Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Six: Blood Crystal “Farm”

“In the future, if you encounter strangers who attack you first, you should fight back directly without asking me, understand?” Lin Jiayao gently rubbed the back of Huayibai’s head with Goldie’s tentacles and explained softly, “This is called self-defense.”

“Um… yes…” Huayibai, in Lin Jiayao’s arms, narrowed her eyes slightly, and the giant hand of mycelium behind her pressed down sharply, then slowly dragged back, leaving only a pool of thick blood on the ground.

Lin Jiayao didn’t care about this kind of killing, and she wasn’t interested in investigating whether these people were “good” or “evil”. She came here with her own mission and goals. Anyone who stood in her way would be regarded as an obstacle and directly eliminated.

It wasn’t that she was cold-blooded, but because the other party had hurt Huayibai, and now Lin Jiayao regarded Huayibai as family.

She naturally wouldn’t be soft-hearted towards those who hurt her family.

However, just as Lin Jiayao spread the green flying insects, she saw another convoy in the distance.

Were they together?

“Crack—”

Lin Jiayao’s pupils rotated, and several golden lights shot out from her eyeballs, and instantly stopped in front of the convoy.

“Whoosh—”

Several flying insects with a golden metallic sheen made loud, noisy, even screeching sounds and hovered in front of them, which caused panic in the convoy, the accelerator was stepped on, and the harsh sound of burning tires sounded.

But soon, the convoy seemed to be calmed down by someone, and a woman with her hands raised high came down from the passenger seat of the leading car.

“We have no malice, please don’t hurt us!” The blond woman said with her hands raised high, “It wasn’t us who attacked you just now, our team didn’t do anything, and we don’t know the people in the team in front!”

This wasn’t that they wanted to be “fake teammates”, but they had to say it for self-preservation, and they really didn’t join the battle.

Lin Jiayao, who was controlling the golden flying insects to hover in front of the convoy and had already propped up her body with tentacles, leaned over and looked at Huayibai and asked:

“Did they hit you?”

Before, in the training ground, in order to conquer the human-headed Hive Queen, Lin Jiayao didn’t know how many times she had controlled Goldie to die, so her control of various skills of Goldie naturally improved.

Like the golden flying insects that she couldn’t control completely before, now Lin Jiayao could speed them up while controlling their turns and emergency stops.

This was simply irresistible for those below B-rank who didn’t have strong blood crystal defenses. Unless they were in a tank, they would be “one-insect-headed” when they met.

“No.” Huayibai, who was holding the tentacle next to her, raised her head and looked at Lin Jiayao, shaking her head.

Huayibai was still very honest. If she was hit, she was hit, if she wasn’t, she wasn’t, she wouldn’t fabricate facts.

“Yes.” Lin Jiayao nodded, and those golden flying insects vibrated their wings and flew back behind Lin Jiayao, hanging on her blonde hair and standing by, like golden headdresses.

She did not intend to continue to waste time, because she also recognized that this team seemed to be the team that provided her with information last time. If they were sensible, they would not continue to disturb her.

Lin Jiayao held Huayibai’s small hand with her tentacles, looked around, compared the Hive Zombie occupation map in her mind, chose an Extraction Point with the most Hive Zombies around, and was ready to let Huayibai carry her there.

This time, the extraction time was only two hours. Lin Jiayao had to harvest as many Hive Zombie blood crystals as possible within these two hours.

“Ch—”

With Lin Jiayao’s instructions, the blood-red mycelium blanket under Huayibai slowly contracted and condensed into a giant cocoon, and the things inside the cocoon were quickly taking shape.

Soon, the mycelium cocoon collapsed inward and was completely absorbed.

And the giant insect inside the cocoon also revealed its hideous appearance.

Lin Jiayao wriggled her tentacles, held Huayibai’s hand with her tentacles, and drilled into the empty abdomen from the open armor plates of the giant insect. Then, this black-winged giant insect, like a flapping-wing machine, vibrated its huge wings and lifted its huge body into the air.

Those green flying insects that had been summoned tightly clung to the giant insect, adding green fluorescent bumps to the giant insect, making it look even more terrifying.

The human team below seemed to be shouting something, but Lin Jiayao ignored it and directly let Huayibai control the flying insect and fly towards the next Hive Zombie occupation point.

“Buzz—”

Even inside the giant insect, she could hear the loud noise, but this “model” of flying insect was the fastest kind. In this regard, Lin Jiayao still pursued efficiency.

This kind of flight consumed a lot of Huayibai’s energy. Fortunately, this was Wisconsin. As long as there was a way to kill Hive Zombies, there were enough blood crystals.

Soon, Huayibai carried Lin Jiayao and arrived at the Hive Zombie occupation point closest to the Extraction Point route.

“Buzz—”
“Boom—”

This time, Lin Jiayao did not carefully probe outside, but directly let Huayibai control the flying insect and crash into the center of the Hive Zombie territory.

Such a violent noise immediately disturbed the “Hive Queen” in the territory.

With a loud wail, countless zombies poured out from the buildings, facing the rising sun, and rushed towards Lin Jiayao.

Now with Huayibai here, it was obvious that Lin Jiayao didn’t need to do anything about cleaning up the zombies.

After getting Lin Jiayao’s approval, Huayibai’s original giant insect shell instantly turned into a pool of “blood”, “sprinkled” on the ground.

These things that looked like fluid were actually wriggling mycelium. The mycelium quickly spread a layer of mycelium blanket on the ground and continued to expand outwards.

Every time a zombie was dragged into the mycelium blanket, the zombie would be “sink” like falling into a swamp, wrapped by the mycelium blanket, becoming nutrients for the mycelium blanket to expand faster.

“Boom—”

Soon, this wanton sweep angered the “Hive Queen” in the territory. After it smashed through a wall blocking the alley, it rushed directly to the main road.

It was a “Hive Queen” about the same height as Green Fatty, but unlike Green Fatty, it did not have translucent gelatinous skin and a bloated figure. On the contrary, its body was as slender as a Hunter, wrapped in a black hard shell.

The biggest difference between it and the Hunter was that it did not have giant claws that could be used to tear open prey, nor did it have anti-joint legs that were good at running and jumping.

The biggest difference was that its spine, like a real bee, grew a huge oval “abdomen” connected to the back of the body, and even the color scheme was similar.

The translucent gelatinous skin wrapped the light yellow pus and the snow-white brain connected by the red blood crystal threads inside, a circle of black hive, a circle of translucent gelatinous and brain.

It looked like it was carrying a huge oval cake with layers of cream and chocolate.

Oh, there was also a little strawberry jam in it as a connection and embellishment.

At the moment she saw the zombie, whether it was because of A4’s influence or something, Lin Jiayao subconsciously imagined its taste…

“Huh…”

Lin Jiayao took a slow breath and let herself stop thinking about these things.

Besides, although these Hive Zombies had similar abilities, their forms were different, and they were all ugly in their own way.

They looked very random.

There was a feeling that since they didn’t rely on their bodies to attack, they just grew randomly.

Fortunately, Goldie had evolved Crystal-absorbing Tentacles, and could differentiate into tentacles to store blood crystals, which looked at least not so disgusting.

That Hive Zombie obviously had some low intelligence because it had devoured a large number of brains, probably similar to a two- or three-year-old human child.

After rushing out and seeing the mycelium that almost covered the entire street and the surrounding buildings, it froze in a very human manner.

Although it didn’t have any expressions, its stagnant movements clearly showed that its limited brain capacity couldn’t think about what the scene in front of it was.

So, it simply gave up thinking and began to directly shake the huge “hive” behind it. Several layers of the hive shook out hundreds of pale golden and pale green flying insects.

But before those shaken insects could vibrate their wings, the “Hive Queen”, along with the surrounding insects, were all covered by shadows.

A giant net woven from mycelium fell from between the tall buildings, covering it from above as easily as paper.

It was like magic. After the blood cloth composed of mycelium fell, it directly and gently landed without any hindrance, as if it had not touched anything, and there were no creatures inside.

The blood cloth covering the ground turned into a new mycelium blanket and began to spread further.

And between the mycelium blankets, some “transportation pipelines” almost as thick as an arm gradually began to form, constantly extracting energy back.

Some flesh and blood had precipitated blood crystals in the transport pipes. These slightly glowing blood crystals were transported in the transport pipes, and the blood crystals below could even be seen through the thin skin of the transport pipes.

And Lin Jiayao, who was located in the center of the mycelium blanket, was looking at the front where these transport pipes converged, constantly spitting out small pieces of blood crystals.

Good guy, the efficiency was directly maxed out.

With Lin Jiayao as a “spiritual barrier” to protect Huayibai, facing these Hive Zombies that relied on “sea of corpses” and “sea of insects” tactics was simply a one-sided slaughter.

This was the terror of “invasive species”.

While watching the blood crystals pile up into a small pile in front of her, Lin Jiayao gently scratched Huayibai’s chin with her tentacles.

The feeling of watching the blood crystals continuously gather in front of her… was really stress-relieving.

Relying on Huayibai’s extremely high efficiency, Lin Jiayao quickly harvested the zombies in this area.

It was a pity that Huayibai’s mycelium spread and her own blood crystal capacity had a limit. Whether it was forming a line or a surface, the total amount of mycelium was basically fixed.

When she was surrounding an area of Chongyu City before, Huayibai just used mycelium threads to surround the area, and could not form a surface covering the entire area.

Lin Jiayao had also asked Huayibai. For her, this kind of body division was not unlimited.

Every time she divided, it was equivalent to Huayibai giving birth to herself once, but these mycelia all shared the same consciousness. Every time she divided, the spirit of a single individual would become weaker.

This was why Huayibai was almost controlled by the human-headed Hive Queen in the system’s training ground simulation.

Unfortunately, Lin Jiayao did not have a way to help others increase their mental power now. If there was, she could assign a Huayibai to each of her zombies.

It was equivalent to no matter where she went, as long as she brought nearly fifty blood crystals, she would have an absolutely obedient B-rank combat power.

But thinking about how to improve Huayibai was for later. Lin Jiayao didn’t continue to dwell on this matter, and began to direct Huayibai to constantly change locations, eroding the Hive Queen’s territory around the Extraction Point.

Because there was no existence like the human-headed Hive Queen, even after harvesting nearly five Hive Queen territories, Lin Jiayao only harvested about fifty blood crystals.

Seeing that there were only 10 minutes left before extraction, Lin Jiayao could only resist the urge to continue, and let Huayibai carry her to the Extraction Point.

Wisconsin was like a huge “farmland”, and there was still nearly half of the “land” waiting for Lin Jiayao to harvest.

She just didn’t know if there were any other cities with unique zombie structures like Milwaukee. Maybe she could go to nearby cities to have a look. Maybe there were also Hive Queen strongholds in the cities of Wisconsin.

She had already started to consider whether to put Hive Zombies in other uninhabited cities, let them gather zombies for a period of time, and then go up to harvest, to achieve sustainable blood crystal acquisition.

If Lin Jiayao remembered correctly, below Milwaukee was Chicago, which was also a big city before the apocalypse. After hesitating for a while, Lin Jiayao still decided to avoid the area below.

In densely populated cities, the probability of high-level zombies appearing was also high, and similarly, the probability of high-level Awakened appearing was also high.

In order to avoid possible trouble, Lin Jiayao still decided to sweep the other places in Wisconsin first.

What Lin Jiayao didn’t know was that her slightly cautious decision really helped her avoid some trouble that wasn’t big or small.

【Extracting: 7.3】

Carrying a large number of blood crystals harvested by Huayibai, Lin Jiayao contentedly extracted from Milwaukee.

After slowly opening her eyes, Lin Jiayao saw Huayibai, who was also lying next to her.

But she didn’t see her sister’s figure immediately.

When she turned her eyes and looked next to the library, she saw her sister hanging on the vines on the roof in a strange posture.

Her sister’s hands were grabbing the vines on the left and right sides, clenching them alternately, and supporting her body horizontally.

From the sweat on her body, it could be seen that she seemed to have been secretly exercising for a long time.

Seemingly noticing that her sister was awake, Lin Xiwan quickly shook her legs and pulled the vines to swing.

After swinging for a while, it seemed that she couldn’t resist her sister’s suspicious eyes. Lin Xiwan directly let go of her hands and jumped down, and said with an embarrassed smile:

“Ah ha ha, Yao, you’re awake, I was playing on the swing… Do you want to play?”

Usually, her sister would sleep for at least three hours. Lin Xiwan didn’t expect her to wake up so early this time. Just when she was about to end her exercise and erase the traces, she was caught red-handed.

Looking at her sister who was already squatting in front of her, with dodging eyes and looking a little aggrieved, Lin Jiayao couldn’t bear to say anything more, but just sighed softly.

“I just don’t want you to overwork yourself…” Lin Jiayao said, not disliking the sweat on her sister’s face, and reached out to wipe the sweat from her sister’s forehead.

“If I don’t work hard… how can I stand in front of you and protect you with confidence?” Lin Xiwan grabbed her sister’s hand and kissed it gently, “Don’t worry, Yao, I know my body.”

Just as Lin Jiayao was about to say something, she suddenly looked at Huayibai’s position.

At this time, Huayibai, who was lying down, had opened her eyes at some point, and was staring at her.

Without Huayibai’s reminder, just by using the green flying insects distributed at the border, Lin Jiayao also noticed.

The first batch of people from Qingzhou University Camp who took off were about to land.

Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Five: Wisconsin

This time, Lin Jiayao chose to log into No. 3 Goldie first, and did not log into No. 2 to “move the position”.

Because Lin Jiayao thought that if she logged into No. 2 and got lost, it might waste several hours.

It was better to log into No. 3 Goldie directly. After all, No. 2 lacked effective means of “self-destruction”.

It was still quite difficult to make a building-tree guard self-destruct in the vascular network.

It was better to leave it for a while, and then she could use it to practice with her sister, let her sister “eliminate” No. 2, free up a slot for herself, and let her sister practice her hand.

Thinking this way, Lin Jiayao’s consciousness moved from the No. 2 building-tree guard to the No. 3 Goldie, and her consciousness clicked in.

……

Wisconsin, dawn was just breaking.

At this time, the Wisconsin underground reserve station camp was undergoing a fierce debate.

This debate was caused by the events of a few days ago, and finally divided into two factions.

They could be simply called the “stay-at-home faction” and the “go-out faction”.

The classification was so simple because the point they were arguing about was just whether to go out of the reserve station.

“BOSS, you would rather believe them than someone who has experienced it firsthand?” Monica, who was handcuffed, gnawed on the canned ham forked by the person next to her, and said sullenly.

Monica was a member of the “go-out faction”, and this confinement was also due to the news brought back by her team.

A few days ago, Monica’s team claimed to have encountered a powerful Awakened who could even control Hive Zombies.

That Awakened even asked Monica about the distribution map of the Hive Queen zombies, and then went to the most dangerous forbidden zone.

It really looked like the style of the “Hand of Freedom”, free and wild.

But after Monica’s team came back and reported these things, they were immediately handcuffed and isolated for observation, which made Monica so angry that she had been cursing for several days.

