He Zizhong didn’t have the time to take care of Tuanzi who was screaming in his mind, but Fang Hao immediately reacted. Pretending to yawn and lean on He Zizhong’s shoulder, he closed his eyes to communicate with Tuanzi. After Chen Ning returned to his resting spot, Fang Hao whispered what Tuanzi meant. “It said the crystal nuclei in the brains of the three third-level zombies are gone.”

“The crystal nuclei is gone?” He Zizhong was stunned. Who took the opportunity to dig them out secretly? Or are there other mutant plants secretly hiding aside in the factory, waiting for everyone to retreat before going in and snatching the crystal core? Or did someone else do it?

Tuanzi squeezed and ate all the plant crystal nuclei before entering the warehouse. Not to mention the level 3 nuclei, there weren’t even any nuclei from those lower level zombies present!

Tuanzi took a long time to eat plant crystal nuclei, so there was some delay to find the zombie nuclei. But even if it ate slowly, didn’t the crystal nuclei vanished too quickly?!

Both He Zizhong and Fang Hao felt a little sinking in their hearts. The two might think someone else secretly dug them out if only the level 3 nuclei vanished, but if the other nuclei also vanished… except for mutant plants, or many people digging crystal nuclei together, this speed of collecting crystal nuclei can only be produced by someone with a space like He Zizhong’s…

Since reaching Level 4, Tuanzi’s floating and jumping speed has become much faster. After receiving Fang Hao’s instructions, it went around in mid-air to observe the situation near the warehouse. But they couldn’t see anything except the zombies wandering. There were no traces of the thief at all, which made the two of them feel weird.

The convoy continued to rush southwards without stopping. For the sake of safety, they hardly dared to stop at will. Each of these cars was full of living people, which was like a mobile kitchen with the scent of human flesh wafting out, attracting the attention of all zombies. Since these living dead have gained the instinctive desire to eat, how can resist after discovering this mobile food source?

As long as the convoy stopped for a while, within half an hour, they would be able to see a wave of zombies coming over. The first to arrive are speed and wind zombies, which are difficult for the team to get rid of them. Compared with when the apocalypse began and they can find a section of the highway to take a rest, there is no place for them to park safely.

Therefore, the team almost never dared to find a place to rest at will except when it was necessary to stop for maintenance and clean up the garbage on the car every day. Engines were kept on 24 hours each day. Fortunately, the cars were equipped with a lot of auto parts. Once something was broken, it was repaired as quickly as possible, and it was barely able to support it… however, no one knew how long this kind of high-speed rotation could last.

The group rushed for four days straight. After the warehouse battle, no one had time to complain about the sloshing or poor rest in the vehicle. Everyone was trying to save as much energy as possible, otherwise, if they encounter danger again, no one will be able to bear it.

The same is true for Fang Hao and He Zizhong. Although they can maintain nutrition and fullness, they need to be consistent with others when resting. At most, they have a softer mattress than others, reducing the uncomfortable bumps in the car.

The most uncomfortable thing is… convenience.1 The team will try to stop twice a day at most. To avoid being embarrassed, everyone tried to solve their personal problems during these two rest stops. If they don’t make it…? Hold it back. There are people in the car – isn’t is embarrassing to do it in the vehicle?

Of course, in the corner of each car there is a space for everyone to use. If it weren’t for both men and women present, these rough guys might stand by the side and solve personal problems directly under the car.

The couple woke up and used mouthwash and mineral water to clean up. Such a behavior can only be extravagant. There is enough in the space for them to use all sorts of hygiene products for a lifetime, but even so, they don’t dare to be too arrogant, and conserve water when possible.

Just after washing up, Guo Bing took advantage of the carelessness of those from Overlord, and quietly took out a bullet, squeezing his eyes at He Zizhong.

He Zizhong was stunned and asked in a low voice, “Done?!” This bullet was taken apart from the first day Guo Bing and the others got it, but because there was no way to analyze the ingredients and proportions, it has always been in the research stage.

Guo Bing nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: “The color this time is similar to the one given by the military. Half gold powder and two halves silver powder in ten bullets, and the remaining seven have normal gunpowder. You can take the opportunity to try it next time you encounter a zombie.” They can only try mimicking a similar color for now; the specific effect will have to wait after experimenting.

