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

Guo Bing and his party were released after three days of semi-house arrest. The first thing they came out was to meet at the villa of He Zizhong and Fang Hao.

The person who opened the door was He Zizhong. After seeing Guo Bing, he laughed: “I also said that if you don’t come out soon, we’ll have to go in and grab people.”

Guo Bing smiled bitterly. “Don’t say coming to save us, we don’t even know where they brought us.” They wore blindfolds when they entered, and the same happened when leaving. The cars were all sealed, and they didn’t know where they held.

“It’s a small building on the northwest corner of the villa area.” He Zizhong smiled again, let them enter and sit down, turning around to pour water for them.

Guo Bing was surprised. “How do you know?!”

“That’s where important ability holders are located. Ordinary prisoners are locked up in the newly built prison.” He Zizhong’s words had several parts inquiring, as he had to be careful. Although he could confirm the state of Guo Bing and the others, he didn’t know what was being said.

If Ji Chuan and Guo Bing reached some sort of agreement, revealing their abilities would be a way of Samsara protecting themselves. Just now, he asked Tuanzi to confirm that Guo Bing was not secretly followed by anyone, otherwise he would have entered the space and left them hanging.

He would rather be a narrow-minded person, instead of being magnanimous and risk of falling into the predicament of his previous life.

Now that Guo Bing is intact, the base should be toying with some other ideas, and He Zizhong’s heart was relieved.

Guo Bing sighed and shook his head. He knew that He Zizhong and Fang Hao were very capable, but he didn’t expect their abilities to reach this level…

After taking a sip of water, he explained what happened in the two days.

It’s actually very simple. After discovering that abilities can be “produced”, the Song family can naturally “make” a second and third one after having a healer.

Some things cannot be known forever though. Especially the emergence of new ability users under the influence of the Song family.

Among the forces in the upper-level of the base, roughly how many people are in the opponent’s hands? What proportion have abilities? They found out about this news a long time ago. If there are only one or two more, it’s okay – maybe it’s an ability that someone hid away, or maybe they were lucky to survive being infected. But appearing on such a large scale… who wouldn’t be able to guess the key thing?

After the end of the world, everyone’s brains have been stimulated to the utmost in despair, so news that healing abilities can “create” new ability users spread like wildfire.

Because the Song family was ahead of other forces, they had long recruited many people who previously worked in the medical industry and stimulated abilities in large numbers. Although the ratio is not high, they have finally “created” more healers under their hands.

After having their own healers, they are naturally not as enthusiastic about the uncontrollable healing abilities of other teams. Therefore, although they still hoped that Samsara’s healer can be used, they temporarily put the idea aside after discovering that the team went outside the base and two new healers appeared in their own team.

However, the order for those who want to catch the Samsara team has long been issued. Now that people have caught this time, they should make good use of it, so-

“Go to SH city?” He Zizhong’s expression became gloomy. Not only is it far away from A city, but the mountains and rivers are plentiful. God knows what will happen on the road?

Guo Bing took a deep breath. “They said they knew that there are healers in Samsara. It happens that this operation is very dangerous and requires a large number of abilities to participate, so they will send healers to act with the convoy, along with us, to ensure survival.” As he spoke, he looked helplessly at He Zizhong, “This mission is mandatory, unconditional, and we must participate.”

Most of the teams captured this time are those the base considers more threatening or stronger teams. There are also many thorns who do not belong to any forces, some strong combat abilities that they can’t control, or people with special abilities not found in the base easily.

This is related to the strength of most of these people. But more importantly – this mission is very dangerous and the journey is far away, so they need to be escorted by these powerful abilities to complete it.

“What is there in SH city?”

“It is said that the situation in SH city is not good. There are powerful creatures, likely level 3 zombies, in the periphery. They are likely to besiege the city. SH city itself has a lot of advanced equipment that were taken to the SH city base after the end of the world. They need us to retrieve these equipment and escort some important personnel back.”

He Zizhong breathed out deeply after hearing his words. “This task is very dangerous.”

Guo Bing silently nodded. “How can it not be dangerous? Otherwise, they wouldn’t stare at us.”