It wasn’t until a terrifying battle that lasted for several days that the reserve station camp completely chose to close.

From the perspective of the people in this camp, the battle lasted for several days. They didn’t know that the battle was divided into two waves, and each time it ended very quickly.

Now it was the third day since the battle ended. The calm outside also made the camp have differences on whether to continue the blockade.

Although the materials stored in the camp were enough for them to seal themselves off for a long time, most people were already about to go crazy.

And Monica was undoubtedly the strongest opponent among these people. At least others had freed their hands, but she couldn’t even move her hands, and she was almost mad with anger.

“I told you I wasn’t affected by the Hive Queen, fuck, what are you laughing at, Jack, one day I’ll stuff a zombie’s dick into your ass…”

Seeing that Monica was really angry, no one in the camp dared to continue to laugh, and they all pursed their lips.

At this time, the camp BOSS, who was wearing a military uniform, also reached out and pinched his big beard.

If they continued to be so depressed in this dark underground reserve station, let alone these subordinates, he would be a little unbearable.

And there had been no movement outside for several days, maybe the person had already left, and they didn’t need to be so vigilant.

As for why Monica and her team were handcuffed, in addition to excluding the possibility that Monica was affected by the Hive Queen, it was also to exclude the possibility that this team was brainwashed by the “Headshavers”.

In addition to the “Hand of Freedom”, there was also an extreme anti-human organization “Headshavers” in America, entrenched in the home base of Illinois.

The “Headshavers” were not an organization that existed at the beginning of the apocalypse, but a terrorist organization that suddenly emerged in the past year.

It seemed to be established by a B-rank Indian who was good at brainwashing, and quickly expanded in Illinois by brainwashing the leaders of various camps.

And their logo was also obvious, that was, the scarred scalp… People who joined the Headshavers would have part of their scalp shaved off, so the people in this organization basically had a piece of their head missing hair, which was easy to distinguish.

And Illinois was just below Wisconsin.

As for why the Wisconsin camp had been able to preserve itself for so many years, it was precisely because the Hive Queen’s territory almost completely occupied the border of Wisconsin, forming a natural protective barrier.

And the junction of Wisconsin and Illinois was where the “forbidden zone” was located. Even the Headshavers could not cross it.

Through the radio, they had long known that the Headshavers had given up attacking Wisconsin, but instead used Chicago as a transit point and had been expanding to Michigan, controlling Detroit.

Their various evil deeds slowly reached the ears of the Hand of Freedom. A few weeks ago, the Hand of Freedom, which had collected enough anti-human evidence, officially declared war on the Headshavers.

But at this time, the Headshavers had already developed into a behemoth, and it was obviously not so easy to shake.

Therefore, the camp BOSS suspected that this time Monica’s team might have encountered an Awakened from the “Hand of Freedom”, or even a person from the “Headshavers”.

Maybe they had finally found a way to pass through the forbidden zone…

After all, controlling the Hive Queen, it was estimated that only the crazy leader of the Headshavers had the ability to do it.

Before the situation outside was clear, he naturally couldn’t unlock the handcuffs.

But now, after almost a week of getting along, Monica and her team showed no signs of being mentally controlled. They ate, cursed, and were very spirited.

This made the reserve station camp BOSS have a trace of doubt that he might have misjudged.

Finally, in Monica’s cursing, the BOSS put down his hand pinching his big beard and snapped his fingers.

“Okay, stop arguing. Now recruit two teams to go out and see the situation, go to the edge of the forbidden area to see. All the gains from this trip belong to their respective teams.”

Hearing that they were going to the vicinity of the forbidden area, several exploration teams were a little hesitant, but Monica, even though she was handcuffed, straightened her waist and raised her hand from behind.

She had finally been able to regain her freedom, and she would not miss this opportunity.

The edge of the forbidden area was the edge of the forbidden area. She wanted to prove to everyone that the information she brought back was correct, and it was the people of the Hand of Freedom who came to help them!

She didn’t quite believe that the mysterious Awakened she met that day was a bad person. Yes, it was based on her intuition.

After a long time, another team that was not afraid of death also raised their hands, and then no other team wanted to go out.

“Okay, then you two teams will complete this exploration mission, help them unlock the handcuffs, the specific details of the mission…”

The BOSS ordered to help Monica’s team members unlock the handcuffs, and began to tell them the main points of this mission.

Soon, the team that received the task spent more than ten minutes forming a team and confirming the weapons to be carried. The closed door of the reserve station slowly opened, and four armored jeeps drove out of the reserve station.

“Fuck… it feels good to be in the car…” Monica pressed down the car window, cheered at the rising sun outside, and then stretched, put her long legs on the top of the storage box, and lay down to blow the wind.

The distance to the forbidden area was still very far, and she could rest in the car for about half an hour.

“George, call me when we get there.” Monica put on her sunglasses, crossed her hands on her chest to support her breasts, and slowly fell asleep.

She had been handcuffed for the past few days, and it was difficult to fall asleep. Now that she had this opportunity, she had to rest well.

But Monica had just entered dreamland for more than ten minutes, and their armored car suddenly braked sharply, not knowing what it hit, and also let Monica, who was lying in the passenger seat, lift her legs and slide to the bottom of the car.

“Fuck…” The awakened Monica found that her posture was stuck between the storage box and the seat cushion. After cursing helplessly, she was pulled out with the help of the team members behind.

“What happened? George?”

Monica asked while loading her gun.

“I don’t know, the car in front suddenly braked sharply… Hey, they got out of the car!”

From their field of vision, it could be seen that almost all the members of the convoy in front had gotten out of the car fully armed.

They were still thousands of meters away from the location of the forbidden area, why did they stop now?

Because the view was blocked by the armored car in front, after making a gesture, Monica’s team also got out of the car with guns.

As soon as she got out of the car, Monica’s pupils shrank slightly.

This…

What the hell…

Was this?

It could be seen that hundreds of meters away, the road leading to the front had been completely blocked by blood-red mycelium intertwined between the left and right buildings. It was impossible to see through the mycelium what was happening inside.

It was as if these mycelia were guarding something inside.

And in front of these intertwined mycelia like a jungle, there was also a strange white-haired little girl standing, opening her arms between the mycelium, revealing the small tiger teeth at the corners of her mouth… seeming to be threatening and expelling.

The cute appearance could not hide the danger and terror of the background behind the little girl, and the members of the team in front had already taken out Molotov cocktails and were preparing to advance.

Are they stupid?!

Monica felt the alarm bells ringing wildly in her heart, and her eyelids twitched wildly, as if something bad was about to happen. She quickly shouted: “Don’t, don’t go forward!”

Before the apocalypse, Monica always thought that the cannon fodder in those apocalypse movies who didn’t listen to advice and had to act tough were very stupid, but in fact, after the real zombie apocalypse came, Monica found that there were actually quite a few such fools.

Some things, in Monica’s eyes, were dangerous, but in the eyes of fools, they could only see blood crystals.

“Boom—”

A rocket-propelled grenade with a tail flame was fired, directly hitting the little girl’s direction.

“Nice! Accurate!”

“Yo hoo!”

The team in front had already cheered, because they saw that after the rocket was fired, those mycelia began to shrink rapidly.

They had not encountered zombies other than Hive Zombies, or even fungal zombies.

But they had white varieties here, and they would only infect zombies and would not infect people. After infection, the characteristics were that their hearing became particularly good.

Here, this was called “Listener”.

Obviously, they had just regarded this all-white zombie as a “Listener”, and the red mycelium behind it was regarded as white mycelium filled with blood crystals.

Zombies that were not in the “Hive Queen” territory could be killed at will. This had always been the camp’s survival rule. After all, it had not yet reached the Hive Queen zombie territory.

In this regard, Monica’s evaluation was.

“A bunch of idiots!”

Monica quickly directed her team members to get in the car, and then let the driver put it in reverse and step on the accelerator.

Monica’s two armored vehicles rubbed out white smoke and quickly retreated, quickly moving away from the front convoy by almost hundreds of meters, completely drawing a clear line.

Monica knew very well that this entire area was the direction that the mysterious powerhouse was going. She didn’t know where the mysterious powerhouse was stationed, but in her opinion, nothing abnormal here could be touched.

Maybe it was something left by that big shot?

Soon, Monica felt fortunate for her caution…

Because, the mycelium that had just shrunk turned into a huge blood-red giant claw, and slapped it directly from the sky towards the team in front.

“Boom—”

The entire street was “submerged” by the blood-red giant hand, and all the people and cars were buried inside and vanished.

And the contraction of the mycelium finally allowed Monica to see what the mycelium was protecting.

It was a familiar, pale golden tentacle.

“Sure enough…” Monica slowly relaxed in her heart, but then tightened.

Relaxed because she knew that the mysterious powerhouse who manipulated the golden tentacle Hive Queen would not kill indiscriminately.

Nervous because the team in front, strictly speaking, was with Monica…

…….

“Boom—”

Lin Jiayao, who had just logged in, heard a rumbling sound before she could even open her eyes.

Before Goldie extracted, she was in a hurry, and directly let Huayibai turn into a giant flying insect and carry Lin Jiayao to the Extraction Point.

After extracting, Lin Jiayao did not let Huayibai have other actions, but just let her be vigilant around.

After all, Huayibai was an “invasive creature” here. Without Lin Jiayao, there were no natural enemies, but without Lin Jiayao, it was hard to say.

But as soon as Lin Jiayao logged in, she saw Huayibai’s hand smash forward.

Because the front was submerged by the mycelium “ocean”, Lin Jiayao didn’t know what Huayibai was fighting with.

“Huayibai?”

Lin Jiayao called out softly.

It seemed that she heard Lin Jiayao’s voice, and a white figure covered in ash drilled out of the mycelium giant hand in front, and pounced towards Lin Jiayao’s arms.

As soon as she pounced into Lin Jiayao’s arms, Huayibai burst into tears.

“Mommy…wuwuwu… they burned Huayibai with fire wuwuwu…”

“Okay, okay… don’t cry, don’t cry…” Lin Jiayao patted Huayibai’s head while looking in the direction buried by the mycelium giant hand, and narrowed her eyes slightly.

She knew very well how much Huayibai hated fire and how much she was afraid of fire.

But Lin Jiayao could still feel that Huayibai did not kill those people, those people were still alive.

After all, Lin Jiayao had told Huayibai a long time ago not to kill people casually except for the people of the Voodoo Cult.

It seemed that she had to teach Huayibai again later…

Except for the people of the Voodoo Cult, anyone who hurt her could also be killed.

Especially those who burned her with fire.

Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Four: Leg Massage p2

At this time, many people also noticed this scene, and also saw Wan Zi and the guard leaving in a hurry.

After a few minutes, someone exclaimed: “Damn, Voodoo Cult’s car!”

This exclamation almost scared everyone to lie down subconsciously.

They were on the second floor. If they were not careful, they would easily be attacked by snipers.

But the boy standing by the window, after carefully observing the school gate in the heavy rain, frowned and said:

“Sister Wanzi… went over.”

“The people of the Voodoo Cult seem to be kneeling over there…”

Hearing the boy’s words, gradually, people who were bold began to lean towards the door.

“Damn, it’s true.”

“What are they doing?”

“I don’t know…”

At this time, Wan Zi did not know that she had been watched.

She braved the heavy rain, walked to the school gate, and looked at the row of seven or eight Voodoo Cult youths kneeling at the door.

Most of these youths had tattoos, but their hair had been washed away by the heavy rain, like drowned rats.

And not far in front of them, there were neatly stacked rifles and other weapons, all of which had been soaked in water.

“Are you from the Voodoo Cult?”

Wan Zi stood in front of this row of kneeling people and shouted in the heavy rain.

After a while, a man with a golden necklace raised his head and moved his mouth with a lip ring and said:

“Yes, we are all from the Voodoo Cult, but not now.”

“You’ve changed your mind, right.” Wan Zi looked at him and smiled.

Seeing Wan Zi’s smile, the man also smiled awkwardly.

Now all the convoys of the Voodoo Cult outside had disintegrated. Without the BOSS and the radio, they were like headless flies, flying around, becoming a completely scattered sand.

Wan Zi took a few steps to the side, pulled out the FN-57 tucked in the waist of a guard beside her, unlocked the safety and “clicked” to load it.

She quickly walked to the man with the golden key necklace, put the pistol on his head.

“How many years have you joined the Voodoo Cult?”

The man felt the muzzle on his head, his mouth opened and closed, and finally said in a low voice:

“One year.”

“Bang—”

A bullet directly penetrated the man’s head, taking away his body temperature. The blood and brain matter were instantly washed away by the heavy rain, leaving no trace.

Then, Wan Zi put the gun on the head of the second person kneeling in front of her, and asked softly: “How many years?”

“Half… half a year…”

“Bang—”

“How many years?”

“I only joined for a month, I was forced, a month, I didn’t do anything…”

“Bang—”

“How many years?”

“I was caught by them on the road…”

“Bang—”

The remaining three people saw this scene and widened their eyes in horror. They could clearly see that the woman in front of them didn’t want to leave a single survivor.

It seemed that she noticed the movements of other people preparing to get up and run away, Wan Zi quickly turned the muzzle, “bang bang bang bang” four consecutive shots, taking away the lives of the remaining three people.

“Bang bang bang bang bang…”

Wan Zi, in order, fired one shot at a time at the heads of the Voodoo Cult lying on the ground, until all 20 bullets in the pistol were fired, and then she retracted her right hand holding the gun.

Casually throwing the pistol back to the guard, Wan Zi raised her hands and smoothed her wet short hair back.

“Hang up the corpses,” Wan Zi looked at the guard holding an umbrella, dumbfounded, and pointed to the corpses, and said lightly, “Just as a flag for the people of the organization.”

After speaking, Wan Zi didn’t even look at the corpses on the ground, spit on the ground, and only felt unlucky.

Change your ways? Reform?

Ask the souls under the ground and see if they forgive you.

Anyway, Wan Zi felt that she did not have the qualification to forgive the Voodoo on behalf of others, but she had the ability to send them to the underground to reunite.

Besides, the organization that they were going to was an organization that had destroyed the Voodoo Cult in a high-profile manner. The few pawns she killed could be regarded as a celebration for the new boss who had not yet met.

When Wan Zi returned to the administrative building, she was inevitably greeted with cheers.

Everyone wanted to smash the people of the Voodoo Cult into pieces, and Wan Zi helped them do what they wanted to do.

And all along, Wan Zi had been doing what everyone wanted to do. This was the reason why everyone had always let her be the leader.

The camp people had almost packed up all the supplies they wanted to bring in about two hours, and even the cars that could move had all been parked in the square, just waiting for the people who came to pick them up.

In the next two hours, the expressions of the crowd changed from excitement to nervousness, and almost every minute and every second was torture.

Finally, everyone was almost four hours away.

They stood on the second floor together, nervously looking in the direction of the school gate. The heavy rain covered most of their sight, and they could no longer see clearly whether anyone had come.

