There was no need to test, the other party must have an ability. Chen Nan’s eyes lit up, and he moved closer to hear.

Liu Fangzhou wanted to keep silent but couldn’t hold it in, “I called myself a scanner. As the name suggests, my consciousness can scan the surrounding environment and sense how many zombies and survivors there are and other information.”

Shen Shian and Chen Nan glanced at each other and asked, “Is there any limit to this ability? Will it be blocked by buildings or objects that are far away?”

“My ability is not affected by buildings, my consciousness is invisible and can pass directly through buildings. At present, it has never been blocked by anything. If I use myself as the center and scan around, the maximum sensing distance is about 500 meters; If I take myself as the end point and select a direction to scan in a straight line, I can sense for one kilometer.”

“Can everything in this range be sensed, such as road conditions and road signs, or are there obstacles?”

“That’s not true, I can only sense things that are alive and moving. Oh, right, zombies are not alive. Anyway, you get what I mean. I can sense zombies, humans, and animals,” Liu Fangzhou paused slightly. Suddenly, he glanced at Shen Xun quickly and continued, “and something that may be human or animal.”

Shen Shian didn’t notice his small movements, and he was evaluating his ability in his heart. Remote real-time scanning, ignoring buildings, even if the scanning object was slightly limited, the value of this ability in these times was incalculable. The simplest example, with this ability, he could almost guarantee that he would not be ambushed or attacked, whether it was by zombies or by humans.

Chen Nan thought about it for a moment, and suddenly reacted. “Then wouldn’t you know that we were here when we arrived in the county?”

“Yes.” Liu Fangzhou replied. After saying that, he remembered that he didn’t need to tell him at all. He rolled his eyes and turned to look at Shen Shian, and his look was immediately different. “You are so powerful. That power zombie led the zombie army to set a trap on the plaza, and has killed more than a dozen passing survivors. You are the only one who could escape from danger safely, and also fought back against that zombie. With so many zombies surrounding you, I thought you were dead.”

His words reminded Shen Shian of another question, “How do you distinguish ordinary zombies, mutated zombies, and power zombies?” Looking from outside, the difference between these three types of zombies was not very big.

“The picture I sensed is actually different from what I see with my eyes. How do I explain it to you?” Liu Fangzhou thought for a while. “It is a bit similar to thermal imaging, but it is not exactly the same as thermal imaging. For example, ordinary zombies are gray, mutated zombies have a white dot on their head, power zombies have a green dot on their heads, and ordinary survivors are white.”

The teenager pointed to Chen Nan. “When I sensed you, you had a green light, but there was a gray shadow next to the green light. I thought I had found another power zombie, but then I sensed you,” the teenager looked at Shen Shian, and his eyes were once again filled with a fiery intensity that made Shen Shian uncomfortable. “You are a golden light, especially bright, and there is something beside the golden light that I cannot see clearly.” He pointed to Shen Xun. “He’s even stranger. There was a black lump and light seemed to be absorbed and swallowed when it approached. When I tried to sense it, I found that my consciousness couldn’t see through it.”

Shen Shian’s pupil shrunk, he turned his head and looked at Liu Fangzhou. Obviously it was the zombie head with Chen Nan, his skills and space, and Shen Xun’s non-human identity.

According to different abilities and creature types, the induced picture changed accordingly. This power seemed to be more interesting than he had expected.

Liu Fangzhou finally concluded and his tone was full of fanaticism. “In short, I stayed here for almost two months and you are really the most special survivors I have ever seen.” It would be great if I could dissect you myself.

Shen Shian looked at him, “So why did you open the door and let us in?”

“Anatomy.” As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hands repeatedly in the apparently unsightly eyes of the three. “No, no, I don’t mean that. You listen to me, I will explain. Helping others is the basis of happiness. I helped you out in an emergency to make a good impression. Then we will get to know each other better and become friends. If you were killed during your stay in the county, I’ll take care of collecting the corpse for you and analyze it. I, Liu Fangzhou, vowed to heaven that I had absolutely no intention to murder you. Think about it, I’ve seen brother Shen solve more than 10,000 zombies in person. I wouldn’t dare to deal with you even if I had more guts.”

