Unknown Encyclopedia, awaiting update.

"Class Monitor, why... why do I seem to see something different?!" A Soldier on the adjacent Hospital bed spoke with some confusion.

"Is it a light screen? I saw it too, and it said something about energy plants!" A comrade on the other side said, a hint of excitement in his voice.

And as the Class Monitor, A Man could also see the situation within the light screen!

So, the Sunflower left by that person was the method to fight the monsters!

The moment the other party left the Sunflower, they had already shared with them the way to fight the monsters!

...

...

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh ~"

The RV drove smoothly on the highway.

After Hong Lei drove out of the County, he still hadn't escaped the shroud of the rain curtain.

It looked like this was a heavy rain covering the entire County.

Opening the on-board map arranged for the RV by the System, Hong Lei looked at the area of County Number One Middle School again.

The blackness there had completely disappeared, replaced by a patch of clean white.

On the entire map, after the black area of County Number One Middle School disappeared, there were still several black areas that showed no movement at all.

For example, [Ba Wang Township], which he had seen before, the range of darkness had not receded, but had expanded slightly!

He took out his telephone and took a look.

The County sent a few more messages on the telephone tonight.

Roughly speaking, it was to explain the gunfire and explosions at the County Hospital.

Then he looked at the County Hospital on the map.

Somewhat unexpectedly, the County Hospital, which was originally completely black, was finally gradually turning white at this moment.

After experiencing the initial chaos of this disaster, the County could be considered to have found its footing.

But that was limited to the County.

He found videos from the same city on his telephone.

The same-city channel, which was originally filled with local-style videos, was now full of distress calls and doomsday-related remarks, and some people even uploaded videos they had filmed of Zombies!

These videos had very few views, basically single-digit views.

As soon as Hong Lei swiped, the video was directly taken down.

But when he flipped again, it was a new video!

"I'm in Ba Wang Township, and I don't know what to do now! People are dying here! It's raining from the sky, a very heavy freezing rain! Someone was bitten by others, and the ambulance telephone can't get through! We organized people to take the bitten person to the Hospital, but after driving only a hundred meters or so, we were completely frozen on the road, the car tires and the ground were frozen solid by ice!"

"Just now, someone got out of the car to find help nearby, and as soon as they walked out about ten meters, they were hit by large amounts of freezing rain falling on them and were frozen into ice sculptures!"

"I say this isn't freezing rain, this is heaven creating evil!"

After watching the video, Hong Lei clicked on the comment section, which was empty.

Just as he was about to watch the next video, a message appeared on this video software.

"Dear user, we are very sorry, due to technical problems within the APP, it needs to be repaired. The update is expected to start at 22:32, and the update duration is expected to be 24 hours."

After these prompt texts appeared, a pop-up window filled the entire telephone screen.

"Do you want to exit the APP?"

[Yes]

There was only one clickable option.

After Hong Lei pressed it, the telephone automatically exited the software.

From the videos he had just scrolled through, it could be seen that there were too many such videos all over the Dragon Country.

The official authorities couldn't even control it anymore!

In desperation, they could only suspend operations.

Subsequently, Hong Lei opened some other software, and the situation was basically the same.

On games, only playing games was allowed, not chatting, and major forums were also blocked.

Hong Lei had now activated the Plant Shop Boss mode, knowing that as long as he had customers, he could continuously become stronger and protect his family's safety.

And the internet was the fastest channel to connect people for dialogue. He had originally intended to find customers on it, but now, finding suitable customers through the internet seemed difficult.

"Ding ~ Host, do you want to spend five Energy points to randomly activate the RV's Calling Channel?"

Ye Tian's voice appeared in time, offering the Host a solution to the problem.

"Activate the Calling Channel?" Hong Lei was half-understanding.

He looked at the Energy he had accumulated, which had now reached 5.3. The 0.3 Energy was extracted from the Energy produced by the Sunflower previously given to Class Seven.

The Sunflower that had been sent out had already had its automatic collection function turned off.

After all, doing so was the optimal solution to ensure the Sunflower's lifespan.

As for the point that the Sunflower continuously produces Energy day and night and will disappear if not collected in time, Hong Lei believed that the dozen or so people in Class Seven would not allow such a situation to happen.

A very important reason why Hong Lei gave the Sunflower to the people in Class Seven was that these people would be a whole when fighting, and they could cooperate perfectly when dividing tasks!

Their advantage over individuals was that even if the number of Sunflowers increased later, there would be no situation where Energy was missed and not collected!

This point alone made Hong Lei firm that his future customers would be at least a small group, only then could the benefits be maximized!

However, such small groups were hard to find. He just happened to have so many Energy points on hand, and the System also took the unprecedented initiative to remind him. Since that was the case, it wouldn't hurt to try activating it.

