Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

"Really?"

"real!"

Kato Megumi nodded.

Zombie World: Chapter 496 Chapter Energy Crystal

She was not one to deceive a child. Kato Hui sensed that the energy crystal in her hand did not have much energy. It might be because the zombies were not strong to begin with. What she got in her hand was the lowest level energy crystal, so the power inside was only one percent of her magic crystal.

Such a small amount of energy is not even enough for her to cast a big magic, so to her, these energy crystals are not so rare, and she can get a lot of them with just a few moves.

But judging from the little girl's expression, this energy crystal must be very precious to her, so Kato Megumi said that.

"Beautiful sister is such a good person!"

Seeing that Kato Megumi was serious, the little girl thanked him happily, and then hurriedly began to dig up the covered energy crystals on the ground.

The girl rolled up her sleeves and dug very hard. After a while, she dug out more than 30 energy crystals. They were colorful and looked like artificial diamonds, flashing brightly. It was hard to believe that these things were produced from a human brain. No, it should be said that they were produced from a corpse.

"Beautiful sister, there are thirty-four energy crystals in total! That's a lot!"

The little girl happily held the energy crystal and wanted to hand it to Kato Megumi, but she soon found something wrong. Her hands were black and looked dirty, which made the little girl embarrassed. She couldn't wipe them clean with clothes. Whether there was water here or not, it seemed something was wrong.

It is obviously not a good idea to let the beautiful sister hold these dirty energy crystals.

"Come on, don't move."

Kato Megumi naturally saw the little girl's embarrassment. She whispered an instruction, chanted silently, and used the energy crystal in her hand to summon a small ball of pure water.

"As expected, it can be used..."

Just like the power of dragon veins, if you properly regulate the balance of power and control the input and output of power, almost all powers can be used to cast magic. Compared to the power of dragon veins, the power in this energy crystal is more stable, purer than the power in the air, and easier to use.

Perhaps, it would be nice to use these energy crystals instead of magic crystals...

While thinking in her mind, Kato Megumi did not forget to control the condensed water ball, so that it wrapped around the little girl's dark hands holding the energy crystal, and washed them with a gurgling sound.

With the little girl's timid and curious eyes, the crystal clear water ball quickly turned into a black mass, just like ink.

Seeing this, Kato Megumi threw the dirty water ball aside, causing it to lose control, fall to the ground and merge into the soil. Then she condensed a larger water ball and controlled it to wrap around the little girl's hair and cheeks.

"Don't move, let me help you clean it."

The little girl is cuter when she is clean. It is convenient and quick to use magic to control the water ball to wash the body. There is no need to wipe it. So in a short while, the little girl's hair becomes light and her dirty skin, cheeks and clothes become clean and tidy.

It's just like washing with soap, clean, but without the soap scent. In terms of convenience, I have to say magic is very good.

Throwing the dirty water aside, Kato Megumi nodded with satisfaction, stroked the energy crystals with her palm, and put them into the space, leaving four for the little girl.

"These four are yours. Next, can you ask Yingying to take her to the base?"

"Ah, okay, okay!"

Hearing what Kato Megumi said, the little girl nodded blankly, and then put the energy crystal in her hand into her pocket without any hesitation.

As expected, people with special abilities are very generous and can give a lot of crystals easily.

The little girl didn't think of being humble about this. First, she needed these crystals anyway. Second, she knew that for the beautiful sister in front of her, these crystals were easy to get and were not very precious.

After all, the beautiful sister is such a powerful person, more powerful than those big shots in the base.

Zombie World: Chapter 497: Take a day off, about the update

It's finally the new month, and as usual I'll take a day off on the 1st.

I plan to write well this month, instead of being sporadic like last month. I hope I can stick to writing at least four times a day. Once I stop writing, I will be used to writing less, and it will be very difficult to recover. It is really a headache.

This zombie world won’t be too long. After it’s finished, maybe the next one will be the interstellar world?

What suggestions can you guys give?

Zombie World: Chapter 498 Chapter Heading to the Shelter

"Pretty sister, please wait a moment."

The little girl said something hurriedly, then ran to a corner.

Kato Megumi just looked at the little girl, and she went into the shadow in the corner, and then after some tinkering, she took out a plastic basin and a worn-out plastic flower pot.

Da da da……

The little girl ran back happily.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. I will take you to the shelter now."

Kato Hui took a look and saw that the plastic basin was filled with some dirty snacks and some barely edible food. It seemed that this was the result of the other party's work for the day.

As if she sensed the scrutiny of Kato Megumi from behind her, the little girl took the initiative to explain.

"This is the food that people found today. Today's harvest is pretty good."

"good?"

Kato Megumi took a look at the things inside. These were not even enough for a normal person to have two meals. Could this be considered a good harvest?

"Yes!"

The little girl nodded vigorously.

"Usually, we get nothing because a lot of food has been taken away by others first."

