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

Seeing other people run out the car, the adjutant near Yan Xin glanced to the side and asked: “Major, are we not calling them back to the car?”

“No need. We’ll still rely on heavy firepower bombardment in a moment. As long as the person inside controlling these weapons are inside and can listen to the command.” As he spoke, he picked up the public walkie-talkie. “Attention all teams, the countdown is ten seconds, and the target is where the team previously stopped. 10, 9, 8… 1. Fire!”

Rumble!!! Explosions sounded one after another not far away, and flames shook the skies and earth.

Every vehicle in the convoy is equipped with heavy firepower weapons, but the amount of ammunition is limited. Yan Xin would not have used them if it weren’t for them facing such a dangerous situation. But now, so many high-level zombies and mutated plants are gathered here. They can’t be served in one pot, and it is still unknown whether they can leave here alive and how many people can escape…

Everyone was in a daze seeing the blazing flames. Attracted by the explosion, they almost forgot about the zombies fighting beside them!

With a “boom”, an ability person’s head was hit by a fireball from a nearby fire zombie!

“Zizhong!!” Fang Hao was startled. The fireball continued onwards, in the direction towards their truck! That location… should be exactly where He Zizhong was!

The people beside him were awakened by Fang Hao’s cry, and quickly killed the fire zombies When they looked again, Fang Hao had already jumped into the carriage.

Suddenly, a gust of wind spread out from his position of the truck! The airflow had an amazing aura, with bursts of gold in the cyan… It’s He Zizhong’s ability!

People who are familiar with He Zizhong knew his wind abilities were a little different from ordinary wind abilities; there will always be a little gold mixed in. He just said he seemed to be upgrading. What happened?!

The tarpaulin that was burned by the fireball was still emitting black smoke, but when it was hit by the wind. the flames were completely extinguished.

In the carriage, He Zizhong lowered his head to comfort Fang Hao, who threw himself into his arms. With a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, he said: “It’s okay, I’m okay.” His ability had completely upgraded before the fireball came in, and with the upgraded wind current blasting away the fireball, of course there was no problem.

How could Fang Hao not worry about He Zizhong? When he came in, he encountered him making a big move. Like a TV special effect, the fireball exploded next to his head! At that time, Fang Hao’s brain was numb, and he threw himself on He Zizhong’s body with a flash of white light. Finally, he recovered his wits. He was okay, he was indeed okay, and there was no injuries on his body.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m really okay. You can check if you don’t believe?”

“Upgrade in the space next time.” Even if someone around is suspicious, he will not let He Zizhong take such a risk anymore. God knows if an ability person upgrading is like those who practice qigong. What if you run into trouble?1 It’s useless to cry to death when something really happened!

“Okay, we must enter the space next time.” After rubbing his hair, the two gradually noticed the outside sounds – intermittent explosions and the sound of fighting next to the car.

The two looked at each other and got up to look outside. The battle was not over yet.

He Zizhong’s upgrade was successful, and the nearby zombies who weren’t killed by the explosion seemed to know there was a trap, and rushed toward the convoy again. Just when Guo Bing and others were preparing to fight desperately, they found that He Zizhong and Fang Hao had returned to the crowd.

“You okay?”

“I’m okay.”

He Zizhong turned his head and smiled at Guo Bing, but stunned Guo Bing instead.

“Where are your contacts?”

“Contacts?” He Zizhong was stunned. After reacting, he pointed to his eyes. “I didn’t take them off…”

“…light leaked.” The corners of Guo Bing’s mouth twitched a few times. As expected, after reaching level 4, there are more and brighter light streamers in his eyes. Even the whites of his eyes have a photoelectric effect from time to time, showing off their existence. Wearing contact lenses that can only block the pupils is not enough to block those lights running around.

Fang Hao just took care of He Zizhong’s safety and hadn’t noticed the condition of his eyes. Of course, even if he saw it, he was accustomed to seeing He Zizhong when he didn’t wear cosmetic contact lenses, so he might not notice it for a while. Seeing him ask now, he smiled and pretended to take out a small mirror from his pocket and handed it to him.

Looking at his eyes in the mirror, He Zizhong rubbed his chin in depression. Meow, is it useless even to wear cosmetic contact lenses this time? But fortunately, these cosmetic contact lenses are still useful. Wearing them can at least reduce the light and shadow effect by half.

