The powerful inertia caused Bai Xizhu and Leng Yebai's heads to slam heavily onto the seats in front of them.

Bai Xizhu calmly raised her head, brushed her bangs aside, opened the door and got out of the car.

Brother, you can't expect too much from a driver, just stay alive.

Compared to her father, she is already very lucky.

Leng Yebai looked at the rearview mirror with his cold eyes, moved his neck slightly, and like Bai Xizhu, touched his hair with his fingers before opening the door and getting out of the car.

Bai Xizhu stood beside the car, half-squatting on the ground, her fair fingers pressing against the cement floor, and slowly closed her eyes.

An invisible force of control penetrated the surface, probing everything beneath.

Bai Xizhu could sense that between those soils, there were channels as thick as bowls, winding their way to all directions.

Just like before, oval-shaped ant eggs were scattered everywhere.

The queen ant is clever; she knows that eggs shouldn't be put in one basket.

Bai Xizhu's eyes darkened slightly as she looked towards the supermarket.

This place is at least a kilometer away from the supermarket.

"Let's go, keep driving forward!" Bai Xizhu said in a deep voice.

The car roared again and sped away into the distance.

Like a wild beast that has broken free.

"Bang! Bang!"

Drawn by the roar, the zombies clung to the car, then, like Old Man Bai, they were thrown into the air in a graceful parabola before crashing heavily to the ground.

Bai Yifan gripped the steering wheel as if he commanded a vast army.

Every so often, the car would make a loud screeching sound as it rubbed against the ground.

Bai Xizhu placed her fingers on the cement road surface one after another, using her control to sense the situation below.

One kilometer, two kilometers, three kilometers...

Bai Yifan was driving his car when the front bumper was so badly damaged by the zombies that it was deformed.

Two hours were wasted as Bai Yifan drove fast, circling around the entire city of D.

At regular intervals, Bai Xizhu carefully sensed the situation underground.

They even went to the suburbs and zoo, which are located in remote areas of the Fire Phoenix Security Base.

The city's underground is riddled with ant nests, and at the same point in each nest, there are several ant eggs the size of glass marbles.

Once the time comes, the ant eggs will have hatched.

It was a disaster for the city.

Bai Xizhu felt a chill run through her body. It was impractical for her to use her self-control to crush the ant eggs inch by inch over every part of the egg.

Moreover, the location of the queen ant is still unclear.

As long as the queen ant lives, everything is in vain.

Why are ant eggs now covering the ground in less than a year after the apocalypse, when there were no mutated ants in D City in the previous life?

Ant eggs typically hatch in about thirty days, with a maximum of seventy days.

This means that there is less than a month left before the entire city is attacked by mutated ants.

"Sis, what's wrong?"

Bai Yifan tilted his head and looked at Bai Xizhu. His intuition told him that his older sister, who was silently touching the ground on the road, was acting strangely.

"I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?" Bai Xizhu asked Bai Yifan.

“Good news,” Bai Yifan replied instantly.

So many bad things have happened to him...

I drank fake baby formula and got yelled at by my parents, older sister, grandparents, teachers, classmates... I even bumped into my dad and almost got beaten to death...

Everything is still vivid in my mind.

He just wants to hear good news.

“You are very likely to be even more amazing than you are now!” Bai Xizhu said calmly.

"Really? Why? You can become stronger without wasting time absorbing crystal cores?" Bai Yifan was a little excited.

For him, absorbing crystal nuclei was just like doing homework.

It was utterly tasteless.

“Yes, living a life of leisure might actually make you more powerful.” Bai Xizhu nodded with certainty.

"What kind of shortcut is this? I've never heard you mention it before." Bai Yifan's eyes lit up even more.

"This shortcut is the bad news." Bai Xizhu looked at the ground with a sinister chill in her voice. "The mutated ant colony is infected with a virus. If you get bitten by them, you might turn into a zombie king even more powerful than Tangtang."

Bai Yifan silently took a step back and asked timidly, "Is it really that exaggerated?"

“It’s no exaggeration. Right now, what we’re standing on is a dense network of anthill tunnels. Once they hatch, you might become even more powerful.” Bai Xizhu glanced calmly at Bai Yifan. “At the very least, you’ll become incredibly resilient.”

"What if I turn into a squealing little cutie? Wouldn't that be the end of me?" Bai Yifan shuddered.

If the number of mutated ant colonies were as large as that of mutated rat colonies, it would be terrifying.

Every inch of land is unsafe.

"That depends on your luck," Bai Xizhu said with a serious expression. "Or, why don't you practice how to howl first?"

To avoid making a bad impression later!

Bai Yifan: ...

"Sis, I think we should think of a way to destroy these mutated ant eggs."

Bai Yifan clenched his fist, which was wreathed in a pale yellow light.

He couldn't control the metal as a weapon yet, so he could only cowardly put a protective layer on himself, which was better than nothing.

If he can hold on a little longer, he might even get to see his family screaming in pain!

At that time, he will take a unique family photo for everyone.

“Destroying ant eggs is not so easy. We must find the queen ant. There is no sign of the queen ant under the entire city, not even soldier ants or worker ants.”
