Upon arriving in City A, or rather, Base A, the entire base was surrounded by iron fences, and a group of soldiers patrolled around the fences.

The soldiers led Pan Yang and Zhou Yang into the base. As soon as Shen's parents heard the news, they rushed to find Pan Yang.

Holding Fan Yang's hand, tears streamed down her face: "Thank goodness he's alright, thank goodness he's alright. How could Shen Yu, as the older brother, not be able to protect his younger brother?"

Mr. Shen patted Mrs. Shen on the back: "It's good that you're back. I've already arranged a room for you. You can move in right away."

Zhou Yang looked at the family, clicked his tongue, and prepared to go to the base laboratory.

Oh right, the experimental equipment is still here with Pan Yang.

"Cough cough!" Zhou Yang pretended to cough, trying to get the others' attention.

"You must be Dr. Zhou." Finally, Father Shen noticed Zhou Yang, who had been standing to the side. "It's an honor for you to come to our base for research. We will do our best to provide you with all the necessary medicines and equipment."

“I want Shen Panyang to be my assistant,” Zhou Yang said.

"This..." Father Shen hesitated. He cherished this child dearly, how could he bear to let him be an assistant? The laboratory must involve some dangerous drugs.

“Okay.” Pan Yang nodded at Zhou Yang, but he was more curious about where Chen Yu was.

"Isn't Shen Yu at the base?"

Father Shen sighed: "Your brother felt very guilty after losing you. He awakened his superpower a few days ago and has been going out to clear out zombies every day. He should be back soon."

Pan Yang found it amusing; he never expected Shen Yu to be such a good actor. He and Zhou Yang arrived at the laboratory and released all the equipment from the space.

Zhou Yang rubbed his hands together and looked Pan Yang up and down: "Actually, it's not a loss for me to study you. So how do you guys achieve your spatial abilities?"

"My ability isn't spatial," Pan Yang said truthfully. The original owner's ability wasn't spatial; it was just a regular fire ability.

Zhou Yang, with a "Do you believe me?" look on his face, waved his hand and said, "No fun. Could you put these equipment on that table over there for me?"

Looking at the equipment scattered across the table, Pan Yang decisively took a step back and covered his hand: "I think my hand suddenly cramped up."

Zhou Yang was speechless: "Don't you like me? You can't even help with this little thing?"

"Then do you like me?" Pan Yang asked without hesitation.

"..." Zhou Yang shrugged and picked up the messy equipment on the table: "Fine, I'll clean it up myself."

Without any hesitation, Pan Yang sat down on a chair with wheels, and started spinning around in place with a blank expression.

001 was speechless. Shouldn't you be trying to make Zhou Yang like you, host? Why are you playing with a chair?

Pan Yang suddenly stopped moving and saw Shen Yu through the glass window at the door.

Shen Yu walked to the laboratory door, opened it, and placed the bottle in her hand on the table: "It contains zombie blood; it should be useful for the experiment."

Then he saw Pan Yang sitting in the laboratory.

Zhou Yang didn't look up at him, but continued tidying up: "Okay, I understand."

"You, brother, you're still alive! That's wonderful!" He had just returned to the base and heard that Dr. Zhou Yang had arrived, so he rushed over immediately. He never expected that Pan Yang would also come to Base A.

Pan Yang leaned back in his chair, looking at him coldly: "For you, my being alive is probably not good news."

Shen Yu's expression froze instantly. With Zhou Yang present, he didn't dare to say anything to Huan Yang openly, but just shook his head helplessly: "I know you still blame your brother. It was your brother's fault for not protecting you properly back then."

Pan Yang had no patience for playing the brotherhood card with him, and rolled his eyes: "I'll forgive you if you let a zombie bite you."

What's the point of just talking? If you're so capable, then actually do it.

"Shen Panyang, sigh." Shen Yu's face was filled with anger, then he sighed and said earnestly, "This is the apocalypse, you can't just throw tantrums now."

He said this and turned to leave.

"Is that your brother?" After Shen Yu had walked away, Zhou Yang looked at Pan Yang and asked, "Why does he look more like an enemy?"

Pan Yang shrugged. "He's my enemy, isn't he? He wants to kill me."

Looking at his casual remark, Zhou Yang muttered under his breath, "What a madman."

In the following days, Pan Yang did not have any direct conflict with Shen Yu. As for Zhou Yang, he was immersed in experiments all day long and could not extricate himself, even though the experiments failed every time.

Looking at the zombie lying on the table, bound hand and foot, Pan Yang sighed. He really doubted whether the hidden figures could research any serum.

Zhou Yang used tools to open the zombie's skull, revealing an orange crystal in the zombie's brain.

"Another evolved zombie." Zhou Yang pinched out a crystal and shone it in the light. Currently, the zombies seem to be leveling up like crazy, with almost every one of them having a crystal in its mind. The darker the color, the more powerful it is.

Those with superpowers can absorb crystals to enhance their abilities, and these crystals have replaced paper money as the new currency.

However, Pan Yang refused to absorb it. That thing was taken from the brain of a zombie, and besides, he didn't need any special abilities at all.

Zhou Yang held the crystal and put it into a pile of blue liquid, which then began to boil.

"I'm sure I can do it this time!" Zhou Yang said as he fiddled with the bottles and jars.

"Oh, good luck." Pan Yang said casually and sat back down in his chair. This was the fourth time in the past few days that he had heard "you can do it."

"What do you mean! Why are you confiscating our crystals!" A commotion erupted outside.

That voice sounds so familiar.

Pan Yang stood up and looked out the window. He saw Shang Nan and Shang Bei standing together, each holding a piece of cloth, which clearly contained something.

The people confronting them were Shen Yu's subordinates. It should be noted that besides Zhou Yang, there were other scientists at the base, but the rest were all under Shen Yu's command.

Shen Yu has also been collecting these crystals recently, undoubtedly under the guise of making a zombie antidote for his own path to immortality.

"This is something my brother and I worked our butts to get! How can you just take it away like that!" Shang Nan clutched the bag tightly, hiding behind Shang Bei.

"The government collected them, not to take them all for the sake of all humanity." The person opposite him was bald and was clearly getting impatient.

"But we already submitted one when we came back!" Shang Bei clearly didn't understand them, protecting Shang Nan and looking warily at the bald man.

"You'll pay one copy anyway, so what's the big deal about paying one more?"

Suddenly, a white sword fell from the sky and plunged directly into the ground, causing several cracks to appear.

The bald man, seeing that Bai Jian was just centimeters away from splitting his head open, flew into a rage: "You're asking for death! Do you know who I am?!"
