Just as Gu Lingxiao was absorbing the crystals and advancing to the second stage of his rapid regeneration ability, the Lin brothers returned. They first observed outside the survivor base, and when they saw Gu Lingchuan, the two brothers were overjoyed.
"That's great, Mr. Gu, you're alright. What happened that day?" Lin An asked with surprise.
After leaving, the two brothers found a place to recover from their injuries. Once they were almost healed, they planned to come back and avenge Gu Lingchuan. To this end, they found a lot of gasoline and planned to pour it into the fishpond to force the monster out.
Gu Lingchuan gave them a brief explanation.
"Lin An, have you figured out your special ability yet?"
Lin An shook his head awkwardly. This was the most awkward part; no matter what he tried, it hadn't worked during this period.
"Let me see. My abilities have changed somewhat after advancing to the second stage."
The mental field locked onto Lin An, and instantly Lin An's hair stood on end as if someone was holding a gun to his head.
Fortunately, Lin An knew that Gu Lingchuan wouldn't do anything to her, so she didn't resist.
"Before entering the extraordinary sequence, the first stage of evolutionary beings possesses the ability to infect emotions. When encountering invincible enemies, they can shout out some passionate lines to stir up their own and their teammates' emotions. The more intense the emotions, the stronger the amplification. At the same time, they can also use emotions to weaken the enemy's evolutionary direction—God."
Looking at the introduction, Gu Lingchuan didn't know what to say. This ability would be a killer in the hands of a pyramid scheme master, but in the time they spent together, Lin An, although talkative, was a pretty serious person.
In short, it doesn't quite match his personality.
"Did President Gu notice?" Lin An asked somewhat anxiously.
Gu Lingchuan simply explained everything to him and told him to figure it out himself.
After listening to Gu Lingchuan's words, Lin An remained silent for a moment, then sighed, "What kind of weird ability is this?"
"Heh, that's easy. Just read more action-packed novels, put yourself in the shoes of the male protagonists, and see what they say and do when they're in dire straits," Gu Lingxiao said casually, appearing out of nowhere.
The sudden sound startled the two of them. There were only three people in the room, and the sudden appearance of a fourth person's voice would startle anyone.
Looking towards the source of the voice, he instantly knew who it was. The voice bore a striking resemblance to Gu Lingchuan, so there was no need to guess; it was Gu Lingchuan's younger brother, Gu Lingxiao.
As expected, Gu Lingchuan introduced, "This is my younger brother, Gu Lingxiao, who just teleported here."
"I'm sorry for what happened before," Lin Yu said sincerely to Gu Lingchuan and Gu Lingxiao.
Next, Gu Lingchuan shared a lot of useful information, including the origin of zombies, superpowers and pollution power, and superpower sequences.
This information was indeed very useful to them. Gu Lingchuan shared it selflessly because there would be fewer and fewer humans in the future, and they might even disappear. As long as they were not enemies, sharing information was fine.
After Gu Lingchuan and Gu Lingxiao left, Lin An said enviously, "Brother, their superpowers are so strong!"
"There's no need to compare ourselves to them. Compared to most people, we're already very lucky. Let's focus on improving first and see if we can cooperate with them in the second phase."
Even if it's just doing logistics, we should still get along well with them. Xiao An is right, their superpowers are too good. Teleportation, as long as they don't do anything reckless, it's hard for them to die. Their combat power is extremely strong.
What's even more terrifying is Gu Lingchuan, who has the ability to decipher unknown information. With this information gap, it's hard to remain mediocre in this world. Moreover, he himself has remarkable abilities, and with a capable younger brother, he's practically invincible.
The next day, Gu Lingchuan handed over the miscellaneous tasks of managing the survivor base to Lin Yu, since they had established it themselves. Besides, he and Gu Lingxiao had to hunt zombies and had no time to manage it.
They didn't know how many crystals were needed to advance to the third stage, so they could only collect as many as possible. Three days later, Gu Lingxiao originally planned to go to the military base.
However, none of the maps he could access marked the location of the military base. He only knew a general direction: it was on the left side of the upper reaches of the Li River, about seven or eight kilometers behind Lijiang City.
The main idea was to find some explosives to blow up the factory, but Gu Lingchuan ultimately rejected the idea, saying that the explosives would be too loud and that if they were to explode, all the zombies in Lijiang City would probably swarm in.
Furthermore, it's unclear what kind of strange things some of the mutated zombies might attract, and they simply can't withstand it in their current state.
On this very day, Lin Yu found Gu Lingchuan, because he had just tamed a flock of pigeons and rats. Although most of them hadn't mutated, they could still gather a lot of information by scattering around.
He didn't have time to do these things before, but now that he's free from pressure, he can explore his superpower. One of the strongest aspects of his superpower is that once tamed, he can release them far away and obtain information from them upon their return.
Several dangerous areas in the surrounding area were explored, and some survivors were also found.
Gu Lingchuan looked at the simple map drawn by Lin Yu and said, "We should bring back any survivors we can. We should shelter as many as we can. Maybe some of them will be talented individuals who can surprise us."
"That's what I was thinking too. I'll list out some rules later, Mr. Gu, see if they're suitable," Lin Yu said, now clinging tightly to the two of them.
Gu Lingchuan nodded. "In that case, I'll set aside some crystals for you."
Gu Lingchuan would only take from his own share.
After agreeing on these terms, Gu Lingchuan and Gu Lingxiao set off. The two had cleared out most of the zombies around the factory, collecting over four hundred zombie crystals in total. They absorbed all of them, but they still didn't feel the urge to advance to the third stage.
I don't know how much crystallization is needed for the third stage.
Arriving at Yupin Technology Co., Ltd., this is the place where Gu Lingxiao killed zombies before. There are two four-story and one six-story factory buildings, as well as a nine-story employee dormitory building.
The distances are not too far, all within 300 meters, except for the staff dormitory building which is a little further away, about 500 or 600 meters away.
There were no zombies on the rooftops, so the two planned to hunt them down in these buildings.
Gu Lingchuan mainly provides support from the rooftop, while Gu Lingxiao can teleport between these floors, taking advantage of the complex terrain to avoid being surrounded.
The first day went smoothly, but when there were too many zombies in a building, the two of them switched places.
They struggled back and forth, but things changed on the second day. Because Gu Lingchuan and his companion hadn't checked the employee dormitory building, there were still survivors on the lower and middle floors, while the other three factory buildings had been occupied by zombies.
They either had to ignore the lives of the survivors and continue the struggle to lure the zombies to the staff dormitory, or the two of them would have to face a large wave of zombies and rush out.
The zombies in the vicinity have all been attracted here; there are probably tens of thousands of them. The two of them only killed a little over three hundred yesterday.
"Let me fly you out first," Gu Lingchuan said, and then they would wait until the zombies calmed down before rescuing the survivors.
