After they were done, the Phantom team members gathered the zombies’ corpses in the road not far from the gas station. Before Shen Jinzhe could burn the corpses, Feng Yun suddenly said, "Brother Shen, please wait a moment."
Hearing this, Shen Jinzhe stopped and asked, "What’s wrong?"
Feng Yun looked at the pile of zombies’ corpses thoughtfully for a while before he said, "I was thinking that since we can burn these zombies, would it be possible for us to use them as fuel?"
The moment he said this, the members’ eyes flickered with surprise.
After a moment, Yin Yusheng said, "It’s not impossible to use them as fuel. Right now, we are in the summer season. When we enter the winter season, we will need to find firewood or coals as fuel to keep the temperature warm."
"Even if we manage to find firewood or coals, the amount wouldn’t be enough to sustain the entire base. But zombies are everywhere. We can just burn them as fuel and use a central heating system to keep the temperature warm indoors," he added.
As soon as they heard this, the previously nauseating, hard-to-deal zombies’ corpses now looked like a pile of fuel in their eyes.
"But, how can we store them? If we put them directly into our space, it might contaminate the supplies in our space," Xiao Qi asked.
Hearing this, Wen Mo said, "We can just compress them and seal them off in a metal cube. Without air leakage, we don’t have to worry the zombie virus will contaminate the supplies in your space."
When they heard his words, they nodded in agreement. Afterward, they looked at the Wen brothers and said, "Then, we will leave this matter to you, brothers!"
This time, Wen Kai and Wen Mo let out a sigh and thought, ’In the end, the job is still left for us to do.’
Since they had to compress the zombies’ corpses into a cube, Qin Luzi was called over by them. After they explained their plans, he nodded and said, "No problem."
Raising his hands, he flicked his wrists several times, and the zombies’ corpses were turned into a five cubic meters cube. 1,000 corpses were pressed into a cube. Just by this alone, they knew how tightly they were pressed.
After he was done, Wen Kai and Wen Mo created six metal plates and sealed the zombies’ corpses tightly. When the cube was done, they couldn’t even smell the rancid stench coming from it.
"It should be safe now," Wen Mo said with satisfaction.
Feng Yun nodded, and with a wave of his hand, he stored the cube into his space. To make sure that everything was safe, he put the cube at the corner and created a space barrier to separate it from the area where he stored the supplies. With double protection, he was confident that this method would work.
When they were done cleaning up, they went to the gas station and saw their Captain and Sister-in-law were cleaning up the convenience store.
Seeing how Jiao Lizhi stored everything, they recalled how she even took away the underground oil tanks. This gas station was the largest in the county town. From the previous experiences, she would take away the underground oil tanks again.
They entered the convenience store and asked, "Captain, should we cook lunch or just eat a self-heating meal?"
Since they have fresh ingredients, they prefer to eat a warm meal. So, Jiao Lizhi said, "We just caught a giant octopus in the lake. Let’s have hot and sour seafood noodles for lunch."
After she said this, she checked her space and saw Fu Guai was sleeping while hugging the giant octopus’ tentacle. He only ate one-third of the tentacle, so Jiao Lizhi took out the rest.
The moment the tentacle appeared, everyone was shocked. Fortunately, Jiao Lizhi already stored everything in the store to her space so there is a lot of space for this tentacle.
With a wave of her hand, a water blade flew at the tentacle at a fast speed and sliced off a little part of it, weighing around thirty kilograms. Then, she stored the rest of the tentacle back into her space.
While they were busy cooking outside, inside the space, Fu Guai raised his head and stared at the foggy sky with resentment. He didn’t know why that person was always snatching away his food. If she came again next time, he would let her know that he was unhappy.
With this thought, he hugged the tentacle tightly and went back to sleep. During his sleep, the energy he obtained from eating the mutant octopus, mutant fruits, and pond water was slowly absorbed by a crystal core embedded inside his brain.
Besides the transparent crystal core that was artificially planted on his brain, the silver crystal core located several inches under his navel was also absorbing the energy frantically.
The more it absorbed the energy, the purer it became. The previous dark lines on the crystal were slowly disappearing one by one, revealing its true appearance.
Not knowing that she had offended someone, Jiao Lizhi was enjoying her noodles. Due to their big appetite, they prepared four big pots of noodles and they managed to clear everything in less than an hour.
After filling their bellies, everyone cleaned up the pots and utensils before they went to get a nap.
Since they were outside, Jiao Lizhi and Jin Xuyan took the initiative to guard the area while the rest of the team went for a short nap.
While they were chatting, Jin Xuyan suddenly said with a frown, "Energy fluctuation? Someone is advancing."
Hearing this, the two of them quickly went to check on the members. The moment they saw the situation, both of them were stunned.
They had seen lots of bizarre things in their past life, but this was the first time for them to witness so many people breaking through at the same time while sleeping.