Now the walkie-talkie could not be used, and they could not even ask the guard at the door if there was a convoy coming.

After a long while, finally, they heard bursts of buzzing sounds from far to near.

Coming?

The sound was not on the ground…

It came from the sky!!!

“Buzz—”

In the increasingly horrified eyes of everyone, more than a dozen black and red giant insects like flapping-wing machines in the sky flew towards this side.

“Wan… Wan Wan Wan Wan Sister… this is?!”

“I… I I I I… I don’t know?”

“Buzz—”

The huge buzzing sound almost covered the sound of the heavy rain. Several dozen-meter-long flapping-wing giant insects stopped in the center of the school gate and the administrative building, while most of the others stopped on the avenue outside the school gate.

When they folded their wings, at first glance, it was as if a reduced version of the B2 bomber was parked at the school gate in an “elephant walk”!

These were the “personnel” for pick-up?!

What the hell were these!!!

……

“Sister Xi, everyone has been picked up~ Should we send them directly here?”

“Eh? So fast? Um… send them to the ash area first, when can they arrive?”

“Um… about five or six hours?”

“So fast… flying? Controlling that kind of big bug?”

“No, it’s made with the blood crystals from the Voodoo over there…”

“Oh…”

In the “Oasis Area” of Kun City, Lin Jiayao was resting with her sister in the library.

Originally, Lin Jiayao’s blood crystals were almost exhausted due to the upgrade of 【Training Grounds Lv.2】, but fortunately, the bag of blood crystals brought by her sister was used for turnover, so that Lin Jiayao’s blood crystal reserves came to 30 again.

During that time just now, Lin Jiayao and her sister found about a hundred useless success books, and Lin Jiayao put the books in the warehouse and chose to build 【Library Lv.1】.

Anyway, the system only said that books were needed, and did not say what kind of books, it was just right to throw some garbage books in.

And sofas and candles were also fortunately found in this library, and the materials for evolving 【Library Lv.1】 were gathered in one go.

The construction time of 【Library Lv.1】 did not need 12 hours, but it also took 6 hours, just in time to be built at the same time as 【Training Grounds Lv.2】.

And in the next few hours, Lin Jiayao chose to—slack off.

Only by slacking off could she recover her spirit faster and fast forward to the next login.

And while slacking off, Lin Jiayao was not completely idle.

She packed the two B-rank corpses into a 3X3 backpack and stuffed them into the warehouse, preparing to bring some limbs and the scales deducted from the B-rank ray to A4 next time to see if A4 could evolve.

Then… it was just lying on the cleaned sofa, letting her sister help her massage her legs.

Massaging the legs was just a normal operation. Before, in the first camp, she often needed her sister to help her massage her legs.

Otherwise, Lin Jiayao was worried that if one day her legs could really move, but because of lack of massage and muscle atrophy, it would be uncomfortable.

Lin Jiayao also used sap as nutrition to cultivate a large number of green flying insects in Kun City, used to collect materials and food. In a short time, there should be no need to worry about food problems.

The people in this city died early, and the canned food and other materials were still very rich, enough for them and the entire large camp to eat before the next batch of food was planted.

As for Huayibai, she was also sitting quietly aside, controlling more than a dozen “Huayibai Flying Cars” with her mind.

This was a rare leisure time in the apocalypse. After Lin Xiwan finally pinched to her heart’s content, she put down her sister’s rolled up skirt and covered her legs.

Lin Jiayao suspected that the reason why her sister wanted her to wear a skirt was because it was convenient to touch… massage.

As long as her sister liked it, it was just touching her legs, it wouldn’t lose a piece of meat.

The two sisters snuggled together and took a nap. It wasn’t until it started to rain lightly outside that they slowly opened their eyes.

This light rain was normal precipitation for Kun City, which was shrouded in water mist, and there was nothing abnormal.

After waking up in her sister’s arms, Lin Jiayao blinked slightly, feeling that her spirit had almost recovered.

And 【Training Grounds Lv.2】 and 【Library Lv.1】 were almost simultaneously completed in three hours.

During this time, Lin Jiayao could just log in to the building-tree guard to “self-destruct”, and then log in to Goldie to sweep Wisconsin.

The 2nd building-tree guard and the 3rd Goldie were both C-rank, which was not a big consumption for Lin Jiayao now, not to mention that after logging in, 【Library】 and 【Training Grounds】 would be built, which was almost equal to no consumption.

With such a strengthening, it is estimated that it will not be long before logging into B-rank will also become a matter of little consumption.

“Sister, I’m going to sleep for a while.” Lin Jiayao said to her sister who had just woken up.

“Eh… eh? Oh oh… okay.” At first, her sister was a little confused. She habitually rubbed her sister’s face, and then realized that her sister was going to control the zombie in her dream.

“The people from Qingzhou University Camp are also coming soon. Just wake me up before they arrive.” Lin Jiayao looked at her sister and Huayibai, and after instructing, she slowly leaned on the sofa and closed her eyes.

In a piece of darkness, listening to the drizzling rain outside her ears, Lin Jiayao opened the system’s “Login” entry.

Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Four: Leg Massage p1

“Buzz…”
“Hey?”
“Is Sister Wanzi there?”
“…Oh, oh, is Sister Wan Zi there?”

A slightly childish girl’s voice came over the radio, and the first thing she asked was about Wan Zi.

There was no time to worry about whether her wording was professional or not, at least she could be heard.

“It’s the organization that destroyed the Voodoo Cult.” Wan Zi’s voice was a little low. She pressed the intercom button and said to the intercom, “Brother Yang, adjust the frequency, I’ll be right there.”

“Received.”

The intercom transmitted a noisy sound, almost all static. Because of the rain, even the communication quality within the camp was very poor.

“You guys continue to take care of the wounded, I’ll go over there.” Wan Zi instructed the people on the second floor of the administrative building, and then hurried to the other side.

Now on the second floor of the administrative building, there were more than a dozen wounded lying down, and these wounded were all combat personnel.

These wounded were undoubtedly adding insult to injury to the already struggling Qingzhou University Camp. Although the people of the Voodoo Cult had either left or died, the impact they left behind still existed and continued to torture their camp.

Generally speaking, the wounded were not suitable for excessive movement, and it was better to place them on the first floor. The reason why they were carried to the second floor…

The water accumulation on the first floor had already submerged their ankles.

And the heavy rain still showed no sign of stopping.

After arriving at the broadcasting station on the second floor, Wan Zi directly opened the door and walked in.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw that the central position of the broadcasting station had been vacated, and it seemed that it had been prepared for her.

At first, let alone the broadcasting station, even Wan Zi didn’t expect that the Voodoo radio station would call them again. Naturally, there was not much preparation. Even at the beginning, Yang Dan just let Wan Zi listen with a radio outside.

“Hey~ hey? Can you hear me?”

Hearing the girl’s urging voice from the radio, Wan Zi quickly sat in front of the equipment and pressed the call button.

“Hello, I’m Wan Zi, I can hear you, over.”

Worried that the other party could not hear clearly because of the signal, Wan Zi repeated her words twice.

Now the heavy rain had made the camp have to make a choice, no, not a choice, there was only one way.

That was to relocate.

But… where to relocate?

It was estimated that the entire Guangnan Province was in a similar situation. Taking the camp out of the province? They would face unknown and difficulties…

But this radio call gave Wan Zi a glimmer of hope.

Last time, the people on their side had almost said everything they could say, and there should be no “use” value. Why did the other side call her again this time?

It couldn’t be just to say hello…

Before Wan Zi could think too much, the reply from the radio made Wan Zi’s eyes gradually widen.

“I heard~ Sister Wanzi, Sister Xi said thank you very much for the experience you taught last time. This time I want to let you join the reconstruction of the ash area in Kun City…”

“We can provide safe shelter, clean water and enough seeds, and food support until you are self-sufficient. If you agree, I can go and pick you up…”

When she heard the front, Wan Zi’s heart was still generally excited. In fact, she vaguely had a premonition that she would be “recruited”. This delay fulfilled her premonition.

But when she heard that they would pick them up, it really made Wan Zi unable to hold back.

“Can pick up?!” Wan Zi couldn’t help but ask directly.

“Buzz… um? Yes~”

“Buzz… It’s too slow for you to drive, it’s better… Huayibai.”

The reason why she was not so excited before even being recruited was because of the travel problem.

They didn’t have enough vehicles to hold a whole camp. Although the supplies were sufficient, if they traveled long distances, there were not enough cars, and the wounded and the old, weak, sick and disabled could not be taken with them.

If they chose to walk there, it would take too long, and walking increased more risks.

In case of encountering a corpse tide, the convoy might be able to shake it off, but walking basically could only wait for death, and could not survive until the arrival of daytime.

But now, you actually told her that pick-up and drop-off were included?

This was the apocalypse! Not some elementary school field trip. Even Survivor’s Light, when it was in its heyday, did not dare to boast that it could pick up and drop off thousands of miles away…

What could they do?

This was not a question, this was a real doubt that was a little unbelievable.

If this organization could do it, it meant that their comprehensive strength must have surpassed Survivor’s Light and the Voodoo Cult.

Then why did they choose to come out at this point in time?

Was it because the headquarters of Kun City Camp was too damaged after the battle and was too short of people?

Or… because of this increasingly terrifying natural disaster?

These were no longer things she should consider. What she was thinking about now was to quickly seize this lifeline.

“If you come to pick us up, how long will it take?” Wan Zi asked respectfully to the radio.

She didn’t show any disrespect because the other party’s voice. She knew that although the person talking to her was just a little girl, the little girl represented the Kunzhou camp behind her.

Now she had to ask the specific time clearly, so that she could carefully think about the specific pick-up location.

After all, Qingzhou University Camp was estimated to be unable to hold on for a week in this heavy rain… No, it was estimated that in three or four days, cars would not be able to enter.

If the time for that organization to come was more than three days, then they had to agree on another location.

“Ah… Huayibai thinks about it, it will take about four hours to arrive.”

“Oh, four days, that’s just right… what??? Can you repeat it?”

Wan Zi stared at Yang Dan beside her in disbelief, and then repeatedly asked several times, confirming that the other party said four hours, not four days.

Four hours to get here? Damn it, was this coming by high-speed rail?

Even a direct flight before the apocalypse would take nearly two hours!

This speed was almost catching up with the plane!

When the other party confirmed that they had accepted, and even cut the radio back to playing “Good Day”, Wan Zi was still a little unbelievable.

Although her camp was not big, it also had a few hundred people.

Could that organization really send a passenger plane to pick them up?

That was too… unbelievable.

“Today is a good day~ Good things can’t be forgotten~♬”

Listening to the festive “Good Day” on the radio, Wan Zi felt a little absurd for a while, and also felt a sense of relief.

She was a little unbelievable that the desperate situation that had troubled her and almost made her decide to cut off a part of the camp people to preserve most of the people was solved so easily.

It was a little unbelievable until now.

Although some specific terms could not be discussed on the radio, now was not the time for her to negotiate conditions. It was enough that the other party was willing to accept all the old, weak, sick and disabled and give them a bite to eat.

After calming down for a while and letting her brain completely digest this matter, she looked at Yang Dan sitting aside.

“Brother Yang, turn on the microphone, administrative building broadcast.”

“Okay.”

Yang Dan also knew at this time that Wan Zi was going to announce this matter. Such a big event would definitely be explained to others.

After connecting to the campus broadcast, under Yang Dan’s signal, Wan Zi stood up and picked up the microphone.

“I’m Wan Zi, and now I’m going to announce something.”

Even in the broadcasting room, Wan Zi could hear her voice coming from outside the door. I have to say that the quality of this campus broadcast was really good, and it hadn’t broken down for so many years.

“Within four hours, except for helping the wounded deal with their wounds, please stop everything, count personal belongings and camp belongings, and stand by in the administrative building.”

“I repeat, there are only four hours, pack up everything you can, and gather in the administrative building…”

Soon, the broadcasting room could not only hear the echo from outside, but also bursts of cheers.

The radio just now was left outside, and the people outside must have known about joining a large organization.

However, most of them didn’t think as much as Wan Zi, they just felt that they could be sheltered by a large organization and could get rid of the current predicament, that’s all.

Hearing the busy outside, Wan Zi, who was standing in the broadcasting room, also seemed to have lost her strength and sat down.

“Brother Yang, you go and pack up too,” Wan Zi turned to look in Yang Dan’s direction and said with a smile, “I’ll sit alone for a while.”

“Okay, you’ve worked hard these years, Wan Zi.” Yang Dan also showed a smile, picked up a wooden crutch with a patina beside him, supported his body and walked out of the broadcasting room.

After there was only one person in the broadcasting room, Wan Zi took a deep breath and felt a sense of emptiness.

At first, she was just a “temporary leader”, just a person who was temporarily elected, but later, temporarily, temporarily, she “temporarily” for more than four years.

How much grievance she had suffered in the middle, how much effort and hardship it took to maintain a camp, only Wan Zi herself knew the hardships.

But fortunately, soon, she was finally going to remove the title of “temporary leader” and go to work for a large organization together.

In this way, everyone in Qingzhou could breathe a sigh of relief, which might be a good choice.

After sitting quietly for a few minutes, Wan Zi stood up, put away the melancholy expression on her face, returned to the usual casual look, opened the door and walked out.

“Sister Wanzi!”

As soon as she opened the door, she saw a girl with a sniper rifle rushing towards her, pounced on her, and even made her turn around.

“Okay… don’t make trouble, go pack up, and, my name is Wanzi, not Wanzi!”

After dismissing a few girls who also wanted to pounce, Wan Zi walked towards the center of the administrative building with a smile.

The people in the center of the administrative building were busy shuttling, and many had to go to the dormitory area to get things in groups.

When they passed by and saw Wan Zi, they would excitedly say hello, or respectfully call her Sister Wanzi.

Respectful, but not completely respectful.

“I told you to call me Wan Zi!”

After giving a brain-banger to a teenager, Wan Zi crossed the crowd and walked towards the direction of the original art room.

The second floor of the administrative building had an art room, which was spacious enough to be used to temporarily house the wounded.

Wan Zi gently opened the door and looked at the wounded lying inside, and the people who were taking care of the wounded.

Originally, this should be the most depressing place, but now it was also full of laughter. They greeted Wan Zi with smiles, and Wan Zi also responded one by one.

When Wan Zi’s gaze fell on a figure wrapped in bandages, her breathing stagnated slightly.

She gently walked to the man, looked at the man who could only move his eyes, and stood silently in front of him, enduring the bitterness in her heart.

This was the combatant who saved Wan Zi’s life that rainy night.

Because Wan Zi used her awakening ability to create blood crystal glue to stick his body together in time, he did not die from excessive blood loss, but he also almost became a useless person.

And originally lying here should have been Wan Zi.

“It’s okay, boy,” Wan Zi knelt halfway beside the man and said in a low voice, “With me, Wan Zi, your daughter will definitely not go hungry and will not be bullied…”

“This time we are going to that big organization. Your organs and limbs are still well preserved. You are an Awakened with physical enhancement. Maybe the organization has a way to help you recover…”

After comforting the man for a few words, seeing the tears that began to accumulate in his eye sockets, Wan Zi also closed her mouth and stood up.

