You say the cataclysm only comes after you've cleared the entire dungeon?

The horde of corpses from the south arrived first, looking up at the giant ball of electricity on the roof, bumping into walls and trying to find a way in, but they couldn't.

So he started scratching the wall and jumping around the building, trying to get closer to the electric ball in a "straight line" manner.

"Don't rush, some friends haven't arrived yet," Lou Fengyue muttered softly, her gaze fixed on the group surging in from the west.

Inside the hot pot restaurant, Qin Qian looked at the images transmitted back by the drone and felt it was utterly absurd.

Hundreds of zombies were jumping around an electric ball, accompanied by some upbeat music; it was practically a giant disco.

"Captain Qin, this..." The female technician hesitated, her brows furrowing deeply. "There are too many zombies. Thermal imaging statistics show that the two waves of zombies total two hundred and eighty. How can she handle them all by herself? Please send the SWAT team over immediately for support!"

"Support?" Qin Qian raised an eyebrow, gave a wry smile, and said, "She's the one who got the SWAT team to stop firing. If she hadn't reminded them, those thirty-odd SWAT team members would probably be among those zombies by now. Do you think she needs our support?"

The female technician pursed her lips, but ultimately said nothing.

The horde of corpses from the west has also arrived.

A group of pale-skinned, cloudy-eyed fools dressed in all sorts of clothes looked up at the "disco ball" from downstairs and jumped up with their hands raised.

"You little fools, may you be reborn into a better family in your next life," Lou Fengyue said in a low voice, and the light in the electric ball instantly became more solid and dazzling.

boom--

She threw the electric ball down.

The zombie that was hit squarely fell to the ground instantly, emitting a plume of white smoke with a burnt smell.

Because they were so crowded, the electric current spread through their bodies, and even those zombies that weren't hit were paralyzed by the electric current.

A short while later, they all fell straight down.

Lou Fengyue pulled out a rotten wooden stick and jumped directly from the third floor to deal with the dozen or so fish that had escaped being targeted.

He then used his sensory abilities to scan the sea of ​​corpses beneath his feet, and sent those little idiots who had only been knocked unconscious by the electric shock but hadn't kicked the bucket yet, to their deaths with a single blow.

Only when there were no more zombie movements within a fifty-meter radius did she put away the rotten wooden stick and lean wearily against the wall.

After drinking a bottle of Holy Light Spring water to replenish my strength, I looked at the pile of more than two hundred corpses and felt a bit overwhelmed.

[System, couldn't you give me some kind of magnet-like item that could automatically collect crystal cores? Searching through over two hundred corpses one by one is such a hassle...]

Killing zombies is always fun, but finding the crystal cores afterward is a hassle.

If I don't look for one, it feels like a waste.

Although the crystal core level is very low and she can't use it, it's top-tier experience points for her brother!

[Upon receiving the host's request, a Crystal Core Collector has been added to the item inventory. It will be randomly distributed after the host completes a random task.]

Lou Fengyue's eyes lit up.

Can props be customized according to your needs?

You should have said so earlier!

[Could you also make some usable survival items for the apocalypse, like generators and water dispensers?]

[You're a post-apocalyptic survival system, not a post-apocalyptic combat system. You keep giving me items I can't use, making me lose interest in doing quests.]

[Host's request received. This type of item belongs to another system's item library resource. Data is being requested.]

Lou Fengyue raised an eyebrow, a sly glint in her eyes.

Oh ho, so this dog system can also steal things from other systems?

You should have said so earlier!

If she could really get her hands on an automatic water dispenser, she could just raid the zombie lairs and collect the mission reward.

Why bother looking for a water-based ability user?

Lou Fengyue got up and patted her trouser legs.

In any case, there are currently no items that can automatically collect crystal cores.

We need to honestly dig out the heads of all two hundred-plus corpses.

More than two hundred corpses were turned over one by one, their heads were poked open with rotten wooden sticks, and then the crystal cores were picked up by bending down.

This job is much more tiring than killing zombies.

Lou Fengyue squatted on the ground, mechanically repeating the same set of movements.

After searching for almost an hour, I had only found most of the crystals. My raincoat pocket was bulging with a small bag of crystal cores, which shimmered with a pale pink light in the sunlight.

"I should have known better than to kill so many at once," she muttered, but her hands didn't stop moving.

A short while later, a special police squad ran over, stood in front of her, and saluted.

The squad leader said, "Comrade Loulan, Captain Qin ordered us to come and assist you in mining crystal cores."

Upon hearing this, Lou Fengyue showed no politeness whatsoever. She stood up, straightened her back, and stepped aside.

"Then you guys go ahead and dig."

With help, the progress was much faster.

The eight people divided the work: some were responsible for rummaging through the corpses, some for digging out the crystal cores, and some for collecting and bagging them.

Lou Fengyue stood by and directed the operation, occasionally dealing with the zombies that were charred black from being electrocuted and whose heads were no longer recognizable.

In less than half an hour, the crystal cores of more than two hundred corpses were all dug out.

The squad leader walked over carrying a heavy bag and handed it to her. Lou Fengyue took it, weighed it in her hand, and realized there were at least forty or fifty coins inside.

Not bad. This bag of crystal cores should be enough to help Lou Yunzheng break through to level C.

"Not bad, you've worked hard." Lou Fengyue pointed to the mountain of corpses. "Remember to cremate the bodies, or dig a big pit and bury them all."

"Understood." The squad leader replied, watching Lou Fengyue swagger away.

A team member walked over and asked in a low voice, "Captain, what exactly is her identity?"

She killed more than two hundred zombies by herself, and Team Leader Qin even sent people to help her dig out crystal cores.

It's probably not that simple.

The squad leader shook his head. "I don't know. Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Just carry out the mission."

-

Today I earned thirty-six Body Tempering Pills, thirty-six bottles of Holy Light Spring Water, five boxes of Blood Clotting Ointment, and a useless Soul Furnace.

With a bountiful harvest, Lou Fengyue went home for dinner, completely satisfied.

When they reached the entrance of the residential area, they saw a tall man in camouflage standing there—Qin Qian.

"What is it?" Lou Fengyue's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a cold glare as she looked at the other person.

"Comrade Loulan," Qin Qian saluted, "I am not here on behalf of the authorities to see you."

Lou Fengyue raised an eyebrow.

If they're not here on official behalf, then they must be here to discuss private matters.

There's even less to discuss then.

What's there to talk about with someone you've only met once?

Are you suggesting I ask if they've eaten yet?

Qin Qian took two steps closer to her, maintaining a proper social distance, and lowered his voice.

"I have to apologize to you. It was my suggestion to my superiors to build the safe zone here."
