After the animals on Earth mutated, their flesh became more tender and textured under the enhancement of alien energy, but the taste was truly indescribable.
Sighing inwardly, Huang Zhao desperately hoped that a survivor with awakened animal affinity abilities would appear in Dawn City.
Then he can capture mutated beasts and give them to him to breed, cultivating them into meat that suits human tastes.
However, no one had yet awakened this ability, so Huang Zhao had no choice but to give up.
Within Huang Zhao's mental perception range, the strongest creature in the river at this moment was a water snake that had reached the late stage of level one and was about to break through to level two, posing no threat whatsoever to him.
Transforming grief and anger into strength, Huang Zhao concentrated all his mental energy and shot it into the minds of these aquatic mutated beasts.
Immediately, one after another, the river delicacies floated to the surface of the water with their eyes rolled back, their life force already gone.
After contacting Brother Jie via the terminal to retrieve the mutated beast's corpse, extract the crystal, and preserve it in a refrigerated container, Huang Zhao continued searching along the river.
It will be excellent energy to feed King Kong or zombies.
It took nearly two hours to search the approximately 4-square-kilometer Fusen Country Park, where a total of 63 Class I and 4 Class II aquatic mutant beasts were found.
All of them either died instantly under Huang Zhao's mental attack, or were killed by Qin Yi after escaping to the shore.
At this point, except for Dongjing Lake east of Dawn City, all the aquatic mutant beasts in the park's waterways had been cleared away by Huang Zhao.
After instructing Brother Jie to intercept the river flowing through the park upstream, Huang Zhao and Qin Yi left the park.
Head southeast, rush towards the first special marker, prepare to clear it in a clockwise direction, and finally head northeast to the digital city.
As soon as Huang Zhao left through the south gate of the park, he sensed that his main body, which was resting in the bedroom of the shelter, was being shaken violently.
Startled, Huang Zhao stopped by the roadside, pretending to check the terminal, his mind instantly returning to his physical body.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Alice with an anxious expression and she said to him:
"Brother Huang Zhao, hurry to the control center! Something terrible has happened!"
With doubts in his mind, he stood up and mentally scanned the control room.
At this moment, Ning Chuxia was crying with tears streaming down her face as she looked at the images transmitted back from the exploration team in front of the control panel.
Below the drone, a robust young woman struggled to fend off zombie attacks with a titanium alloy spear issued by Dawn City.
The other four teammates stood somewhat timidly on the sidelines, assisting and hindering some of the zombies' movements.
A girl lay on the ground, seriously injured, her life hanging in the balance. The blood flowing from her body fueled the zombies' frenzy.
This is the hunting team led by Zheng Lan. Besides her, there is a classmate who has awakened a level 2 flesh system ability, and the other four are still level 1 evolvers who have not yet awakened their abilities.
......
Before leaving the city in the morning, based on the high-level zombie location marked by the reconnaissance team yesterday, which was displayed on the terminal, Zheng Lan confirmed that there was a level 2 flesh-type zombie south of Dawn City.
The ranking was determined by the 5 points Huang Zhao gave him as an extra reward, which sparked Zheng Lan's desire to go hunting.
Ning Chuxia had already broken through to level three by morning, which made Zheng Lan feel a little urgency.
She also wanted to hunt high-level zombies to obtain crystals and level up as soon as possible to catch up with Ning Chuxia.
Her team now has two level-two flesh-based ability users, so dealing with level-two zombies shouldn't be a problem.
Zheng Lan explained her idea to her five teammates, and although they were somewhat worried, they agreed to her request.
Since the apocalypse, they have been fighting zombies, and in the past few days, each of them has killed at least a hundred zombies while carrying out missions in Dawn City.
After leaving the city, Zheng Lan and her group went directly to the distinctive marker on the terminal.
They successfully located the level 2 flesh-type zombie, and after a fierce battle, Zheng Lan's team successfully killed it.
While extracting the crystal from the back of the zombie's head, a second level-two zombie of unknown type suddenly appeared.
Suddenly, the girl who was digging for crystals was bitten on the neck by a zombie. Her painful screams startled the other five people who were stunned by the sudden turn of events.
Zheng Lan immediately rushed forward, thrusting her titanium alloy spear at the head of the zombie that had suddenly barged in.
Upon seeing the spear thrusting towards him, the zombie immediately released the girl who had been bitten, dodged Zheng Lan's attack, and then charged towards her at an extreme speed.
Before the zombies could even reach her, Zheng Lan was struck by invisible energy, leaving bloody wounds on her body.
The smell of blood immediately excited the zombie, making it rush towards Zheng Lan even faster.
Zheng Lan narrowly avoided the zombie's attack, and now she has more than a dozen fine wounds on her body.
The other girls weren't as mentally strong or skilled in combat, and they completely panicked when they saw their companion lying on the ground with a bite wound on the neck.
Trembling with fear, they blocked the horde of zombies that gathered around after smelling the blood. As for Zheng Lan's battle with the zombies, they couldn't get involved at all.
Zheng Lan had a rough idea of the zombie's abilities: extremely fast speed and invisible attacks, which were very likely wind-based.
Although both are at level two, the strength is less than mine, but the speed is much faster.
If she had awakened an elemental type instead of a flesh-based type, she might have already been killed by this wind-based zombie.
Zheng Lan's face darkened; she knew that if things continued like this, she would be killed by this wind-type zombie sooner or later.
If she were killed, her four remaining companions would certainly not be able to stop this wind-type zombie, since they had come to risk their lives because of her.
With a gritted tooth, Zheng Lan made up her mind.
'I'm sorry, Chuxia, I can't be by your side to protect you anymore...'
When the wind-type zombie lunged at her again, Zheng Lan did not dodge, letting its claws reach her.
"Sister Lan!"
Amidst the gasps of her four teammates, Zheng Lan's chest was ripped open by the sharp claws of the wind-type zombie.
Despite the excruciating pain, Zheng Lan grabbed the wind-elemental zombie's hand with her other hand. As the zombie paused, she brandished a spear with her other hand and thrust it directly at its head.
This time, the wind-type zombie couldn't dodge anymore. Its head was pierced by Zheng Lan's spear, its struggles gradually weakened, and then it died.
Zheng Lan pulled out the zombie's claws that were embedded in her chest, vomited a mouthful of blood, and collapsed to the ground.
With difficulty, he raised the terminal in his right hand and initiated a call request to Ning Chuxia, intending to say a final goodbye.
The other four girls were also surrounding Zheng Lan, blocking the other zombies while looking at Zheng Lan lying on the ground, feeling sorrow in their hearts.
When Ning Chuxia, who was at the shelter control center, answered Zheng Lan's call request, she saw Zheng Lan covered in wounds and with blood trickling from her mouth.
She almost broke down and cried her eyes out in front of Alice.
