Bai Shu's flying squirrel had activated short-term flight and jumping abilities, which, combined with his previous eye evolution, made him very suitable for assassinating enemies.

He inherited an [Berserk] ability that could enhance his body to a certain degree when facing enemies, but it couldn't be maintained for too long.

This was a skill of the flying squirrel with the Mutation Core. The headquarters spent a lot of time trying to kill it, and in the end, it used [Berserk]. The cost was consuming its own energy, but it became incredibly strong when berserk.

One swipe of its claws could leave a bone-deep wound in an ability user's waist.

In the end, it was still subdued.

Professor Ji suggested that Bai Shu should try to activate this skill when he had the chance, but to be mindful of the timing. As long as he could defeat the enemy within the berserk duration, there would be no problem.

Wang Weihu activated his earth-based ability. The owner of his Mutation Core, that Northeastern tiger, had crushed many people and zombies to death with condensed earth balls. It also liked to chase people with earth balls, scaring them half to death before crushing and eating them.

Mutated animals had no rationality, only the instinct to devour.

Although this move was quite disgusting.

Professor Ji thought it would be good if Wang Weihu could inherit it, or perhaps modify it to create earth walls or earth spikes. It was up to him to explore.

In summary, their team's overall level had improved, and the rest depended on their own exploration. If headquarters had the capacity, they would also arrange teachers for them.

"It feels so magical! In just over a month, the world has changed so much," Chen Xiaofei said with a smile.

Wang Weihu nodded, "It's like a dream. The Earth is gradually becoming unlike Earth."

Bai Shu calmly pushed up his glasses and said, "The Earth is still the Earth, whether it's the Cambrian period, the Ice Age, the modern era, or now in the apocalypse. What's changing is our living environment."

What they needed to do was to adapt, as did all of humanity.

But fortunately.

Humans are creatures with extremely strong adaptability and creativity.

When the apocalypse came, they built fortresses.

Rescued companions.

Strived to let everyone live a "normal" life as much as possible, even though "normal" people weren't so normal anymore.

They couldn't help but laugh.

Qin Luo didn't care, saying nonchalantly, "Live one day at a time. Whatever the world is like, strength is the most important tool for survival!"

The others all agreed.

"We can all level up, let's teach the little squad leader later, see if we can help her learn how to use abilities too."

"Teach her ourselves? Can we do that?"

"Otherwise, do you think her ability is suitable to be exposed? What if it's discovered? There are always some pests in the headquarters. What if she gets taken away for monitoring?"

"That definitely can't happen!"

Qin Luo decided immediately, "We'll teach her ourselves! Who can't learn by analogy?"

Bai Shu also said he would help research information, striving to ensure the little squad leader's safety!

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

Chen Xiaofei didn't know where he could be useful, so he said, "Then I'll buy Mutation Cores for the little squad leader. Without her, there's no good food. I'm still counting on her to get me tasty treats. The little squad leader needs to live well too!"

Wang Weihu scratched his head, his tiger ears twitching, "I'll do the same as Xiaofei."

His favorite cigarettes and alcohol were all in the little squad leader's space. If they were in his own storage card, they'd probably have been confiscated by the higher-ups long ago.

They still needed the little squad leader to be well.

They really trusted her, not worried at all about her running away or dying.

If that happened, their things would really be gone.

The little zombie watched as the four of them whispered, quietly discussing strategies.

The corpse felt warm.

Xu Duoduo suddenly remembered something.

Ever since her adoptive grandparents passed away, she had been all alone.

Actually, her three years in middle school were her most relaxed and happiest period, also the most carefree three years. She only needed to focus on studying, somehow became the class monitor, and was loved by everyone. Everyone was very kind to her.

In high school, her grandfather started getting sick. She was busy with school and helping her grandmother take care of her grandfather. At first, her grandmother didn't want her to worry, telling her to study well, but later when her grandfather passed away, her grandmother also fell ill.

Their savings were depleted.

Xu Duoduo started working part-time while attending university, and eventually, her grandmother also passed away.

In the end, that area was developed, and she was forced to move from that small home, then moved to a new house in K City. But not long after, the apocalypse began.

After her grandparents were gone, she had always been very lonely. She rarely had extremely close friends, only occasionally keeping in touch with a few college roommates.

This feeling of living together, doing missions together, being bound together almost all the time was very novel. Their small team was a whole.

Xu Duoduo felt very secure following them. Although things were a bit chaotic when they first met, everyone was very nice. Indeed, people who were originally good remained good even after so many years. She felt very lucky.

"Little squad leader? Little squad leader? Let's go, the weather's not good, a typhoon is coming."

"Xu Duoduo? Are you daydreaming?"

The little zombie's rare moment of clarity was suddenly interrupted. She let out an "Awo?" What was she just thinking about? She couldn't remember.

What was it?

She got stuck.

Seeing her suddenly freeze, Qin Luo couldn't help but laugh. He turned around as usual, scooped her up under his arm and started walking, "How did you suddenly space out?"

Chen Xiaofei also laughed, "Why does the little squad leader look so puffed up?"

The little zombie was indeed angry!

Because she forgot something, and it was all their fault! This feeling of thinking of something halfway and then not being able to remember what you were just thinking about was too awful!

The little zombie couldn't describe it.

She could only puff up angrily, struggling with a "hmph", but was locked in place by Qin Luo. "Shh, don't move around. See those plastic bags flying up there? If we delay a bit more, all five of us will be meeting in the sky."

The little zombie was stunned and hadn't responded yet when Chen Xiaofei foolishly asked, "Huh? Why?"

Bai Shu said helplessly, "Because when the typhoon comes later, it could blow us up into the sky."

Wang Weihu suddenly burst out laughing, though it wasn't clear what exactly he found funny.

Chen Xiaofei: ...

They got on the subway, then quickly exited the station. The sky had already visibly darkened, giving a feeling that the heavens were about to collapse. The wind started howling, so they needed to walk quickly.

Fortunately, the subway exit was very close to the community entrance. They successfully entered the building just as the rain started to fall. Suddenly, the lights flickered, and the power went out, replaced by dim emergency lights. The base had started cutting power!

The broadcast also began to sound, and alarms went off throughout the entire base.

"Super Typhoon Baolong is approaching. Please do not linger outdoors. Please do not stay outdoors."

"Due to the super typhoon, the jammers on the city walls may be affected. Uncertainties are increasing, and there may be attacks by mutated birds or insects at any time. Please close your doors and windows and remain quiet, ordinary citizens."

"All combat teams, be prepared for rescue at any time. For specific rescue areas assigned, please check your email notifications."

Upon hearing this, Qin Luo said, "Oh boy, no sleep tonight. Everyone be careful!"

Bai Shu and the other two nodded.

Xu Duoduo also picked up her wooden whistle and blew it once. This time, they were fighting a defensive battle.

Defending home!