She couldn’t continue to say it, in case his emotions were too excited, the wound would burst again.

“Thump—”

Suddenly, the door of the art room was rudely pushed open, and the sound attracted everyone’s attention.

“Wan Zi!!!”

The person at the door shouted anxiously after seeing Wan Zi.

Looking at the anxious expression of the person at the door, Wan Zi stood up and scolded: “If you have something to say, go out and say it, what are you shouting here?”

As expected, because of the man’s expression at the door, the laughter in the art room disappeared, and everyone’s expressions were filled with curiosity and worry.

In order not to let this atmosphere continue to spread here, Wan Zi quickly walked towards the door, kicked the person who bumped into the door out, walked out of the art room, and closed the door.

“What’s the matter.” Wan Zi looked at the man who was rash just now, and recognized that he was a guard.

After the Voodoo Cult left, the guards resumed their vigilance work and had been vigilant at the school gate and surrounding directions.

He ran over so flustered, indicating that there might be a problem around.

“Sister Wan Zi, the walkie-talkie can’t be used, I… I… I can only run over and tell you,” the man wiped the rain on his face with his hand, and said in a trembling voice, “There are at the door…”

Speaking of this, the man subconsciously lowered his voice, leaned his body slightly forward, and said softly: “People from the Voodoo Cult…”

“Voodoo Cult? What are they doing here? Did you fight them?”

“No… they said… they came to surrender,” the man swallowed and said softly, “Say… what their convoy had internal conflicts, they escaped, they didn’t have a choice before, now they want to be good people…”

“Are they carrying weapons?”

“They are, but they are all thrown at the school gate.”

“Take me.”

“Okay…”

 

Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Three: Camp Assembly p2

“A quarter?” The camp leader murmured.

But Second Brother heard something in her words. He stared at the bottle in the woman’s hand and asked, “What about the one in your hand? Lettuce? How long will it take to harvest?”

“Summer… at the fastest, a little over a month, it can be harvested.” At this time, Ning Xiaoxiao had completely entered the state, and said quickly, “Even if it’s almost autumn, a growth cycle won’t be much longer.”

“And, if you want it to grow faster to pass the test of the organization inside, I have another way…”

Hearing Ning Xiaoxiao’s words, Second Brother didn’t care about anything at this time, put the two bottles of seeds in his hand into other people’s hands, and asked eagerly:

“What way?!”

“When you were driving to the ash area to find them, we hadn’t gone yet, and when we stopped in place, because I was a little thirsty but embarrassed to ask for water… so I got out of the car to find water myself.”

At first, Ning Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed when she said it, but after noticing that no one was laughing at her, she continued boldly:

“I first collected a little condensed water on the vines, preparing to save more to drink, but then I noticed that every vine was very full, and then I tried to cut one open with a knife…”

“A lot of light green sap gushed out, but I wasn’t very daring to drink it, and then I took out one of the white mice I raised and let it drink a mouthful, and it died…”

“I was startled and knocked over the cup of sap, but something strange happened. Where the sap flowed, the moss and some unsprouted grass seeds on the ground quickly sprouted…”

“Then I thought, this sap is highly toxic to ordinary people, but for plants, it might be the best nutrient solution.”

Speaking of this, Ning Xiaoxiao looked at the others, paused for a while, and then said her plan.

“I plan to divide the cabbage seeds into three parts, plant one part in the center of the ash area, plant one part near the green area, and hydroponically cultivate the last part with the sap from the vines… This way, even if the nutrient solution doesn’t work, we can also observe which soil is more suitable for planting, and plan for the second phase of sowing…”

After she finished speaking, she noticed that everyone was looking at her with strange eyes, and she quickly lowered her head, and her voice became smaller as she added:

“I don’t know if this… is okay?”

After a long while, Second Brother came to his senses, and stomped his foot: “It’s so damn okay, hurry up, everyone do as she says! Move, move!”

“If you can really speed up the planting, you are the great hero of our camp!”

“Awesome!”

“How to do hydroponics, make a list, and we’ll start right away!”

“The combatants will go dig holes first, bury the ashes in the pits as much as possible, and clear enough planting land…”

The people of the original Panlong Square camp in the entire ash area were all motivated.

At this time, their enthusiasm was higher than ever.

Not only because they had a goal, but also because they saw the hope of living and working in peace and contentment.

As long as they transformed it well… the current ash area could eventually become a paradise like the green oasis next door.

And at this time, Ning Xiaoxiao was pulled out alone by Second Brother. As the second-in-command of the camp, he knew very well that if the camp wanted to take root here, it might have to rely on Ning Xiaoxiao, who was an ordinary person but a highly educated person.

“Besides the necessary living supplies, do you need anything else? Even if it’s going to the next city, I will assemble the troops to search for it for you…”

Second Brother looked at Ning Xiaoxiao with ardent eyes.

Although he, who had only finished nine years of compulsory education, didn’t know what these people needed for research, but if there was anything they really needed, he would try his best to get it.

“Need? I don’t need anything…” Ning Xiaoxiao herself knew that in the apocalypse, no matter how sophisticated the instruments were, they might have been scrapped.

If there was anything important in the apocalypse, there was only one thing.

Paper theses and research materials.

If Ning Xiaoxiao could see the information about plants, she could learn botany from scratch and design more professional plans.

Changing careers was nothing to her, after all, the end of biology, chemistry, environment, and materials was to change careers.

Just get used to it.

“Research materials… But if it’s useful materials, they should be in Kun City. There are no good plant universities nearby.” Ning Xiaoxiao looked at Second Brother and said truthfully.

“Materials… are they inside?” Hearing this, Second Brother frowned slightly.

After all, they had not been told that they could enter the urban forest.

But soon, Second Brother still patted Ning Xiaoxiao’s shoulder and said, “It’s okay, you go and arrange things with them first, go to the border and wait, and see how to communicate with the inside.”

“Eh… Second Brother, is this really okay?” Hearing this, Ning Xiaoxiao was still a little nervous.

After all, they didn’t even know the name of the organization inside, or even the name of the big shot who gave them the opportunity. Now it was too early to make conditions.

“It’s okay.” Second Brother was relieved about this. He smiled and said, “This organization is not a devil.”

“The higher-ups of the organization know better than us the role of a doctor… right, Dr. Ning.” Looking at the nervous Ning Xiaoxiao, Second Brother smiled and comforted, “Maybe they will directly hire you to do research inside… Don’t forget us then.”

“Second Brother…” Ning Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Second Brother turned around and left gracefully.

Now that things had come to this…

The fact that she didn’t study plants, and the fact that she wasn’t even a doctor…

She couldn’t say it!

Ning Xiaoxiao wanted to cry but had no tears.

What they didn’t know was that while they were busy, everything they did was seen by the higher-ups of the “organization”.

At the edge of the ash area and the forest area, several white, huge bone dragonfly-like insects were lying or hanging upside down at the edge of the forest area, their slender tails constantly tapping the ground or vines, detecting everything around them.

Blood Crystallized Insects.

These were the “True Sight Guards” that Lin Jiayao had placed around the forest area, and they had all hatched after absorbing the energy of the tree sap.

At the same time, there were also many fluorescent green flying insects patrolling around. These were Lin Jiayao’s “eyes and ears”.

Not only to watch the people in the ash area, but also to prevent people with ulterior motives from sneaking into the forest area and disturbing her and her sister.

After all, who knew if there would be extreme fanatics of the Voodoo Cult who would counterattack the Voodoo camp that had been occupied by Huayibai, or come to Kun City to carry out suicide attacks?

“Do you think this will work? Saying this should be very sincere, right? Will Wan Zi and the others refuse? After all, they are already self-sufficient, there’s no need to travel all the way here…”

At this time, Lin Xiwan was still thinking about what words to use to get Wan Zi’s camp over.

But when she went to ask her sister for advice, she found that her sister had a smile on her face.

“What are you smiling about?” Lin Xiwan played with her sister’s soft pink earlobe and asked curiously.

“Ah? Nothing, just saw something interesting,” Lin Jiayao shook her head, and by the way, shook off her sister’s devil’s hand, looked at her sister and said, “Are you asking about Wan Zi’s camp?”

“Yes, I was thinking that they might refuse…”

“It’s okay, they won’t refuse.” Lin Jiayao shook her head, “You can just offer them an olive branch.”

When she used A4 to pass over the Qingzhou University Camp before, the heavy rain there had been going on for who knows how long.

Not only was there water accumulation in the entire camp, but the crops had also been harvested, and most of the houses had collapsed. It seemed that they had suffered serious damage.

And she also stopped a C-rank zombie inside from attacking the camp people. Judging from their remaining combat power… they could no longer survive in Qingzhou, where the rain was continuous.

If an olive branch was offered to them now, they would definitely catch it without hesitation and rush here as quickly as possible.

Just now, Lin Jiayao observed the movements of the Panlong Camp through the insects she buried there.

If at first, she felt indifferent about taking in other camps, now she finally had a little interest.

If her sister could also bring the Qingzhou University Camp over, maybe they could really rebuild a giant camp and become self-sufficient.

After all, there were really talented people in the camp who could increase production.

If Lin Jiayao remembered correctly, there were students majoring in agriculture and forestry in the Qingzhou University Camp.

Then Lin Jiayao might open the forest area to some researchers and let them freely use the books and research materials inside.

If they didn’t encounter natural disasters like in Guangnan Province, if they continued to develop like this, they would definitely develop into a huge camp. After the camp grew, they could directly organize combat groups to sweep the surrounding cities and bring blood crystals for themselves…

Thinking that she might be able to receive blood crystals while lying at home in the future, Lin Jiayao’s mood also improved a little.

The shock and fear brought by the deep-sea monster before basically disappeared.

“Thump—”
“Thump—”
“Thump—”

At this time, the building-tree guard was still carrying the two of them and walking steadily in the city. Unexpectedly, the building-tree could be used as a good means of transportation.

It felt like driving a mecha.

At this time, Lin Xiwan was still discussing the radio with Huayibai. Seeing that they were chatting enthusiastically, Lin Jiayao did not disturb them, but controlled the building-tree guard to change direction.

She was going to collect books and build the 【Library Lv.1】.

Speeding up her mental recovery speed could allow her to recover faster from the “wilted” state after logging into B-rank.

While the building-tree was heading towards the library of the Plant Research Institute, Lin Xiwan, who was chatting with Huayibai, looked up at her sister.

“Yao, I’m going to start.”

“Okay.”

……

“Buzz…”

Qingzhou University Camp radio station, a disabled middle-aged man suddenly woke up from a light sleep.

The Voodoo radio station, which had been playing “Good Day” and “Unforgettable Tonight” on loop since yesterday, seemed to have some movement.

“Wan Zi, Wan Zi, something’s up, turn on the radio.” The man pressed the broadcast button on campus and said.

Wan Zi, who was busy at this time, stopped what she was doing after hearing the words “turn on the radio”, and asked her subordinates to bring the radio to her.

Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Three: Camp Assembly p1

Lin Jiayao quickly searched through all her evolutions, but she couldn’t find a skill that could effectively blow away the ashes in the sky. She could only temporarily use her mycelium to split into two blood-red masks.

Lin Jiayao put one on herself, and the other one was for her sister.

As for Huayibai, she didn’t need to breathe at all. Even if the ashes were sucked into her nose, she just found it fun.

“There’s too much ash here, let’s leave quickly after we’re done… Are you going or am I?”

After putting on the mask, with the filtration of the mycelium, Lin Jiayao felt that her breathing became smooth.

Although she could still smell a strong smell of smoke and dust, at least she wouldn’t suck the ash into her nose and choke herself.

“Hmm…” At this time, Lin Xiwan, wearing the mycelium mask handed over by her sister, said in the mycelium mask that was close to her skin, “I’ll go. Are the things on the other big tree?”

Not letting her sister talk to the other party was not for her sister’s safety… but for the other party’s safety.

It wouldn’t be good to scare others.

“Yes.” Lin Jiayao nodded, and at the same time controlled the other building-tree guard to slowly lie down.

This time, Lin Jiayao’s movements were obviously much slower. The landing of the building-tree guard this time did not splash too much ash.

Although they were careful up there, coughing and wearing masks, they looked very embarrassed.

But in the eyes of the people below, they seemed to be “arguing” about something in the ashes, so that both of their bodies trembled a little angrily.

“Thump—”

After another tree monster landed, the people of the Panlong Camp saw that one of the people on the same monster’s head, who was obviously taller, jumped onto the other monster’s head, seeming to be looking for something.

Soon, she took something and jumped directly towards them.

“Tap—”

After landing steadily from the monster’s head, the person slowly walked towards the crowd in the ashes. At this time, they finally saw her appearance clearly.

“It’s her… Second Brother…” The camp leader couldn’t help but nudge Second Brother beside him with his elbow.

“I know, don’t make a fuss, don’t make a fuss, this is a critical moment.”

Second Brother replied in a low voice. Now he was also a little excited.

Because this was the fourth time they had met this woman, including this time.

Although she was wearing loose clothes this time that covered her figure, he still recognized her at a glance.

After all, the beautiful face and wavy black hair were hard to forget.

Fortunately, he hadn’t left any bad impression on the other party every time, and he didn’t feel that the other party had any obvious disgust towards the camp.

If the other party came to communicate with them, then they might be able to stay.

And… was she holding something in her hand?

Although the other party’s face was wearing a bloody mask that almost covered half of her face, Second Brother’s attention was still on the things in the woman’s hand.

Those were two glass bottles… What was in the glass bottles…

Hearing the rustling sound as the woman’s arm swung, Second Brother’s pupils dilated slightly.

Those were seeds!

They were the seeds mentioned when this organization was communicating with Survivor’s Light!

Now she was bringing the seeds over, could it be…

At this time, Lin Xiwan was already standing in front of these camp people. Looking at the dusty camp people in front of her, Lin Xiwan’s mouth under the half mask slowly inhaled.

“I discussed it with the people above, and she agreed to let you stay, but there are some conditions.”

Lin Xiwan tried to speak concisely.

Of course, the people above she referred to simply meant Lin Jiayao, who was still sitting on the big tree monster, and there was no other meaning.

But her words, when they fell into the other party’s ears, changed their meaning.

“You… discussed it with them?” Second Brother took a small step forward and asked sincerely, “Can you tell us what the conditions for staying are?”

Now Second Brother only hoped that the conditions would not be too harsh.

Of course, even if the higher-ups inside wanted to treat them as coolies, they had no way to complain, after all, they were under someone else’s roof.

He only hoped that the higher-ups on the other side would not exploit the people in their camp too much.

Hearing the other party’s respectful tone, Lin Xiwan didn’t think too much, but just told the other party the temporary plan she had discussed with her sister.

“First, you can move around and transform this entire ash area as you please;”

“Second, ordinary people in the camp without combat power must participate in production and planting;”

“Third, if other camps come to seek refuge in the future, you will be temporarily responsible for guiding and receiving them, and assigning tasks.”

