75 -73: One Month Later

She recounted the scenes she observed while entangling with the zombies yesterday.

Those behind Mo Yan nodded.

Among them, a girl with a ponytail was particularly noticeable as she walked out of the crowd with red eyes, tremblingly saying,

“My boyfriend was slashed open by one of their claws.

They didn’t use to strike so fast before, he didn’t even have time to dodge before…”

The girl couldn’t continue.

Su Mo had also witnessed the man’s tragic state.

“There’s no method of evolution for now,” Lu Chen frowned, clearly dissatisfied with the answer, but he had to accept it.

“What exactly are we missing?” Mo Yan was also puzzled, appearing very calm about major issues, “What exactly is this opportunity?”

“Is it like in those doomsday novels where there’s a crystal core in the head?” This was suggested by a young man behind Mo Yan, but Su Mo immediately rejected it the next second.

“No,” she shook her head, “There’s only a mushy pulp inside.”

She had killed so many zombies but had never seen anything like a crystal core.

The zombie she killed yesterday, which had half of its head gone on the roof of the car, had absolutely nothing inside.

A heavy silence fell upon the group.

“I have a suggestion,” Li Qian raised his hand and then humbly put it down, “In the future, when we go out to find supplies, our two teams should operate together for better security.”

“Aren’t you afraid these people will rebel?” Ai Yang spoke up.

Su Mo gave him a look as if to say he was stupid and mocked, “Are those two bombs Lu Chen planted a joke?”

“…”

Ai Yang’s face turned awkward, and he stopped talking.

“That’s settled then,” Lu Chen decided firmly.

Mo Yan didn’t object.

Su Mo felt that since there was no way to upgrade, the priority should be to store more food and enhance their own strength.

And so, a small meeting dispersed just like that.

Jianxiong was found in the cafeteria with Zhao Changsheng.

When Su Mo got the message and hurried over, she saw the two men drunk as lords, surrounded by many empty bottles at their feet.

She was speechless at this sight.

These two who always fought upon meeting could put aside their grudges over a few bottles of alcohol?

She had people carry them back, confiscated the remaining alcohol, and then went to find Li Qian to learn his method of brewing tea.

Li Qian did have some tricks up his sleeve in this area, and Su Mo tried out the effects that evening when she returned.

That same day, her Skill Level with Biluochun Tea and Jasmine Tea rose to 50%, the energy boost from Jasmine Tea surged to 25%, and the healing effect of Biluochun Tea became intermediate.

She then had Lu Chen bring all the remaining tea leaves in the dormitory and brewed each one.

Unfortunately, only one West Lake Longjing Tea emerged, which made her feel “Light as a Feather.”

After drinking it, she could jump two meters high.

She nearly cracked her skull within the confines of the dormitory.

Thereafter, as though it was prearranged, for the following month, Su Mo and Mo Yan’s teams would go out every few days in search of new food to bring back.

When Lu Chen was out, he found a ceramics shop and gathered many small, delicate glass bottles for her.

Su Mo brewed the three kinds of tea and poured them into the glass bottles to keep in the System Bag, ready for use when necessary.

Zhao Xiwen and Chu Mengyao tirelessly worked on water storage in the prison every day, and Li Qian did not give them a single moment of leisure, which kept them from causing trouble for Su Mo.

There was still not a single piece of news from the radio station.

Lu Chen had replaced her gun with one twice the size of a revolver, with a longer range and more firepower.

She had taken an instant liking to this gun when she saw it, and its appearance completely retired both the revolver and the leg pack.

Not long ago, they had made another trip to Pingshui County, where everyone felt the abundant supplies were worth the risk.

However, their luck was still out of favor as they encountered a horde of zombies; the trip was extremely dangerous.

Surrounded by the horde, Su Mo and Lu Chen were in dire straits when Mo Yan’s squad, seeing no hope for assistance, drew part of the horde away to speed off in their vehicle.

Jianxiong drank all the tea Su Mo had given him and fought desperately into the zombie crowd, trying to rescue the pair.

Su Mo’s System Bag included many Energy Teas for Lu Chen and herself, so they could have broken out, but unexpectedly, Zhao Changsheng and Li Qian did not flee either.

They joined in and fought their way out, forcefully breaking out with them.

Mo Yan, who had thought their survival was unlikely, felt somewhat uncomfortable until he heard the next day that they had returned, which left him internally shocked.

Su Mo did not bother to blame him; it has always been so that in the face of great disaster, humans coldly look out for themselves.

It was the actions of Zhao Changsheng and Li Qian that far exceeded her expectations.

She had thought the two would certainly run, yet she had underestimated Zhao Changsheng’s persistence toward her and Li Qian’s willingness to cooperate.

After discussing with Lu Chen and Jianxiong, she decided to include these two men in their circle of trust.

After obtaining their agreement, she used a Flat Pot and a rice cooker to prepare a feast for them.

The mature crops in the pond would appear in her hand with just a thought, which again surprised them.

At this point, Su Mo’s bodyguard team gained two strong members.

Lu Chen felt slightly relieved.

Besides the necessary daily training for her development, with so many people protecting Su Mo, he was considerably at ease.

Every day he would teach Su Mo some combat and self-defense techniques.

This girl was growing at a visibly rapid rate.

The System’s upgrade progress bar had reached half of its completion in this past month.

She had not chosen to upgrade but instead exchanged most of her zombie-killing points for a new cookbook and seedlings for fish and small shrimp.

The grass carp originally in her pond was replaced with the more expensive Crucian Carp, and she also raised many river shrimps.

Every one of them contained a trace of energy – the more expensive the breed, the higher the energy, and the more delicious the taste once cooked.

Su Mo’s culinary skills improved leaps and bounds under Su Niang’s tutelage.

She even made special meals for them from time to time, leading to a spike in their weight.

Everything in the prison was on track and running smoothly.

Whether ordinary people or those few inmates with superpowers, everyone’s lives had improved significantly.

Lu Chen had said that there would be no leaders in the prison, and he made it so.

Everyone conscientiously stuck to their posts.

Those cultivating the fields worked even harder for the extra portion of food they could receive.

Although it still did not rain, the cells no longer lacked water.

Despite restrictions, no one was worried about dying of thirst anymore.

Today, there was no need to go out to collect supplies.

Taking advantage of the cool morning weather, Su Mo followed Lu Chen to the spacious airing yard, where the two prepared to practice close-quarter combat.

This state had continued for over a month.

Her strength had greatly increased, and sometimes she was even able to string together a series of blows on Lu Chen.

“Ready?” Lu Chen asked, wearing gloves on his hands to avoid injuring her, and had also provided her with knee pads and elbow guards.

They weren’t specialized gear, just something Su Niang had made with cloth wrapped around some cotton padding.

“Bring it on,” Su Mo said proudly, tilting her head up and beckoning to him with a hooked finger.

The man’s lips curved into a grin, and his fist clenched, charging directly toward her.

His punch, swift as if breaking through the air, rushed towards Su Mo’s face.
