Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Seven: A4’s Delicacy p1

After closing her eyes in her sister’s arms, Lin Jiayao switched her consciousness again and came to A4’s body.

The extraction had not yet been completed. It had been delayed a bit just now, and the remaining extraction time was about two and a half hours.

However, what happened just now was somewhat meaningful, both for the sisters and for other survivors.

If the transaction with Survivor’s Light was successful, they could share information and develop together.

They could even use Chongyu City as a transit point to establish a triangular trade route of Donghai City → Chongyu City → Kun City. They only needed to teach Survivor’s Light the method of cultivating “airplanes”(giant insects) used by the Voodoo Cult, which was not a secret that couldn’t be told anyway.

If this route was really cleared successfully, the sisters would not have to worry about blood crystals and supplies, and it would benefit not only Survivor’s Light, but also all the survivors within the radiation range of this large triangular trade.

This could give some camps with increasingly scarce supplies a little breathing room.

As for how to open up this road, it was not a problem that Lin Jiayao needed to consider, but something that Survivor’s Light should consider.

“Huff…” Lin Jiayao slowly exhaled.

Taking advantage of the remaining two and a half hours, Lin Jiayao planned to spend two hours slaughtering all the high-level zombies in Qingzhou City and collecting some blood crystals.

After experiencing the system-hosted surgery, consuming blood crystals during the operation, and then giving Huayibai some blood crystals to replenish energy, Lin Jiayao only had six blood crystals left.

She had to work hard to collect more blood crystals.

Speaking of collecting blood crystals, Lin Jiayao had another good place in mind.

That was America, Wisconsin, where Goldie was located.

She had a map of all the Hive Zombie areas there, and the largest Hive Zombie had already been slaughtered by her and Huayibai. What she needed to do next was to take Huayibai and slaughter them all.

That was a rich place…

But she also needed to find time to ask Jiang Chun through the radio where there were more high-level zombies. She still had a vacant No. 6 slot. Now that she was settled, she could choose a good place to log in, just like scratching a lottery ticket.

Now, even if she scratched out an A-rank zombie and fell into a coma for a few days, she believed that her sister could take good care of her.

Gradually, the world highly summarized by threads in Lin Jiayao’s eyes was re-dyed with color, and Lin Jiayao exited the super-sensory state.

Lin Jiayao had marked all the places with C-rank zombies. There were no B-rank zombies in Qingzhou City, and there was no suspense in this hunt.

But what surprised Lin Jiayao a little was that behind the Qingzhou University Camp… there was actually a hidden C-rank zombie, and it was one she had never seen before.

But judging from its appearance, it seemed to be a water-dwelling type.

Anyway, she had to clear out all the C-rank zombies in this city. Might as well start with the zombie behind the Qingzhou University Camp.

After all, the leader of this camp, Wan Zi, sold her and her sister a car and a carload of supplies at a low price when she and her sister needed help, and did not take advantage of the situation.

Not to mention the free use of camp facilities she provided, the car alone was enough for Lin Jiayao to remember this favor.

Without that car, Lin Xiwan would not have been able to reach Kun City before Wu Hejun found them. If she couldn’t reach Kun City, there would be no subsequent events, and there would be no stable living environment now.

Lin Jiayao was used to exploiting zombies and a certain system, and didn’t like owing favors. She just took this opportunity to repay it.

She raised her right hand, slowly brushed her smooth blonde hair on her right shoulder behind her, and took a deep breath.

“Boom—”

She manipulated A4’s body to jump directly in place, shattering the asphalt on the ground, and directly leaped over the bridge, landing steadily on the ground.

【Extracting: 7.9】

When she reached the middle of the bridge, the extraction icon flashed for 0.1 seconds, and then disappeared because of Lin Jiayao’s rapid passage.

As long as she left the Extraction Point before the countdown ended, Lin Jiayao could still move freely. If she arrived at the Extraction Point again before the extraction time was up, she could still successfully extract.

“Boom—”

With another jump, Lin Jiayao’s figure turned into a blood-red stream of light, rapidly approaching the Qingzhou University Camp.

……

“Sister Wanzi, why didn’t you tell her clearly about the situation of our camp?”

“Yeah, we have to find a new foothold quickly. The water here is too toxic, and we can’t grow crops. We can’t stay here anymore…”

“You guys should say less. Sister Wanzi must have thought more than you…”

In the broadcasting room on the second floor of the administrative building, a group of low-level Awakened were surrounding Wan Zi, offering advice.

Just here, they witnessed the process of Wan Zi talking with the leader of another “big organization”.

The other party obviously had a friendship with the Qingzhou University Camp, and they had also taught all the unique skills of planting crops after the apocalypse that they knew. In their opinion, it was not unreasonable to make a request for help.

After all, they had also helped the other party.

“Sigh…” Hearing the discussions of others, Wan Zi slowly sighed.

Hearing the sigh, the others stopped whispering and looked in Wan Zi’s direction.

“Do you really think that an organization that can survive for so long in the apocalypse without hearing about the need for material exchange will lack the ability to be self-sufficient?”

Hearing Wan Zi’s question, the others also fell silent.

Indeed, they didn’t even know the name of the other party’s organization and where the camp was, and they hadn’t even heard any radio or camp mention it for so many years.

You know, even the Qingzhou University Camp, in the past, needed to regularly exchange vegetables with the nearby Fuzhou Cannery Camp for some meat cans to obtain meat.