“The proportion of silver is higher? That’s good.” Of the gold and silver they retrieved from the urban area, silver also accounted for most of the goods.

“Yeah, we don’t know if there is platinum in it. This thing is also white and similar to silver, and it’s all crumbs, so we can’t see it.” Guo Bing spread his hands, sighed, and squeezed his eyes at the two of them.

Fang Hao stared at the modified bullets very suspiciously: “Is this safe? Will it explode with the gun?”

Guo Bing laughed irresponsibly. “I haven’t tried it yet. Why don’t you let your husband help? Just let him shield with an ability before shooting?”

Fang Hao wanted to throw the water bottle in his hand on Guo Bing’s smirking face. If it weren’t for people from other teams in the car, he would definitely add some color to his face!2 But unfortunately, there are Yin Dong and others in the car.

Although he endured it for the time being, Fang Hao’s eyes were aimed at the position of Le Tian not far away. After a while, bring that idiot over to bully him – who makes his family require such a beating?

He Zizhong smiled and accepted a few remodeled bullets, ready to experiment when he had the opportunity. In fact, if he wanted to find a chance to experiment, it would be very simple. He has space and Tuanzi. With Fang Hao’s help to cover him while everyone sleeps, he can use a bundled quilt to pretend, while he enters the space and finds a zombie with Tuanzi’s help to test the gun, then use Tuanzi to take him back to Fang Hao’s side.

But he needs to report back the results of the experiment to Guo Bing and the others. If they test the gun when everyone is sleeping, how can they explain it? It’s better to wait for an opportunity. The team is now heading to a place where gasoline may be stored, then continue southward. It might be hard to say about other places, but they will definitely fight zombies soon.

As He Zizhong expected, the fleet was approaching a place where a large amount of gasoline was stored the next day. This storage point was not a refinery like the one in the northwest, but a storage and transshipment center for the central and southern regions. They only transfer gasoline, but do not produce it themselves.

According to Lieutenant Zheng, they restocked on supplies when coming from the south. At that time, they were lucky. Although they also encountered zombies, they did not encounter high-level zombies. They ran away directly after they got a tanker, and did not go deep into nearby cities.

Hearing there are tankers here, the convoy naturally will not forego such a good opportunity. As long as they can get two vehicles, they can follow the convoy as far as possible. Even if one is used up and discarded along the way, it will still be enough to return to A city after reaching SH city!

This place where gasoline is stored is in the outer ring of I city. If there are too many people and too much movement, it will undoubtedly attract the attention of the zombies entrenched in city. If they wait too long, they will be besieged. Therefore, Yan Xin discussed with several persons in charge, and decided to send an elite team to rush into the outer ring of the city, and quickly withdraw after retrieving the tanker.

The most important question now is: First, who should be sent? Second, how can they tell which car has gas in it? Who is responsible for refueling if there is no gas? Who should be responsible for defense?

“There must be someone who can restrain the attention of the zombies. It is best to have a strong ability user buy time for the rest. It is best to have sufficient mobility, speed, and also have people who can refuel and drive…” These conditions are a bit harsh, and the number of people they can send is not large.

Wu Shao, who was unable to attend the high-level meeting but would not be driven out of the command vehicle, folded his hands on his chest, and sneered at Yan Xin. “You might as well find a superman to beat 100 zombies by themselves… ah yes, not just one, but at least two. If not, they won’t be able to drive two cars back, ah.”

Everyone in the meeting turned their heads and stared at him. Wu Shao felt even more happy when he saw it. Anyway, since being kicked out of the base, it will be difficult for him to go back alive. He wouldn’t be happy without pitting a few people!

As if he hadn’t heard him, Yan Xin pointed to the markers on the map without raising his head: “It’s easy to choose a candidate. Find a few speed-powered players who are responsible for driving, and see if there are any second-level ones. If there is someone who can drive and refuel, it’s better. If not, send two more engineers to follow. As for the person in charge of safety-a few people from the elite team, and the two people in the No. 7 car.”
