For a period of time.
Liu Pi was very tired.
Simultaneously controlling sixteen zombies and engaging in battles with countless ability users.
Under his control, there was no life-threatening danger, at most broken arms or legs.
He could be treated by Wang Shouli.
What was there to fear?
However.
Compared to Liu Pi, Zhou Haiyang was even more tired.
The innermost part of the air-raid shelter, a 'forbidden zone' specifically demarcated by Qin Feng, where ordinary members were not allowed to approach.
"Haiyang, time to eat!" Su Linlin entered with a plate of food.
Suddenly!
A steel ingot floated in the air.
Under Zhou Haiyang's control, it was continuously twisting and reshaping.
This was his daily work.
With sufficient Level 1 crystals to replenish his energy, he did not worry about mental power depletion.
Nowadays.
The entire base was comprised of ability users.
The lowest being Level 2.
Qin Feng had also announced that everyone would absorb Level 3 crystals.
Therefore, Level 1 crystals had become mere supplies.
"Linlin!"
Zhou Haiyang paused temporarily.
Despite being busy with work, he still made time to be with Su Linlin, and their relationship had progressed rapidly.
In the apocalypse.
Certain things were easily understood.
If it felt right, there was no need to hesitate.
"Eat quickly, don't let it get cold."
"Linlin..."
Suddenly!
Zhou Haiyang embraced her tightly.
Su Linlin's body stiffened, and her face instantly turned red.
She might not have eaten pork, but she had seen pigs run, right?
A man's intentions...
She understood.
Since their relationship was established, this step was inevitable. Blushing, she whispered, "Tonight... I'll wait for you."
Just then.
"Caw caw!"
Bird Grandpa, wearing overalls, rushed in.
"Bird Grandpa, you've come at the perfect time." Zhou Haiyang said with a dejected expression.
Damn it!
Trying to ruin my good time, weren't you?
"Caw caw..." Bird Grandpa gestured with his wings.
"Captain is calling me?"
Zhou Haiyang immediately walked out.
After a while.
A person and a bird entered the conference room.
Most of the members of Team One and Team Two were already there.
"Caw caw..."
As soon as Bird Grandpa ran in, he started gesturing to everyone.
Towards the end of his gestures.
He clapped his two small wings together.
*Clap clap*.
"Holy crap!"
Zhou Haiyang's face flushed, and he angrily said, "You damned bird! You were eavesdropping on me?!"
"We're playing poker tonight," Zhang Heng said with a sly grin.
"Now that you mention it, it reminds me of Stephen Chow's movie, where they said 'Playing Tigers Tonight'," Liu Pi chimed in with a tease.
"Aren't women like tigers? She-tigers!"
Playing poker tonight.
Playing tigers tonight.
Tonight...
Fighting women?
"What are you guys even talking about?" Xiao Ruoruo was completely confused.
She hadn't seen that movie.
"Sister Ruoruo!"
Han Xiao, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, crept closer and whispered in her ear.
The next moment.
Xiao Ruoruo's face turned crimson, and she glared at Liu Pi and Zhang Heng, "No man is good!"
"Ahem..."
Qin Feng happened to walk in.
What was going on?
Men were being dismissed as bad again?
"Captain!"
Everyone stood up.
Qin Feng glanced at the time on his personal terminal: "Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, the zombies will undergo their third evolution..."
"We're going to Shangjing, right?!"
He Dong was excited: "I don't have to stay behind this time!"
"We won't be hunting this time," Qin Feng said.
"What?!"
"Captain, you said that once the zombies evolve, we must hunt them immediately."
"If we keep absorbing Level 3 crystals, we won't catch up to the zombie evolution!"
A group of team members expressed their confusion.
Qin Feng raised his hand, signaling for everyone to quiet down: "A delay of a couple of days won't matter. I have my plan – don't you want to catch Zhang Tianbao anymore?"
Zhang Tianbao?
Everyone was momentarily stunned.
Then, their eyes lit up, and their fists clenched.
Especially those who had personally witnessed Zhang Tianbao luring survivors, like Zhang Heng and a few others, their eyes glinted with ferocity.
That scoundrel!
He should have died long ago!
"That's right!"
