"It seems there are quite a few zombies around the world! Even though everyone's abilities have improved, we still need to be careful when we go out," the Duke cautioned.

"Captain, we'll be careful. No wonder my parents suddenly had a high fever the day before yesterday, so that's why!"

"Luckily, I got my parents to start exercising early, otherwise they would have awakened their water and soil abilities. It was really dangerous!" Su Ye said, dumbfounded.

"Holy crap, my parents also got a fever, and later they awakened fire and metal superpowers too," Ye Yuan said thankfully.

"My parents have also awakened their fire and wood abilities. I'm so grateful to the captain for letting us train them in advance, otherwise they would have been in grave danger," Dongfang Ao said happily and gratefully.

"My parents awakened earth and metal superpowers, which are similar to mine."

"But my grandfather didn't awaken anything. But it's okay, it's much better than turning into a zombie, isn't it?" Di Zhantian said happily.

"Our elders are so lucky. The captain reminded them to exercise in advance, otherwise they wouldn't have awakened their superpowers." Su Ye said, grinning from ear to ear.

"It's great that your uncle and aunt are alright. Now they have time to practice their abilities in the training room."

"Let's all go! Let's kill zombies and earn crystal cores!" Lord Jun said confidently, leading the way out of the hall.

The current team members all possess level four superpowers and can use whatever weapons they want. They also have unlimited energy bullets; I wonder how effective they are. I'll go out and test their power later.

"Yes, Captain!"

A group of people followed closely behind, and a smile appeared on each of their faces as they looked at the team in their uniforms.

As soon as the ruler stepped out of the six gates, the system's voice rang out.

[Beep—A global viral outbreak has been detected. The Salvation System mission has been activated.]

[Rescuing twenty bases in the capital city will reward the host with a Super Electronic Butler and a top-tier Energy Defense System.]

[Accept the mission?]

He figured he shouldn't refuse something given away for free, even though he didn't know what a super electronic butler or a complete defense system was.

But how could the rewards from the system be bad?

"accept!"

[Mission initiated: Rescue twenty bases in the capital within two months. Mission expires after this period!]

[Note: This task has hidden conditions; triggering them will earn you even more points!]

Upon hearing a series of electronic sounds, Junjue saw the two-month countdown on the panel and became excited.

Rescue twenty bases within two months, and there's a hidden mission?

It's so easy!

Never mind all that, just keep going even if it's difficult.

Anyway, there's no penalty for it expiring and becoming invalid.

After calming down, the Duke stepped out of the fortress gate and saw the Five Black Daylilies lying there dozing off.

In their arms were the little black and little white creatures that had grown considerably larger.

When the two big dogs saw their male owner approaching, they immediately wagged their tails.

Its large tail swept the dust up everywhere.

"Awoo~"

"Woof woof~"

When the five black daylily buds saw the male owner bring out all his teammates, they knew they were about to start another fight.

They excitedly stood up, stepping on their huge claws as they moved toward their owner, trying not to make too much noise.

"Five Blacks, Daylily, are you two bored lying around all day and want to fight too?" Su Ye smiled as he saw the two enormous creatures approaching.

"Awooo~"

"Woof woof~"

The two dogs responded with a human-like nod.

"They can actually understand? Mutant animals are really smart, have they awakened their intelligence?" Di Zhantian said in amazement, looking at the two giant dogs.

“Of course, otherwise why would he nod?” Dongfang Ao echoed.

Yue Ying ran over and touched the pandas, who had grown quite a bit, and said with a smile, "Wu Hei, Huang Hua Cai, Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai, I missed you all."

"We can go out and fight again today!"

"Meow~"

"Waaah~"

The two national treasures seemed to enjoy being touched, responded with a sound, and immediately lay on their backs, letting the other touch their hard bellies.

Junjue walked to the national treasure's side and looked at the size of Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai. They had grown from over 100 pounds to 300 or 400 pounds, and their fur had become harder and harder, like iron, and their defenses had also improved a lot.

He stroked Xiao Hei's thick, rough fur and said softly, "You two are growing so fast, you're almost twice the size."

"Baa~" When they saw their male owner coming over, the little black and white cats quickly stood up and tried to rub against their male owner's feet, looking adorably innocent.

"Captain, your battle pet has grown so fast! It's only been a few days! It must weigh at least 400 pounds by now!" Yue Chi said excitedly, stroking Xiaobai's stiff fur.

Seeing the two little ones looking so content, the Duke smiled and replied:

"Yes! They will be even bigger than the five black daylilies in the future, so it's normal for them to grow faster."

Everyone, get on the backs of the five black daylily buds! We're going to provide support to the various bases.

There are more zombies over there, which is a good opportunity for our team to kill them.

"It's the captain!" When the group saw Wu Hei Huanghuacai lying on the ground, they quickly climbed up and sat down.

“Support base? I like that!” Su Ye sat on the back of the daylily, holding Yue Ying’s hand and letting her lean on his shoulder.

Yuechi, not wanting to be a third wheel, went to Wuhei's back and chatted with a group of people.

After everyone was seated, the Duke said to the two dogs:

"Five black vegetables, daylily, we can go now."

Go to a base that's closer to here.

"Aww~"

"Woof~"

Upon receiving their owner's command, the two dogs quickly stood up and ran down the mountain towards the nearest base.

A group of radiant people rode on the backs of two giant animals, feeling the wind rushing past their ears and watching the increasingly unbearable heat, their faces filled with relief.

"Luckily, the team uniforms our captain gave us were made of nano-thermal constant temperature fabric, otherwise, in this 70-degree weather, we would have been sweltering like dogs." Di Zhantian said with a look of horror as he looked at the dust flying around him.

"How are ordinary people supposed to survive this weather?" Ye Yuan said, dumbfounded.

"There's nowhere to go. In this sweltering heat, we have no water or food, and on top of that, there are so many zombies and mutated animals," Dongfang Ao said helplessly.

Yue Chi sighed, recalling how hungry and miserable he and his sister were every day before they met the captain. He said, "People who awaken their superpowers are a bit better off; their physical strength has increased at least several times."

Those who haven't awakened their superpowers live a truly miserable life; it's practically worse than death!

Junjue nodded and replied, "Yes! For ordinary people, living in such a world is worse than death!"

Fortunately, the mutated animals are nocturnal; otherwise, if zombies and mutated animals attacked together during the day, humanity would have an even harder time.

"The captain is right. Although zombies are more agile at night, they will go crazy as long as there is a smell of blood, whether it is day or night."

"Mutant animals are different; they are all nocturnal and rarely attack humans during the day," Yue Chi nodded in agreement.
