91: Chapter 91 We'll kiss again when we get back tonight

Currently, there are only four Fire Ability Users in the Dawn Squad: Zhou Ke, Ma Yang, Song Qiang, and Su Chenyu. It would be fine to decide the winner by rock-paper-scissors when we get back.

Xu Wanning stretched her fingers. "Tell everyone to come out and continue clearing out the zombies. For those whose houses were destroyed, have them move to vacant apartments in other buildings."

"Yes!" Everyone sprang into action. With Lu Zhiyu's support, Xu Wanning went downstairs to soak in the sun.

Sounds of battle could be heard from Building 5 next door from time to time. It seems the zombies are evolving much faster than in her previous life. Could her appearance have changed their progression?

They need to hurry up and level up. The crystal nucleus everyone absorbed on the way back yesterday have been depleted, so they can absorb more now.

Xu Wanning held a crystal nucleus and absorbed it downstairs, while Lu Zhiyu sat nearby and did the same. The crystal nucleus had been distributed evenly on the car yesterday; it was up to them when to absorb them.

It only took 10 minutes to absorb all 10 crystal nucleus. She didn't know when they would be fully converted by the body.

The feeling of overexertion disappeared; as long as it didn't hurt, it was fine.

Half an hour later, Lu Chengyue led his team out of Building 5. He paused when he saw her outside. "Are you hurt?"

Xu Wanning nodded. "Mm, wuwu, it hurts so much." She pretended to cry and threw herself into Lu Chengyue's arms.

Lu Chengyue looked at his sister. "Are there many zombies?"

Lu Zhiyu shook her head. "We encountered an E-rank zombie. We took turns wearing it down before we finally killed it. Ningning fought the longest and exhausted all her Supernatural ability."

Lu Chengyue touched her face with heartache. "Do you want to go back?" The mission had no time limit; if they couldn't finish today, they could continue tomorrow.

Xu Wanning shook her head. "No need, just resting for a while is enough. You guys continue. We must clear out the zombies quickly. It's only the second day of The Apocalypse, and there's already an E-rank zombie. Something is wrong. I'm afraid there will be more and more E-rank zombies later, so we must clear them out in advance."

"Alright, then let Xiao Yu stay here with you. We will continue clearing them out." Lu Chengyue really wanted to stay with her, but as the captain, he couldn't neglect his teammates.

"Go ahead, kiss me again when we get back tonight." Xu Wanning whispered into Lu Chengyue's ear.

Lu Chengyue pinched her cheek. "I'm leaving."

He led the team to start clearing from Building 1. Half an hour later, Zhou Ke and the others finished clearing Building 6 and came down. Hou Qian, Bai Jian, and Wen Chuan were also there, along with six survivors around their age.

Jiang Heng came over and explained, "Sister Ning, they want to go to the base to register a survivor squad and do missions together."

"Are they Ability Users?" It was normal to have Ability Users. Fewer people died in this Apocalypse, so there were definitely more Ability Users than before. On average, there should be at least two Ability Users in each building.

"There are two Ability Users. They went to the same high school as us." Jiang Heng hesitated for a moment. "Sister Ning, can we let them join the Dawn Squad?"

"Of course." A squad can have up to 50 people. There are only 27 currently, so adding more is fine.

"That's great." Jiang Heng looked at them. "Hurry up and call her Sister Ning."

"Sister Ning!" The six 17- or 18-year-old boys shouted in unison.

"Mm. Are your families staying here or moving to the Central District to rent a place?" Squad members get assigned dorms, but families aren't covered. They can rent; rent ranges from 1,000 to 3,000 points per month, depending on the type of house chosen.

"Only we are going. We'll go home once a week," the tallest boy replied.

"Fine." Xu Wanning brought out a box of cold weapons. "Choose one and follow Jiang Heng and the others to do missions. Get used to it first. Two meals are provided. Tomorrow you will officially start doing missions, and you'll have to handle your own food and lodging."

"Yes!" Several of them happily went over to pick the weapons they liked and followed Jiang Heng to continue clearing out zombies.

Xu Wanning sat for a while longer. Feeling her energy restored, she took Lu Zhiyu to continue clearing out zombies.

They had many people now, so it was a bit crowded to enter one unit. They dispersed, averaging eight people per group, with Ability Users and ordinary people mixed together.

The zombies in the other buildings weren't hard to clear; they were all ordinary zombies. It just took a bit more time, and no one was injured.

After this residential area was cleared and the stamp was obtained, everyone got back on the vehicle and headed to the next residential area.

Xu Wanning sat next to Lu Chengyue and turned to look at everyone. "We encountered an E-rank zombie today, which means zombies are evolving faster than we thought. Everyone, hurry up and absorb the crystal nucleus."

"Currently, there aren't enough E-rank crystal nucleus. We need to absorb a large number of F-rank crystal nucleus to level up. The speed will be slow, so don't fall behind."

"Yes!" Everyone immediately started absorbing the crystal nucleus. A total of 8,230 crystal nucleus were harvested from this residential area and distributed immediately.

Xu Wanning took out that E-rank Fire Ability crystal nucleus. "Su Chenyu, Zhou Ke, Ma Yang, Song Qiang, the four of you play rock-paper-scissors. Whoever wins gets to absorb this crystal nucleus directly and can immediately become an E-rank Fire Ability user."

The four were just about to absorb their crystal nucleus, but upon hearing this, their eyes lit up. "Really?"

Xu Yu looked at them with envy. "Of course it's true. Would my sister lie to you?"

The four immediately played rock-paper-scissors, and in the end, Song Qiang won.

He opened his hands to receive the crystal nucleus, closed his eyes, and began to absorb it. Before long, the crystal nucleus disappeared into his palm.

Everyone stared at him intently. "How is it? Did you break through?"

Song Qiang shook his head blankly. "No."

Xu Wanning laughed. "The body needs time to absorb it. You should be able to break through tomorrow or the day after."

Song Qiang felt happy; he had been very afraid that he wouldn't break through and would have wasted the crystal nucleus.

Everyone went back to absorbing crystal nucleus. Everyone wanted to level up; it was similar to reading cultivation novels before, as everyone wanted to become the strongest one.

The vehicle slowly stopped at the entrance of the next residential area. Everyone lined up to get off and walked towards the guard room.

They originally thought the soldiers here were also fine, but when they looked through the glass window and saw the zombies swaying inside, everyone couldn't help but feel a bit sad.

"They've mutated." Lu Zhiyu looked away, unable to bear it.

"His family must still be waiting for him to return for a reunion." Wen Shuyang's nose felt sore. As soldiers, they had too many helpless situations.

"Tie him up and take him back. Let his family see him once before dealing with him." Xu Wanning could only think of this one solution. They could only meet outside; zombies couldn't be brought into the Safe Zone.

"I'll open the door, you guys tie him up." Ma Yang walked over and opened the door in a few seconds.

The soldier zombie hissed and rushed out, but was bound by the vines released by Wen Shuyang and couldn't move.

Xu Wanning took out a rope. "Tie him up."

Several people took the rope and got to work, and in the end, they didn't forget to gag it.

Lu Chengyue went in, took the stamp, and put it in his pocket. "Let's go."

At 6 PM, everyone came out. Fan Cheng, Luo Ye, and Lin Zhaoyuan followed along, along with several other Ability Users who wanted to go register a squad and accept missions. They knew each other and planned to form their own squad.

"Get on the bus, time to head back!"
