Wang Tao wrapped his arms around Lan Yulian’s waist and then jumped straight down from the plane.
The distance was naturally no difficulty for Wang Tao, neither he nor Lan Yulian lost any HP. Moreover, they landed right in the middle of the several powered armors where Duan Xuchang and his team were positioned, a zombie-free and very safe area.
Lan Yulian immediately used Healing Light.
A green halo spread out from Lan Yulian as the center, enveloping all the powered armors in the vicinity in the blink of an eye.
As for Lan Yulian’s role as a healer, Duan Xuchang had seen it before and naturally showed no surprise.
However, when they attacked the zombies, they suddenly felt something was different.
"Hmm? Is there fire on our blades?"
Duan Xuchang was puzzled.
Wasn’t his blade supposed to be electrically charged? Why were there sparks of fire when killing zombies?
Duan Xuchang’s blade chopped onto the head of a fourth-order elite zombie. The blow wasn’t fatal, but flames instantly burst out over the head and body of the elite zombie!
"It’s not an illusion!"
Watching the zombie burst into flames, Duan Xuchang immediately shifted his attacks to other targets.
By the time he had killed other zombies, the first one had been burned to death, and the flames had spread to others.
"The damage from this fire is so high!"
Duan Xuchang was surprised and then noticed that his five teammates in powered armors were also occasionally setting zombies on fire, causing massive zombie casualties!
"What are these flames?"
If unsure, just ask. Duan Xuchang felt it was probably related to Wang Tao and the others.
"This is fire damage that Jade Lotus added to them. Fire damage has a chance to ignite," explained Wang Tao.
Upon hearing Wang Tao’s words, Duan Xuchang was immediately startled.
A healer can do that? Is it an ability or equipment?
He was very curious but didn’t have time to ask more questions.
The chance of triggering ignition from fire attribute was not high, but with six powered armors and their fast attack speed...
In just a moment, the area turned into a sea of flames!
Seeing that her healing was effective on the powered armors and worked very well, Lan Yulian excitedly turned to Wang Tao.
It was then that Lan Yulian noticed Wang Tao frowning at something in his hand.
Wang Tao didn’t respond immediately but instead passed the object in his hand to Lan Yulian.
Lan Yulian realized that what Wang Tao was holding was a red crystal core.
But she felt something was different about this crystal core... Lan Yulian instinctively took it and then seemed to realize something.
"Eh? Where’s the shadow inside this crystal core?"
It’s well-known that inside every crystal core there’s a tiny shadow, and to determine the exact ability of the crystal core, one would look at the shadow inside.
For instance, a shadow of a stomach indicates a Glutton Crystal Core; a black shadow of a little man signifies Toughness; and a "+" indicates an Ascension Crystal Core...
But the red crystal core Wang Tao had given her—had nothing inside, just pure red... What’s going on?

Wang Tao charged into the horde of zombies, killed another fourth-order elite zombie, and successfully obtained a purple crystal core from its brain.
[Level 4 Crystal Core]
[Quality: Excellent (60%)]
The names of the two crystal cores Wang Tao had just obtained didn’t have any ability suffix, and there were no ability shadows inside the cores!
Could it be that the crystal cores no longer contained abilities?
Skeptical, Wang Tao killed several more elite zombies, including fourth, third, and even second level ones. He obtained several crystal cores.
These crystal cores only had the level, quality, and purity attributes, but no abilities!
Wang Tao couldn’t figure out what was happening and could only continue to kill zombies.
At this moment, Lan Yulian passed him a blue Level 2 crystal core.
Although she was primarily a healer, she was not without combat capabilities and easily killed a level 2 zombie. The crystal core she handed to Wang Tao had a shadow inside!
"Level 2 Rush Crystal Core?"
Wang Tao furrowed his brows, having just noticed that it was from a level 2 zombie Lan Yulian had killed.
This meant that after evolving, some zombies’ inner crystal cores contained abilities, but most did not?
Although the crystal cores without abilities had no side effects, they... seemed impossible to merge. What use were unmergeable crystal cores?
Wang Tao’s expression grew heavy.
Some time later, the train arrived.
Although there were still many zombies in the horde, those near the railroad tracks had been mostly cleared out.
The train slowed down a bit and opened its side doors.
Duan Xuchang called out. Their powered armors’ backs and soles emitted blue flames, and they jumped onto the train in a flash.
Wang Tao embraced Lan Yulian’s waist and easily jumped on board as well.
"Comrades, the final problem has been solved! We should arrive in about three hours!"
Duan Xuchang’s powered armor face mask opened as he smiled and told everyone.
Hearing this, everyone was extremely excited. They were finally arriving!
Wang Tao also set aside his concerns about the crystal cores for now.
A little over two hours later, the scenery outside grew more barren, the rain completely stopped, and the sunset burst through the clouds, dyeing the sky golden.
Overwhelmed by the beautiful scene, everyone was somewhat intoxicated.
At that moment, Ding Yuqin suddenly exclaimed, pointing somewhere.
Everyone followed Ding Yuqin’s direction and indeed saw a colorful rainbow spanning the sky.
The women instinctively marveled.
Suddenly, Duan Xuchang’s voice rang in everyone’s earpieces.
Everyone quickly turned around.
A huge shadow slowly emerged on the horizon!
