The flames immediately engulfed a large area of zombies, and within half an hour, all the zombies in the hall were cleared.
Xu Qian stood up and applauded, "Sister Yanyun, you're amazing."
The top ten powerhouses of the apocalypse were indeed different from others.
Xie Yanyun panted and waved her hand, "What's so amazing? It's all from chopping with a kitchen knife a lot."
"Even if it's a kitchen knife, you've surpassed many people."
Xie Yanyun's face turned slightly red. "Don't praise me anymore, you're making me embarrassed."
"First, dig out the zombie crystal cores, absorb them, and quickly upgrade your ability to level two."
Xie Yanyun was stunned and asked in surprise, "What are zombie crystal cores?"
"..."
Xu Qian looked at Xie Yanyun strangely.
"Don't you know where zombie crystal cores are? How did your ability upgrade?"
Her ability wasn't like Lily's small fireball; her ability could set a large area of zombies on fire with a sweep, and it seemed like she was close to level two.
"...I haven't upgraded, it's always been like this."
Xu Qian was speechless. As expected, genius players were different; even without upgrading, their strength was still immense.
She squatted down, split open the skull of one of the zombies in front of her, and picked out a crystal core from the black and white brain matter, handing it to her.
"This is the crystal core. As long as you hold it in your hand and absorb it in large quantities, your ability will improve."
Xie Yanyun suddenly understood, and then her face showed pain.
"Then all the zombies I killed before... I lost out, didn't I?"
Thinking of how much she had lost, she didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately squatted down to dig for crystal cores.
Xu Qian couldn't help but purse her lips and smile. She stood up and asked, "Have you thought about what to name the base?"
Xie Yanyun's movements paused, and she said in a deep voice,
"Yes, I have. I want to call our collective Hope. We are people who have crawled out of the hardest places.
We want to bring hope to other women and let them know that there is a place for women to survive in the apocalypse."
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes slightly, a smile appearing on her lips.
"Hope Base, a good name."
Xie Yanyun chuckled, "I just came up with it myself."
Xu Qian asked, "Sister Yanyun, can you pick one or two people from your teammates to help you manage Hope Base? Do you think there's anyone you can trust?"
Relying only on her and Xie Yanyun to establish a base would be far from enough. The work in Hope Base would eventually need to be distributed.
Xie Yanyun straightened up excitedly.
"Yes, it's Yichun. She has a high education and was the CEO of our company before the apocalypse. She definitely has the ability."
Xu Qian frowned. She seemed to have heard the name Yichun many times. Was it that very beautiful woman?
Seeing Xu Qian's displeased expression, Xie Yanyun quickly explained,
"She's really amazing. When our company was in financial crisis, she saved it single-handedly."
Xu Qian's tone was light and cool, "Someone who can manage a company doesn't necessarily mean they can manage a base. Think carefully. If her abilities surpass yours, she might step over you in the future."
This was the truth; people respected the powerful. If a subordinate was more capable than their superior, they could easily be overthrown.
At that time, the boss's position could easily be lost.
Xie Yanyun narrowed her eyes and smiled, "It doesn't matter, Xiao Qian. What I care about are those women and children in distress. I don't care who becomes the leader."
Xu Qian felt a warmth in her heart, but being too kind in the apocalypse wouldn't end well.
"It's good that you understand. But I still hope you will be the leader of this base. You are the one I want to help."
Xie Yanyun was slightly stunned. "Why do you insist on supporting me to be the leader?"
