Sunnyshies: Thank you Gofa for the kofi! Happy 2022 everyone!! ♡(˃͈ દ ˂͈ ༶ )

Oh yeah, our the chapter title, 人体能量核- /Réntǐ néngliàng hé/ -Human Ability/ Energy Core/Nucleus. So let’s called it Ability Core from now on. Core not nucleus, since its in the stomach not the head. 

Here’s the chapter, enjoy!

It’s just that for so long, they’ve seen a lot of survivors and all kinds of mutants, but apart from the heavenly defying, newly born, Xiao Liang Si, they really haven’t seen a mutant with the same level as them.

The level of him and Li Zhen increased quickly because of the space in his neck. The Spiritual Lake has merged with so many crystal nuclei, and it has completely restored its power it had when they first opened it. It has become clearer and more concentrated as the number of crystal nuclei they have collected has increased.

In addition, Fang He and Li Zhen can also practice cultivation method in the space. That cultivation method can restore and upgrade their abilities very well, so it is inevitable that their ability level is high, but the one upstairs is similar to their level, so could there by any special way to increase the level? 

However, Fang He felt killing intent before. Fang He’s cat paws waved away the zombies that came over again, then he turned to look at Li Zhen, “Go up and take a look?”

Li Zhen nodded, “Be careful, after going up, don’t be reckless.”

The barbs on Fang He’s cat paws stretched and retracted, “No, no.”

Then, one person and one cat went deep into the hospital, while cleaning the zombies around the hospital.

Compared with the previous county hospital that was occupied by a plant mutant zombie, this hospital was much larger, and there were more zombies in it.

Fang He stood on the handrail wall of the hospital, poking out the crystal nucleus of a zombie that he had just killed with a wind blade. He stretched out his cat paw and grabbed it, then he watched it gradually melt into the space, and then he looked at Li Zhen, who was still fighting over there, “The crystal nuclei of the zombies inside here are much more solid than the ones inside the heads of the zombies outside.”

Li Zhen nodded. Not only that, the attack power of these zombies has also become stronger, but Fang He is fast and agile, and the attacks of these zombies couldn’t fall on his body, so he just didn’t notice it.

Fang He excitedly continued rushing in, and he shouted as he rushed, “Then we will clear the zombies inside the hospital first and for every place that we go to in the future!” 

Killing zombies is the same. The zombies in this hospital were killed, giving Fang He a feeling of slaughtering a fat sheep. When he thought of the power of the Spiritual Lake in their space becoming more and more condensed, Fang He felt he was on full strength when fighting.

Li Zhen glanced at the kitten, who rushed into the group of zombies and got more and more excited, and secretly blessed Fang He with some shielding power.

Fang He, who had only heard a lot of theoretical knowledge in the laboratory but had little experience, remembered something only when he got to the third floor. He rushed to Li Zhen’s shoulder, and talked with Li Zhen, “After the end of the world, many hunting team dare not enter the hospital easily. It is like a zombie’s nest. Although its not the place with the highest number of zombies, it still has a relatively large density. The zombies here transformed early, and the zombies here have already evolved by the time people really started fighting them.”

Li Zhen reached out and ruffled Fang He’s ears, “Doesn’t He-miao think this statement has a loophole?” 

Fang He squinted his eyes and looked at the zombies coming by the stairs on the fourth floor. He waved his cat paw over and asked, “What loophole, this is the experience passed down by everyone in the apocalypse. Early on, many hunter teams went into the city to collect medicines, and many of them suffered losses in the hospital. Later, the hospital became a place of fear. Hunters prefer to go to pharmacies or pharmaceutical factories and other places to take their chances.

Li Zhen nodded and turned to the fourth floor with Fang He, “I agree with the nest’s statement.”

“No, so many zombies gathered, what is it if not a nest.”

This is true. Fang He watched Li Zhen waved his palm over and blast a few zombies, who attacked. But he always feels that what Li Zhen wants to say is a bit scary, “What do you mean?”

Li Zhen glanced at the fifth floor, and explained to Fang He, “The hospital should not only be a place where zombies gather, but also a place where there are relatively more mutants.”

The county hospital they went to before had a perverted plant mutant zombie, but obviously there’s none here. Then why are there no other mutants here? This place is not too close to the temporary base, but not too far. Why did the mutant or the survivor from here not go there?