Forget it, so what if it’s already like this anyway?

“All units pay attention and prepare to fight.” Because there were a lot of people coming out desperately, the command car had given up using the walkie-talkie to give notifications, and directly took a megaphone and opened the window to shout at those below.

Although there are a lot of zombies, the bombing just now killed most of the zombies fortunately. If the zombies in front of them can also be eliminated easily – they will definitely have a good harvest this time!

So many weapons have been consumed, if they don’t get some crystal nuclei to supplement everyone, they’ll be at a loss!

Cyan and gold are almost perfectly gathered together, and a thin layer condensed on the knife in He Zizhong’s hand. His wind can perceive the surroundings better, and it seems that every gust of wind can be controlled and used by him. He can also learn more about the wind – small fluctuations, faint movements, and the shape of every object.

This kind of feeling of fusion felt very strange. It was like the feeling he had before upgrading – as if the ability has completely become a part of one’s body, turning into an instinct.

A light blue wind condensed a layer on the surface of He Zizhong’s body, enveloping him. Suddenly, he rushed forward, but the zombies he rushed in front of him didn’t seem to “see” him. Rushing into the crowd, He Zizhong raised his hand and cut off its head swiftly. The crystal core tumbled onto the ground.

“So that’s it…” It turns out this is what that subtle feeling turned out to be.

“Kill!!”

“Kill the zombies! Dig crystal nuclei!”

Don’t know who shouted, but the suppressed emotions along the way and from being chased broke out at this moment. No one cared they had been under siege for a long time. Those with crystal nuclei quietly absorbed energy, and continued to fight hard.

Almost everyone on the convoy has some crystal nuclei, and almost everyone knows how to recharge their abilities in battle.

Most of their hot weapons have been used at this time, and the ability of logistic members is to  defend and attack with special cold weapons. Those with offensive abilities will naturally rely on absorbing crystal nuclei to fight back.

If they run out of crystal nuclei, pick up one from a newly killed zombie and continue.

“Everyone go out.” Yan Xin in the command car stood up and pushed the car door open.

Wu Geng’s eyes widened, and his voice rose: “Go out?! Where are you going?!” It is obvious that someone is beating the zombies outside. How can he make everyone go out? Haven’t they already withstood the zombie wave?! Isn’t it safe in the car!

Yan Xin glanced backwards coldly, his eyes pierced on Wu Geng like a knife. Wu Geng couldn’t help shaking as he sneered. “Do you know why you are so weak even after using crystal nuclei to enhance your abilities, but I am very strong?” After speaking, he ignored the pair of eyes staring at him as if wanting to eat people alive, and got out of the car step by step.

From the beginning, he was a soldier on the front line. Even after he developing abilities and accepting the crystal nuclei experiment, as long as he is on the battlefield, he never retreats, and never even thought about hiding in the base and letting others go desperately.

His military exploits, current rank, and status were all slowly accumulated in post-apocalyptic battles. Even this task was won by him himself. Maybe others don’t understand, but he is very clear. From the first day after the end of the world, he has clearly understood that if one wants to live in this world and become strong, they can only rely on their own strength.

He was one of the first people to have an ability, and he was one of the people who tried his best to use abilities in that first battle, thus reaching his current status. It is different from those dodder flowers who only know to hide in the base, not stepping outside, and lying in their nests. They dream of letting others work hard for them, but don’t know that the world is completely different.

This mission is a crisis, but it is also an opportunity. As long as he can lead this team back to the base alive. No matter how the task is completed, he has enough capital — He’s different from those who hide in the base and occasionally organize a large number of people to leave the base. In this action, they spend every day between life and death, and those who can go back alive will undoubtedly be the real strong players.

Basically everyone who could fight got out of the car. Although there were still numerous zombies rushing over, most had been affected by the explosion, and were more or less missing parts on their bodies. The more difficult are still the earth zombies who emerged from the ground, and escaped the bombardment.

He Zizhong continued to act with Fang Hao. With his abilities at level 4, he can use his wind more freely and quickly. It is almost as fast as Fang Hao at level 3. Forming a thin film of wind, he attached it to his own body, causing zombies to ignore his existence. Then he rushed into group of zombies, as if a tiger returning to the mountain, and was unstoppable.
