I'm a zombie, what's the point of awakening the yellow-haired system?

When the light faded, the archives room was in a mess. Lin Yue finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell to her knees. Wang Yuxin was also exhausted and leaned against the wall, gasping for breath. The flames of Honglian gradually died out, and her arms were covered with burn marks.

Xiao Qi wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said weakly: "It's over... They are finally... free..."

There are dots of light floating in the air, like countless fireflies dancing. It is the sublimation of the liberated soul.

"We...won?" Lin Yue raised her head with difficulty.

"Well," Wang Yuxin smiled tiredly, "We finally won..."

In the dim morning light, the strange white fog on the sea dissipated like the receding tide.

Wang Yuxin was covered in scars, her combat uniform was covered in cracks and bloodstains, and the wound on her right shoulder was still bleeding.

She leaned exhausted against the wooden pile of the dock, her long hair sticking to her face in a mess, but it couldn't hide the relieved smile on her face.

Tears rolled down her dusty cheeks, sparkling in the sunlight. This time, she could finally cry loudly.

Xiaoqi was wearing a torn white dress, her slender waist faintly visible.

She threw herself into Wang Yuxin's arms, her shoulders trembling.

Honglian's leather jacket was already tattered, revealing her slender figure and strong waistline.

She stood at the dock, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked out at the gradually clearing sea level.

Although Lin Yue's combat uniform was damaged, it still couldn't hide her upright figure.

She tied her long hair up casually, revealing her graceful neck line.

The girls hugged each other, their tears wet each other's clothes.

The sunlight shines on them, giving each of them a golden halo.

Although their clothes were ragged, they were more beautiful than ever at this moment.

Suddenly, a familiar roar came from a distance.

"Helicopter!" Xiao Qi exclaimed in surprise, "It's the rescue team!"

Several armed helicopters were approaching the island, and the airflow created by their rotors blew away the last wisp of fog. On the sea, several speedboats were cutting through the waves.

"That's... Zhang Chen!" Wang Yuxin recognized the figure on the speedboat in front.

Zhang Chen stood at the bow, holding a telescope in one hand and a walkie-talkie in the other to direct the rescue. His figure looked particularly tall in the sun.

"This bastard..." Wang Yuxin wiped away her tears, but couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, "Finally it's here..."

The rescue team's speedboat quickly reached the shore. Zhang Chen was the first to jump onto the dock and rushed towards the girls in two steps.

"I'm late." His voice was choked.

"It's not too late..." Wang Yuxin showed a tired but warm smile, "It's not too late at all..."

The sea breeze blew away the last trace of haze. On this sunny morning, the nightmare finally ended.

In the helicopter cabin, the girls snuggled up to Zhang Chen and took turns telling about their experiences over the past few days. Everyone couldn't help trembling when talking about the thrilling moments, and their eyes were filled with tears when talking about their companions helping each other.

Zhang Chen listened quietly. He noticed that Wang Yuxin's teleportation ability was already able to open multiple space gates at the same time, the temperature of Honglian's flame had increased several times compared to before, Lin Yue was able to control a larger range of ice elements, and Xiao Qi's mental power had become more acute.

"You have all lost weight..." Zhang Chen said with concern, his eyes sweeping over the girls' sunken cheeks and protruding collarbones.

"But we have also become stronger." Wang Yuxin said softly, "That kind of life-and-death training has made our abilities have a qualitative leap."

"The most important discovery is in the underground laboratory." Lin Yue took out a document from her backpack. "Dr. William has been collecting zombie crystal cores. He believes that the energy contained in the crystal cores can strengthen the soul."

"No wonder Mary's soul is getting stronger and stronger." Xiao Qi took over the topic, "Those crystal cores are like some kind of catalyst, allowing wandering souls to have a physical body."

Zhang Chen immediately ordered through the intercom: "Search the underground laboratory thoroughly, and focus on cleaning up all the zombie crystal cores!"

"Not only that," Honglian added, "we found in the experimental records that crystal cores can also be used to enhance the abilities of psychics. Of course, Dr. William's method is too radical, which has led to many failures..."

"But if we can find the correct way to use it..." Wang Yuxin thought.

Zhang Chen looked at them and found that everyone's eyes became more determined.

Chapter 751 Too Many Victims

The experiences of these days not only enhanced their abilities, but more importantly, honed their will.

"Report!" A subordinate's voice came over the intercom, "A large number of crystal core storage rooms were found on the third underground floor. The preliminary estimate is that there are thousands of them!"

