Su Hui, on the contrary, carefully examined the results of the synthesis.
Although his encounter with Harley Gwen was brief, he had no intention of erasing her will and turning her into a dubious 'character'.
In Su Hui's view, that Harley Quinn was nothing more than a boring doll.
Fortunately, according to the system's introduction, the synthesis is not a complete copy, but rather based on the actual [fitter] itself.
The system's capabilities lie more in selecting templates from the multidimensional universe to enhance the "fitters".
The reason why a candidate can become a candidate is because, deep in their soul or personality, they have a high degree of similarity or resonance with the template character.
The synthesis process will stimulate and enhance these traits, while instilling the knowledge and abilities of the template character, but will not erase the original core personality of the adaptee.
The synthesized form is essentially still Harley Gwen, but will become more beautiful, exhibiting behavior patterns and abilities closer to Harley Quinn, and will be absolutely loyal to him.
This result put Su Hui at ease, and he was completely free of any worries.
Just then, Harley's surprised voice rang out.
"Su Hui, look what I found!"
Harley's arms contained not only cookies, potato chips, bread, and bottled water, but more importantly, she also brought back a small induction cooker!
"This is great stuff! Where did you find it?" Su Hui's eyes lit up. Especially since, although the apocalypse has arrived, the power hasn't been completely cut off yet, and they can use this thing to eat hot food.
Not only that! With the system at his disposal, Su Hui can use it to synthesize even more useful items.
In this way, even in the apocalypse, they would not have to worry about eating hot food.
The quality of life will definitely be greatly improved.
"Not only is there an induction cooker, but also this! It seems that the original owner of that dormitory room was an overseas Chinese student, just like you."
Harley lifted the small pot on the induction cooker she was holding, revealing noodles, instant noodles and other food inside.
The sight of these familiar items lifted Su Hui's spirits considerably.
"Come on! Let's get something to eat. I'll make you some noodles!"
Su Hui immediately grabbed his things, disregarding the food shortage in the apocalypse, and found a dormitory with Harley to get busy.
Having experienced a drastic change and a terrifying night, all he wants now is to eat something good.
As steam rose from the noodles cooking in the small pot on the induction cooker, filling the air with a mouthwatering aroma, Harley stared intently, unable to resist swallowing hard.
To distract herself, Harley had to look at Su Hui and ask about their next plans.
"Su Hui, should we... leave here?"
Harley's voice was soft, and her tone was uncertain.
"Do you believe me?"
Su Hui did not answer, but instead looked directly into the other person's eyes and asked.
"Ok!"
Harley sat up straight upon hearing this, her blue eyes seeming to speak volumes: "Without you, I'd probably be dead like Stacy and the others. So you can rest assured!"
Su Hui nodded.
"In that case, let's not leave here for the time being."
Su Hui patiently explained to Harley, "The danger here is known, namely the Lickers that may appear at night. We know the weaknesses of these monsters and can find ways to avoid them. As for food in the dormitory, there is no shortage for the time being; it should be enough for at least a few days."
"So, next we need to clear out the zombies on the first floor, get used to the fight, and collect all the useful supplies to prepare."
While saying this.
Before Su Hui appeared the crafting recipes for Harley's two exclusive weapons.
【Item: "Goodnight" Baseball Bat (Fine)】
【Materials required: 5 metal blocks, 2 high-quality woods, 2 leathers, 5 source crystal particles】
【Item: "Sweet" Revolver (Fine) (Empty)】
【Materials required: 5 metal blocks, 2 high-quality woods, 1 alloy block, 1 small source crystal】
Su Hui has decided to complete the synthesis of Harley before leaving the dormitory building.
Make her my first official teammate!
15. Synthesis begins! [4k]
After Su Hui made his decision, the two ate and immediately got to work.
They removed the door panel from a dormitory room near the second-floor stairwell, moved in a few tables and chairs, and quickly built a makeshift defensive structure at the corner of the stairs.
From this vantage point, one can enjoy a commanding view and clearly observe the situation in the first-floor corridor, while also effectively preventing zombies from rushing up from below.
Su Hui stood on the platform behind the obstacle, while Harley stood on the stairs above the corner with a fire axe in her hand, just in time to attack the zombies on the stairs.
"Are you ready?"
Su Hui turned his head and asked a question.
Harley took a deep breath, tightened her grip on the fire axe, and nodded vigorously.
"Ok!"
Su Hui said no more, bent down to pick up a small stone that had fallen off the wall, and threw it forcefully towards the area where the zombies were most concentrated downstairs.
"Clap."
The pebble made a crisp sound as it landed.
"Ho ho..."
The zombies, who had been wandering aimlessly, seemed to have been switched on. They sluggishly turned their rotting heads and began to stagger in the direction of the sound.