“You mean, either there is an extremely powerful zombie here, or…” Fang He quickly understood what Li Zhen meant. 

Li Zhen glanced at Fang He and nodded, “Or, there shouldn’t be only one mutant above.”

Fang He looked at the corridors without any lights after the night fell. Li Zhen’s conspiracy remarks evoked some bad memories of Fang He.

“He-miao?”

Fang He waved his cat paw and shook his head, then he put his own thoughts aside. That kind of practice in the laboratory is what people do when they’re driven mad, and it’s only this time now, no one should be doing that. 

“It’s okay, let’s go.” Fang He rushed to the top of the stairs.

While cleaning the zombies on this floor, one person and one cat were collecting some medical supplies.

When they went to the ninth floor, they finally met the first mutant zombie. It was actually a zombie with mutated hair. Fang He looked at the hair that he had cut several times, but it just grew out indefinitely. His startled fur exploded, and he hurriedly fell on Li Zhen’s shoulders. This disgusting thing, just let Li Zhen deal with it.

This mutant zombie is not very strong, but it’s very difficult to deal with. Its curling hair is everywhere, making people very uncomfortable. Li Zhen directly locked the little shallow consciousness of the mutant zombie, and crushed its head. 

Fang He looked at the hair falling from the sky, and his whole cat is not good. His cat paws held Li Zhen’s head, and rubbed against Li Zhen’s neck hard.

Li Zhen patted him soothingly on the back and quickly walked to the tenth floor.

As soon as Fang He lifted his head from Li Zhen’s neck, his eyes opened wide when he saw the empty corridor on the tenth floor, “How come there are no zombies?”

Li Zhen reached out and stroked Fang He’s back, saying comfortingly, “Let’s just say that the mutant up there is getting weirder and weirder.” 

Above the tenth floor are all inpatient departments. Fang He looked at the nurse’s station on the left opposite the stairway, which was full of scattered things, but there’s no single zombies here. Then, Fang He looked at the closed door of the ward, “Could it be all inside?”

Li Zhen shook his head, he felt that there were no zombies inside, “Empty.””

The upper three floors are all weird, they’re all without zombies. Li Zhen vaguely guessed the ability of the living mutant above. Li Zhen lifted Fang He’s tail and said, “It’s a psychic mutant.”

Fang He was still considering whether to open the doors of the wards to see. Maybe Li Zhen’s guess is wrong. But after hearing Li Zhen’s words, Fang He suddenly raised his head, no wonder. Maybe this mutant drove away all the zombies around, which is why there are no zombies on these floors.

Fang He’s cat paws stepped on Li Zhen’s shoulder. There’s still half a floor, before reaching the floor where the mutant was. Fang He stretched his head and approached Li Zhen, “I suddenly had a bad idea.”

Li Zhen turned his head to look at him, “Speak out and I’ll listen.” 

Fang He looked at the bleak staircase, “This mutant’s level is so high, I think it’s likely to be related to those missing mutants.”

“You want to say that they have been controlled by him as a puppet? Don’t worry, my ability is not worse than him.” Li Zhen touched Fang He’s cat paw comfortably.

Fang He shook his head, “They might…”

Fang He looked at the figure that appeared at the entrance of the stairs and suddenly closed his mouth. The barbs on his cat paws emerged and scratched Li Zhen, hinting him to be on guard. 

Li Zhen nodded slightly and looked at the person at the top of the stairs. The light was very dim, but it did not affect Fang He to see clearly the appearance of this person. He was wearing a clean white lab coat, with a pair of rimless glasses. He stood at the stairway, just looking at Li Zhen.

Fang He’s cat paws gripped Li Zhen’s clothes tightly and stared at the man closely.

It’s merely just a glimpse, that person suddenly retreated. This weirdness made Fang He crouch down and the fur on his body exploded.

“He-miao, you stay here first. I’ll go up and take a look.” Li Zhen stretched out his hand to hold Fang He on the handrail of the stairs, and said quickly. 

“How can that be!” Fang He glared and lowered his voice, “He’ll be against you!”

“He has already used his psychic ability against me. Good boy, I will go up with him first to explore the situation.” Li Zhen lowered his voice and spoke quickly.

Fang He immediately understood what Li Zhen meant and nodded, “He must not have good intentions, be careful!”