It seemed to make sense. Chen Nan thought for a while and then retracted the knife that was facing him again.

Shen Shian asked, “You just said that in your sensing ability, there is a green light in the brain of the power zombie.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Shen Shian took out something from his bathrobe pocket, “Is this it?”

It was a crystal nucleus, slightly larger than marbles, clear and verdant, like a diamond that was cut precisely, and it also looked like a pure and flawless jadeite, shining brilliantly under the candlelight.

“Wow.” Chen Nan couldn’t help but exclaimed, and he looked closer. “This is the crystal nucleus in the brain of the power zombie.” It was very different from the one in the brain of the mutant zombie.

Shen Shian nodded. He took it out of the brain of the zombie and put it in his jacket pocket. When he was washing his clothes, he put it in his bathrobe pocket. The reason he didn’t immediately absorb it was because he had thought that it might play an important role later.

“Crystal nucleus…” Liu Fangzhou was full of doubts, “What is a crystal nucleus? You mean that this thing was pulled out of the brain of the power zombie?”

He reached out to touch it, but Shen Shian had already folded his palms to store the crystal nucleus back, and asked with furrowed eyebrows. “You don’t know what a crystal nucleus is?”

“I don’t know,” Liu Fangzhou was even more confused. “I told you that I haven’t been out since the end of the world. I can only sense how many zombies exist through my ability. How do I know what is the difference between zombies and what is growing in their heads. Hey, don’t be so stingy, this thing is from the head of the power zombie, let me take another look.”

Shen Shian looked at Chen Nan, and Chen Nan quickly realized, “I’ll go.” He walked up the stairs and out of the basement, and it didn’t take long for him to return with a heavy bag.

Shen Shian took out a transparent crystal nucleus from the bag and handed it to Liu Fangzhou. “This is also a crystal nucleus, which was taken from the brain of the mutated zombie.”

Liu Fangzhou picked up the crystal nucleus at his fingertips and carefully examined it. Just like what happened with Chen Nan, the crystal nucleus turned into ash, and it fell from his fingertips.

“What’s going on? What happened? I swear I didn’t do anything! Wait,” the panic on the teenager’s face suddenly turned into an incredible surprise. “My induction range suddenly increased.”

Shen Shian nodded, “This is a normal phenomenon. Your ability can be promoted by absorbing zombie crystal nuclei.”

Liu Fangzhou was very clever and quickly connected the information together. “So in the picture I sensed, the white spots of the mutated zombies and the green light of the power zombie correspond to the crystal nuclei in their brains.”

Shen Shian shook his head, “No.”

Suddenly receiving such an amazing boost in his ability, Liu Fangzhou was very excited. “Can I absorb another nucleus?”

“No.” Chen Nan refused, and tied the bag tightly. “We collected these so hard. If you want to absorb more, go and fight the zombies.”

Liu Fangzhou was angry, “I asked brother Shen and didn’t ask you. Whatever you say, the zombies were killed by brother Shen, it has nothing to do with you. You just came behind to pick up the results.” Now that he thinks about it, no wonder they stayed in the plaza for almost two hours. He was puzzled before, and thought that they had some special hobbies like himself. It turns out that they were collecting crystal nuclei.

Chen Nan was also angry, “Who is your brother Shen, why are you calling him brother Shen? We are not familiar with you, and we don’t have any relationship with you.”

“I don’t care, I don’t care. I didn’t call you brother, why are you so mad?”

“I don’t want you to call me brother anyway. I don’t even want a little brother like you.” The age is about the same as that of Jiamu. But they can’t be compared at all. He is one-tenth, no, one percent of Jiamu.

“Even if you want me to call you brother, I won’t. Dream on.”

