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

It was a wreckage of a car, muddied with dark brown marks and soil, and looks like it was ripped apart by something.

The car looked familiar — the truck leftover when they separated the convoy.

Unsurprisingly, instructions telling them to stop and be on high alert was issued across the entire team.

Yan Xin used binoculars to observed it carefully for a long time. Suddenly, he opened the corner of the car window, and an electric purple light ball condensed in his hand. As the light ball twisted, it became smaller and brighter, not stopping until it reached a third of its original size. Then, Yan Xin suddenly threw the ball of light towards a certain position — bang! The ground shook, and a very exaggerated pit was blown out on the ground.

A hissing sound that made one’s eardrums hurt emerged from the large pit. A broken mutant plant with about half of its body left ferociously twisted out, trying to remove the dead roots and find somewhere else to live.

“Fire.” Several fire abilities followed the command vehicle. They were already prepared before Yan Xin started. At this moment, everyone focused on the big pit and violently threw their skills.

Seeing that the entire plant was bombed, and most of the plant was burning, Yan Xin picked up the walkie-talkie again: “Every unit, be ready to respond to the enemy.”

They are in the mountains, and he does not believe that there is only one such plant laying in ambush. Even if there is only one plant, the loud explosion just now is likely to attract other things.

Sure enough, not long after, there was a rustling in the wilderness — zombie animals incoming!!

The road after entering the mountain is not easy. One of the factors that makes the road more difficult is the mutant plants and zombie animals lurking in the mountains.

When they fought this time, it was hard to see whether mutant animals were present. After all, when those animals came over, they were all in groups and pieces. Who could see which ones were mutated, and which were zombies? Even if there are mutant animals among them, it is difficult to distinguish them after being bombarded. At most, when the logistics team collects crystal cores, they occasionally find traces suspected to be blood.

This battle was even more ferocious than the full week they had been in the city before. Every car… or in other words, no one in the team was uninjured.

Fortunately, they had healing abilities in their convoy. Fortunately, there is a third-level healer in their team.

In this battle, several team members had really bad luck. One’s arm was broken in half, another had a big hole in his chest, and another person had their leg torn apart. Second-level healing abilities can do nothing about such wounds. At best, they can provide slow treatment, but cannot repair a broken limb. Once the blood loss is too much, the injured person is likely to lose their life.

But third-level healing abilities can deal with it! Although Wang Tong’s wife almost lost all strength from treating these patients, fortunately, several crystal nuclei suspected of being healing crystal nuclei were found in the previous zombie siege in the county. These crystal nuclei were uniformly distributed to her and the other healer. Now relying on these few crystal cores, the lives of those few people have finally been saved.

Second Lieutenant Zheng looked at the thigh of the man whose leg had been torn off, and could not help but show envy in his eyes – if he could have retrieved his leg at that time, wouldn’t it be…

He shook his head. No, there was only one healer at the base in City A at that time, and that person was only level 2 at most. Even if there was a level 3 healer at the time, his leg would have long since died and could not be reconnected…

This battle lasted a whole day and night, until eight or nine in the morning the next day. It was finally over just before the sky completely lit up.

Pack up and clean the battlefield, repair vehicles and equipment, and heal the wounds of everyone as fast as possible. Everyone checked their luggage and equipment, and the cooking team cooked with help from the logistics team…

Even if they had a good plan from the start and everyone knew that they might encounter mutant plants and zombie animals after entering the mountains, when these enemies appeared in front of them, the difficulty of such opponents still made everyone cry out. In fact, the attack style of these things is completely different from that of human zombies.

Because there are so many injured people, everyone pitched in. Including Fang Hao who secretly helped treat some Samsara members, as well as the minor injuries on him and He Zizhong, so that Wang Tong’s wife could relax. Fortunately, Overlord members were not nearby at the time, so they quietly cured these people inside the car. After Wang Tong’s wife’s ability was upgraded, her treatment speed also accelerated a lot. When Yin Dong and the others returned, they found nothing abnormal.

Yan Xin sent some people to inspect the wreckage of the truck, which had long been scattered, and confirmed that this was the car that was left behind at the time. There is no half figure or corpse inside, only some blackened blood. Given there are mutant plants present who will not leave behind a person’s corpse, were these people eaten by mutant plants?

