Suddenly, a dagger flew out from Zelda's waist, swiftly tracing a beautiful trajectory in the air, accurately aiming at the cracked forehead of the zombie!
"Plup!" A loud piercing sound echoed.
The dagger penetrated the zombie's brain, and black blood flowed down, staining its pale pupils black. The steel-made dagger destroyed its entire brain tissue, with the handle protruding straight out.
Accompanied by the sound of a loud "crack," the second-level zombie fell to the ground and couldn't get up. Damaging the brain of any level of zombie was undoubtedly fatal...
Zelda breathed heavily, leaning on the nearby steel frame. The previous kill was indeed thrilling. Although she gained the same Grandmaster-level Eight Extremities Fist ability as Derick, her physical fitness was far from being as exceptional as Derick's. The fight with this zombie was evenly matched.
"Well done," Derick pulled Zelda into his arms, gently wiping the sweat from her forehead.
"Master..." Although she didn't feel exhausted yet, Zelda found herself lying comfortably in the man's arms, her eyes filled with tenderness and sweetness.
"Master, thank you~" Zelda knew that without Derick granting her the ability, it would have been difficult and dangerous for her to kill this zombie.
At the same time, Derick could feel Zelda's loyalty towards him skyrocketing rapidly, reaching 95 points in no time and steadily rising. With this level of loyalty, even without doing anything, it would continue to increase until it reached the maximum of 100.
"Don't be so polite with your master. Remember, there will be consequences~" Derick unreservedly explored the brave and beautiful girl in his arms.
Zelda blushed, allowing the man to have his way with her. She shyly said, "Master, you can punish me however you like..."
He whispered a few words in Zelda's ear, and she blushed, nodding somewhat embarrassedly.
[Ding, Zelda killed a second-level zombie. Host receives 20 shared points]
[Ding, detected a second-level zombie crystal. It can be exchanged for points or melted to increase system space]
Derick used the sword to split open the zombie's head and retrieved a walnut-sized blue crystal from inside. This crystal was formed by the essence gathering within the zombie's brain. Not every second-level zombie had it, but the higher the level, the higher the chance of finding a crystal.
Holding the blue crystal in his hand, Derick felt a slight warmth. It had no particular taste but carried a pleasant fragrance, even inducing an impulse to consume it.
"System, what's going on? Why do I feel like I can eat this zombie crystal?" Derick communicated with the system in his mind.
[The zombie crystal is formed by the essence gathering within the zombie's body. It enhances physical attributes and has a certain chance of assisting in developing superhuman abilities. The higher the level of the zombie crystal, the higher the chance of activating superhuman abilities~] The system's cold voice came through.
"There's a chance to unlock superhuman abilities?" Derick became interested. He was still some distance away from reaching a full attribute score of 100, and it seemed like an early activation of superhuman abilities wouldn't hurt.
[The chance of activating abilities by swallowing a second-level zombie crystal is one in a thousand]
"One in a thousand? Forget it then," he sighed helplessly. The zombie crystal had many functions, but considering it, he decided to swallow it.
After all, gaining some basic attributes was still beneficial. As for the space, the area occupied by the second-level zombie crystal was less than one square centimeter, so it wasn't necessary.
[The zombie virus inside the crystal has been removed for the host's safety. You can consume it with confidence.]
Derick swallowed the zombie crystal in one gulp. It had no taste but was crispy.
Opening the panel:
Host: Derick
Superhuman Ability: None
Physical Fitness: 76
Speed: 71
Attack: 80
"Not bad. Each of the basic attributes increased by about five points on average," Derick nodded. It was a pity that he didn't awaken any superhuman ability, but he didn't have high hopes for a one in a thousand chance.
Moreover, only the system could remove the zombie virus from this kind of zombie essence. Even if an ordinary person discovered it and wanted to consume it, the end result would be getting infected by the zombie virus.
Only the system could activate the probability of unlocking superhuman abilities. For ordinary people, consuming it would only enhance their physical fitness...
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Derick teased as he looked at Zelda, her face flushed with love and affection, staring at him without turning away.
"N-No, I just think Master looks so handsome, and I really like you," Zelda said. Previously, she would never have said such words, let alone gaze at a man with such affection.
"Let's go. I'll give you some time later to appreciate your master," Derick chuckled. The stunningly beautiful policewoman and the determined and brave young girl, looking at him with such admiration, couldn't help but make him feel a sense of pride.
Zelda followed behind Derick as they entered a shopping mall. This was one of the largest upscale malls in the city, filled with luxury brands selling clothes, shoes, cosmetics, accessories, and more. Zelda rarely visited here before, mainly because she didn't have the money.
But now, in the face of the apocalypse, they could browse freely without needing money. They could simply take whatever they wanted. However, there were few survivors frequenting this place.
One reason was that there were still zombies inside the building, and secondly, most people didn't have the luxury of indulging in such things when they couldn't even find enough food to eat.
Speaking of which, it seemed like her sister didn't have much makeup. Zelda decided to bring some back for her. Derick had been eyeing it for a while, wanting to see her sister in a uniform, like a maid, Lolita, bunny girl, flight attendant, and more...
Cough, dismissing his wicked thoughts, Derick looked at Zelda, who was happily selecting cosmetics, proving that no matter what kind of woman she was, she couldn't resist the allure of clothes and makeup.
"Why bother choosing? Just take them all," Derick waved his hand, and the counter full of cosmetics disappeared before Zelda's astonished eyes.
Zelda was left dumbfounded. Although she already knew that her master had some supernatural abilities, as he had transferred knowledge to her, witnessing such a surprising scene still made her involuntarily open her mouth wide.
Next, they walked through various high-end luxury stores, clearing out everything from Chanel, Longines, CK, Gucci, and more.
"Lingerie? This one looks good," Derick said with interest as he entered a lingerie store on the second floor. Cough, there were all kinds of outfits, from sheer clothing to sailor uniforms and teacher costumes. Lisa would probably look good in this school uniform, and the fiery red sheer outfit would definitely be seductive on her sister.
"Go and try this on for me," Derick handed Zelda a piece of clothing. Blushing, she looked at the range of lingerie and her head almost dropped to the floor.
Derick held a blue lingerie set in his hand, somewhat resembling a police officer's uniform. The top was extremely revealing, with the belly button and stomach fully exposed, and the chest area was disappointingly short, making it look like a child's clothing.
The bottom part was even more shockingly revealing. The ultra-short skirt probably couldn't even cover her buttocks, about the same length as
safety shorts. And the underwear was even more impressive, with translucent chiffon decorations, pure white in color, tied by two strings. It was as if there was nothing covering her intimate area, which only made it more exciting to look at.
Zelda hesitantly took the clothing, intending to go to the fitting room to change and then come out. However, Derick stopped her and asked her to change right there.
Blushing, Zelda slowly took off her upper garment, preparing to put on the extremely short lingerie. However, before she could do so, Derick grabbed her breasts and removed her bra. "This is how it should be. Such clothing looks better with a vacuumed battlefield."
This type of lingerie was already small to begin with, barely able to contain Zelda's two prominent peaks. Now, without the constraint of a bra, they were even more eager to burst out, making her exert great effort to fasten the buttons of the top.
