The End of the World: Crystal Core Awakening

In the winter of 2073, global warming triggered large-scale melting of the permafrost in the Arctic and Antarctic. Charon bacteria, which had been frozen for thousands of years, poured into the ocean with meltwater, were ingested by fish schools, and entered human society through the global supply chain. Humans who eat contaminated seafood will be transformed into mindless zombies within 12 hours - defense, attack power, and hearing are all increased by 3 times. They feed on living creatures and spread bacteria through body fluids. After killing creatures, they will continue to grow and even awaken wisdom and tactical abilities in the later stage.​ Li Xiaoran, an 18-year-old senior high school student, witnessed his father fighting to the death with the walking zombies to protect his family when a crisis broke out in Canglan City. Before his death, his father killed a walking corpse and exploded a light blue crystal core, and asked Li Xiaoran to swallow it in order to survive. After eating the crystal core, Li Xiaoran awakened his skills After that, Li Xiaoran took his mother to avoid walking corpses, and accidentally met Xiao Chen Feng (technical geek, good at equipment modification) and medical student Su Yue. The three formed a team to explore supplies and hunt down walking corpses. They gradually discovered the rules of crystal cores: different colors of crystal cores correspond to different attributes (skills). After eating, they can randomly increase basic values (strength, stamina, agility, etc.) And acquire skills. They have experienced the struggle for supplies by human forces (such as the conflict with the gangster King Tiger Squad), witnessed the hierarchical differentiation and distortion of human nature in the safe zone, and encountered "mutated zombies" that have doubled in size, "intelligent zombies" that know how to cooperate, and can even command the zombies.
