The zombie gorilla lay on the ground, peaceful in death.

Xu Shuo managed to shoot the gorilla in the head. Be it human zombies or animal zombies, the weak spot was always the head.

Xu Shuo wasn't the least put off by the disgusting zombified gorilla. He even seemed a bit excited as he squatted beside the corpse, pulled out a pair of gloves, and started searching.

Honestly, he was really disgusted. He almost wanted to vomit.

I am never going to play such characters again.

Ming Shu: "..."

This guy is crazy.

"Look, this was found in its head." While Ming Shu was staring, Xu Shuo had opened the gorilla's head and now pointed at a golden, crystal-like object.

( Box novel.c om ) Ming Shu shone her flashlight at the object and gave a mysterious smile. "You seem to have a lot of knowledge about this."

Before he opened the head, he already knew that there would be a crystal.

People or animals who just turned into zombies are Level 0 zombies. If a zombie had crystals in its head, it meant that they had evolved to become Level 1 zombies.

A smaller crystal with better colorization meant that the crystal was purer. This also meant the zombie was of a higher level.

Just like in computer games.

At the start, all players and monsters were at Level 0. Now, the monsters had started leveling up.

Xu Shuo paused for a while and then started giving his excuse. "I met a zombie the other day and decided to cut it open out of curiosity, and I found the crystal. That zombie's speed was much faster than the other zombies' and it could use earth-element power to attack people. To verify my hypothesis, I compared it with other zombies and realized the difference. That was when I suspected that the zombie had evolved.

"Zombies can level up too, just like how we can level up our supernatural powers."

Xu Shuo looked at Ming Shu after he finished and said, "You don't seem surprised that they have this in their heads?"

The two of them looked at each other.

What Xu Shuo said made sense. If it was him, he might really cut open a zombie in the middle of the road...

Maybe she was thinking too much.

However, Xu Shuo still gave her a weird feeling. Better to be wary of him.

"I knew it all along." Ming Shu was too lazy to think of an excuse.

"How did you know?" Xu Shuo became even more confused.

Ming Shu smiled. "That's what stories are always like."

Xu Shuo: "..." Can stories be trusted?

( Box novel.c om ) Actually, everything that was fiction before really did come true.

Although the reasoning was not very precise, the meaning is there.

"This thing could be useful." Xu Shuo stopped probing and tilted his head to look at the crystal. He considered it. "I still need to investigate more about its uses."

Even if he knew how to use these things, he would not tell her now.

She will be suspicious.

The crystals could be absorbed by people with supernatural powers to level up their abilities. In the future, it was an important source of income, too.
