Chapter 620: Chapter 620: Man-Made Zombies

The day after the Heart Talk Team returned, Liang Jiuhui had Song Sibo deliver the task crystal nucleus and expressed his wish for Su Jin and Lu Hao to visit him when they were free.

“It’s not another task, is it?”

After Song Sibo left, Su Xiangzhe asked, not eager to see Su Jin head out again so soon after returning.

“It shouldn’t be; he probably wants to find out about the route we took and the situation at the several bases along the way. I can go by myself,” Su Jin replied.

Since the other party mentioned visiting when they were free, Lu Hao believed that it shouldn’t be related to any task.

“Oh, and when you go, take this with you.”

Su Jin took out the soilless cultivation precautions given to her by Wen Xiaoling from the base in City N. Now, with the temperature rising, it might be a good time to start using them.

She planned to prepare another copy for Xing Taian to take back, ideally to the base in City F, of course promoting it on behalf of the base in City N as a gesture of gratitude to Wen Xiaoling.

Although they had been in the base in City F before, Su Jin and Lu Hao hadn’t really shown themselves, so they did not share those materials. If they could indeed help more people with it, that was something Su Jin would be pleased to see.

With the food situation only growing more grim by the day, she sometimes felt as if the Wood Spirit Space existed solely for the Apocalypse. If they hadn’t sold so many grains and materials, the S City base certainly wouldn’t be as it is now, not to mention wondering about the situation in City A and City D.

After resting in the base for a while, she planned to travel with her family to City A and City D. Of course, this was something she had already discussed with her family. During the journey, Su Jin planned to stay inside the Space, and upon reaching their destination, her responsibility would only be to take out the supplies.

All these plans were contingent on her pregnancy reaching three months, so currently the whole family was in a phase of staying home on leave with her.

Lu Hao went to find Xing Taining after lunch, having heard that the two brothers were heading to the base in City F. Thus, he informed them in advance about the dangers they had encountered on the road.

“Ningchuan County is impassable now? But it was fine when we came through,” the surprised Xing Taian and others said. If they were to detour Ningchuan County as Lu Hao suggested, it might mean another full day’s journey.

“The area has turned into a lake, and there are zombies and various zombie aquatic creatures inside. I advise against going that way,” Lu Hao explained.

Xing Taian nodded, appreciative of the information Lu Hao brought. When comparing time and safety, he would always choose safety for everyone.

“This soilless cultivation is impressive. Old Man Li and the rest will definitely be delighted,” said Yan Gang, flipping through the copied tutorial.

“This contribution comes from the N City base. Su Jin hopes it can help more people,” Lu Hao said after delivering the message and left. It was lucky he had come at the right moment; the two brothers were planning to set out the next day, and according to their previous route, they were planning to go through Ningchuan County, which had turned into a lake.

…

Just as Lu Hao predicted, Liang Jiuhui intended to learn about their journey and the situation in City B.

When he found out that Lu Hao and his companions had also forcefully made their way out of City B, Liang Jiuhui couldn’t help but become angry.

The Han Family of City B had gone too far! He had kindly treated them with respect and had the Heart Talk Team escort them back, yet this was how they treated his Heart Talk Team.

“Good for you for breaking through. Don’t worry, I will make sure they are held accountable for this,” Liang Jiuhui said.

“That’s not an issue. They have probably already held us accountable,” Lu Hao remarked.

Lu Hao relayed to Liang Jiuhui all that happened on the road, including the current situation at the N City Base and the F City Base.

“So that means F City originally submitted to the Han Family, and now it has gained independence?”

Liang Jiuhui burst into laughter upon hearing this. Indeed, things always tend to go to extremes before reversing.

“Yes, we should be staying inside the base for some time. Here’s some material from Su Jin that I was entrusted to deliver to the base, hoping it can be useful,”

Lu Hao handed over the hydroponics material. Their Heart Talk Team wouldn’t need it, but the other survivors might find it useful.

“What’s this?”

Gardening?

Liang Jiuhui flipped through the thin two pages, densely filled with writing and even some illustrations, which made it very easy for anyone to understand at a glance.

“These are the images of their harvest. It seems like every household in the N City Base is using this method now,”

Lu Hao took out the photos, which showed vibrant green bean sprouts and mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms on a small balcony area, brimming with life.

“This is so useful, so useful. I’ll show it to my dad and Yingjie when I get back; they’ll definitely be excited,”

It goes without saying that the flow of information between bases is quite helpful.

As Lu Hao passed the photos and the two pages to him, Liang Jiuhui treasured them like priceless commodities, feeling that the Heart Talk Team, aside from performing missions, also acted as an “ambassador of exchange,” bringing back something so useful.

From the N City Base, huh? Although he didn’t know the Base Leader of the N City Base, he was already considering writing down S City Base’s cabbage cultivation methods and sharing them with N City Base.

Helping each other among bases is the right path!

“Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way,”

Lu Hao stood up, intending to go home to keep Su Jin company.

“No, no, no, there’s one more thing. I have a video over here. Can you help take a look? Maybe you guys, with your wide experience, will have some ideas,”

Liang Jiuhui quickly stopped Lu Hao. Whenever he encountered something puzzling, the Heart Talk Team seemed to always help him find the right direction.

This time was no exception. Lu Hao hadn’t finished watching the video before he understood. The degree of shaking in the video made it clear it was shot by an unmanned drone; it showed several Multi-Element Zombies gathered together, around five or six of them, and each one was a Dual-Element or even a Three-Series Zombie.

These zombies seemed very agitated, continuously unleashing their Special Abilities around them, making themselves noticed by Liang Jiuhui and his team through drone footage.

“Lian Ze should know more about this,”

Lu Hao tapped his fingers on the tabletop, wondering whether Lian Ze would be excited or have some other reaction upon seeing these zombies.

“What do you mean?”

Liang Jiuhui didn’t understand.

“These Multi-Element Zombies are artificially made, most likely produced by the research institute in E City. Their heads have been artificially implanted with Zombie Crystal Nuclei of different elements, and their eyes have surveillance devices, but… they were released in S City.”

Lu Hao looked at Liang Jiuhui, who would surely comprehend his implication.

He then described the characteristics of the Three-Series Zombie they encountered near the E City Base to Liang Jiuhui. These zombies were also clad in the same type of clothing, and although it was filthy, he could still make it out.
