Gasoline for motorbike use, precious tals naturally to exchange for money.
"No problem at all!" Zheng Yichen’s request was readily agreed upon by Liu Haipeng, who even stated that they would assist Zheng Yichen in accomplishing this task.
As for the opinions of the transmigrators? This makeshift ’small city’ made from a vast array of scattered buildings wasn’t theirs, and if they weren’t theirs and wanted to have a say, it was simple—speak with strength.
Other hidden mbers of the team also ca out, and once they confird the situation of this ’small city,’ they began to move about freely.
anwhile, Liu Haipeng approached the Alien Phenonon creature. He took out his knife and slashed at the creature’s skin. Even though the skin had dried out, the feedback from the knife on its surface was still tough.
This monster’s skin, when intact, probably couldn’t even be pierced by bullets.
Yet now, it had been reduced to food. Liu Haipeng looked at the at on the grill, took the initiative to go over and try so. The grill was large enough for anyone who wanted at to help themselves. But after he ntioned the virus, the transmigrators no longer felt inclined to touch the roasted at.
Liu Haipeng wasn’t too worried, as after eating a couple of bites of the at, he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, "The at is too tough."
"Hahaha, when this thing was demolishing buildings, it was like tearing through foam; how could the at be tender." Zheng Yichen laughed, pointing towards sowhere not too far away. Liu Haipeng’s mouth twitched involuntarily as he also saw the signs of battle not far away, including a very distinct crater blasted into the ground.
That place was originally supposed to run through the entire Alien Phenonon Remnant Zone, but the destroyed ground was now blocked with many scattered buildings. He even saw so animal and human corpses...
These creatures, when caught up in the event, clearly weren’t as lucky as the female office workers and the others.
"But this at should be quite nutritious, and making it into jerky could last a long ti," Liu Haipeng said, giving another glance at the section of the Alien Phenonon creature that had been roasted.
Only one-fifth of the Alien Phenonon creature had been cooked. Once processed, this at could make them extrely well-off this winter, possibly even to the point of growing tired of eating at.
"My goal is the Alien Phenonon." Seeing Liu Haipeng’s hesitant expression, Zheng Yichen, while gnawing on thoroughly roasted at, said, no need to beat around the bush when it cos to identity; the need for secrecy cos from a lack of strength.
A light bulb went off in Liu Haipeng’s head, "Does the Alien Phenonon have anything to do with the apocalypse?"
"I’m not sure, I’m just here to resolve the Alien Phenonon."
Whether Alien Phenonon creatures were related to the apocalypse, Zheng Yichen really couldn’t be certain, mainly because the moving Alien Phenonon was more special than a normal one. During the battle with the behemoth, Zheng Yichen had covered a lot of ground but hadn’t found a ’core’ that could be traversed.
The internal distortion of the Alien Phenonon could bring many things over. It seed that the moving Alien Phenonon was one-way overlaying, and the Alien Phenonon creatures didn’t need to be related to the apocalypse, as long as no one knew the secret of the moving Alien Phenonon.
When the ti ca, just as the nun said, the moving Alien Phenonon would completely tear through this world’s ’crystal barrier,’ forcibly integrating this world into another one.
"How many such Alien Phenona are left?" Liu Haipeng asked, sowhat curiously.
"There are five left now."
"That many?? What will these Alien Phenona bring to this world? Cough, cough, if this question involves so secrets, just pretend I didn’t ask," realizing he was being a bit presumptuous, Liu Haipeng quickly added.
"There’s nothing much to hide; not all Alien Phenona are bad... Well, this is a bit difficult to explain, so I won’t go into it," Zheng Yichen said, suddenly stopping as a realization hit him.
If the Alien Phenonon could appear in any world, then aren’t there many worlds like this one facing apocalypse? Not all zombies in those worlds might evolve, or even after evolving, they could still be virus-laden corpses.
If such creatures happened to pass through an Alien Phenonon into another world, what would happen? Would the apocalypse spread?
He took out his phone to check the map, which showed the closest Alien Phenonon about 120 kiloters away—reasonably close.
After reaching that place, the nearest next Alien Phenonon was nearly 300 kiloters away; he thought he could manage to return to the Dusk Cathedral once more.
"This map still works??" Liu Haipeng looked at Zheng Yichen’s phone in surprise. The mobile phone signal had been destroyed more than twenty years ago.
Map apps could only be used offline, but after so many years, phones were essentially useless. However, they could find many new phones in this Alien Phenonon Remnant Zone!
"Just a map that hasn’t been updated in a long ti. Do you know if there’s anything nearby?" Zheng Yichen showed his phone to Liu Haipeng.
The middle-aged man was almost moved to tears as he took the phone: "I haven’t touched a working phone in so long, let see..."