"No wonder the abnormal phenomenon on this island is so strong." Zhang Chen frowned, "Immediately organize personnel to clean up, and all crystal cores must be transferred to special containers."

"Master..." Wang Yuxin suddenly grabbed his hand, "We want to continue studying these crystal cores."

"But this is too dangerous!" Zhang Chen objected subconsciously.

"We are no longer who we were before." Honglian said firmly, "After experiencing this incident, we understand better how to control power."

"Moreover," Xiao Qi added, "if we can crack the secret of the crystal core, perhaps we can help more people with special abilities."

Zhang Chen looked at their determined eyes and finally nodded: "Okay, but it must be done under strict supervision."

The sun shines through the helicopter windows onto the girls. Although they are tired, they exude a mature glow after going through hardships.

As the sun sets, the five girls stand in the luxurious living area, looking at everything in front of them in a trance.

Everything here is completely different from the apocalypse outside. Exquisite crystal chandeliers, soft leather sofas, hand-woven carpets... Each room is equipped with a private bathroom and 24-hour hot water supply.

"There's actually air conditioning here..." Xiao Qi sighed softly, looking at the central air conditioner on the wall that was functioning normally. In the end times when supplies were extremely scarce, such power supply was simply a luxury.

Wang Yuxin stroked the soft Egyptian cotton sheets on the bed and thought of the survivors in the refugee camp outside who were crowded in tents and could only cover themselves with tattered blankets.

"I heard that there are hot meals every day..." Honglian looked at the exquisite snacks on the dining car, her eyes moistened. After the end of the world, most people rely on compressed biscuits and nutritional supplements to survive.

Lin Yue opened the closet, which was filled with brand new clothes, from daily casual clothes to evening gowns. Outside, clean clothes became a luxury.

"Ladies," several young maids stood respectfully at the door, "Do you need us to prepare your bath water?"

The girls smiled at each other, with gratitude and cherishment in their eyes. They knew too well how cruel the outside world was. On that strange island, they had brushed shoulders with death countless times.

"Remember that night?" Wang Yuxin said softly, "We were crowded in the corner of the laboratory, and even a bite of dry bread had to be shared..."

"And when we were being chased by Mary," Lin Yue took over the topic, "we didn't sleep for three consecutive days..."

"It's incredible to think about it now," Xiao Qi wiped his eyes, "We actually survived..."

Honglian walked to the window, looked at the refugee camp in the distance, and said softly: "We must cherish all of this..."

"Yes," Wang Yuxin nodded, "To be treated like this, we have to work harder."

The cold wind was howling, and the camp gate was crowded with ragged refugees, some of them holding children, some supporting the elderly, with fatigue and fear on their faces.

"Please... let us in..." a young mother holding her baby cried, "The floods in the south have submerged the entire city, and we have nowhere to go..."

Wang Yuxin stood on the watchtower, looking at the dense crowd below. These were all survivors who had fled from the south. They heard that Zhang Chen's camp in the north had sufficient supplies, so they came from afar to seek refuge.

"What's the situation?" Zhang Chen walked up to the watchtower and looked at the crowd outside with a frown.

"According to preliminary statistics, there are about 3,000 people." Honglian flipped through the report in her hand, "Most of them are ordinary civilians, but..."

"But what?"

"We have found several suspicious wounds." Lin Yue took over the topic, "They may have been scratched or bitten by zombies. They tried to cover them with clothes, but they couldn't escape our inspection."

Zhang Chen's expression became more serious. His northern camp system was indeed huge, spanning several provinces, and the material reserves were quite sufficient. But because he was managing the lives of so many people, he could not take it lightly.

"What I'm most worried about is the infected sneaking in." Xiao Qi scanned the crowd with his mental power. "If someone transforms inside the camp, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Besides, it's freezing cold right now," Wang Yuxin added. "It's easy for an epidemic to break out when people are crowded together. Although we have sufficient medical resources, they can't withstand such consumption."

"Let me go check it out." Honglian said as she was about to go downstairs.

"Wait," Zhang Chen stopped her, "I have an idea."

He turned to Wang Yuxin: "Your spatial ability can open multiple inspection channels and allow them to pass through in batches."

Then he looked at Xiao Qi and said, "You are responsible for using your mental power to scan and focus on checking for any signs of infection."

"Lin Yue, you set up a disinfection area at the exit of the passage."

"Honglian, your flame can quickly deal with contaminated items."

The girls nodded in agreement. Soon, a strict inspection procedure was established.

"Let them line up!" Zhang Chen shouted into the loudspeaker, "We will check them one by one. Healthy people can enter the camp, but they must be isolated and observed!"

