The arrival of Ji Yao, Wang Hehe, and Su Fenghe brought outside news to the blocked team.\n
With Gongsun Jingâs healing ability, the drugs on the three peopleâs system were quickly solved.\n
Wang Hehe woke up and burst into tears with Hou Ying, and Meng Hanghai, who is closely following Hou Ying, kept looking at him curiously. In fact, when they first met Wang Hehe, Jiang Tao and others were very surprisedâbecause Hou Ying worried about him like taking care of a child without self-care ability, which made them think that his nephew was about the same age as Meng Hanghai. Unexpectedly, he was a few years younger than Hou Ying.\n
But watching him crying loudly at this moment, they somewhat understood why Hou Ying was like this.\n
This is clearly a âgiant babyâ.\n</ins>\n\nKnowing more about the situation, Ji Yao, after Su Fenghe talked about his escape experience in Kangcheng and the basic situation of Yecheng Refuge, added, âThe inner city of Yecheng has been maintaining basic radio communication, so I know something about the outside news. The zombie virus has spread all over the world, before Xiaohe and I were caught, China had been fully infected. The capitalâs response is the fastest, and a rescue base for survivors was established, named the Yellow River base. At that time, there were about three million survivors.â\n
âThe abilities the Yellow River base had issued are speed and strength abilities; auditory and visual; the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and natural abilities such as wind, thunder, and lightning. In addition, there is a very special mental ability, although you canât kill zombies that have no thoughts, you can control the ability users for your own use. There are also some very rare abilities, for example, the Yellow River base has discovered an ability user that can dissolve anything they touch. There should be other abilities that havenât been discovered or that I didnât have time to know.â\n
âThey also made a numerical ranking of ability users. Currently, there are level 1 and a small number of level 2 ability users that made a breakthrough. Judging from the inevitable evolution of the abilities, there are bound to be a lot of level 2 ability users in the future, and then there will be third level abilities, which will continue to progress.â\n
The most common is the five-element ability, there are many ability users like Su Fengheâs strength ability, and Ji Yao himself is a rare wind ability.\n
They are currently the most common level 1 ability users.\n
When asked about what Yechengâs management wanted to do to them, Ji Yao said with a gloomy face, âIâm not sure. It was Xiaohe who dreamed that they were experimenting with the ability users, even taking out their blood for transfusion, even going so far as eating their flesh and blood like food.â\n
Later, he found that the death rate of some ability users in the city was too high when they killed zombies, so he went to inquire about the situation with a hearing ability user he got closer to after the end of the world, and found out the ugly truth!\n
âAt first, some ability users who went out of the city to clean up zombies discovered that after the zombies eat the ability usersâ flesh and blood, their abilities would skyrocket, but eating ordinary peopleâs has no such effect. You may not know, most of Yechengâs managers only rely on the grain in their hands to get managerial powers, all of them and their relatives donât have abilities. So when they heard the news, they took evil actions against the ability users and wanted to study the zombiesâ method of seizing their abilities for themselvesâŚâ\n
Everyone, even Su Fenghe, who almost became a victim, was so shocked by the truth they couldnât speak. He just discovered that those abilities users never came back after going out so he was wary and concealed his abilities. He didnât expect the truth to be like this.\n
But there was no condemnation, no cynical criticism, only chilled by this, but theyâre not surprised by their actions at all.\n</ins>\n\nThis is a deep-rooted bad nature of human beings, in this apocalypse where a social system of ability users is about to be formed, they can do cruel things for their lives or for their rights. Now in this world, isnât human lives the most worthless?\n
Ji Yao slowed down then continued, âThey did try blood transfusion, raw⌠and eat, but it didnât work. So they caught single-line ability users, such as fire and earth type which had more attack powers, to experiment on.â\n
âThen the management began to recruit talents in the name of the various forces. I didnât want to be arrested but I was still caught. Later, in order to save his life, the person with hearing ability revealed to the people above that Xiaohe had a special ability⌠Those people are more interested in Xiaoheâs clairvoyance ability, so they caught Xiaohe too.â\n
Wang Hehe was obviously frightened, he didnât want to recall what happened in those few days, and hugged Hou Ying tightly to gain a sense of security.\n
Hou Ying comforted him sadly.\n
This child is usually very arrogant, but because he is a genius child, he skipped grades too much when he was studying so he was much younger than his classmates. After graduation, he went to graduate school for further studies. The environment is simple so he is very simple. Furthermore, although his sister, brother-in-law, and his parents died in the accident together, with his dedicated care over the years, Wang Hehe has not suffered much and does not understand the world. How can he not be frightened when he suddenly encounters such a thing?\n
Hearing such bad things, everyone felt a little heavy. The original excitement of sharing a major discovery also returned to calm.\n
Liu Zhan opened a high-end tea packaging box, revealing many crystalline round objects with high transparency, bright colors, uniformed shapes, and different sizes. Before Jiang Tao could explain, Hou Ying, who had been busy pacifying Wang Hehe, abruptly stood up and wondered, âThere is energy in these things?! Where did it come from? Is it because of this that the zombiesâ abilities evolved?â\n
Jiang Tao was surprised, âHow did you know?â\n
