They rowed continuously for quite some time until they were a safe distance from the island. Then, as if she had exhausted all her strength, Xu Anran casually tossed the oar aside and collapsed limply onto the boat.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng quickly reached out and gently massaged Xu Anran's shoulders and tapped her arms, hoping to help relieve her fatigue.
Xu Liang and Fan Yunfei looked at the people in front of them with puzzled expressions, their eyes revealing a hint of confusion. At this moment, Xu Anran, panting heavily, complained irritably, "I'm almost exhausted! Do you know how much effort and how long it took me to finally get to this island?" She then held up one finger, emphasizing, "A whole day! From dawn till dusk without stopping! I really can't take it anymore, I need to rest. Do you guys even know how to row?"
Seeing the two of them shake their heads in denial, Xu Anran turned her helpless and weak gaze to Xiao Feng and said listlessly, "Then I'll leave this to you. You can teach them."
Xiao Feng accepted the task without hesitation, quickly raised his hand in salute, and replied, "I will definitely complete the task." Then, he devoted himself to teaching the two of them.
Surprisingly, they both had exceptional learning abilities and progressed rapidly. In just one night, they successfully completed the journey that Xu Anran had taken a whole day to finish.
As the small boat slowly approached the shore, everyone looked listless, as if all their strength had been drained away. Exhausted, they had no desire to talk; their only wish was to climb into bed and get a good night's sleep.
The group entered the small house where Xu Anran and Xiao Feng had stayed. Since Xu Anran had rested on the boat, she volunteered to take on the responsibility of keeping watch, while the other three couldn't wait to go to bed.
On Xu Anran's side, they successfully weathered the crisis, and their tense nerves finally relaxed as everyone began to rest and regroup. However, in stark contrast, Uncle Li was currently facing a thorny problem.
After parting ways with everyone, Uncle Li arrived at the waiting hall. Xu Liang wouldn't arrive for another day, so he decided to use this free time to explore a new world, planning to reunite with Xu Liang upon his return from his mission.
Having made up his mind, Uncle Li quickly found the control panel. Since he didn't have many points on hand, after careful consideration, he finally spent 30 points to select a specific world and boarded the train to embark on an unknown journey.
Before long, Uncle Li was successfully teleported to his expected destination—an empty house in the suburbs.
It's worth noting that this designated location is not randomly generated, but rather allows users to input relevant keywords, and then the panel uses this key information to filter out suitable locations and send them to the user.
However, to ensure the system's stability and efficiency, it was stipulated that each user could not enter more than five keywords. Based on this restriction, Uncle Li carefully selected several highly representative words: "suburbs," "few people," "safe," "with transportation," and "with communication."
Uncle Li, his eyes scanning the empty room warily, felt a sense of antiquity permeate the air. He moved with steady steps, carefully exploring every corner.
After searching for a while, Uncle Li found a slightly dilapidated but still usable electric vehicle and an old-fashioned radio, which matched the set keywords.
Through the window, Uncle Li saw groups of zombies wandering the streets outside, and he realized that he had entered a zombie world.
The zombies in this world are different from those Xu Anran and the others had encountered before. Here, every zombie has a crystal core hidden in its head, and the higher-level zombies even possess special abilities.
With his special abilities, Uncle Li quickly integrated into this new world. Using his fire-based powers, he successfully killed numerous low-level zombies time and time again, obtaining a large number of level one crystal cores, as well as some level two crystal cores.
Uncle Li accidentally met a group of survivors from the base who were out searching for supplies to survive. Uncle Li joined their group and traveled together.
During their time together, he quickly learned that the zombie outbreak in this world had been going on for over a year, and that many people within the base had successfully awakened their superpowers. He returned to the base with these people, and thanks to his own superpower, he successfully secured an enviable job within the base, becoming a member of the base's official patrol team.
Every morning, as the first rays of sunlight fall upon the earth, he and his teammates get ready to begin their patrol mission.
They patrolled around the base, constantly on guard against any potential threats that might approach—those hideous zombies.
If any zombies dare to enter the area near the base, they must be eliminated quickly to ensure the base's safety. Any unexpected events or difficult problems should be reported to superiors immediately.
During his time at the base, whenever Uncle Li had a spare moment, he would eagerly take out his telephoto lens to check on Xiao Feng's condition.
The moment the image of Xiao Feng being pushed off the high bridge appeared on screen, Uncle Li felt as if the whole world froze. His eyes widened, unable to believe what he was seeing. His hands trembled so much that he could barely hold the recording mirror, almost dropping it. An uncontrollable fear and panic surged from the depths of his heart, overwhelming his reason like a tidal wave.
However, just as Uncle Li was in despair, he saw Xu Anran step forward and bravely rescue Xiao Feng. Watching the two of them finally escape from the dense horde of zombies, Uncle Li's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally slowly settled down.
He let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as if he had returned to reality after surviving a terrifying nightmare. At this moment, he was filled with endless gratitude towards Xu Anran, and also extremely happy that Xiao Feng had escaped danger unscathed.
However, the peaceful days did not last long. One morning, Uncle Li was on patrol outside the base as usual.
Suddenly, his keen eyes caught sight of a dark mass emerging on the distant horizon. A sense of foreboding washed over him, and he quickly raised his binoculars to observe that direction closely.
What he saw made him gasp in horror: countless zombies were pouring in from all directions! They were like a surging tide, overwhelming everything, as if they wanted to devour the entire world.