"System, activate this function." He muttered to himself, Hong Lei's expression unchanged.

And just as his affirmative words fell, Hong Lei could see five of his Energy points disappear directly, leaving 0.3 Energy.

After the Energy was consumed, A Man didn't find any change in the RV.

...

In front of the huge windshield, the wipers continuously scraped away the ordinary rain curtain. In the back of the RV, his Hong Lei's daughter was being tutored by Xu Si Xu with a pained expression, while his Lin Yue's wife was sleeping soundly on the passenger seat beside him, looking a bit tired.

Hong Lei glanced at his Lin Yue's wife and shook his head helplessly.

There was a bed in the car, but she didn't go to sleep, insisting on staying beside him.

Hong Lei set the car to automatic driving mode, got up and covered his Lin Yue's wife with a blanket, and the woman happened to wake up.

"Go to sleep on the bed, you'll catch a cold later."

"No need, you A Man are becoming more and more incomprehensible to me. If I don't keep an eye on you, you might get hooked up with some wild woman." Jiang Qun muttered in a low voice.

Hearing this, the flesh on Hong Lei's face twitched: "You're not saying this because I let that Teacher stay, are you? Didn't you agree to let her stay just now? What are you thinking about in your head?"

"That woman is indeed beautiful, unlike me, who is old and faded."

"Where did you learn those cunning words? You're someone who's supposed to be the big sister-in-law, don't pull this on me. I don't look down on that kind of woman at all."

"Don't look down on her? You A Man wouldn't look down on a woman with big breasts and a big butt like that?"

"Unless you like men!"

Jiang Qun's inexplicable remarks left Hong Lei speechless for a moment: "You're really getting more and more outrageous."

"Beep beep beep!!"

Just then, in the driver's seat of the car, a rapid ringing sound appeared.

At the moment this sound rang out, Hong Lei's gaze couldn't help but fall on the slot in front of the driver's seat where a wired telephone was placed.

It was a new function updated by the System!

In just an instant, Hong Lei was able to confirm it!

He reached out and picked up the telephone.

And in the next moment, an anxious effeminate voice came from the other end of the telephone: "It's connected, it's connected! It actually connected!"

"Hello?" Hong Lei asked tentatively.

"There's really someone!" The voice on the other end of the telephone became even more excited: "Are you the streamer of the [Nan Tong is Me] channel? I'm a loyal fan of your channel!"

"Just now, my boyfriend and I checked into a Hotel, and suddenly we encountered a terrorist attack!"

"My boyfriend said those are Zombies! I'm so scared of dying! I called the Police but couldn't get through, couldn't get through to any hotline telephone. Finally, I suddenly remembered your channel, tried dialing it, and surprisingly found that it connected!"

"Streamer, please help us call the Police. We are in room 3225 of the Dadu Hotel in Tander City, United States!"

"If we are rescued, I will definitely introduce you to a boyfriend, please, please, please!"

In the telephone call, the sound was very noisy, but also very clear.

Inside the RV, however, it was very quiet.

With the slightly widened mouths of his Lin Yue's wife Jiang Qun and his Hong Lei's daughter Hong Yunyan, Hong Lei, in his daze, slowly put the telephone back in its place!

"Hong Lei, you?!" His Lin Yue's wife's disbelieving voice rang out, sharp and trembling.

Turning his head to look at his Lin Yue's wife Jiang Qun, who was staring with eyes like she was looking at a stranger, Hong Lei took a deep breath: "Listen to me explain."

"No need to say anything." Jiang Qun bit her silver teeth and shook her head slightly: "I knew it long ago... *sob* (Kettle-style crying)."

"Ding-a-ling ~"

The telephone rang again.

Hong Lei's heart was filled with anger.

"I'm not in the United States, and I don't know the Police there, nor can I help you call the Police. And one more thing... I'm not the streamer of this channel!"

"Then... are you Nan Tong?" In the telephone call, the voice was still the same person as before.

"Damn it, I'm your Dad!" Hanging up the telephone with a pained expression, Hong Lei had never expected that the hotline telephone activated by the System could cause him such great damage!

"Ding-a-ling ~"

The telephone, which had just been hung up, rang again.

Taking a deep breath, Hong Lei suppressed the anger in his heart and answered the telephone: "You don't need to call again, I can't handle your overseas matters."

After this sentence was spoken, he was about to hang up the telephone in his hand when he suddenly heard a questioning voice coming from the telephone.

"Did I call you before? The last transaction was a month ago."

"Besides, I also returned to the Dragon Country a month ago. I'm not overseas."

This voice was neither humble nor arrogant, sounding like a Man who had received higher education or held a certain high position.

And this also made Hong Lei's expression calm down a bit.

Looking at the telephone in his hand, he vaguely realized that this was another communication channel given to his RV by the System.

It sounded normal this time.
