He Zizhong and Fang Hao pulled out their weapons and climbed up the big pit. Although the number of third-level zombies in the war against the plants was relatively large, there were only a dozen or so total. As for that weird zombie homunculus made from multiple zombies… they discovered it was a peculiar kind of level 2 zombie. It used to some special energy to condense together, ‘forming’ a kind of armor. After being blown by the bomb, those not-so-strong external limbs flew away, exposing the weaker zombies in the middle.

Bombing is easy. It is more troublesome to deal with those half-dead things. Many zombies were blown to pieces, but they were still not dead. They were still crawling and struggling with perseverance. It took a full night for them to crawl far away.

Coupled with the fact that the heads of many zombies that have not yet died are hidden among the ruined walls, it is inevitable that they will be injured no matter how high their power levels are. Moreover, the plants and vines that have not yet died are attacked from time to time…

Fang Hao looked at the newly scratched wounds on He Zizhong’s body. His face was so dark that ink could drip out. “If it weren’t for things not being flammable, I really want to burn everything here. It’ll be much easier.”

He Zizhong smiled and touched his hair. “It’s all minor injuries, but I’ll have to trouble you these couple of days. After we’ve cleaned up here, let’s go to the convention center. We can return to the base and rest after.”

Their gains this time are not small. After a night of hard work, a pale fog is visible in the space again.

“Well, be careful when you act. If it doesn’t work, put on protective clothing. Don’t be afraid of trouble.” The two of them made sure that the flowers were blown up and there was no such strange pollen in the air, before dressing lightly. But there was too many debris nearby, and they will be unavoidably scratched by zombie sneak attacks.

“Let’s see how it goes. After all, those clothes are not conducive to action.”

It took a day for the two of them to finally clean up the remaining zombies. Tuanzi finished picking the big plant nuclei, and is dealing with the scattered small plant nuclei. This is also a tasty thing it likes to eat – it definitely can’t give it to papa and mama! After its full, then it’ll go find those low-level crystal nuclei!

In the evening, the two returned to the place where the car was parked. From there, they entered the space and rested for another night, preparing to set off again tomorrow morning to see the situation in the jewelry exhibition hall. As for the Tuanzi? It can search for as long as it wants to search. Either way, the crystal nuclei here will eventually be picked clean by it.

Early the next morning, Tuanzi really hadn’t finished its work. That plant is too big, and as long as there are buds, crystal nuclei will surely condense. Adding the other small and large zombie nuclei, its enough to keep Tuanzi busy for several days.

The couple ignored the little guy and drove directly to the depths of the city. Without plants in the way, their journey afterwards was a lot smoother. Even the number of zombies encountered on the road is not as many as a few days ago. Presumably many zombies died directly in the previous plant vs. zombies.

The car drove until noon the next day before arriving at the convention center that they had been eyeing long ago. Looking at the zombies dangling on the street outside, Fang Hao pointed to a few zombies with schoolbag straps on his shoulders and asked: “Have people already swept this area?”

“It’s very possible.” In the early days of the apocalypse, someone would definitely have an idea to come. “But not everything can be taken away.”

The two of them parked in an inconspicuous place and then emerged on the street. Smelling the scent of human flesh, the screamed in excitement, rushing over to the two delicious meats, and then… and then… died at the feet of those two fresh meats.

Tuanzi was still collecting nuclei near the ruins near the high-rise building and big flower. It could only rely on itself to deal with the crystal nuclei here. Because the food over here is so delicious, even if it knows there’s third-level nuclei near papa and mama, it doesn’t have time to drool. Anyway, papa and mama can’t eat these things – won’t it still be its own in the end?

Dealing with these spread out zombies, He Zizhong and Fang Hao have always used their abilities, supplemented by heat weapons. The two of them have level 3 abilities, which are the highest among ability holders presently. What’s more, they have the skills to back it up. There is not much pressure facing zombies of the same level. Of course, because the movements of these zombies also became a lot more flexible, it also created more trouble. However with Fang Hao, ordinary minor injuries would naturally not have much impact on the two of them.

The two went head-to-head and wiped out the zombies that were rushing over from the street one by one. Suddenly, He Zizhong felt dizzy. Although he quickly regained his wits, what followed was a violent stabbing headache.

“Roar!” A flexible third-level zombie suddenly jumped out from the corner of the street where the two were located! Fortunately, He Zizhong’s reacted in time – a third-level speed zombie.

The headache just now came to the end…

Concentrating his energy, He Zizhong focused on dealing with the zombie in front of him, when Fang Hao suddenly released a low cry not far behind him.

“What’s the matter?”

“Head… hurts a bit.” Fang Hao said as he chopped one of the three zombies surrounding him.

“Concentrate, be careful… it may be a mental attack!”