Li Zhen stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, and then he walked up the stairs step by step as if he had lost his soul and was controlled. He walked to the top of the stairs with the door open. 

Fang He’s cat paws silently followed behind. His black figure is not easy to follow in the dim corridor, so he follows Li Zhen not too far away.

Then he saw Li Zhen turned a few corners and walked into the ward inside the innermost part of the corridor.

Fang He silently followed, then he squatted outside the door to guard. The voice from the inside came faintly, Fang He immediately pricked his ears and listened carefully.

“You can call me Dr. Wei,” an unfamiliar voice rang out, then he spoke with some embarrassment, “I’ve been out of water here for a long time, my throat is dry, so let me moisten my throat first. ” 

Then, Fang He heard the sound of Dr. Wei drinking water. But the sounds he hears seem sticky and greasy, not as clear and fresh as when you usually drink water, giving Fang He a feeling that this person is drinking something sticky.

“I like to talk to people, but it seems like none of you like to listen. But it doesn’t matter, you’ll get used to it slowly, just like they do.”

Then, Fang He heard a rustling sound, and then Dr. Wei suddenly screamed, “You are not controlled!”

Fang He immediately kicked open the door and rushed in, and he was almost astonished by the situation inside the room. At this time, in the luxurious ward, the space inside is not small. And in this not-so-small space, there were more than two dozen people standing against the wall. It looked eerie and terrifying under the sight through the window. 

At this time, in the open space in the middle, Li Zhen was resisting several mutants, who attacked him, and the man who claimed to be Dr. Wei started at Li Zhen fiercely. When he saw Fang He coming in, he just glanced coldly, then frowned. He obviously didn’t put the kitten that came in suddenly in his eyes.

Fang He narrowed his eyes, and fiercely swung his cat claws, tearing half of Dr. Wei’s leg, who was about to control Li Zhen again.

Unfortunately, this Dr. Wei dodged so fast, or Fang He’s claw could split his whole person into two.

However, with a weird smile on his face, the doctor Wei slowly recovered his bloody legs, and looked at Fang He gloomily, “A kitten actually has supernatural powers!” 

Fang He looked at Dr. Wei defensively, and suddenly felt a powerful psychic ability attacking him. He just felt dizzy before his eyes, and then he recovered.

“Why?” Dr. Wei looked at Fang He in surprise. His ability has never failed, and and it actually did not work twice in a row?!

Fang He slumped his mouth in disdain. He had considerable confidence in Li Zhen. With Li Zhen around, could this Dr. Wei succeed? What a joke!

This was just a moment’s effort. Li Zhen had already thrown off the three mutants who had surrounded him. Fang He rushed to Li Zhen’s shoulder, then lowered his head and approached Li Zhen, while looking at Dr. Wei with a little disgust, as if looking at a dead thing. This person must die, “He upgraded by eating ability cores inside the human body!” 

Li Zhen also saw, before this man drank human blood!

Hearing Fang He speak, Dr. Wei stared at the kitten squatting on Li Zhen’s shoulder, “Your ability is beastification? Interesting! You two are very powerful, how about following me?”

“I, pei!” Fang He looked at him coldly, “The fundamental thing for mutants is the ability core in their bodies. When a person dies, the ability core will disappear. You actually dissected out the ability core of a mutant alive in order to enhance your ability, you are really worse than a pig or a dog! How dare you call yourself a doctor!”

Fang He has been detained in the laboratory for 13 years, so he has naturally seen this kind of thing. His own ability core was also dug out, but because of his super self-healing ability, after a year, it has grown again. However, ordinary mutants will gradually die of exhaustion once the ability core is dug out. 

This Dr. Wei suddenly laughed, “My name is Wei Yisheng, but I am not a kind doctor. The abilities of the two of you are not low, you must have raised it this way too. So don’t pretend to be so kind.”

Fang He cat paws stepped on Li Zhen’s shoulder and lowered his voice and said, “A person who consumed ability cores to enhance himself has a weakness in his lower abdomen, since he sends this power to his lower abdomen.”

The ability core in the human body is not that delicious. This method of leveling up is fast, but it still has a sequel. The weakness lies in the ability core in the lower abdomen. An ability core that had been forcibly enhanced its power will greedily absorb power This madman, Wei Yisheng, just wait for your body to explode and die!