Xiao Ruoruo's eyes brightened: "You said that after the zombies' third evolution, Zhang Tianbao would have nowhere to run!"
Qin Feng nodded: "Alright! This time, the duration is uncertain. You all guard the base well."
"After I leave, the Vice-Captain will be in charge."
"Ruoruo and He Dong will assist."
"Haiyang, come with me!"
"Me?!" Zhou Haiyang looked utterly bewildered.
"You're the only one who can fly, who else would it be?" Qin Feng retorted.
"Captain, you don't know..."
At this mention, Zhang Heng immediately perked up, a mischievous smile on his face: "He has a date tonight."
"What?" Qin Feng hadn't quite caught up.
"Playing tigers—specifically, she-tigers!" Liu Pi explained.
"Huh?"
Qin Feng hadn't heard the preceding conversation, nor had he seen Bird Grandpa's gestures.
He didn't understand what they were talking about.
"Captain! Don't listen to them, let's go!" Zhou Haiyang's face had turned red.
Suddenly!
Liu Xiaohui overlapped his hands.
He pressed down.
Then released.
Making a 'clapping' sound: "Someone has a date tonight."
Fine.
Even Qin Feng, as dense as he was, finally understood.
"Honeymoon?"
He calculated the time: "We'll depart at seven in the morning."
"Yes!" Zhou Haiyang responded.
"Do you need any Blue Pills?" Qin Feng asked.
"What?"
"For delaying the inevitable."
"..."
Zhou Haiyang immediately remembered that time when Qin Feng almost pushed Han Ling down.
But he didn't.
He had thought Qin Feng was a quick shooter.
Asking him if he needed Blue Pills.
He hadn't expected the Captain to still remember this and even take the opportunity for revenge.
...
The next morning.
Zhou Haiyang walked out of the air-raid shelter.
Qin Feng was admiring everyone battling zombies.
The grand martial arts competition was in full swing, aiming to obtain Level 5 crystal rewards.
Liu Pi was close to collapsing from exhaustion.
Imagine this.
Hundreds of people fighting zombies in rotation every day.
Others would come down after one match.
But he?
He had to continuously control the zombies!
If Qin Feng hadn't given him hundreds of Level 1 crystals to replenish his energy, he would have already vomited blood from exhaustion.
It was a shame...
Currently, no one had awakened new abilities.
Awakening.
Belonged only to a select few geniuses.
The proportion of geniuses was extremely low.
"Captain, when are we leaving?" Zhou Haiyang walked over.
"Now!" Qin Feng stood up.
"Where to?"
"Jiangnan, Tianmu Mountain."
So far?
Zhou Haiyang was stunned.
From the beginning of the plot of "Legion of the Living Dead" until now, their range of activities had been limited to Shangjing and its surroundings.
The furthest they had gone was Chengde.
This time, they would be crossing over a thousand kilometers!
At the speed of the Dark Giant Bird.
The entire journey would take about two hours.
It was seven o'clock now.
By the time they reached their destination, the zombies would have almost evolved.
In his previous life.
Qin Feng had met someone.
That person's strength wasn't much.
But they possessed a very peculiar ability.
In his previous life, he met that person after the third plot arc.
During a conversation, the person claimed that during the second plot arc, when the zombies underwent their third evolution, they had almost lost their life.
At that time, it was in Tianmu Mountain!
In his previous life, Qin Feng hadn't asked where the person was before that.
Therefore.
He could only wait for the zombies' third evolution before going to Tianmu Mountain to find that person.
Going earlier would be useless.
...
Blue Star.
The Great Xia live broadcast room was buzzing.
Excitement!
Billions of netizens were going wild with excitement.
--'Zhang Tianbao is finally going to die!'
--'If he doesn't die, I will! I'm so angry I could vomit blood!'
--'Let's discuss, after capturing that scoundrel, how should he be executed?'
--'Discuss what! Can you send your opinions to the apocalyptic planet so Brother Feng can see them?'
--'Look! Zhang Tianbao is causing trouble again!'
--'It's fine, he's going to die soon anyway.'
--'No! Brother Feng said that this time he's going to find someone, and the time is uncertain.'
What if Zhang Tianbao acted first, before Qin Feng found the person?
