Huang Zhao waved his hand and took out a level-four energy crystal, saying to the somewhat puzzled Wang Jiaobin:
"This is a level four energy crystal that has not yet been absorbed. Once a level three ability user absorbs enough energy to break through to level four..."
Although they were still some distance away from breaking through to level four, Huang Zhao still informed them of the method to break through to level four in advance.
Huang Zhao was not worried that anyone would surpass his ability level because of this, nor did he seek any reward.
Upon hearing Huang Zhao's message, Wang Jiaobin also stood up and thanked Huang Zhao:
"Thank you for letting me know!"
After obtaining the energy crystal of the mutated kapok tree, if nothing unexpected happens with the level 7 energy crystal in Shaoguan City...
His path to becoming a level 7 advanced ability user was already smooth sailing.
You can travel entirely on highways; there are no barriers whatsoever.
Informing the Southern Theater Command now would allow them to acquire a group of Level 4 ability users ahead of time.
It can be of great help in rescuing survivors and recapturing cities.
"Then I'll be leaving now. Goodbye!"
In the north of the city, Commander Zhang and his team, who were collecting energy crystals, were almost finished.
In total, nearly 400,000 level-0 energy crystals were harvested.
Most of the remaining zombies have been absorbed by the mutated kapok tree to break through their level.
"There are still nearly a million zombie corpses beneath the mutated plant, and some of the crystals have not yet been absorbed."
"If you have the manpower, you can try to dig it out and get the crystal."
"My companion has already gone to Commander Wang's place. See you next time!"
After a resounding victory, Commander Zhang's perception of Huang Zhao changed considerably.
"Young man, come back to the military region with me for a couple of drinks, and I'll speak to the commander to recommend you for a commendation!"
"Hehe, Commander Wang has already given the payment. Thank you for your kindness, Regiment Commander Zhang."
During their mental connection, Huang Zhao said to Xiang Yang:
"Mind control will have a backlash. I suggest you try to manipulate other creatures after you break through to level four."
After saying that, without waiting for the other party to say anything more, Huang Zhao directed Jin Gang to head towards Qing City.
Shortly after Jin Gang left, Xiang Yang and the others saw a giant cockroach flying in from the south.
At this point, they also realized that this was a level four mutated beast controlled by Huang Zhao, and some of them felt envious.
Although their military region's helicopters are still usable, they actually need to guard against attacks from various flying mutant beasts.
Many helicopters that intended to fly out of Guangzhou have been shot down by various flying mutated beasts.
Even the warplanes that were intended to go to other military bases and war zones disappeared without a trace after taking off for some unknown reason.
It's highly likely they encountered a flying mutant beast, and the pilot didn't survive to return and report the information.
Therefore, the military has lost the means of long-distance, rapid communication.
"I can solve this problem once I control a flying mutant beast."
"Xiao Yang, don't do anything reckless! The commander has explicitly forbidden you from using mind control!"
"Brother Chen said earlier that this situation would improve after breaking through to level four, so I will not try to control other creatures before that."
"Psychic abilities are truly terrifying, but the cost of using them is also considerable. I wonder how he managed to break through to level four so smoothly."
The two talked as they returned to the transport helicopter, which was fully loaded.
Huang Zhao was satisfied with what he gained from the trip.
It had gotten completely dark.
The streetlights, lacking maintenance, had long since stopped working, making the entire road pitch black and impossible to see anything.
About half an hour later, Huang Zhao arrived at the place where Alice and the others were being settled, a village on the outskirts of Qing City.
There were no survivors; the highest-ranking zombie among them was only level one.
Qin Yi easily dealt with it, clearing out a three-story building with a wall.
After letting Jin Gang and Da Qiang rest inside, Huang Zhao led Chen Run into the small building.
Take out portable light bulbs, tables, chairs, and food from the supernatural space.
After removing their helmets, the group sat in the hall and chatted with each other.
Huang Zhao also learned that his mother and Ning Chuxia's father had already turned into zombies at the beginning of the apocalypse.
They were then enveloped in a red mist, and all the survivors were brought to the stadium in a daze.
The mutated kapok tree began to cook and boil the zombies as requested, presumably in retaliation against humans for using its offspring in soup.
Most of the zombies within the red fog area were buried and turned into fertilizer by the large pits dug by the roots of the mutated kapok trees.
Huang Zhao felt a little sad, and the atmosphere was somewhat somber.
Finally, it was the father, Huang Yuanshan, who broke the silence and comforted him:
"Don't overthink it. It's already a miracle that you survived."
He had already learned most of what Huang Zhao had done in Dawn City from Qin Yi and Ning Chuxia.
Learning about her son's achievements filled her with pride.
As he spoke, Huang Yuanshan patted Huang Zhao's head and looked at Alice, saying:
Aren't you going to introduce it to me?
"You should have asked everything clearly, right, your daughter-in-law?"
As soon as Huang Zhao graduated from school, he was bombarded by his father asking when he was going to bring his girlfriend home.
He was the one who cared most about this matter, which left Huang Zhao feeling helpless.
Early romantic relationships are not allowed in high school; students should focus on their studies and get into a good university.
As a result, all I knew about school was studying hard and making progress every day, and I never even considered dating.
Even after entering university, academic studies remain the top priority.
Right after graduation, he immediately started complaining about when he was going to bring his girlfriend home.
Don't they know how their own child became a single dog?
Huang Zhao felt this deeply; if the apocalypse hadn't happened, he would never have met such an outstanding girl as Alice.
Alice pinched Huang Zhao under the table, a little shyly.
While waiting for Huang Zhao to return in the small building, everyone had already learned something about the situation.
After learning that this was Huang Zhao's father, he became somewhat reserved, worried that he might not perform well.
“Little Alice is very good. If Ah Zhao bullies you, tell me and I will deal with him.”
"No, no, Brother Huang Zhao is very good to me!"
After this interruption, Huang Zhao regained his composure and suppressed his grief.
He manipulated Huang Zhao to take out exquisite dishes from his special ability space and place them on the table.
The rising heat instantly filled every inch of the small building with fragrance.
"You haven't had a proper meal in a long time, have you?"
"These were all prepared by the hotel chef and stored away not long after they were made; they are no different from freshly made ones."
Everyone present was one of Huang Zhao's most important people, and they didn't stand on ceremony with each other, enjoying the food in this unfamiliar environment.
They were like a family, enjoying each other's company.
Only Huang Zhao knew how rare this scene was, and therefore cherished it all the more.
"From now on, these are the people I need to protect. I will lead them through this apocalypse and make their lives better than ever before!"
After dinner, Huang Zhao took out the tent again.
Besides the ones that can be used immediately, there are two that need to be rebuilt.
Ning Chuxia glared at Huang Zhao with a hint of resentment before leading her mother inside.
Nothing was said that night.
We can return to Dawn City tomorrow!
