Apocalypse: Why did you provoke her? She's a cultivator.

Chapter 107 Stealing the Crystal Core

Without hesitation, Nan Shaohua rushed forward, his resilient vines sweeping across the area.

The zombie at the front was instantly knocked into the air by the vines.

He then fell into the horde of zombies and was trampled underfoot by the zombies that surged up from behind.

Just then, attacks came one after another from Chu Qingyang, Fang Jun, Zhu Qihong, and others.

Fang Jun's ice spikes and water arrows instantly pierced the zombie's neck and skull.

Then Chu Qingyang's lightning struck, slicing black holes into the zombies' skulls.

Zhu Qihong and the others mostly possessed wood-based abilities. Countless vines swept across the sky, entangling the zombies. A sharp wooden stick pierced deep into a zombie's skull.

To kill a zombie, you must destroy its brain.

Otherwise, even without hands, feet, and a body, one can still survive.

Even if it only has a head left, it can still bite people fiercely, just like a headless snake.

Seeing that someone had taken action, the people in the car felt much less afraid.

Many people with superpowers also got off the vehicle and joined the team to kill the zombies.

From a car not far away, Xiao Nuo said, "Stop the car."

After the car came to a complete stop, she opened the door and got out.

Before she could take a single step, she was stopped by a sharp voice.

"Stop right there! There are so many zombies outside, where do you think you're going?"

Two girls got out of the car in front of us; one was wearing a red short-sleeved top, and the other was wearing a white puff-sleeved dress.

Yu Jiahui looked at Xiao Nuo with impatience, "If you're going to leave, don't come back, lest you attract zombies to attack us later."

"Xiao Hui, what nonsense are you talking about? Sit back down!" Yu Wenhao got out of the car and scolded.

"Brother, am I not your sister anymore? Why do you always yell at me because of her!" Yu Jiahui's eyes reddened with anger, and her gaze towards Xiao Nuo was filled with even deeper hatred.

Song Yiqiao glanced at Yu Wenhao and, seeing his bad expression, secretly tugged at Yu Jiahui's sleeve.

She spoke softly, "Brother Wenhao, Jiahui just didn't want to waste any more time on the road. She didn't mean it."

This means that Xiao Nuo is dragging the team down and is subtly trying to undermine Yu Wenhao.

Yu Wenhao ignored her and patiently said to Yu Jiahui, "I know you've been traveling a lot these past few days. Go back and sit down, we'll be leaving soon."

Yu Jiahui reluctantly snorted and stomped her foot as she got back into the car.

Song Yiqiao frowned, gave Xiao Nuo a quick, cold glance, and returned to the car with resentment in her heart.

Her eyes remained fixed on Yu Wenhao, a hint of tender affection in them.

Yu Wenhao came to Xiao Nuo's side and squeezed her hand.

"I've spoiled Xiaohui, so don't hold it against her."

Xiao Nuo shook her head, her gaze falling on Chu Qingyang and the others in the distance. "It's nothing, it's not the first or second time, I'm used to it."

Yu Wenhao noticed that she wasn't angry and that she kept looking in the direction of the zombie horde.

He then chuckled and said, "So you want to go and fight the zombies together?"

Over time, their relationship grew stronger, and Yu Wenhao immediately understood what Xiao Nuo was thinking.

"Hmm, I see a few familiar faces. Sister Ye should be nearby."

Xiao Nuo was secretly thrilled to run into Sister Ye here.

Yu Wenhao quickly realized who Xiao Nuo was talking about—that mysterious woman!

Is that woman nearby?
The thought of that woman's sharp eyes made Yu Wenhao instinctively wary. He always felt that woman was dangerous.

In his heart, he didn't want Xiao Nuo to have too much contact with her.

He thought for a moment and said, "We've been on the highway for too long. We need to get to the next safe city as soon as possible to rest. Maybe we'll run into them there."

“Then those zombies…” Xiao Nuo hesitated.

Yu Wenhao glanced at the zombies, nearly half of which had already been killed. "They can easily finish off all the zombies. Don't worry, let's keep going, okay?"

Chen Manwen had already rolled down the car window and heard their conversation, so she also advised, "Xiao Nuo, just listen to Wenhao, get in the car and let's go."

"Alright then." Xiao Nuo sighed inwardly and turned back into the car.

Yu Wenhao closed the car door, got back into the car in front, and the car continued driving forward.

Over here, the howls of the zombies scraped against our eardrums like rusty saws.

Chu Qingyang pressed his hand down, and a terrifying bolt of lightning struck down, instantly killing the zombies.

This was already the fiftieth zombie he had taken down.

"A few have slipped through over there!" Nan Shaohua's roar came over with sharp vines.

The vines pierced through the zombie's head with lightning speed.

The pulled-out vines were still wrapped around crystal cores.

Fang Jun and Zhu Qihong and the others killed the enemies very quickly.

They worked together seamlessly and quickly took down a group of zombies.

Like a receding tide, the zombie hordes quickly piled up in large swathes.

Later, many other people with superpowers joined the battle.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, the number of zombies is decreasing at a visible rate.

When the last zombie was killed by Fang Jun's water arrow, the entire night fell silent.

The rice paddies were covered with a thick layer of corpses; severed limbs and brain matter were smeared on the ground, making a sticky sound when trampled.

Almost simultaneously, everyone collapsed to the ground, no one spoke, only heavy breathing mixed with the smell of blood drifted into the distance.

"Dig for the crystal core! Hurry up!" Nan Shaohua wiped his face and took out a small dagger first.

This is what he usually uses to mine crystal cores.

Crystal cores are the hard currency in the apocalypse; they can enhance superpowers and be exchanged for supplies. Most of the motivation for fighting for my life just now came from this walnut-sized object.

He carefully plucked at the crystal core with his dagger, his fingertips being cut by the wooden splinter stuck in his skull. Drops of blood fell onto the crystal core, making the light appear even more eerie.

Zhu Qihong shook his sore and numb arms, propped the crowbar on the ground, and was about to bend down when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a group of people walking towards him from the other side of the road.

More than thirty people surged down, each carrying a weapon: steel pipes, machetes, and some even holding rusty iron spears.

"Dig for crystal cores! Hurry, there are lots of crystal cores to dig up!!!" A bald man rushed over, cursing and spitting as he did so.

The people behind him started jeering, and some were already running forward, stepping over the corpses of zombies.

Chu Qingyang suddenly stood up and summoned a bolt of lightning with a wave of his hand.

Lightning struck the ground in front of the group, leaving a large crater emitting black smoke.

"Holy crap, what's this guy's strength? That's terrifying!"

Someone was almost struck by the lightning, and was so frightened that they dared not take another step forward.

"You didn't come to help us just now, and now you dare to dig up one of our crystal cores? We'll fight you to the death!"
