Lin Fan swung the Frost Mourner in his hand, flinging the sticky blood off the blade, and given the current situation, it wouldn’t take long to completely clear out the zombies.
"Running away is fine, we’ll meet again. I hope next time we meet, you can bring all the zombies from Huang City to me."
Without much thought, he continued forward, clearing out zombies.
"That’s the situation. I’ve always suspected that the recent surge in zombies might have been caused by the mysterious zombie controlling Zhou Peng, but this afternoon I encountered a similar zombie. However, the zombies it summoned weren’t of high level, mostly common zombies with few Evolutionary Zombies," Lin Fan explained to everyone.
Gu Hang pondered, "Considering the developments up to now, it’s quite normal to encounter some strange zombies. What concerns me the most now is that the zombies in those other cities are steadily evolving. It’s hard to predict how far they will evolve."
Zombies in Huang City had continually been cleared out by Lin Fan, yet powerful zombies still appeared from time to time.
In other cities without Lin Fan, how far would the zombies evolve?
Han Shuang, Mao Ping, Zhou Yang all wore very serious expressions.
Stabilizing Huang City was inevitable.
But eventually, they would have to face the zombies from the outside world. Considering how terrifying the zombies were already, stronger and smarter ones would surely appear over time.
When they learn that Huang City has human survivors, they will definitely launch a fierce attack.
Lin Fan said, "No worries, I’m very confident in my strength. I’ll take care of it."
In moments , Lin Fan never acted too modest, as that would make them uneasy. He needed to fill them with confidence.
he continued speaking.
"Old Zhou, Dong Jia, your abilities should have advanced to the fourth stage, right?" Lin Fan asked.
Old Zhou nodded, "Yes, the fourth stage now. To reach the fifth stage, we need to take the Red Crystals."
Their advancements during this period were tremendous.
"Tan Qing, what about you guys?" Lin Fan inquired.
Tan Qing said, "Second stage."
Lin Fan said, "We still have crystals here which should help you advance to the third stage, but the remaining Golden Crystals will likely only be enough for two people to reach the fourth stage."
He was thinking of enhancing the abilities of all Awakeners here.
The stronger their abilities, the more help they would have in combating zombies.
Though Old Zhou had only advanced to the fourth stage and never demonstrated excessively strong abilities, that was always because Lin Fan was there, and normal zombies couldn’t exhibit their strength.
With Old Zhou’s strength now, he could combat mature mixed-type zombies.
Maybe not necessarily kill them,
but definitely not get instantly killed by mature mixed-type zombies as before.
Old Zhou was a strength Awakener, perhaps not very fast, but his strength and reaction speed had greatly improved.
Listening to them discussing their awakening abilities, Gu Hang couldn’t hide his envy, especially after seeing Old Zhou easily lift a bulldozer with his bare hands, seemingly without much effort.
"Little Fan, given the current rate of progress, how soon do you think we can completely clear the zombies from Huang City?" Gu Hang wanted to know the approximate time, considering the eventual total elimination of the zombies there.
Such an achievement would indeed be one for the history books.
"At most ten days," Lin Fan replied confidently. Even if it might go over, he was prepared to work overtime, night and day, to get it done.
Tan Qing and the others pursed their lips, looking at Lin Fan as if he were a deity.
Eliminating a few hundred or a thousand zombies was a proud feat for them.
But Lin Fan was tasked with hunting millions, tens of millions of zombies.
Just thinking about it was terrifying.
Old Zhou said, "Our abilities are up to par now; we’ll go out to clear tomorrow too."
Lin Fan nodded, not disagreeing. When everyone worked together, a better future was assured.
Zhou Yang watched as the steel beast carrying Old Zhou, Dong Jia, Zhu Cheng, Ye Qian drove away.
"A really good four-person team. I should find a team too," he thought.
Zhou Yang also wanted to go out and hunt zombies.
Although he had not been at the Sunshine Shelter for long, his abilities had improved significantly thanks to the crystals, enough to contend with zombies.
Yet going out alone seemed somewhat dangerous.
Suddenly, he saw a figure and immediately recognized it as Zhao Kang, an Awakener from the Xiangshan Base.
He scurried over, "Bro Zhao, what are you up to?"
Zhao Kang, with a smile, said, "I heard they have a pile of zombie corpses over there, and I thought I’d go help move them."
Zhou Yang said, "You’re an Awakener; you have more important tasks. Let others handle that. I want to go out and hunt zombies, so I’m thinking of forming a team to go together. Are you interested?"
"Yes, definitely interested, it’s just that I..." Zhao Kang hesitated, seemingly troubled.
Zhou Yang clapped him on the shoulder, "No worries, I know your ability level isn’t high yet, but with the boost from the crystals, you’ll rank up quickly. Don’t doubt yourself; believe that you’re the best."
Hearing Zhou Yang’s encouragement, Zhao Kang, who had felt somewhat inferior, lifted his head with a sparkle in his eyes.
