"Is this why no one is coming out?" Shen Muyu wondered. It seemed that there was a quota for the number of people staying in the villa, probably because they were afraid that if they came out, someone else would take their spot.
Shen Muyu shook his head. There was not much food in the villa to begin with, and if they waited like this, they would probably starve to death by the time the zombies finally targeted them.
"Little A, how long was it when it got dark?" Shen Muyu asked, turning his gaze away.
"48 minutes," Little A replied crisply, having been keeping a close eye on the time.
"There's absolutely no pattern to it." Shen Muyu was a bit worried. The time it takes for it to get light and dark here is so random, ranging from a little over thirty minutes to more than an hour. It's impossible to predict.
She was just about to see what was next to the light when she was interrupted by the dawn.
"Master, shall we go look around somewhere else?" Little A asked when Shen Muyu stopped moving.
"No, we'll wait here." Shen Muyu was currently using his mental power to explore the current distance limit, which was about seven or eight kilometers.
What's strange is that a face-flower has appeared in front of the villa where there was no face-flower in the spiritual world.
Fortunately, the bracelet prevented any major problems, but the backpack slots were being used up too quickly, which made Shen Muyu feel a little heartbroken.
"Even at level five, I still can't resist the influence of this black energy." Shen Muyu withdrew his mental energy after testing the distance.
She had actually tried to wrap it up, but a little bit leaked out, and it was too late to wrap it up again.
This time, Shen Muyu didn't target the human-faced flower. Instead, she changed direction and continued, intending to wait here for the cave entrance to reappear.
"It's dark again." After waiting for another ten minutes or so, it got dark again, and the world returned to the state it had just been in after the battle, except that the zombies that had rushed over recklessly and the holes that had been dug out were gone.
Shen Muyu waited quietly for the zombies to appear, but they didn't appear for a long time.
"Huh?" Shen Muyu blinked in confusion, then released his spiritual energy.
Although there was no sign of zombies, she found a golden treasure chest under the collapsed villa.
"Little A, use the robotic arm to dig out the treasure chest." After having Little A drive the car to the front of the villa, Shen Muyu drew a rough map and said.
While Xiao A was digging, Shen Muyu continued to keep an eye on the surroundings.
The original inhabitants of the villa were still lying on the third floor. Although they had completed their zombification, they were pinned down by falling building debris and could only lie there.
The same applies to the other zombies, but if you count them carefully, you'll find that there are quite a few missing.
The golden treasure chest was dug out in no time, and Shen Muyu took it out of the mechanical arm's space and opened it directly.
There are only two skill books in the treasure chest. The first one, as the name suggests, allows you to do two things at the same time.
The second book is used to extract energy liquid from zombie crystal cores, but its utilization rate is only 30%, which is much lower than Shen Muyu's extraction machine.
Of course, this thing also has its advantages, namely that it has no durability and can be used anytime, anywhere, whereas an extraction machine will break down once its durability is used up.
However, Shen Muyu has a red backpack, and as long as something is put inside, the durability will automatically be restored to 100%.
"It looks like they're not coming out. Is it because they know I'm here?" After waiting for a long time, no zombies dug out of the hole, and Shen Muyu could only think to himself.
The darkness lasted only for about twenty minutes before it ended. Looking at the restored streets, Shen Muyu suddenly had an idea.
She captured the human-faced flower in her spiritual world and killed it without hesitation this time. Sure enough, a small branch began to escape.
Shen Muyu followed the same method and began tracking the little guy just like last time, but at a much slower pace.
The smaller branches are also moving much slower than before.
Just as Shen Muyu had thought, this thing was luring her away.
Even though Shen Muyu knew, she didn't stop. She just followed at a leisurely pace. She figured the zombies probably wouldn't show up, so she might as well give them a chance to peek out.
This time, it took a little longer for dawn to break, and Shen Muyu followed the little guy for about half an hour.
However, due to Shen Muyu's deliberate slowing down, he didn't actually run that far, and it was even shorter than the previous time.
As soon as it got dark, the small branch disappeared from its original spot, and the spiritual power was instantly severed by Shen Muyu.
"Let's go, Little A, let's go back, but don't drive too fast, it'll take about ten minutes." Shen Muyu needed to give the zombies some time to dig a hole.
As expected, when Shen Muyu returned, the zombies had already emerged from the cave. However, this time they seemed to be in a hurry, splitting into several groups and attacking several villas simultaneously.
Even the previous cat-teasing attack method has been changed. Shen Muyu saw that the houses in several villas had been breached, and the people inside had been turned into carriers of plant roots. At this point, only their brains were still intact.
