The waste is going to strike back

Chapter 42: Crystal Core in the Zombie's Brain

Lu Yufan took Yan Shaohui, Mu Xin and others back to their camp. Due to the power outage, those in the team who were good at surviving in the wild started a fire early.

Everyone sat down around the fire. Mu Xin had ice-related abilities, so he felt cold. Yan Shaohui let him sit on the cushion he had prepared for him.

Lu Yufan saw this and sighed that this young master who had never taken care of others would actually become so gentle and considerate one day. He was completely different from before.

Lu Yufan's team is quite large, with twenty-five people in total. Except for three women, the rest are men. Seven of them were injured in the previous fight with the fierce man.

The women in the team are considered logistics and nurses, responsible for cooking, cleaning and bandaging wounds.

Lu Yufan handed the bunch of roasted potatoes in his hand to Yan Shaohui. Yan Shaohui took a bite and then passed it to Mu Xin. His movements were so skillful that it was obvious that he did this often.

"Shaohui, you haven't introduced who this person is yet." Lu Yufan always felt that there was something familiar between Mu Xin's eyebrows and eyes, but he couldn't think of who he looked like, so he couldn't help but urge Yan Shaohui to answer everyone's questions quickly.

"His name is Mu Xin, and he is Uncle Mu's nephew." Yan Shaohui replied.

Mu Xin smiled at Lu Yufan, "Hello."

Lu Yufan suddenly realized, "No wonder I always felt that he looked familiar! It turns out that he and Uncle Mu are from the same family!"

"Is my uncle okay now?" Mu Xin saw that Lu Yufan seemed to be very familiar with Mu Lei, and guessed that Lu Yufan should know Mu Lei's recent situation, so he asked.

"He's fine. He's now the commander of Team 3 at the base."

"Xiao Xin, eat quickly. You haven't eaten anything along the way." Yan Shaohui urged him when he saw that Mu Xin was not eating.

Mu Xin nodded and began to concentrate on the baked potato in his hand.

But I have to say, it tastes much worse than what I make. Mu Xin curled his lips secretly and complained.

Seeing Mu Xin eating obediently, Yan Shaohui curled the corners of his mouth, then turned around and started talking to Lu Yufan, asking about the recent situation in City B.

He also told Lu Yufan some of the things that happened to him after he was abandoned by his teammates, trying to ignore the thrilling and exciting parts. Even so, the people in the team still looked surprised and amazed.

After listening to Lu Yufan's story, Yan Shaohui was able to sort out the development and context of all the things in which he was not involved.

The team that Yan Shaohui was in did not return to City B, but turned around and went to City C. This was the information sent back to the Yan family by the spies in City C.

It seems that Yan Shaohui was maliciously abandoned because someone was behind the scenes instructing the team to do so, and the person behind the scenes obviously has a close relationship with some people in City C.

In addition, because the zombie virus spread faster than everyone imagined, the whole country was in a state of disarray and chaos.

At this time, Yan Longping, the head of the Yan family, stepped forward and joined forces with the other three first-class families to establish the first base in the country in City B.

Then, taking advantage of the Yan family's supreme position in the army, the troops originally belonging to City B and its surrounding areas were incorporated into the base for use.

In order to prevent people in the base from being infected with the zombie virus, Yan Longping issued orders as quickly as possible, asking the best medical team to begin conducting comprehensive physical examinations for people throughout the city. Once someone is found to be infected, they will be sent to the isolation area.

In addition, a special scientific research team was established within the base to study the zombie virus and begin developing an antidote, but progress is very slow.

Seeing that City B was the first to establish a base, people from other places chose to flee to City B to seek refuge, while others established their own bases in their own places. Among them, the first to follow City B's example was the Xiahou family in City C.

In order to prevent the attack of zombies, Yan Longping sent people to build a 20-meter-high wall outside City B, and set up a sentry post every five meters above the wall, with guards on duty 24 hours a day to ensure that nothing could go wrong.

Although the safety measures were in place, the 5,000 people in the base still needed food and water to survive. Although City B had a moat left over from ancient times that could be used as a water source, what about food? The food in the granary was only enough to feed the entire base for two days.

So in order to ensure the survival of the people in the base, Yan Longping discussed with the heads of other families, and finally agreed to establish five teams, each with 100 people, and each team would search for supplies for five days.

Because of the base's strict militarized management, the fact that there is never a shortage of supplies, and foolproof protective measures, the base established by Yan Longping has become the fastest-growing, most stable, and best base among all the bases in the country.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it had been ten months since the end of the world. When the four teams went out to look for supplies, they accidentally obtained a transparent white crystal core as big as a baby's fist from the zombies' brains.

Team Four was not an isolated case. Team Five and Team One, which went on missions immediately afterwards, also found crystal cores respectively. The top brass at the base began to suspect whether this crystal core might be the key to cracking the zombie virus, so they asked the scientific research team to begin studying these crystal cores.

However, these crystal cores are too fragile. Even if they are slightly touched by a sharp object, these fragile crystals will shatter into powder. So the crystals that were originally found were soon gone.

In order to allow the scientific research team to better study this crystal core, Yan Longping asked Lu Yufan to lead a small team from his second team to find the crystal core.

But the progress was not smooth at the beginning. Lu Yufan discovered that not all zombies had this kind of crystal core in their brains. It seemed that only higher-level zombies had crystal cores in their brains.

Gradually, Lu Yufan and his team found a pattern and started to attack those zombies that moved faster and were more difficult to deal with than ordinary zombies.

Sure enough, they soon found a lot of transparent crystal cores.

Just when they were planning to camp out for the night and return to base the next day, the people from City C came to their door.

Then I met Yan Shaohui and Mu Xin.

Although Mu Xin was eating, he was also paying attention to what Lu Yufan said. When he heard him mention the crystal core, he simply wiped his mouth, looked at Lu Yufan and said, "I have a very rude request. I wonder if you can agree to it."

"What request?" Lu Yufan was a little confused when Mu Xin suddenly asked the question.

"Can I see those crystal cores you mentioned?" Mu Xin needed to make sure that the crystal cores Lu Yufan was talking about were the ones he had seen in his previous life.

Lu Yufan nodded in agreement, then took out a crystal core from his arms and handed it to Mu Xin, while advising: "Be careful, this thing can be easily broken."

Mu Xin agreed, and after getting the crystal core, he began to study it carefully.

Yan Shaohui on the side raised his eyebrows, "Why is this crystal core so fragile?"

"I don't know either. Anyway, be careful. Otherwise, if I bring back too little, that freak of science will blame me again." Lu Yufan pinched his nose, looking scared.

"Freak?" Yan Shaohui looked at Lu Yufan with some amusement. His frightened expression was like a mouse seeing a cat. He was completely different from his previous calm and composed appearance.

"That person was invited by Patriarch Yan, and he has a very strange temper."

Yan Shaohui nodded, then turned to look at Mu Xin, "Xiao Xin, did you find anything?"
