A complete and fitted combat uniform outlined her fiery figure, making her snow-like skin even more dazzling.

Wearing combat boots and a baseball cap-style combat hat, her ponytail emerged from the back, making Duan Xue, who already possessed captivating beauty, appear heroic. If she had a rifle in hand, she could directly pass for a character skin in a shooting game.

Duan Lei was seeing Duan Xue in this form for the first time, and couldn't help but laugh, saying:

"Sis! I've only just realized that this is the image that suits you best! Put you in Resident Evil, and you're Claire!"

"Smack!"

Duan Xue walked over and slapped Duan Lei on the head:

"Think I haven't seen it? Claire gets blown up by a plane later! Are you cursing your sister?"

"Then just stay away from planes in the future!"

Li Chenzhou also reacted, saying with a smile. Then, he looked at Zhang Hu's position, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"We need to leave the city first. Although the zombies are concentrated in the city, it's too dangerous to start clearing them here. If anything goes wrong, we'll have nowhere to retreat!"

"Right!"

Duan Lei immediately nodded:

"I forgot about that. After the apocalypse, although cities have a lot of resources, they are also quite dangerous. Zombies and mutated beasts could be hiding everywhere, as well as survivors who might be even more dangerous to us! We should leave first, and then gradually advance from the edge of the city inwards. That's the best choice. Even if we encounter zombies, we'll have enough space to retreat."

Li Chenzhou looked at Duan Lei with some surprise. This guy... what he's saying actually makes sense.

"Hehe! I like reading apocalyptic novels, so... although I haven't personally experienced the apocalypse before, I can be considered to have some 'work experience'!"

Seeing Li Chenzhou's gaze, Duan Lei quickly explained, then pointed outside and asked:

"Boss, are we going on our own, or..."

"Let's talk to Li Yunshan first. Since we're heading out of the city anyway, if possible, we can help them clear a path out! If he really establishes a base, it will also benefit us!"

Li Chenzhou thought for a moment and said:

"But remember, we're only helping them clear zombies along the way, not traveling with them. We'll be in front, they'll be behind, and we need to keep a distance!"

"Got it!"

Duan Lei nodded, then suddenly remembered something and quickly asked:

"Oh right, Boss, Li Yunshan said before that Lin Tianci, the guy whose leg you broke, was rescued by special forces. With his dad Lin Qiang's power, as long as he hasn't mutated, he'll definitely have a lot of people around him. We need to be careful. If we run into him, that kid will definitely try to hunt us down."

"Don't worry about him!"

Li Chenzhou shook his head with a smile:

"As long as we get stronger quickly enough, then all enemies will just be passers-by in our lives, just like that Zhang Jinlong!"

Lin Tianci not being dead was of course not good news for Li Chenzhou, but he really didn't care much. They shouldn't run into each other in the short term, and even if they did in a day or two, Li Chenzhou wouldn't be afraid of them. It would be a good opportunity to eliminate future troubles.

The space combat vehicle was definitely something he was going to buy, but before that, Li Chenzhou needed to become an evolver first. If Duan Xue wasn't the type of delicate girl who would scream at the sight of zombies, then Li Chenzhou would also consider evolving her.

Adding Zhang Hu's, that would be 1,500 points of slaughter. It seemed like a lot, but once he got the first 500, it wouldn't be a problem at all after Li Chenzhou became an evolver.

After planning his next day or two, Li Chenzhou stood up and handed the dagger to Duan Xue:

"Can you use this?"

"I can learn!"

Duan Xue took the dagger and looked at Li Chenzhou seriously, with a hint of wildness in her eyes.

Li Chenzhou nodded, said nothing more, and walked directly out of the room. Duan Lei and Duan Xue exchanged a look and followed together.

"Let me start by talking about what I know!"

Arriving in the lobby, Li Chenzhou happened to see Li Yunshan sitting on the sofa. At this time, Zhang Jinlong's bodies had already been thrown out.

And the survivors who had originally stayed in the lobby were now nowhere to be seen. They had probably been persuaded by Li Yunshan and his men to return to their rooms. Only Li Yunshan's people remained in the entire hotel lobby.

Seeing this, Li Chenzhou nodded inwardly. Being able to clear the scene showed that Li Yunshan wasn't the type of rigid police officer who would follow some kind of code even in the apocalypse.

However, if Li Yunshan really was that kind of person, he probably would have turned against Li Chenzhou when he killed Zhang Jinlong earlier, and wouldn't have waited until now.

"I'll talk about my understanding of this world. Some of it is what I've seen with my own eyes, like strengthened zombies and mutated beasts, and some of it is my own speculation, so it may not be accurate. Take it as a reference!"

Sitting on the sofa opposite Li Yunshan, Li Chenzhou looked at him and said.

"Okay!"

Li Yunshan nodded.

Then, Li Chenzhou told Li Yunshan some information about the apocalypse, including the strengthened zombies, the mutated crystal nuclei inside the zombies, the effects of the crystal nuclei, how to absorb them, and so on.

The secret of crystal nuclei wouldn't last long. Many people had read a lot of apocalyptic novels. Therefore, after the apocalypse, not everyone was hiding at home trembling in fear.

Some people, like Duan Lei, with "work experience," were already trying to go out, using various weapons to kill zombies, to see if they got any experience points or anything. Then they would break open their heads and hearts, looking for the kind of things described in the novels that could make people stronger.

Of course, they couldn't find anything now, and in this world, killing zombies wouldn't give them experience points or level them up or anything.

But they weren't without gains. At least, their courage had been trained, and their fear of zombies wasn't as strong. And most of the evolvers in the previous life were born from these people!

This shows that reading apocalyptic novels is very, very beneficial. Not only can it pass the time, but it can also save your life when the time comes.

"Are you sure that the city really isn't a place to stay?"

After listening to Li Chenzhou's words, Li Yunshan frowned deeply, thinking for a long time before asking, then looked around:

"If we use the hotel as a base and build defenses, it would be much easier than in the wild!"

"You can ask your brothers upstairs. They should have already discovered that most zombies wander around in a very small area and don't stray far unless they encounter prey!"

Li Chenzhou looked at Li Yunshan and said:

"That's because zombies are, after all, transformed from humans. The city is the place they are most familiar with, so they will continue to occupy the city.

Do you know how many people there are in Qing City, and how many of them have turned into zombies? Staying in the city, even without considering strengthened zombies, even if they are all ordinary zombies, do you have enough ammunition to defend this place?"
