Safety zone. When Zhou Jinchen lined up to enter the safety zone, he was shocked by the scene inside.

There was only enough space on the street for one car to pass through, and the rest of the space was occupied by densely packed tents.

There was an old man sitting in front of a small tent, his cloudy eyes staring outside dully and numbly.

Zhou Jinchen silently hugged Zhong Yi and walked towards his home.

"Jinchen!" Shen Changnian strode over and grabbed Zhou Jinchen: "It's really you!"

"Uncle!" After not seeing each other for more than two months, Zhou Jinchen was very excited to see Shen Changnian, otherwise he would have rushed over to him if he had been holding a child.

"It's good that you're back." Shen Changnian patted Zhou Jinchen's shoulder.

"Come on, I'll take you to your dad's place. He's been so worried about you lately that he can't even eat."

"Remember to speak nicely later and don't make him angry." Shen Changnian warned.

"When did I get angry with him? It's obviously because he has a bad temper!" Zhou Jinchen retorted: "And he's cunning and likes to set me up!"

Zhou Jinchen looked constipated when he thought about what happened before. "Uncle, can I go later? I need to find a place to put him down first."

Shen Changnian only then noticed the child in his arms and was a little surprised: "Where did the child come from?"

"It belongs to my brother Fan." Zhou Jinchen and Shen Changnian roughly told them what happened along the way.

He subconsciously concealed the fact that Fan Xin was feeding zombies, after all, it was too shocking to talk about.

Shen Changnian brought Zhou Jinchen to the Government Affairs Office, put Zhong Yi in his office, and explained: "The population of the safe zone has increased dramatically. Our homes have been given to others to live in. We are now living in the office."

Zhou Jinchen nodded and said nothing.

Shen Changnian took him to the door of the mayor's office and patted him on the shoulder: "Go in, remember to speak properly and don't make any mistakes."

Zhou Jinchen curled his lips and raised his hand to knock.

"Come in." The voice from inside was familiar yet unfamiliar, and he seemed not to have heard it for a long time.

Zhou Jinchen opened the door and walked in. In front of the desk, Mayor Zhou pinched his brows tiredly, picked up the water cup and took a sip, then raised his eyes and saw the person at the door.

He was stunned and his eyes turned red instantly.

"Dad..." Zhou Jinchen felt a little sad and uncomfortable when he saw his father's expression.

His eyes were hot and his throat was slightly choked. He hadn't seen his father for more than two months, but most of his father's hair had turned white.

Mayor Zhou stood up, swayed his body, strode towards him and hugged him.

"That's good, that's good." Mayor Zhou murmured.

Zhou Jinchen sniffed, hugged his father, and then felt something was wrong.

He let go of his hand and stepped back. Mayor Zhou pulled out a two-finger-thick bramble from somewhere.

"Dad! I was wrong!" Zhou Jinchen was so scared that his hair stood on end and he turned and ran away.

Click, Shen Changnian closed the door for him considerately outside.

Zhou Jinchen was a step too slow and was locked in the office: "Uncle, you are a traitor!"

“Ah ...

"You still feel the pain? Run, you bastard! I'll see where you're going. You just disappeared without a word, and you still think of coming back?"

"I can't kill you today!"

Zhou Jinchen jumped up and down, but the bramble still hit him again and again. Even though the thorns on the bramble had been scraped clean, it still hurt like fire.

Mayor Zhou was tired of beating him. He threw away the whip in his hand and gasped for breath. "Does it hurt?"

Zhou Jinchen huddled weakly in the corner, nodding frantically.

Mayor Zhou lifted his foot and returned to his desk: "It's good that you know it hurts. Be more thoughtful in the future."

Every time Zhou Jinchen moved, he grimaced in pain.

He quickly went over, picked up the bramble, and skillfully hid it behind his back: "Dad, I have something to tell you, something serious."

Mayor Zhou glanced at him, clearly not believing he could have any serious business, and snorted, "Go ahead."

He took out the crystal core from his trouser pocket: "Do you know this?"

"Crystal core?" Mayor Zhou put down his pen and motioned for him to continue.

"Well, the crystal core. The energy in this thing can stimulate and enhance superpowers. I also know a meditation method that can promote the absorption of the energy in the crystal core." Zhou Jinchen scratched his head and asked uncertainly, "Do you know anyone with superpowers?"

Mayor Zhou's expression was calm, his fingers unconsciously sliding across the table: "How did you know that?"

Zhou Jinchen was alert: "Why are you asking this?"

From childhood to adulthood, his father had no idea how many traps he had set for him. After listening to his father's questioning, he felt like there was a trap.

Mayor Zhou saw his defensive expression and rubbed his brows. "If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. First, tell me how to use the crystal core and what exactly happened with your meditation."

Zhou Jinchen looked at his father's face suspiciously for a moment, but couldn't see anything.

He pulled a chair and sat across from Mayor Zhou. "You can eat the crystal cores, but be careful with how you use them, and don't overdo it. Use meditation more often to stabilize and improve..."

Zhou Jinchen kept talking, and the more he talked, the tighter Mayor Zhou's brows furrowed.

He interrupted Zhou Jinchen and said, "After all this talk, how do you actually eat the crystal core? And what exactly is that meditation method?"

Zhou Jinchen grinned and said, "Don't worry, Dad. I can tell you this, but you have to exchange it for something."

