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

After getting up early the next morning, Fang Hao headed to the kitchen to make breakfast, while He Zizhong studied his abilities in the courtyard.

He has seen wind ability users in action before in his previous life. Low-level wind abilities could only create miniature hurricanes smaller than the size of a palm, and was too weak to toss zombies away. Among elemental abilities, wind was the least lethal…

But fortunately, a person with wind abilities could combine it with themselves to speed up their bodies, lighten their footsteps, and so on. But it basically did not differ from speed abilities, so it was not favored at first.

Until he heard that someone in the base upgraded their abilities to Level 2. Although it was unsure if the news was true or false, the vast majority of people in the base firmly believed elemental abilities were powerful, especially after being upgraded, and are by no means comparable to those ‘ordinary’ abilities.

He Zizhong recalled hearing that once a wind ability user reached the second level, they are able to send out a wind blade. And it seems before he died… he did send one out?

Standing in the yard, trying to gather his strength, He Zizhong could feel the energy in his body, and a light blue and transparent whirlwind condensed around his body, seeming to envelop his entire person. Seeing a chair temporarily placed in the courtyard not far away, the condensed wind curtain suddenly turned into a small wind blade, making a terrifying “swish” and leaving countless large and small scars on the chair.

“…Level 2?” He Zizhong raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn’t expect that his initial ability had reached Level 2?!

His fever lasted for half a year…Although the time after rebirth was shortened a lot because of the space’s well water, it was also longer than ordinary people’s fever. Was this the reason why some people had second-level abilities?

Indeed! If the fever lasted longer, the higher the level after the ability is awakened, could explain why someone could raise their ability to level two without discovering the effect of the crystal nucleus!

He Zizhong breathed a sigh of relief and began to test his other power – the gold ability.

He hadn’t heard of such an ability in his previous life, but it was normal. In his previous life, he had been situated in that tiny one-acre plot of land in city F1The actual words either meant 1 mu split 3 ways, 1/3 of a mu, or 1.75 mu… and not knowing which one, I took the middle ground.. Later, after arriving the base in city A, he was also part of the laboring masses at the bottom. Then, not long after joining the overlord team, he was betrayed and wanted, and his knowledge was naturally lacking.

The gold ability, just like gold itself – was indestructible.

He Zizhong could attach energy to any part of his body. Similarly, because the ability was already level two, he could also attach energy to the weapon in his hand, similar to internal force in martial arts. Even with a branch, he could express a martial artist’s heroic spirit.

It was a pity that although the ability could also be wrapped around small stones, once a stone is shot out and thrown more than five meters away from his body, the ability will completely disappear.

Not to mention the idea of ​​mixing the two abilities – He Zizhong had never thought of it before, but if gold abilities were wrapped in the wind blade to attack… the attack power should not be too exaggerated!

Regrettably, with his current level, it seems that he is not able to do that yet.

“The meal is ready.”

Hearing the sound from the house, He Zizhong, who had consumed his abilities by 70-80% couldn’t help but smile. Having someone thinking about him was great.

Fang Hao made a lot of porridge2Technically “congee”, but porridge is more universal and not all varieties here are rice-based.. Millet mung bean porridge, pumpkin porridge, eight-treasure porridge, purple rice porridge, three black porridge, preserved egg and lean meat porridge, barley and red bean porridge, fish slice porridge, chicken porridge, salty rice porridge…

As long as he could think of it, as long as there were materials at home, he would make a big pot!

When the two of them collected supplies along the way, they collected a lot of pots that were nearly one meter deep and specially used to make soup! Now, they were all filled with cooked porridge and placed in the basement.

According to Fang Hao, they already had a stock of staple foods, and there were many varieties that could be eaten for a long time. On the contrary, when it came to porridge and soups, there was almost none. This morning, he focused on all kinds of porridge. In the afternoon and evening, he will cook a few large buckets of various kinds of soup…

Anyway, the two of them have nothing to do for the time being, and they don’t have to travel far. He is willing to do it, and He Zizhong is willing to accompany him to do it slowly.

After breakfast, the two left the space. The situation in the community outside was similar to the previous two days, but they could see that more vehicles coming and going in the community.

After checking the monitors and confirming that no one had been there in the morning, He Zizhong and Fang Hao decided to go out again to explore the situation around the temporary base.

The two drove out and found that there were many more people going out for adventure early in the morning. Many were active near the canteen neglected by the military, hoping to find some food to bring home. Some other people turned their attention to luxury goods like gold shops. Regrettably, they came late; He Zizhong and Fang Hao had already visited such places yesterday.

