The second batch of zombies, they patiently āfedā for a month before they began to harvest the results. This time, all of them were dispatched, each locked on the target and began to kill zombies and dig for crystal nuclei.\n
In the team, Wang Hehe and Hou Yingās combat effectiveness are undoubtedly the worst.\n
Hou Ying is only slightly better than Wang Hehe, but itās precisely because he has golden fingers that zombies canāt smell him that he does not attack the zombieās head with machinery like Wang Hehe, but has to cooperate with Li Xuanyuan to extract the zombie crystal nuclei. He took a dagger to attack the zombies in close proximity. Unexpectedly, he stabbed the zombie into the head and dug out the crystal nucleus accurately. He also wore a special iron glove in his right hand to prevent the crystal nucleus from being absorbed by him when he got it, but thereās no way to judge the purity and content of the crystal nucleus energy.\n
It can be said that among all the team, his attack method is the most savage, primitive, and laborious.\n
Well, because Meng Hanghaiās control of his ability isnāt stable yet, he just watches the battle from the sidelines, not counting the way heās cutting bodies.\n</ins>\n\nIt took them eight hours during the day to harvest 61 crystal nuclei. They hadnāt fought with the zombies in a long time, and if they didnāt take the opportunity to train, they would probably lose touch<sup>1</sup>. Therefore, they didnāt rush to kill the zombies with a single blow, but each fought with their own targets and gained proficiency with their abilities. They didnāt stop until itās almost dark, making the zombies relieved.\n
Among the 61 crystal nuclei, there are three level 3 five-element transparent crystals, one level 3 speed orange crystal, and one level 3 five-senses red crystal. There are 55 level 2 zombie crystal nuclei left, the remaining one is a pure white crystal nucleus with only level 1 unknown attribute.\n
Everyone is shocked when they see this pure white crystal nucleus.\n
There is no other reason. In order to improve the cultivation efficiency of zombie crystal nuclei, they used the crystal nucleus corresponding to their attribute to attract the ability zombies, and then expelled other ability and ordinary zombies from the test area. Therefore, zombie crystal nuclei produced by this batch should be the ones with determined attributes that they can absorb. They didnāt know when a zombie with an ability they didnāt know what vest itās wearing<sup>2</sup> was mixed in.\n
Gongsun Jing soon thought of the pure white crystal nucleus with unknown attributes they had picked up first, then took it out of the special iron box. She recalled the scene of obtaining this zombie nucleus. It seemed that the zombie with this crystal nucleus made the zombie group very irritable. Jiang Tao and the others saw something wrong in the telescope, so they shot it with a pistol.\n
Everyone couldnāt help but look at Hou Ying who dug out this crystal core from the zombieās head. The latter thought for a while and said, āI didnāt feel that zombie had an ability, but I saw him yelling violently. I didnāt know what he was excited about, so I gave him a good time<sup>3</sup>.āĀ \n
He didnāt expect to actually dig a crystal nucleus.\n
āYou canāt even feel his ability?ā Liu Zhan is interested. He pinched the zombie nucleus, looked at it left and right, then touched his chin and said, āIs it because the zombieās level is too low that you canāt feel his attack?ā\n
Gongsun Jing said, āIf he launches an attack, no matter how weak it is, there couldnāt be any movement at all. Otherwise, we have two now, Brother Hou, would you like to have a try?ā\n
Hou Ying thought so, so he took the crystal nucleus in his hand.\n</ins>\n\nBut a surprising scene happened!\n
This tiny level 1 crystal nucleus was not absorbed by Hou Ying in the blink of an eye as they originally thought. After three seconds in Hou Yingās palm, the pure white color was still very pure.\n
Everyone was surprised. Liu Zhan said, āHow could this happen? You canāt absorb the nucleus, Brother Hou?ā\n
Originally, they all believed that there was no ability nucleus in the world that Hou Ying could not absorb. Could it be that they had generalized it before?\n
Li Xuanyuan watched Hou Ying frown while looking at the crystal nucleus in his hand without speaking. He couldnāt help but tentatively ask, āCould it be that energy absorption is slow?ā\n
Hou Ying was taken aback, looked at Li Xuanyuan, then nodded with a smile, āWell, I am absorbing it, but it feels very slow and delicate, andā¦ how to say, it seems that this kind of energy is very gentle and makes me very energetic. I suspect it might be the nucleus of the psychic zombie.ā\n
āReally?!ā\n
While others were still astounded, Wang Hehe had already exclaimed in surprise.\n
Hou Ying appeased his nephew, āIāll give you a try when uncleās done.ā\n
Wang Hehe nodded wildly. He has long been envious of his teammates who can absorb the energy of the crystal nucleus through his uncle and make sudden progress. Unfortunately, he has never met a crystal nucleus that matches the attribute of his ability, so he can only stare. Now, itās finally his turn!\n</ins>\n\nIt took Hou Ying more than an hour to absorb this small level 1 crystal nucleus before he could completely absorb itāthis time is enough for him to absorb two level 3 crystal nuclei!\n
But this crystal nucleus undoubtedly brought them surprises, it really is a psychic zombie crystal nucleus and can be absorbed by Wang Hehe!\n
Wang Hehe fell asleep while absorbing it. Everyone can tell that the energy of this pure white nucleus is very gentle, as Hou Ying said. Wang Heheās absorption speed is slower than Hou Yingās. He hadnāt woken up all night. Hou Ying feels that the absorption hasnāt been interrupted, so he simply lies down with him.\n
Pity the other people, under the combined poison of Meng Hanghai and Gongsun Jing, who had no progress in their craftsmanship, turned their heads silently and each went to forage on the second heavy truck full of food.\n
