"Uncle, I have something to say." Xu Mumu stepped forward.
The members of the Yin Family all looked toward Xu Mumu. Yin Peng was quite gentle with her, "What is it?"
Regarding Xu Mumu’s situation, when Yin Yang went to find her, he had already had someone thoroughly investigate the situation of the Xu Family.
Previously, Xu Mumu and Yin Yang had no contact at all. He didn’t understand how they suddenly got together, but after understanding the Xu Family’s circumstances, coupled with his son’s assurance, he had a pretty good impression of Xu Mumu.
"After killing zombies, there will be a Crystal Core in the brain. I can purify the violent energy in the Crystal Cores." Xu Mumu revealed this point first.
"Crystal Core? How do you know about these?" Yin Peng looked at Xu Mumu, always feeling that this young girl was particularly knowledgeable about matters of the apocalypse and had also reminded his son to prepare in advance. He believed in Xu Mumu’s words.
"Before the apocalypse, I had a dream. In the dream, the energy in the Crystal Core was very violent. If not handled properly, it can easily affect a person’s mind. If this energy accumulates too much, it might even turn into a zombie." Xu Mumu said seriously.
"How do you plan to purify the Crystal Cores?" Yin Peng asked Xu Mumu.
"Uncle can consider it as my kind of superpower." Xu Mumu was unwilling to mention the little elf. Such a treasure, capable of traversing time and space; speaking of it might drive people insane. The matter of the Reincarnation Jade must not be told to anyone else.
"Do you plan to tell others about this?" Yin Peng stopped eating and looked at Xu Mumu.
"For now, I am not planning to tell others. It’s not too late to speak of it when zombie Crystal Cores are widely used. As for purifying the Crystal Cores, the Yin Family takes twenty percent, others take thirty percent." Xu Mumu said seriously. This was agreed upon with the little elf; originally, the little elf insisted on fifty percent.
But that was too much; of course, Xu Mumu wasn’t willing to agree. After threatening the little elf about not helping find meteorites, the little elf finally compromised.
"Alright." Yin Peng glanced at his son and then nodded.
Once Crystal Cores are obtained, sending them to the academy for inspection will reveal if there’s any violent energy inside. If it’s really as Xu Mumu said, it’s indeed not good news.
Early the next morning, Xu Mumu was called up by Yin Chuchu. Yin Chuchu was even more excited than Xu Mumu himself.
"Sister-in-law, let’s go, hurry up and eat, after eating, we’ll go out to kill zombies." Yin Chuchu grabbed Xu Mumu’s hand and led her downstairs, where breakfast was already being prepared.
"Slow down, wait for your brother." Xu Mumu said helplessly, thinking what’s so great about killing zombies, they’re so smelly.
However, it’s been decades since she’s killed zombies, and her skills must have rusted; it’s indeed time to practice thoroughly.
During these days of practice at the Yin Family, although she was exercising, such practice was completely different from the improvement brought about by life-and-death combat with zombies.
Yin Yang soon came out too. Seeing his little wife completely taken over by his sister, he suddenly felt exasperated. What’s the use of this sister coming along??
"Chuchu, don’t interrupt your sister-in-law’s meal." Yin Yang was quite distressed by his sister’s enthusiasm, casting a pitiful glance at his little wife, wishing he could sit beside her too.
"I’m not interrupting sister-in-law’s meal, I’m making plans for us to go out and kill zombies, discussing with sister-in-law." Yin Chuchu said confidently, her brother was always occupying sister-in-law, he’s really bad.
"Then what plan have you made?" Yin Yang rolled his eyes.
"We are planning to go to the First Hospital. I’ve heard zombies are the most numerous there." Yin Chuchu said excitedly, going to the hospital means getting more medicines; other hospitals have been taken over by the state. The zombies in this hospital are too many, not yet breached. This First Hospital is also the closest to the Yin Family.
Yin Chuchu was now especially excited, eager to test her powers outside, seemingly seeing herself slaughtering left and right.
"We haven’t prepared many medicines, indeed we should visit a hospital." Xu Mumu said warmly; she liked Yin Chuchu quite a bit.
"Alright then, let’s go to the hospital. Remember to call Lin and the others, they should come out to practice too." Naturally, Yin Yang listened to his little wife’s words, previously busy collecting food and weapons, medicines, and gasoline weren’t collected much indeed.
The people Yin Yang mentioned were already determined by Yin Peng, they were a younger generation of the Yin Family. Among them were both those awakened to superpowers and some ordinary people. Now that zombies were relatively low in strength, the Yin Family wouldn’t simply feed them.
After breakfast, Xu Mumu and Yin Yang picked up their knives and walked outside, and the other members of the Yin Family followed behind; zombies were everywhere outside.
"Stay close, don’t fall behind, kill zombies directly, and remember to check for Crystal Cores." Yin Yang’s voice was cold as he directly instructed those beside him.
Now, having personally witnessed the world after the apocalypse, it’s in total disarray, with a strong putrid stench pervading the air, coming from the zombies, along with the current hot weather, zombies rot faster, thus the smell is more unbearable.
"Still as nauseating as ever." Xu Mumu retched twice, while Yin Chuchu beside her instinctively vomited, her expression was very poor.
Yin Yang wasn’t doing well either, his face was livid. The smell was really unpleasant, even with masks blocking it, it didn’t help much.
"Chuchu, drink some water." Xu Mumu handed a bottle of water to Yin Chuchu.
"Thank you, thank you sister-in-law." Yin Chuchu hurriedly accepted the water; she thought she could wreak havoc once she came out, but ended up being so battered by the terrible smell.
Xu Mumu’s gaze fell on the other members of the Yin Family. With many Yin Family members coming out, they made quite a racket, directly attracting the surrounding zombies.
These were the lowest-level zombies, sensitive to the scent of living people and various noises; any sound could attract zombies over.
Xu Mumu stood by Yin Yang holding a knife, "I’ll give it a try, and you all cooperate, don’t get hurt by the zombies."
"Be careful." Yin Yang nodded.
Xu Mumu’s move was swift, slashing at the nearest zombie, causing a round head to roll far away.
Xu Mumu chopped off several more heads while Yin Yang and a few others weren’t slow either. They finished off over twenty zombies nearby.
Xu Mumu slashed a zombie’s head in half, the tip of her knife rummaged through the brain matter but didn’t find a Crystal Core.
The slightly relieved Yin Chuchu, upon seeing Xu Mumu’s actions and the even thicker stench in the air, vomited again, her face turning paler.
