Chapter 461 Zombie Crystal Cores

Fidighed

They didn’t dare to imagine what would have happened to Heningford Base without Robin and her team. The base might not have survived at all.

“Ms. Neel, you and your team are our heroes!”

“You’re our savior! You saved all of us!”

Everyone was exhausted beyond belief, but the thrill of surviving had filled them with energy.

They had thought there was no way out, only for hope to appear when they least expected it.

If not for the situation they were in, they might have lifted Robin and her team onto their shoulders and tossed them into the air.

Langston hurried over, his face glowing with excitement. “Ms. Neel, I can’t thank you enough. Without your help, I can’t even imagine what would have happened today!”

Robin smiled. “You deserve some credit too, Commander Calloway. You trusted me enough to put me in full command. That’s why we were able to win.”

Langston couldn’t help feeling emotional at her words.

That had been the best decision he had ever made.

“No matter what, we still have to thank you,” he said sincerely. “Everyone should get some rest today. Tonight, we’ll hold a huge victory feast to celebrate surviving the horde and properly thank Ms. Neel and her team!”

The moment he finished speaking, everyone around them burst into cheers.

Ever since the apocalypse began, they had spent every day worrying about how to survive and where to find supplies.

A victory feast. The words felt almost foreign now.

It felt like forever since anyone had used that term.

Hearing it now, they suddenly realized that the apocalypse had only begun a few months ago.

It hadn’t even been a year.

Yet, it felt as though an entire century had passed.

Amid the cheering, however, Robin shook her head. “I’m afraid we can’t do that yet.”

Langston froze. “Why not?”

“I mean that we can’t rest yet,” Robin explained. “There are too many zombie corpses outside. We need to deal with them as soon as possible. This is the apocalypse–bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms can spread incredibly fast. If we leave that many corpses piled up outside the base, they could cause an

outbreak.

Prushed

She continued, “Besides, we don’t know whether there are more zombies nearby. Those corpses reek of blood. It’ll be even worse if the smell attracts something else.”

Her words quickly brought everyone back to reality.

They had barely survived, and they couldn’t afford to bring another disaster down on themselves.

“But… there are so many of them,” Langston said. “How are we supposed to get rid of them all?”

Robin asked, “Have you collected all the crystal cores from the zombies?”

A man standing beside Langston answered, “We’ve collected some, but we haven’t had time to get all of them…”

“Then let’s start by collecting the crystal cores,” Robin said.

She thought for a moment, then said, “Commander Calloway, how about we make a deal?”

Langston’s eyes lit up. “What kind of deal?”

By now, they were certain that Robin had plenty of valuable resources.

If they could work out some kind of partnership with her, it would only benefit them.

“I want all the crystal cores from the zombies out there,” Robin said.

Langston paused. “The zombie crystal cores?”

They had always collected them out of habit, but no one knew exactly what they were supposed to do with them.

There had been rumors that people could swallow them whole.

However, the thought of eating something dug out of a zombie’s brain was enough to make most people

sick.

Besides, the same rumors claimed that while swallowing a crystal core could greatly increase a person’s strength, the side effects were terrifying. One wrong move, and they could turn into a zombie.