The crowd cheered. Although the procedure was strict, there was finally hope.

"Remember," Zhang Chen said to the girls, "you must check carefully. Don't be hasty. There are hundreds of thousands of survivors living here, and we are responsible for protecting their safety."

In the cold wind, the inspection work began in an orderly manner.

This is a job that tests patience and responsibility, but it is necessary for the safety of the camp.

Amid the falling snow, Zhang Chen was about to leave the inspection site when he heard a slight sound. A little girl about ten years old fainted in front of the porridge shed, her thin body almost buried in her coat.

"Someone come quickly!" Zhang Chen rushed over in two steps and picked up the little girl.

She was as light as a feather and her face was as pale as paper.

Warm steam wafted from the porridge shed, which Wang Yuxin had specially set up at the entrance of the camp.

Adding brown sugar and shredded ginger to the hot white porridge can quickly replenish the wanderers' physical strength.

"Feed her some warm water first." Lin Yue handed over the thermos cup, "People who have been hungry for too long should not eat too much at once."

The little girl woke up slowly, and when she saw Zhang Chen in front of her, she timidly wanted to get up.

"Don't move, take your time." Zhang Chen said softly, signaling the waiter to serve another bowl of porridge.

"Thank...thank you, leader." The little girl said softly, "My name is Xiaoyu, I escaped from the south."

Zhang Chen noticed that her eyes were very clear. Although she had gone through a lot of hardships, she was still strong.

"Xiao Yu is a superpower." Xiao Qi suddenly said, "I feel energy fluctuations in her body, although it is very weak."

Chapter 752 Relief Food

Xiaoyu nodded in surprise: "I...I can talk to plants. But now I'm too weak to do anything."

"Take good care of yourself," Zhang Chen touched her head, "When you recover, you can go to the supernatural academy in the camp to study."

The little girl's eyes lit up: "Really? I will definitely work hard! When I learn to control my superpowers, I will protect everyone like the leader!"

Zhang Chen smiled and was about to speak when he heard an urgent call from the intercom. There was a problem in the West District Material Warehouse and he needed to deal with it immediately.

"I have to go." Zhang Chen stood up, "You take good care of her."

"Chief!" Xiaoyu suddenly called out to him, "When I grow up, I will definitely repay you for your kindness!"

Zhang Chen looked back and saw the stubborn look in the little girl's eyes. He couldn't help but think of Wang Yuxin and the others. Perhaps this strong little girl could also grow up to be an outstanding psychic.

"Have a good rest," he left his last words, "Welcome to the North Camp."

The snow fell heavier and heavier, and Zhang Chen's figure soon disappeared in the wind and snow.

The refugee resettlement site was a renovated industrial plant. Although the concrete walls could block the biting cold wind, the cold air still seeped in from the ground. Xiaoyu and her parents huddled in a corner, sharing the only blanket.

"Xiaoyu, come closer to me." The mother hugged her daughter lovingly, warming her with her body temperature. The father sat outside, shielding his wife and daughter from the cold wind like a human wall.

The factory was full of families huddled together for warmth, and the oppressive air was filled with anxiety and fatigue. But compared to the snow and wind outside, this place was a rare shelter.

"Old Zhao, come here." Lin Yue stood at the entrance and greeted Old Zhao, who was in charge of the resettlement work.

"Miss Lin, what do you want me to do?" Old Zhao is a man in his sixties who has worked in the camp for many years and is enthusiastic and reliable.

"Do you see the family of three in the corner over there?" Lin Yue pointed at Xiaoyu's family. "That little girl is a superpower. The leader has taken special care of her. Please take good care of them."

"Understood!" Old Zhao immediately understood, "I'll arrange it right away."

After a while, Lao Zhao walked up to Xiaoyu's family with the registration book and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, come with me. We will arrange a better place for you to live."

"Ah? But..." Xiaoyu's father hesitated, "We are just ordinary refugees..."

"You're welcome," Lao Zhao said with a smile, "We have been told that your little girl has special talents and should be given priority. Come on, follow me."

Led by Lao Zhao, the family of three came to a small room on the side of the factory building. It was close to the heating pipes, the temperature was obviously much higher, and it was equipped with simple beds.

"It's so warm here!" Xiaoyu said in surprise.

"That's right," Lao Zhao explained as he helped them make their beds. "This room was converted from an office, so it has good sound and heat insulation. You guys stay here first, and I'll have someone send some thick blankets over tomorrow morning."

The mother was so moved that she burst into tears: "Thank you so much..."
