocalypse, their numbers were definitely not enough. If they found suitable teammates later, Jiang Hao still wanted to recruit more teammates.
While Jiang Tian and the two were digging for crystals, Xiao Chen happened to pass by with his people.
He immediately saw the scattered zombies lying on the ground and decisively led his people over.
His confidence, having just surged in strength, was a bit overly inflated.
“You three, hand over the crystals.”
Xiao Chen said to Jiang Tian and the two, who were still digging for crystals.
“Tch, who do we have here? You, surnamed Xiao, if you don’t want to die, then scram!”
Jiang Tian glanced at them, his face full of disdain.
“I remember your name is Jiang Tian, right? I told you to hand over the crystals, or don’t blame us for taking action!”
Xiao Chen pointed his Tang Dao, very arrogant.
“You’re not worthy.”
Jiang Tian remained disdainful, not even bothering to look him in the eye, still busy digging for crystals in his hand.
