Dongfang Bai’s ability level is the lowest in the team. Since they left Quanshi, except for Li Xuanyuan and the others who need to replenish energy, the five-element crystal nuclei are absorbed by Dongfang Bai. But even then, as they moved along, he still stopped at level 2 mid-level.
Because there are not many natural level 2 crystal nuclei, Dongfang Bai’s ability improvement is slower than that of the others in the team. For the overall combat strength of the team, Dongfang Bai is a metal ability user with strong attack power, so everyone has no opinion on Hou Ying’s distribution. Dongfang Bai is a typical liberal arts student. The inventorial list made by Hou Ying looked like astronomy to him. At first, he asked Hou Ying with great interest what he was doing, but after Hou Ying explained the calculation method of material inventory early warning line to him, he silently turned his gaze and placed it on the cartoon that Wang Hehe and the others watched with gusto.
Everyone had a good night’s sleep that night. The next morning, at 5 a.m, the team packed up and set off for Sencheng.
Sencheng, as its name implies, has many trees and high vegetation coverage. The city is located at the junction of hilly terrain and plain terrain, with a large area of forest.
The next evening, they arrived at their destination.
This time, they chose to keep zombies in captivity in a driving school on the outskirts of Sencheng, where there was a large area for students to drive cars. Its scale isn’t small, and the location from the city center and marginal towns are also appropriate. After a night’s rest, they began to work diligently. They enclosed 300 zombies with corresponding abilities, and then repeated the feeding and pruning work.
Hou Ying made a plan for a team of 11 people. Someone as strong as Li Xuanyuan, naturally, won’t let him waste it by taking care of the zombies in the enclosure. Instead, he will go to the city to collect materials and hunt for zombies with different attributes. Hou Ying, Ji Yao, Jiang Tao, and Su Fenghe will go with him.
The remaining six people, in groups of three, will take turns looking after the caged zombies.
Qiao Daye, Dongfang Bai, and Meng Hanghai are in a group. Dongfang Bai is a novice and doesn’t count the crystal nucleus he’s feeding to the zombies. It wasn’t until Qiao Daye saw that he had fed too many and stopped him, “Male god, take your time. Be careful, you may raise a level 5 zombie, then we’ll have no choice but to destroy it!”
Meng Hanghai snickered. He couldn’t stand seeing Dongfang Bai’s anxious look, so he took the initiative to teach him the correct posture of feeding zombies. He said, “Big Brother Bai, you can’t feed too much at once. Just like how Uncle Su raises chickens, it won’t be delicious if you feed too much.”
Li Xuanyuan and Qiao Daye didn’t find wood crystals when they went up the mountain last time. Instead, they caught some mutated pheasants and rabbits alive.
Su Fenghe’s skill in taking care of them is superb. Just yesterday, the pheasant laid eggs and hatched the chicks. Because of the expansion of the scale, they deliberately set aside a place for him to raise chickens, rabbits, and grow vegetables in their temporary residence. As a result, the quality of the food in the team is excellent, their days have been pretty good during this time.

The large generator obtained from the construction site finally played its role. Gongsun Jing tried her best to arrange everything. Although they still live in the lounge of one car at night, their temporary residence really looks like a home.
This batch of zombies has been raised for three months, and finally, they have raised zombies with level 4 five-element ability!
There was a great difference between level 4 and level 3, they can already feel it on this five-element zombie before they even upgraded themselves. Just like the level 4 baby zombie they first met, this zombie also has the ability to call on zombies with the same attributes as them. If Hou Ying hadn’t separated the other five-element zombies in advance for fear of a zombie riot caused by the level 4 crystal nucleus, they would have suffered a heavy loss this time.
This is a level 4 fire zombie. Its raging fire burned everything around it into ashes. Its flames weren’t all blazing red, but there was a blue flame at the outermost part of the flaring circle of fire. As we all know, the higher the flame temperature is, the color will appear blue. If it isn’t for water and fire not being compatible with each other, and there are two level 3 high-level water-type ability users in their team, they will be burned into coke by this level 4 fire-type zombie before they even get close to it!
Li Xuanyuan cooperated with Dongfang Bai, who spread his wings and flew high in the air. When Liu Zhan and Gongsun Jing successfully dragged the level 4 zombie, they attacked the zombie with all their strength.
“What the fuck! The metal melted!”
Dongfang Bai gawked.
The speed of the metal was extremely fast, but when it passed through the blue flame circle outside the zombie, it melted, and its lethality was greatly reduced. As a fire-type ability user, Jiang Tao can only coordinate with a gun at the periphery. Ji Yao’s wind ability can only contribute to the fire’s offensive power, so he can only deal with the five-element ability zombies that broke free from the outside.
There was a crackling sound, but Li Xuanyuan’s vines were also scorched by the blue flame and were constantly smoking.
Everyone was amazed by this blue flame. Although they’re still wary in their hearts, they were not afraid. Jiang Tao is even more excited. He’s a fire-type ability user. How can he not be excited when he thinks that he’ll have this ability after reaching level 4? He’s also eager to try. Taking aim for an opportunity, he shot a bullet at the zombie. The zombie raised its hand, as if in slo-mo, but in an instant, it pinched the bullet in its hand. The zombie’s hand was wrapped in blue flames and burned the bullet in an instant. Not long after, it turned into steam.
“So awesome!”
Jiang Tao kept looking for any chances to shoot. The zombie got irritated several times and wanted to blast him, but after several experiments, they found that although the flames of the level 4 zombie are powerful, the distance was shorter than that of level 3 zombie. The attack range is limited to a radius of about 80 meters!