```
Liu Haipeng looked at the map on his phone, where the nas of so cities that he could see gradually clarified his diminished mories; those were cities intact just thirty years ago, now either occupied by Zombie Evolvers or by other people.
"There’s probably a human settlent in this area, larger than where I am. We occasionally go there to trade," Liu Haipeng pointed at a location on the map, about thirty kiloters from the Alien Phenonon zone Zheng Yichen had to go to.
"What about those Zombie Evolvers you ntioned?"
Liu Haipeng pointed at a city on the map: "I only know that this place is occupied by Zombie Evolvers. We learned this while trading with another settlent, but never confird its authenticity."
Nor did they have any intention to verify it; only when they had managed to assemble a fully-ard convoy would they consider trading in other places, and even then, the trades were hurried affairs: in and out as quickly as possible.
The main trade goods were resources such as gasoline.
Zheng Yichen took note of the location Liu Haipeng had pointed out. As he wanted to learn more, cries of alarm sounded from the distance.
Liu Haipeng instantly grabbed his weapon and ran over, while Zheng Yichen quickly finished off the grilled at in his hand, rubbing his stomach, suspecting that the feedback from the Alien Phenonon creature had enhanced his digestive abilities.
He had eaten quite a bit and still didn’t feel full.
"So fast..." Watching the figure easily pass by him, Liu Haipeng felt even more certain about the credibility of Zheng Yichen’s earlier statents.
As for Zheng Yichen’s purpose in dealing with the Alien Phenonon, Liu Haipeng hadn’t said, but he had already imagined plenty, like future warrior or ti-space warrior.
Arriving at the source of the screams, Zheng Yichen saw bloodstains on the ground and two "transmigrators" paralyzed with fear on the ground beside them.
Not far away, two post-apocalyptic natives held guns, vigilantly watching their surroundings.
"What happened?" Liu Haipeng asked as he caught up.
"Captain, it’s Zombie Evolvers," one of the team mbers said.
Liu Haipeng’s eyes narrowed slightly. When both sides, each in human form, ca to see each other as food, it ant they could no longer coexist: "How many are there?"
"About six. They appeared so suddenly that we didn’t get a good look... Sorry, we were careless." The team mber said with so sha, the abundance of resources here having caused them to forget that this was not the safe environnt of a settlent.
"It’s not your fault. Those Zombie Evolvers might have been attracted by the Alien Phenonon," Liu Haipeng interrupted the team mber’s analysis.
The Alien Phenonon was so vast that it could be seen clearly from a great distance, naturally drawing so Zombie Evolvers. Even the least advanced of these evolved zombies had surpassed the intelligence of the cleverest animals.
"Gather everyone up!" Liu Haipeng imdiately instructed his team mbers and then, to Zheng Yichen’s slightly astonished gaze, took out a horn and blew into it.
Zheng Yichen blinked, and his field of vision beca sowhat dim. This dimness did not affect his sight or his ability to distinguish details. In this overall dim view, the heat sources emitted by life forms beca extrely apparent.
The body temperature of the Zombie Evolvers was slightly higher, and through weak thermal vision, he saw the crawling figures hidden in the rubble becoming restless. Without any hesitation, he locked onto the positions of the Zombie Evolvers and charged towards them.
The fishing rod in his hand extended as he swung it, piercing through the wall and picking up a Zombie Evolver hidden behind it. After Zheng Yichen kicked again, the damaged wall completely collapsed.
The skewered Zombie Evolver was now exposed before Zheng Yichen, with grubby limbs, abnormally slate-gray skin, and dark red blood oozing from its wound. The whites of its eyes were a pale red. Despite being impaled through the chest, this Zombie Evolver still maintained incredible strength.
Clinging tightly to the fishing rod it was impaled on, just as it was about to make a move, its head was pierced by a bullet.
"Aim for its head... uh." Liu Haipeng, who spoke a mont too late, paused and went over to the two transmigrators paralyzed on the ground, warily watching the surroundings.
Zheng Yichen holstered his handgun, quickly scanning the vicinity. With one of their own taken down, the remaining Zombie Evolvers grew visibly more agitated, and there weren’t just six—there were ten—now nine.
With exceptional speed, he moved to another location. The hiding Zombie Evolver had no ti to counter before its head was pierced by the fishing rod. Zheng Yichen didn’t even glance at this Zombie Evolver; after flinging it aside, he pursued the next target.
The rest of the zombies, knowing they could no longer hide, rushed out from their hiding places, intent on taking down Zheng Yichen first. However, the first two zombies to erge were knocked down by a barrage of gunfire, as Liu Haipeng and his team mbers were very experienced in dealing with such creatures.
Bang—a sudden gunshot sounded. Liu Haipeng’s eyes widened as he gazed at Zheng Yichen’s hand, which was holding sothing. He had seen others use weapons to deflect bullets, but Zheng Yichen had caught a bullet by grasping it!