The situation after Wu Geng’s people entered the mountain is now clear to everyone. Although no one said anything, they were very careful in their hearts.

From the very first time this team left the base, there were people with different thoughts in the team. It’s fine when they encountered dangerous battles, and most of them were still able to work together according to the goals pointed out by their superiors. But in those boring hours, especially among those who had been in the same cars as those people who stayed with Wu Geng, small conflicts are constant. No one had a good impression on those people.

People are rarely able to maintain a calm state of mind when they are in an excessively tense situation. Those teams and military soldiers who often go out to do tasks are fine. They have long been accustomed to adjusting themselves and their psychological state. But those people who usually remain in the base, do logistics, chat about gossip, and eat public food, as they traveled more, those people became either restless or overly depressed and frantic.

Fortunately, since those people clamored to stay, after removing these obvious unstable factors, the people remaining all had the same in their hearts at least – to live. Regardless of what they think in their hearts, everyone wanted to reach SH city, then return to the base alive.

After silently burying the truck in the big pit by the roadside, the convoy set off again.

The road after that was especially thrilling. Before the convoy reached the target location, they encountered three waves of attacks in the mountains that were comparable to the previous day.

There are many mutant plants, mutant animals, and zombie animals, and none of them are simple.

It can be said that after arriving at the secret base where the weapons were hidden, everyone was almost suspicious – they really reached here alive?!

If it wasn’t for the fact that a third of the convoy had their abilities upgraded to level 3, they might not have been able to escape alive after entering the mountain.

What is even more fortunate is that there is a level 3 healer, and another healer who has experienced very high-intensity daily treatment of wounded patients. Regardless of the level of ability, his healing speed is amazingly fast – a slightly smaller wound will disappear with a touch.

Fortunately, no matter how fast he heals, the effect of eliminating the zombie virus with the  healing ability will not be reduced because of this.

“Tell Jiang Feng and He Zizhong to come over.” Yan Xin observed through the binoculars for a while before instructing the people around him.

After the two arrived, Jiang Feng first confirmed the situation in the secret warehouse where the entrance could not be seen at all. “There are three zombies, all of which are low-level.” Yan Xin estimated that the three zombies were on-duty staff charged with guarding the warehouse, who zombified after the apocalypse and couldn’t leave again.

He Zizhong also activated his wind ability, sneaking into the underground bunker from a gap that could not be discerned by the naked eye. In fact, according to everyone’s experience, if there are zombies in this warehouse, then generally speaking, there will be no mutant plants inside. Mutant plants will hunt zombies to eat their crystal cores, and if there are any mutant plants, these 3 zombies will have long been eaten.

Wind swept through the entire warehouse. He Zizhong shook his head slightly after roughly judging the situation inside. “I didn’t find anything other than zombies.” As for whether there are mutant plants hidden in the soil… no one can guarantee that.

“Prepare to open the door.” Yan Xin immediately pointed out two teams composed of pure speed-type abilities, and took the lead in exploring the path.

Those three zombies have not left here for half a step since the end of the world. They are completely ordinary first-level zombies with no experience in fighting at all.

Before the convoy arrived, there was a battle with mutant plants and zombie animals, so all the zombie animals that might exist nearby should have been attracted over. This way, the vicinity of the warehouse is clean and there was nothing.

Reconnaissance quickly found out the situation inside, and after confirming the safety, the team dominated by abilities entered the warehouse and began to move things out. These days, underground bunkers can’t keep them safe. God knows if they will be destroyed by earth zombies or broken into by mutant plants? It’s much more dangerous than being on the ground.

Boxes of weapons and ammunition were transported out. After hurriedly checking to make sure that they were not damp and could be used, they were immediately loaded onto various vehicles.

After the weapons were in hand, the convoy immediately retreated, returned to the clearing they had parked before, and started to distribute weapons under Yan Xin’s command.

It should be fortunate that this is a rare time when there is no rain after the end of the world, otherwise, even if these weapon boxes are sealed tight, there is a possibility that they will get wet.

After distributing the weapons, the people in charge of each car pulled over to hold a small meeting for 40 to 50 minutes alone.

When the two non-commissioned officers in charge of the the vehicles returned, the first sentence they said made the whole car stunned for a long time. It took a while before they came back to their senses from hearing – “The leader decided to let each car go assemble their own special weapons and ammunition.”
