Qin Luo accompanied the little zombie girl as they strolled around the area designated for ordinary people, making sure not to purchase anything. They refrained from competing with ordinary people for resources. In the post-apocalyptic world, survival was already challenging for ordinary humans, and the base prioritized supplying them with resources. As a result, there were things that even ability users couldn't easily obtain, bancing out the privileges they did have.
This system of resource allocation was retively fair.
Within the human living area, ability users weren't allowed to linger for too long, or their wristbands would issue a warning.
After they had seen enough, the duo returned to their residential area, finally rexing once they were back in familiar surroundings.
"Alright, let's head home and get some rest. We'll meet up ter," Qin Luo said as he escorted the little zombie girl to her door. He yawned, revealing a rare hint of fatigue, and with a wave, he entered his own apartment.
Xu Duoduo watched him go inside before returning to her own cozy space. She busied herself with tidying up, then grabbed a mutation core from a mutated bat and perched on her favorite spot by the window.
This was where the little zombie felt most at ease.
From the nineteenth floor, she could see the base's massive walls, which gave her a sense of security. The walls seemed even wider than before. She could also see the neighborhood below and some streets; the greenery that had been knocked down by the st typhoon had sprung back to life, looking lush and vibrant.
Xu Duoduo munched on the mutation core to fill her stomach. She had progressed from needing just one mutation core to feel full to now only feeling about 80% satisfied with a single one-star core. This, she figured, was what evolution must be like. She pondered this with her occasionally sluggish brain.
After finishing the core, she pulled out a bag of chips to snack on. Now, she could taste about 15% of the fvor, a significant improvement from before, which steadily lifted her spirits.
Happiness~
While munching on chips and mutated loquats, she still felt a bit hungry. Eventually, she took out the diluted mutation core serum given to her by Professor Ji. It was strawberry-fvored, pink and cute like juice, and tasted sweet and sour.
Could it really be fvored? She recalled Professor Ji mentioning that the serum contained trace elements beneficial to the body.
To her, it was more like a post-meal drink, not as filling as directly consuming a mutation core.
Sipping on the diluted serum, Xu Duoduo leaned back against a cushion and pulled out her tablet, ready to dive into the online world. The little zombie with an internet addiction was officially online.
As soon as she logged in, she noticed that the forum had undergone a major overhaul.
Each person's personal page now had a follower count. Previously, you could only browse posts or search for someone using keywords. Perhaps the headquarters didn't want people to become too absorbed in entertainment, as the forum's previous design was rather outdated and simplistic. Some users even described it as having an "old bureaucrat" style, leading to numerous compints from younger users.
Faced with an outcry, and considering that ability users were scarce and highly valued, the officials decided to revamp the forum overnight to meet everyone's needs.
Now, personal pages included follower and following features, allowing users to privately chat only if they mutually followed each other. Additionally, users could now post updates.
When Xu Duoduo logged in, she was shocked to find that her follower count had surpassed ten thousand!
Her official profile description still read, "The Base's Only Little Zombie ^v^," and it even had a cute little emoji at the end!
The little zombie was stunned, her cws gripping the tablet as she sat there for ten minutes in disbelief.
Her only post was a tagged photo that had received the most likes. It showed her wielding a chainsaw in a battle against a zombie monster, her expression cold and emotionless. Beside her, Qin Luo sported long hair with wolf ears and was surrounded by crackling lightning elements. Chen Xiaofei was in a semi-mimicry form, using his wind ability to disrupt the zombie monster from above. Wang Weihu was depicted mid-punch, his muscur arm showcasing incredible power. Bai Shu had just arrived to provide support after the Rose Team retreated, taking over the task of restraining the monster.
The zombie monster they were facing was caught in the midst of being struck by lightning, its face twisted in agony. Its body was riddled with flying knives, its stomach caved in from powerful punches, and its arms embedded with countless bullets. Its legs bore deep cuts from Xu Duoduo's chainsaw.
No one knew who took the photo, but it was both terrifying and exhirating.
The post was titled "Terrifying! The 3A Team Are All Maniacs," with this photo as the header image.
The post had just been published that morning, yet it had already garnered over a hundred thousand replies.
It was a massive hit.
Once Xu Duoduo recovered from her shock, she began scrolling through the comments. Just like how they were unaware of the base's developments while out on missions, she had no idea about the forum's buzz upon her return.
The comments section was exploding.
- Wow, ahhhh, the 3A Team is so cool!
- Oh my god, is that the little zombie?? What a terrifying creature! She's so fierce in battle, I love it!
- She's actually using a chainsaw!! Those delicate hands, that pretty little dress! And she's wielding a chainsaw?!
- Incredible! Luo Shen's abilities must have leveled up. Wow, their mimicry fighting style is so stable!!
- Is Luo Shen a canine type? So handsome, ahhh!
- This is insane!
- Hiss, this zombie monster really looks like a giant, even more disgusting!
- Brother Wang is so strong! That jumping ability is amazing. Feline mimicry has its perks, and combined with his boxing, it's incredible. No wonder the zombie monster's ribs caved in from his punch. Just thinking about it hurts—so terrifying!
- Bai Shu must be a sniper, right? Wow, his shooting skills are amazing. Did you notice how neatly the bullets are lined up on the zombie monster's arms? Such precision! What kind of aiming skills does that take?!
- Bai Shu is such a beast, I love it. My OCD is so satisfied. Marry me, husband!
- People with trypophobia are going to die, help!
- Isn't anyone jealous of Chen Xiaofei? How does he have an endless supply of flying knives? So envious! And he can fly! Is it too te to change my name?!
- I, I, I like Chen Xiaofei. He's both obedient and fierce. That buzz cut with his expression is so wild! I just love his boldness!
- The entire 3A Team is incredible!
- Incredible!
- Amazing!
- Awesome!
...
Ultimately, everyone agreed that the 3A Team was exceptionally fierce in battle. Their arrogance was backed by real strength.
No wonder they dared to confront anyone on the forum who dared to criticize their teammates. They were all willing to step up and argue with anyone.
Strong and protective!
Many people were envious to the point of tears, wishing they could join the 3A Team.
- I can't believe it. How happy would I be if I could join the 3A Team, wahhh.
Of course, there were a few sarcastic comments, but they were rare. Some questioned whether Xu Duoduo really wielded the chainsaw, pointing out how clean she looked.
But knowledgeable individuals quickly countered those cims.
- Please, look at the brand of her dress. The craftsmanship of this mysterious boss is on par with the Craftsmanship Department, okay? With such expensive clothes, imagine how many attributes are stacked on it. There's definitely a dirt-repellent attribute!
