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

“Those two people are already level 3?” They can use a walkie-talkie on the road, but even if it is one-on-one, it can’t prevent other people from listening in. Therefore, he and Yin Dong have never exchanged any private topics.

Yin Dong lowered his eyes and looked at He Zizhong who was sitting not far away. “No, one of them is already level 4.” He Zizhong leveled up in the car, and everyone in the car saw it, so of course he knows.

“Level 4?” Yan Xin’s mood became heavy. “Already there are zombies at level 4?” The fire ability holder obviously used a level 3 nucleus to assist him. If someone wants to rise to level 4, they should also have the crystal nucleus of a level 4 zombie, right?

Yin Dong shook his head. “I don’t know, maybe there are some in the depths of the city, but I don’t know how zombies upgrade.”

“There is research on the base, and they have conducted experiments. It is confirmed that zombies are more powerful after eating people. Their speed also increases.”

“Eating people to upgrade?” Yin Dong raised his eyebrows and looked at Yan Xin. “They experimented with living humans? But it is true, a few less people is nothing.”

“The base has healers. Cutting off some meat won’t kill anyone.” Yan Xin sighed and looked in the direction of the zombies being skewered alive by machine gun fire. “The two people said when they took people to collect gasoline, they saw zombies digging and eating the crystal nuclei of other zombies to upgrade.  I think this may also be another way for a zombie’s ability to improve.”

“Like an ability user using crystal nuclei to improve abilities?” Yin Dong pushed his glasses up. “Maybe eating the flesh of ability holders can also increase their strength. Maybe humans also have that kind of crystal nucleus… Has the base studied this?” Seeing Yan Xin nod silently, Yin Dong knew that he was right. The corners of his mouth bent. “It seems that zombies have more ways to upgrade than us, so they should level up faster than us. It’s a pity that zombies will not kill each other to improve their strength, otherwise we humans might be able to advantage of it.”

“Advantage? What advantage? Who can beat them when they reach level 9 or 10?” Yan Xin glared at him. Since this person has stimulated a mental ability, his brain circuits have become stronger and foresight should be better than normal people’s.

“Special missiles filled with gold and silver fragments can be developed. If one is not enough, use a few more.” Yin Dong didn’t seem to notice Yan Xin’s dissatisfaction, and the smile on his face seemed more relaxed. “Anyway, for humans, this is nothing.”

“Missiles are useless. You know that guided artillery have problems if they rise too high, and the circuit board will burn out.”

“Then make a bomb. In short, there will be a way.”

“Then you need to make the zombies willing to take the initiative to kill each other.” Yan Xin skipped the topic. “The ammunition is not enough.”

Yin Dong also fell silent and said after a while: “Before coming out this time, your superiors should have proposed to the solution to this kind of problem.”

“Yes, but…” Yan Xin hesitated for a while before explaining. “There are some hidden weapon storehouses on the road south. Some are in the suburbs or in the mountains. But the situation and whether there are mutated plants over there are unclear.”

If it were before, Yan Xin might decide to take those weapons without hesitation, but having encountered a mutant plant today and nearly having everyone turn into dumplings… If it weren’t for everyone’s timely response and focused firepower, no one will have survived.

He is no longer sure if they will survive on the way to fetch things in the mountains.

Yin Dong also frowned and looked at Ding Minggang, who inquired about how to upgrade. “…hurry up and send crystal nuclei down. If we have a chance on the way, hit the zombies to collect their crystal nuclei. Of course, the main thing is to use abilities to fight.”

“What do you mean?” Yan Xin thought of this too, but his purpose was to collect crystal nuclei along the way to fight and support the fight.

“The more frequently the abilities are used, the faster the abilities in the body are consumed, and the faster crystal nuclei are absorbed. This is a virtuous circle. Once crystal nuclei are absorbed to a certain degree…” His glasses flashed a white light. “You can upgrade.”

“…There are already a lot of level 2 players in this group. If they can reach level 3 as quickly as possible… even if we encounter mutant plants, they can deal with it.” Yan Xin understood what he meant. Immediately standing up, he looked at the logistics team that was collecting crystal nuclei. “The logistics team speed up. The convoy will set off after collecting.” After speaking, he snuck something into Yin Dong’s hand.

Everyone rested for a while as the logistics team quickly collected the crystal nuclei. Many zombies that exploded were not intact, and some had their heads blown off elsewhere. Who knows where the crystal nucleus in their heads flew to?

After collecting the crystal nuclei, each teams reported the number of survivors. All the people on one of the trucks were killed. The car was the one that was smashed by the collapsed mutant plant. Although some people jumped out in time, they couldn’t escape the ground attack of those plant roots. In total, more than 100 people died.

