Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Ye Chaoqiu's waking up means that she has defeated the zombie poison. As for her special abilities, she needs to recover her body and explore them according to her instinct. As long as she is still alive, Zhou Leng's mission will not fail.

The Shenliu team instantly recovered from the sad atmosphere, and everyone was passing information to each other - the captain woke up and Ye Chaoqiu was safe.

The dining tables of each family in the yard were placed around the pavilion. They set out bowls and chopsticks, and every household brought out their specialty dishes. Although there was no alcohol, there were some fresh fruits placed in prominent positions.

In the entire base, only the Shenliu team, which is mainly composed of wood, can afford to hold such a luxurious bonfire party.

Everyone was happily eating, drinking and chatting, just as comfortable and relaxing as if they were in a roadside restaurant found on the streets of a former busy city.

Qian Liang squeezed Fang Zhen aside and sat next to Zhou Leng. He served him attentively and told him what had happened.

From the time Ye Chaoqiu was injured to this moment, Zhou Leng had not had time to know how his mother was injured. He just felt a familiar breath on the metal arrow during the treatment.

Qian Liang was still chewing his food as he narrated the story of Ye Chaoqiu's injury in a moving voice. Finally, he said with emotion:

"Boss, who did you tell me hurt Sister Ye? We didn't see anyone. He was probably so far away from Jiyuan and so accurate. His strength is unpredictable, but why didn't he continue to kill? Or was it an accidental injury? Two masters fought and accidentally injured Sister Ye."

Zhou Leng ate the meat that Qian Liang handed over, chewing it carefully and thinking seriously. She finished the food in her mouth before saying:

"I feel that person's ability is somewhat familiar. He must be someone we know. The protection I gave my mother is hard to break. The metal arrow is hollow, with high-grade crystal core powder inside and smeared with mutant zombie poison outside. These two things are not common. If it's not an accidental injury, it must have been premeditated. But why don't I remember having such a powerful enemy who likes to harm people!"

Qian Liang leaned close to the girl's head and said solemnly:

"This guy is quite sinister. He is obviously coming for us. I just don't know if he is from the base."

Wang Zheng had been listening to their conversation. At this moment, he said with a serious face: "An An, do you still remember Yan Hua?"

Zhou Leng turned his head to look at Wang Zheng in confusion.

"He was the young man with a green face who tried to stop us and kill us together with the sea monster. His arm was injured by you and it grew back on its own. He is very strange and he even knows your name is Fang Jiaan, but I have never seen him before!"

Zhou Leng asked: "Yan Hua? How do you know his name?"

Wang Zheng said: "He himself said so. Maybe you were too tired at the time and didn't hear what he said. I suspect... I suspect he is a zombie with independent consciousness, no different from humans. Even his body can be reborn. He is a zombie more powerful than humans!"

Wang Zheng did not deliberately lower his voice, and Qian Liang and others sitting nearby could hear it clearly. The delicious food and warm atmosphere seemed unable to drive away the sudden chill. If zombies also had human-like intelligence, then...

Zhou Leng patted off the residue on her hands and carefully wiped off the oil with paper. There was no fear or helplessness on her face. She said as usual:

"Did your last exploration mission fail? Go take on another nearby exploration mission tomorrow. In the evening, please ask mom to make some more candies and snacks. I will go find the little monkey to thank it. As for the matter of the intelligent zombies that Wang Zheng mentioned, don't worry, sooner or later I will chop off his head to avenge mom!"

Qian Liang said with some concern: "Still doing an exploration mission! What if we run into those leopards again?"

Zhou Leng bared his teeth and said fiercely:

"I've never eaten leopard meat before, so I'll give it a try. If I don't improve myself, how can I protect you in the future?"

Wang Zheng couldn't help but said:

"Jia'an, you've been in a daze for three years. Of course you're very powerful, but those leopards are even more powerful. You should rest for a while."

Zhou Leng turned his head to look at him, his eyes conveying his message: I am very strong.

Although there are more and more known and unknown monsters, and more and more enemies, Zhou Leng's cute and confident appearance still makes Qian Liang and others relax. So what if there are more monsters? They have survived in this apocalypse for so long.

***

On the second day, several members of the Shenliu team went to take on a reconnaissance mission not far from the place where they were attacked last time.

Ye Chaoqiu took the initiative to ask to stay in the base. She was still exploring her supernatural powers. She wanted to make herself stronger before going on missions to help her daughter, instead of being a drag at the moment. So she was obsessed with feeling the supernatural elements and exploring the use of supernatural powers all day long.

The members of the Shenliu team who went out on the mission this time were Zhou Leng, the Qian siblings, Wang Zheng, Wang En, Li Xu and Lu Weiguo.

Lu Weiguo was the official person in charge of the last ocean guard mission. He was on vacation recently. In order to have more contact with Qian Rou, he participated in this operation free of charge as Qian Liang's friend.

Qian Liang took the children in one car, while Qian Rou was in another car with Li Xu and Lu Weiguo.

Speechless all the way.

Everyone arrived at the place they were responsible for exploring. There was a forest here. After passing through the forest, there was a small lake. Except for a few weak mutant animals, it was very safe here.

Li Xu was responsible for using the video equipment he carried with him to take a rough picture of the situation here. They would use this as evidence when handing in the task, and the base would also update the situation here on the map later.

The mission was successfully completed, and everyone went to the little monkey's territory at Zhou Leng's request.

After about two hours of driving, they were about to enter the monkeys' territory. Qian Liang said while holding the intercom:

"Drive slowly, follow me closely, and stop before the territory."

Li Xu replied: "Received."

Two cars stopped on the side of the road. After several people got out, Zhou Leng looked into the distance, which was his eyes covered by green leaves.

There are also guards outside the monkey's territory.

Qian Liang asked, "Boss, let's just wait. This monkey group really occupies a good spot. I can see the fruits hanging on the trees from such a distance. No wonder those people went to pick them. They look so tempting. If we take them to the market to sell, how many crystal cores will we get!"

Qian Rou couldn't help but say, "I'm afraid I'll be able to pick it alive but not escape alive!"

Zhou Leng replied: "Let's wait first. The monkeys have already discovered us. The little monkeys will be here soon."

Qian Liang covered his eyes with his hands and looked forward, trying to see clearly that Zhou Leng had discovered his monkey.

Everyone stood under the shade of the trees by the roadside, waiting and enjoying the cool breeze.

After about ten minutes, the little monkey came running from far away, followed by several mature monkeys. Its happy look made people laugh.
