Hou Ying fainted without warning, which shocked Li Xuanyuan!
Ignoring the existence of the spider plant, he hugged Hou Ying and ran in the direction of the car.
But just like his sudden coma, not long after he left the shop, Hou Ying suddenly woke up again. If it wasn’t for his hard fall just now, Li Xuanyuan would have suspected that this guy was taking advantage of him just now.
Hou Ying felt Li Xuanyuan hugging him. In a daze, and before he could react, Li Xuanyuan had found him awake and put him back on the ground. He felt great regret. But when Li Xuanyuan asked him in a panic about what was going on, he recovered his mind and recalled, “I just walked in and smelled a bad smell. It felt like poison. I was just about to remind you but then I fainted… Haven’t you smelled it Xuanyuan?”
Li Xuanyuan looked puzzled. Obviously, he didn’t feel the same.
Hou Ying pondered, “Is it because you’re a wood ability user so you have immunity?”
Whether it is or not, Li Xuanyuan dared not let him act together with him.
He took Hou Ying and the materials he had just collected back to the car and briefly told Wang Hehe about the situation just now so that he could pay attention to Hou Ying’s situation at any time. He returned to the flower and bird market by himself.
This accident made Wang Hehe nervous, but fortunately, Hou Ying didn’t feel any discomfort until they once again gathered to leave the flower and bird market. Before driving away, Hou Ying subconsciously looked back at the green street. Some thoughts seemed to flash through his mind, but his attention quickly turned to Wang Hehe, who was pricked by a palm-sized cactus.
What he didn’t know was that certain untouched truths were also left behind by them along with the flower and bird market. It wasn’t until a long time later that he learned that there is still a divine weapon to expel zombies in this world, that is—mutant mosquito repellent.
The team met before 9 p.m., and Hou Ying told everyone about their major discovery today—the existence of wood crystals.
Everyone was startled by the news of the plant mutation first, and then ecstatic about the wood crystal.
In any case, wood crystals are a great tonic for Li Xuanyuan. Especially after Li Xuanyuan showed the lethality of the keel and spider plant he conquered in the flower and bird market, they had a new understanding of the wood ability. Apart from being luxuriant, the creeper and the ivy made them see no other lethality. However, when the creeper and the ivy covered the entire second-floor lounge, and the cool and fragrant smell came to the surface, they realized that the keel and spider plant were nothing, the creeper and the ivy are really gorgeous!
They happily removed the rain cover, allowing the creeper and ivy around the steel frame to fill the entire lounge. The natural roof and walls envelop an independent space. The refreshing fragrance and coolness of vegetation made the people who became dry and sleepless after the hot weather redeemed!
“Great! We don’t even need the air conditioner now, haha! I can finally get a good night’s sleep!”
Ji Yao wanted to laugh with his arms on his hips. This is giving a pillow when he is dozing off. It’s so awesome!
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Gongsun Jing also laughed and said, “The creeper has the characteristics of reducing temperature and increasing oxygen. Although we still have to endure the high temperature when we go out, we finally don’t have to suffer when we go to sleep.”
The air conditioner is too dry and can’t ventilate. Their sleeping environment these days can be said to be terrible. If this continues, she is worried that Meng Hanghai and Wang Hehe, who have poor resistance, will get sick. Now they have finally solved a big problem. However, without the support of Li Xuanyuan’s ability, the creeper, and the ivy couldn’t maintain the status quo. It’s not only wasteful but also impractical to let Li Xuanyuan continuously output his ability to cool everyone down. Hou Ying’s eyes turned, he excitedly brought back the green dill which he planned to plant in water and asked Liu Zhan to fill the water tank. Li Xuanyuan used his wood ability to spawn it, and soon, the dill replaced the creeper and the ivy to wrap up the lounge.
They were about to revel, but Gongsun Jing, who knows something about indoor plants, worries, “Although dill has a good effect in purifying the air and cooling down, it consumes a lot of oxygen and will affect people’s sleep.”
Hou Ying then proposed to go to the flower and bird market and bring back a creeper and ivy to cultivate. Qiao Daye volunteered. His speed was very fast, and it took only ten minutes to go back and forth.
While everyone was enjoying the benefits of the natural oxygen bar in the lounge, Li Xuanyuan and Qiao Daye set off large fireworks on the roof of the car—this was found by another team at the grocery store today. Liu Zhan immediately thought of its utilization value and insisted on bringing back these heavy and flashy items. When the fireworks at night are in full bloom, lighting up the night sky, the splendid scenery makes people feel sad.
Gongsun Jing said with a smile, “Let’s go to bed early. The signal has been sent out. If there are any living people here, they’ll find a way to let us know of their existence.”
Yes, setting off fireworks at night is the signal Liu Zhan thought of sending to the survivors.
Unfortunately, before they left, Qiao Daye and Hou Ying did not receive any response.
That night, they slept comfortably in the natural green lounge. The next morning, Wang Hehe hugged Hou Ying’s waist and didn’t want to get up. He really didn’t want to leave the lounge to get out in the sun.