“You-”

“Enough.” Shen Shian had a headache from listening to their quarrels and interrupted the two. He looked at Liu Fangzhou, “Chen Nan is my teammate, you are nothing. If you want a crystal nuclei, answer the question honestly. Is this zombie on the table an ordinary zombie or a mutant zombie?”

Liu Fangzhou closed his mouth.

“It has almost no decay. Have you been infusing your power on it all the time?”

“You know this trick too.” The teenager’s emotions changed quickly and became lively again. “I was initially worried that it would make loud noise and led other zombies here. But I realized that if I input my power into it, it will be quiet, and it was okay to dissect it. After a long time, I found that it could also delay its decay process, so I would input my powers into it several times a day, and it continues to this day.”

“To be able to maintain a whole zombie to not rot, the required power is not little.” According to Chen Nan’s description, it was quite difficult for him to maintain only one head to not rot.

“It’s okay, I don’t feel much.” Liu Fangzhou said, “I’m not losing my power 24 hours a day, it’s only half an hour a day. I have to monitor the surrounding conditions at other times.”

Shen Shian spoke what he had thought, “Your power is continuously activated for 24 hours. Won’t you be able to persevere?”

“It’s not fully 24 hours, I still have to sleep. But generally it will be turned on as long as I’m awake. It’s too boring to hide in the house, I have to find something to do for myself. Too long will be a bit tiring, and I need to take a break for more than ten minutes to recover. Alas, I am still too weak.”

Without using any crystal nucleus, Chen Nan could only produce ten strawberries every day and needed to sleep for a night to recover

No wonder he didn’t know about crystal nucleus. He didn’t need to use them to supplement his powers.

Shen Shian’s eyes were filled with marvels. If the survivor had an initial value after evolution, then among the three abilities he met, there was no doubt that Ms. Dong, who he had met in the library, had the highest value. The flames could burn people into ashes in an instant; Chen Nan had the lowest, but his power was a growth type, which was relatively weak in the early stage, but the development potential in the later stage was inestimable.

The value of Liu Fangzhou’s ability was probably not much lower than that of Ms. Dong. However, the shortcomings were also obvious. His ability could only be used as an auxiliary, and the lethality was so low that Shen Shian couldn’t figure out how to kill zombies with this ability.

As the conversation progressed, the two sides gradually deepened their understanding and learned from each other, and the sound of zombies hitting the door upstairs gradually diminished and disappeared.

Shen Shian thought for a moment, stood up and spoke to Chen Nan, “Come with me, I have something to tell you.”

Shen Xun immediately took his hand, “I’m going too.”

Shen Shian patted the child’s head and pointed at Liu Fangzhou, “You have another mission, I need you to help me look at him.”

Liu Fangzhou was reluctant, “Why? This is my house and I saved you.”

Shen Shian looked at him, his voice cold and his eyes colder. “This is the consequence for letting strangers enter the door casually.”

Liu Fangzhou didn’t dare to speak, so he sat back on the steps and muttered in a low voice while holding his knees.

Shen Xun has always been enthusiastic and motivated to complete the task that Shen Shian handed to him. “An An, you can rest assured. I guarantee that he will not move even one step.”

Shen Shian put the Tang sword down and hugged him, “Be good. If there is any problem I will come back immediately.”

After the two left, the basement was silent. Only two candle fires occasionally bursting.

Liu Fangzhou cleared his throat, intending to ease the atmosphere. “You are called Shen Xun right? How about I call you Xun Xun?”

Shen Xun stared at him sullenly and gritted his teeth, “Aoo.”

Liu Fangzhou, who was still using his ability, saw a picture. In the picture, an unimaginable huge beast suddenly emerged from the darkness that symbolizes Shen Xun, as if coming from the ancient wilderness, covering the sky and the sun. It was loud like thunder, and looked like it could destroy the world in a breath.

Suddenly his power was cut off, and his brain hurt like a knife was stabbed. Liu Fangzhou’s face was pale, and there were several layers of cold sweat in an instant. He shouted,

“Brother Xun, I know my mistake brother Xun!”
