Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

After moving all the materials, Su Li and his team prepared to go to a construction machinery factory in a more distant location.

Because of the limited space behind the vehicle, Zuli chose a heavy truck cab, a mobile crane, and a forklift.

Then they went to a 4S store in the city. They learned about this place from Li Feng; it was a brand that specialized in off-road vehicles.

After killing some of the zombies, Su Li and her group entered the store and, after much deliberation, chose two large SUVs.

It's worth mentioning that this off-road vehicle has honeycomb tires, which don't require inflation. This is precisely what Zuli valued.

These honeycomb tires also exist on Earth, but the market for them has never been widespread. Unexpectedly, in this world, they're already as common as regular pneumatic tires.

After the two vehicles were loaded into the vehicle compartment, the entire compartment was filled. The zombies inside had to be tied up and stored in boxes.

Following the information provided by Li Feng, Su Li and his group drove the train and quickly arrived at Tianmu Medical University.

Less than an hour later, Su Li and his group's train stopped atop a tall building.

This tall building is the administrative office of Tianmu Medical University, with a total height of 13 floors.

"Having high-performance materials is great; skyscrapers are everywhere, and the cost is low." Su Li felt a pang of heartache looking at these buildings. Crystallite—this is the crystallization of the planet's life energy. The way the people of this world use it is like using a 5090 (a type of metal) to prop up a table. What a waste!

"Let's resolve this major event in the world as soon as possible, then we'll go to the military base and get a batch of dazzling crystals." Su Li's mouth watered just thinking about it. "Anyway, our train needs to be fast, so after we've looted this city, we can move on to the next one!"

Thanks to the system's power, cities in this world are practically side-by-side, making looting extremely efficient.

The group got off the train. Su Li stood on the rooftop and could clearly hear the roars of the zombies inside.

“This is the medical university,” Su Li said in a low voice. “Li Feng said that the entrance to the zombie research institute is hidden in the underground area of ​​this building. Be careful, everyone. There are a lot of zombies here. I feel like we can raise a few silver-level zombie leaders.”

The teammates nodded, quickly organized their equipment, and followed Su Li down the building, floor by floor.

The building's floors were quite different from the commercial buildings they had explored before.

When the zombie virus broke out, there were still many people on these floors, and many zombies were locked inside.

There are quite a few survivors, but unfortunately, this is an administrative building, and there are no real objects inside. There are many skin and bones of zombies here.

Further up from the 7th floor, there were signs of a fire, with the flames burning all the way to the top floor.

Zuli and his team found a large number of flower pots and other items piled up in the passageway on the 7th floor, completely blocking the passageway.

In the center of the seventh floor, Zu Li and his team found the ignition point, surrounded by a large number of carbonized human corpses.

Song Mingyu went up to check and found that most of the people had died from broken skulls. Only four people died in the fire.

After clearing out the zombies on the 7th floor, Su Li sighed, "These survivors ran up to the 7th floor and blocked it off with things. Then they started clearing the floor. They trapped a lot of zombies in the rooms. But because they didn't have enough food, these survivors still couldn't hold on. In the end, some of them probably couldn't take it anymore and chose to set themselves on fire on the 7th floor."

Song Mingyu added, "They had too little food to sustain their bodies until they adapted to the zombie virus and awakened their superpowers. It's a pity."

Every floor below the 7th floor is fraught with danger. The corridors are teeming with zombies; though slow-moving, their sheer numbers mean you could easily be surrounded. They're incredibly difficult to kill.

This made Su Li feel a little strange, because zombies should go outside during the day and devour various virus crystals.

After killing a large number of zombies, Su Li and his team reached a point where they could obtain equipment blueprints.

The system sent a notification.

[You have killed 100 GX infected zombies and obtained an equipment blueprint.]

[You have killed 200 GX infected zombies and obtained an equipment blueprint.]

Su Li took out the two blueprints that the system had rewarded her with, glanced at them, and then lost all interest in learning them.

The first blueprint was a black iron-grade zombie skin coat. Wearing it was too terrifying; it felt like it would constantly drain the sanity of both herself and her companions. Su Li threw it away immediately.

The second drawing is quite interesting.

【GX Virus Disguised Pendant】

[Iron Grade]

[GX Virus Imposter: Causes the wearer to be mistaken for an ally by mindless zombies. Side effect: Flesh Craving: You will develop a craving for human flesh.]

Su Li glanced at the materials: 2 gold ingots, 10 GX zombie virus crystals, and some zombie flesh.

They had gathered all the materials. After thinking for a moment, Su Li learned how to make the pendant and then shared the blueprint with her teammates.

"Let's go back first and make some pendants."

Su Li considered that they might be entering narrow underground terrain next, which was most vulnerable to large numbers of enemies. Without enough room to maneuver, they could be worn down and killed. And as everyone knows, zombies are best at fighting hordes of zombies.

Make six of these pendants, and if you encounter a zombie horde, you can use them to fight your way out.

Back on the train, after waiting a while, I finished making all the props.

The maker, of course, is Sun Keke, a skilled craftsman in the team.

Wearing a mask, Sun Keke took out her materials and began making the pendant under the system's guidance.

Meanwhile, Song Mingyu and Su Li observed the entire production process from the sidelines.

Sun Lili asked, puzzled, "Are you also planning to learn craftsmanship?"

"What are you thinking about?" Su Li rolled her eyes at her. "Use your brain, don't just tremble all day. This thing can mislead zombies. Understanding the principle behind it will be of great benefit to our next operation."

The ability to be treated as a companion by zombies would be considered a pretty good cheat code in other post-apocalyptic novels.

"However, the development of this kind of cheat ability in novels is quite interesting." Su Li recalled the various novels she had read before and revealed a slightly mischievous smile. "At the beginning, this kind of cheat ability was to solve the problem of the protagonist not having the ability to resist the virus and help the protagonist accumulate various resources in the apocalypse. But later, someone had a brilliant idea: hey, if the zombies won't bite me, then I can break them! After breaking them, the zombies suddenly come to life."

Song Mingyu rolled her eyes. "I can't understand it."