Liu Zhan narrowed his eyes, âCan Brother Hou feel the energy contained in them?â\n</ins>\n\nHou Ying looked around. Li Xuanyuan and Ji Yao, who were in contact with it for the first time, had doubts in their eyes. Itâs obvious that they didnât find out whatâs unusual with these things. And listening to Liu Zhanâs tone, they canât feel the energy in the crystal even if they already know its mystery, he was the only one who discovered it.\n
Now Hou Ying canât figure it out, âNo, I just feel that they have what I need and theyâre very attractive to me. Are you not?â\n
Their expressions gave Hou Ying a consistent negative answer.\n
Gongsun Jing said, âDonât think about it, letâs talk about this first.â\n
Liu Zhan first discovered these crystal nuclei, so he introduced them to Hou Ying, âGongsun named them crystal nucleus. First of all, Iâll talk about their originâthey are all crystals dug up from the heads of zombies.â\n
âA few days ago, I accidentally discovered that after the zombies were killed by us, nearby zombies would swarm up, scrambling to eat the same kind of corpses and even the bones would not be left, until only these crystal nuclei were left. At this time, the zombies are not looting. Later, I observed that zombies can perceive the energy inside, but only the zombies with the same ability attribute as the crystal nucleus will compete for them and directly swallow them. After swallowing, their abilities will immediately soar, and then stabilize at a stronger level.â \n
With that said, Liu Zhan looked at Hou Ying somewhat meaningfully.\n
Everyone can see his doubts, but even Hou Ying doesnât feel offended. Instead, the keen Wang Hehe immediately jumped up and asked loudly, âWhat do you mean?! Do you suspect that my old uncle is a zombie?!â\n
Several people were startled by his sudden outburst, and Liu Zhan was a little stunnedâthe weeping little tearful man suddenly became a little fiery man, this contrast really caught people off guard.\n
Hou Ying could not laugh or cry consoling him, âBe good, donât be angry. He just couldnât figure it out, he didnât mean anything else.â\n
Wang Hehe didnât comply, his voice didnât decrease at all, and roared, âI hate the way he looks at you, he doesnât have good intentions! Old uncle, donât believe him, donât be friends with him.â\n
Hou Ying was embarrassed. Several people saw his delicate white face and angry expression, which was similar to Hou Ying but were several times more refined, and they were immediately amused. Gongsun Jing laughed the loudest, Liu Zhanâs crowâs feet were all squeezed out of the corner of his eye, his attitude was still correct, and he said sincerely, âIâm sorry, Iâm not targeting Brother Hou, just curious.â\n
Wang Hehe was forced to sit down by Hou Ying, with a stubborn expression of âbaby is not happy, baby does not accept your apologyâ.\n
Hou Ying has no choice but to take this precious nephew, so he had to give Liu Zhan an apologetic look.\n
The latter didnât care, and continued with a smile, âAfter discovering this, we figured out how to get a few zombiesâ crystal nuclei. By the way, only the heads of zombies with abilities have crystal nuclei. Zombies are more obsessed with crystal nuclei that have the same attributes than human beings. We tried several methods and found that only metal products can hide the crystal nuclei from being discovered by zombies. These are the zombie nuclei weâve dug up in the past two days, a total of 27. Although there are some findings, it is not clear whether we can absorb them, how to absorb them, and whether there is any harm.â\n</ins>\n\nHe arranged the crystal nuclei in the iron tea box on the table according to the size, color and quantity.\n
He explained that these nuclei should be put away soon, otherwise they would be besieged by zombies, so Liu Zhan made a long story short, âThe size of the zombie nucleus represents the level of the zombieâs ability. The higher the ability, the larger the level. Now we find that there are three sizes here, referring to the ability division system of the Yellow River Base, which means third-level ability zombies have already appeared.â \n
The only third-level crystal nucleus is the crystal nucleus of an earth-ability zombie. After accidentally bumping into it, they discovered that theyâd completely lose so they exploded with the last grenade to obtain the crystal core.\n
This is really not good news, but Liu Zhan did not stop, and then said, âWhat we know is that the transparent color is the five-element ability zombie nucleus, which can be absorbed by the zombies with gold, wood, water, fire, and earth abilities. The orange one is the speed ability zombie, the camel-colored<sup>1</sup> one is the power zombie; the crystal cores of the hearing zombies and olfactory zombies are all eye-catching bright red, this light blue one should now be a wind ability zombie. The remaining two rare pure white and earthy yellow first-order zombie nuclei but we donât know what attributes they have.â \n
After he said their different functions, Gongsun Jing helped to put it away, put the last two crystal nuclei, and immediately closed the lid.\n
Hou Ying and Qiao Daye both heard the screaming of the zombies outside immediately decreasing, no longer so frantic. At the same time, Hou Ying no longer felt the energy in the crystal nuclei. He explained the situation and thought about it, âOr, you take out one crystal nucleus of the first-level hearing zombie and let me feel it?â\n
Before Liu Zhan could speak, Gongsun Jing generously took out a red nucleus the size of two knuckles and handed it to Hou Ying.\n
Hou Ying took it, held it in the palm of his hand, spread his hand, and said what he felt, âI think the closer you get, the stronger your energy perceptionâ!â\n
The expressions of several people are exactly the same as Hou Ying, astonished!\n
The red color of the crystal nucleus lying in Hou Yingâs hand suddenly disappeared, the original luster also disappeared, turning into a crystal similar to a fake plastic diamond. Then, Hou Ying said, ââŚThe energy inside has disappeared.â\n</ins>\n\n\n<hr class="wp-block-separator">\n\n
Translatorâs Note:\n
<ol> I thought it was caramel-colored but no, itâs really camel-colored and Iâm like, what the heck??</ol>\nSo I run out of chapters for Lei Feng System so thereâs no update for today⌠but I will try to update next week if my schedule allows me to⌠but if I canât, then Iâll just do a double update for that story.\n\n\n\n\n<hr class="wp-block-separator">
