Chapter Thirty-Four: Change of Plans

  The two of them sat down again.

  "Brother, I've finished speaking, it's your turn now."

  Du ZiTeng asked about Wu Xiaotian's past.

  "At the time of this damn apocalypse, I was still sleeping at home, hunting and killing zombies in my house. When I killed the zombies, the dead zombies actually had evolution energy, which is a good thing that can enhance various qualities of human beings, such as strength, speed, physical strength, reaction nerves, etc."

  Wu Xiaotian first talked about the reasons for his transformation, and then began to talk about what he had seen and heard along the way.

  When Du ZiTeng heard Li ErTui's segment about eating people, he couldn't help but curse: "These two beasts, they should be killed!", but Wu Xiaotian's narrative didn't end there, and he went on to talk about the perverted Terminator.

  "That Terminator is so abnormal, handgun bullets are useless against him, Wu Xiaotian's knife can only scratch the surface, and he also has a terrifying healing ability. I was like a dog biting a turtle shell, unable to do anything, and when I decided to escape, that Terminator caught up with me again. I could only fight with my back to the water, almost losing my life."

  "Brother, you're not easy either, come on and have another drink!", Du Ziteng raised his wine glass in a toast, Wu Xiaotian downed it in one gulp.

  At this time, Wu Xiaotian stood up and said to Du Ziteng: "Brother, if it wasn't for you being attracted by the Terminator's call just in time, I would have been food in the mouths of zombies by now. Thank you, brother."

  Just as he was about to say thank you, Du Ziteng interrupted him. Wu Xiaotian felt unbearable after hearing that one sentence.

  "We're all brothers from the same family, don't give me any of that useless stuff."

  Du ZiTeng didn't mention saving Wu Xiaotian anymore, and instead asked: "Brother, tell me about the mutated zombies you've seen, and that mutated tree!"

  When he saw Du Ziteng change the subject, Wu Xiaotian didn't mention it anymore and directly introduced himself to Du Ziteng about the variant zombies and variant monsters he had seen.

  "Witch, I'll call it W1 for short. It was the first mutated zombie I saw, but it seemed to be almost dead already, so I killed it easily. Its appearance is similar to that of Witch in the game 'Survival Road', so I call it W1. It has sharp claws, those claws are like sharp fruit knives, long and sharp. No other information for now."

  "Tank, I'll call it T1 for short. The first time I saw this zombie, there were 4 of them in total, and they scared me stupid. They are extremely powerful and can directly lift a sedan with ease. Their striking force is at least over 1000 jin. It's over 3 meters tall, with very muscular physique all over its body, but the muscles on its lower body don't match its upper body at all. Maybe it hasn't fully evolved yet, but it's still very strong."

  At this time, Wu Xiaotian had not stopped talking and continued to talk about the variant zombies he encountered.

  "Hunter, I'll call it H1 for short. This H1 is extremely fast, and when it moves, the human eye can't see it, only feel it. With its sharp claws, it's like an assassin in the dark. However, its physical strength and defense are insufficient, so if you catch the opportunity, you can kill it."

  "These variant zombies are all found in the game, but that Terminator is not, it has T1's power, H1's speed, bulletproof defense, and is simply a nightmare. It's the most powerful zombie I've ever seen."

  At this time, Wu Xiaotian had just finished talking about the mutated zombie species he saw, and then Wu Xiaotian introduced the mutated trees he saw, and introduced the effect of the sap of the mutated tree.

  Only then did Du Ziteng break out in a cold sweat and look at Wu Xiaotian with sympathy.

  "My luck is good, since I can transform, I've been hunting ordinary zombies, and I haven't encountered many mutated ones!"

  Du Ziteng's words made Wu Xiaotian helpless.

  "You're really lucky, by the way, tomorrow we'll go to the riverbank and get some variant tree sap, let's see if it works for you." Wu Xiaotian ignored Du Ziteng's sympathetic gaze and continued: "Now we are all Evolvers, but the way of evolution may be the same. By the way, when you killed the zombies, did you see black evolutionary energy?"

  "No, I've killed less than a thousand zombies, only around nine hundred, but none of them had the evolution energy you mentioned. However, when I kill those mutated beasts and eat the gemstones inside their heads, I can evolve. I used to be over 3 meters tall, but after evolving, I'm now over 4 meters tall, all thanks to eating these 'magic cores'."

  Du ZiTeng's answer left Wu Xiaotian completely baffled, muttering to himself: "Could it be that everyone's path of evolution is different?"

  "Who cares? We may have evolved differently, but we're all the lucky ones chosen by heaven. These abilities allow us to survive in this damned post-apocalyptic world!"

  Du Ziteng just said a casual sentence and Wu Xiaotian stopped worrying about this matter.

  The two men raised their cups and drank heavily, but Wu Xiaotian seemed to have forgotten something.

  At this time, Du ZiTeng's words made Wu Xiaotian extremely happy.

  "By the way, I found a Tang knife at the scene where I saved you, is it yours?"

  "Yes, I thought you didn't bring it back." Wu Xiaotian replied with a smile: "That's the weapon I brought from home. If you hadn't taken it back, I would have had to go look for it!"

  "Your Tang sword is really sharp, it directly cut through the skin of my White Tiger True Body. How do you plan to compensate me?"

  "I'll help you find a white tiger!" Wu Xiaotian's response left Du Ziteng speechless.

  "Alright, let's not drag this out any longer. Chimney, what do you plan to say to me?" Du Ziteng didn't want to dwell on the Mother White Tiger matter anymore and directly asked.

  "Originally, I wanted to go directly to the Huangtupo auto market to get a rear-wheel drive vehicle and then head straight to Yanjing. But now I've changed my mind. We have the ability to survive and live well, but what about our friends? They may have turned into zombies or might still be alive, waiting for our rescue. Why don't we split up and search separately?"

  "Good", Du Ziteng conveyed a consenting voice and raised a question.

  "But I have two concerns. Firstly, both of us are currently capable of escaping from the siege of ordinary zombies, but what about the people we rescue? If they have the ability to survive, that's fine, but if not, it would be like leading them out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth. Secondly, Spring City is neither big nor small, so how can we quickly provide relief?"

  But Wu Xiaotian already had the answer, "First question, we can find two larger cars and then modify them to let them hide inside, as long as they don't bump into mutated zombies, it should be fine. Second, you go to Nancheng, I'll go to Beicheng, people from Nancheng you put them in your home, people rescued from Beicheng put them in my home, then the two of us will meet again and head to Yanjing together."

  "Alright, let's do it!" Du Ziteng thought it was feasible, and the two of them came to an agreement with a single clap. After finalizing their plan, they didn't bother about the mess on the table and each returned to their room to prepare.
