"Mumu, take this and put it away." Yin Yang handed the Crystal Core to Xu Mumu. As for absorbing Crystal Cores, it’s better to absorb Zombie Crystal Cores; the plant Crystal Cores are more useful and can be used later when it’s crucial.
Xu Mumu nodded and quickly put away the Crystal Core.
The Snake Lord looked at Xu Mumu eagerly, "I want to eat it."
"Not this one, you can eat this." Xu Mumu threw two purified Crystal Cores to it and couldn’t be bothered to deal with it anymore.
The Snake Lord obediently ate the Crystal Cores and stopped obsessing over the plant Crystal Core. Even if it did, Xu Mumu would definitely not give it to it.
They had just walked a short distance when a mutated giant spider appeared in front of Xu Mumu and the others. The spider was pitch black, obviously highly venomous, and quite strong, with long legs that looked powerful.
"I want to eat this spider, you all stay back." Seeing the spider, the Snake Lord flicked out its tongue and stared intently at the giant spider.
Its size was enormous; every time Xu Mumu and the others gave it food, it never felt full. Eating this giant spider should keep it satisfied for another two days.
Xu Mumu and the others had no objections. If it wanted to eat, they wouldn’t stop it.
After transforming into its true form, the Big Black Snake acted swiftly, instantly wrapping around the giant spider. When the spider couldn’t struggle anymore, it was swallowed whole.
As for the venom of this giant spider, the Snake Lord was not afraid at all. There wasn’t anything in the world it had encountered that was more poisonous than it, especially at the start of the apocalypse. Its venom became even more potent.
These toxins, once inside its body, automatically gathered in its poison sac, making its venom even stronger.
Watching the belly of the Big Black Snake, everyone silently swallowed. The Big Black Snake could devour them whole without any problem; it was not to be trifled with.
The giant spider hadn’t even digested yet, and the Big Black Snake didn’t wind around Yin Chuchu’s wrist but followed behind their car, unhurried. The Big Black Snake was fast.
In front of everyone, the Big Black Snake once again earned the label of "not to be provoked."
There were quite a few mutated animals in the mountain, and the Big Black Snake had a real feast. By the time it left the mountain, its belly was significantly rounder, and no one knew when it would finish digesting.
When they emerged, the weather outside had become entirely cool, neither cold nor hot, very comfortable.
"It’s starting to cool down." It had been nearly three months since the apocalypse arrived, and winter was around the corner. Fortunately, they had prepared plenty of supplies for the cold in the space.
"We’re not far from Jin City now. If we drive, we should arrive by tomorrow," Yin Yang briefly checked the map and pointed in the forward direction.
"I hope the meteor is still safe over there." Xu Mumu smiled.
The car started again, with the Snake Lord following behind. By the time they entered the city of Jin City, it was already dark. At night, the zombies’ senses were more acute, and the sound of the car attracted a large group of zombies.
Indeed, Jin City was already a dead city, with only endless zombies remaining inside.
The little elf in Xu Mumu’s mind was extremely excited, "Mumu mumu, I can feel the presence of the meteor. Let’s get it tomorrow." The little elf was bursting with excitement.
"Alright, calm down. We’ll go tomorrow. We should find a place to rest first." Xu Mumu said helplessly.
The little elf settled down obediently, and Xu Mumu, together with Yin Yang, began to search for a place to stay the night.
The houses here were all empty, and as soon as they got out of the car, zombies surrounded them. These zombies were more agile, generally at level three or above.
Xu Mumu frowned slightly. Although the team’s members had all reached level three during this time, Yin Yang had even reached level four. His level was entirely attributed to his superpower from devouring countless zombie corpses.
And Xu Mumu’s superpower was still at level three.
The zombies near the meteor indeed had a more significant impact, with strengths far surpassing those in other areas.
In the few months since the apocalypse began, the team’s capabilities had seen a massive boost, forming a seamless tacit understanding.
Even though there were plenty of zombies, the group took them down calmly without any panic.
Moreover, with the Big Black Snake as a major weapon, one could only wonder how it managed to reach level seven right at the start of the apocalypse. As superpower advancement became increasingly difficult, the number of Crystal Cores required grew significantly.
Watching the Big Black Snake swipe countless zombies into the sky with just its tail was impressive.
And she witnessed the Big Black Snake’s superpower, spitting bolts of lightning. It was just crazy.
With just a few lightning strikes, these zombies turned to ash, leaving only the Crystal Cores, an incredibly efficient hunter.
The commotion from the Big Black Snake was not lost on Yin Yang and the others. They had never seen the Big Black Snake in full action before; they had only assumed it was physically strong and agile, with powerful venom. They didn’t expect it could also discharge electricity.
With the Big Black Snake unleashing its power, the cleanup of zombies sped up significantly. Although Xu Mumu and the others were nearby picking up leftovers, not much was left for them with the Big Black Snake’s presence.
The battle concluded within half an hour, leaving Xu Mumu dumbfounded.
Gathering a huge pile of Zombie Crystal Cores, Xu Mumu’s face was all smiles. There were many level three and four cores, quite a haul indeed.
After a simple purification of the Crystal Cores, Xu Mumu got less than a tenth, while the rest went to the Big Black Snake, which swallowed the large amount of cores without hesitation.
Xu Mumu picked out the Ice Element ones from what’s left and let them choose the cores suitable for their superpowers.
Tonight was a great harvest, with the surrounding zombies completely cleared out.
Finding a broad building nearby, Xu Mumu took out some ready-made food, too tired to cook anything.
After dinner, the group assigned the night watch duty. Two people per shift, with Xu Mumu and Yin Yang taking the first watch, sitting by the fire downstairs, feeling the slight chill in the air while absorbing the zombies’ Crystal Cores.
The energy in these Crystal Cores was abundant, far superior to that of level one and two cores.
The energy from the Crystal Cores constantly flowed into the Superpower Core, allowing Xu Mumu to feel her Superpower Core growing bit by bit, then compressing, growing and compressing again, a process that continued several times until it couldn’t compress anymore. Xu Mumu felt her perception of the world change; could this be the power of level four superpowers?
