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

When Fang Hao was upgrading in the space, He Zizhong took out an adult-shaped quilt from the space and protected him outside. There was no way – Fang Hao has speed and healing abilities. With it being night, even a stranger will have doubts when a white light is released. It’s not like there aren’t other speed abilities in the convoy. Everyone knows that the representative color of the speed abilities is navy blue, and he will be exposed as soon as he emits white light. Especially when upgrading to level 4, the aura spreading out is larger than at lower levels, much larger, and can be seen from other vehicles too.

After the upgrade, the light in Fang Hao’s eyes couldn’t be concealed either. Should he be thankful that his eyes are very black and very white? The result is when white streamers flow to the whites of the eye, the effect is not so obvious. Everyone’s attention will be attracted by the navy blue. And the black pupils… aren’t there contact lenses that can cover it?

Two days later, some scattered zombies dangling along the road once again came near the convoy. This time, Yan Xin directly issued a clearing order, but this order requires that only abilities and cold weapons can be used to kill zombies, and avoid using hot weapons and ammo as much as possible.

With special weapons made of gold and silver in hand, coupled with abilities, most people have the power to fight zombies. In particular, the number of zombies approaching this time is not too large, and the number of level 3 abilities have increased a lot. Given the number of zombies is almost equal to the number of people, the fight was very easy.

He Zizhong and Fang Hao were also involved in the battle. The two jumped quite deep into the gray, but one had full protection of the wind, and the other is extremely fast after reaching level 4. Like a flash of lighting, as long as they are careful not to be hit by someone else’s knife, there would be no problem.

Since their abilities just upgraded, they have to test if there are any new uses.

He Zizhong has discovered a new cheat-like skill after reaching level 4. Completely enveloping himself with wind and isolating himself from the outside!

The cyan wind wrapped around him is not a simple armor, but can isolate other things, such as his breath and the smell of his body. It can also ensure that the oxygen in the air is sufficient for breathing.

If this ability is used to fight other abilities, it will not have a big role. At most, it can be a protective suit to reduce damage. But against zombies, it’s basically a cheat!

Even after zombies reach level 3, they still rely on their sense of smell to determine their targets. Even if a big living person jumps naked in front of them, as long as they can’t smell it, it is no different from stones and roadside obstacles, and will not even bat an eye.

But He Zizhong is a human! And he is a very powerful ability user! After the upgrade, facing zombies lower leveled than him, is like using a sharp blade to hit soft tofu. With this thin wind barrier, he is invisible to them, and can choose to kill any enemy he wants to kill!

This ability was discovered when He Zizhong had just reached level 4, and was also the first new skill to be fully utilized by him. Now he is studying other aspects, such as, can a level 4 wind ability person fly?

Thinking of the level 3 wind zombies they encountered before, He Zizhong admitted that he was indeed tempted. At level 2, wind abilities can only help reduce the speed of falling and make the weight of a stone turn into a feather. But it still fell. But now, at level 4… will it be better?

It’s hard to resist the temptation.

When he occasionally jumped up and chopped zombies during battle, He Zizhong would use his wind abilities. There is a more obvious sense of stagnation. But maybe it was because he had already used the wind to hide his breath? Or maybe it was because there were many people nearby, and he was embarrassed to do something silly in the sky, so he saved the idea for the evening, when there’s a chance to enter the space and try again.

On the other side, Fang Hao happily flashed back and forth among the zombies. With his increased speed, he is almost completely invisible. Of course, the result of being too fast, is that he sometimes runs over his head and almost bumps into something. Things such as zombies, ruined walls, another ability person fighting with zombies, or the car parked on the road. If it weren’t for his martial arts and sensitive reflexes, who knows how many things he will hit after leveling up?

In addition to a speed increase, his attack power has become more aggressive than before because of the increased speed. In the past, he could only pierce half of the zombie’s head with one stab, but now he can pierce the zombie’s head directly!

