Chapter 14
Rose picked up a broken chair and poked it on the piece of meat.
A piece of transparent crystal rolled on the floor. It was the size of a thumb.
Rose's memories came to her.
In this novel, if a zombie was killed and opened its head, it would find a crystal.
Crystals would become a currency in the future after humanity was awakened. Because crystals can be used to develop the power of the awakened person.
Of course, crystals are not valuable at the moment. Because no one has awakened their power yet.
[Want to absorb a lower-level crystal?]
A status window popped up.
Rose's mouth hung open. Is it possible to absorb? Rose immediately confirmed.
[Absorb crystal successful]
[F-grade mana core, 1% experience]
"Transparent crystals are normal grade. Only 1%, huh?"
So Rose searched through the pieces of meat and the zombies' bodies.
Rose found 12 crystals and absorbed them immediately.
The search result was:
[F-grade mana core, 13% experience]
"Many zombies Only ten or so, the lowest drop rate is still 87% to upgrade the Mana Core to E-Rank." Rose muttered.
Bang
A sound rang out. Rose turned to look at the source of the sound. Her brows furrowed immediately. The sound was the sound of a gunshot.
It's not strange that there are survivors in such a large shopping mall. However, Rose was not sure whether she should show up and go find them.
"It wouldn't be good to show up. There's a woman and a little girl here. It's better to go and investigate quietly. We can't let Alice wait." Rose used Mana to cast a spell.
"Low-level magic, Invisible!"
Rose's figure instantly disappeared. However, as it was a low-level magic, it still had some limitations. Although it seemed like Rose had really disappeared, if you looked closely, you could see that the empty space was empty, as if there was a human figure there. Moreover, you could still hear the sound of her footsteps and breathing.
Rose walked steadily. She walked very slowly, in order to cover up the sound of her footsteps. Until she reached the first floor of the shopping mall, Rose found a group of more than ten people.
The one holding the gun should be the leader of the group. He was a black-haired man wearing a suit and a police baton hanging from his waist. He held a pistol in one hand and a bag containing what appeared to be food in the other.
The others were four women and six men. All of the men stood behind the man with the gun. In their hands, they had baseball bats and iron rods that could be used as weapons.
In front of the group of people were more than ten zombies. But after the gunshots, one bullet pierced the torso of the zombie in front. Dozens of zombies rushed in.
"Hurry up and kill them."
"Shoot them."
"You guys are the ones holding weapons. Go fight them!!"
"You're still making noise to lure them in." Rose complained to the group of people. Of course, for Rose, even making noise wasn't a problem because she was strong.
The zombies started to go crazy and attacked the group of people.
Rose stood there and thought about whether to help or not.
[Ding! Mission Appeared]
Side Mission: Help the Group of People
Description: Help the group of survivors who are in trouble, without revealing their identities. Or don't let the other party know that you are the helper.
Reward: Calculated from the number of survivors.
Failure penalty: None.
A simple status window appeared. Rose agreed without hesitation.
"But if you attack with magic or energy swords, the invisibility spell will be released immediately. You have to use a method without miracles...." Rose muttered as she turned to see the claw machines lined up.
The man in the suit fired shots at the zombies. Bang, bang, bang. The bullets pierced through the bodies of many zombies. However, only one of them was shot in the head. The other zombies that were shot in the torso and arms continued to jump towards him.
"Shit." The man in the suit put down the food bag. He took out a police baton and swung it out.
However, his strength was not enough to smash the zombies' heads into pieces.
The remaining zombies ran towards them, approaching the other members. A shadow suddenly flashed past.
Thump
A claw machine landed on the group of zombies who were running towards the group of humans.
More shadows fell on the ground.
Thump thump thump thump
The group of humans had been lying on the ground since the first claw machine fell. There was no sign of the machine falling down at this moment, so they slowly stood up.
No zombies attacked them anymore, because they were all dead.
"Everyone, keep your voice down," the man in the suit said softly, before looking around. When he saw that no zombies were coming, he signaled everyone to get up. He didn't know what happened, but they couldn't stay here long and risked being surrounded by zombies again.
They slowly walked away from the bag of food until they left the mall.
[Mission accomplished]
Rose released the invisibility spell. She stepped into the gap between the zombies' corpses. Sure enough, there were four crystals. Rose picked them up, and the system had just finished calculating the reward.
[Received +1000 System Points]
[Received 7 White Cards]
"Damn, the mission system has given so many rewards since we got here. Or are we going to stay temporarily?" Rose pondered before thinking of Alice. She immediately returned to the cinema.
Meanwhile, on the first floor of the shopping mall, not far from where Rose was just now,
A large zombie nearly 4 meters tall was standing still, surrounded by hundreds of zombies in all four directions.
A pair of mysterious purple eyes stared at the top floor of the shopping mall and growled. The small cage of the large hand poked at the zombies below before picking them up and swallowing them. It was as if eating its own kind of zombies made it stronger. It didn't take its eyes off the top floor, but for some reason, it told it that its own strength was not enough.
