Fang Xiyue could tell from Xiao Zihan's slightly flushed face that he was overthinking things.

"I left you a bucket of water. Go wash up quickly, it'll get cold soon."

Fang Xiyue pretended not to realize that Xiao Zihan was overthinking things and directly told him that she had left him water.

"Ah, ah, I'll go right away."

Xiao Zihan's face flushed bright red. He had been overthinking things; how embarrassing!

After taking a shower, Xiao Zihan crawled into bed and hugged Fang Xiyue. Although he didn't intend to do anything to Fang Xiyue, he could still have some fun with her.

Fang Xiyue already knew that all seven of her husbands liked her pair of big white rabbits, but being rubbed like that was quite uncomfortable.

"Stop fooling around, go to sleep."

Fang Xiyue tried to remove Xiao Zihan's hand, but Xiao Zihan wouldn't let go no matter what. "Fine, I won't move."

Xiao Zihan decided to endure it for the sake of the benefits, since he liked having his hand on it anyway.

Fang Xiyue didn't say anything more, as long as it didn't affect her sleep.

"Click!"

At midnight, a sudden downpour began, accompanied by thunder and lightning. A bolt of lightning struck a nearby tree.

The tree was split in two, a truly pitiful sight.

The noise woke everyone in the Licheng team, and they quickly got up to check.

The rain was particularly heavy, and water started to accumulate on the ground, threatening to form rivers.

"If this rain doesn't stop tomorrow during the day, we won't be able to go kill zombies."

Xiao Zihan was slightly worried. After the apocalypse, everyone tacitly believed that rainwater carried the virus, so they would try not to go out whenever it rained.

"It's okay, we have enough time anyway. It's just that a lot of supplies might get soaked after this rain."

We've been surviving these past few days on the supplies we found and the vegetables we've forced to grow.

Eating poorly can be a huge test for the body. If you don't eat well, you won't get enough energy, and your superpowers will recover much more slowly.

"There's no use worrying now; things will work themselves out when we reach the bridge."

Fang Xiyue pulled Xiao Zihan back to sleep, as sleeping could replenish energy and stamina.

If it rains, I can get up a little later tomorrow morning.

...

The two of them had barely lain down for two minutes when Zhao Liang came over and knocked on the door.

"Get up! There's a snake!"

Zhao Liang knocked not only on their door, but also on other people's doors.

He had originally planned to go back to sleep, but because he felt vaguely uneasy, he decided to release his mental energy to observe for a while.

Then he noticed something moving in the water outside, and then he saw a snake climbing up the newly built wall around the hotel.

They were so densely packed, it was truly terrifying.

The members of the Licheng team quickly got up and went to the window to look, and sure enough, it was true.

There were so many snakes, and they were venomous snakes of all kinds. They had started to come in.

Because of the wall, some snakes fell down while crawling, but some managed to get inside.

If it weren't for the wall, these snakes would probably have already entered the hotel.

They quickly went to the window to kill the snakes, making sure they didn't get them inside the hotel.

Each person guarded a different direction of the hotel and used their superpowers to kill the venomous snakes. One by one, the snakes were killed and fell into the water.

The water was dyed red. They dared not eat the snake, otherwise they would be considered as offering themselves up as meat.

Perhaps because the Licheng team was too ruthless, the venomous snakes stopped rushing this way and turned around.

Their situation is not bad, but things are terrible in Shuicheng.

The place they chose to live in already had broken windows, and with no walls to block them, many venomous snakes crawled in.

Several people were bitten by venomous snakes, but fortunately, a healing-type ability user was there to save their lives.

However, I am still a bit weak, so I can't go out to kill zombies. I can only wait until I recover a bit before I can go kill zombies again.

In short, they have no intention of withdrawing from the competition, and resting for a day or two should be fine.

Those watching the live stream saw what was happening on their end. These people are very concerned about the game and stayed up all night to watch it.

I was scared just looking at those snakes on the screen, let alone seeing them in person.

——

October 21st, the 130th day of the apocalypse, the 3rd day of the team competition.

The rain was still falling, and Fang Xiyue was worried that the rain would cause the zombies to evolve.

This apocalypse has only been going on for a little over four months. If the zombies have already evolved to level 3, it means that the zombies are evolving every month.

Reaching level 10 in less than a year is incredibly fast. Hopefully, she's overthinking it.

"With this much rain, we can't go out to kill zombies and collect supplies today. After everyone has eaten, let them stay in their rooms and rest."

When the entire Licheng team gathered for breakfast, Fang Xiyue asked Jun Nanxuan to tell everyone so they wouldn't rush out to kill zombies.

"It's raining today, so we're taking a break," Jun Nanxuan said, looking up.

Fang Xiyue glanced at Jun Nanxuan. His words conveyed the same meaning as her own, but why were they so brief? Yet so easy to understand.

It seems I've been a bit too verbose in my daily speech; this is much better—concise and clear.

"If we don't go out to kill zombies today, will we have enough?" Dandan couldn't help but worry.

“Yes, we’ve finally made it to day 3. It would be such a waste if we didn’t kill enough zombies,” Zuo Yu echoed Dan Dan’s words.

"Don't worry, as long as you each complete the task of 500, I'll take care of the rest tomorrow or the day after."

Fang Xiyue always speaks very softly to girls. She doesn't say these things to show off how strong her superpowers are, but to put them at ease.

"Yes, with Sister Yue here, we're not worried."

Dandan and Zuoyu both laughed, and no one else felt that the rain had much of an impact.

They all went back to their rooms to rest after dinner, but the situation was different in Shuicheng.

So far in the competition, they have only killed 8,000 zombies, a huge difference in numbers.

Moreover, they hadn't found many supplies before, and if they rested today, they would go hungry after breakfast.

"Why don't we go outside and use our wind-based abilities to blow away the rain and create a rainless environment?"

"Let's go find supplies in those residential buildings. As long as they don't get wet, they should be fine."

A team member from the water city suggested that they all wanted to win and didn't want to be trapped here and lose all their previous efforts because of a rainstorm. It would be a pity to give up until the very last second.

During the group stage, didn't the Licheng team use wind-based abilities to block the heavy rain? And it seems like nothing happened.

"None of us are sure if the rain outside carries the zombie virus, so let's not take the risk."

If we don't complete the mission by the last day, then we'll try again next time.

Even losing is better than being surrounded by zombies in a mutated city. Besides, we might not even lose; maybe the rain won't last all day.
