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

Gasping for breath, Dai Jun clutched a pistol and hid in a warehouse near the base.

He didn’t know how Allen died suddenly, and he didn’t understand how he became the biggest suspect. He just slept with Allen and they didn’t even roll in the sheets!

Who on earth killed Allen? Even blaming him?!

Also, who on earth helped him escape?!

Tremblingly listening to the scratching and slamming outside the door, Dai Jun had never felt so desperate. The person who rescued himself only said-even if he was wronged, they would never believe an ordinary person. Not to mention even if they “accidentally” killed him during the interrogation, no one in the base would care!

Yes, in this world, only capable people are valuable, and only they have the weight to speak!

Look at Allen, didn’t he build a team because he was became an ability person after the apocalypse? Even more because he as abilities, he was looked upon by the base, and was going to marry the Song family’s daughter!

How many taboo things did Allen do? Wasn’t it because of his identity as a superpower that made others afraid and unwilling to actually attack him again and again? And this time… this time someone was obviously jealous and didn’t want him to marry Miss Song’s family, and then secretly made a move in the dark!

As long as he can become a person with abilities… as long as he can become a powerful person…

Dai Jun tremblingly took out a small transparent “stone” from the backpack he was holding tightly. This is the thing all forces in the base are collecting now. The crystal nucleus was acquired at a high price. It is said to be a good thing that can improve the strength of those with abilities and upgrade their talents.

Dai Jun didn’t know how people used it to upgrade their abilities, but he also heard another rumor…

The trembling of his hands became more and more fierce. This was not caused by the panic from the past two days, nor was it from fear of those zombies outside the door smelling his own flesh. It was because his drug addiction had flared up again…

In those days when Allen and the others left the base, he got in contact with someone who still had some white goods in their hands.

As an Overlord member, he knew some hidden news, so that person would use drugs as a reward to please him. Once during their transactions, the other party mentioned it seems that the base discovered a way for ordinary people to stimulate abilities – eating crystal nuclei.

Dai Jun had also questioned the fact that eating crystal nuclei would turn into a zombie, but what the other party said made sense – chance. Some people will turn into zombies, but some people can trigger abilities after eating it. It’s said that he heard from people who stimulated abilities because of eating the crystal nucleus. In despair and desperate to survive, they ate the crystal nucleus and really succeeded in gaining an ability.

It sounds unreal… but today’s world has long since become a fantasy more fantastical than novels…

Should he try?

Looking at the door that kept slamming, Dai Jun’s expression changed for a long time, and finally – he raised his head and stuffed the crystal core into his mouth.

If it is not despair now, when will he be in despair?

He will surely repay those who insulted him a hundred times over!

There were some deliberately attracted zombies outside the warehouse door, gathered around knocking on the door firmly and regularly. The aroma from inside made it impossible for them to give up the fat and tender meat inside. They are only first-level zombies, and are easy targets for those with abilities who often come out to hunt zombies and crystal nuclei. But for ordinary people who don’t have the power to tie up chickens, they are nightmares.

However, after they surrounded this place for nearly three hours, they suddenly wandered away in a daze, and no longer surrounded the tightly locked door—there was no more food here, they needed to look again…

And a thin and slender zombie holding a black firearm in one hand, and carrying a backpack bag in the other, wandered in confusion in the long empty warehouse…

“No problem, let’s go back.” Fang Hao released his hand on He Zizhong’s wrist, and announced with satisfaction as he patted the sticky Tuanzi next to him.

Since Fang Hao’s ability could detect whether the human body was infected by the zombies virus, they checked every night before taking a break, regardless of whether they were injured or not, before entering the space to rest.

This method is very good. Although it is a little troublesome, the couple still thinks it is better to take precautions before anything happens, to prevent something that will make them miserable for a lifetime.

That’s right, the two of them now have a lot of food, a storage space, and a lover by their side. Such a happy life and future, no one wants to be negligent and regret it. Isn’t it just a little bit of trouble? Wait a few minutes for a check and treatment.

The two have had a good harvest in the urban area these days. They are on the road, beating zombies, and collecting supplies.

