After her arm was bandaged, Wen Yi Tong took out more crystal cores from her spatial storage.
She distributed some to those around her and then closed her eyes, diligently absorbing the energy from the crystal cores.
The people by her side, upon receiving the crystal cores, did not immediately absorb them. Instead, they guarded Wen Yi Tong, keeping watch of their surroundings, fearful of any danger.
After about ten minutes, Wen Yi Tong finally opened her eyes. Upon opening them, she saw the people guarding her.
Wen Yi Tong smiled at him, "Thank you for guarding me. You should go and absorb crystal cores too."
"Alright." He then took the crystal cores and went to another area to absorb them.
The sounds outside gradually subsided. Wen Yi Tong was unaware of the situation outside, but she knew it was still very dangerous.
It was a shame about those crystal cores from before; she hadn't had time to collect them. She carefully sensed her abilities and found that after this absorption, her powers were higher than before, and she was closer to level six.
With a few more such experiences, she was sure she could reach level six.
Wen Yi Tong looked at her palms, gently pouring the powdered crystal cores onto the ground.
The wound on her arm had stopped bleeding. She planned to go out later to collect the crystal cores from those zombies.
She wondered how others were doing, but she hadn't heard any screams, so they were likely all safe.
After the people by her side also woke up, Wen Yi Tong prepared to open the door and go out.
"Boss, should we wait a little longer?" he was still somewhat worried.
"There are no more sounds outside. I think there's no danger. Those crystal cores outside must be collected quickly. I don't have many crystal cores left in my spatial storage.
We still need to rendezvous with them later. With these crystal cores, we'll be safer," Wen Yi Tong said, preparing to open the door.
Upon opening the door, Wen Yi Tong found no zombies outside. However, she did not let down her guard. She slowly moved into the corridor and discovered that the entire corridor was silent.
Wen Yi Tong found it extremely strange. The appearance of these zombies had been too sudden and too organized, and their disappearance was equally so.
This was completely illogical. She walked cautiously down the corridor, trying not to make any noise.
However, after a long time, she still hadn't encountered a single zombie.
Although Wen Yi Tong hadn't lowered her guard, she had already started collecting the crystal cores from the ground. She collected them as she walked, and until she reunited with some of her team members, she didn't see any zombies.
"Were the zombies all killed? Or did something happen?" Wen Yi Tong asked the companions she found behind her.
"I don't think so. It seems the zombies just disappeared after we hid," one of the teammates said.
"It seems to be the same here. It's like this for me too."
"But why would that happen? Are these zombies being controlled by someone?" one of them suspected.
"That shouldn't be the case. I haven't heard of any abilities that can control zombies!" someone retorted.
"Let's proceed with caution! Regardless of the situation, we've already entered, and it seems difficult to get out again." Wen Yi Tong knew that what she had encountered this time was definitely not simple, so they had to be extremely careful.
However, she didn't believe that anything could keep their group here. After all, the strength of their team was already top-tier in this apocalypse. She had great faith in their abilities.
"But no matter what we encounter, we can solve it, right!" Wen Yi Tong said with great confidence.
"Yes, we can definitely solve it!" They were also very confident.
After all, they were the first to know that crystal cores could enhance abilities. Their own ability levels were already higher than others, so what did they have to fear?
Seeing their spirits lifted again, Lin Yan felt it was time for another round.
However, it wouldn't be as fun to use the same method. "Group Three, prepare to release the mini-boss!"
Among this horde of zombies, there was one with a particularly high level, close to level six, which was comparable to Wen Yi Tong's level. She wondered who would be more formidable in a fight.
"Group Three received." The vines that had restrained the zombie slowly loosened, revealing the zombie within. This zombie was half a head taller than an ordinary person, and its arm could reach the ceiling when stretched.
Its face was pale blue, and its arms and thighs were incredibly thick.
As soon as it was released, it began to smash things around. Then, as if sensing something, it stopped its rampage and walked towards the door.
Strangely, despite its huge size, the zombie walked very quietly, without the dragging sound of ordinary zombies.
The youth who had untied the vines jumped out of the adjacent window and, with a light touch on the window frame, ascended to the floor above. With a few more leaps, he disappeared through an open window.
At this moment, in the building's surveillance room, a young man walked in from outside.
"Brother Cheng, how's it going?" He had just let the zombie go and wasn't sure if it was following the script.
"Look, they've met!" Wang Cheng pointed at one of the surveillance screens. "However, the ability level of this Boss Wen seems a bit inflated."
"She's just relying on her high level. If she were to really fight us, she probably couldn't even beat Sui Sui." He was also disdainful. He casually pulled out a stool and watched with Wang Cheng.
At this moment, on a few screens in the corner of the surveillance wall, several of Wen Yi Tong's companions were bound by ropes, blindfolded, and gagged, lying hunched over in a storage room.
They had joined Wen Yi Tong's team later and were separated by Group Two, then knocked out and tied up here.
Although they would suffer some hardship here, at least they were safe.
The tall zombie, upon its appearance, captured the attention of everyone.
"Be on alert, pay attention to coordination. This zombie is at a very high level, let's go at it together!" Wen Yi Tong said this, but she was the first to step forward, preparing to face the zombie.
Although this zombie was very tall, its body was very agile. Its evolutionary direction was speed and strength.
As soon as Wen Yi Tong engaged it, she realized how difficult it was to deal with.
"Everyone be careful, this zombie seems to have abilities. Its speed is very fast, and its strength is also immense. Try to attack from a distance and don't get close," Wen Yi Tong said, widening the distance between herself and the zombie.
For a moment, numerous abilities bombarded the zombie. It tried hard to evade these abilities and then lunged at them again.
This zombie's strength was too great. One of their team members was directly hit by the zombie and spat out a mouthful of blood.
