As his voice fell, he saw a white light shoot out from Fang Yuxin’s wrist. Right after that, the transformed Lan Re began to gorge herself.
Lan Re was a mutated Crystal Orchid, a kind of saprophytic plant - zombies were food to it. After extracting the Crystal Core from a zombie’s brain, the body was of little use to humans, and they mostly just burnt it. However, these remains were a great supplement for Lan Re.
Zombies’ bodies also contained Energy, but humans simply could not absorb or utilize it. Lan Re could, so in its view, it was better to devour the zombies rather than burn them.
Bai Ye’s face stiffened, but he didn’t stop Lan Re from eating. Lan Re was Fang Yuxin’s Spiritual Pet, and of course, he saw it in a different light. Plus, these zombies were useless to him, so there was no harm in letting Lan Re eat them.
Since he had no objections, Chen Si and the rest were even less likely to object. They were quickly digging out Crystal Cores while also sneakily watching Fang Yuxin’s movements. Seeing her drawing on the vehicle, they all started to think some thoughts.
But they still couldn’t completely trust Fang Yuxin, so even though they knew what she was doing had a purpose, they couldn’t bring themselves to hand over their vehicles for her to handle.
On the other hand, Bai Ye, seeing what Fang Yuxin was up to, guessed what she was doing. He hesitated for a moment, then, thinking that Chen Si and the others didn’t need his help, simply went over to the vehicle, put his hands gently on it, and concentrated a layer of metal to further fortify the body.
Thanks to Bai Ye’s presence, their vehicle looked very new, unlike others’ which were tattered and covered in scratches from zombie claws.
Even the Yongcheng Team’s vehicles had various scratches, but the severity wasn’t great since they were strong.
Fang Yuxin quickly finished drawing the Defensive Array. Its main function was to reinforce the vehicle body while reflecting any attacks it received. It was completely different from the Defensive Array at home, much simpler and easier to set up.
The Yongcheng Team had three vehicles in total, two of which were black SUVs, and the remaining one was a heavy motorcycle ridden by Fang Yuyang. Ever since that raptor appeared, Fang Yuxin was concerned that more dangerous birds would show up, and riding a motorcycle would no longer be safe for Fang Yuyang.
Because others were present, she let Shang Jinxiu store Fang Yuyang’s motorcycle in the space. By then, Bai Ye and the others had finished, the only one still busy was Lan Re, who had released all her clones to eat frantically along with her main body.
Fang Yuxin waited for a while, and soon Lan Re had finished eating, leaving only black skeletons on the ground. Qu Qianhe then released a fire that turned the skeletons to ashes.
Moreover, the zombies only surrounded the Safe Zone without swarming it outright, which was suspicious in itself.
It was a pity they had already broken out of the encirclement and were beyond the range of their radios, so they couldn’t contact anyone in the Safe Zone anymore.
Fang Yuxin thought about it and shook her head, thinking it was enough. Everyone had their destiny; she had written down all she could think of. General Song wasn’t a fool; he could think of everything she could, and probably even more than that.
She really had nothing to worry about.
Once they got out of the encirclement, there were fewer zombies outside, but relatively speaking, all the survivors now were inside the Safe Zone or within a certain range outside it, and there was nobody in the exterior. Suddenly appearing, Fang Yuxin and her group were like delicious food delivered to the starving zombies - how could they let them go?
So, it wasn’t long before the zombies lingering outside the encirclement began to surround them.
Their numbers were limited, and before they could form a large Zombie Group, they were decimated by the group. (To be continued.
