"Huang Mao, what is your name?" The fat man wiped his nosebleed and asked his companion with dissatisfaction. That last shout nearly deafened him. 0
 
Huang Mao pointed ahead: "Look quickly, all the Zombies have been eliminated!" 0
 
"No way!" Everyone hurriedly looked forward and saw that the ground was covered with the corpses of Zombies, and there wasn't a single one left that could move. 0
 
"That's amazing!" Huang Mao voiced everyone's thoughts. 0
 
"Ah, the team is moving out." The Hunters excitedly followed the advance team. With such powerful weapons, what was there to worry about? They just needed to reach the commercial area to collect supplies! 0
 
"That's really impressive!" Bai Tang exclaimed. Although she could clearly see what was happening outside the North City using Divine Sense, she pretended to be like Sun Wukong making a shade with her hands. "I can already see a future where all the Zombies are gone thanks to humans." 0
 
"Impossible!" It was rare for Karen Adrian, usually quiet, to speak up. "As long as the Zombie Virus hasn't disappeared, humans still have a chance of turning into Zombies." 0
 
"But humans have antibodies now, right?" 0
 
"If the amount of virus exceeds the antibodies, they will turn into corpses!" Karen Adrian explained before returning to her usual silence. 0
 
Bai Tang rubbed her forehead. Although she used to admire the cold demeanor of someone like Yong Si Ye, having someone around who couldn't even say three words without being awkward made her feel overwhelmed. Unfortunately, she couldn't return him. 0
 
"We should get moving too; if we don't hurry, the Zombies in the city will be wiped out by the army." Bai Tang led Karen Adrian into the city from the north. She had no interest in collecting supplies; her main goal this time was to kill Zombies and gain experience. She was only twenty percent away from leveling up and wanted to fill her Experience Points during this operation. At her current level, the amount of Experience Points needed for leveling up was increasing significantly, almost like an ocean. If she didn't work hard to kill Zombies, when would she be able to break through this level of cultivation and become an immortal? According to the system, once she reached the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal, she would be able to break through space and travel freely to other worlds. She was eager to explore those fascinating worlds! 0
 
With their combined strength, killing Zombies was as easy as a giant bullying a dwarf. Bai Tang strolled leisurely down the street; when the Zombies caught a whiff of human flesh, they excitedly lunged at her. However, before they could even get within two hundred meters, their lives were snatched away by Bai Tang. All she did was walk while casting skills—simple skills—but because of her high level, their power was immense, easily one-shotting the Zombies. 0
 
Karen Adrian, on the other hand, had much more work to do. Although killing Zombies was easy, after defeating them, he still had to dig out their Crystal Cores. Extracting Crystal Cores was far more troublesome than killing Zombies, especially since Karen Adrian had to dig out both his share and Bai Tang's share. 0
 
While bending down to dig for a Crystal Core, Karen Adrian suddenly trembled as a powerful aura erupted from him, instantly crushing nearby Zombies into dust. 0
 
Did I level up? Karen Adrian froze mid-action, completely stunned. His martial arts had reached level twelve! He had only recently leveled up from eleven; under normal circumstances, it would take him another two years of training to level up again. The sudden upgrade left him bewildered. 0
 
"Don't just stand there; hurry up and dig for the Crystal Core!” Startled by Karen Adrian's sudden burst of power, Bai Tang quickly opened her system interface to check on his status and found that he had simply leveled up and calmed down. However, she couldn't help but think: This upgrade's commotion is too much! My upgrades are always quiet; why does this guy make such a big deal out of it? It makes me look less impressive than my own follower! 0
 
Coming back to his senses, Karen Adrian continued working diligently. 0
 
"Do you know why I leveled up?" 0
 
"Bai Tang" replied with an "ah": "It's just like playing an online game; we gain experience by killing Zombies, and the system converts that experience into our strength!" 0
 
 
Karen Adrian was shocked: "Does the system have this kind of function?" 0
 
Bai Tang: "Haven't you experienced it yourself?" 0
 
Karen Adrian: "Is the system created by deities?" 0
 
Bai Tang: "Do you believe in deities on your planet?" 0
 
Karen Adrian: "Every planet has its own deities. Of course, there are some primitive civilizations that worship advanced civilizations as gods. However, the beliefs on my planet are much deeper than those of advanced civilizations. The deities we believe in are definitely not those so-called advanced beings." 0
 
"Well, I believe the deities on Earth are not those advanced beings either," Bai Tang said, but doubts arose in his heart. Are those figures from legends really deities on Earth? The three-headed, six-armed figure of Nezha looks surprisingly similar to the Asna Alien within the Alliance, while Mogestar from the Empire has a third eye just like Yang Jian. 0
 
Bai Tang and Karen Adrian swept through the entire South District, and when O Haosheng entered with a team, they found not a single living Zombie. This incident became one of the most bizarre mysteries in the capital. 0
 
