Moscow suburbs.
A troop of people was moving forward, led by Kashev.
These past few days,
the team's development had been smooth sailing.
Although the plot of "2012" caused a large amount of supplies to be destroyed, it was impossible for everything to be gone.
Kashev himself was not weak.
Coupled with the global ranking rewards,
his combat power was extremely strong.
He had obtained many crystals by killing zombies.
He was already close to Level 6.
His team members had generally reached Level 4.
Even a few with stronger special abilities had received special training and reached Level 5.
"We're almost at our destination, spirits up!" Kashev waved.
The safe zone was in the center of the capital.
These past few days,
they had been hunting wandering zombies in the capital.
They already had quite a few crystals and were preparing to establish a base.
The target:
Moose Island National Park!
The park was vast and located in the northeastern part of the capital, not far from the city center.
Kashev's idea was simple.
This kind of primitive forest park had very few people.
And fewer zombies.
Similar to the Yanshan Base.
It could be used for offense or defense.
It was the best choice for establishing a base.
Whoosh!
A figure descended from the sky.
This was a team member with flight abilities.
Although they had no combat power, they were best suited as scouts, scouting ahead and on guard.
"Two kilometers to the front left, there are dozens of wandering zombies!"
Kashev was overjoyed.
That was dozens of Level 5 crystals!
With their team's strength, dozens of zombies were easily dealt with.
"Let's go! Take them down!" he ordered immediately.
Soon,
the group saw the pack of zombies.
The zombies roared and lunged forward.
They too hadn't tasted fresh blood in a long time.
Unfortunately,
their opponents were too strong!
Kashev was already close to Level 6, and importantly, his awakening, comprehension, and ranking rewards had given him as many as three special abilities, making him extraordinarily powerful.
It could be said that,
for these forty to fifty zombies, he alone could take down more than half.
The strength difference was huge.
In the initial clash, an incoming charge killed nearly twenty zombies.
Level 5 zombies had high intelligence.
Seeing that they couldn't win,
they turned and fled.
Their escape route was precisely towards Moose Island National Park.
"Chase!"
Kashev shouted.
At this moment,
from the dense forest in the distance, faint sounds of running could be heard.
That sound...
was different from the running of zombies.
"Careful!"
Kashev's pupils tightened, and he motioned for everyone to stop.
"Damn it... what is that?!" The副队长 Oleg exclaimed in horror.
Moose!
Over a dozen moose, five to six meters tall!
Their size surpassed that of African elephants.
Their weight was at least 10 tons!
They looked similar to ordinary moose but had some subtle differences.
Their antlers gleamed with a metallic sheen.
Their mouths were filled with fangs.
Especially their eyes!
Their eyes were blood red.
"Roar!"
The leading bull moose let out a deafening cry.
The next moment,
they charged towards the fleeing zombies with incredible speed.
"Retreat... quickly retreat!" Kashev screamed.
Fortunately,
the fleeing zombies were ahead, making them the moose's primary targets.
Boom!
A zombie was flung into the air by the moose's massive antlers.
Lifting off the ground.
Another moose leaped.
With its maw full of fangs, it tore half of the zombie's body apart.
Chewing.
Swallowing!
The zombies attempted to counterattack.
But they couldn't break through the moose's defenses!
Next,
it was a one-sided slaughter.
Those were Level 5 zombies!
Before the dozen moose, they didn't even have the strength to fight back, and were devoured in an instant.
Crucially,
they had no chance to escape.
The moose were faster than them!
While the moose were hunting zombies, Kashev led his team to escape.
They finally managed to escape.
However, new problems arose.
Where to build the base?
Also,
there was a more fatal problem.
...
—'What new trick is Jin Qian playing this time?'
—'Actually, she's not important. Feng Ge only cares about the big picture, not any one person.'
—'What big picture? Show-off!'
—'Everyone, quickly go and see what's happening with Kashev!'
Blue Star.
Da Xia had billions of netizens, and not everyone only focused on Qin Feng; some also paid attention to other countries.
Seeing someone say this, many netizens switched their streams.
Through Kashev's perspective,
everyone witnessed the moose pack brutally slaughtering zombies.
Returning to the Da Xia livestream,
many people fell silent.
—'Before, zombies were the hunters, and survivors were the hunted. Now, zombies are being hunted.'
—'Has anyone thought about something?'
—'With the start of the new plot, the old balance has been broken!'
Before,
humans and zombies were in conflict.
Both sides were hunters and were hunted by the other.
Now,
various mutated plants and animals had emerged, giving rise to powerful creatures.
Humans,
as well as zombies,
were being hunted by plants and animals!
Especially zombies.
Humans hunt zombies, and plants and animals also hunt zombies.
One thing, whether humans or plants and animals, they could all reproduce.
One side was dying,
while the other was also being born.
And most animals had far greater fertility than humans.
Zombies?
They had no ability to reproduce.
In the plot of "Living Dead Legion," everyone wondered when they could kill all the zombies.
But now, the situation had changed.
Zombies might be the first species to go extinct.
Followed by humans with low fertility.
In the end,
the vast number of plants and animals would completely occupy the post-apocalyptic planet!
...
It wasn't just Moose Island National Park.
Since Blue Star netizens could only watch livestreams through the perspective of adventurers wearing terminals,
they couldn't see many situations.
In fact,
the entire post-apocalyptic planet was experiencing similar events.
A large number of mutated plants and animals were emerging from the deep mountains and forests, beginning to counter-attack humans and zombies.
Humans at least knew to hide.
Zombies were different.
There was no cover in the cities, and they gathered in the thousands, forming legions.
They could be spotted at a glance.
Becoming the easiest targets for hunting.
The South China Sea had no zombies.
Qin Feng couldn't see this scene.
On the first day,
he led his team to familiarize themselves with the new plot in Yanshan.
On the second day, they headed straight for the South China Sea, but stopped at Taiwan Island on the way.
Now it was the seventh day.
After hunting in the South China Sea for five days,
they had reaped a rich harvest.
It was time to go back.
"An Ling, let's go."
Qin Feng jumped onto the back of the Tiger-Headed Sea Eagle, and An Ling also flashed and flew up: "Oa Jian, head north!"
These past few days,
not many crystals had been obtained.
But the quality was very high!
Over a dozen Level 7 crystals and dozens of Level 6 crystals.
It was a pity,
that they hadn't encountered any Level 8 mutated creatures again.
At least at this stage, Level 8 mutated creatures were very rare, at the apex of the pyramid.
"Captain."
Standing on the back of the Tiger-Headed Sea Eagle, An Ling frowned: "The most powerful sea creatures are only Level 7. Isn't it simpler to hunt mutants in the city?"
Sea mutated creatures hid in the deep sea.
They were troublesome to find.
In the city,
the leader of the zombie legion was a Level 7 mutant.
A vast horde, easily spotted from a high vantage point.
"Is it the same?"
Qin Feng took out a Level 7 crystal: "The energy within the crystal of a large mutated creature is comparable to several zombie crystals."
Similarly, for a Level 7 crystal,
the crystals of mutated sea creatures were much larger than zombie crystals.
One was equivalent to several!
There was one more thing he hadn't told An Ling.
Why did he tell the base to hunt mutated plants and animals?
Wasn't killing zombies simpler and more efficient?
In the new plot,
mutated plants and animals were at an advantage.
If they hunted zombies instead of plants and animals, the scales would be severely tipped.
On the other side,
on Qin Feng's way back to the base,
Jin Qian's new plan had also begun to be implemented...
