It's not Linhai City.
Instead, it was black rain falling all over the earth.
This rain, so unscientific and illogical, will only worsen the situation for humanity.
Fortunately, at least this rain gave it some color.
Normal people wouldn't go out in the rain on their own initiative, but there are always some abnormal ones.
They believed that since the black rain could make zombies evolve, it might also make humans evolve.
Especially those ordinary people who haven't awakened their special abilities yet, they are unwilling to remain ordinary and don't want to be bullied by awakened individuals anymore.
The idea was good, but it was a bit stupid.
These people either died or were eaten by zombies.
What?
You said you wanted to kindly remind everyone?
We cannot allow human survivors to suffer heavy losses.
Indeed, some people did this in their past lives, advising awakened individuals and ordinary people not to go out in the rain.
And what was the result?
This, on the contrary, aroused their rebellious mentality.
Ordinary people feel that this is erasing their only chance to awaken their superpowers.
Then more people with mental disabilities went out into the streets and were drenched to death by the black rain.
Some people were too afraid to go out in the rain, so they cleverly collected the rainwater in a bowl and drank it, only to die on the spot within minutes.
Ordinary awakened individuals believe that this is stifling their hope of becoming stronger.
As expected, many of the awakened ones also suffered losses.
What's most outrageous is that after the black rain stopped, many people condemned that person.
They believed that while he appeared to be offering well-intentioned advice, he actually harbored malicious intentions and deliberately reduced the human population.
Many people considered this person to be a terrorist who had committed crimes against humanity, and then, unable to bear the shock, he chose to commit suicide.
This is essentially no different from cyberbullying before the apocalypse.
Zhang Hao wouldn't meddle in other people's business; the lives and deaths of others were none of his concern.
He only needs to tell his own people.
"What? Black rain can make zombies evolve?"
"And zombies go into berserk mode at night? Hiding inside a house is useless?"
"After the seven days of black rain end, will all the zombies become level two?"
"My God! How are people supposed to live like this?"
After hearing the explanation, the team members were all extremely shocked.
Although Fang Ping had heard his boss mention it before, he knew nothing about the specific details, so he was quite surprised.
Zhang Hao said calmly, "It's very dangerous for others, but it's a great opportunity for us. Killing level 2 zombies will allow us to advance to level 3 awakened beings faster, and it will also allow level 1 awakened beings to advance to level 2 awakened beings faster."
"It won't be a problem for everyone to reach level three in a little time. As long as we're not surrounded by a large number of level two zombies, we won't be in any danger."
Yes.
If it absorbs a primary crystal nucleus.
It would take at least 1,500 to reach level four.
And it would take a full three months, but with a level 2 crystal core it would be different, and it should be able to upgrade in less than a month.
The accumulated two thousand-plus level-one crystal cores are just enough to train newly joined team members, while level-two crystal cores can be given to well-performing team members to help them advance to level three.
Moreover, Level 4 is a watershed moment.
Not only will their physical abilities increase several times over, but most importantly, their control over their superpowers will undergo a qualitative change.
Zhang Hao plans to leverage the team's resources to prioritize advancing himself to level four.
Then came Raven, and then Fang Ping.
As for the others, we'll have to see how they perform.
Just as they were finishing their discussion, a violent roar came from the shopping mall.
"Roar! Roar~~"
Suddenly, a large number of zombies poured out of the main gate.
The zombies seemed to be on drugs; their eyes had all turned black, and a violent, decaying aura emanated from them.
These zombies moved with incredible speed, roaring as they raced down the street.
Some of the zombies, with black slime dripping from their mouths, attacked them.
Everyone's expression changed drastically. Was this the berserk mode?
"You guys retreat first! Fang Ping and Xu Mo, protect Hu Xiaonan and Xu Mengyan!" Zhang Hao said decisively.
"Okay! Be careful, boss!"
Fang Ping didn't ask the boss what he wanted to do.
Because he had already guessed that the boss was so strong that he should be fine.
Then just do your job well.
Fang Ping and his companions rode their electric bikes, weaving through traffic and speeding down the street.
Fortunately, although these zombies were fast, they were still only level one zombies and not fast enough to keep up with the speed of the electric car.
Watching them leave, Zhang Hao hid in a nearby shop.
Despite the presence of several zombies, he easily dealt with them all.
While the zombies' berserk mode is indeed formidable, even if they can smell the scent of humans, they prioritize targeting multiple people.
The more people there are, the more relentlessly the zombies will pursue them.
On the contrary, a person is relatively safer at night.
Of course, safety is only relative, because zombies' sense of smell also has a limited range.
If there are no signs of human presence near the zombie horde, then venturing into the horde alone is tantamount to walking into a trap.
Fortunately, there were quite a few humans nearby.
After the zombies emerged from the shopping mall, they immediately went after the big target.
The reason why Zhang Hao stayed is obvious.
For the supplies of the shopping mall!
Once all the zombies are gone, he can raid their base, hehe.
Nearly twenty minutes passed.
The shopping mall fell silent; everyone must have left.
"Are there really no zombies left?" Raven asked, still worried.
"Probably. There might be zombies, but definitely not many. They won't pose much of a danger to us."
"Alright, let's go in then."
Zhang Hao quietly entered the shopping mall.
I didn't even glance at the clothing stores on the first and second floors, heading straight for the large supermarket on the third, fourth, and fifth floors.
Sure enough, there wasn't a single zombie; they had all gone out to forage for food.
The third floor is filled with household items such as pots and pans, toilet paper, disinfectant, toilet cleaner, and so on.
How should I put these things?
Anyway, I'll definitely need it, and I still have time.
Then let's take everything away; the third and fourth floors are mainly food.
For example, salt, fruit, eggs and dairy products, snacks, grains and oils.
There was meat available, but unfortunately it was all spoiled. The frozen meat was still edible, but it wasn't very fresh.
Eating it may cause diarrhea and vomiting.
Discard anything that's spoiled, take everything else with you.
If you don't eat the frozen meat yourself, you can trade it to other Awakened Ones, which is a pretty good business.
Including the goods in the supermarket warehouse, it's about 100,000 tons.
"Dad, aren't we going to look at the sixth floor?" Raven asked.
"I'm still thinking about it."
"Furniture and department stores will definitely need to build gathering places in the future, right? Although there are wood-type ability users, it is definitely more convenient to have them ready-made than to make them."
Raven slowly said, "I think we can take those clothes from the first and second floors as well. Although we don't need them now, we'll definitely need them in the future. Clothes don't take up much space."
