Han Xiaoxiao and Lao Chang led the way, and Xu Xuening distributed the flamethrowers he was equipped with.
Now, their journey was extremely smooth. They not only rescued many comrades who were hanging on the trees, but also retrieved a lot of lost supplies.
The experimental tent that had fallen into the sand hill was rolled into a ball and hung in front of a building in the town.
Han Xiaoxiao burned the tree trunk next to her before she was able to successfully take back the experimental tent.
The entire big tent was now wrapped in a pile of broken experimental instruments. The overturned bottles and jars had dyed the camouflage tent even more colorful. I don't know which bottle of experimental liquid had been spilled, and it gave off an unpleasant smell.
"This one wasn't taken away." Professor Yang looked at his lab equipment happily, and saw that many of the specimens were still intact. He happily asked Xu Xuening to keep them all, saying that he would take them out after returning to Huacheng.
Xu Xuening looked at the things with disdain, and simply waved her hand, putting everything into the space. As for sorting, forget it. The smell of feces really made her lose interest in sorting.
"Professor, it's time to go." Captain Shi saw that most of his comrades had been found, and for the rest... they could only go back with the relics they found.
"Well, we have to preserve these three things well. Maybe they will be our food for the summer." Professor Yang said happily, holding a bag in his arms.
…
The plane slowly approached Huacheng, and Han Xiaoxiao and the other team members became excited. After a month away, they had seen scenes they would rather not see again. Now, they all wanted to eat meat, and their faces turned green at the mention of vegetables.
When the weather was good, they flew over the vast plains. Opening the windows, they saw the land below was a yellow-gray hue. Professor Yang explained that the continued spread of the zombie virus was no longer limited to affecting humans. Many lands and animals had also been affected.
"According to our predictions at the time, humans might not even survive three winters. Food mutations will reduce the availability of edible plants, which is why the country urgently sent us out to search for alternative food resources." Professor Yang sighed, "Luckily, we brought Miss Xu with us this time, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to bring back so many things. That would be a shame."
Professor Yang has been holding the bottles and jars in his arms since he got on the plane and has never let go. He even looks at the three treasures in his arms while eating.
After hearing his story, others did not have such deep feelings. It was uncertain whether they could survive a summer, so who would care where the food would come from three years later.
Since the end of the world, those who have escaped death have become more and more careless about life and death. No one knows what they will encounter in the next moment, and no one can guarantee that they can live to old age. So they are not so concerned about what the future holds.
"Speaking of which, Miss Xu, did you know that the crystal core of zombies can stimulate the growth of plants?" Professor Yang raised his head and asked Xu Xuening.
Xu Xuening shook her head. She held the cup of water in her hand. The water in it was provided to her by a person with water energy next to her. Han Xiaoxiao even heated it up for her enthusiastically.
This convenient and quick little ability is the most welcomed by everyone in the team right now, as it directly improves their quality of life.
I heard that on their last mission, the so-called water was actually ice chips, and they all got stomach problems after returning.
"I've heard from colleagues who study crystal cores that this zombie's crystal core is a very valuable resource," Professor Yang said. "It can be used to generate many things, just like batteries and fertilizers."
"Have you ever done this experiment?" Xu Xuening asked with concern. If so, she would have a lot of crystal cores in her space. It had been a long time since her space expanded, and she didn't know what had happened. But the crystal cores she had collected might be useful.
"No, I came out right after I received this mission. As for the research, I can only submit a report and apply for it after I return."
Professor Yang sighed.
"If you need anything, you can contact me. I'm very interested in what you're talking about." Xu Xuening gave Professor Yang an address in Huacheng. "Especially the crystal core. I think I should be able to help you." Professor Yang was a good professor, and she felt that she might still be in touch with him.
"Haha, it's okay. I will apply for the crystal core from the higher-ups. It should be easy for me at this level." Professor Yang smiled and didn't think it would be difficult to get the crystal core for experiments.
Anyway, there are a lot of zombies now, so finding two shouldn't be that difficult.
Little did they know that Huacheng's crystal cores had already been strictly controlled.
Since the comprehensive enhancement of all human abilities, the conversion and production of crystal cores has been put into production. Crystal cores on the black market are extremely expensive, and the shortage of crystal cores has further prompted many people to form their own hunting teams to hunt for crystal cores. The zombies near Huacheng have been almost completely wiped out.
Even the scorpions that Xu Xuening encountered at the beginning were burned by the fire.
When they approached Hwaseong, they saw that the entire outside of Hwaseong was black and white, as if it had been cupped.
…
"Mom, I'm back." After returning to Huacheng, Xu Xuening went straight back to her home. She was shocked to see that the house was empty.
"Are you the girl from the Xu family?" The door next to him opened and a person leaned out.
