“You actually know about the crater?” Wei Panjiang looked at Li Zhen in surprise, “That place has been hidden for a long time, how did you find it?” 

Instead of answering Wei Panjiang’s question, Li Zhen asked directly, “Tell me the size of the meteorite and the time of landing.”

Wei Panjiang scratched his hair, “The landing time was a few days after the outbreak of the zombie virus. At that time, the base wasn’t officially established yet. I really don’t know the size, I haven’t seen it, but the crater should be about 20 meters in diameter.”

Fang He thought for a while, the crater they went to before seemed to be bigger than that, and turned to look at Li Zhen, “Can you estimate the size of the meteorite? Is it smaller than the previous one?”

Li Zhen nodded, “It’s much smaller than our previous one, but small doesn’t mean less energy.” 

Fang He took a deep breath, and his face was a little heavy.

Wei Panjiang dug out a small hole in the armrest of the chair with his fingertips, then he closed his eyes and slowly said, “They recruited people to restore the landscape that day. There were about a dozen mutants with wood type, plant type, and earth type abilities, and it took three days to complete. Then, except for me and my grandfather, I’ve never seen those people again. I guess they are either working for the laboratory or have become experimental subjects.”

No matter which one they had become, it was not good news. Fang He clenched his hands.

Li Zhen reassuringly  held Fang He’s hand and looked at Wei Panjiang, “We have to deal with the laboratory. For safety’s sake, I will erase your memory of us when I treat you, sorry.”

Wei Panjiang was stunned, then he discovered that he was completely unable to move. While shocked by Li Zhen’s powerful ability, he lamented the fact that Li Yue’s younger brother and his abilities weren’t ordinary. He has never seen anything like this, not to mention he didn’t even feel the slightest fluctuation of ability.

It was just that Wei Panjiang roared loudly after hearing what Li Zhen had said, “Who said I don’t want to deal with the laboratory? I have been preparing for this for more than half a year! Try erasing my memory if you dare!”

Li Zhen frowned slightly, but didn’t let go of the restriction on Wei Panjiang, “Fine, I won’t erase your memory, stay focused, I want to remove the last bit of mental fluctuations from your consciousness.”

The corner of Wei Panjiang’s lips twitched, then he closed his eyes honestly and let go of his consciousness, letting Li Zhen invade. 

This time, it took a bit longer. Having one’s consciousness invaded was not a good feeling. Fortunately, this person has more morals, and he didn’t run around in his consciousness. Instead, he hit the key points and pulled out the foreign wave of spiritual force from the depths of his consciousness.

When Li Zhen’s mind power retreated, Wei Panjiang was trembling all over. He forcibly suppressed his own power that wanted to burst out, and took a deep breath. Obviously, he felt that he was about to cross the critical point, and hurriedly took out two level 3 wood-type crystal nuclei that he had prepared for a long time, then closed his eyes to quickly absorb the power of the crystal nuclei.

With the passage of time, that vitaly began to fade as the two wood-type crystal nuclei had been absorbed, one  of them even shattered. Li Zhen frowned slightly, “Insufficient power.”

Fang He saw Wei Panjiang’s face distorted in pain, and turned to look at Li Yue, “Sister Li, do you have a wood-type crystal nucleus?”

Li Yue shook her head, “Wood-type crystal nuclei are rare in the first place, not to mention that he needs high-level wood-type crystal nuclei. It took him a long time to get these two, but don’t worry, the failure of advancement will at most waste a bit of energy and waste two high-level crystal nuclei. After some time, he’ll be able to raise it back, it’s not a big deal to do it again.” 

Fang He nodded, but he grabbed Li Zhen’s arm unconsciously as he stared at Wei Panjiang. He still hoped that Wei Panjiang could be promoted successfully. With one more high-level mutant, they would have more power.

Li Zhen’s eyebrow twitched, after being grabbed by a hand. His kitten was actually very nervous about this hairy boy in front of him. He glanced at Wei Panjiang, who was in pain over there, and was a little bit unhappy.

Suddenly, Fang He remembered that his own advancement had been very easy. He never used crystal nuclei, and it was Li Zhen who directly provided him with power, so Fang He looked up at Li Zhen, “Li Zhen, can you give him some power?” 

The corners of Li Zhen’s mouth moved, then he leaned closed to Fang He’s ear, and said through his gritted teeth, “Is He-maio trying to let me and him dual cultivate together?!”

“!” Fang He shook his head suddenly.

“You and I share the same power, that’s why I can only help you, so forget him.” Li Zhen’s scorching breath sprayed on Fang He’s ears, and at that moment, his tender ears suddenly turned red.

Fang He hurriedly pushed him, seeing the vibrant vitality around Wei Panjiang growing faint, he could only feel regret about it. 

Just when Fang He tried to stop caring about it, a sudden thought popped up again. The thirty or so people from the base in X County all had high-level abilities, which certainly had something to do with the water of the Spiritual Lake.  Fang He hurriedly stood up and took out a huge barrel from the space. He filled the barrel with the lake water, then turned to look at Li Zhen and pointed at the barrel and said, “Put him in.”