"Master!" Yi Qian looked at Bai Tang with teary eyes. The image of this tearful child in his smart military uniform appeared incredibly contradictory. This boy had performed excellently in the battle to reclaim the capital and had been promoted to the rank of major. In front of others, he presented himself as an elite capable individual, but upon seeing Bai Tang, he reverted to being a big child who relied on him. 0
 
"Fool!" Bai Tang patted the boy's head. "You're already a Leader, why are you still crying? It would be bad if your subordinates see you!" 0
 
The boy wiped his tears: "So what if they see? I'm not afraid of them!" 0
 
"You fool, if you're not afraid of Master, then what about them? I'm afraid I took on a child who can't grow up as my disciple!" 0
 
"Master—" The boy pouted in grievance. 0
 
"Alright, stop crying. I'm just going back to S Province to handle some matters; it's not like I'm not coming back." 0
 
"But Master, you just returned less than half a month ago! I haven't even had a proper time with you before you leave again!" The boy was very sad; after Bai Tang returned to Beijing Base, he had spent less than half the time with her, which made him feel heartbroken. 0
 
"Okay, okay, I promise you that after I return from S Province, I'll spend time with you. Is that alright?" Bai Tang comforted the boy and planned to share some cultivation experiences after foundation building. 0
 
Although the boy was reluctant, he ultimately agreed and accompanied Tian Yuan and Zhu Xu to send them off from Kyoto. Now that Kyoto had been reclaimed by humanity, except for research institutes and some military forces, all other government departments, military personnel, and ordinary citizens had returned to Kyoto and were actively engaged in reconstruction work. The damage within Kyoto was not severe; a simple restoration would allow people to move back in. Unfortunately, the once bustling metropolis was now desolate, with even ordinary houses not fully occupied. In the future, people would no longer have to worry about overcrowded housing. 0
 
…… 0
 
At the Provincial Capital Base, everyone faced a critical moment: a Zombie Siege! Hundreds of thousands of Zombies gathered outside Beijing Base, all staring with green eyes at the delicious food behind the high walls. They had only one thought: rush in; if they could get inside, they could feast on that incredibly tasty food. 0
 
Humans held their ground behind the high walls, fully aware that if they couldn't defend the city gates and let the Zombies breach the base, humanity would face catastrophic disaster. Abilities and ammunition were continuously unleashed upon the Zombies, turning many into ash while others lost limbs; yet they felt no pain and crawled toward the city walls. The artillery fire grew denser but could not halt the advance of the Zombies. Those behind continued to form neat lines and pressed closer. The ammunition ran out; less than one-tenth of the Zombies were eliminated. Ability Users stepped up but still couldn't stop their advance. Some exhausted their abilities without timely rescue and perished at the hands of the Zombies. Casualties mounted, despair gradually enveloping everyone's hearts at the base—were they all going to die today? 0
 
 
After Bai Tang and Karen Adrian left the base, they drove towards S Province Base. The reason they didn't use skills like Swift Travel was that Bai Tang was carrying two thousand Energy Guns entrusted to her by O Haosheng. The Energy Guns had played a significant role in the battle to reclaim the capital, and the Base Leader was naturally reluctant to part with such treasures. However, there were more bases in Huaxia than just the capital, and as central authorities, they had to consider other bases as well. Thus, they reluctantly allocated five thousand Energy Guns to other bases. Fortunately, the Factory had already produced Energy Guns capable of firing five hundred energy beams, although the production efficiency was quite low. Additionally, Bai Tang assured the high-ranking officials of the base that they would continue purchasing weapons from aliens, committing to at least ten thousand Energy Guns and five Mechas for each large base. This way, the leaders of the bases felt a bit relieved. 0
 
Bai Tang traveled south and nearly distributed all two thousand Energy Guns—ten for small bases, fifty for medium bases, and two hundred for large bases. Although the numbers were not large, they gave hope to those at the bases; with these powerful weapons, their own bases would have some assurance. Moreover, those who delivered the guns promised that more weapons would be sent one after another. Therefore, following the central authority's decision was indeed correct; those who wanted to establish themselves as kings during the apocalypse ended up with not a single gun. 0
 
"Something feels off!" Karen Adrian suddenly spoke. 0
 
"What feels off?" Bai Tang asked in confusion. 0
 
Karen Adrian replied, "Since we entered S Province, the number of Zombies we've encountered has been decreasing; it seems like they're moving in a certain direction!" 0
 
Bai Tang's heart sank: "Not good, Zombie Siege!" 0
 
"We need to hurry to S Province Base!" Bai Tang immediately ordered Karen Adrian to stop the car, quickly got out, stored it in her backpack, and activated her Swift Travel skill. In the next moment, the two appeared in a room five kilometers outside S Province Base. 0
 
"It really is a Zombie Siege!" Looking out of the window, Bai Tang saw a dense crowd of Zombies. 0
