Chapter 93 Anthrax

Over there, Du Tao was already treating Ye Zhou's injuries.

Li Cang asked Du Tao to treat his godfather's injuries first, but Cheng Wenxiu refused: "I'm fine, just some minor injuries. Save Ye Zhou first."

Hearing this, Li Cang was dissatisfied but had to give up.

Everyone here had some injuries, big or small. There were also a few surviving healing specialists from other hunting teams. Although their effects were not as good as Du Tao's, they were better than nothing.

Before everyone had finished their treatment, dark clouds finally gathered in the sky and raindrops as big as beans began to fall.

Zhang Xiaobai was just about to ask everyone to get in the car and go back to the base, but he didn't expect Cheng Wenxiu to be faster than him.

"It's raining. Everyone get in the car. There are still injured people in the team who need to be treated back at the base."

After reminding everyone, he seemed calm and powerful, but in fact, he walked towards the nearest vehicle with impatient and frivolous steps, quickly sat in it, and slammed the door shut.

The members of Team 2 silently watched his performance and got into the car with everyone else without saying a word.

Everyone was silent along the way, and big raindrops hit the roof of the car, making an endless thudding sound.

The rain was getting heavier, filling the air with enchanting mist. Looking out the car window, everyone seemed to be in a huge waterfall, with visibility of only five or six meters.

The temperature dropped at an extremely fast rate. After a while, the originally sultry air was slightly chilly, making people feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

Everyone had to slow down. Amid the huge sound of water, a faint sound similar to sobbing could be heard, sometimes close, sometimes far away, like a human yet not like a human.

Under the cover of the rain, something sneaked into the car...

Everyone thought that monsters would suddenly attack, but nothing happened. The world was unusually quiet to a certain extent, and the group returned to the base safely.

The personnel on duty at the city gate hid in a small hut that they used to find too hot. They looked at the group of people who came back in a mess and were speechless. They went through the process silently with umbrellas in the heavy rain.

In theory, anyone with wounds on their body must stay in the observation room for half an hour to ensure that they will not turn into zombies before they can be allowed in.

However, Deputy Base Commander Cheng said that this operation would not encounter zombies, so he deliberately waived this requirement and went straight into the base.

There was no one on the street at this time. Only people would occasionally stick their heads out of the upstairs windows to see what was going on, but they would soon retract their heads. The reason was that the rain was too heavy and the splashing rain could wet the room in minutes.

The water on the street was already ankle-deep and was constantly increasing. Passing vehicles splashed waves, which hit the walls and doors of nearby first-floor buildings.

The vehicle took the hunting team to the villa and then left. The first thing the second team did when they came back was to take a shower. Although they only got a little rained, they had to be on guard.

After Pu Zhi finished taking a shower, a message alert sounded from her phone. It was a message from Su Qingzhu.

: Are you all okay?

Pu Zhi wiped his hair with one hand and typed with the other hand and replied: It's okay.

The message took several turns before it was successfully sent, probably because the heavy rain affected the signal.

There was no reply from the other side for a long time, until the night when they sent an OK gesture.

The heavy rain lasted for a day and a night and then stopped, without causing much damage to the base.

The reward for the task of strangling the mutated banyan tree has also been released. Originally, it provided an opportunity to upgrade to level 4 regardless of success or failure.

However, the base currently does not have so many things, and the last team was only given crystal cores equivalent to the value of ten third-level crystal cores.

It sounds nice, but in fact it is just a bunch of first-level and second-level crystal cores.

Everyone was angry but dared not speak out. Team Two was fine as they did not suffer too much loss, but other hunting teams lost several teammates and only got these little things in return, which further increased everyone's dissatisfaction with the base.

After that, the base did not mention the plan to strangle the mutated banyan tree again, and life went on as usual.

In the blink of an eye, it is already the second year of the apocalypse.

August 2042.

Hunting Team 2 finally gathered enough crystal cores to upgrade to level 4, and the person chosen for the upgrade this time was Xiaoren.

Xiao Ren has been in the second team for more than a year. Everyone has been upgraded except Xiao Ren. Usually, he contributes the most, and this time it is his turn. Everyone has no objection to this.

Pu Zhi accepted it with a smile. Although Xiao Ren had already reached level 4, he still had to act. There were also some plant-type crystal cores in it that could be saved for Qing Yin's upgrade.

Li Cang from Team 1 reached level 4 not long after the last mission of strangling the mutant banyan tree. Now they are almost gathering enough crystal cores for the next person to reach level 4. I heard that they want to let Li Simeng level up.

To be honest, Li Simeng's ability is not very strong. On the contrary, Luo Yun's ability seems to be catching up with Li Cang. But since he is a relative of Li Cang, Luo Yun can only rank behind him.

Everyone in Team 2 was delighted with the changes after Xiao Ren's "upgrade." From now on, Team 2's combat power has risen to a new level, leaving Team 1 far behind...

The next afternoon, Pu Zhi rushed back before the base closed. In the past few months, she would go out to kill zombies whenever she had free time in order to collect crystal cores for Qingyin's upgrade.

Driving on the streets of the base, I found that there were many small banyan trees in the base without me noticing. The trunks were as thick as a man's wrist and about two meters tall, with tassel-like aerial roots on the branches.

Pu Zhi couldn't help but take a few more glances. There hadn't been any banyan trees planted in the base before. Whether it was a coincidence or not, she became more cautious and attentive.

When passing District 3, an ambulance was parked on the side of the street, and many medical staff were carrying stretchers to the car.

The family members nearby cried and begged to be put on the bus, but were pushed away by the medical staff. The crowd watching the incident murmured, but did not dare to take action. The reason was simple: two armed soldiers were standing nearby.

The ambulance did not go to District 3's own hospital, but drove directly into District 1.

Pu Zhi was full of doubts, and her inner restlessness made her unable to help but take a look at the patient with X-ray vision.

There was a fist-sized black hole on his waist. It was so deep that you could almost see the flesh-colored intestines inside. There were also many small sunken black spots next to it, covering the entire left waist.

Pu Zhi frowned and retracted her supernatural power. What kind of disease was this? It was scary and disgusting, and inexplicably gave her a sense of foreboding.

She sent a message to Su Qingzhu, who was an expert in genetics and should know a little about this kind of thing.

As soon as she sent the message, Su Qingzhu replied immediately without any hesitation.