“Currently, there are only these three points. We will regularly provide you with clean water sources, enough for your daily use and planting.”

“This is a temporary plan, see if you can accept it.”

After Lin Xiwan finished speaking, she shook the three bottles of sealed seeds in her hand, making a crisp “rustling” sound.

And Lin Xiwan’s words made the people in front of her stunned.

The leader and Second Brother of the camp blinked, then turned their heads and looked at each other, seeing disbelief in each other’s eyes.

These conditions, and she asked if they could accept them?

Holy shit, they could accept it too much!

This was equivalent to dividing a large area within the safe zone for them to use at will, and also regularly providing them with clean water resources!

And they only needed to farm, that’s all!

Even the most exaggerated thing was that the task of receiving and arranging new camps was directly handed over to them…

What did this mean?

It meant that this entire ash area would be their territory in the future… Even if other camps came later, they would have to listen to their commands.

What kind of exploitation was this? The treatment was simply too generous!

Although it was temporary, this was also a sign of decentralization, full of sincerity!

These conditions must be in recognition of their previous actions.

It was hard to believe how much the beautiful woman in front of them had worked to negotiate such favorable conditions for them.

Obviously, she and their camp were just strangers who met by chance.

Second Brother rubbed his eyes, feeling a little touched for a moment.

“Uh…” Seeing that the people in front of her were silent, and the Awakened standing at the front even reached out and wiped a tear, Lin Xiwan pursed her lips, not knowing how to speak.

Were the conditions still too harsh?

Although there was enough water in Kun City, the building-trees and vines themselves stored a lot of water, and they also had their own water purification function.

But after all, there was no food, how could they survive until the first batch of crops matured?

Lin Xiwan looked back at her sister sitting on top, blocked by the building-tree, where the investor was sitting, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke again:

“As for food, when you really can’t hold on, we can provide…”

“We accept!” Before Lin Xiwan could finish speaking, Second Brother directly agreed.

“Yes, we accept these conditions.”

The camp leader also nodded, and then slightly bowed to Lin Xiwan.

“Thank you.”

“Thank you.”

“Thank you for taking us in.”

Words of gratitude began to rise and fall among the crowd. So many people looked at her with ardent eyes, which made Lin Xiwan feel a little uncomfortable.

“Then… if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first. If you need anything, just go to the edge of the urban forest and say it. We will place something that can notify us at the border…”

After Lin Xiwan finished speaking, she handed the several large bottles of labeled seeds to the camp leader and Second Brother at the front.

“We will definitely complete this first task… Please wait for good news!”

“Many people in our camp are from farming families, and they have all farmed when they were young. We will definitely live up to your expectations…”

Amidst the crowd’s assurances, Lin Xiwan jumped back onto the building-tree as if escaping and ran back to her sister’s side.

“Huff…” After running to her sister’s side and grabbing her sister’s shoulder, Lin Xiwan slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

“They are so enthusiastic…” Lin Xiwan whispered to her sister, and couldn’t help but glance at the crowd below again.

Lin Xiwan sincerely hoped that they could settle down here and become self-sufficient.

This place would not always be an ash area. This forest was also trying to recover itself. The border of the forest was advancing towards the ash area day by day, and one day it would be completely restored.

If this place could really become self-sufficient… it could feed many, many people in the apocalypse!

Even more than Survivor’s Light could save… Maybe it could become a giant camp even larger than Survivor’s Light!

Now Lin Xiwan was looking forward to the people from Qingzhou University Camp coming over. Wan Zi’s camp had ready-made planting technology and skilled planters, and rich experience in managing self-sufficient camps.

If Wan Zi could come, maybe this place could really become a paradise in the apocalypse…

Lin Xiwan thought so, and looked at her sister again.

At this time, the building-tree guard had already stood up and walked into the building-tree forest. Noticing her sister’s gaze, Lin Jiayao smiled helplessly and said:

“Just say it if you have something to say.”

Hearing her sister’s words, Lin Xiwan did not suppress her excitement and directly expressed her thoughts.

“Since there are people here… since they are here… why not try to call the Qingzhou University Camp over, the camp of Wan Zi.”

Lin Xiwan tried to persuade her sister, and explained nervously:

“We have a lot of resources here, enough to support Wan Zi’s camp, and the people in their camp have experience in self-sufficiency, they have good personalities, and Wan Zi’s management experience is also rich…”

“Sigh…” Lin Jiayao took off her mask, smiled and shook her head, “Just do it if you want to.”

Lin Jiayao said, while tilting her head up, looking at her sister standing beside her and teasing, “Are you the older sister or am I the older sister? Why do you ask me everything.”

“If you want to use the radio broadcast, just tell Huayibai… Hey hey hey! Drool! Drool!”

Before Lin Jiayao could finish speaking, her sister cheered “Yay” and directly lowered her head and pecked Lin Jiayao’s face frantically, giving her several big muahs.

Of course, the people below could no longer see their little actions. They watched the two huge monsters carrying the people on top re-enter the forest.

“Huff…”

After the huge tree monsters went away, Second Brother slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this time, there was more of a smile on his face.

He squeezed the bright glass bottle in his hand. The seeds in the glass bottle brought them life and hope.

“They are really good people…” Second Brother sighed.

“Yeah…” The leader couldn’t help but echo.

Suddenly, Second Brother remembered something and shuddered.

“Damn, where are the blood crystals? How did we forget to return them to them?”

Second Brother pushed aside the crowd and walked towards the place where the blood crystals were placed.

Three and a half blood crystals were still lying quietly on the ground, no one touched them.

Although the other party said that this land was at their disposal, they still did not dare to keep these blood crystals.

“It’s okay, didn’t the organization inside say that there would be a way to contact us? We’ll hand them over when we collect them.”

The leader also walked through the crowd and patted Second Brother’s shoulder to comfort him.

“By the way, farming… Who knows how to plant things? Are there any farmers? Right! I remember there was a female doctor before… who was it? She studied biology or something?!”

Soon, Second Brother started to get busy.

Self-sufficiency was a test given to them by the people inside. They had to plant the seeds as soon as possible.

Soon, he found the highest educated person in the camp—a female doctor.

“I’ve already said that I haven’t finished my doctorate… and I study biology, I don’t know much about plants…”

After the woman who looked only twenty-six or twenty-seven years old was pushed out, she kept shaking her head.

Her glasses had been broken in the apocalypse, and she basically couldn’t tell men from women from 50 meters away.

She was able to stay in the Panlong Camp because her aunt had accurate marksmanship and served as a sniper in the exploration team.

As for her, she could basically only do needlework in the camp. Besides that, she was like a useless person. Her only hobby was to fiddle with some bottles and jars that others couldn’t understand.

Now that she was suddenly pushed out, she, who was socially awkward, suddenly panicked a little.

She was a doctoral student in biomedical engineering, and she couldn’t even be called a doctor. Now how could she be asked to study how to farm?

But in most people’s eyes, these terms seemed to be no different.

It was like you were a painter, but you studied 3D modeling, and then your relatives asked if you could draw a portrait for them when they heard that you studied painting.

This was the general idea of most ordinary people with low education.

But looking at the expectant eyes looking at her, and the leader who excitedly handed her those glass bottles, she swallowed hard.

She turned her head and subconsciously looked for her aunt’s figure, and then she saw her aunt carrying a sniper rifle and giving her a thumbs up.

She seemed to be very proud that her niece had become the hope of the whole camp.

It turned out that studying was still useful!

Seeing her aunt’s eyes, the woman wanted to cry but had no tears.

No one could save her.

This time, she was really being forced to do something she wasn’t good at.

The woman braced herself and took the three bottles of seeds and looked at them.

If it weren’t for the words written on them… she wouldn’t have recognized what kind of seeds they were.

She was completely clueless.

“What’s your name again… Xiao… what was it?”

There were many ordinary women in the camp, and Second Brother was usually busy fighting and scavenging, and didn’t have time to recognize them all.

But he could see the woman’s nervousness and wanted to help her relieve her tension by talking.

“My name is Ning Xiaoxiao…” The woman whispered, while flipping through the seed bottles in her trembling hands. Soon, her hands stopped trembling.

Although she didn’t know much about plants, her reading volume made her knowledge in these areas still better than ordinary people.

She studied biomedical engineering, majoring in human diseases, and one of her students had studied the harm and prevention of lettuce downy mildew to humans.

Although she had carefully studied it and rejected this topic at the time, she was not completely ignorant of plants…

And in the large glass bottle in her hand, there was a whole bottle of lettuce seeds…

This time, she really hit the nail on the head.

Everyone seemed to see that she had fallen into deep thought, and they all closed their mouths, not interrupting her thoughts.

“Are there any who have farmed before?” She handed the other two bottles of seeds back to Second Brother and said, “These two bottles can be directly planted in the soil, and it will take at least a quarter to mature…”

Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Two: A Sweet Sister p2

After fooling Huayibai, Lin Jiayao looked in her sister’s direction again.

Since it was determined to plant in the ash area, then a new problem appeared.

Now in the ash area, there were people.

That team of camps, the Panlong Square camp that had no planting experience.

“What about that camp? How to deal with it?” Lin Jiayao looked at her sister’s eyes and asked, “Expel them?”

“Expel… them?” Hearing her sister’s words, Lin Xiwan couldn’t help but think of the sincere words of the camp leader before.

It could be seen that he really wanted to protect the people in his camp. If possible, he would fight with the people in his camp to the last moment, a little like the resort camp where they were originally.

Before, they were weak and unable to help the camp, but now if this camp was driven away, they might repeat the mistakes of the resort camp…

“Or… let them stay in the ash area?” Lin Xiwan turned around, sat facing her sister, but just looked at her sister’s skirt, not daring to look at her eyes, “Let them help us plant the land… Anyway, we don’t know how to plant…”

Lin Xiwan knew that this was just her own selfish desire, wanting to help those who really needed help and were trying to live as much as possible.

This was undoubtedly contrary to her sister’s idea of wanting to develop.

But soon, she heard a rustling sound of clothes rubbing, and before she could look up, she saw a hand gently holding her face and lifting it up.

“Your face is full of sweat… dirty…” Lin Xiwan said, wanting to use other off-site factors to escape, but in the end she still followed her sister’s strength and looked in her sister’s direction.

“Why are you lowering your head?” Lin Jiayao looked at her sister and asked.

“Looking at the legs,” Lin Xiwan said casually, but soon realized that what she said seemed a little wrong, and immediately changed her words, “Looking at the skirt… pattern.”

Looking at her sister’s eyes, Lin Xiwan finally couldn’t resist, sighed, and told the truth.

“After all… this is the place you control, and you also used the big trees here to defeat the leader of the Voodoo Cult…”

Lin Xiwan wanted to continue, but found that her sister’s hand had already exerted force, squeezing her cheeks flat, and the words she spoke turned into “garbled characters”.

“So you think Kun City is mine, so you can’t make decisions without authorization?” Lin Jiayao asked, and then saw her sister nod her head a little guilty.

“Isn’t mine yours?” Lin Jiayao released the hand pinching her sister’s cheek, and then stretched out her right hand to her sister sitting on the ground, and said slowly, “Conversely, your things are also mine.”

“I want the bag of blood crystals and the two corpses that you put in the dormitory building.” Speaking of this, Lin Jiayao showed a sly smile, “After all, yours are mine.”

Hearing this, Lin Xiwan was stunned, and after a while, she held her sister’s right hand and was pulled up.

“Okay! So you’ve been thinking about this all along, and you pretended not to care and didn’t say anything!”

Lin Xiwan said, she couldn’t help but reach out and pinch her sister’s soft cheeks, and finally kissed her directly.

Looking at her disgusted sister in front of her, Lin Xiwan felt that her eye sockets were a little sore.

Of course she knew that her sister must not have taken a fancy to that bag of blood crystals and two corpses, this was just to make herself feel better.

The most important thing was the intention that her sister showed, which Lin Xiwan saw.

Her sister had already told herself very straightforwardly that she was her very important sister, and no matter what she did, her sister would support her.

She even used wanting blood crystals to cover up her blatant statement just now… Tsundere really…

Lin Xiwan couldn’t help but kiss her sister’s cheek again, and then stood up contentedly and said, “I’ll go get the clothes, wait for me.”

After speaking, Lin Xiwan hummed “Good Day” and walked away, her joy was evident on her face.

Now Lin Xiwan was still sighing, her sister’s emotional intelligence was enough for her to learn for a lifetime. She felt that she had lived for so long and didn’t know where she had lived. Facing strangers, she would only put on a cold face and pretend to be cool, and facing her sister, she could only surrender.

And Lin Jiayao looked at her sister’s back, a little helpless.

Her sister seemed to have misunderstood something… but it didn’t matter.

After all, her intentions had been well conveyed to her sister’s heart, and she was really short of blood crystals.

Next, just find a library and snag a hundred books, and build the 【Library】 in the Hideout.

If Lin Jiayao remembered correctly, when she and her sister Huayibai went to find the seed bank, they passed a large library of a research institute, and even the university where the seed bank was located had a library.

Two large libraries, even if they had been damp for so many years, they could always find 100 good books, right?

While her sister went to get clothes, Lin Jiayao had already begun to summon the building-tree guards through the vascular network.

She could directly let the building-tree guards transport the bag of blood crystals and corpses and seeds in the dormitory building, so that she would not have to run in person.

You ask her why she doesn’t go back to the dormitory? She would only look at you with sympathy.

Obviously she could get up on the big bed of the villa, but she had to squeeze into the dormitory, that was indeed a bit of a problem with her brain.

As for the originally sparse seed bank of building-trees, Lin Jiayao also mobilized a large number of building-tree guards to station there, with extremely strict guards.

Since she didn’t need to guard the seed bank at all times, she could just choose a more comfortable place to live as a temporary “home”, as long as it was not too far away.

Next, Lin Jiayao planned to take her sister to the ash area. When they arrived, the building-tree guards should also arrive at the ash area at about the same time.

Since her sister wanted to keep those people, naturally she couldn’t let them eat for nothing. Rebuilding the ash area was their task.

Naturally, the task of planting must also fall on them. Compared to going out to fight with zombies, just planting the land was definitely easier, and the other party would definitely agree.

This was also good. With someone helping to plant, the sisters would not have to worry about planting things—of course, Huayibai was not counted, everyone understood.

If Huayibai was really allowed to plant, Lin Jiayao would not be surprised if Huayibai planted the seeds on herself.

She didn’t want to see Huayibai running to her one day and calling her Mommy with a seedling on her head.

Her sister’s jacket was hung on the vines not far away, but because her sister went to the puddle to wash her face and wipe her body, it took some time.

When her sister came back wearing a jacket, Lin Jiayao had already made a one-time wheelchair and sat on it.

Just when her butt moved from the mycelium stool to the wheelchair, she could clearly see a trace of loss flashing on Huayibai’s face, but because Lin Jiayao had been observing her sister’s direction, she did not notice this emotional change in Huayibai.

