Doomsday Carnival: The Little Monster Only Has a Seven-Second Memory

Zhang Dapeng turned around and carefully put away the four-star metal-type alien core, muttering to himself, "I can't let Xiao Zhao know, or he'll try to take it from me later."

Zhao Pingsheng also enjoys studying heteronuclei.

Huo Ling smiled and said, "No, you're from the metal element, so I'll give you priority."

Zhang Dapeng laughed heartily.

The remaining distance is not far; it should only take about half a day to walk.

Huo Ling also packed his luggage and told his teammates to travel light. He took a backpack for himself, containing some daily necessities and medicines, as well as compressed biscuits, chocolate for quick sugar replenishment, and mineral water.

Lin Shuangshuang followed behind him, also packing some things in her pink backpack, just like Huo Ling. The main reason was that the space card was too conspicuous, so it was better not to expose it if possible. Therefore, it was safer to use a backpack.

The corpse worm's heteronucleus is also a space system. After emptying the contents, Huo Ling handed it over to Zhao Pingsheng for research. Zhao Pingsheng said it could be used as a space card, and the principle was no different from Lin Shuangshuang's; it could be stored by touching it.

Huo Ling discussed it with his teammates and finally entrusted the alien core of the corpse worm to Wu Zhe for safekeeping. This spatial alien core has been emptied and can be used for storage in the future, because his ability makes it easier to escape and he is safer to carry supplies.

No one had any objections to this.

The small castle made its way smoothly to the vicinity of L City. Outside, everything was muddy, with blood and dirt mixed together. Going out to fight at this time was particularly difficult.

The five men were fully armed.

It's quite windy here.

Wu Zhe exclaimed, "My God, this wind!! If I weren't wearing a mask, this acid rain would have pelted my face!"

Lorna's hair was tied into a low ponytail, otherwise it would have definitely blown all over her face. "Holy crap, this wind!"

Gao Lei gripped the railing firmly, constantly protecting Luo Na and Wu Zhe, saying, "Watch your step."

They were still two kilometers away from L City, so the small castle needed to be parked further away.

Safer.

Before leaving the house, Lin Shuangshuang's hair was also styled into double buns by Huo Ling.

She was fully armed and gripped the railing.

Huo Ling was like a cypress tree, very steady. With him standing beside her, Lin Shuangshuang felt that she wouldn't fly away. She grabbed his arm, and when he didn't react, she moved up his arm to his wrist.

When she tried to sneakily grab his hand, he grabbed hers instead.

Lin Shuangshuang's face turned bright red.

Huo Ling glanced at her. "Behave yourself now? Hold on tight, or you'll get blown away by the wind."

This rescue operation was a joint effort between an official team and a civilian team.

They also saw acquaintances.

Surprisingly, the siblings Qi Zhi and Qi Mo were also among this group of superhumans.

At the entrance to the L City expressway, many tents and yurt-like structures have sprung up, and the open space is filled with small teams from all over the country.

"Wow, I guess I'll have to get on good terms with the authorities. Look at this safe zone, it's really great!"

"Indeed, there's no problem with accommodation, there are bathrooms, and plenty of hot water. It's really great. These days, it's not easy to find clean water. The fact that there's plenty of hot water already makes it better than many small bases."

"What?! The small base doesn't have a clean water source? I have plenty over there!"

"That's right, even the tiny survivor shelters in the village have water sources."

"You're from the South, right? Tsunamis are frequent there, and acid rain is more frequent, so water pollution is severe. No wonder you're short of water."

"It really is!!"

"Now we have to go inland. We can't go to the coastal areas; they're all occupied territory. When will we ever be able to save them? Forget about it."

"Don't you have any water-based ability users? Purification would be a piece of cake!"

"To have the ability to purify water, one's water-based ability level must be at least level three or higher, right? Reaching level three is not easy; these days, it's still a bit difficult to drink clean water."

"Your team is pretty strong, all fire-type? Wow, you even use alien cores to level up?"

"Eat it, I guess. I heard it's bad to eat heteronuclear cells directly, but what can we do? I heard the authorities have low-pollution heteronuclear cell dilution agents, but you need points to exchange for them. Looks like doing favors for the authorities is a done deal from now on!"

Did not run away.

Everyone chattered excitedly. It was rare to gather so many people, all of whom were civilians with special abilities, so there was plenty to talk about.

"The reward this time is pretty good, so we all need to work harder and earn more points!"

"No problem!!"

"There are quite a few zombies in L City, I don't know how we're going to deal with them."

"Did you guys watch the live stream of the official zombie horde battle last time? Why don't we do it again? I think it'll be faster and we can save some energy."

"No, there are still quite a few survivors in L city. We can't do that!"

"I heard that there are still hundreds of students trapped in a teaching building in a college, and there are quite a few survivors in several hospitals. There are also a few scattered survivors in the city center. We can't use explosives here."

"That's right. The main objective this time is rescue, not encirclement and suppression. We have to follow orders and see what the official teams do, and then we'll do the same."

People were discussing it animatedly.

The official team stood in neat rows on the side, ramrod straight.

Although the people here are mostly idle, they are all quite capable; otherwise, they wouldn't be here, given the dangers involved in this mission.

When Lin Shuangshuang arrived here with Huo Ling and the others, everyone turned to look at her.

Qi Zhi and Qi Mo stared wide-eyed in disbelief. After hesitating for a moment, the siblings told their current teammates and came over. The marks on their necks had been washed away.

Lin Shuangshuang noticed it immediately because the siblings were wearing transparent raincoats.

Qi Mo exclaimed excitedly, "What a coincidence!! I didn't expect you to still be alive!"

Qi Zhi nodded to them.

Lorna was still in shock. "Oh my god, I thought you two were dead. That town was almost razed to the ground by the zombie horde, and you two actually survived?!"

The siblings were actually a little embarrassed, since they had previously helped the town lord deceive other ability users, including Lin Shuangshuang and the other four. However, because they had redeemed themselves and were also victims, they were only given a minor punishment and have now been incorporated into the official reserve rescue team.

"For many years to come, we would only receive basic wages, but thankfully we've gotten back on track and will never do that kind of thing again."

Qi Mo said this with such frustration.

Qi Zhi nodded, then turned to look at the five of them. "Where's that burly guy? Thanks to the potion he gave us, we escaped the zombie horde."

Only then could the siblings survive.

Wu Zhe said he wasn't there.

Qi Zhi said, "Then let's say that we, as siblings, owe you a big favor."

Qi Mo winked at them, "Yeah, just ask if you need any help!"

The siblings said they were not ungrateful people. After they finished speaking, their teammates called them over, and the siblings hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Lorna sighed, "People are so complicated. They wanted to mess with us back then, but now they owe us a favor, hahaha."
