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

Leaning his head on the leaky tarp behind him, He Zizhong slowly drank the space water. A slender hand without any callouses stretched into his waist, gently stroking him with a familiar temperature and gentleness. They used weapons and exercised their skills every day, but their bodies don’t have any scars, and their hands are not even a little thick or worn. This is not due to Fang Hao’s healing power, but it seems to be the effects after taking a hot spring bath in the space.

Fang Hao’s hand reached in from He Zizhong’s back waist and directly touched his skin. He wasn’t taking advantage of someone, or flirting in public, but checking whether he was infected with the zombie virus.

The two were very careful with their actions. They checked their bodies every day for accidental infection. Today, seeing someone become a zombie in public was a wake-up call for the two of them, and they once again exercised high caution.

Feeling the back of the back part of the hand retract, He Zizhong handed the water bottle in his hand to Fang Hao. “Drink a little.”

The water bottle was filled with space water. The fighting intensity just now was not big nor small. Under this kind of zombie siege, even the two of them couldn’t use their power to wipe out the enemy. They were able to deal with level 3 zombies, and their power when cooperating was greater than one plus one, but even a god of war would be tired after this type of siege battle.

After checking his body and confirming that neither of them had the virus, Fang Hao took the water with a sigh of relief and drank it.

At this time, everyone in the car was all tired. The only thing that was more energetic was Le Tian who poked an unknown object. “Unexpectedly, no crystal core was dug!”

Zhang Xiaoming patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: “It’s not like we weren’t the only ones not to gain anything?”

“But this is too… a lot of zombies died just now!” When the Samsara team usually went out, even if they are besieged by zombies, their logistics personnel will also dig out the crystal nuclei, but now…

“There’s no way, this is the rule of this operation.” Zhang Xiaoming also felt it was a pity. Before this mission, it was stipulated that everyone should not dig crystal nuclei without authorization. After the battle, the unified military personnel will dig the nuclei and distribute them.

Although the logistics staff had a chance in the battle just now, no one acted rashly. As a result, they all evacuated, but the crystal nuclei were left behind.

He Zizhong also remembered this, and quickly closed his eyes and connected to Tuanzi’s side… Yes, Tuanzi’s side.

Tuanzi popped out of the space when everyone rushed into the warehouse and dealt with the mutant plant. Fortunately, it knew the severity, and would hide itself first when it came out. Even He Zizhong didn’t notice it at the time.

But now… considering the one-track nature of a certain dumpling, it would be more strange if it couldn’t sit still after seeing the plant crystal nucleus!

Sure enough, just as He Zizhong connected to Tuanzi, he found that the ball was jumping and bouncing beautifully. It jumped on a vine, “stepping” on the side with the plant nuclei, slowly “squeezing” it out from the place where the vine was cut!

Yes, “squeezing” it out!

He really didn’t know how it came up with this method. It seemed to know that its parents couldn’t deal with it, but it really wanted to eat plant crystal nuclei, which led to it coming up with such a weird, but strangely effective method. If it weren’t for it being pretty inefficient, all the crystal nuclei on the vine would have been “squeezed” clean by it.

Mentally commanding Tuanzi to collect all the level 3 zombie nuclei in the warehouse, He Zizhong didn’t care about it anymore.

Fang Hao flipped through the bag, took out two red bean cakes from the space and handed it to He Zizhong. The two of them were a little hungry after tossing for so long.

It is not only He Zizhong and the others who are hungry, but the others in the team are also similar.

In addition to these miscellaneous grain cakes, there are many vacuum-packaged foods. Those things are more durable than these cakes, but because it’s harder to find these things after the apocalypse, everyone was reluctant to eat them. It’s better to eat these unpackaged foods first.

Taking a bite, he realized the pie was salty, with a beef and onion filling. Although there wasn’t too much filling, it tasted good, with a chewy mouth feel and crisp texture outside. He Zizhong secretly rejoiced there was plenty of different soups and stews in the space. Since the miscellaneous grain cakes were produced in the base, Fang Hao worked hard to produce many counterfeit products with different tastes. There was sweet, salty, soft, and hard. There are both stuffed and unstuffed ones, with a variety of flavors, serving as essential dry foods.

For example, the two of them ate minced meat and chopped vegetables in the morning. And now, it’s beef filling at noon. If they want sweet flavors, there is bean paste, black sesame, cream and other fillings… It’s basically is no different from the various cakes and snacks that people could buy before the end of the world.

