Sun Han and others also discovered this and couldn’t help but gasp, “What’s going on? Did I see it wrong? The zombie actually has consciousness?”

In the open space in the distance, there stood a seemingly lonely zombie, a male body with tattered clothes, his head tilted towards the sky, emitting a rhythmic mournful howl. At the same time, the zombie horde on their side continued to move forward in an organized manner.

“The days ahead will be even more difficult!” Professor Feng, with gray hair, furrowed his brows deeply, observing everything.

Ji Zan, with a heavy voice, said, “After this wave of zombies, we must reinforce the buildings as soon as possible. With a few more rains, most of the zombies might gain consciousness… and the issue of food is also pressing.”

Everyone remained silent, their hearts weighed down. The evolving zombies and the dwindling food supply were like two great mountains, making it hard to breathe.

Sun Han attempted to use his fire ability several times, but the flames were too small, unable to reach the zombies, and sometimes he couldn’t even control it. He could only resort to using an iron rod to deal with the zombies! He felt that his ability had awakened to a lonely existence.

The zombies didn’t have any sense of pain. Even if a group was knocked down, a new group would replace them. The howling sounds were horrifying and piercing…

On the other side, Fu Shinan had been continuously reinforcing the damage, but the reinforcement speed couldn’t keep up with the speed of zombie attacks! It was evident that these zombies were truly being led by someone, able to identify and forcefully attack the weakest points.

Several hours passed in this mechanical cycle of slashing and smashing, and as the first ray of dawn appeared, a piercing howl sounded, and the zombies immediately retreated.

At the same time, the damaged areas began to repair themselves once again. At this point, nobody had time to figure out whose ability it was; everyone was exhausted and breathing heavily.

Ji Zan was the first to shout, “Get up, let’s go back and rest for a while. The zombies shouldn’t be active during the day. Take advantage of this time, at 1 o’clock in the afternoon, we’ll go out to search for supplies. Who will stay behind to guard the base today?”

Xia Dong leaned against the wall and stood up, saying, “Let Professor Feng stay behind. We’re strong and can explore more places.”

Everyone agreed, but Professor Feng didn’t want to stay behind due to his old age. In the end, the majority decided, and he stayed.

The others hadn’t slept a wink all night. After all, in this situation, it was impossible to close their eyes.

Fu Shinan looked even more exhausted, and she collapsed weakly onto the bed, saying, “I’m going to sleep.” After speaking, she fell asleep.

Man Yu seemed to ponder for a moment as she glanced at Fu Shinan before eventually falling asleep as well.

Time flew by quickly, and Ji Zan was the first to wake up. He first checked on Da Fei, who was still recovering from injuries, and then gathered everyone to go out in search of supplies.

Bai Lianhua appeared out of nowhere and playfully said, “Brother Ji, I want to go too.”

Ji Zan thought for a moment. Leaving Bai Lianhua at the base would only cause trouble, so he decided to take her along.

Shi Chanter naturally wanted to join as well, but when she saw that Ji Zan and the others had already left, she could only stomp her foot in regret. She didn’t dare to face Fu Shinan anymore and simply hid inside the house, refusing to come out.

Fu Shinan was unaware of all this and even if she knew, she wouldn’t care. After a quick wash, she and Man Yu went downstairs. The two of them made a simple porridge and then called Xiao Chang’an and Professor Feng to have something to eat together.

Professor Feng took a few bites but couldn’t eat anymore. He couldn’t help but sigh, “This is the best time to eat vegetables, but unfortunately, in the future, it will be difficult to even see them, let alone eat them.”

Seeing the professor looking melancholic, Fu Shinan said, “Once we stabilize, we can try growing some. We’ll see them again.”

However, Professor Feng shook his head. “The current level of ultraviolet radiation is not suitable for growing vegetables. As long as the weather outside remains the same and humanity doesn’t have the time to research, how is it possible to achieve that?”

Fu Shinan fell silent. Now only the zombies were immune to ultraviolet radiation, but zombies couldn’t eat vegetables either. When everyone went outside, they had to cover their skin completely, or else their skin would be burnt.

It was truly a terrifying situation. Humanity was now barely surviving. Without crops, everything would cease to exist. Thinking about this, Fu Shinan lost her appetite.

Man Yu, on the other hand, was more optimistic. “Come on, even if the sky falls, we’ll hold it up together! Worrying and frowning now, how will we live in the future?”

Fu Shinan was immediately infected by Man Yu’s optimism and chuckled helplessly. “You’re right. Since the heavens have allowed a few of us to survive, there must be other opportunities for us..”