Of course, Hou Ying wouldn’t indulge him. He dragged him outside to do the training to adapt to the high temperature.
This day is their last day at the fifth stop. During the day, other people have high-temperature training, while Hou Ying takes Gongsun Jing to make an inventory of the materials collected recently. A form is specially set up to record the data, so as to record the income and expenditure in the future—he’s a businessman, so he always feels insecure if he doesn’t digitize these things.
After sunset, everyone drove away from the fifth stop and headed for the sixth stop in the original plan.
The reason why they chose to leave at night is that, during the daytime, the asphalt ground is like a hardened iron plate. No matter how thick the truck tires are, they will have to be scrapped for long-distance driving.
The team arrived at the sixth stop before noon the next day.
After docking, Li Xuanyuan, Qiao Daye, Jiang Tao, and Su Fenghe who took turns driving and defending, took a rest to make up for sleep. Ji Yao and Liu Zhan solved the zombies, who didn’t have awareness, followed and refused to disperse, and took over the defense work.
Hou Ying took out the route map drawn by Li Xuanyuan and pondered it carefully. At three o’clock in the afternoon, after the rest of the four woke up, Hou Ying did not let them rush out to clean up the zombies but called everyone for a meeting.
“Along the way, everyone must have discovered that the level of zombies outside is generally hovering at the first level. After the sudden high-temperature change, the number of level 2 zombies has increased a little, and the number of ability zombies has also increased. But for us now, they don’t have much threat and use-value.”
He showed them the tabular data he recorded.

【Crystal Nucleus Inventory Statistics】
Five Elements Transparent Nucleus: 2 Level 3, 176 Level 2, and 381 Level 1.
Five Sense Red Nucleus: 33 Level 2 and 243 Level 1.
Speed Orange Nucleus: 1 Level 3, 53 Level 2, and 386 Level 1.
Power Camel Nucleus: 42 Level 2 and 466 Level 1.
Wind Blue Nucleus: 6 Level 2 and 26 Level 1.
Psychic White Nucleus: 1 Level 1.
Hou Ying did not pull out the rest of the inventory details of crystal nuclei that did not match their attributes. After showing them the data, he said, “We now have two options. One is to station at the next two stops, Quanshi, a second-tier city with a population of more than 6 million, and then cultivate zombie nuclei to improve our abilities. Second is we go straight all the way, staying at each stop for no more than a day. We’ll first go to the base of the 24th Division to find out the situation, and then cultivate the crystal nuclei.”
His fingers moved along the route they had planned to take, bypassed it, and said, “If the second plan is implemented, we can finish the remaining ten stops in half a month.”
Looking at the expressions of Li Xuanyuan and Jiang Tao, they were obviously inclined to the second plan.
Qiao Daye said anxiously, “Brother Hou, we have enough supplies now. Why don’t we just go all the way? Why do we have to stop for so long?”
He also felt that it was too long. A lot of people could take turns driving, and they could reach it in less than a day. Although the loss of truck tires is great, as long as they stop for a while and let Li Xuanyuan and Jiang Tao repair the tires, the problem will not be too big.
Gongsun Jing said helplessly, “Did you forget that we have to search and rescue survivors along the way?”
Qiao Daye, “…”
He temporarily got impatient and indeed forgot about this matter.
Qiao Daye scratched his head embarrassedly. Seeing Jiang Tao and Liu Zhan give him a white eye, he laughed, “I accidentally forgot. Then I’ll listen to Brother Hou. Brother Tao, what do you think? I think the second plan is very good. If we can go back a day earlier, we can feel at ease earlier.”
Jiang Tao and the other’s thoughts were the same.
Su Fenghe opened his mouth, obviously, he had something to say, but he swallowed it back.
Hou Ying was carefully looking at them and noticed this, so he continued, “When we are repairing at the stop, we’ll use fireworks to signal the survivors. By the way, we can also use the nucleus as bait to hunt and kill some more zombies to stock up for the next cultivation of crystal nuclei. As you can see, the last time we fed zombies, we didn’t have many nuclei. Especially the five-element crystal nucleus. Although the five-element ability zombies are the most, we also consume the most. Currently, we don’t have enough crystal nuclei on hand. We can’t cultivate the level 3 nucleus that Yaoji and Lao Su’s abilities needed with the current level 2 crystal nucleus. After several of us were upgraded to level 3, the speed of improvement has obviously slowed down. We need more level 3 nuclei, but we can’t cultivate them in a month or two. So I personally prefer the second plan.”
He glanced at everyone and found that the dissatisfaction in Su Fenghe’s eyes had disappeared, so he said with a smile “If you have any ideas, please mention them. If you don’t have any, we will start to implement the second plan tonight.”
Everyone supported it.
So a weapon for expel the zombies have been found but not discovered by them ohh!!! Okay…. Thanks for the chapter ❤️❤️
Just as well. We don’t want them expelling HY.
HY is so good at managing the team. He deserve to be the default captain.