Compared to the early post-apocalyptic days, the things that can be collected at this time are much less. But compared to the places outside the city that have been visited by an unknown number of teams, the gains of going deep into the city are still very impressive.

Their main goal this time were all kinds of jewels and jade, but other things that might be used were not forgotten. Among them, many things such as spare tires and automobile parts were also found. But most of the remaining things are completely useless because of the continuous rainy days.

Especially food, medicine and some daily necessities. Even if they are boxed, most things are moldy and completely unusable.

The couple returned to the space to prepare dinner, wash, and rest. When there are no outsiders, the two of them can return to the space unscrupulously. It is much more comfortable than when in the villa. When they are in the base, they have to worry about whether someone will come to the door.

“Why do you think these things can’t be absorbed by the space? Are they fake?” Fang Hao picked up a bright red ruby. It was crystal clear, and it looked no different from a real ruby.

“Maybe, we haven’t learned how to distinguish these things. It’s not like before the end of the world – there’s no place to verify the truth.” He Zizhong smiled and put the casserole in his hands on the table. The fish ball rice noodle casserole is cooked by his dear, and he is responsible for bringing the food to the table.

“This is different from the one given to Le Tian and others… I think the jade pendant last time may be real jade, and there will be space in it.”

“Yes, that jade pendant may be similar to the space in my bracelet. Coming across one such item is already very difficult.” He Zizhong knew what Fang Hao was thinking. After they entered the city this time, Fang Hao would pay special attention to which jewels had not been absorbed by the space. After the jewels are collected together, they will try to communicate with these jade articles in the same manner as communicating with the Void Space, to see if they can find other spatial jewels.

Unfortunately, they have not had any luck.

“By the way, how did you activate this space?” Of course Fang Hao knew that He Zizhong’s original space was a bracelet. But how did this bracelet activate in the first place?

“I engraved my name on it and it was activated.” He Zizhong spread his hands and pointed to the table in front of the two of them. “If you don’t eat soon, it will become soggy.”

“Let’s try it in a bit. See if we can use this method to activate… oh yeah, there is also dropping blood to recognize the master!”

He Zizhong rubbed his hair in amusement. Forget it, if he likes spending time on this, just let him. Although he doesn’t know why Fang Hao is so keen on finding a space, since it’s his hobby, just let him try.

Facts have proved that even if there is a good thing like pie in the sky, the pie cannot fall every day. Even if it drops, it may not all fall on their heads. Anyway, the couple tried various methods that night, but they couldn’t find any new space in those jewels.

The two left the space again in the early morning of the next day and drove to the depths of the city. Their goal this time is the convention and exhibition center of a large-scale jewelry exhibition in the city. This convention and exhibition center has been on display since the end of the world, and the contents should still be there. If they want to upgrade the space, there is no doubt that this is a very good choice.

But before approaching the exhibition center, they unexpectedly encountered another problem.

“God… It’s huge.” Fang Hao held up his binoculars, staring dumbly at a huge figure entrenched on a high-rise building in the distance.

He Zizhong touched his chin, and said with emotion: “No wonder we didn’t see any zombies all the way.”

“Yes, that thing is so big, it will be weird if there are zombies around here!” Fang Hao nodded vigorously. That thing is so big that anyone can see it clearly without a telescope. Using a telescope, one can see more detailed things, such as those weird vines entangling several high-rise buildings, or the pattern on the shockingly large flower.

“Whose family planted this thing?” He Zizhong wanted to trace the rhizomes to which window in which building this weird mutant flower came out. Unfortunately, they’re too densely packed. It almost completely entangled several nearby buildings, and it is impossible to see where it originated from.

Smiling wryly, Fang Hao glanced at He Zizhong. “The question now is… how are we going to get there?”

A huge mutant flower occupies several buildings not far in front, and is wrapped around several tall buildings. At least two buildings spanned as its fulcrum. In addition, the rest of its vines, branches and leaves spread out in all directions, centering on it, as if it were blooming.

Those vines are spread across the high-rise community, dozens of shops next to the community, and several streets within sight.

With such a large sphere of influence, it is no wonder that there are no traces of missing people nearby.

 

That is a huge ass flower. I’m trying to think of a flower character from games, shows, or otherwise that’s that big, but they’re all tiny…