The corners of Li Zhen’s mouth twitched. That was the barrel of pickled cabbage that they first got in the southern mountain restaurant. It was brought in by Fang He when he was gathering supplies. Originally it was used for storing pickled cabbage, but he didn’t know where Fang He dumped it, and there were still two pickled leaves floating on the surface. But it has to be said that Fang He’s approach should also work. The power of the Spiritual Lake could be absorbed by anyone. Li Zhen stretched out his hand and put Wei Panjiang into the barrel.

As soon as Wei Panjiang entered, the vitality became stronger again. When Panjiang’s level advancement was completed, the water containing spiritual energy in the barrel had been absorbed cleanly, and the pickled lives hanging on Wei Panjiang’s shoulders actually turned from yellow to green, as if it was just freshly picked, plump and bright. 

“A level 3 wood mutant that can revitalize?” Fang He was surprised.

Wei Panjiang threw the vegetable leaves on his shoulders aside, he stepped out of the barrel and said triumphantly, “It can bring plants back to life, and it also has some healing effects, but compared to healing ability, it’s still relatively mild.”

Wei Panjiang shook the water on his body, and suddenly felt that the taste of the water was a little strange. He raised his arm and smelled it, it had a faint sour taste, then turned his head to ask Fang He, “What kind of water is this?”

Fang He immediately changed the subject, “You said that you have been preparing to deal with the laboratory for a long time. What have you prepared?” 

Wei Pajiang’s wood attribute was not afraid of water, and it didn’t matter if his clothes were wet. He sat on the chair, and with his advancement, he seemed more confident. He looked at Fang He and said, “And what have you prepared? You’ve only been at the base for three days, what can you do with just the two of you?”

Two people? Fang He remembered his followers, as well as Li Zhen’s group of mutant zombies. There were many of them, but they haven’t called them yet, or they cannot be called. Currently, there were only two of them, he and Li Zhen, plus Zombie Xiao Sang and Xiao Baiqui.

Wei Panjiang leaned back on the seat, “Look, there are hundreds of people in my Panjiang team, and more than half of them are mutants, and now there are two level 3 mutants; Li Yue and me, so you should just join my team, and I’ll take full command against the laboratory.”

Li Yue was teasing Xiao Liang Si to the side, and when she heard Wei Panjiang’s words, she glanced at him, “I’ll follow my brother, don’t count me in.” 

Wei Panjiang smiled and did not refute her, “How about it? Are you joining Panjiang?”

Wei Panjiang asked Fang He. He could see that although Fang He seemed to be weaker, Li Yue’s younger brother would still listen to what he said.

Fang He shook his head, “We have our own team.”

Wei Panjiang laughed even louder, “I know, didn’t you just set up an E-level team with only one person? You also spent all your savings and took on an impossible SSS-level mission, which has become a joke in the base.” 

When Wei Panjiang said this, he was a little puzzled, a team of one person...

Needless to say, this Wei Panjiang, although he was very straight forward, the way he spoke made Fang He want to kick him every minute. Fang He looked at Wei Panjiang, while gritting his teeth, “How about making a deal? If we can complete the mission within three days, this Panjiang team of yours will be included in our team, and you will honestly call me big brother!”

“Ok! When the time comes, I will also tell you my plan and all, just in case you don’t have that ability.”

Wei Panjiang shook off the doubts in his heart and looked at Fang He and declared. 

Fang He turned around and dragged Li Zhen away. Before going out, he turned his head and said to Wei Panjiang, “Forgot to tell you, it’s a big barrel of pickled cabbage. It’s just that the pickled cabbage inside has been sour for almost half a year, so I threw it away. It’s a pity to throw away the big tank, so I used it just for you.”

Wei Panjiang suddenly felt that the sourness on his body was quite different. What does a sour pickled cabbage taste like, vomit…

Seeing Wei Panjiang’s disgusted expression, Fang He grinned, revealing two sharp kitten teeth.

Li Zhen chuckled, he squeezed Fang He’s waist, and spoke to Li Yue, who stood up, “We’ll be back soon.” 

Li Yue hurriedly put Xiao Liang Si in the basket, and stuffed it into Wei Panjiang’s hand, then immediately followed, “I’ll go help.”

Fang He looked at Wei Panjiang, who didn’t dare to move while holding the baby basket, and couldn’t help laughing out loud.

Li Zhen supported Fang He, who was laughing so much he was bending over, and said to Li Yue, “Sister, stay and take care of Xiao Liang Si, we are not in any danger.”

Fang He stopped laughing and added, “Sister Li, we have more than enough people to help, don’t worry.” 

Li Yue nodded, then she abruptly walked into her room and quickly brought back a bag, “There are still some lightning balls here, take them all with you.”

Fang He had almost used up all the previous lightning balls, so he took it over with a smile, “Thank you, Sister Li!”

Fang He and Li Zhen left the Panjiang compound, while grabbing his hat, “I exaggerated. Li Zhen, how should we complete the mission?”

Li Zhen took Fang He and walked in a certain direction, “Let’s go find Wang Che and the others.” 

The thirty or so people from County X did not live together. Li Zhen brought Fang He to find Wang Che, who was with Wei Ziting, and when he was stared at by the two people’s passionate eyes, Fang He felt a little hairy all over.