When Lin Xiwan was ready and was about to push her sister away, Lin Jiayao stopped Lin Xiwan’s movements and pointed to the building-tree guard who had already laid down and was on standby.

“Let’s take that, it runs fast.”

Lin Jiayao had controlled the building-tree guard, and knew how terrifying the four long legs of this big guy were.

“We’ll take the seeds to the ruins later. If nothing unexpected happens, that place will be used to receive camps from other places…”

On the way to the building-tree guard, Lin Jiayao began to tell her sister about the plan she had just thought of.

Lin Xiwan, who was listening to Lin Jiayao’s plan, nodded repeatedly.

As expected of her sister, she thought so far.

Finally, Lin Xiwan held the wheelchair, Lin Jiayao was sitting on the wheelchair, and Lin Jiayao was holding Huayibai in her arms. Under Lin Xiwan’s forceful jump, she directly jumped to the platform on the top of the building-tree guard’s big disc face.

“Whoosh—”
“Crack—”

As the mycelium on Lin Jiayao’s wheelchair connected to the winding vines on the top of the building-tree guard, the four limbs of the building-tree guard were re-injected with power and slowly stood up.

“Woo—”

The lifting speed was very fast, and Lin Xiwan subconsciously squeezed her sister’s shoulder and pulled the wheelchair closer to her, as if she was afraid that her sister would fall.

Soon, Lin Xiwan adapted to the feeling of being on top of the building-tree guard. With the movement of the building-tree guard, she felt gusts of wind blowing in her face.

It was like driving a mecha.

It was just that she had to pay attention to avoiding the vines hanging down from other buildings, otherwise it would still hurt a little if they hit her face.

In this way, two huge building-tree guards, one carrying blood crystals and corpses, and one carrying Lin Jiayao and others, rushed directly towards the ash area…

……

“Second Brother, you say… are they just ignoring us, otherwise it wouldn’t be so long…”

“Let’s wait a little longer, just treat it as resting in place for a few days.” The Awakened called Second Brother patted the black ash on his hands and sighed softly.

After all, they were under someone else’s roof and asking for help, it was normal for the other party to keep them waiting.

It was just that the environment here was really bad, everywhere was traces of battle, and from time to time a strong wind would blow up a gust of flying ash. Even he, his hands and face were covered with a lot of ash.

The people who came later were also covered in dust after staying here for a long time, looking very dirty, as if they had just come out of a mine.

However, just a few thousand meters away from here, there was a vibrant green.

Although if you got closer, you could vaguely see that there were many corpses hanging on those vines, but it did not prevent the air and environment there from looking better.

“Boss, a child just picked up blood crystals again… blood crystals! A whole one!” A person quietly approached the camp leader and said softly.

The leader frowned slightly.

This was already the third blood crystal that the people in their camp had found here, and there were even many blood crystal fragments that had not been fully fused… These were obviously relics left after the fire.

It could also be called spoils of war.

The camp leader and Second Brother looked at each other, and then looked at the camp person who came to report.

“Pile up all the found blood crystals, don’t let others take them…” The leader said, pulling the person’s collar and pulling him closer, “Remember, don’t let anyone! Any! One! Take it, understand?”

“Understood, boss.”

The man nodded and continued to run to the back to direct.

Blood crystals were certainly useful to Awakened, but the camp leader knew very well that these things were not his own, but the spoils of war of the people in this organization.

If the other ordinary people in the camp were plunged into a desperate situation because the Awakened coveted these things, it would not be worth the loss.

He could tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal every day.

He had already brought his greatest sincerity, and next, he just needed to wait for the other party’s response.

“Thump…”
“Thump…”

Suddenly, the ashes on the ground vibrated slightly, and many huge footsteps sounded in the distance, seeming to be running towards here.

“What’s that?”

“It’s coming from the woods!”

“Run… run!”

The terrifying footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the vibrations were getting more and more obvious, and the people in the camp were obviously flustered.

“Don’t panic!” The camp leader stood up and shouted, and said to the camp people, “Don’t run! Wait for my command!”

After saying all this, the leader and Second Brother, and other Awakened in the camp turned around and looked in the direction of the forest.

Gradually, everyone’s eyes widened.

In their sight, two huge terrifying long-legged creatures were running towards them.

Below their disc-like huge faces, there was a whole round of pupils emitting green fluorescence, and a huge mouth like a compass with serrations.

“This… what the hell… is this?!”

If those two monsters hadn’t slowed down after entering the ash area, he would have almost ordered to escape.

As the monster stepped down with each foot, countless ashes would fly up, and the impact and oppression brought by this was something that no previous zombie could bring.

Soon, the two huge monsters stopped less than thirty meters away from them, shrouding them in shadows.

After a brief gaze, one of the monsters slowly descended and landed heavily on the ground, setting off a storm of ashes.

And in this storm of ashes, they finally saw clearly the top of the monster…

There, stood a few people!

Although the line of sight was temporarily blocked by the ashes, it could still be vaguely seen that the standing one was a woman’s figure.

And the standing woman was leaning over in front of the sitting person, not knowing what she was doing.

Everyone looked at this shocking scene, standing still and not daring to move.

At the same time, Lin Jiayao and others on top of the building-tree guard were constantly coughing.

“Cough cough—”

Lin Xiwan leaned over in front of her sister and reached out to cover her sister’s mouth and nose.

“Too much ash! Cough…”

Yes, the two of them were choked by the flying ashes at the same time.

Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Two: A Sweet Sister p1

Huayibai carried Lin Jiayao and stopped at the edge of the square, gradually transforming back into the appearance of a little girl.

However, where Lin Jiayao was originally sitting, Huayibai still left a part of the stool composed of mycelium to support Lin Jiayao’s body.

“Hah-ah-ah—”

In the sight of the two, a figure wearing a sports bra was grabbing vines and quickly climbing up the building-tree.

Her original black jacket had already been hung aside. The figure’s whole body was soaked with sweat, but she still did not slow down, and climbed all the way to the top of the building-tree more than fifty meters high.

The moment she reached the designated point, she let go of the vines she was holding, stomped her feet forward, and her body fell backwards like free-falling water.

This was a height of fifty meters…

Seeing this scene, Lin Jiayao, without a trace of hesitation, quickly raised her right hand forward.

Myriad Tendrils——

“Ch—”

Mycelium burst out from the palm of Lin Jiayao’s hand, forming a huge soft hand made of mycelium below the falling figure.

A distance of more than fifty meters sounded like a long way, but if falling from a high place, it only took about three seconds to reach the bottom.

So when Lin Jiayao was mentally exhausted and this hand was only half formed, Lin Xiwan, who was wearing a black sports bra, was already about to fall to the bottom.

Lin Xiwan seemed not to be flustered at all.

“Thump—”

A bell rang, and Lin Xiwan, who had already accumulated strength in the air, punched the ground fiercely.

“Boom—”

Her right hand burst with scarlet blood vessels. After all the force was concentrated at one point, it exploded in front of her fist before touching the ground.

A wave of air was set off, and moss and broken marble ground fragments splashed, even smashing Lin Jiayao’s giant hand of mycelium that had just been condensed.

This recoil force instantly offset the gravity of the fall, but it also caused Lin Xiwan’s right fist to twist unnaturally, causing great impact on her internal organs.

“Pfft—”

Under the push of this air wave, Lin Xiwan rolled a few times in the air and landed, spitting out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

“Huff… hah… huff…” At this time, Lin Xiwan, who was breathing heavily, noticed that there were two more people at the entrance.

Just now, immersed in fighting with the earth, Lin Xiwan didn’t notice that her sister had actually come.

After wiping the sweat off her face with her hand, Lin Xiwan smiled and walked in her sister’s direction.

“Was that cool? My set of punches from the sky.”

Lin Xiwan walked to her sister, and was about to reach out and touch her sister’s head, but thinking that her hands were full of ash and sweat, she retracted her hand halfway, smiling and explaining:

“This was inspired by the time I fought that Awakened with Huayibai before.”

This training method of climbing a building and then falling down to find the right time to punch with all her strength was a devil training method that Lin Xiwan figured out herself.

Not only could it consume her physical energy at an extremely fast speed, but it could also exercise her timing of punching at the limit and beat her body.

Muscle-type trainers, anti-strike training was also very important. If you wanted to attack better, you had to have a lot of defense support.

The scene of punching the ground from the air just now was already a good performance of a C-rank muscle-type Awakened, and there was still a lot of room for development.

“Amazing.” Lin Jiayao nodded. Her sister’s fall just now really made Lin Jiayao break out in a cold sweat.

However, Lin Jiayao still reached out, grabbed her sister’s hand that was about to be retracted, put it in front of her, and frowned slightly.

Her sister’s hand… was now in a terrible state.

Bone Spike Lurker could accurately transmit the state and appearance of her sister’s whole body bones to Lin Jiayao through the vibration of touch.

Maybe it was because of high-intensity exercise, even with the strength of a C-rank Awakened, her sister’s body still had some problems, especially the hand bones, which even had some slight cracks.

Although it could be quickly recovered by the Awakened’s recovery ability, the pain caused by these injuries still existed.

“You’re pushing yourself too hard… Why don’t you rest for a while?” Lin Jiayao originally wanted to talk to her sister, but as soon as she spoke, the prepared harsh words were replaced by heartache.

She vaguely knew why her sister was so desperate to become stronger. Under this premise, she couldn’t blame her sister for anything.

Because she was planning to not sleep for 24 hours… Double standards were not good.

“I rested,” Lin Xiwan squeezed her sister’s palm with her right hand and said with a smile, “It’s rare to have free time, I have to practice well.”

“Then you have to change the training method next time, this is too harmful to the body.” Lin Jiayao shook her head and said.

“But… there’s nothing to practice with. If I don’t do this, the intensity won’t be enough.” Lin Xiwan was also a little helpless.

Kun City was indeed safe, and it was too safe, so safe that not a single zombie could be found. Lin Xiwan’s skills could only be used to fight the earth.

After hearing Lin Xiwan’s words, Lin Jiayao pondered for a while, and then nodded and said, “There is.”

Saying that, Lin Jiayao let go of her sister’s hand, her palm drooping, and a mycelium connected to the vines on the ground.

“Crack—”

With Lin Jiayao’s movements, the building-tree on one side vibrated, and the “corpses” on it fell down one by one. These “corpses”, which were almost covered with moss, slowly stood up after landing.

“Hiss…”
“Roar—”

In addition to the corpses on the ground, several giant birds broke free from the shackles of the vines and flapped their wings to fly.

Finally, after shaking off the zombies on its body, a part of the building-tree directly uprooted itself, breaking the roots and vines, and stood firmly in front of the dumbfounded Lin Xiwan.

“Which one do you want to fight?” Lin Jiayao looked at her sister and asked, “If it’s not enough, you can also practice with Huayibai.”

The situation of lacking training partners was easy to solve. There were a large number of zombies tied and hung by the vascular network in the building-tree forest. As long as a little sap was injected, they could be reactivated.

Punching a sandbag was at least better than punching a concrete floor, the same principle.

“This…” Lin Xiwan widened her eyes and looked at the huge building-tree guard who had separated from the stairs, and opened her mouth.

Speaking of which, she seemed to have seen a building-tree detach and collapse in the sea of fire that night. At that time, she thought it was burned down.

“These… will it be okay to kill them?” Looking at the numerous zombies and building-tree guards in front of her, ranging from weak to strong, Lin Xiwan felt a little eager to try.

In the case of ensuring safety, having real enemies that could be killed was undoubtedly much better than practicing against the air.

“It’s okay,” Lin Jiayao explained, “Kill those zombies, and the building-trees can also be directly ashed. Anyway, the nutrients will eventually be decomposed into the vascular… forest.”

Lin Jiayao originally wanted to say vascular network, but it was more difficult to understand, and it was easier for people to understand it directly as a forest.

Those zombies died, and the building-tree guards fell. In the end, the corpses would still be decomposed by other building-trees and vines, and finally form new building-trees. Even if more died, given time to regenerate, the total amount would not change.

Such a large piece of building-trees was enough for her sister to fight from morning to night, from the great-grandfather of the building-tree to the great-grandson of the building-tree, without disrupting the cycle, and she could destroy it as she pleased.

It could be said to be a simple version of the 【Training Grounds】.

Of course, B-rank could not play like this. The destructive power of B-rank definitely exceeded the regeneration speed of the vascular network.

“Okay…” Lin Xiwan smiled and squeezed her fists, eager to have a big fight, but she was pulled back by Lin Jiayao.

“Rest.” Lin Jiayao said, snapping her fingers, and all the zombies moving towards this side were attracted by a special smell and turned to run towards the vacancy of the building-tree.

And the huge building-tree that had already separated from the building also slowly bent its huge roots and lay down on the ground to stand by.

Even the giant birds in the air were recaptured by the vines between the building-trees and drained of energy.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xiwan also sighed.

It seemed that before her body was fully recovered, her sister would not let her continue high-intensity training.

Although her sister was usually well-behaved and obedient, she would be very serious and merciless when it came to issues related to her safety and health.

The devil training was interrupted, but Lin Xiwan was not annoyed at all. Instead, she felt relaxed because she was cared for by her sister.

It was like eating a piece of white sugar, sweet.

“Then what are you going to do?” Lin Xiwan sat directly on the ground next to Lin Jiayao very simply, and asked casually, “Are you still sleeping?”

“No, rest.” Lin Jiayao also answered very directly.

Although with Hunting Rhythm, she would not faint directly.

But her reaction and other things had been greatly weakened, and she was a little slow in doing anything.

Just like just now, if she was still in full mental mode to use mycelium to catch her sister, she would definitely have caught her before her sister punched, it would not have been so slow.

This state was definitely not suitable for continuing to log in.

Hunting Rhythm could only help Lin Jiayao “overclock” and “low power operation”, it did not double Lin Jiayao’s spirit.

If she continued to squeeze, let alone faint, she might even die suddenly.

She still had to wait for the second-level training ground to be built, and by the way, find the construction materials for the first-level library in the meantime, at least to increase her mental recovery speed.

The things at the bottom of the sea had not been clarified, and Lin Jiayao planned to knock on the side from other channels.

Donghai City was a city by the sea, and Survivor’s Light’s understanding of seaside zombies must be deeper than Lin Jiayao’s, and she had to find an opportunity to ask.

In Dongying on the 5th, she could also intuitively feel the threat of the seaside, and logging into the 5th could also increase her understanding of underwater creatures.

It was just that she hadn’t logged into the 5th for a while, and Lin Jiayao didn’t know what the situation was there now.

Before she extracted, the houses on the coastline there had been washed away by the tsunami. Now if she logged in, maybe half of the city had been destroyed.

She had to find an opportunity to log in and extract the 5th quickly and change the location… Otherwise, it would be easy to give it away for nothing.

Although the system said that there would be compensation for the death of the zombie in the extraction state, compensation was compensation. Lin Jiayao had not finished exploiting the evolution on the 5th, and could not let it die easily.

At least she had to exploit all the golden evolutions before dying, and she could also exploit the system compensation.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiayao began to feel busy again.