Except for the people in that car, all remaining teams were somewhat injured. The wounded were treated by the healing abilities for the first time. Everyone was ready to board the car after being checked again.

Before boarding the car, the logistics team had already counted all the crystal nuclei. Across the survivors, everyone could get almost 20 or 30 crystal nuclei! What was even more surprising is that nearly half of them are level 2 crystal nuclei! There are also some level 3 crystal nuclei!

After Ding Minggang successfully reached level 3, everyone understood the role of high-level nuclei. Prior to this, everyone only knew how stingy the base was about distributing certain resources. It is rare for Yan Xin to be so generous, and made everyone a little dumbfounded.

Though the number of level 3 nuclei are not large, all combat troops have one, and each car has at least one!

He Zizhong and them did not know what was going on in the other cars or how the crystal cores would be distributed. But after He Zizhong and Fang Hao said they did not want the level 3 nucleus, Guo Bing and Yin Dong discussed and decided – the next person to be upgraded with the same type as this crystal nuclei will get this level 3 wind nucleus.

Those who can soon upgrade to level 3 are the strongest players in the team. Most of them in the vehicle are from Samsara, so naturally everyone has no opinion.

He Zizhong didn’t want this level 3 nucleus, nor was he being generous. Who told them to have a pile of previously collected nuclei from Tuanzi? After the logistics team finished sweeping the ground and the convoy readied to set off, Tuanzi swept the battlefield again. The logistics team may miss some humble or hidden crystal nuclei, but Tuanzi definitely won’t.

The old man has its own crystal nucleus radar. Even if they are buried, it will definitely not escape the old man’s crystal ball.

Once a stomach of crystal nuclei is filled, Tuanzi will fly back and spit it into the the bag next to Fang Hao. After the convoy went too far and it became troublesome to fly around, the old man directly flashed into the space, spitting out half, then flashed to find mama, and let the space slowly digest those crystal nuclei.

Even if this method saves some work, the jade pendant on Fang Hao’s neck already has a lot of level 1, 2, and 3 crystal nuclei. A corner in the space is basically shiny.

On the command vehicle, Yan Xin listened to the loss report. The weapons and ammunition on each vehicle were basically consumed seven or eight points.170-80% If they encounter such a situation again, they can only press hard with their abilities. At present, they can only improve everyone’s strength while traveling and fighting according to the method discussed with Yin Dong.

Fortunately, he will directly issue orders for the route to the south, and can decided where to go or whether to change the route. The people below will not raise objections.

“All the blood bags are used up.” After counting the weapons, Yan Xin looked over to the car’s refrigerator. It does not contain food or drink, but blood bags that have been collected from the base.

These things were a life-saver before healers were discovered. After healing abilities emerged, they became tasteless.

The usefulness is certainly still there, but the effect is not as fast. Moreover, there is an expiry date, and they will become useless after a long time. Fortunately, people’s brains are good enough. Using this thing to attract the attention of zombies is better than anything else. So before this mission they brought a lot of these bags out.

Originally, Yan Xin wanted to drop a few blood bags along the way as soon as they encountered a crisis, so the team could escape after attracting zombies elsewhere. However, there were too many zombies and they were surrounded by mutant plants. Even if all the blood bags were thrown out, it could only attract the attention of the zombies, and the zombies rushing over were coming from all directions. Only then did he think of a way to use the blood bags as a primer, then use a time bomb to detonate, and hot weapons to bombard and kill zombies, for a fighting chance at a beautiful turnaround.

“There are ten more.” The adjutant said quickly.

Yan Xin nodded. This can be used as a decoy several times. “Store it well, they are helpful when we’re in danger.”

The public communicator rang suddenly – someone was going to upgrade!

A consecutive 6 or 7 hours seem to have become a key. A key to unlock and break through the limit. A key to inducing ability upgrades.

In the following two days, one after another, level 2 abilities began to upgrade, and many level 1’s also reached level 2. The crystal nuclei sent by Yan Xin suddenly played a big role at this time.

After these two days, Yan Xin had people counted and found that those who upgraded to level 3 were all from Samsara!!

There is no way, the number of crystal nuclei in the Samsara team members is very large. How can other teams continuously absorb and supply crystal nuclei each day? Even those high-powers in the base can’t continuously absorb them from level 1 to 2, and then to level 3. A huge amount of crystal nuclei is needed! But the Samsara team can barely do it. Everyone in their team has a large number of private crystal nuclei, and they maximize their absorption every day. Naturally, they can upgrade much faster than others.

And during this period, Fang Hao took advantage of everyone’s sleep to run into the space at night, and sneaked up a level.

 

Collective level up!