If she hadn't been lucky enough to find one or two energy crystals, she would have starved to death. Of course, this doesn't mean that the little girl has the ability to kill zombies. In fact, there are many ways to get energy crystals.

On dead plants, on corpses that the psychics were too lazy to dig up, or in some small, dark corner.

Maybe the girl was really lucky. Apart from the few zombies she killed occasionally, she had found energy crystals in dry dead trees on the roadside, and had also obtained energy crystals from corpses that were crushed in half in the ruins. They were scattered here and there. Not counting the energy crystals given by Kato Megumi, the girl had obtained dozens of crystals here and there. You have to know that these crystals can be exchanged for ten months of food at the base, which is a great fortune for ordinary people.

However, even so, the little girl still went hungry every day. Logically, with so many crystals, the little girl should not be as skinny, pale, and hungry as she is now. The reason for this is that a lot of the little girl's energy crystals have been used up.

Because she discovered that energy crystals can be used not only by people with special abilities, but also by herself and her sister. Since she discovered that her sister's health would be much better after using the energy crystals, the little girl would secretly give some of the energy crystals she got to her sister. Of course, she would also use a few herself depending on the situation. It was also because of this that her strength became so great that she was able to kill the zombies unexpectedly.

It was also because of this that, although she was hungry every day, the girl's body was still in very good condition. Maybe those energy crystals could be considered food. Every time she ate some, the girl could go without food for many days. In fact, very few ordinary people could absorb energy crystals. The girl was not aware of this. She thought that everyone could absorb energy crystals, but no one was as lucky as her to get energy crystals.

Kato Megumi was not clear about the girl's condition, but she did not judge people by their appearance. She thought the girl was extremely weak just because she was thin and had yellow skin. In fact, whether it was the vitality she felt or the abundant vitality shown by the other party, she could see that the girl's "vitality" was different from her appearance.

Of course, what surprised her most was that the little girl had some special life magnetic field, which was completely different from the human magnetic field she usually felt. It was a more wonderful and complex magnetic field. This made Kato Hui look at it a few more times. She didn't know whether all humans in this world were like this, or the other party was an exception.

"What's wrong, pretty sister?"

The little girl asked, feeling the gaze behind her.

"We'll soon reach the shelter. We'll pass through this ruin and that field and we'll reach the shelter. Don't worry, sister. It's not far."

The little girl seemed to think that the golden thigh sister behind her was a little anxious, so she explained,

In response, Kato Megumi just nodded and responded vaguely.

"That's it..."

Then he didn't say anything, but followed the girl's lead and walked towards the shelter.

Perhaps because there were often people coming out of the shelter to clear out zombies, the two of them didn't encounter any zombies along the way, which made the little girl breathe a sigh of relief.

Even though she knew that the sister behind her was a very powerful person and she didn't need to be afraid of zombies, her long-standing fear and vigilance had been deeply rooted in her bones and habits, and could not be easily changed.

You know, even though the shelter was often cleaned up, she still occasionally saw scattered zombies wandering around. Before, once the girl saw those zombies, she would run away immediately. Now she was lucky that there were no zombies.

But even so, the little girl continued to jog at a very fast speed, and Kato Megumi followed easily behind her. Thanks to no other accidents, the two of them soon arrived near the shelter, and Kato Megumi also saw the special wall in front that was raised and thickened, as well as a circle of wire around it.

"Is this the shelter?"

"Yeah, pretty sister, we're here."

Following the little girl forward, Kato Hui also clearly saw the specific fortifications outside the shelter. The innermost was a wall, and further out was a deep pit, and further out were rows of wire mesh.

The original one-meter-high wall was specially raised by two or three meters with cement. The special dividing line between the old wall and the new wall was clearly visible. Kato Hui thought that it should be because not all the people involved in the construction of the wall were professionals, so the wall looked so weird. After all, you can see from the outside that there are a lot of steel bars exposed in a small section outside the wall, and the color and texture of the new wall and the old wall are different.

As for the area a few meters outside the wall, there are deep pits two meters deep and two meters high. Underground are densely packed with sharp weapons, such as sharpened bamboos, steel bars inserted in the ground, and some ceramic tiles. An inexplicable smell wafts out of the tunnel. Kato Megumi's excellent vision can even see the broken bodies in the pits, as well as the organs hanging separately on the sharp weapons.

It is conceivable that as time goes by, there will be more and more bodies in these tunnels. Kato Hui looked at the people queuing at the entrance of the shelter. Everyone had a numb look on their faces. She frowned. Is there no one to clean up the bodies in these pits? Even if they are not afraid of smoking, are they not afraid of the epidemic?

As for the barbed wire a few meters outside the tunnel, it is now full of holes. At first she thought it was an electric fence or something, but when she got closer, she saw that it was just an ordinary barbed wire, and it was so tattered that there were many holes caused by collisions.

