Chapter 36 - Special Crystal Core

After putting the gasoline into the storage box, Xu Qi immediately closed the door of the MCV and went to the driver's seat.

At this moment, the zombies had gathered outside. Looking down the road through the glass, it was a black mass out there.

If an ordinary car encountered a zombie tide of this magnitude, it would be impossible to charge its way through. The zombies rushed over in dense numbers and kept scratching the steel plates outside the MCV and the abandoned tanker that was honking.

"Begin holographic scanning!!"

Xu Qi immediately started the MCV and adjusted it to collision mode. Then he gave Noah an order and stepped on the accelerator without hesitation!

"Roar!!"

The zombie with blue eyes took the lead and rushed towards the tanker. The zombies that were like lackeys followed without hesitation.

Although the roar of the MCV was quite loud, it was not as loud as the sound of the horn.

Zombies were like piranhas in the ocean. They immediately tore apart the iron exterior of the abandoned tanker. Some even climbed on each other's shoulders to form a ladder and crawled into the truck through the broken window.

As the MCV was protected by high-intensity steel plates, it had only a few scratches and no serious damage.

However, surrounded by many zombies, the MCV still shook a few times from the jostling. Moreover, some zombies were still alive after being run over by the MCV and started attacking the tires.

[Congratulations to the host for killing 61 zombies. You have accumulated 77 points.]

"Beep… 3.5% of the base's tire assembly has been damaged. Repair is estimated to take 20 minutes. The holographic scan has been activated."

Xu Qi drove the MCV through the sea of zombies with difficulty. Although the zombies' main target was not his MCV, they still caused damage to his vehicle.

As Noah's announcement sounded, the results of the scan immediately appeared on the display screen at the side.

Xu Qi and Tang Wanqiu saw the camera angle widen bit by bit. Countless zombies rushed over from all directions, almost burying the abandoned tanker.

"Hold on tight!"

Seeing that the situation was beyond his control, Xu Qi immediately instructed Tang Wanqiu, who was beside him, before suddenly stepping on the accelerator!

The tanker obviously couldn't last much longer. They had to leave this place completely before the zombies changed their target to them. Otherwise, they would definitely be entangled again.

The roar of the MCV's engine instantly resounded through the night.

The steel monster seemed to be equipped with a fire thruster as it sent all the surrounding zombies flying.

There were even a few zombies hanging on the ram. The scene was extremely bloody.

Fortunately, the MCV was very energetic after refueling. In less than half a minute, it was far enough from the gas station.

At this moment, Xu Qi opened the driver's window and looked at the zombies behind him. At this moment, he could no longer hear the horn of the tanker. It had probably been completely demolished by the zombies.

However, in order to prevent the zombies from catching up, Xu Qi quickly thought of a move. He took out the Desert Eagle and fired at the tanker that was drowned by the zombies a few hundred meters away.

He planned to wipe out all those zombies!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three bullets leapt from the muzzle across hundreds of meters at high speed, striking the tanker's massive fuel tank.

For a moment, sparks flew everywhere, immediately igniting the tanker with several tons of gasoline!!

In the night, a dazzling flame soared into the sky, illuminating the surroundings like a mushroom cloud.

Immediately after, a deafening explosion sounded, shaking the bulletproof glass of the MCV.

The power of the explosion directly burned all the creatures within a hundred meters into ashes. A ring-shaped wave of air spread in all directions from the center, throwing those zombies into the air. There were casualties!

[Congratulations to the host for killing 207 ordinary zombies. You have accumulated 98 points.]

[Congratulations to the host for killing the mutant Corpse Summoner. Reward: One bottle of baiting agent (The baiting agent can attract all ordinary zombies within 50 meters and weaken the effects of the mutant.)]

The violent air wave shook the MCV a few times, but fortunately, it did not cause any damage.

Xu Qi looked at the display screen in front of him. Under the scanning state, he saw a huge pit half a meter deep near the gas station not far away. Many zombies around were burned to ashes. Even if they survived, they would be crippled.

"Beep… Scanning rare zombie core. Scanning function will stop in 16 minutes."

Just as Xu Qi was about to drive away, Noah's announcement suddenly came from the driver's seat.

This immediately attracted his and Tang Wanqiu's attention.

Seeing the existence of the crystal core, Xu Qi immediately thought of the system announcement just now. It said that he had used the power of the explosion to kill the mutant Corpse Summoner. Like the blue crystal core, it should be something in the Corpse Summoner's head.

Xu Qi glanced at the screen. After confirming that there was no danger outside for the time being, he immediately got out of the car and picked up the crystal core not far away.

[Ding… Congratulations to the host for obtaining a rare item, the crystal core of the Corpse Summoner.]

[Rare crystal cores are more useful than ordinary crystal cores. They can be used to make weapons, equipment, props, and so on.]

Xu Qi carefully examined the dragon-eye-sized crystal core with a smooth surface under the light. He could not help but be surprised.

He did not expect that this thing could be made into weapons and equipment. Even with the help of the system, it still made him feel very magical.

He already had the Water Dragon's Roar, so he did not need any other weapons for the time being. However, he still needed equipment very much.

Although his current close combat ability was not bad, he was still fighting those zombies as a human. As long as he was lightly scratched, he might become a zombie. This made him unable to let go at all and often felt restrained.

Therefore, a piece of defensive equipment was something he needed very much now.

However, the vehicle did not have the function to make equipment now. This thing could only be kept in his pocket.

"Oh right, what can this do if it's made into a prop?"

Xu Qi was still unwilling to give up. He had already collected a Scarlet Overlord crystal core, so increasing his current strength was the most important thing.

[The special ability of the Corpse Summoner is controlling the range of the zombie's activity. The crystal core in its body has the ability to open up space. It can be used to create props that contain storage functions, or embedded into other props to add storage functions.]

The system quickly gave an extremely detailed introduction.

After Xu Qi heard this, his expression suddenly lit up. He immediately asked, "Then I'll directly embed it into my bracelet, alright?"
