Chapter 24 The Age of Malice

"Although I know you are comforting me, thank you anyway."

Lin Rou forced a smile.

Even if what Jiang Cheng said was true, there was no time for her to exercise. If she hadn't met Jiang Cheng, even daily food and clothing would be a problem.

Jiang Cheng didn't know what Lin Rou was thinking, so he just thought that she had given up, and it was not easy to say anything more.

The two chatted all the way.

Until a crossroads.

There is a small supermarket at the corner of the intersection, with a GG sign with the word Sunshine written on it.

Sunshine Supermarket has been here for some years. Since Jiang Cheng was in junior high school, this supermarket has been located here. Jiang Cheng would often come here to buy some snacks and drinks.

In addition to Sunshine Supermarket, there are seven or eight supermarkets next to it. They are born and depend on Yanghe School a hundred meters away, taking root and growing here.

It's a pity that a flood turned the originally bustling street into ruins.

Jiang Cheng pointed at Sunshine Supermarket and said to Lin Rou: "I will go to lure the zombies in a while, you hide in this supermarket, and I will call you after I have cleared the zombies."

"Okay." Lin Rou was not hypocritical.

Jiang Cheng's combat ability was very strong, and she would only add burden to the other party if she went there, so it would be better to take on the logistical responsibility openly.

"Okay, hide well, it won't take too long." Jiang Cheng instructed, and then looked at the school gate at the end of the alley of Yanghe North Road, and reminded: "If there is any emergency, just call me directly."

"Okay."

After assigning the task.

Jiang Cheng watched Lin Rou hide in the supermarket and then walked towards Yanghe East Road. He didn't stop until he was almost halfway there, and took a kitchen knife and hit the electric pole on the roadside violently.

Still the same method, the same routine.

Bang bang bang!

Because of the flood in the alley, most of the residents were drowned or infected with zombies, so it was particularly quiet when they walked in.

The sound of the collision soon spread throughout the entire Yanghe East Road.

The next second.

Aww——

A zombie walked out of a private house, and the rest of the zombies either fell from the upstairs or climbed out of the windows. In short, there were all kinds of ways to get out, and soon the entire Yanghe East Road was crowded.

Yanghe East Road was not big, about five or six meters wide and about one or two hundred meters long. Looking around, there were about one or two hundred zombies.

Jiang Cheng looked at the zombies in front of him and stopped knocking. His eyes were full of excitement. These were all precious energy points!

He bent his body slightly, and before the zombies came forward, he bent his body and rushed forward first.

Puff——

A knife was swung out, and the head of a zombie walking in front of the zombie group flew up directly.

Before the corpse fell, another knife flashed.

Facing this group of ordinary zombies, Jiang Cheng was like a wolf that broke into a flock of sheep, and it was a completely one-sided slaughter.

Lin Rou, who was hiding in the Sunshine Supermarket, also saw this scene through the glass wall of the supermarket. If Jiang Cheng was strong enough to kill more than 30 zombies alone, then he could definitely be called abnormal now.

"There are hundreds of zombies!" Lin Rou was stunned.

Ten minutes passed.

The zombies that were attracted earlier were killed by Jiang Cheng, but there were still zombies appearing in the other narrow alleys, but without exception, they all turned into headless corpses.

Five minutes later.

"Little policeman, come here!"

Jiang Cheng shook the dark red blood on the hatchet and shouted at the supermarket.

"Here it comes!"

Soon, a slender figure ran over from the supermarket.

When Lin Rou came to the front, Jiang Cheng grabbed a zombie's hair with his bare hands and explained: "When catching a zombie, it is best to grab the opponent's hair, then press it to the ground and use the knife to forcefully insert it into the top of the head. The zombie crystal is about five centimeters from the top of the head."

"I understand." Lin Rou nodded, and carefully grabbed a zombie according to Jiang Cheng's instructions, then took out the dagger from his waist and stabbed it hard.

Puff--

A dark red liquid mixed with dark blue liquid gushed out of the wound, and Lin Rou felt sick in her stomach, but she quickly adjusted herself and forced herself to pick open the skull despite the sticky feeling.

Sure enough.

A gray crystal appeared in the blue meat pile.

Lin Rou quickly reached out to dig it out, and held it in front of Jiang Cheng like a treasure and said: "Is this it?"

"Well done!" Jiang Cheng praised.

Being praised, Lin Rou smiled, she was not useless.

The two then dug out all the zombie crystals, including 20 zombie dog crystals.

Finally, the total number was 400 zombie crystals, 20 zombie dog crystals, plus the 36 crystals hunted in the morning, which was a great harvest today.

Back to the base.

Jiang Cheng immediately converted all the crystals and obtained 503.8 energy points, and the number of remaining energy points also jumped to 728.38.

There were only 300 energy points left to upgrade the base.

Jiang Cheng was very satisfied with the result.

…

July 1, 2022

Six o'clock in the morning.

Ah——

A scream broke the quiet morning.

The direction of the sound came from downstairs.

Jiang Cheng quickly ran downstairs, and when he saw Lin Rou holding the refrigerator with excitement on her face, his eyes were full of speechlessness.

On the other hand, Lin Rou was holding the refrigerator like a circus, first lifting it up, then putting it down, and then lifting it up again, as if she was playing with an interesting toy.

Liu Xinru and Jiang Cheng had similar expressions. When she saw Jiang Cheng coming, she even covered her forehead.

"Okay, if you keep playing around, our refrigerator will fall apart."

Jiang Cheng twitched his lips and couldn't help reminding.

"Oh...oh, sorry." Lin Rou playfully stuck out her tongue, a little embarrassed, but more excited.

Jiang Cheng naturally knew what she wanted to ask, and before she could speak, he said, "Are you curious about why you have become stronger?"

"Yeah, yeah!" Lin Rou nodded vigorously.

Jiang Cheng explained, "The water we usually drink and the food we eat are all special energy-rich items that can stimulate human potential and increase human strength."

"The increase in this kind of strength is not particularly large, but as long as you keep eating it every day, you will gain extraordinary power."

"In other words, as long as I eat it every day, I can also become a person as strong as an ox as the ancient overlord and Li Cunxiao?" Lin Rou said excitedly.

"You can explain it this way." Jiang Cheng admitted.

He just wanted to let this woman know that only by staying in the Dawn Base can she gain extraordinary power. After all, she drank his spiritual pool water and ate his spiritual water-rich food. If she didn't stay to work for him, she would be at a great loss.

There is another point.

Jiang Cheng's tone turned cold and he said lightly: "I hope you keep this secret in your heart and don't tell anyone."

Lin Rou was puzzled and said: "Why? If we can contact the military and hand this..."

"If we hand this over, the army will be more powerful, right?" Jiang Cheng said calmly.

"But have you ever thought about it? A man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure."

"If they really get this thing, what will I do with this magical item?"

Hearing this, Lin Rou was silent.

She had already imagined the consequences.

Looking up, Lin Rou said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was too naive."

"But don't worry." Lin Rou said seriously: "I will keep this secret, even if it costs my life."

With these words, Jiang Cheng said with satisfaction: "Actually, your idea is good, but this is an era full of malice, we can't use our kindness to test the malice of others."

"What we can do now is to live well."

"Alive?"