It wasnāt until noon that Wang Hehe woke up refreshed. Heās more obsessed with the energy of the crystal nucleus than others because the absorption process was so comfortable that it was like returning to his motherās womb. God knows, he hasnāt had a good nightās sleep since he had the ability of clairvoyance!\n
He canāt wait to ask his old uncle to absorb the rest of the crystal nucleus. Hou Ying quietly placates his mind, āThe number of psychic zombies is too small, we have to keep them as bait to attract other psychic zombies. It canāt be used.ā\n
Wang Hehe then thought, between a pure white crystal nucleus and countless pure white crystal nuclei, then happily agreed. He was like a happy little goblin for the whole day, completely leaving his high cold indifference<sup>4</sup> behind, humming while walking.\n
This made Meng Hanghai, who lost his last fellow sufferer<sup>5</sup>, heartbroken.\n
Now he is the only one left in the team who doesnāt know what his abilities are, let alone find zombies with the same attributes. However, fortunately, the childās heart is as broad as the sea. He puffed his mouth and was upset for a while, but then cheered up and followed Qiao Daye to continue daily training.\n
That night, after a full meal, everyone gathered around the fire for a long-lost discussion.\n
The team has been staying at the fifth stop for too long. The level 3 and level 2 zombies they got in the zombie test field this month are enough for the whole team to use for a period of time. They discussed cleaning up the zombies near the fifth stop, collecting materials, and setting off again.\n
Jiang Tao, who was anxious to return to the army base, naturally agreed.\n
After confirming the plan for the next step, Hou Ying reiterated the old saying, āItās still the matter of absorbing the crystal nucleus by yourself. Except that you remember to study when you are free, I havenāt seen any of you bothering about it these days. It canāt go on like this. You have all seen the speed at which I absorb the psychic nuclei. If there are level 4 or higher zombie nuclei in the future, my absorption speed will only be slower. If all of your abilities run out of energy after a battle, it will take too long for me to replenish you, increasing a lot of uncertain risks.ā\n
Looking at their expressions, Hou Ying knew that these guys who were able to muddle along had really forgotten about absorbing the nuclei by themselves during this period of time.\n
He thought for a while and said, āIt should be done sooner rather than later, but according to our current habits, you really donāt have enough time. Otherwise, in the future, we will implement the method of two people staying behind in the daytime. Using the rotation method, one person is responsible for being vigilant, and the other person will focus on thinking about the method of nucleus absorption without any distractions until we find a way to absorb it. What do you think?ā\n</ins>\n\nThe idle Qiao Daye canāt help but say, āBrother Hou, donāt have to be so troublesome. Anyway, Ah Zhan is very interested in studying this. Itās better to let him take full charge of itāāĀ \n
āNo!ā Before Hou Ying spoke, Liu Zhan was the first to object, āLetās not talk about whether I can find a way to absorb it, but what if the method of absorbing the crystal nucleus is different for each person with different attributes? At that time, the method I have researched will not even be of reference to you, then what should we do?ā\n
Hou Ying nodded and said, āYes, and this matter requires brainstorming. Ah Zhan also needs training. We canāt all put the pressure of finding a way on him and take up his time.ā\n
Qiao Daye knew that he had taken it for granted and was selfish just now, so he quickly said before everyone agreed, āI listen to Brother Hou! Ah Zhan is right! I will definitely go all out to complete the task!ā\n
Everyone is amused by him.\n
Everything seemed to be going very well, but what they didnāt expect was that an unexpected change happened that night which disrupted their plans!\n
Li Xuanyuan, whoās guarding in the middle of the night, straightened up as soon as the zombies roared. Before he pressed the alarm bell leading to the lounge room on the second floor, both Qiao Daye and Hou Ying, who were sensitive to hearing, suddenly woke up. In the next second, the ear-piercing alarm bell awakened the other people from their sleep in an instant.\n
āWhatās going on?!ā\n
Jiang Tao was shocked. He opened the door of the tarpaulin, and suddenly a stream of heat came from outside!\n
He said in shock, āIs there a volcano erupting nearby?! Lao Er, take a look!ā\n</ins>\n\nQiao Daye first triggered his speed ability and ran out, joining Li Xuanyuan on the second floor. In such an instant, sweat immediately soaked his back. When Jiang Tao reminded him, he immediately used his ability to see far, but it was strange that he didnāt even see a flake in the dark.\n
Immediately afterward, Hou Ying supported Wang Hehe and Meng Hanghai, who were so dizzy and weak, and shouted, āGongsun! See whatās wrong with the two children! Brother Tao and Lao Su, quickly power up the air conditioner and turn it on! Yaojiā¦ Damn it, why are you so useless! Ah Zhan, go get the anti-heat medicine and cooling ointment. Xuanyuan, come back first and open the rain cover to let in air.ā\n
Jiang Tao, who had been in the army for more than ten years and had hardly ever been in the air-conditioned room, suddenly remembered that they still had a magical air conditioner. He quickly took off his long sleeve clothes and jumped down the second floor with his torso bared to carry the air conditioner back to the container and plug it in the power source. Everyone responded. Li Xuanyuan rolled up the awning cloth on the side with a vine, then drove a vine to take the temperature sensor he had placed on the driverās seat.\n
Originally, itās because of the abnormally cold weather these few days that he kept an eye on it. Unexpectedly, the temperature didnāt go through the process of warming up. Instead, it suddenly became hot!\n
When he saw the temperature on the thermometer, his face instantly became worseā38Ā°C.\n
Only at this time did they know that in the last days, the plight they faced wasnāt only zombies and peopleās hearts, but also a harsh living environment!\n\n