After her spirit recovered, she had to go to log in to Goldie to clean up Wisconsin non-stop, and when her spirit recovered again, she had to log in to the 5th, and then use the 6th to log in to a region to draw a lottery…

Although Huayibai was by Goldie’s side, and the B-rank Huayibai could completely clean up Wisconsin, which had eliminated the biggest threat.

But the problem was that those Hive Zombies could really affect Huayibai’s spirit. If she was not present, it would be difficult for Huayibai to resist the pheromones on her own.

Lin Jiayao didn’t want her daughter to run out and suddenly be controlled by other zombies. She had no interest in being cuckolded, so naturally she wouldn’t let Huayibai take risks.

As for the building-tree guard of No. 2, Lin Jiayao also planned to find an opportunity to directly replace other zombies.

The vascular network had been controlled by Lin Jiayao, and countless building-tree guards obeyed her instructions. The one logged in by the system was obviously a bit of a waste of space.

It seemed that No. 2 had always been unlucky. She didn’t know if the login slot of No. 2 was poisonous.

At the same time, after hearing that her sister was also going to rest, Lin Xiwan was a little unbelievable.

In the past, her sister was either sleeping (fighting) or on the way to sleep (fighting). Only when she was so tired that she could barely lift her eyes would she choose to rest.

Now she was actually going to rest when she could still speak clearly.

It seemed that the situation of zombies in other places was relatively good, so her sister was so relaxed.

Of course, these were all Lin Xiwan’s misunderstandings. Her sister not only did not feel that it was getting better and better, but felt that there were more and more threats around.

“Then what are you going to do later?” Lin Xiwan lay back, lying on the wet and soft moss, looked at her sister and asked with a smile, “Any ‘activities’?”

“No,” Lin Jiayao held the mycelium chair with both hands, turned her body, faced her sister and asked, “Do you have anything you want to do?”

Originally, Lin Jiayao was planning to come to her sister to try out her abilities, but now that her sister was in this state, she might as well wait for her to rest.

As for Huayibai?

No bones, no way to try. The bones simulated by mycelium were essentially mycelium, and bone-based abilities could not have any effect on them.

The matter of combining with her sister could only be done later.

“What do I want to do?” Lin Xiwan raised her head slightly after hearing her sister’s question, put her hands behind her head, closed her eyes slightly and thought.

Suddenly, Lin Xiwan seemed to think of something, sat up suddenly, reached out and grabbed her sister’s bare feet and shook them.

“Hey! Seeds!” Lin Xiwan’s eyes were shining, looking at her puzzled sister and said, “We haven’t planted our seeds yet!”

Indeed, after listening to some planting experience and skills of Qingzhou University Camp and Survivor’s Light, they had not yet started to practice.

The sooner the seeds were planted, the sooner they could be harvested.

And now that this summer was about to end and autumn was about to come, it was a very suitable time for sowing.

The time, place, and people were all gathered, and now only practice was needed.

“Where to plant?” Thinking of this question, Lin Xiwan was a little tangled.

There was almost no flat road surface in Kun City, either covered with moss or surrounded by vines and mycelium. If you wanted to clear out an open space, you would undoubtedly need to destroy a lot of native mutated plants and fungi.

Lin Xiwan moved her body slightly, leaned against the mycelium bench where her sister was sitting, her head resting on the edge of the bench, letting her sister’s legs rest on her shoulders,

Because she didn’t walk much or even exercise much, her sister’s legs were exceptionally soft and tender, and her feet were even softer than her sister’s hands.

And also because she didn’t walk, it was clean and without any peculiar smell, from the thighs to the feet, it was a milky fragrance.

This was also one of the reasons why Lin Xiwan liked to touch her sister’s legs. It was really because the feel was really good, not because Lin Xiwan was a leg control.

Suddenly, Lin Xiwan’s hands stopped, she raised her head and looked at her sister, and just happened to see her sister looking down at herself.

They both thought of a place at the same time.

The small half of the ash area that was burned after the battle…

The soil covered by building-trees and vine ashes was simply natural high-fertility soil, as long as the thick ash was washed away with water from Kun City.

“We can plant on Mr. Big Tree, it has so many nutrients in its body.” Huayibai, who was also sitting with her legs apart, looked at the two and gave her immature suggestion in a milky voice.

Huayibai’s words made the two stunned at the same time, and turned to look in the direction of Huayibai.

Uh…

Okay, this idea was very mycelium.

But this mode was only suitable for the growth of mycelium, and it was not suitable for the cultivation of economic crops such as wheat. After all, these were completely uninfected pure seeds.

If you wanted to achieve the effect of Huayibai, you had to re-infect, cultivate and select from the seeds…

This was not a simple workload, it required a very high time and manpower cost, which was unaffordable for them now.

“Uh…” Lin Xiwan opened her mouth slightly, and suddenly didn’t know how to explain these things to Huayibai.

But facing Huayibai’s strange words, Lin Jiayao was more experienced in dealing with them.

“Okay, we can try it as a backup plan in the future.” Lin Jiayao looked at Huayibai and said in a praising tone.

By the way, she reached out and rubbed her head.

“Hmph…” Hearing that her suggestion was adopted by Mommy, Huayibai was so happy that she was about to wag her tail. She raised her head, squinted her eyes, and enjoyed Mommy’s reward to the fullest.

 

Chapter One Hundred and Forty-One: A-rank?! Intelligence?! p2

After getting closer, Lin Jiayao finally saw clearly what the mass of things lying on the sand and gravel at the bottom of the water was.

Those were black spikes, swaying at the bottom of the water. These spikes almost covered the entire bottom of the canyon… at least four to five hundred meters wide!

The large blank area that Lin Jiayao detected just now was this “creature” that was shaking like a sea urchin’s spikes.

And its bottom was bottomless. In Lin Jiayao’s Bone Spike Lurker, a large vacuum area was formed.

This was… a skeletal zombie from the sea?

What the hell was this thing? A sea urchin? Or something else mutated?

Soon, with Lin Jiayao’s arrival, those spikes also moved.

“Dada-dada—”

Those spikes tapped each other quickly at the bottom of the sea, seeming to be probing what was approaching.

Lin Jiayao could feel a wave of water pushing in her direction, but soon, this feeling disappeared.

And the countless bone spurs lying on the sand also stopped.

“Boom boom boom…”

Suddenly, the bottom of the water vibrated, and there was a muffled thunder.

And the spikes at the bottom of the sea slowly cracked with the vibration. In the canyon, a canyon formed by black spike clusters cracked again.

Countless gravel and seawater were sucked into the huge mouth with a vortex, and even Lin Jiayao’s huge body of hundreds of meters of bone ray was irresistibly sucked.

Just when Lin Jiayao was about to “abandon the armor” and escape, her body stopped struggling as she approached the rift.

Because she could see that she was getting closer and closer to the Extraction Point.

The Extraction Point… was in that black, terrifying mouth.

Seeing the gravel and seawater forming a waterfall at the bottom of the water, Lin Jiayao hesitated for a while, and then accelerated towards the huge mouth.

No matter what was inside, she only had this way to go.

“Swish—”

After rushing into the giant mouth, Lin Jiayao, along with the waterfall, plunged into the depths of the black cave. She didn’t know how long she fell before she slammed into a soft, huge platform.

At the bottom of the platform, countless tiny tentacles were tearing at her bones and blood threads, but soon, a viscous liquid filled this entire area, and she could feel that her body, which had just been gnawed, was recovering quickly.

Where was this place…

The inside of a giant beast?

【Extracting: 7.1】

The countdown for extraction had already begun, but at the same time, Lin Jiayao also found that she could use Bone Spike Lurker to detect everything around her after entering here.

“Dada—”

The bone spurs on Lin Jiayao’s body quickly tapped on the soft platform on the ground, and everything within a radius of ten kilometers was quickly formed in Lin Jiayao’s mind.

She saw where she was.

This was a huge nest composed of chambers, and the place where she fell was one of the larger chambers.

Almost every soft chamber was soaked with countless nutrient solutions, just like the one Lin Jiayao was soaking in now.

And continuing to explore deeper, Lin Jiayao found that this nest full of dense chambers could not be detected to the end…

“Gurgle… gurgle gurgle?”

Suddenly, a strange bubble sound caught Lin Jiayao’s attention.

In the last 3 seconds before extraction, Lin Jiayao simulated the place where the sound came from through Bone Spike Lurker.

It was a huge, slowly opening earthy yellow eyeball below countless chambers. There were several crystals with a diameter of 30 meters wandering in the turbid vitreous body.

And at this time, these crystals were all aligned in Lin Jiayao’s direction, and their sight seemed to pass through layers of barriers and look at Lin Jiayao.

“Gurgle? Gurgle?”

Countless huge bubbles rose from the holes below its eyeballs, creating regular sounds. These sounds were also detected by Lin Jiayao in the last second.

This was…

This couldn’t be…

Trying to communicate with me?

When Lin Jiayao had this doubtful thought in her heart, the system countdown ended, and her consciousness quickly withdrew from this weird and terrifying space.

Even after the extraction, Lin Jiayao’s mind was still numb. She felt a wave of dizziness only after storing the thirty-odd blood crystals from the pouch in her Warehouse and leaving the settlement space.

“Hoo… hoo… hoo…”

Lin Jiayao, whose consciousness returned to her body, was breathing heavily, her whole body was like being drenched in water, full of sweat, and she quickly propped up her body and sat up.

At this time, Lin Jiayao had a feeling that she was alive.

An eyeball was as big as a zombie ray… What kind of terrifying and huge existence was this deep-sea monster…

And looking at the dense chambers born on its body, and the various blood crystals nourished in the chambers, and the rhythmic bubble sound at the end…

It was hard for Lin Jiayao not to suspect that this was an intelligent, and even trying to build a social system… intelligent zombie?

Was it A-rank?

Whether it was A-rank or not, the fear it brought her was definitely not comparable to B-rank.

“Huff…”

Under the effect of Hunting Rhythm, Lin Jiayao’s breathing quickly adjusted, and even the feeling of dizziness gradually dissipated, replaced by weakness in her limbs.

At least she didn’t faint directly.

The submerged city, the terrifying rift valley, and the terrifying underwater zombie lurking at the mouth of the sea, buried in the ground, whose size was unknown…

These apocalyptic scenes kept flashing back in Lin Jiayao’s mind, making her heart, which had been at ease, half cold.

She tried to dispel the image of that terrifying giant eye from her mind and stop thinking about these things.

After brushing the sweat-soaked hair from her forehead, Lin Jiayao noticed another object beside her.

Turning her head to look, she saw Huayibai, who didn’t need sleep, lying flat beside her, holding a red little quilt woven with mycelium in both hands, looking at her blankly.

“Mommy? You sweated a lot…”

Huayibai called out, startled by Lin Jiayao’s sudden movement.

“It’s okay…” Lin Jiayao reached out and patted Huayibai’s head, barely squeezing out a smile, “I’m fine.”

At this time, Huayibai seemed to have thought of something, and quickly sat up, raised the small quilt woven with mycelium, and wiped Lin Jiayao’s neck

“Huayibai will help Mommy wipe the sweat.” Huayibai wiped while observing Mommy’s expression changes.

If Mommy didn’t let her wipe, she would put her hand down immediately.

But Mommy didn’t object to her helping her wipe the sweat, and even closed her eyes directly, which made Huayibai excited.

Because the mycelium quilt was also Huayibai’s body.

On the surface, it looked like Huayibai was holding a mycelium quilt and wiping Lin Jiayao’s body.

But in Huayibai’s feeling, this was the same as using her tongue to lick the sweat on Mommy’s body.

While wiping, Huayibai’s small mouth had uncontrollably opened at some point, and her pink tongue stuck out, like a puppy dissipating heat.

At this time, Lin Jiayao did not pay attention to Huayibai’s current state.

Now she was closing her eyes tightly, checking the evolutions that could be retained.

No matter what was at the bottom of the sea, no matter whether that terrifying creature would threaten her, there was only one way to solve it and protect everything now.

Become stronger, become stronger.

As long as she could be strong enough to smash that underwater creature with one punch, there would not be so many worries.

「Please keep your evolution」
「1、【Ghost Swimmer Lv.1 (Gold): Allows your bones to perfectly integrate into any bones, and can hide your aura】」
「2、【Bone Manipulator Lv.3 (Gold): Can achieve off-body control of bones and use all their abilities; can connect your own bones with other creatures, share energy, and synchronize thinking】」
「3、【Bone Crystal Thread Lv.1 (Gold): Can generate threads around bones to store highly concentrated blood crystals; can convert highly concentrated blood crystal fluid into crystal hormones through threads and inject them into bones, greatly enhancing the strength of the injected person】」

Lin Jiayao’s consciousness swept back and forth among these three evolutions, and finally chose 2.

After all, this was an ability used by the main body.

The first evolution, Lin Jiayao had used it when logging into Mask, this was the skill that could swim freely in the bones of the zombie ray.

It was useful, it was indeed very strong. If she could drill into the opponent’s bones, she could directly torture the opponent to suicide.

But it was useless, it was actually quite useless… because this could only be regarded as a “civil war” divine skill.

It could have a miraculous effect against large-headed and skeletal zombies and Awakened like the zombie ray, but if it was against the previous flame awakening or lightning awakening… it would be a little powerless.

Especially against boneless ones like Huayibai, this skill directly became useless.

And the reason for not choosing 3 was because Lin Jiayao had a substitute for 3.

【Liquid Blood Crystal Veins Lv.1】 and 【Mutated Self-Healing Lv.1】 added together could achieve a similar lower-level substitute effect, and there was no need to specifically choose a strong one.

As for 2, it might be of great help to Lin Jiayao.

After Bone Manipulator was promoted to Lv.3, it would not cause damage to the manipulator’s bones. Choosing 2 might allow her to stand up.

Even if she couldn’t stand up, she could also use this talent to combine with her sister, maybe she could burst out with even stronger power.

As for how to combine, Lin Jiayao hadn’t figured it out yet, but it was always more useful than the other two evolutions.

After choosing Lv.3 Bone Manipulator, Lin Jiayao slowly opened her eyes.

After evolving to level 3, Lin Jiayao could clearly feel that her understanding of zombie control had undergone a qualitative leap.

Even if Lin Jiayao just raised her hand slightly and shot out a bone needle, as long as it pierced into the zombie’s body, Lin Jiayao could quickly remotely carry out destructive control on it.

Off-body control would still damage the bones, but if the bones were connected, it would not damage the bones.

Then wouldn’t it…

Lin Jiayao ignored Huayibai, who was helping her wipe her face with a blanket, and slowly lifted her long skirt, revealing her straight and slender legs.

“Ch…”

A bone spur slowly drilled out of Lin Jiayao’s arm, and according to Lin Jiayao’s wishes, it directly pierced her skin and connected to the direction of the pelvis.

……No response?

Or was it just that she was not yet proficient in this evolution?

She could find her sister to poke her and try, to see if it was her problem or the bone spur’s problem.

“Okay, no need to wipe,” Lin Jiayao blocked Huayibai with her left hand and asked, “Where’s your Sister Xi?”

