The Rebirth of the Last Days and Return to [Fang] Hao

The couple took a dumpling and drove deep into the city. The bustling metropolis of the past was a shadow of depression and despair.

Sparsely falling rain water washed the place day by day, but did not bring any vitality with it. On the contrary, it appeared darker, damp, cold, and gloomy under the lead gray sky.

Not long after zombies appeared, the buildings in the urban area were damaged to varying degrees in battle after battle. Nowadays, the continuous rain has left these buildings loose, fragile, and dilapidated.

Driving on the road, the two of them could see ruined buildings on both sides of the street. They seemed weak; as if they would be blown down by strong winds.

“It seems like many buildings had corners cut during construction.” Fang Hao sighed when he saw at least half of an old supermarket had collapsed.

“Things that can be made in three to five months, don’t expect them to last for thirty to fifty years.” He Zizhong smiled, but suddenly his expression condensed. “Get ready, let’s find a sturdier place to deal with the things following behind.

“Okay.”

The two have entered the city for a while. After a certain number of zombies following behind have accumulated, they will a relatively safe place to clear away some of them.

First, to exercise their skills. Second, to gain those crystal cores required by the base. Third, to clean up and reduce the number of zombies as much as possible.

The two have long cooperated with each other, so naturally there is no need to say anything more. They got off the car, grabbed their weapons, and rushed in after the first zombies arrived.

This is still on the outskirts of the city, but the shadows of second-level zombies have gradually appeared among the crowd.

They are now fighting zombies to accumulate some crystal nuclei for use after returning to the base. Naturally, they will not directly throw zombies into the space and allow the space to directly absorb the crystal nuclei after returning to the base.

After the two or three hundred zombies were cleaned up, the two people dug one at a time for crystal nuclei.

“It’s really troublesome…” Fang Hao complained in a low voice, and then smiled at He Zizhong next to him. “I didn’t think so before, but now I have to dig one by one, and it’s very tiring.”

“Of course, there was Samsara people helping before. We only needed to concentrate on dealing with the high-level zombies, so it was nothing like this.” He Zizhong couldn’t help but chuckle. Along the way, he used his elbow to push the floating ball beside him. “Aside from eating high-level crystal nuclei, what else can you do?”

Tuanzi twisted its fat body and floated around mama. It would not take the initiative to say that it was actually able to directly help “suck” out crystal nuclei! If the unscrupulous papa knows about it, he will definitely abuse group workers again!

The unscrupulous Tuanzi twisted and turned. When there are zombies on the ground, it will not deliberately jump to the ground to touch dirty things. Wandering to the side of the road, it suddenly found something creeping on the ground? This shape, this up and down movement, this posture – mutant plants!!

Tuanzi was immediately excited. Having tasted the crystal nuclei of those mutant plants a few times before, it was really a big~~~ tonic!

There is still a big difference between mutant plant nuclei and those found in zombies. The ones in plants are not divided into levels like zombies. As long as the energy contained in the plant is sufficient, a core will form. The only difference is only the size. As long as someone eats one, the energy will definitely explode! It is easier to absorb than a level 3 zombie crystal nucleus, and the taste is smooth and delicious!

The two originally round eyes grew wider as it watched. Tuanzi flew towards the vine with a whoosh sound. This kind of thing is not at all dangerous for it, and it has no lethality. But Tuanzi forgot one thing… it has no lethality against plants either.

High defense, slippery to touch, gluttonous, and lazy. A lump that eats crystal nuclei but can only ‘suck’ up nuclei and digest it slowly after the other party is completely dead. How can it beat others?

However, something strange happened. When Tuanzi whooshed over and jumped onto the vine, the vine bent over to examine the slippery touch, and instantly shrunk back! With a speed comparable to lightning, it quickly evacuated 20 meters away from the slippery ball in less than a second.

…

“…Why did you run away?” He Zizhong stood there with his knife silently, looking over where Tuanzi was. He Zizhong, had already sensed the vine that surreptitiously stretched out. Because he felt there was only one mutant plant that seemed to be about to “steal” the crystal core and corpses, he was preparing to blast it away with a ranged ability. Who would have thought it would run away on its own?

Tuanzi turned around aggrievedly. It didn’t float anymore, bouncing back with its signature thumping and puffing, trying to find mama to hug and comfort its injured heart. Snacks ran away!

