The sudden advancement of his cultivation technique was completely beyond Shen Shian’s expectations. It was less than two months from his advancement in the library. He thought that it would take some time to make another breakthrough.

The only explanation was that his cultivation technique was greatly promoted when he fought the thousands of enemies in the plaza. Shen Shian’s spiritual power was exhausted 28 times, and he consumed a total of 143 bottles of spring water. Pushing himself into desperation, the extreme battle forced him to wander on the edge of life and death. The improvement of his power and the stimulation was too much.

Not only was the advancement time unexpected, the entire advancement process was also very different from the last time in the library. Last time, his Dantian was feverish for twelve days. This time, the process was completed in half an hour.

Thinking about it, he needed to absorb a large amount of spiritual energy when he advanced. In the real world, the spiritual energy was too thin. It took a long time in order to get enough spiritual energy, so the process of advancement was slow. In the space, especially in the spring water, there was plenty of spiritual energy. Such quick completion in a short time was the normal time to advance.

It was a pity that the spring mouth was drained again.

Shen Shian was a little surprised, but he didn’t worry about the fact that there were forty or fifty thousand zombies in the county where they were located.

“Accurately, there are 52,432 zombies.” After being led by Shen Shian and circling around the county, Liu Fangzhou reported the precise number. “Among them, there are 38,686 evolved zombies.”

As soon as the words were finished, Shen Xun’s hand moved and he cut off a zombie head with the sword.

“It’s 38,685 now.”

That’s enough. Can also save an extra sum. Shen Shian calculated the amount in his heart, and at the same time looked at Liu Fangzhou’s glorious ability more and more. The night passed, and the rain slowed down a lot, but it was still pouring. His five senses have more than doubled due to the cultivation technique, and he was disturbed by the sound of rain, but these factors had no effect on Liu Fangzhou.

The teenager withdrew his gaze from the cold Tang sword, and his calf shook twice. He turned to ask Shen Shian, “Brother Shen, are you going to kill all the zombies in the whole county?”

Shen Shian did not answer him, and looked at Chen Nan through the water drops that rolled down along the edge of the umbrella, “What do you think?”

Chen Nan thought for a while and nodded, “I think it’s possible.” Without the control of the power zombie, the zombies in the entire county were like pieces of sand. Just use guerrilla warfare and it would be easy. The importance of the crystal nuclei was self-evident, so many ready-made treasures were in front of them, it was a pity to let go. What’s more, because there were very few survivors, the materials in the county were almost never searched.

Shen Shian listened carefully to his thoughts, and expressed his approval and agreement, “I think so too.” At the same time, he also understood that the hidden meaning that Chen Nan did not say in front of Liu Fangzhou was that he had the space power in his hand. For them, the county was equivalent to a huge reserve. This kind of thing was the same as the crystal nucleus, who would like having too little?

He looked and shouted to the child, “Don’t play, let’s go back.” Emptying the zombies in the entire county was a big project. To make sure that everything was foolproof, they had to plan carefully.

Shen Xun was wearing a children’s raincoat, lemon yellow coloured and had puppy pattern, matching boots and cloak, and there were two ears on the hat. He was carrying a sword and stepping on the water puddles. Hearing Shen Shian, he lifted his foot and jumped hard in a puddle. After the water splashed, he ran back and raised the crystal nuclei in his hand. “An An, here you are.”

Now that he had decided to “slaughter the city”, he must stay in the county for some time. Shen Shian asked Liu Fangzhou, “We want to stay here with you. It is still three crystal nuclei per person everyday. If you are willing to help with your ability, everyone will add one more crystal nuclei everyday, and I will give you a living mutated zombie for you to dissect, how about it?”

“Dealdealdeal!” Afraid that Shen Shian would go back on his word, Liu Fangzhou shouted three times in a row. He looked at Shen Xun’s face quickly and added, “You don’t need to add the crystal nucleus. Anyway, I’m idle and just want to do something. If you need anything, don’t be polite with me, hot water, food, make sure you have enough.”

Shen Shian nodded, spread a piece of paper on the coffee table, sketched a brief map of Lin’an County, and marked the distribution and the specific number of zombies in each area based on Liu Fangzhou’s information. He had to admit that when formulating the first step combat plan, Liu Fangzhou’s skills were really useful in surveying the enemy’s situation. Even in which corner, in which building, on which floor are there a few zombies, he could tell them all clearly.

In addition to formulating a combat plan, Shen Shian used the aloe thorns to make a new thorn stick for Chen Nan. He had thrown the original stick on the stairs of the bookstore. He couldn’t be without any weapons. On the wall of weapons on the second floor of the bamboo building, there was a spear with a red tassel{n1}. When the time is right, he might use it.

Note1:

After everything was ready, Shen Shian called Liu Fangzhou to the side before going out. After thinking about it, Shen Xun was also called, and he asked the teenager, “Did you use your ability on our room last night?”

“Used.” Liu Fangzhou blurted out, then quickly covered his head and curled slightly before Shen Xun. “but I didn’t mean to use my ability on you, brother Shen, you listen to my explanation.”

Shen Shian rubbed the child’s head, “Explain.”

Liu Fangzhou looked at Shen Xun and swallowed his saliva. He put his hands down from his head. “That, what I told you honestly yesterday. Generally, as long as I am idle, I will turn on the ability. Before going to sleep last night, I wanted to check if there were zombies nearby, so I opened it and looked at it. Then there is a feature of my ability, that is, after opening, the default is to perform a circular scan with me as the center, and I need to control it to change to other modes. The two of you lived next door, so the moment the power was turned on, I scanned it inadvertently, so the duration will not exceed one second.”