Zombie World: Chapter 499 Chapter Current Situation

It can be said that this iron net is broken. I don’t know whether it is due to insufficient materials or because people don’t take it seriously, but the iron net has not been replenished or repaired. Instead, it stands in front of us in tatters.

Kato Megumi guessed that the manager might not have taken it seriously!

"Eh? Are you asking about this barbed wire fence? It was like this a month ago. It seems that because they felt it was too laborious, the fence has long been shelved."

"That's true..."

Looking at the trench filled with rotting corpses, Kato Megumi could roughly guess what the manager's mentality was.

However, she just let the thought flash through her mind and did not think about it too much. Instead, she followed the skilled girl to the entrance of the shelter and lined up.

Although it is the end of the world, ordinary people have to work hard to support themselves if they want to survive. So even at the entrance of the shelter, there are dozens of people.

Although their faces were numb, they were exhausted, and their bodies were dirty, dusty and dishevelled, judging from the packages behind them and the food in their hands, these people had not completely lost hope in life.

I heard from the little girl that the base is just a simple shelter and there is not even much farmland, not to mention how much time it takes to produce food from planting seeds. If you want high yields, you need fertilizers and careful care. Therefore, it is impossible to rely on farming to get food now, not to mention that the land is also contaminated because of the virus, and it is not certain whether the food produced can be eaten.

Therefore, at present, the people in the shelter are basically self-reliant. Whether they are ordinary people or people with special abilities, they need to go outside to collect food in order to obtain energy to survive.

It is said that when the shelter was first established, the people in charge would still distribute a certain amount of relief food. However, later on, due to the reduction of food, conflicts between people with super powers and ordinary people, moral collapse, and various reasons such as inequality rather than scarcity of food, the shelter, which was originally harmonious and united, gradually became a mess.

People with super powers think that ordinary people are just eating and waiting to die, wasting food, making no contribution yet eating more every day, so they should share most of the food they have collected with ordinary people. Ordinary people feel that they have worked hard to build the base, but those people with super powers bully them at will, and their moral collapse and humiliation and bullying are unbearable.

In addition, the manager is a person with super powers. He feels superior because of his abilities, and he is biased and tries to smooth things over. As a result, an unexpected incident occurs, and a violent conflict breaks out between ordinary people and people with super powers. The conflict escalates, and finally there is even a concentrated fire incident, with both sides attacking each other.

Although ordinary people have no abilities, they are numerous. Although superpowers are powerful, low-level superpowers are powerless against the attacks of hundreds of people. Therefore, a melee broke out. On one side, various superpowers were used, while on the other side, hoes, steel bars, and bricks were thrown and chopped. Although the conflict was finally stopped, hundreds of ordinary people and dozens of superpowers died in that conflict, which greatly reduced the strength of the shelter.

Faced with such a situation, even the people in charge found it hard to accept, and eventually the current situation was formed. Whether they were people with super powers or ordinary people, they had to rely on themselves to collect food outside, but each time they collected food, they had to pay 30% of it to the shelter, so things became like this.

However, this kind of thing may seem fair on the surface, but in fact, the ability of people with special abilities to collect food is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

However, although some people were dissatisfied, resistance was indeed impossible. At the beginning, those ordinary people still had the passion to gather together to resist, but after hundreds of people died, they discovered the reality of the world today. It is no longer as peaceful as before, where they can talk about reason and morality, but it depends on who has the stronger power and who has the bigger fist.

The spirit is broken, people’s hearts can no longer be gathered together, and ordinary people can only face reality.

The fact that they are weak, the fact that they are powerless, the fact that they are struggling to survive, and the fact that they are not as good as those with super powers.

Of course, these are all inferences made by Kato Megumi based on what the little girl said. Although she has not seen it with her own eyes, the facts must be pretty close.

The team moved forward quickly and soon it was their turn.

There were two young men guarding the gate. Kato Hui could feel that the two men had an aura different from that of ordinary people. There was a special power leaking out of their bodies. Although it was very small, there was indeed power in their bodies.

Perhaps these two people are the superpowers in this world, right? Kato Megumi guessed.

"Take out the food and hand over 30% of it."

Two men at the door sat on chairs and started talking. In front of them was a table with a lot of food on it. Obviously, these were handed in by people entering the city.

No matter who you are, as long as you have food on you, you have to hand over 30% of it.

"Okay, okay!"

The little girl was obviously used to it. As soon as the gatekeeper spoke, she took out some food from her plastic bowl and handed it to him.

"that's it?"

The man looked at the black taro with disdain and frowned.

However, when he saw that the person in front of him was a little girl and her damaged plastic basin, his eyes seemed to take it for granted.

How much food can a child collect? We are lucky to have collected this much and not have it die outside.

So the man pushed the taro aside with disgust and waved his hand.

"Okay, let's go."

"Uh-huh"

The little girl nodded hurriedly, ready to take Kato Hui in, and Kato Hui was also ready to follow the little girl in. Unexpectedly, she was stopped by someone.

"You, wait, where's the food!"