“Maybe because it thinks there’s more of us?” Fang Hao was also puzzled. Since when were mutant plants be afraid of them? Could it be that the mutant plant also has times when its abilities fail?

He patted the dumpling that was trying to jump into his arms, poking it in the head. “Wipe clean first and come back! You’re full of mud.” After jumping on the ground a few times, there was a mess of mud under its stomach. Fang Hao decided to break its stinking habit – it obviously could fly, but had to jump around.

Tuanzi was injured again. The food ran away, and it was disliked by mama. Papa….huh! Ignore papa, who made his wife dislike it!

A mutant plant with a main root system hiding fifty meters underground was shivering. It’s the bare big demon again! The big devil who comes to grab its own food every time! A demon that can’t be caught, moved, or pierced no matter what!

Hm, fortunately, it’s witty. Since suffering a big loss, it carefully hid its body deep underground and used only tentacles to explore the way. Today, it naturally escaped!

Have to change a place. Since the big demon is wandering here, it has to find a safer place to hunt slowly, so its food won’t be robbed again.

He Zizhong and his wife drove outside during the day, beat zombies, and collected some useful materials along the way. They parked the car in a relatively safe place in the evening, and then the couple took Tuanzi back to the space for the night.

With Tuanzi now, as long as they let it out early in the morning to see the situation and confirm that no one is outside, they can flash out of space with a peace of mind.

As for the car? Close the doors and windows, bring the keys back to the space, and let Tuanzi come out from time to time in the middle of the night to see the situation. If it wasn’t for the large number of first-level crystal nuclei in the car, and their unwillingness to have these crystal nuclei directly absorbed by the space, they would have returned to the space together with the car.

After heading this way for two or three days, every day is same. Beat zombies and search the various shops for useful items during the day. The pair of husbands finally realized that the urban area today is really quiet today.

That’s right, it’s quiet. Along the way, apart from meeting some people hunting crystal nuclei on the outskirts of the city, they never encountered any survivors after entering the city.

“It seems that people really can’t return to this city any time soon.” After killing another wave of zombies, Fang Hao panted slightly against the car door. The deeper in they went, the more high-level zombies appeared. Now most of the zombies they encountered were second-level zombies.

“Indeed, so we have to take advantage of the time to spend more time in the city.” He Zizhong looked around and released his wind ability as far as possible. They already expended a lot of energy dealing with these zombies. Its a bit laborious, but if level 3 zombies appear… “Be careful, there are third-level zombies coming over!”

He Zizhong’s eyes condensed, staring in a certain direction.

Fang Hao quickly fetched a bottle of space water from the space, took two sips, and handed it to He Zizhong.

The two recharged a little bit, and saw the level 3 wind zombie appear!

This zombie is different from the one He Zizhong encountered last time. The zombie seems to have put all its abilities on speed and attack, but this one…

Looking at the cyan “wings” on its back, Fang Hao’s mouth twitched: “The color of the wings really doesn’t match.”

On the back of the black, ugly zombie is a pair of huge, glowing cyan ‘wings’. The wind-based wings glowing with cyan light are as beautiful as fairy wings in a movie, but the contrast is big enough to shatter all dreams.

“There is one more underground.” He Zizhong raised the dogleg knife in his hand, and a golden light gradually condensed on the weapon in hand. Since the last time he made Tuanzi deal with those mutant plants in the arsenal, He Zizhong has been particularly sensitive to danger from underground, and he will notice even a slight unusual vibration.

The wind zombie flying in the sky stopped abruptly, opening its radiant cyan wings, and countless blue wind arrows shot toward the ground!

A golden light condensed from the knife, and He Zizhong drew a huge circle in front of the two, as if forming a golden shield! Blocking most of the wind arrows!

“Hua-la!” There was a cracking sound, and a hand suddenly stretched out on the ground where the two of them were standing! Thankfully, before the hand stretched out, the two had already jumped to the side!

Earth zombie – can be integrated in the soil and perform attacks from the ground!

The attack types of these two zombies were unprecedented and unseen before. But fortunately, they discussed this before entering the city.

Several Samsara members have the same ability, but after leveling up, everyone’s evolutionary direction is not exactly the same. From this, it can be roughly guessed that each person’s ability will evolve differently, based on the person, their personality, and different dreams. As such, it is not unimaginable that level 3 zombies also vary in attack methods.

 

Hahaha Tuanzi. Folks, your pets are smarter than you think!
