Four shifts complete!!! Recommend up, anyone!!

Anyone!!!! ...

Ye Chen looked down at the throng of monsters with cold indifference. "There will be no release for you.

If there is a next time, I will absolutely not be lenient. Besides, there are plenty of Black Snail Bugs in this world; I can just round up another batch." The monsters shuddered involuntarily.

Black." "En? Why?" "Come to the lab tonight," Ye Chen commanded.

The Three-Tailed Silver Dog flinched backward, wary. "What for?" Ye Chen smirked, a playful, chilling expression.

"Since you took the lead today, tonight you get to taste a dose of the delicious serum." The Three-Tailed Silver Dog's entire body prickled with cold, tears streaming down its face. The other monsters nearby watched it with profound sympathy.

Earlier, through consciousness exchange, Little Black had transmitted its experiences, complete with visual records, to them—it had been like watching a movie, intensely real. They now knew exactly what that "delicious serum" was...

Just then, Bai Long and the others emerged from the living room. They stared at the ground littered with zombie corpses, their faces etched with shock.

Then, with difficulty, they turned their heads toward Ye Chen. "These...

were all hunted down by them for you?" Ye Chen nodded. Bai Long and the others felt their vision blur.

Heavens! An entire group of monsters, each possessing the strength of dozens, even hundreds of men, had actually obeyed him obediently, killing 500 zombies and even bringing their corpses here.

Seeing them standing obediently before Ye Chen, as docile as kittens, Bai Long and the others almost suspected they were hallucinating. The way they looked at Ye Chen was utterly strange.

"Start dissecting the zombies!" Ye Chen casually ordered, then looked toward Mo Feng. "There’s an underground garage here, right?" Mo Feng nodded.

"Right behind us." "En, Little Black, you guys sleep in the underground garage tonight. It's still early; you can go out and hunt more monsters.

Don't slack off!" Ye Chen instructed casually. The group of Black Snail Bugs wept, feeling utterly cheated!

Child labor exploitation! Protest?

Under Ye Chen's cold gaze, none dared voice a single complaint. If he decided to "reward" them later with something like the "Flower Burial" or "Moon Dance" serum, that would be tragic.

Watching the monsters trudge away dejectedly, Bai Long and the others were dumbfounded. Ye Chen didn't linger; he turned and walked into his room.

Bai Long and the others dutifully began dissecting the zombie corpses. Looking at the piles of decapitated bodies, despite their terror, they felt an intense excitement.

If they were lucky enough to extract a medium-sized Mutagen, it would be equivalent to two bottles of serum, enough to boost two people's strength! Mo Feng didn't stay long either, heading into the basement to modify the extraction equipment, striving to make its operation even faster.

... Ye Chen lay on the sofa and drifted off to sleep without realizing it.

He only woke up around dinner time. He glanced outside, got up, and walked out.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, a mouthwatering aroma hit him, causing him to pause in surprise. He stepped into the kitchen and saw Bai Long, Mo Feng, and the others all present.

Ye Chen scanned the room, his eyes immediately lighting up. He hurried into the kitchen and saw a beautiful silhouette tending to dishes by the stove, a slight dimple showing on her cheek, a smile gracing her lips.

Ye Zhu turned around and saw Ye Chen. She smiled faintly.

"You're awake. I was just about to finish cooking and call you." Ye Chen glanced at her, concerned.

"Are you feeling better? Do you feel unwell at all?" Ye Zhu giggled and shook her head.

"Don't worry, I'm sturdy. I won't be ill." Ye Chen smiled.

That evening, under the soft glow of the lights, at the dinner table, Ye Chen kept serving dishes to Ye Zhu, mindful of her recent recovery, while Bai Long boasted loudly, embellishing his stories. Yue Heng threw in a sarcastic jab every now and then.

Mo Feng ate expressionlessly, like a machine, and left as soon as he finished. Zhuge Fan, his face alight with excitement, felt the joy of belonging here, momentarily forgetting the pain of losing his home.

He kept listening to Bai Long’s bragging, laughing heartily at times. ...

In a building near the research institute. The light was dim.

Seven or eight people sat together—some elderly, some women, and even a child. There were only three adult men, clearly a very fragile survivor group.

The group sat under the weak light, with only bread left in their hands. One piece each, accompanied by a cup of cold boiled water.

After silently finishing their meager rations, they exchanged glances, then fell silent, drifting off to sleep one by one. Only a teenager remained awake to take the night watch while the adult men slept, conserving their strength.

... The next day, Ye Chen instructed Little Black to wake the 68 Black Snail Bugs and send them out to hunt zombies, bringing the kills back to the institute.

He, meanwhile, took his sister Ye Zhu and the others out to hunt zombies themselves. Since the Superman Mode could now be activated, Ye Chen's courage had grown considerably.

With his current strength of 41, activating Superman Mode boosted him to 820! He was virtually invincible at this stage!

He could even dodge and catch bullets, only truly threatened by high-caliber technological weaponry. Ye Chen led his group weaving through the streets.

Little Black did not leave; it always followed behind them, acting as a bodyguard. After all, with 68 Black Snail Bugs currently hunting for him, Little Black wasn't strictly necessary.

"Roar!" Several zombies rushed out from a nearby building. Ye Chen didn't even spare them a glance.

