Not long after, they wrapped up the fight, wiping out the zombie horde that had been drawn to the supermarket. It took some time to collect the crystal cores from the corpses, but they weren't about to leave them behind.
If others stumbled upon them, it would only be handing over free profit. Besides, now that crystal cores had become a form of currency, they had far more value than just being used to grow stronger.
With that in mind, Sparrow and his team spent another two hours clearing the area and harvesting every last core before finally driving out of the supermarket. Since they were already on the outskirts of the city, it didn't take long before they reached the highway, and from there, the journey became far smoother and less taxing.
From time to time, a few zombies wandered onto the road, but Sparrow simply ran them over without a second thought.