“Spirit?! There are spirit1It’s the same word as “mental”. But “mental zombie” sounds weird, and spirit zombie was used in an earlier chapter. Mind is probably the most appropriate term. zombies?!” Fang Hao was taken aback, recovered, and violently attacked the other two zombies.

He Zizhong once again had that dizzy feeling again. He calmly expanded his wind ability to distinguish his surroundings carefully…

With a ‘shaa’ sound, the speed zombie that was facing He Zizhong rushed towards him, taking advantage of the moment he was in a trance. There was no way to avoid it to attack!

He Zizhong did not evade. Letting the zombie scratch the skin of his chest with one claw, he clamped its arm tightly with his arm and chopped it at the back of his head with his backhand!

Exchanging an injury to kill the zombie, he ignored the fact it scratched his chest, and shouted to Fang Hao, who was dealing with another two zombies: “In the second floor on the left, in the third window! ”

Fang Hao didn’t hesitate at all. He swiftly jumped to a house beside the road to the left of the two of them, and rushed into the third window.

There was a loud bang. He Zizhong had just thrown away the corpse of a third-level zombie when Fang Hao jumped out of the window again, rushed to him and pressed a hand on his chest, healing him with a grimace.

A spirit zombie itself is not difficult to deal with. Its physical strength and movement flexibility are similar to those of the first-level zombie. The difficulty is that it is so ordinary that it is difficult to find when thrown into a pile of zombies.

However, this zombie was unlucky – it cleverly hid in a separate space and was found by He Zizhong.

Fang Hao found out that He Zizhong was injured before he went to catch the zombie. If he didn’t need to solve the problem, he would definitely clean up He Zizhong’s wound first. It was a scratch on his chest! God knows how fast the virus spreads?!

After repeatedly inspecting four or five times, and confirming that He Zizhong’s body was free of any zombie viruses and all the wounds were healed, Fang Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief and opened his palm. “This is the crystal nucleus in that zombie’s brain. ”

The nucleus of the spirit zombie looks like a large, ordinary, non-attribute first-level zombie nucleus, but the milky white is deeper. Placed side-by-side, almost no one can see the difference between them.

“A spirit ability nucleus?” He Zizhong was also a little confused when he saw a nucleus of this color for the first time.

“Fortunately, Tuanzi is not here at the moment, otherwise it would have rushed out and swallowed it.” Fang Hao was in a mood to laugh when he saw that all the injuries on He Zizhong’s body healed.

“Check if you have any wounds on your body.” He Zizhong said. Fang Hao often forgot to take care of himself when he was busy with his affairs, and maybe ignore things if he didn’t remind him. With that, He Zizhong bent over to dig the crystal nucleus in the brain of the third-level zombie that had just been killed.

Closing his eyes to observe Tuanzi – it was inside the space at this moment, floating in mid-air, absorbing crystal nuclei.

“The fog in the space has thickened a lot.” After a certain group of people’s tireless efforts, the space finally showed a tendency to evolve again.

“We should be able to speed up a lot after we go there?” Fang Hao finished checking his body. There were only a few small scratches from moving too fast and being unable to avoid the surrounding debris when fighting in a relatively narrow space.

“Well, let’s work hard on both sides. Maybe this time we can rush the space directly to level 4 before we go back from the city.” Although the demand for crystal nuclei increases exponentially every time the space is upgraded, their gains after entering the city this time have also exploded exponentially. Otherwise, it would be hard for the space to upgrade again so soon.

Fang Hao thought for a while, and suddenly suggested: “When we find things in a while, it’s better not to put them in the space first. Wait for Tuanzi to pick up all the zombie crystal nuclei over there first. If the space suddenly upgrades, Tuanzi will enter the dormant period together with the space. No one will be able to pick up the nuclei over there when that happens.” If there are too many things left, they can only wait for Tuanzi’s upgrade to finish, and are helpless if things are picked up by mutant plants or other people.

He Zizhong moved in his heart, nodded, and communicated with Tuanzi in his heart.

The other side just finished absorbing some more, adding to the concentration of fog in the space. After receiving the order, the ball mentally “kicked” He Zizhong through the connected mind call, and then flashed out twisting and turning, continuing to collect nuclei.

After receiving He Zizhong’s order, Tuanzi did not continue looking for plant crystal nuclei, and instead returned to the place where the zombies and plants were entangled at the time, sucking up the scattered low-level zombie crystal nuclei one by one.

It’s too lazy to enter the space to digest these, and He Zizhong and Fang Hao also need these crystal nuclei as pocket money after returning to the base, so after sucking out these crystal nuclei, it flew to a certain place and hid these things in a corner.

 

Tuanzi: Abuse of group workers 2.0!!!

1It’s the same word as “mental”. But “mental zombie” sounds weird, and spirit zombie was used in an earlier chapter. Mind is probably the most appropriate term.