Bai Long and the others behind him had already charged forward, slaying them! In the past, Bai Long, Yue Heng, Zhuge Fan, and the others couldn't face zombies head-on; they could only hide behind the others, feeling like a burden.

But now, upon seeing zombies, they charged forward excitedly, violently hacking them down, as if they had accomplished a great feat, feeling utterly exhilarated. "Help—" Suddenly, a desperate cry rang out from ahead.

Ye Chen and the others startled, then rushed over, only to see seven or eight people in a small alley, standing back-to-back in a tight circle, while four zombies pressed in from outside. "Xu, Little Xu, what's wrong?

Open your eyes!" A girl's heartbroken weeping sounded. In the besieged circle, a girl in a T-shirt and jeans held a boy whose chest was pierced clean through; he clearly had no chance of survival.

Also within the circle were an elderly man, his face heavy with grief. The circle itself was formed by three adult men and one woman.

This woman wore a camouflage top, her figure graceful, with bare, long, beautiful legs beneath denim shorts. She gripped a large machete and, in the confrontation with the zombies, showed no weakness compared to the other three men, appearing remarkably calm.

"I didn't expect four zombies to be in this small alley!" one man said, his face ashen. "Too bad we don't have a pistol; this would be much easier to solve.

Damn it." "Stop talking, A'Ling, watch out!" As they spoke, one man’s arm was raked by a zombie, tearing off a large piece of flesh. Ye Chen's group had all undergone physical enhancements, so their vision was far superior to these people's.

They saw the scene from afar, while the besieged group hadn't noticed Ye Chen and his companions yet. Ye Chen stared for a long moment, his brow slowly furrowing.

He murmured, "Bai Long!" Bai Long glanced at him, understood immediately, gripped his fire axe, let out a low roar, and charged forward. Now possessing the strength of 11, he reached the group in a few blinks.

His axe flashed like lightning, felling the four zombies in just a few swings. The four people forming the defensive ring stared blankly at Bai Long, who had suddenly appeared and so swiftly dispatched the zombies.

They could hardly believe what they were witnessing was real, their eyes wide open. "Heh heh..." Bai Long struck a handsome pose, completely ignoring the three adult men, and smiled flirtatiously at the woman in camouflage.

"Beautiful lady, do you have time? Let's find a quiet place to discuss life in depth." "Discuss your life!

All you know is chasing skirts!" Yue Heng walked up from behind and scolded him irritably. Ye Chen and the rest of the group also approached.

The woman in camouflage and the others stared at Ye Chen's group, dazed and confused. After a pause, they snapped back to attention, exclaiming in pleasant surprise, "Are you survivors too?

A small team?" Bai Long nodded and smiled. "That's right!" The woman in camouflage stepped forward.

"Hello, my name is Xi Xiang. I'm the captain of this little team!" Saying this, she extended her hand toward Bai Long for a shake.

Bai Long, naturally, didn't refuse, grinning broadly. "I'm Bai Long, also known as the dashing, suave, and handsome Little Bai Long.

You can call me Long Long, or even Bai Bai." "Ugh!" Yue Heng leaned against the wall, making a gagging sound. Ye Chen and the others' mouths twitched slightly, especially Mo Feng, whose face remained expressionless, but several veins bulged visibly on his forehead...

Xi Xiang looked at the group before her with a stunned, somewhat awkward expression. Just then, crying erupted from behind them.

Everyone quickly looked back and saw that the young man had stopped breathing. A beautiful, delicate girl collapsed over him, weeping uncontrollably.

The entire group fell silent. Bai Long coughed dryly.

"How did you run into these zombies?" Xi Xiang sighed, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed. "We thought there were no zombies in this alley, so we walked in, and suddenly these four rushed out." "Ah, but thankfully, you ran into us.

You’re safe now." Bai Long sighed softly and patted her shoulder in comfort. This gesture caught Yue Heng's eye, who immediately grumbled under his breath.

"What a slut!" "Taking advantage of the situation!" Yue Heng and Zhuge Fan looked at Bai Long with disdain. "And what about you folks?" Xi Xiang quickly suppressed the sorrow in her eyes.

She didn't want others to see her grieving, as she didn't want to pass that sorrow on. She looked up, forcing a bright smile, and asked curiously, "You killed those powerful zombies so quickly; you are truly mighty!" Bai Long grinned proudly.

"Not so, not so. In truth, I only used about a tenth of my strength just now." Yue Heng and Pig Brother Fan rolled their eyes simultaneously.

"Beautiful lady, where are you planning to go next?" Bai Long asked casually, pretending to be nonchalant. Xi Xiang sighed.

"I don't know. The whole world is filled with monsters now; there's no safe place.

What about you? Where are you headed?" She tried not to sigh, but it escaped her.

The world is so vast, yet there is no place to shelter! What profound sadness this was.

Bai Long scratched his head. "That, you’ll have to ask our captain.

Wherever he goes, we go." "Captain?" Xi Xiang's eyes showed a flicker of surprise. In the apocalypse, strength dictated respect; whoever was strongest became the leader.

In her own team, because she had attended the police academy and possessed more experience and insight than ordinary people, she had become the captain. This handsome man before them, who had just dispatched four zombies so swiftly, wasn't the captain?
