The End of the World: I am a rent collector in a shelter

Chapter 25 Zombie Levels
The moment he appeared in the car, Xu Siming knew what Ji Wanwan meant.

There was a flash of fire in the clubhouse, and his body moved faster than his brain, lighting the engine, starting the car, and stepping on the accelerator, all in one go.

With the help of the shock wave, the car sped away, leaving a dashing tail afterimage for the zombies besieging the club.

Ji Wanwan used space supplies to heal herself while looking in the rearview mirror.

Through the rearview mirror, Ji Wanwan glanced at the gym.

Suddenly, her brows furrowed.

Noticing that her expression was strange, Xu Siming also glanced at the rearview mirror.

The view behind him was filled with smoke and dust, and he could not see anything.

"Schoolgirl, is there something wrong?"

Thinking of what she had just seen, her face became solemn: "That monkey zombie is not dead."

Xu Siming was shocked.

How come it didn’t die in such a big fire?
Is this a zombie?
This is evildoer!
He comforted Ji Wanwan: "Maybe you saw it wrongly."

Ji Wanwan withdrew her gaze from the rearview mirror.

She saw it clearly just now. Right where their car started, the monkey zombie was riding on the shoulders of a tall zombie, staring at them.

Even if the sky is full of smoke and dust, it cannot cover its enchanting red eyes.

She didn't want Xu Siming to worry, so she curled her lips: "Maybe..."

……

It was just past lunch time when we returned to the shelter.

There are still a lot of people in the cafeteria on the first floor.

Seeing the two men covered in blood and walking into the gate in a mess, everyone was dumbfounded.

Especially Qi Hao, Zhou Kai, Ji Xing and Xia Li.

After confirming that Ji Wanwan was not injured, Qi Hao felt relieved, but at the same time, he looked at Xu Siming with an unhappy look.

No wonder he didn’t see Wanwan all morning and didn’t reply to her message. It turned out that she went out with Xu Siming.

When did they go out?

What have you been doing?
Why don't you call them?

Qi Hao felt very upset and had a thousand questions to ask.

Seeing the two people come in together, Ji Xing at the front desk was stunned at first, but then his eyes gradually became ambiguous.

As expected of his sister, she plays really wildly!
She actually took a man on a date among a pile of zombies!
Xia Li also had a lot of questions in her mind, but when she saw that the two were wet and covered in blood, she was more worried.

She took off her coat and put it on Ji Wanwan: "You two should go back to your room and take a shower and change clothes. Although it is summer, it is easy to catch a cold if your body is wet for a long time."

Ji Wanwan patted Xia Li's hand soothingly: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

She had other things to do before going back to the shower.

Thinking of the ant zombie head in the space system, Ji Wanwan came to the utility room, the lounge of 001.

After closing the door, she took out the protective suit, mask and gloves from the system space and put them on. Then she took out the dissection equipment and began to decompose the ant zombie's head.

The head contour of an ant zombie is similar to that of a human, but it is harder and difficult to break with ordinary knives.

Ji Wanwan used a surgical drill to cut off a small piece of skull, carefully packed it up and placed it into the space system so that she could find an opportunity to study it later.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Wanwan reached into the skull and began to feel around.

After just a few moments, she felt a hard object the size of a ping-pong ball in the soft tissue.

The ant zombie was dead, and the medium in its brain that connected the skull and the hard object had lost its activity, so Ji Wanwan easily pulled out the hard object.

Without caring about the disgusting brain soft tissue in her hand, Ji Wanwan ran to the sink and rinsed the hard object in her hand.

Looking at the fluorescent ochre-colored crystal in the palm of her hand, Ji Wanwan's expression lit up with joy.

It is indeed a crystal core!
This little thing is indeed an evolved high-level zombie!
It was just that she had never seen such a high-level zombie in her previous life. Of course, it might also be because she spent most of her time hiding in dark corners and was ignorant of the situation.

The moment you get the crystal core.

Things in front of her stopped moving.

[One secondary crystal nucleus detected]

[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. The third-level shelter can resist the attacks of the second-level advanced zombies. The host can choose to increase two physical fitness points by 30 points, and can choose to increase one ability by 1 level.]

[Level 20 shelters have been issued. The shelters include 5 single rooms, 75 suites, and an operating room, with a maximum capacity of people]

[Reward two physical functions +30 points, please choose: Stamina, Endurance, Strength, Agility, Spirit, Charm]

Ji Wanwan chose strength and spirit.

In the previous battle, due to lack of strength, she couldn't even chop the ant zombie's head smoothly.

As for her spirit, she vaguely felt that she was unable to crush the monkey zombies because she lacked mental strength.

After confirming her choice, she clearly saw obvious muscle lines on her forearms, and the clear feeling in her mind became more obvious, and the fatigue in her body also subsided a lot.

[Reward: one ability is upgraded by 1 level, please choose: Space Control, Equivalent Treatment]

Ji Wanwan thought about it and decided to upgrade the space control.

Rather than treatment, she hoped more urgently that her combat effectiveness could be greatly improved.

[Level 3 space manipulation, can increase 50 points of spirit]

After confirming the selection, the system displays her attribute panel:
[Physical Strength: 95 Stamina: 5]

[Strength: 35 Agility: 5]

[Spirit: 115 Charm: 20]

[Space Control: Level 3, can control the space within 200 meters, current experience value 47/500]

[Equivalent Treatment: Level 2, consumes 90% of the equivalent materials to treat the opponent, current experience value 37/100]

异能升级，1级升2级，需要10点战斗值，2级升3级则需要100点战斗值，3级升4级需要500，4级升5级暂时未知。

I just got 47 combat points in Macro, which directly upgraded the equivalent treatment to level 2.

After confirming the superpowers, Ji Wanwan was not in a hurry to check the level 3 shelter.

Ji Wanwan: [System, level 2 crystal core means that crystal cores are also divided into levels? ]

System: [Yes, host. Depending on the evolution of the zombies, the level of the crystal core will also be different.]

Ji Wanwan quickly asked: [How are the levels of zombies differentiated? ]

In her previous life, she only knew that there were low-level zombies and high-level zombies, and she didn’t know that there was a strict hierarchy among zombies.

System: [Zombies are divided into ordinary zombies and evolved zombies. Zombies that have evolved crystal cores are evolved zombies. Evolved zombies are currently divided into 3 levels. The mobility and destructive power of level 1 evolved zombies are higher than ordinary zombies.

Level 2 evolved zombies have a single superpower based on level 1 zombies. Their mobility and destructive power will be higher, but they will also have corresponding weaknesses. For example, the ant corpse killed by the host in the morning has a weakness: it is afraid of water.

Level 3 evolved zombies are intelligent zombies. They retain human intelligence and can command other zombies, but they are more fragile than other zombies.

The level of the crystal core is the same as the level of the zombie. The ant zombie is a level 2 evolved zombie, so the corresponding crystal core is a level 2 crystal core. 】

Ji Wanwan couldn't help but think of the monkey zombie.

In the morning, she felt that there was something wrong with the zombie. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that it was most likely a level 3 intelligent zombie.

Suddenly, Ji Wanwan’s eyes widened.

She noticed a key word in the system's discourse.

[Currently? System, what does currently mean? Will there be more advanced zombies in the future?]

System: [The system cannot answer this question, the host needs to explore it on his own. ]