Mayor Zhou was a little doubtful whether the man in front of him was his son. His son looked so stupid, but how could he be so scheming?

He asked, "What in exchange?"

Zhou Jinchen was a little stuck for a moment. What should he use to exchange it?

Fan Xin has everything he needs now, including food and clothing. Money will be useless after the apocalypse.

Then there is only...

"Blood, yes, use 400ml of blood to exchange. You can't use other people's blood, only yours." Zhou Jinchen made the decision.

Mayor Zhou: “…”

He stared at Zhou Jinchen for a while before asking, "No, that's fine, but what do you want my blood for?"

Zhou Jinchen's scalp tingled, and he stiffened his neck and said, "Don't ask me about that. Oh, by the way, you can't tell anyone else the method I tell you. Anyone who wants to know this method will have to pay 400ml of blood."

He added, "No bargaining!"

Mayor Zhou: “…”

Fan Xin took out blood from the space and used his supernatural power to freeze it into fifty blood ice cubes of equal size, along with several crystal cores, and stuffed them into their mouths.

He gave the remaining elixir to Xu Yan.

The black-faced man whom Fan Xin met at the gas station before was also a psychic, but Fan Xin did not use his psychic powers and shattered the elixir in his body.

Sui Jing tilted his head, staring at Fan Xin eagerly, and stretched out his hand like a child asking for candy: "Where's mine?"

Fan Xin glanced at him calmly: "No."

She would be crazy to help him level up. It’s better for him to stay at the second level.

Sui Jing withdrew his hand with a look of disappointment, feeling pitiful and aggrieved: "Okay..."

Fan Xin turned a blind eye.

There are not many rooms in the Manor Hotel, but each room is super luxurious, but there are less than fifty rooms in total.

There are exactly three suites on the third floor, one for Fan Xin and one for Xu Yan and Sui Jing.

The other zombies were left roaming freely in the manor.

Fan Xin put all the things in the hotel into her space one by one. The warehouse in her space was not big enough, so she piled the things outside the warehouse.

In just over a year, this manor hotel will completely disappear, and she needs to use her supernatural powers to build a base before that.

After Fan Xin returned to the room, he checked the blood in the space. Because so much blood had been collected and used, there was not much left.

Along the way, she consumed a lot herself and also had to supply Xu Yan. Now there were Sui Jing and the zombies outside.

Fan Xin urgently needs to "make money" to support his family.

After a night, when Fan Xin got up to check the next day, as expected, all the zombies had entered the second stage. The ferocity on their faces was much less, and their movements were not as stiff.

Xu Yan successfully entered the third stage, and her eyes became much more flexible. However, unlike Fan Xin, she had no memories of her human days, and even though her voice had recovered somewhat, she could not speak.

Fan Xin instructed Xu Yan to manage the zombies here well, not letting them go out to bite people, and not letting humans enter here.

Xu Yan is now at level three, so it should be no problem for her to manage these zombies.

Fan Xin put the truck into the space, sat in the van, looked at the map on it, and chose Yunsang County, which was closest to the manor.

Sui Jinggen naturally opened the passenger door and sat in.

Fan Xin glanced at him and said nothing. She was even more worried about this guy staying in the manor.

Fan Xin drove very fast, shortening the journey.

Twenty minutes later, Fan Xin appeared outside Yunsang County.

Yunsang County is neither close nor far from the center of S City. The doomsday has been coming for more than two months. Logically, the people in Yunsang County should have evacuated.

However, after the doomsday came, firstly, the communication was cut off, and secondly, the authorities could not spare so many manpower to rescue people everywhere. Fan Xin estimated that there must be many people trapped in Yunsang County.

After entering Yunsang County, Fan Xin only saw zombies wandering in the streets.

"They are so ugly." Sui Jing said suddenly.

Fan Xin turned a deaf ear, opened the window and sniffed the air outside.

The human scent is very faint.

But she followed the smell and drove to the outside of the Yunsang County gymnasium.

"Roar--" An angry roar sounded, and the surrounding grass and trees grew wildly, and vines lashed towards the van.

With a snap, the van dented.

The vines were thrown down densely and the van was quickly deformed.

"Ah, so awesome!" Sui Jing exclaimed. He had no intention of interfering, and looked at Fan Xin with a smile and tilted his head.

Fan Xin kicked the deformed van open, grabbed the vine that was pulled out, and pulled it out by the roots with force.

The noise outside alarmed the people in the gymnasium.

Someone was leaning on the second-floor window and looking out.

"Someone is coming! Look everyone, someone is coming! He seems very powerful and is fighting with that zombie!!" Pan Yuan shouted excitedly, pointing outside.

When a dozen men and women in their twenties in the gym heard Pan Yuan's voice, they all ran to the second floor.

They watched nervously and excitedly as Fan Xin dealt with the wildly waving vines.

"How? Can she handle that zombie?"

"Of course she can. Look, those vines are so powerful, but she's not hurt at all!"

"We're saved, right?"

Sui Jing looked up at the second floor with a sarcastic smile on his face.

Human beings are so pathetic and ridiculous.

He withdrew his gaze, leaned lazily back in his chair, and watched Fan Xin deftly pull out the vines around him.

The angry zombie rushed out roaring. It was a little afraid of Fan Xin and bared its teeth from a distance, intending to drive Fan Xin and the others away.
