Chapter 129 Zombie Weakness
Chapter 129 Zombie Weakness
Si Yuan turned around to avoid the zombie's attack and aimed the laser gun at the zombie's head.
"Wait, hit its cervical vertebrae." Mu Wanwan immediately spoke up to stop him. She didn't know where the zombie crystal core was in its head. The laser gun was too powerful. If she shot it in the head directly, it would most likely damage the crystal core inside.
Taotao just told her that the zombie's weakness is in its spine, especially the cervical vertebrae, which can cut off the brain's control signals to the body and make the zombie lose its ability to move.
Si Yuan quickly adjusted the muzzle of the gun and fired a shot at the zombie's cervical vertebrae.
A red beam of light instantly pierced through the zombie's cervical vertebrae. It let out a painful roar, then fell to the ground, its body still twitching.
The vitality of the fourth-level zombie was indeed tenacious. Si Yuan took aim again and fired a few more shots until the zombie completely stopped moving.
Mu Wanwan walked forward, carefully observed the zombie for a moment, put on medical gloves, took out a dagger from the space, and carefully cut open the zombie's head.
"It stinks." A disgusting stench emanated from the place where the head was cut. Mu Yuheng pinched his nose and tried hard to suppress the nausea.
Si Yuan and Ouyang Moyu could hardly bear the smell, but they didn't care about the discomfort at the moment. They kept an alert look around, fearing that other zombies nearby would be attracted by the noise.
Mu Wanwan quickly found a crystal core in the zombie's brain. This fourth-level crystal core was larger than the third-level crystal core and had a faint blue luster. She took out a bottle of spiritual spring water and soaked the fourth-level crystal core in it.
"Wanwan, were the crystal cores we swallowed before taken out from the brain of this disgusting thing?" Mu Yuheng felt a little nauseous.
I didn't expect this zombie to look so disgusting, but the things in its brain are quite useful.
Mu Wanwan nodded. She had no idea that zombies smelled so bad. If she had known, she might...
No, she would still choose to swallow it. Awakening superpowers and increasing strength is an opportunity that many ordinary people dream of.
Si Yuan secretly sighed that such an ugly thing could have such a beautiful thing in its brain.
Even though everyone despises it, no one can resist the temptation of superpowers.
After walking around and finding no trace of any living creatures, the few of them decided to return to the supermarket.
Come to think of it, in the end times, except for those humans with powerful superpowers, who would dare to walk alone in such an environment?
I guess those ordinary survivors are also hiding in some safe base.
"Host, open the system and you can see the survivors!" Taotao reminded.
Mu Wanwan almost forgot about this. After the apocalypse world was opened, she hadn't paid much attention to it except for the last time the trading machine was attacked.
The food inside is replenished on time every day as set by the system background.
Mu Wanwan switched the system back to the apocalypse world, and a real-time updated map was displayed.
Si Yuan and Mu Yuheng were no longer surprised, and the others gathered around curiously.
I don't understand how this thing that looks like a map appeared, with red, green and yellow moving marks on it.
Mu Wanwan observed carefully and found that her supermarket was in Jing City where the trading machines had been placed before. Strangely, there were not many survivors around the trading machines that had been placed in the two places before.
She quickly turned on the surveillance footage, and the scene around the trading machine was clearly visible. In the picture, a group of big men were guarding the trading machine with weapons.
Several of the big men were holding a few skinny humans with pale faces. Each of them had exchanged some supplies at the trading machine. Once they left the protective shield of the trading machine, the big men snatched away the food they had exchanged.
"Taotao, what's going on?" Mu Wanwan said angrily. She didn't expect that her warning would fall on deaf ears to these people.
"Host, the trading system was purchased from Interstellar, and I cannot monitor the range outside the protective shield." Taotao explained.
Mu Wanwan frowned, a cold light flashed in her eyes. It seemed that the so-called Hope Base not only failed to rescue the survivors, but also occupied another machine?
"Wanwan, there are several green marks approaching us." Si Yuan pointed to the approaching green marks.
........................
After Lin Qiyang and his team escaped from Hope Base, they had to hide all the way to avoid those cruel people.
He could never have imagined that a place claiming to be a base for rescuing humanity would be like this. Those people were not worthy of being called human beings. They were just demons in human skin.
It turns out that since the trading machine was discovered by the top management of Hope Base, they began to abuse their power in order to seize the supplies inside. They recruited a large number of survivors into the base in the name of providing protection for the survivors.
At first, those people didn't show anything, until one day he discovered that the top leaders had secretly sent people to rob the survivors of their supplies, and even threatened their families to exchange them for supplies.
Lin Qiyang argued with them and wanted to tell the owner of the trading machine what they had done.
The senior executives were dismissive. They knew that this trading machine was lethal, but any machine would have bugs.
They control the entire families of these survivors. If anyone is disobedient and unwilling to help them exchange, they will be driven out of the base and left to fend for themselves.
Although these survivors can't get a lot of food, they can still get some food if they stay in the base. If they leave the base, they will have nothing. Not only will they have to endure hunger, but they will also have to face the threat of zombies.
So they can only swallow their anger and endure the things that Hope Base does.
Lin Qiyang is considered a powerful psychic in the Hope Base. The higher-ups are reluctant to kill him easily, so they can only lock him up and force him to surrender.
It was Xiao Li and other team members who rescued him.
"Brother Yang, what should we do now?" Xu Ruyi really couldn't run anymore and could only sit on the ground and gasp for breath.
Lin Qiyang looked around, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes: "As long as we find an opportunity to get close to the trading machine, we can find a way to contact the boss."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhang in the team suddenly stopped and said, "Brother Yang, look ahead."
Everyone looked up and saw a shop sign not far away with the words 'Wanwan Grocery Store' lit up on it.
This shop seemed somewhat out of place with the dilapidated buildings around it. When a few people walked closer and looked through the glass window, they saw a wide variety of goods inside, with all kinds of supplies available.
In this apocalyptic world, even electricity has become a luxury. How could there still be people who have so many supplies and open a store here?
After hiding for a few days, there was little food left in Xu Ruyi's space. They didn't care about anything else and rushed into the "Wanwan Grocery Store".
The first time she saw Lin Qiyang, Mu Wanwan recognized that this was the person who had asked her to put the trading machine into use.
