215: I never thought I'd get rich so easily!

As Ai Yue continued to kill, the bloodlust in her eyes was ignited.

This also made Ai Yue more and more excited as she killed, no longer concealing her abilities. Her various Superpowers were unleashed one after another, leaving the few people beside her stunned.

It was incredible. In a short time, Ai Yue had already used five Superpowers, and each one was extremely powerful.

Any zombie hit by Ai Yue either disappeared in Annihilation or had its entire body smashed to pieces.

"Why are you looking at me? Hurry up and clear the zombies in front of you!" Seeing everyone looking at her in surprise, even slowing their movements, Ai Yue couldn't help but shout loudly.

Gong Qiuqiu quickly recovered from her initial shock. Without saying anything, she increased her Superpower output.

Soon, the few of them eliminated many zombies, and it was only a matter of time before they cleared the zombies in front of them.

Just then, the zombie hidden in the shadows could no longer hold back and finally showed itself.

As soon as it appeared, it rushed towards Ye Rui at an extremely fast speed.

Ai Yue had already discovered it the moment it appeared and moved to block in front of Ye Rui before it could reach her.

A Lightning Orb instantly formed in her hand. Seizing the opportunity, she flicked her wrist, and the orb in her palm vanished.

When the orb reappeared, it was already above the zombie's head.

Ai Yue didn't hesitate. She squeezed her hand hard, and the orb emitted a dazzling light, exploding with a violent 'boom'.

The dazzling light temporarily blinded everyone.

Of course, this did not include Ai Yue. She took advantage of this brief moment to immediately pounce on the zombie.

Before the zombie could react, she waved her hand, and a military knife appeared in her grasp.

Clutching the knife with both hands, she fiercely thrust it towards the zombie's forehead.

As she got closer, the zombie suddenly became alert, facing Ai Yue head-on, face to face.

There was no blood-red in its eyes, only a faint red outline. Seeing Ai Yue gripping the knife and slashing towards its forehead, it showed no reaction, its eyes calm and still.

Just as Ai Yue's knife touched its forehead, it vanished.

Ai Yue's strike hit nothing but air.

Unbelievable!

How did it suddenly disappear?

Ai Yue, who had struck air, immediately turned around and retreated to Gong Qiuqiu and the others.

Everyone stared vigilantly at their surroundings.

"Is that a zombie? Look at the calm in its eyes, the intelligent gaze. If it weren't for the rotten flesh on its face, I'd believe you if you said it was human!"

Gong Qiumu said anxiously.

"I didn't expect zombies to develop intelligence when their level increases. This means their potential is enormous, and most importantly, they can develop intelligence in a very short time. That's the scariest part..." Gong Qiuqiu's expression was solemn, her brows furrowed, yet she spoke with ease.

Previously, no one had thought in that direction, but now, hearing Gong Qiuqiu's reminder, their hearts were filled with dread.

Thinking about it carefully, it was too terrifying. Evolving intelligence in such a short time, if they were given more time to develop, where would humanity's living space be then?

"How could it develop intelligence so quickly?" Ye Rui rarely spoke, asking.

"I guess it's due to the white mist spewed by the giant beast," Ai Yue speculated.

"Exactly, I guess so too!"

While everyone was talking, the zombie reappeared, taking advantage of their distraction. This time, it was still a sneak attack on Ye Rui.

But Ye Rui wasn't some ignorant little girl; she had participated in countless life-or-death battles.

Her subconscious combat instincts were very strong.

Ye Rui was very angry. Was she that weak? Why did it keep picking on her alone? This was outrageous!

She stomped her foot, and a whip made of blue lightning instantly appeared in her hand.

Ye Rui wielded the Lightning Whip with fierce power, and for a time, the zombie with the ability to disappear at any moment had no way to deal with Ye Rui.

Ai Yue and the others on that side were not idle either. They all gathered forward, besieging the zombie together, not allowing it to escape the encirclement.

At this moment, a trace of panic finally appeared in the zombie's eyes, but soon, the zombie disappeared again. This time, a long time passed, and it did not reappear.

Ai Yue was filled with regret. If she had killed this zombie and obtained its crystal core, it would surely be filled with a massive amount of energy.

In that case, perhaps her space could upgrade after absorbing its crystal core.

Alas, what a pity!

Seeing that it couldn't defeat the few of them, the zombie understood that if it stayed any longer, it might remain there forever, so it decisively fled.

It fled, but the large number of zombies in front of Ai Yue did not, and Ai Yue, who had been feeling down, showed a hint of happiness.

These zombies all had crystal cores in their brains. Although the quality wasn't great, they were at least crystal cores.

Having seen better zombie crystal cores, the ordinary crystal cores within common zombies no longer held as much appeal.

Since it was something delivered to their doorstep, not taking it would be a waste of resources.

The few of them got busy again, vowing to slaughter these swarming zombies.

An entire day passed, and the few of them finally killed the last zombie. They were completely exhausted.

Even Li Shilan collapsed onto the ground, devoid of any energy.

Ai Yue still had a bit of strength. She quickly cast Healing on herself to fully restore her mobility.

Then, without hesitation, she threw a Healing spell to each of the others before stopping.

"Ai Yue, how many abilities do you really have? How can you have so many Superpowers? You even know your mother's Healing? It's incredible!" Gong Qiuqiu asked, utterly shocked.

"Oh, calm down, calm down. Just a small talent, nothing worth mentioning, nothing worth mentioning!" Ai Yue waved her hand, her expression blank, as she said.

"Small talent? Nothing worth mentioning? My goodness, do you know what you're saying?" Gong Qiuqiu said, somewhat amused.

"Alright, let's not talk about that. The ground is full of zombie crystal cores waiting for us to pick up. Hurry and dig them out, lest we invite trouble by delaying!"

Ai Yue didn't want to discuss her Superpowers with them too much, so she quickly changed the subject.

Gong Qiuqiu didn't force it. He was just shocked by the secrets Ai Yue held, but if she wasn't willing to talk, he wouldn't force her.

Nor would he covet them.

After all, who doesn't have a few secrets?

Seeing that Ai Yue was unwilling to speak, the others also stopped talking and began to quickly dig out the zombie crystal cores.

After being busy for most of the night, they finally dug out all the crystal cores.

The final count revealed there were as many as twenty thousand.

Everyone was excited, with over three thousand crystal cores distributed to each person. This quantity was truly immense; each of them wouldn't have to worry about crystal cores for a very long time.

"Who knew it would be so easy to get rich! Hahaha..."

Gong Qiumu looked at the pile of crystal cores in front of him, all belonging to him, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
