Zombie Apocalypse: Don't be afraid, I'm not a good person.

Open the door for Chen Jie and let him in.

As soon as he came in, Chen Jie began to speak kindly, "Miss Jiang is a kind person. She dug out five in total, but she only took one. She asked me to bring the rest to you to help you improve your strength, in case you encounter danger on your mission."

Shenhe looked at him with a half-smile, making Chen Jie uncomfortable, and he chuckled.

Chen Jie pushed the tray in front of him, "Try it, it can increase your superpowers."

[Second-Order Energy Core]

The energy core is completely transparent, about the size of a baseball, and has a texture like finely polished crystal. Its surface is smooth and lustrous, with a few delicate, naturally grown lines.

Inside was a mass of flowing light, indistinguishable as liquid or gas, but upon closer inspection, one could detect a subtle energy fluctuation.

As soon as Shenhe picked one up, the low-level supernatural abilities within his body began to stir, especially the lightning-based ones, which seemed eager to rush out and absorb it without waiting for Shenhe's command.

The energy of the spatial system, however, remains stagnant.

The lightning element is Shenhe's prized child, and it was just a little short of reaching the fourth tier. You're the one for it.

Seeing him pick one up, Chen Jie asked, "Do you know how to use it?"

Shenhe nodded, "I can sense the superpower within me."

Chen Jie straightened up and stood up. "Alright, then I won't waste any more words. For you superhumans, absorbing this should be as easy as eating. I'll be going now."

One should know when to advance and when to retreat. If someone knows how to use you, there's no need for him to stay and see what they're capable of.

After saying that, he quietly closed the door and left with light steps.

Looking at the closed door, Shenhe smiled slightly. He liked people who knew how to behave.

He activated the lightning-based supernatural power within his body, and that energy immediately surged joyfully through his meridians, flowing down his arm to his palm, connecting with the energy core.

Several tiny arcs of electricity shot up around the energy core, and strands of pure energy, guided by his supernatural power, slowly seeped into his meridians.

However, the absorption speed was too slow, which did not align with Shenhe's ideal of speed. He gently squeezed his palm, and the hard outer shell shattered into fragments, exposing the energy inside to the air. This time, the absorption speed increased!

The white energy was visibly absorbed into his meridians, entering in an instant without pause, causing him to frown slightly in discomfort. Fortunately, it was only for a moment.

The energy, surrounded by electric supernatural power, rushed towards the dantian and began to be automatically refined once inside.

His electric energy was increasing little by little, but a second-tier energy core was a bit too small for his third-tier electric ability. Fortunately, his electric ability was going to be upgraded anyway.

[Congratulations, host, on reaching level four in electric-type superpowers]

After the electric ability was upgraded, it immediately pushed aside the ice ability, which was also at the fourth level.

Extremely domineering.

He didn't use the remaining three energy cores; he had skill points, so using them would be a waste.

After storing it in his spatial storage, he teleported back to Qinglan International Airport in Hanzhou City as planned.

Lightning flashed through the horde of zombies, and in less than twenty minutes, the remaining three thousand-plus zombies in the airport were wiped out. He then ran out to check on the few Tier 1 mutated zombies he had killed earlier, hoping to find their energy cores.

But when they came out, all that was left was some bloodstains; the corpses were gone.

After walking around, I finally found some scraps of meat and bones in a corner, but that was it.

The skeleton bears the teeth marks of some large animals, with great force; some bones were even chewed to pieces.

I glanced at the system panel.

I'm participating in the siege event tomorrow, and I don't even know how many levels I'll gain. Just thinking about it makes me excited.

With everything settled there, Shenhe returned to the orphanage. Instead of eating with everyone, he had lunch in his bedroom with Li Yuetong and the Lin Zhien sisters, just to let the three of them get to know each other better.

After finishing his meal and briefly talking to them, Shenhe went straight back to his room on the aircraft carrier and lay down.

I couldn't sleep at all; the roar of the planes never stopped.

From a distance, the beach and the area near the sea were now filled with zombies, all attracted by the sound of the helicopter's rotors.

The zombies in the front row stood with their feet in the seawater, and were bitten by the mutated fish from time to time, exposing their bones. When they lost too much flesh, they could no longer stand and collapsed into the seawater, and were then eaten clean by a group of fish in the blink of an eye!

As soon as the zombies in front fall, the zombies behind them crowd forward, but they stop moving forward once the water reaches their calves.

Zombies are also afraid of water.

"I'm going to get a bunch of free experience points tomorrow!"

In the evening, Chen Jie knocked on the door again, bringing him five boxed meals.

Shenhe opened the lunchbox, and the aroma immediately filled the room.

The braised beef with potatoes was tender and flavorful, the boiled shrimp were fresh and bouncy, and there were also braised pork ribs, garlic oysters, and roasted lamb chops, accompanied by stir-fried seasonal vegetables and shredded pork with garlic sauce. In addition, there were two boxes of exquisite cakes and a bag full of fresh seasonal fruits. The food was excellent.

After he sat down, he saw Chen Jie standing to the side with his arms crossed, showing no intention of sitting down.

Aren't you going to eat with me?

Chen Jie shook his head. "I'll go back and eat later."

Shenhe glanced at the five crammed plates on the table. "Why did you take so much?"

Chen Jie raised an eyebrow. "Miss Jiang next door eats at least three meals a day, saying that people with superpowers expend a lot of energy and get hungry quickly. I figured you're a male superpowered person, so your appetite must be even bigger, and I prepared two extra portions for you."

Shenhe chuckled softly and nodded.

No wonder Jiang Yan looks chubby in some places; she really has a big appetite.

Shenhe woke up very early the next day, and the thought of today's operation made him unable to sleep soundly.

He pushed open the window and looked out. It was just dawn, but the deck was already brightly lit, a scene of bustling activity.

Fifteen armed helicopters and transport helicopters were lined up in two rows, and ground crew were busy with final inspections, refueling, and loading ammunition, their movements swift and orderly.

These planes have two missions today: first, to fly to all directions of the city and lure all the zombies in the city to the pre-designated cleanup areas; and second, to be on standby to support ground troops that are at a disadvantage in urban warfare.

As for Shenhe's mission, it's even simpler: follow the helicopter, watch them lure the corpses and drop missiles, gain experience, and finally join a small team to enter the city and wipe out the remaining enemies.

"Shall we change it?"

Jiang Yan's voice suddenly rang out beside her.

Shenhe turned his head and saw her standing by the window, reaching out to him just like yesterday, holding a bright white energy core in her fair palm.

Shenhe glanced at it speechlessly.

This person really has a sweet tooth; they'll trade such a rare treat for candy without hesitation.

Without any hesitation, he pretended to take a lollipop out of his pocket and place it in her palm, then casually took the crystal core.

This stuff is only moderately effective when he uses it himself, but it's perfect for boosting the strength of Zhao Xinduo and Lin Zhien.

Jiang Yan took the candy, happily opened the packaging, and put it to her lips. She licked the candy surface with the tip of her tongue, eating with a satisfied expression. Like a snake, she kept flicking her tongue. She was truly addicted to eating candy.

Shenhe glanced at it twice.

Look at him.

I feel overwhelmed just looking at it.