As for the healing powers, since he and He Zizhong have hardly suffered any injuries since they upgraded, no changes have been found so far.

“Absolutely no problem.”

“It has been verified many times. Although the nutritional structure is indeed different from before the end of the world, it should have no side effects on the human body. This change and those mutated foods are still edible and acceptable to the human body.”

After official trials and repeated verifications, the base released inspiring news. The meat of mutated animals (non-zombie animals), is edible!!

Of course, one must make sure that the prey is not contaminated with zombie virus at the time of death before eating, and it has to go through repeated testing. Therefore, all meat circulating into the base must be tested before people are allowed to eat. Of course, a certain testing fee is required. For details, please refer to the notice posted at the door of the testing unit.

After knowing that the meat of mutant animals can be eaten, everyone cheered. Who will pay attention to the notice that followed?

In fact, people going out on tasks rarely encounter mutant animals. Compared with zombies, there are fewer mutant animals, and they are harder to fight. In addition, most mutant animals have become extremely dirty from the continuous rain, so people treat them as zombie animals instead.

But now that there is meat to eat, the eyes of people who have been on the verge of hunger and have not smelled meat for a long time from March to almost September, are all glowing. They didn’t dare eat before. But now they can. Someone in the base will come back to sell these!

In fact, as everyone expected, after the news was released, people inside the base started selling the meat of mutant animals. Because the official notice requires that all meat must be tested before it can be used and sold, most people will sneak it in and sell it on the street or roadside.

Some people worried whether someone will use the meat of a zombie animal to confuse them, and kill people. But facts proved that the meat of a zombie animal cannot be disguised as the meat of a mutated animal.

Zombie animals are like zombies. Their blood is black mixed with disgusting dark green. Their flesh is also black and smelly. Even a fool knows that such a thing is inedible. How does it look like the meat of a mutated animal? Although blood will turn dark red if the blood is not fresh, it is still red! Not black!

Mutant animal meat soon became popular in the base. After tasting, everyone complained that it was woody and hard, and did not smell like normal animals. In general, though, the taste was indeed meat.

Not long after mutant animal meat circulated in the base, the gate of the base was closed again before the new wave of ability users could go out hunting. Alarms sounded in every corner of the base, and everyone’s mood suddenly became heavy. Raising their heads nervously, they looked towards the nearest radio speaker.

“Zombie wave incoming, everyone is on guard!”

“What’s the situation with that zombie?” Fang Hao leaned against He Zizhong’s shoulder and asked in a low voice.

“…There is a white light under its feet? It doesn’t look like a speed system… What is the situation?”

It’s deep at night, and most people apart from the night detail, are lying on the vehicles ready to sleep. The two of them wanted to take the opportunity to let He Zizhong enter the space to test if he can fly with his wind abilities. But before entering the space, they used Tuanzi’s eyes to observe the surrounding situation. Thus, a weird zombie was found.

It is a dark night. All zombies are black and the ground is muddy and black. However, one zombie’s body shone white light from time to time. This made the pair very curious, so they let Tuanzi approach the zombie and observe.

The zombie is really strange. Whenever zombies use or display their abilities, most will emit a light from their hands. Even if some zombies use their mouths to breathe fireballs or have wings on their backs, the glow is still in their upper half of their bodies. But a light shining from under the feet of this zombie continuously…

The two closed their eyes and observed, Fang Hao said uncertainly: “This color…isn’t it a healing ability, right?”

Healing zombies…Why would emit white light from its feet? It obviously has hands, okay?

See that the zombie is getting farther and farther away from the convoy – running at an unpleasant speed and about to leave the convoy area, He Zizhong decided to check the situation.

He “transformed” into a huge long quilt, and jumped into the space by himself. Fang Hao put his arms around the quilt and put the quilt covered by the two on the “pillow” and disguised it as He Zizhong.

 

Not much a’happenin here.