“Eh? Ah.” Huayibai drilled countless mycelia out of her mouth, swallowed the blanket directly into her body, and did not waste a drop. After that, she closed her eyes and felt it.

Now a part of Huayibai’s body was still on standby on Lin Xiwan’s bracelet, so it was easy to locate Lin Xiwan’s location.

“Sister Xi seems to be… going upstairs… Oh, she jumped off the building again… um… she’s…”

Lin Xiwan, who was always exercising, made Huayibai not know how to describe her state.

“It’s okay, just take me there.” Lin Jiayao put her hand on Huayibai and nodded to her.

Huayibai also quickly understood Lin Jiayao’s meaning. She took a deep breath, and white skirts bled countless mycelia from the bottom of the skirt like blood.

The mycelium formed a much smaller flapping-wing flying insect and wrapped Lin Jiayao in it.

Then, Huayibai, who had turned into a flapping-wing flying insect with mycelium, carried her mother and crawled out of the villa, and then vibrated her wings in the open space.

She had to use Goldie to harvest all the blood crystals in Wisconsin quickly, and she had to get the evolution of Mask and A4 as soon as possible.

Lin Jiayao, who was in Huayibai’s body, opened the Hideout, and then clicked on 【Training Grounds Lv.2】, directly invested 50 blood crystals, and began to build.

12 hours of construction time…

When the level 2 training ground was built, she could strengthen herself tirelessly.

Lin Xiwan’s current location was not very far away. Soon, Huayibai carried Lin Jiayao and approached a square center surrounded by building-trees.

Chapter One Hundred and Forty-One: A-rank?! Intelligence?! p1

“Crack, crack—”
“Woo—!”

The zombie ray at the bottom of the huge rift valley was weakly flapping its pectoral fins like a broken robot.

The uncoordinated movements looked like two souls were fighting for control of one body.

And in fact, the struggle within the ray’s body was more intense than imagined.

If one could see through the ray’s skin, one could clearly see that the entire long spine of the ray was covered with blood-red threads.

These threads all emerged from within the bone and were connected to each other on the outside. Every time these threads flashed red, the ray’s body would tremble.

But even so, the ray still maintained its hard bones, resisting the control of the threads.

“Crack—”

Another tooth-aching sound rang out, and a thin crack began to appear on the spine of the zombie ray.

It was also this crack that brought severe pain, making the zombie ray completely crazy.

“Woo————!”

A roar, several times louder than a train whistle, erupted from the ray at the bottom of the immense canyon waters.

Along with the roar, the scales on its whole body opened at the same time, spraying out a large amount of heat and bubbles at the bottom of the water.

The huge thrust formed supported the zombie ray’s body to quickly float towards the surface of the water, and then broke through the water and rushed upwards.

“Woo—!”

After a huge cry, the zombie ray, like a whale emerging from the water, brought up a large amount of water, and the scales did not close in the air, directly smashing onto the water surface with its back facing the water.

“Thump—”
“Splash—”

Just a zombie smashing into the water actually created a sound like a huge battering ram hitting the ground.

“Boom—”

The water splashed upwards like a fountain. Because the scales did not close when it fell, after smashing into the water, under the action of gravity and its own weight, the scales on the back of the zombie ray shattered inch by inch.

Even the internal bones and various internal organs were completely cracked under this suicidal heavy blow, and blood continued to flow out of its body, staining a large area of water red.

And Lin Jiayao, who was inside its body, almost fell apart under this level of impact.

But the zombie ray that entered the water still didn’t stop. After losing its scales, it began to consume blood crystals like it was completely giving up, spraying flames.

It was upside down in the water, spraying flames and crashing into the canyon on one side.

“Rumble—”

Under the impact of this giant zombie, the canyon was shaken violently, and a large number of boulders fell along the canyon and hit the zombie ray.

Its skin and armor were smashed into pits, and even a sharp boulder directly penetrated its relatively soft pectoral fin after removing the armor.

Damn…

The whole skeleton of the zombie ray was almost falling apart, and Lin Jiayao’s controlled Mask was still connected to its spine, and it was also damaged.

No, she had to implement effective control quickly…

No, she had to kill it quickly!

“Ch—”

Lin Jiayao, who was connected to the spine of the ray, began to inject energy into the ray’s spine with all her strength, frantically strengthening its bones.

And Lin Jiayao’s Mask body drilled out from the connection between the spine and the skull. At this time, Mask was like a fish in water in the bones and could enter and exit at will.

“Crack—”

She slammed her arms hard, trying to insert them into the connection between the ray’s spine and skull, but the connection was too tight and the defense was too strong, and Lin Jiayao couldn’t twist its huge head at all.

There was no other way…

Lin Jiayao’s body merged into the huge spine below again, and the body of half a corpse dragging blood threads was like a ghost, swimming in the solid bones.

It was smoother than swimming in water.

This feeling was really familiar…

Lin Jiayao, who was swimming in a “sea” of red and white, sighed in her heart.

It seemed that she had had this kind of time before… Drilling into other people’s bodies and stirring up their brains…

That was really an unbearable memory, even writing it into a novel would be censored and banned.

Soon, Lin Jiayao “swam” all the way along the bone to the ray’s brain.

Compared with its huge body, the ray’s brain was pitifully small, almost only the size of Mask’s body, shrinking inside the thick skull.

Generally speaking, it was difficult for anyone to directly penetrate such a thick skull, which was a bone with at least B-rank defense hardness.

But as long as it was bone, in front of Mask, it was as if it was undefended.

Similarly, boneless zombies like fungal zombies would also be Mask’s nemesis.

Without hesitation, Lin Jiayao directly drilled into the ray’s brain cavity, condensed the bone shape of her hands, and very skillfully twisted the black brain.

“Ch—”
“Patter—”

The brain of the B-rank zombie ray was much harder than other soft human brains and zombie brains, and the sound it made was not so disgusting.

If Lin Jiayao had to use something to describe it, it would be a huge black walnut with holes, a viscous and slippery outer shell, and a little soft.

Why describe it like this?

Because there was really a layer of “kernel” inside its brain’s harder outer layer.

It wasn’t until Lin Jiayao reached in with both hands and completely stirred the inside that Lin Jiayao finally felt that the zombie ray had no movement.

“Huff…” Looking at the dark mass of brain in front of her, Lin Jiayao slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

After looking at the stirred brain in front of her for a few more seconds, Lin Jiayao slowly shook her head.

Forget it.

She was not controlling A4 or Goldie now, there was no need to taste it, the brain had no bonus to Mask.

At this time, the zombie ray, which had lost any movement, began to gradually sink to the bottom of the dark canyon, until it stopped in the darkness where no sound could be heard.

And in this dark space, this seemingly dead zombie ray was undergoing unimaginable changes.

Its outer skin began to peel off layer by layer, and even the scales on the epidermis fell to the bottom of the rift valley one by one.

After those scales fell off, its body skin showed honeycomb-like holes.

It turned out that those “scales” were irregular prismatic armor plates, only the slightly flat side was exposed on the epidermis.

These prismatic armor plates also had a hole connected to the skin for extracting blood and blood crystals. Extracting blood crystals and spraying flames would be carried out in the scales, and opening the scales would directly spray out the flames.

And each irregular scale could have a slight turn in these holes, used to control the direction of the spray.

It was hard to believe that this was something that a deep-sea zombie with no intelligence could evolve… Blood crystals played an important role in evolution.

But at this time, these scales were also gradually falling off because the flesh and blood were peeling off the body. Soon, the blood, flesh, and internal organs of the zombie ray were all peeled off the body, leaving only a complete skeleton wrapped in red blood threads.

This skeleton flickered quietly at the bottom of the water. After a long time, it slowly moved.

With its densely packed bone spurs like fins, and the dorsal and ventral fins at the tail slowly bending, supporting its huge body to stand up obliquely.

The original zombie ray’s appearance was not as aggressive as the devil ray, and it looked more rounded.

But now that it had become a skeleton, it was like an ancient biological fossil, with a strong sense of shock and threat.

Especially its skull, the bone spurs originally growing in the oral cavity, now pierced out like steel needles, even piercing through the skull.

This made its skull look like the head of a skeletal zombie.

The controller of this huge skeleton was Lin Jiayao.

At this time, Lin Jiayao was familiarizing herself with the huge body she was controlling now, and the flapping skeletal fins set off undercurrents in the water.

Finally, after the last bit of the tailbone was connected by blood threads, Lin Jiayao slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Completely controlled.

This brainless big fish was unexpectedly difficult to deal with, and it was impossible to control it while it was still alive.

In order to control its body, Lin Jiayao had to destroy its brain, melt its flesh and blood, and then completely control it.

But the price was that Lin Jiayao only obtained a whole set of B-rank bones. Because of the size advantage, it had power and defense beyond the general B-rank.

In any case, this was also a qualified body.

As for the blood crystals of this zombie, only about twenty were precipitated, and most of the other blood crystal energy was in the flesh and bones.

This was also why zombies needed to gnaw on flesh and blood. It was too inefficient to only eat blood crystals.

And now, Lin Jiayao naturally did not have that psychological barrier to gnawing on zombie meat.

She had eaten even more disgusting things, what was this?

Besides, Mask had no sense of taste, and didn’t even need to use its mouth to eat, and there was no reason to waste these flesh and blood.

After putting six scales and three large pieces of meat into the Safehouse, Lin Jiayao manipulated the giant ray skeleton body, slowly moved at the bottom of the water, and floated above the pile of flesh and blood floating with black blood.

These scales and meat were to be brought to A4. This flame-spraying ability was quite good, and Lin Jiayao wanted to try if A4 could also evolve this ability.

She had a hunch that if A4 could obtain this ability, its attack form should be optimized a lot.

The blood threads on the bones drooped down one by one, connected to the flesh and blood below, and began to absorb the energy inside.

As for the precipitated blood crystals, Lin Jiayao stored them in a pouch crafted from woven blood threads and jagged bone fragments.

After absorbing the flesh and blood, Lin Jiayao felt that all the previous consumption of Mask had been well replenished, and even made Mask stronger than when it had just evolved.

Lin Jiayao looked at the Extraction Point and the extraction time, and saw that she was only 8km away from the nearest Extraction Point, and the extraction time was only 15 minutes left.

With Lin Jiayao’s current state, within this time, as long as she didn’t encounter other zombies, the extraction should be more than enough.

But if she wanted to go to other Extraction Points, this extraction time would be enough.

Because of the battle, Lin Jiayao was brought to the bottom of the canyon she saw before.

Fortunately, there was an Extraction Point nearby. If there was still only one Extraction Point as before, Mask might have been lost.

Let’s extract quickly…

In order to save time, Lin Jiayao directly used the swimming method to approach the Extraction Point from the bottom of the water.

She was preparing to climb up after getting closer to the Extraction Point, which could save a lot of travel time.

But the more she swam at the bottom of the water, the more Lin Jiayao felt that something was wrong.

This Extraction Point… seemed wrong.

Wasn’t it the Wetland Park Extraction Point in Yangzhou City?

She should have already entered the territory of Yangzhou City, right? Why did it feel that the canyon was getting wider instead.

And this location… If she continued to swim forward, the Extraction Point would only be at the bottom of the water.

Lin Jiayao couldn’t help it. While swimming, her body slowly floated up.

Now the large rift valley was almost completely filled with seawater. Lin Jiayao even saw many steel bars that were like hair to her during the ascent.

There were also buildings that seemed to be able to be swept down with a sweep, and nearly half of them were submerged in water.

Was this still the Yangzhou City she knew…

If Lin Jiayao could make expressions now, her expression must be dumbfounded.

Although she knew before leaving Yangzhou City that the once-in-a-century typhoon would definitely flood Yangzhou City, which had a paralyzed drainage system.

She didn’t expect that this destruction would be so serious.

The city was flooded not only by typhoons, floods, dam breaks, or drainage systems, but most importantly, the rift valley that Lin Jiayao was swimming in now.

This huge crack made the ground on both sides tilt a lot, which was the key to being submerged.

But… how did this big rift valley appear?

It was like a giant who regarded the planet as a cake, and cut a piece here with a cake knife… Besides natural disasters, only A-rank could do this.

At least none of Lin Jiayao’s B-rank zombies could do such a terrifying thing.

Lin Jiayao sighed softly in her heart, mourning for the camps that were still guarding nearby against the rainstorm.

In this hellish scene, let alone people, even land zombie groups could not survive.

And Lin Jiayao had been swimming for so long, but she hadn’t even seen a zombie fish.

You know, this huge canyon, which was originally a river, Lin Jiayao had been here when it was still a river.

At that time, Lin Jiayao also lured a group of corpses to let them jump into the river to feed the fish. At that time, a huge zombie fish ten meters long jumped out, and there were more swimming in the water.

Could it be that they were eaten by the fish from the sea?

No… In that case, there should be sea fish, right?

Why didn’t she even see sea fish?

The only thing that could explain Lin Jiayao’s doubts might be the “territory” problem.

This entire water area might be the territory originally controlled by the zombie ray she was controlling, so other zombie fish would not approach after smelling the smell or pheromones.

Let’s continue to swim towards the Extraction Point… This place is creepy.

Soon, as Lin Jiayao got closer and closer to the Extraction Point, her assumption about “territory” was broken.

As she got closer and closer to the Extraction Point, there were more and more strange fish nearby, and Lin Jiayao found that those fish were approaching her Extraction Point.

Is it really good to have so many zombies at the Extraction Point?

Through Bone Spike Lurker, Lin Jiayao could even see through the vibration that there were some half-human, half-fish species walking in the sand at the bottom of the water.

Fish-headed and human-bodied… looking like the Deep Ones in Cthulhu Mythos, but these zombies with rotten skin must be much more disgusting than the Deep Ones.

“Dada-dada—”

The densely packed bone spurs on Lin Jiayao’s body tapped each other, transmitting some information from farther away to her mind, and the surrounding terrain was also quickly constructed in Lin Jiayao’s mind.

But soon, Lin Jiayao frowned.

Just in front, at the Extraction Point marked by the system, Bone Spike Lurker showed a whole blank in her mind.

It was as if there was a BUG when playing a game, and the texture of a street was not loaded.

No… this was not a BUG…

In the depths of the canyon, something was blocking the detection of Bone Spike Lurker!

Blocking Bone Spike Lurker?

Mask also had a move that could block detection, and it had it when it was C-rank, that was 【Feigned Death Camouflage Lv.1】.

But even Feigned Death Camouflage couldn’t directly make other people’s Bone Spike Lurker appear this kind of distorted picture transmission, right?

If it were normal, Lin Jiayao would definitely turn around and leave when encountering this strange situation, and directly change to another Extraction Point.

But now, the extraction time was only a short five minutes left. In this time, even A4 could not guarantee that it could run directly from one Extraction Point to the next.

In any case… at least that was the Extraction Point determined by the system, which was safe for the system. There was no way.

Less than five hundred meters away from the Extraction Point, Lin Jiayao could finally see a little faint light through the darkness at the bottom of the water.

This was…