Shen Shian looked at him, “What did you feel in that moment?”

“I’m not sure, it was vague. It seemed that the two of you disappeared from the room, but at the same time it seemed that you were still in the room.” He tried hard to remember, and suddenly he seemed to understand what happened. His cat-like eyes suddenly widened and shined. “Wow! Brother Shen, you haven’t found a way to block my ability, have you? How can you do it so quickly? Or did you use some special material? Brother Shen, you’re not only a super powerful but also a technology master!”

Shen Shian picked up the child who was giggling and said, “Guess.”

The heavy rain intermittently continued for a whole week. When the weather finally cleared, Shen Shian and others’ “slaughter the city” project finally came to an end. The whole process was very smooth. In the end, they successfully harvested more than 38,000 crystal nuclei and a large amount of materials.

On May 31, 2019, Shen Shian and his party were at Lin’an County for eight days. At noon, Shen Shian found a car wash shop and took the off-road vehicle out of the space and then drove to the door of the beauty salon. Because the zombies in the entire county were cleaned up, the iron gate of the beauty salon was finally pulled up.

“F*ck!” Liu Fangzhou rushed out from the door, pawing at the off-road vehicle and was reluctant to let go, “Brother Shen your car is too handsome!” It was like a dream warship!

Shen Xun bared his teeth, it was An An’s, you are not allowed to touch!

Shen Shian and Chen Nan worked together to move all the crystal nuclei into the car, and then walked to the teenager, “We are leaving.”

“Ah.” Liu Fangzhou withdrew his eyes from the off-road vehicle, and the excitement and color on his face faded, exposing a little bit of the true emotions of the teenager. He rubbed his fingers together, looked up at Shen Shian, and then quickly stared down at his shoes, “So fast.”

Although brother Xun was a bit scary, the days when someone was around were better than when he was alone.

Shen Shian looked at him with gentle eyes and handed him a pile of things. “Thank you for letting us stay for so long. This is for you.”

At the top were textbooks of the anatomy course he had studied at the H City Medical University. In the middle was professional books on anatomy he brought from the library. At the bottom was a medical box containing Grandpa Shen’s teaching tools, including scalpels, surgical knives, and stethoscopes. He put them together in the space when he left home. Regarding whether to send this set of tools, Shen Shian had considered for a long time, and finally decided to take it out. His grandpa had been a teacher for a lifetime, and his biggest wish was to do his best to teach and educate people, and to make his own contribution to the cultivation of more medical talents. Liu Fangzhou was irrelevant to him, but few people are capable of anatomy and was as enthusiastic as him. If his grandpa was still alive, he should be fond of meeting such a student.

This set of tools was useless to him, and it would only become dusty if left in the space. Moreover, whether it was the memories left by his grandfather or his feelings for his grandfather, they would not change because of the existence of a set of teaching tools.

The things were a bit heavy, and Liu Fangzhou almost fell. When he moved the things to the coffee table in the house, he could now see exactly what they were. His eyes were red immediately, “You, I-” His throat seemed to be clogged with a large ball of cotton. He didn’t say a full word for a long time.

Shen Shian patted him on his shoulder, “The apocalypse is difficult, many people are sinister, take care of yourself, don’t open the door to strangers in the future.”

Chen Nan added, “Your ability is very good, but you also need to strengthen it.”

Shen Xun had nothing to say, holding Shen Shian’s hand to hug.

When Shen Shian took the child to the co-driver seat, Liu Fangzhou suddenly rushed out of the beauty salon. “Brother Shen, can I join you?”

Shen Shian turned to look at him, “We are going to Beijing.” Liu Fangzhou’s ability was interesting and he could also play a big role in the journey, but at this time they were thousands of miles away from the capital, and the difficulties and obstacles were unpredictable. Even he dared not guarantee that he could arrive alive, so these days, he had no intention to invite the other party to join him. After all, the county had been cleaned up and it was safer to stay.

Liu Fangzhou stopped opposite Shen Shian, catching his breath a little, and clenched his palm quietly. “Then I will go to the capital with you. I can help you survey the enemy and scan for enemies or zombies around.”

“Why?”

“I want to dissect you.” The words just exited and he quickly waved his hands all over the place. “No, no, I don’t mean that. I mean, we are all friends. If we go together, I can help you collect your corpse if you have an accident, and take a look at the anatomy.”

Shen Shian, “What else?”

“That, I’m too weak, and now the zombies are dead. The survivors who were blocked at home will definitely come out. If there is a conflict, I will not be able to beat them. I can’t always hide at home, the food in the supermarket will be finished one day.”

Shen Shian, “What else?”

The teenager’s face was red, his toes were curled on the ground, and his sound was as quiet as a mosquito, “You are very good, I kind of like you(plural).”

Shen Shian turned his head to Chen Nan and glanced at each other, and then said to the teenager, “ I give you 15 minutes to pack your luggage.”

“Wait a minute, brother Shen, you promised. Hey, hey, hey, hey, brother Shen, you must wait for me and I’ll be ready soon.” The boy was ecstatic, a pair of glazed cat eyes shining in the sunlight. He turned and ran to the salon as quickly as possible.

Shen Xun rolled his eyes and beckoned to Shen Shian, “An An, you come here, I have something to tell you.”

Two minutes later, Shen Shian walked into the beauty salon and came out again. There was an extra jacuzzi in the space.
