After picking up a system

After being covered with the mucus, the crops that would normally take several months to bloom and bear fruit all matured in less than a day.

The seeds have been marked, and it is still a long time before the expected time. The few of them are not in a hurry to return to the city. They stay around the research institute every day, killing zombies and taking crystal cores to improve their ability levels.

Ling Jumo's ability has also been upgraded to the third level. There are fewer and fewer zombies nearby, and the higher the level, the harder it is to encounter them.

After being out for half a month and then another month, the collective abilities of several people have greatly improved. It feels like they are only one step away from the next upgrade, and they are ready to return to the city.

The main reason was that there was not enough food. I looked everywhere around and found that there was nothing left. If I stayed any longer I would just starve to death.

Before leaving, An Shixiao left some seeds behind and moved some soil to the car. It was soil without vine saliva. No one wanted to tell outsiders about what happened here. Not everything is suitable to be made public.

Back to the city, they still took the same old rickety car. Because they were not in a hurry, the five of them stopped and started on the road after finding food, and from time to time they took the crystal cores of zombies to improve their abilities.

It was Ling Han's turn to guard the car again that day. The journey was already halfway through and the city wall could be seen from afar. Ling Han sat in the driver's seat bored, paying attention to the surrounding situation from time to time.

Just as he was lost in thought, there was a polite knock on the car window. Ling Han turned around and saw the face of a young boy. He didn't know how to smile, but somehow people could feel that he was happy.

Ling Han raised his eyebrows. He met the Zombie King again today after not seeing him for a long time.

The window was rolled down, and the boy leaned against it, yelling at Ling Han in a low voice. Ling Han said he didn't understand.

The boy took Ling Han's hand, but Ling Han dodged it. The boy then stared at Ling Han, looking inexplicably aggrieved.

Ling Han refused to extend her hand, and the boy banged on the door. Ling Han pushed him away and got out of the car. The boy jumped over and wanted to hug her.

Ling Han looked at the relatively intact clothes on his body, still frowning in disdain, and pressed his hands against him. His head was supported and pushed out, but the boy didn't use any force, just kept it like that, rubbing his head.

He growled at Ling Han in a low voice, then suddenly thought of something, touched his pocket, and handed three crystal cores to Ling Han.

Ling Han was surprised: What's wrong with this zombie king? Why did he give me a zombie crystal core? It's really a pity for the zombies to have such a king.

Chi Yi: If you hadn't been so quick to collect it, I would have thought you were sincere.

Ling Han put down his hand that was blocking the zombie king's head and reached out to take it, but the zombie king took his hand back. Ling Han...what are you doing? Are you going to give it to me or not?

The Zombie King didn’t understand why Ling Han suddenly became unhappy. He tilted his head, and the crystal core turned into powder in his hand. He then handed it to Ling Han.

After absorbing three third-level crystal cores in an instant, Ling Han felt a little hot. It was more than just a little hot, but the skin all over his body was turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ling Han's breathing became rapid. She looked at the Zombie King speechlessly. Was there something wrong with him? Was he asking her to absorb so many zombie crystal cores in one breath just to make her die of starvation?

At the moment of passing out, Ling Han was still criticizing him. Ling Han suddenly fell down, and the zombie king was also a little confused. How could he fall down after eating three zombie crystal cores? I usually eat them one handful at a time.

The Zombie King was puzzled.

He sat there blankly, holding Ling Han in his arms, until he felt other people approaching. Then he clumsily put the person into the car, closed the door, and left reluctantly.

He quietly hid aside and did not leave until he saw that the companions close to Ling Han were taking good care of Ling Han.

When they came back, they saw Ling Han sleeping in the car. No matter how they called her, she wouldn't wake up. She was just like when her superpowers awakened. Could she be able to awaken a second time?

Chi Yi: No, she is just growing beyond her level. He feels that this world is so magical, his host is actually a fool, and a little bit, um, a charmer.

A few people decided to wait before returning to the city, but it was impossible to park the car in the wilderness, so they could only look for a place to live in a nearby village.

When Ling Han woke up, it was already dark the next day. He hadn't eaten for two days and one night, so he felt very hungry. He had no idea of ​​time and didn't feel anything. He asked Chi Yi how long he had slept, and when he learned that two days and one night had passed, Ling Han's face turned green with anger.

Ling Han: "Will it affect the mission if I lie down like this?"

Chi Yi pinched the fatter dumpling and said indifferently: "What do you think?"

Ling Han: “I don’t think so!”

Chi Yi: "Oh." [Turn on the blocking function]

Ling Han tries to connect to Chiyi [System refuses connection]

Ling Han: ...It’s really great!

It was Ling Jumo, who was still sharing the room with him, who first discovered that she had woken up. Ling Han felt very sorry because he had made everyone worry and delayed their return to the city.

The others didn't say anything because they were all a team and there was no need to blame each other for such things.

Ling Jumo: "Aqie, why did you faint in the car?"

Thinking of this, Ling Han was speechless again: "The Zombie King forcefully fed me three crystal cores. I absorbed them all in one breath and then fainted."

An Sixiao: Why haven’t I seen such strange things in my previous life?

Song Qi: Why haven’t I encountered such a good thing?

Ling Jumo: My sister is so cute~

Yu Jing: "Wow~ How many levels can you advance to?"

Ling Han shook his head: "I don't know. I haven't used my supernatural power since I woke up."

Several people were interested, Ling·Test Subject·Han: ... Several people left the house, and Ling Han silently began to perform. She made the flames circle on the ground, and the next second a vortex formed. The flames dissipated, and the ground was clean. Only ashes were left.

Ling Jumo opened his mouth in surprise.

Yu Jing widened his eyes in surprise: "Wow!"

Song Qi felt envious.

An Sixiao raised his eyebrows: Have I met a love rival? Suddenly feeling uneasy.

The next day, the group got on the rickshaw again and returned to the city. This time, they did not stay outside. The Zombie King seemed to be very interested in Ling Han...

Several people stood outside the city gate, feeling a little strange, as if the city was closed, but no zombies were found around the city walls.

After parking the car not far away, Song Qin and the other two tried to contact the person in charge of door reception, but surprisingly many people could not be contacted.

This is really weird.

Song Chen turned to look at Ling Jumo: "Miss Ling, why didn't you contact your sister?"

The two people who were suddenly cueed were stunned. Ling Han turned off the communicator and pulled Ling Jumo. Ling Jumo nodded and pretended to call Ling Han. Naturally, no one answered.

Yu Jing was a little curious: "So Miss Ling has a younger sister. I haven't heard of her before."

Ling Jumo laughed: "Haha, I'll take you to see him when I have time." As for the future, who can predict what will happen in the future?

Song Chen curled her lips: "That's right, I haven't seen another Miss Ling for a long time."

An Shixiao's lips twitched as well, and he looked at Ling Han: "Does Xiaoqie know anyone else in the city?"

Ling Han shook his head, and An Sixiao asked again: "Only Miss Ling and her sister?"

Ling Han nodded, and An Sixiao raised his chin to show that he understood. Then he asked, "When did Xiao Qie come into the city? Why didn't I see you and Miss Ling together at that time?"