This discovery gave Li Xuanyuan and Dongfang Bai, who occupy a long-distance attack range advantage, more confidence. The former said, “Yaoji! Help speed up Dongfang’s metal! Hou Ying, pay attention to Ah-Zhan and Gongsun. Supplement them any time!”
He commanded his vines, gave everyone a gesture, and hit the zombie with all his strength!
Facts have proved that although level 3 high-level ability users can’t compare with level 4 zombies, with the close cooperation of several level 3 high-level ability users, the fourth-level zombie fighting alone can’t stop them.
Level 4 crystal nucleus, successfully dug out from the zombie’s brain!
Ho ho ho!
Even for a moment, several five-element zombies who have been under the call of the level 4 zombie suddenly rushed out!
Qiao Daye put the level 4 crystal core into the iron box with the fastest speed. Holding the iron box, as if holding a trophy, he shouted, “Brothers! We won!!”
Everyone laughed.
In order to upgrade during captivity, they harvested level 3 crystal nuclei several times, but only collected 50%. They continued to capture more zombies and kept them in the pen. Before the level 4 zombie appeared, the team’s abilities reached level 3 high-level except for Wang Hehe and Meng Hanghai.
It is worth mentioning that they also found a psychic zombie in Sencheng. However, they still haven’t discovered the crystal nucleus that matches the attributes of Meng Hanghai.
The freshly baked level 4 zombie caused a large five-element zombie riot. Before they could enjoy the freshness, they were surrounded by the five-element zombies they raised and almost destroyed their temporary residence. In desperation, they had to put away the crystal nucleus and clean up these zombies first. When Hou Ying absorbed the nucleus, Li Xuanyuan and the others went out to defend. The first level 4 crystal nucleus took him a full hour to consume, during which it attracted many more zombies.
Qiao Daye was quite happy, “It’s really sweet for them to throw themselves into the trap when I’m still worried about adding a treasure to our family.”
The five-element zombies that had been kept in captivity for so long were slaughtered. After today, they have to catch the zombies again and continue to keep them in the enclosure. Unexpectedly, this troublesome matter is saved now.
The three-finger-sized level 4 crystal nucleus was completely absorbed, and the five-element zombies rioting outside were trapped by Li Xuanyuan. Everyone stared at Hou Ying and excitedly asked him how he felt. Hou Ying couldn’t laugh or cry. He pretended to be serious and said seriously, “Well, I feel good, I have ascended to heaven.”
“Haha, Brother Hou has become a great saint!”
Qiao Daye joined in the excitement and was patted by Gongsun Jing on his forehead. Then she pushed Li Xuanyuan to Hou Ying and urged him, “Hurry up and give Xuanyuan a try.”
Hou Ying was taken aback. Whether it’s for public or private interest, of course, he wanted to give Li Xuanyuan the first chance to upgrade to level 4, but after all, Li Xuanyuan’s not the only one with a level 3 high-level five-element ability in the team. He’s still brewing his rhetoric to persuade everyone. Unexpectedly, they have already acquiesced in the fact that Li Xuanyuan will come first and handed the opportunity to him without hesitation. Even Dongfang Bai didn’t think there was anything wrong.
Hou Ying secretly thought that he’s a wicked character.
Li Xuanyuan’s ability level has always been far ahead in the team. Although it has been tied by them now, Li Xuanyuan’s status as the main fighting force in the team is already unshakable. It seems that he should be stronger than them. This is not only a habit, but Li Xuanyuan’s strength is strong enough to reassure them. This is one of their sources of confidence in survival in the apocalypse.
Hou Ying held Li Xuanyuan’s palm and felt that his palm was warmer than usual. Knowing that he’s not as calm as he seemed, he smiled and said, “Come on, it may take longer. Everyone should go to work on their own.”
Hearing his words, everyone calmed their excitement a little. Except for Liu Zhan and Jiang Tao, who were in charge of guarding, everyone else couldn’t help looking at the zombies with the same ability attributes as them. Like fools, they asked them to cheer up and blossom and bear fruit quickly. Wang Hehe touched Meng Hanghai who has a longing look and comforted him, “Don’t worry, we can meet all psychic zombies. We will surely meet the zombies that suit you in the future.”
Meng Hanghai nodded earnestly.
The few people nearby who heard him laughed loudly. How could his tone seem to be looking for an object? Meng Hanghai’s serious little face is also more interesting. This kid has learned badly with Brother Hou. Usually, their captain’s expression can be seen on his tender face, so adorable.
Five hours later, Li Xuanyuan absorbed this level 4 five-element transparent crystal and successfully ascended to level 4 low-level wood ability!
Thanks for the chapter 🤣❤️
Wooo power is growing!!!!! Xuanyuan is now level 4 >X<
Oops sorry replied instead of comment 😬
Okay 🤣
This is the first novel I’ve seen where they raise zombies like chickens 😂 Such a smart idea! I also love how everyone is like “gogo hold hands~” to Hou Ying and Xuanyuan ehehehe
Thank you for the chapter!!
They’re just so rational 😂😂 Also MC is being a businessman in this when he said to raise zombies😂😂 All those cost-effecient ratio he must’ve formulated in his mind.
I mean just think about it for a minute. Others have to waste all their efforts and resources to hunt zombies when they can just artificially cultivate nuclei 😅😂
Thank you for the chapter!
Thanks for the chapter ❤️❤️
All the team members tacitly selling Xuanyuan to Hou Ying~
Lol 😆🤣
So they held hands for five hours? Lol 😆 how cute
