When Xu Mumu got up the next day, the small courtyard had quieted down a lot, with only Yin Chuchu and Yin Wanqiu left inside the house.
Xu Mumu rubbed her waist; the superpower was indeed useful. After being tormented for so long, she was completely fine now.
"Sister-in-law, you’re up. I’ll go get breakfast for you," Yin Chuchu said diligently, recalling how her brother had carefully instructed her before leaving in the morning. She had never seen him be so nagging.
"Where are the others? Did they go out?" Xu Mumu asked.
"Yes, my brother and second brother went to check out the police station, while Yin Ting and the others went to look for supplies for the cold," Yin Chuchu briefly explained Yin Yang’s arrangements from the morning.
Xu Mumu nodded, having some understanding now.
After a simple breakfast, Yin Wanqiu and the others were tidying up the small courtyard.
"Sister-in-law, when can we go out for a walk? Staying in this courtyard is so boring," Yin Chuchu said, lying bored on the table. Staying inside was not as good as going out to kill zombies.
"Chuchu, look at your phone, there’s a guide to killing zombies on the forum," Yin Wanqiu said excitedly, holding her phone.
"Let me see," Yin Chuchu’s attention was immediately captured by Yin Wanqiu’s words.
"Wow, it’s the official forum, and this guy looks really handsome killing zombies," Yin Chuchu’s eyes sparkled as she watched a soldier in the video explaining while killing zombies. Her eyes were practically glued to him.
Xu Mumu’s lips twitched; Yin Chuchu was entirely here to see handsome guys, right?
But indeed, after the network was restored, things became much more convenient.
Watching the person in the video guide how to efficiently and quickly kill zombies, Xu Mumu agreed with his methods, although they were only suitable for low-level zombies. When encountering high-level zombies, running for your life was the only option.
However, having someone to guide them was already quite good, and the official map even marked the strength of zombies in different areas, and you could directly accept tasks online, which was very convenient.
"The development of the Imperial City is indeed becoming more complete," Yin Wanqiu said with a smile. If it weren’t for following Xu Mumu and the others to find meteorites, she thought staying in the Imperial City was also a good choice.
"These people are so bored that they even made a ranking of beautiful superpower users. And Li Xiya, at just level three, is being praised as the goddess of the entire Imperial City. Really thick-skinned," Yin Chuchu said disdainfully, scrolling through the Imperial City’s superpower user ranking on her phone.
Xu Mumu also took a glance, feeling it was hard to express. Indeed, seeing the official news, the Imperial City already had several level four superpower users, which meant generally speaking, level three was quite advanced in the city. There weren’t many at level three; they had just recently increased in number.
The main contribution was Xu Mumu’s dissemination of the Purification Technique, which significantly raised the levels of the city’s superpower users and encouraged more people to take on tasks to kill zombies.
"It really is quite boring. Chuchu, do you think if we went back, we could make it to the top of the list?" Yin Wanqiu said with a cheerful smile.
"For sure, the three of us would absolutely dominate the list," Yin Chuchu said proudly, raising her head.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense," Xu Mumu said with a smile, browsing her phone for useful information.
The official task system released many tasks, mostly suitable for low-level superpower users and ordinary people, while tasks with higher risk factors were less common.
Xu Mumu’s eyes fell on one task, which was to find meteorite fragments. They calculated rewards based on size, with a palm-sized meteorite fetching ten level-four Crystal Cores.
This task had no time limit, so many superpower user teams accepted it.
"Sister-in-law, they are also looking for meteorites. What do they use them for?" Yin Chuchu asked curiously, suspecting the objects weren’t ordinary.
"Besides carrying the zombie virus, meteorites contain a mysterious energy that superpower users can absorb," Xu Mumu explained to Yin Chuchu. She had collected many fragments in her space, instinctively feeling they were absorbable, but the power was too immense for her to attempt lightly.
"Mysterious energy, what is that?" Yin Chuchu was even more intrigued, remembering Xu Mumu’s Jade Pendant required meteorites.
"Not sure," Xu Mumu shook her head.
As Xu Mumu and the others watched the online information, time passed quickly.
Yin Ting and the others had returned by then, driving two large trucks filled with supplies, mostly cold-weather gear.
"Sister-in-law, we’re back. Look what we brought back," Yin Ting said excitedly. The external supplies had mostly been scavenged by those nearby, so finding so much was quite an accomplishment.
"Wow, all thick clothes and blankets. Did you clear out the clothing factory?" There was a clothing factory nearby.
"We only took the thick clothing; the thinner ones were taken by others," Yin Ting said, feeling a bit frustrated.
"No worries, this is already great. With so many clothes, we won’t feel the cold," Xu Mumu said with a smile.
Yin Yang and the others didn’t return by noon, so Xu Mumu simply prepared lunch, and a group of them ate together.
Worried about Yin Yang’s group, Xu Mumu decided to take some people to find them, leaving the courtyard in Yin Chuchu and Yin Wanqiu’s care.
When Xu Mumu and Yin Ting arrived at the police station, there had just been a battle. Xu Mumu saw Yin Yang binding a group of people, holding a handgun.
"Mumu, why are you here?" Yin Yang quickly came over when he saw them.
"I was worried since you hadn’t returned. What happened here?" Xu Mumu asked softly, feeling relieved seeing everyone was okay.
"These bastards ambushed us, covering Yin Meng with blood to attract a massive horde of zombies," Yin Lin complained first, wishing to feed these bastards to the zombies.
"So what do you plan to do with them?" Xu Mumu felt a wave of anger rising.
"Let’s throw them in the river to feed the zombie fish," Yin Yang said quietly. If it weren’t for these people, they could have returned much earlier instead of wasting time here.
"Sounds good," Xu Mumu nodded, glancing at the captured people. They looked fierce, so Xu Mumu asked about their identity.
It turned out these were prisoners who had escaped from prison. After breaking out, they occupied the police station, seized the weapons, and killed most of the survivors there, or pushed them out to distract the zombies.
