Staying here wasn't a long-term solution.
She had to find a survivor base, just like in the doomsday novels.
If she was lucky, she might even form a team to go out and gather supplies.
Su Ling looked at Lin Enxin, "Do you really want to join?"
Lin Enxin had thought her chances were slim, but to her surprise, Su Ling directly asked if she wanted to join. She looked up sharply, nodding vigorously.
"Alright," Su Ling pointed at the zombies behind the isolation barrier, "Time for your test."
"What test?" Lin Enxin was anxious, extremely anxious. Before Su Ling could finish, she blurted out, "What test?"
Su Ling didn't dwell on Lin Enxin's haste. She explained, "You need to hand over thirty crystal cores and kill one hundred zombies."
This was undoubtedly a huge challenge, but Lin Enxin accepted it. She looked at Su Ling, "Is there a time limit?"
"No, but we need to get back for dinner. You decide," Su Ling finished speaking, waiting for Lin Enxin's decision.
"Okay, wait for me," Lin Enxin didn't hesitate or drag her feet. She directly took out her iron bar from the bag of food and turned towards the zombie horde behind the isolation barrier.
"Sister—" Jiang Jiang was a little worried. He looked at Su Ling.
"Don't worry," Su Ling said and walked forward, "You guys continue collecting crystal cores, I'll collect supplies."
Whether Lin Enxin could join them depended on her strength and fate.
Su Ling both wanted and didn't want Lin Enxin to join them.
So, everything depended on Lin Enxin's performance.
After so long in the apocalypse, thirty crystal cores and one hundred zombies weren't too difficult a task.
As long as Lin Enxin could kill a hundred zombies as required, obtaining thirty crystal cores would be a sure thing.
Su Ling went from the first floor to the second and, as expected, saw Lin Enxin's progress.
The moment she saw the results, Su Ling was quite surprised.
But after a moment's thought, she understood.
For a delicate girl to survive in this apocalypse, it was impossible without some strength.
Su Ling went to the window and looked out. She saw that Lin Enxin was smart and wasn't confronting the zombies head-on. Instead, she was luring lone zombies to kill them.
Although not very efficient, she was still diligently killing zombies.
She was smart, learning from Su Ling and the others, killing zombies first and then collecting crystal cores.
Su Ling didn't continue looking outside. Instead, she began moving the vacuum-sealed food on the second floor into her space.
After she finished moving everything on the second floor and came downstairs, she held a lollipop and stood on the isolation barrier, watching Lin Enxin kill zombies.
Lin Enxin was quite violent. She used ice arrows and her iron bar in combination.
Ice arrows shot into the zombies' heads, and the iron bar directly and brutally smashed their skulls, giving her a bit of a violent girl vibe.
This was Lin Enxin's first time killing so many zombies. Initially, she handled it with ease, but gradually, as time wore on, she began to feel the strain and fatigue.
But she knew she was still a distance from the test's standard.
She was counting herself, still twenty-two short of a hundred.
Thinking of this, Lin Enxin gritted her teeth and continued to fight with all her might.
Her teacher had said that as long as there was still a breath left, keep fighting.
Finally, just as she was about to collapse, Lin Enxin finally reached her goal of one hundred zombies.
She stopped and hid among the zombie corpses to rest. After a brief respite, she picked up her iron bar and began smashing zombie heads.
Meanwhile, Sister Na and the others had arrived and thoughtfully erected a barrier to protect Lin Enxin, allowing her to focus on digging for crystal cores.
From the one hundred zombie corpses, Lin Enxin eventually dug out forty-eight crystal cores.
When she handed the bag of crystal cores of various colors to Su Ling, her clothes and face were already covered in dirt.
Looking at Su Ling standing on the isolation barrier, Lin Enxin panted slightly, "I passed the test."