Hearing a few people cursing at the gate of a gold shop not far away, Fang Hao couldn’t look at them with a smile. The shop was also visited by the two of them yesterday.

Cars driving to certain special areas will be stopped by military personnel, such as the school used as a temporary military base, the hospital that was blocked for clearing, or the construction site where bodies were burned.

Their goal at the moment was to enter the construction site. After all, it was the place where almost all the zombies killed in the entire safe zone were burned!

However, when the two went there, there was still smoke inside. Countless vehicles were coming and going, carrying zombies, and soldiers armed with guns were on guard at the door—the current disease causes, principles, and transmission methods were not yet clear. Outsiders were naturally not allowed to walk around in such high-risk areas.

The temporary base currently only allowed people to enter and not to leave. Even those who want to enter the temporary base have to undergo a 24-hour test to confirm that they have not become zombies before they are allowed to enter.

Therefore, although people in the temporary security zone could come inside, they were unable to go out to search for supplies in farther places.

He Zizhong drove away from the place where the corpse was burned and drove towards the villa area. Although the area delineated by the base was not as large as in He Zizhong’s memory, the most important places have been enclosed.

At this moment, some of the soldiers in the base were cleaning the remaining zombies in the residential area, and the rest were around the hospital – there was the hardest hit area, and the number of zombies was so large that it makes one’s scalp numb.

Fortunately, those zombies were stuck in the hospital because the gate of the hospital was blocked by several rear-end cars.

The two confirmed the situation outside, and knew that there was no way to get close to the place where the corpse was burned.

Fang Hao continued to stay in the kitchen, making various soups and stews. He Zizhong took out the cart again – he found out that many of the various fruits were climbing on the shelves in the yard were ripe.

At the beginning, in order to complete the goods and grafted various grape seedlings, he bought two of each. Today, kyoho, rose fragrance, and beauty fingers3a list of variety of grapes were mostly mature. In addition, there were some grapes that said to be used exclusively for winemaking, most of which he had not even heard of.

In addition to grapes, some cantaloupes, melons, cucumbers, and gourds were also mature. He Zizhong took out the ladder and selected the ones that were fully mature on the vines and cut them out one by one with scissors.

The two of them were busy for half a day, and Fang Hao finally completed making all the food he could think of. Although the same kind of food made with the materials in the space should taste better, he served several different ones so He Zizhong could have multiple delicacies to try. As from making soups in the afternoon, he used three ovens to make flatbreads, grilled beef, and daozhabing…

After He Zizhong collected the ripe fruits, he found out speechlessly that there were more things in the underground storage. From meat and vegetable flatbreads, Mexican-style beef burritos, and freshly baked daozhabing that were still warm.

Well, it’s his hobby, and the two of them didn’t lack ingredients. There were even dozens of ovens, baking pans, pots, and pans from the supermarket in the space.

Because he made barbecued meat to sandwich within flatbreads, Fang Hao happily decided to have teppanyaki for dinner.

The two moved the tools and materials under the grape racks in the yard, and used bamboo sticks to pierce the various vegetables produced from the space, plus some collected meat and soy products, and brush the ingredients with Fang Hao’s specially created sauce. Eaten with beer… their day would definitely make people who were still in dire straits outside want to tear them apart.

“An, another mutant zombie!”

“Let them hold on! The flamethrower… where’s the grenade gun?!”

“Ah!”

“Rush out! Rush out!”

A difficult battle was unfolding near the hospital. The primary zombies were easy to deal with. They were not too threatening except that they were stronger, not tired, and their teeth and nails were extremely sharp.

Even ordinary people could deal with these zombies by themselves after being familiar with their behavior.

When the army went to clean up the situation in the hospital it was possible to close the door and beat the dog.4as in, easy to wipe out all the zombies

However, because there was a large number of medical and pharmaceutical equipment in the hospital, it was decided that the zombies should be taken out of the hospital itself and wiped out in the courtyard outside. Therefore, the army decided to use the sound sensitivity of zombies to lead them out of the building and gradually clear them.

The original idea was solid, and it went smoothly at the beginning. But it didn’t take long for a mutant zombie to suddenly rush into the crowd, causing great chaos in an instant.

After the initial period of rigidity, the zombies have now become more flexible. They moved faster, and their strength and explosive power were more exaggerated. But no matter how flexible the movements of the zombies were, if there was only one, it would not have any effect on the overall situation. But what was unexpected was that two extremely flexible zombies rushed into the crowd one after another, causing chaos in the formation and directly injuring or killing thirty to forty soldiers!
