"Good heavens, it's all resentment. Wait, how come this guy with superpowers also has feelings of grievance?" Looking at what was displayed in his eyes, Shen Muyu couldn't help but curl his lips.
"Fine, I'll just see you off." Shen Muyu muttered to herself as she picked up her gun. She had wanted to kill her earlier, and that thought probably still lingered. She didn't want to be ambushed while escorting them to the base.
Shen Muyu wanted to see the difference between the crystal cores of superhumans and those of zombies, so he chose to use a gun.
Just as she was aiming and preparing to fire, a whooshing sound rang out. Xiao A immediately drove the car forward, and Shen Muyu released her hand from the trigger because of this.
The next second, several zombies fell from the mountainside next to him. Li Qian was still recovering from the lingering pain in his head, and his movements were much slower.
Just as the zombie was about to reach them, Zhou Quan suddenly pushed Li Qian away with all his might, and then the spurting blood sprayed all over Li Qian.
As for Liu Zhu, he had already run a few steps away when he heard the commotion and was unharmed.
"Zhou Quan." Li Qian dazedly wiped the blood from his face and muttered to himself after seeing Zhou Quan, who was crushed into a pancake by the zombies.
He was stunned, but the zombie wasn't; it staggered and pounced on him.
Shen Muyu had not yet released his crystal core, so when he subconsciously tried to summon the superpower within his body, nothing appeared. Instead, a rotting maw approached, and the green rotting hairs were even clearly visible.
Li Qian, with his mouth slightly agape in disbelief, accompanied Zhou Quan.
Liu Zhu did run far away, but his stamina was no match for the zombies, so he followed them.
"Let's go, Xiao A," Shen Muyu said, sitting up straight. She hadn't expected Zhou Quan, this seemingly clueless guy, to be so... loyal?
Following the route, Shen Muyu and his group made several turns until they finally saw a passage between two parallel mountains.
The road isn't narrow, but unfortunately the mountain is quite high, so when you get to the middle, it feels like there's a narrow passage between the two cliffs.
After passing through the narrow passage, you enter a valley surrounded by several mountains. It's not very large, only about seven or eight playgrounds in size, and you can see the end of it at a glance.
However, it is very isolated. If you want to get in through this one route, you would probably have to hike over the mountains, but these mountains are all higher than the last.
"Master, we've arrived." Little A said as he parked the car on a piece of land. There was nothing in the valley on the surface, but from the bricks, it was learned that there was a large research base underneath, with a high level of secrecy, so it was not easy to get in.
"No rush, let's stop here for a while." Shen Muyu felt uneasy as soon as she saw the words "research base," especially since there was no detailed information about the interior, only instructions on how to open the door. It was better to be well-prepared for something so unknown.
Shen Muyu first took out the enhancement wheel. This thing had lost 50% of its durability after being used on a laser weapon. He wondered if it would lose less durability on a rifle, which is a relatively lower-level weapon.
Shen Muyu placed the rifle on it, and then added bone meal little by little. This time, he only used 20g to balance it.
"The enhancement was successful. The gunpowder content of the Type 95 automatic rifle is now fixed, the bullet firing stability is improved, the firing range is doubled, and the gun body materials have been upgraded."
"The enhancement was successful. The gunpowder content of the Type 95 automatic rifle has been doubled, the bullet firing stability has been improved, the bullet firing rate has been doubled, and the rigidity of the rifle body has been increased."
"The enhancement was successful. The Type 95 automatic rifle now has double the amount of gunpowder, improved shooting accuracy, and reduced recoil."
"Awesome!" The three enhancements only used 120g of bone powder, less than the amount used for a single laser weapon enhancement, but the result was more to Shen Muyu's liking.
Actually, calling it a rifle is no longer quite appropriate. Its appearance is more like a sniper rifle, with a longer barrel, a larger body, and a higher magnification scope, making it look very imposing.
This thing still retains its previous functionality; it can fire in rapid succession.
Most importantly, the bullet's size has been increased, and it can be wrapped with more mental energy, making it practically a super-powerful enhanced version of a sniper rifle.
With its attack speed advantage, it might outperform laser weapons when facing large-scale enemies.
The only downside is that once this item is enhanced, it can no longer be amplified, instantly turning it from a common item into a unique one.
Moreover, although less bone meal was used, the durability of the reinforced turntable still dropped quite a bit, and it's currently down to only 20%.
After putting away the enhancement wheel, Shen Muyu took out all the resource boxes he had collected that day.
Although there are many dangers in the city, there are also many benefits. There was no deliberate search along the way, but there were six wooden resource boxes, three bronze and one gold, which included the two contributed by the small animals earlier.
As for the golden resource box, it was tied to a level 5 zombie and was brought back by Zhan Yi.
Adding to what we collected at the very beginning of today, the harvest in just over half a day is equivalent to what we collected in the previous day or two. It's a real windfall!