Although they’re warm, it’s not hard, and does not have any eye-catching fragrance.

After eating something for lunch and drinking water, before everyone in the car was ready to take a break, Yin Dong got up and walked over to He Zizhong and sat down in front of the two.

Raising his hand and pushing his glasses, Yin Dong looked at the two of them. “Your abilities have reached level three, right.”

It was a statement, not a question.

He Zizhong raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn’t expect that he would open his mouth and be so… Straightforward?

Hearing no reply, only He Zizhong’s slightly surprised expression, the corner of Yin Dong’s mouth twitched. “I have a mental ability, which should be intelligence.” Uncaring about the Samsara team staring in their direction, he continued. “Before, everyone in my team and myself thought I was an ordinary person. I just felt that my thinking became clearer after the end of the world. Later on, after the base discovered absorbing nuclei can enhance abilities, I also found out I was able to absorb them and confirm I really had an ability. But it doesn’t have any external appearance.”

Having spoken, he looked at He Zizhong and Fang Hao again. “Your ability should have reached to level 3. My confirming this has no other meaning, but since we have level 3 abilities in the team, some adjustments must be made when encountering situations on the road.”

His words were reasonable. He Zizhong did not need to hold on to the previous grudges, let alone he was not He Zizhong’s enemy from the start. It was only Allen, Dai Jun, plus Xu Lili. With the exception of Xu Lili, one was dead and one was missing. He was not so petty to move his anger to Yin Dong – as long as he didn’t come to provoke them.

He Zizhong nodded to acknowledge the statement. If one wants to upgrade to level 3 now, although there will be a steep cost, sooner or later they will catch up to his and Fang Hao’s ability level. What’s more, Samsara knew about it, and Yin Dong is not blind. Their lethality is obviously not at the same level as level 2’s. Let alone them, perhaps the military can also see it if they think about it.

After talking to He Zizhong, Yin Dong talked to Guo Bing to discuss plans when encountering future battles. The members of the Samsara team cooperate very well with each other, so their efficiency is also very good. Now that everyone in the car are grasshoppers on the same string, it is normal to cooperate, learn from each other, and work as a team.

Naturally, He Zizhong and Fang Hao did not pay attention to this kind of discussion of tactics, scheduling, and cooperation with the three squad leaders.

Fang Hao whispered in He Zizhong’s ear: “He is capable enough.” Although Yin Dong seemed to reveal his secret weapon to win Guo Bing and He Zizhong’s trust, he did not waste this trick either. In such a short time, he obtained the qualifications for in-depth discussions with Guo Bing and the others.

He Zizhong smiled. “We have to work together for a very long time this time. It is better to say it earlier.” Yes, regardless of whether everyone is willing or not, whether there is bad blood or not, they are tied together. If people are jealous of one another, then no one should want to survive. They have to break the deadlock so people in the vehicle don’t fight secretly.

At this moment, the non-commissioned officers who were in the carriage squeezed into the front cockpit. They didn’t know how they and the two drivers sat in the two front seats. Without the people from the military, Yin Dong and Guo Bing’s discussions became more convenient. After a while, the saw Yin Dong take out a walkie-talkie from his bag… not from the car, but his own.

He Zizhong raised his eyebrows and looked at Guo Bing on the side.

Guo Bing shrugged and stretched out his hands, indicating that he couldn’t explain clearly for a while.

It didn’t take long for Yin Dong to put away the walkie-talkie. After Chen Ning came over and explained to He Zizhong, they knew who Yin Dong was talking to just now – Yan Xin in the command car. As for what was said, it was naturally the problem of wasting crystal nuclei that Le Tian had complained about earlier.

Guo Bing must have taken the opportunity to raise this question. There is no other way – he loves his own wife. Knowing that Yin Dong and the commander of this operation knew each other, Guo Bing took the opportunity to raise this question. No matter who is responsible for logistics or digging zombie crystal nuclei while fighting, almost every team that has left the base and fought zombies has done so before. Naturally, everyone will not just collect nuclei and ignore the safety of their teammates. There is no problem as long unified scheduling is in place.

As they were listening to Chen Ning’s retelling, a certain dumpling suddenly sounded in He Zizhong and Fang Hao’s minds — “Gone, gone, gone!”

What’s missing?
