[Host, please complete the following tasks within nine years to successfully advance to the next level.]

【Task 1: Complete the zombie elimination.】

【Task 2: Everyone has a home.】

【Task 3: Enter the era of scientific research.】

[The mission and distribution have begun. Please cheer up, host! The system is with you.]

Xu Bai was stunned and asked: Does zero zombies mean that all zombies will be killed, or does it also count as zero if they regain their human thinking and stop killing humans?

【System: All are acceptable.】

"Why are you issuing this task only now? It's never been issued before?"

Xu Bai thought about it and realized that except for a small number of tasks issued by the system in the early days of the apocalypse, it had never assigned any other tasks.

This time, it happened suddenly.

Moreover, they suddenly told me how to advance to the next level.

A little surprise.

It's like a person who has been lost in a maze suddenly finds the direction to move forward.

Her original plan was to comprehensively improve everyone's living standards, and this idea corresponded to Task 2.

As for the era of scientific research, what are the standards for entering the era of scientific research?

Xu Bai was in deep thought, thinking about the interstellar plane.

There are survival orders in Dawn City that are sent to the interstellar plane. She has some understanding of the interstellar plane, mechas and spaceships... which are exactly what they don't have now, so as long as they start to develop things that are more high-tech than they have in the past, it should be considered that they have entered the era of scientific research.

"What's wrong? Are we still going?"

Seeing that Xu Bai had no response and looked dazed, Ji Heng looked at her with some worry.

"go."

"I have to go."

"I'll tell you the reason later when I have free time."

In the end times, people's hearts are difficult to predict, and Xu Bai doesn't know much about the group of people brought by Tong Yangnian.

If I tell Ji Heng about the system now, there's no guarantee that some evil-minded people might have some bad intentions. It would be better to wait and talk to Ji Heng later.

Originally, Xu Bai did not intend to tell Ji Heng about the system, but these three tasks could not be completed by her alone, and required everyone to work together.

Tong Yangnian and others didn't know what Xu Bai was going to do. When they arrived, they received instructions to follow Xu Bai's arrangements.

Following Xu Bai, we drove to a dilapidated factory.

The factory gate was covered in coagulated blood, with corpses lying at the gate and a foul smell in the air.

"Let's go, get out of the car."

Xu Bai got out of the car and walked cautiously towards the factory with Ji Heng. The gate was locked. They walked around it and saw a small open door in the corner.

"I'll go in first." Ji Heng stopped Xu Bai from going ahead and walked in front of Xu Bai.

"I first, you know I..."

"No, what if you get hurt?"

Perhaps relying on the fact that he wouldn't be discovered by zombies, Xu Bai always likes to be ahead in everything. However, not being discovered is one thing, but whether he would be hurt by something else is another.

He didn't want Xu Bai to encounter any danger that was even slightly possible.

Before Ji Heng entered the small door, when he was about to approach the door, he saw a black shadow flash by.

"Everyone..." Before Ji Heng finished his words, he saw a black shadow rushing towards him. He just turned sideways, drew his axe, and reminded everyone to "be careful," when he heard someone scream.

It looked like someone had been blinded and was rolling on the ground.

There was also a small scratch on Xu Bai's cheek.

"Be careful, I can't see clearly what it is, it's going too fast." Ji Heng looked at Xu Bai's injured cheek with heartache, while leaning against Xu Bai.

"Yes, I can't see clearly either, and it's difficult to sense the other party." There was only a gray dot moving rapidly in Xu Bai's sea of ​​consciousness. He felt a little dizzy when he looked closely.

Xu Bai gave up checking for any traces in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The black shadows attacked them quickly, interfering with their group. The psychics used their own powers to surround themselves to prevent themselves from being hurt again.

When the black shadow touched the fire-type mutant, he was burned and screamed, and his speed slowed down.

Only then could everyone see clearly what the black shadow was.

"A mutated monkey."

This mutated monkey has a thin body, long limbs, and its entire body is more bent than a normal monkey, more like a gibbon.

Its claws were covered in blood, and one of them was still playing with the eyeball it had just poked out.

The mutant monkey was very arrogant. It stood and squatted on the wall, looking down at them. When it saw them looking at it, it threw the eyeballs it was playing with into its mouth and chewed them.

"vomit……"

The scene was a bit bloody, and some people started to retch, especially when they thought that what the other party was eating was a part of their teammate's body, they couldn't help feeling nauseous.

A large crowd easily attracts zombies, and they saw zombies coming towards them from the small door.

There are mutant monkeys in front and zombies behind.

Ji Heng took the crossbow given to him by Xu Bai and fired it towards the mutant monkeys and zombies. Xu Bai and others followed suit.

A large number of arrows were fired forward.

The mutant monkey jumped to avoid the arrows, but because there were too many of them, it was still shot in the legs and feet by the arrows. Its speed became slower than before, but at the same time it was also enraged.

Many people were injured by the mutant monkeys.

Ji Heng was very close to the injured person next to him. He grabbed the injured leg of the mutant monkey and looked at it with an axe. The mutant monkey was not a pushover either. It turned around and grabbed Ji Heng's hand.

Ji Heng endured the pain, held it tightly, and chopped it into several pieces.

A large amount of blood instantly flowed onto the ground.

Xu Bai turned around and killed the zombie, then saw Ji Heng's injured left hand. His face turned pale, and he used his psychic powers to strangle all the remaining zombies.

He opened the medical kit and quickly disinfected and bandaged Ji Heng.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

"Let me put some medicine on your face."

Xu Bai glared, "Don't move."

"Other people, please help bandage the injured members."

"Is there a vaccine? He was scratched by a zombie."

The two sentences rang out at the same time, and Xu Bai immediately took out a box from the space and threw it in the direction of Tong Yangnian, "Catch it."

As soon as Tong Yangnian took it, he saw vaccines neatly arranged in rows. Without looking closely, he picked up a handful and injected it into the injured person.

There were only two people with healing abilities, and they were busy treating the injured, but to be on the safe side, everyone vaccinated the injured.

"You, get a shot too."

It is impossible to tell from the mutant monkey's corpse whether it has eaten zombies or not. The blood is red, unlike other mutant animals that have eaten zombies and have black blood inside.

To be on the safe side, Xu Bai still vaccinated Ji Heng.

"Do you need it?" Ji Heng lowered his voice, looking at Xu Bai's cheek with the hemostatic patch, feeling heartbroken.