If a camp or organization didn’t even need to exchange with other camps, they could only think of two.

One was the former Voodoo Cult, and the other was the former Survivor’s Light.

Both of these organizations could produce everything from canned food to vegetables and grains. The only difference was that the Voodoo Cult preferred to rob others rather than produce their own.

Now, one of these two organizations had its lair destroyed, and the other was severely damaged and had not yet recovered. The organization where the Lin sisters were located should be the largest organization in the south now.

Would such an organization lack food? What a joke. Didn’t you hear that Survivor’s Light had to beg them to buy seeds?

“Then what do they mean…”

If they didn’t lack anything, there must be a reason why they specifically contacted the Qingzhou University Camp.

“Is it… recruitment?” A young man said hesitantly, “Was the conversation just now an ‘interview’?”

“Hmm…” Wan Zi pondered for a while, then shook her head, “I don’t know… but I don’t rule it out.”

“Sigh… Instead of thinking about these unrealistic things, let’s think about how to solve the water source problem… Have you found the source of the poison?”

“No, they are still investigating the back mountain. Now they should have reached Tianjing Lake.”

Tianjing Lake was a low-lying area on the mountainside of the back mountain, a small lake formed by the convergence of rain and dew. The stream flowing from the mountain to the campus was drawn from this lake.

If the source of the poison could not be found, it was very likely to be in the lake.

Finding the source of the poison and transferring or destroying the poison was the only chance they had to save the water.

“Rumble—”

While they were discussing, a loud noise suddenly came from the back mountain, and the whole building felt a slight shaking.

“What’s going on?!”

“Something happened on the back mountain!”

“Quick! Quick to help!”

“Can you contact them?!”

“No! No response to the call!”

Through the rain curtain, Wan Zi could see fire and thick smoke rising from the back mountain… This was obviously the movement caused by the C-rank Awakened who led the team.

The situation she least wanted to encounter appeared… The Voodoo Cult, had left a back hand…

She had to rush over to support them.

The Awakened in the administrative building didn’t even have time to put on raincoats. They braved the heavy rain and drove quickly towards the back mountain.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, the vehicles could no longer continue. They climbed up the muddy ground, and Wan Zi was naturally the one rushing in front.

“Boom—”

Another violent explosion came, followed by a rolling mudslide… The mountain could not withstand such a violent explosion, and it slid down under the scouring of the heavy rain.

“Damn…”

Wan Zi, who had always been calm, couldn’t help but curse at the sight of the rolling mountain torrent.

“Hold on!”

Wan Zi only had time to shout this sentence in the heavy rain. She had already knelt on the ground, and her right hand with blood crystal veins flashing inserted into the ground.

“Crack—”

A five-meter-high semicircular giant wall made of sand and soil blocked in front of everyone.

The rolling mud and water mixed with boulders smashed into the sand and stone shield, breaking the outer shell of the sand and stone shield, revealing the soft pink colloid inside.

It was these glue-like pink liquids that bonded these sands and stones to form a shield, not directly controlling these inorganic substances.

This mudslide came quickly and stopped quickly. Until she felt that nothing was impacting the shield, Wan Zi slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

The sand and soil wall bonded by the pink adhesive blocked a large amount of mud and rocks, creating a survival zone for the people behind.

Thanks to this mudslide, the trees and gullies blocking the road in front were basically buried, leaving a muddy road.

“Quick!”

After confirming that the mudslide would not fall again, Wan Zi led the team to rush up again.

With the road paved by the mudslide, they quickly rushed to Tianjing Lake on the mountainside and saw a large area of pits and devastation beside the lake.

Several investigators led by C-ranks were lying in the rain, their lives and deaths unknown. And the huge creature standing in the middle of these bodies, preparing to enjoy, was a…

It was difficult for Wan Zi to describe its appearance, but according to experience, it was a shrimp.

It was a monster with a white translucent shell almost five meters long. The huge head, which occupied almost half of its body, was not protected by a shell, but exposed the black brain and pink, granular gonads inside.

A sharp spike with serrations on the top gleamed coldly under the moonlight. On the huge black double pincers, there were still some human limbs and blood, which were constantly being washed away by the rain.

And its segmented, slightly arched and curled body was wrapped in a large mass of dense green eggs.

These fist-sized eggs also had some red crystals flashing inside, like a large mass of huge eyes staring at people.

What the hell… was this monster!!!

Wan Zi was almost scared to retreat, but she still stood firm.

This was definitely not a native mutated zombie of Qingzhou City… It came from somewhere else!!!

It was very likely that it was brought by the Voodoo Cult, and then raised in the lake water as a low-level zombie to prevent poison when besieging the camp.

But before the Voodoo Cult left, the frantic Voodoo Cult also left a few blood crystals to help it evolve, in order to completely destroy the camp.

Even if the Voodoo Cult was gone… these people’s hearts were still vicious.

It wasn’t that the Voodoo Cult made these people vicious, but that in the apocalypse, these twisted people gathered together… and became more and more crazy in the atmosphere of the Voodoo Cult.

Now even if the Voodoo Cult was gone, their spirits might not return to normal—they were used to being crazy, used to killing, used to being wild.

“A bunch of self-defeating lunatics!” Wan Zi cursed, waved her right fist and shouted, “What are you waiting for! Shoot!!!”

“Dada-dada—”
“Bang—bang—bang—”

The combat personnel behind Wan Zi began to shoot with the guns in their hands.