“Are there any preferential conditions from the base?” Even if the base took the opportunity to introduce some uncontrolled, unstable elements this time, in general, they definitely still want to complete this task. If they want to complete the task, there will inevitably be some special benefits and preferential policies for participating teams.

Guo Bing laughed and leaned against the sofa. “Of course there is. Special weapons are customized for all those who participate in the mission for free, with at least two cold weapons and one hot weapon.”

“Hot weapons? Also special weapons?!” He Zizhong quickly raised his spirits.

Guo Bing nodded. “They said that special firearms for zombies have been developed!”

He Zizhong took in a deep breath. “Do you know what’s special?”

A team member behind Guo Bing laughed. ” We did some research with the boss, and it is estimated that in all likelihood, it’s something inside. Bullets are still required, and it is impossible to add too many messy things. But add something to the gunpowder and wait for it to enter the inside of a zombie and explode…”

Before he could finish his words, Guo Bing and several other team members laughed: “If we’re asked to find out how much gold and silver are added to those weapons, we are definitely powerless. But taking things apart, adding or subtracting things in bullets, is okay.” After speaking, he spread his hands again. “But not all bullets will explode when they hit a target. Fortunately, the batch of things we ‘picked up’ before happens to have a lot of such bullets.”

They have gold and silver in their hands, as well as a lot of open bullets. As long as they can figure out how to make these bullets, they can improve their own equipment. The military cannot produce anything in such a short period of time. The most likely way to develop new weapons is to improve existing weapons and equipment. This is a specialized art in the industry, and one that many people in Samsara are familiar with from before the apocalypse!

“That’s good.” He Zizhong couldn’t smile with a relaxed expression. “Right, do you want to inform Chen Ning to come back?”

Guo Bing frowned and thought for a while, finally shaking his head. “Wait first. If they are safe enough outside, let them join us outside the base when the mission begins.” Before they entered the base, they had already written down what type of cold weapons each person needed, and discussed everything with the base. They can let the members of the base handle it by themselves.

He Zizhong took over the task of communicating with the outside world. He shared that when he found that Guo Bing and them were taken away, he asked Fang Hao to leave the base to inform Chen Ning and them. At this moment, He Zizhong drove away from the base and went directly to the place where Chen Ning and the others were.

As for He Zizhong and Fang Hao — they expressed their willingness to participate in this mission together. Although there will be danger on the road, the gains along the way are probably not small. More importantly, they need those custom weapons, and want to go to SH city to see what the legendary equipment is.

The military opened the door conveniently this time. In addition to the previously agreed preferential policies on weapons, the participating teams will have rent and management fees to be paid during this time, canceled. After returning, there will be a wealth of team points, as well as the preemptive right to purchase certain special weapons and equipment…

The conditions are very favorable, which also means that this mission is very dangerous. And out of the various considerations by the base management, everyone in each team on this mission must ride the vehicles allocated by the base. Their vehicles can be left at home to deal with later.

Although materials, equipment, and other things of each team will be handed to each individual from the start, the space of all space abilities will also been requisitioned uniformly. Only public items can be placed inside, and they will be regularly checked on the road for use. Items will be registered every time before being put in. In general, everything is done in accordance with the requirements of the military.

The military moved quickly, but the weapons Guo Bing and the others requested were produced in just two days. Because the military requires each person to receive their own weapons, everyone in the Samsara team still had to return to the base to report, register, and receive their own weapons.

This time, the base is very strict. In addition to registering personal information, each person must also fill in their own ability, and verify on the spot by using the ability to confirm it is what is filled out.

The night before the mission, the people of the two teams got together again.

“All of our things are put away.” Guo Bing didn’t say clearly, patting the jade pendant hanging around his neck, and put the car and all their supplies inside.

Because they were worried about accidents during the mission, they recently used a lot of crystal nuclei to exchange with food from the base.

“So are ours.” His family’s things are all in the two spaces once they put the car and other things in the villa inside.

Guo Bing took a deep breath and looked around the familiar faces in the house. “This mission is very dangerous, and it will take a long time to return. I hope everyone will be united along the way, just like we every other time. Don’t be influenced because of other people, things, things of other people, during this time. Can you do it?”

“Yes!”

 

If I recall, this trip really is long.

T/N: For those that celebrate, Merry Christmas! For those that don’t, hope you have a great weekend.
