Shen Muyu closed his eyes and carefully felt the process of using the device that had just been demonstrated. After becoming familiar with it, he released his mental energy.
After selecting a zombie whose body had been blasted apart by a shell but whose head was still moving around, Shen Muyu focused his mental energy on its brain.
Everything else became an illusion in Shen Muyu's eyes, but the crystal core in the zombie's brain became clearer and clearer. Shen Muyu followed the example he had just done and enveloped it with his mental energy.
She tried to remove the crystal core, but the hard skull prevented her from doing so.
Shen Muyu wasn't in a hurry. After changing her mind, she tried to blow it up in her head.
"It's difficult to burst it by squeezing, but what if we detonate it from the inside?" Shen Muyu initially tried to squeeze the crystal core by concentrating her mental energy, but failed. After having a new idea, she quickly tried to gather her mental energy into a thread and send it into the crystal core.
This step was much simpler than she had imagined. She easily inserted it, and with a simple thought, the crystal core naturally exploded.
Along with the crystal core, the zombie's head also exploded. The scattered bones startled Big White, who was working hard nearby, but seeing that there was nothing wrong, it happily went back to tapping its head.
"The consumption isn't too high, but it's a bit time-consuming." Shen Muyu frowned as she thought. In that time, she would have fired countless shots. This method is more suitable for high-level zombies, but it wastes some crystal cores.
However, if you encounter a zombie with the same manipulation ability as that one, this method would be much faster, and you wouldn't have to fight a long-distance raid.
"What if I attach my mental energy to the bullet? Would the penetrating power increase?" Thinking of this, Shen Muyu immediately returned to the control tower and gripped the rifle.
After dedicating a small wisp of his mental energy to envelop the bullet, Shen Muyu immediately pulled the trigger, and the bullet instantly shot towards another crippled level three zombie.
This time, the bullet easily penetrated the zombie's head, and even had a small explosive boost, causing the head to explode. However, Shen Muyu saw that the crystal core was undamaged and was directly ejected.
Shen Muyu then tried several more times, increasing or decreasing the coverage of his mental energy, resulting in different effects. The most severe one even detonated the crystal core, almost affecting Zhan Yi beside him.
Once there were no more living zombies, Shen Muyu stopped her experiment. Too much of a good thing can be bad, and she was already feeling somewhat disoriented.
Not long after Shen Muyu came down from the control tower, Da Bai and Zhan Yi returned to the car. After giving Xiao A some instructions, the car drove away. Although the car had a circulation system, it couldn't withstand the strong corpse energy. Shen Muyu was already finding it hard to stand.
Shen Muyu put the enhanced roulette wheel away for the time being, deciding to try it again tomorrow after she had a break. She felt that her brain capacity was a bit insufficient right now, and she felt lightheaded.
However, before leaving, she didn't forget to upgrade her reactive armor. She happened to have some extra inventory space today, so she didn't want to waste it.
After a quick bath, Shen Muyu carried Da Bai back to the bedroom of the cabin to rest.
Of course, before going to bed, she also gave herself and Big White a few milliliters of energy liquid so that they could digest it while they slept.
However, Shen Muyu also discovered while drinking it that she couldn't drink too much of this stuff, otherwise she would feel mentally overwhelmed. She tried to digest it for a long time in bed before she finally got rid of the feeling and fell asleep as soon as she turned over.
The next day, when Shen Muyu got up, Xiao A had already driven off. It wasn't that she woke up late, but rather that she had been instructed the night before to drive as soon as it was light and try to reach the destination as early as possible.
The reason for not driving at night is that zombies become more active at night, and their abilities are also greatly enhanced, just like the zombie horde last night.
If it's a low-level zombie, that's fine, but if you encounter a high-level one at night, with the right timing, location, and people, Shen Muyu might become food.
This morning, Shen Muyu didn't go for a run. Instead, he ran to the pile of resource boxes and started moving them. Isn't that a kind of exercise?
"Master, we're heading into the mountains again. Should we change direction?" Xiao A's voice came through the walkie-talkie as Shen Muyu was struggling to move the boxes.
"Stop for a minute, I'll go take a look." Shen Muyu threw the box in his hand into the machine, clapped his hands, and returned to the car.
Actually, we've been surrounded by hills all along the way, and there are quite a few villages built along the mountains, but so far there's no sign of a city or any living people, and we've never seen a map.
Xiao A can only go straight along the road. When it encounters a fork in the road, it goes northeast. At this time, the green dot representing the car on the screen has moved a little to the right along a straight line, but the vertical distance remains unchanged.
As soon as Shen Muyu came out, he saw the continuous mountains in front of him, and a tunnel appeared directly in front of him. If he continued to follow the road, he would inevitably have to go into the mountains again.
But if we don't go this way, who knows where we'll end up? And the mountains ahead stretch out over a huge area; who knows how long it will take to reach the edge.
"Let's follow this road into the mountains. The presence of a highway indicates that it was built safely, which should be better than taking a wild path." After thinking for a moment, Shen Muyu decided to go into the mountains. The area she was in now felt mostly mountainous, and the terrain was pretty much the same everywhere.
Shen Muyu didn't go back after that; instead, he started digesting the energy liquid in the driver's seat.
Yesterday, those thousands of zombies directly contributed hundreds of milliliters of energy liquid to her. Judging from the digestion time she and Da Bai take, it should last for two or three days. She just doesn't know when she can level up to level five.
The tunnels stretched out one after another, pitch black due to the power outage. The hallucinations from the first game reappeared, but Shen Muyu was no longer on the same level as before, and his mindset was much more relaxed.
"Master, there's a scenic area ahead, but something looks off," Little A warned.
Shen Muyu opened her eyes and was stunned by the scene before her.
The lush greenery and towering mountains complement each other perfectly, with a waterfall cascading down in the distance.
(Friends, there's something I forgot to mention about yellow gems: they can no longer be enhanced from the inventory, so they're basically unavailable. I already mentioned that earlier, but I'll just mention it again for those of you who have read this far ❤❤❤ Sorry everyone (•̩̩̩̩＿•̩̩̩̩) )