Soon, a dozen zombies gathered at the bottom of the second-floor staircase, their gray and twisted faces looking up, letting out unconscious roars, and stretching out their rotting arms, trying to climb upwards.
Su Hui's eyes were cold, and he didn't make any unnecessary movements.
He spotted a zombie that had already extended half its body up the stairs and thrust his spear out like lightning!
"Pfft!"
The sharp spear tip pierced precisely through the zombie's rotting eye sockets and sank deep into its brainstem.
The zombie's body stiffened abruptly, then slumped down limply, tumbling down the stairs.
Kill 1 regular zombie and gain 10 experience points.
[Obtain Source Crystal Particles x1]
A system notification sounded in my mind.
Su Hui remained expressionless as he drew his spear, drawing out a stream of dark brown blood.
He didn't even look at the fallen zombie; his gaze was already locked on his next target.
"Pfft!"
Another spear thrust out, precise and efficient.
The second zombie fell.
The zombies downstairs seemed to be mindless targets, drawn by the sound, and surged toward the stairwell, only to be stabbed one by one by Su Hui from his high vantage point, as if being called out by name.
His movements became faster and more skillful.
Harley stood aside, watching Su Hui slaughter the zombies with simple efficiency. Occasionally, a few zombies would break through Su Hui's "roll call" and climb up the obstacles using their hands and feet.
Harley would then follow Su Hui's instructions, grit her teeth, swing the fire axe, and chop down fiercely!
"boom!"
"Crack!"
The axe blade struck the zombie's head or limbs with a dull thud.
At first, she would close her eyes or move distortedly due to fear and nausea.
But under the influence of Su Hui's steady and efficient killing rhythm, she gradually overcame her inner discomfort.
Her movements became increasingly steady, and her gaze became increasingly resolute.
Although I still feel afraid, I feel more numb and determined to survive.
Time passed in monotonous and bloody carnage.
The number of zombies in the first-floor corridor is decreasing at a visible rate.
Su Hui's movements were like those of a precise machine, his spear thrusting out and retracting repeatedly, taking away one rotting life after another.
He was exhausted; fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his breathing was somewhat rapid.
But his eyes remained sharp, and his movements were perfectly natural.
Whenever he felt tired, Su Hui would use one attribute point to increase his physique.
Using this method, Su Hui never felt tired.
He continued to brandish his spear.
Finally, when the last zombie was pinned to the stairs by his spear, the entire first-floor corridor fell completely silent.
All that remained were heavy breathing and the scattered corpses on the ground.
[Level Up! Current Level: 5 (50/500)]
[Gained 3 free attribute points]
[All attributes +1]
I leveled up twice in a row and even received a +1 bonus to all attributes for reaching level 5 for the first time!
At this point, Su Hui's constitution reached 20, and the rest was added to agility, which reached 16 points!
"it's over……"
Harley dropped the blood-stained fire axe from her hand, leaned against the wall as if exhausted, and gasped for breath.
Her face and body were splattered with dark brown bloodstains, and her complexion was pale, but her eyes were unusually bright.
Killing several zombies with her own hands gave her an unprecedented shock and a clearer understanding of this apocalypse.
"Take a break, then go gather supplies."
Su Hui leaned the spear against the wall, his voice steady.
He walked over to Harley and handed her a bottle of mineral water.
Harley took the water and drank several large gulps. The icy liquid flowed down her throat, calming her down a little.
After a short rest, the two began to clean up the battlefield and moved all the useful supplies they could find on the first floor to their chosen temporary base on the second floor.
The vending machine was emptied of all its snacks and drinks.
Leftover food, water, medicine, lighters, batteries, and other items from each dormitory were collected one by one.
Su Hui also used the [Scan] function to search for the materials needed to synthesize Harley's exclusive weapon in the dormitory building.
The metal pieces mainly came from damaged iron bed frames, table and chair legs, metal door handles, etc.
High-quality timber comes from some solid wood furniture.
Leather was hard to find, so in the end, it was peeled off from several discarded leather backpacks and jackets.
As for the alloy blocks, Su Hui disassembled Chad's Glock pistol and extracted the key components to barely gather enough.
【Item: "Goodnight" Baseball Bat (Fine)】
[Required Materials: 5 Metal Blocks (Collected), 2 High-Quality Woods (Collected), 2 Leathers (Collected), 5 Source Crystal Particles (Collected)]
【Item: "Sweet" Revolver (Fine) (Empty)】
[Required Materials: 5 Metal Blocks (All Collected), 2 High-Quality Woods (All Collected), 1 Alloy Block (All Collected), 1 Small Source Crystal (All Collected)]
The materials are basically complete; the only missing piece is a [Source Crystal (Large)] to synthesize the Harley Quinn template itself.
Ten source crystal particles can be synthesized into one source crystal (small).
It takes 10 small source crystals to synthesize 1 large source crystal.
