Chapter 1744 New Discovery
She turned to look at Chu Yuanqing, who was organizing his equipment not far away, her tone full of relief:
"Fortunately, Yuan Qing reacted quickly and noticed the gathering signal of the Corpse King immediately. He used his mental ability to remotely interfere and interrupt their coordinated attack. Otherwise, once the zombie horde was formed, coupled with the attack from the forces of destruction, even if we managed to break through, we would have paid a heavy price."
"However, the most sinister ones are those zombie kings. They completely ignored the five people from the Destruction Force and all their attacks were directed at us. They were clearly being deliberately guided to target us."
As Li Luo listened, her fingertips suddenly paused, her eyes instantly becoming serious, and the movement of stroking the water bottle unconsciously quickened, her heart already churning with turmoil.
“I encountered the same situation you described when I fought that mysterious man.” She took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in her heart, but her voice carried a barely perceptible tension. “At the time, I deliberately lured him into an abandoned building, hoping to use the complex terrain to restrain him. The energy collisions during the fight were intense, and the shockwaves from the supernatural abilities shook the entire building. The nearby zombies were attracted by the noise, but before they could even get close to us, they were all instantly killed by the shockwaves.”
Her brows furrowed, her eyes darkened, and her tone was filled with belated realization and worry:
"At the time, I was so focused on dealing with that mysterious person that I didn't think about anything else. Now that I think about it, I realize something is wrong. The direction in which the zombies gathered was clearly towards me, but they seemed to have no sense of his direction at all, and there was no sign of them getting close."
A terrifying thought exploded in her mind, sending chills down her spine.
If her guess is true, the destructive force can not only make the zombies ignore them, but can even control the zombies' actions...
Wouldn't they be able to hunt zombies at will, with an inexhaustible supply of crystal cores?
The thought made her heart tighten, and a sense of urgency instantly gripped her.
Crystal cores are key to upgrading superpowers in the apocalypse. If the forces of destruction can acquire them without limit, their average superpower level will inevitably be far above that of ordinary survivors, and the gap in subsequent battles will only widen.
She omitted the details of her injury and how she escaped danger only through the system space, focusing solely on the key discovery, her tone several times more somber than before:
“This is definitely not a coincidence. The Destruction Force must have mastered a way to make the zombies ignore them. This method of using the zombie horde for their own purposes and plundering crystal cores on a large scale is a hundred times more troublesome than their own combat power. Moreover, I was unable to find any useful clues from that person from the Destruction Force. What I can confirm is that their strength is far greater than we expected, and they obviously came prepared this time.”
Her fingertips clenched so tightly they turned slightly white, and Li Luo gritted her teeth inwardly.
In the apocalypse, strength is the only sense of security. She must upgrade her superpowers as soon as possible and absolutely cannot fall behind the forces of destruction.
Otherwise, not only her own safety, but also the safety of her companions and even the entire base could face annihilation.
This overwhelming sense of urgency made her desperately want to find a densely packed area of zombies and frantically improve her strength.
Lu Jingcheng noticed Li Luo's worry, tightened his grip on her hand, his fingertips carrying a cool yet firm strength:
"Everyone has recovered quite well now, so let's stop thinking about it and head to the base in City B."
Li Luo nodded, her fingertips still unconsciously stroking the super water bottle, her eyes shining with a serious expression:
"No wonder they dared to ambush near the zombie horde; they were confident in their abilities. With the zombies ignoring them and even potentially using the zombie horde to distract their opponents, they didn't need to worry about the surrounding zombie threats and could set up an ambush with peace of mind."
