Warning: Mention of cannibalism

Since then, Dou Heng's days had been quite calm and everyone was shocked by his thunderous skills. The perverts from before that had been aroused by him were s.a.d.i.s.tic in nature and most of them appeared strong but were actually weak. Seeing him not being easy to step on and seeing they were more likely to incur a big loss, they naturally stopped playing that boring game.

Not long after that, Lemur, the leader of the fifth ability user group, suddenly died of a serious illness, but the cause of death was strange. However, during the apocalypse, there was no such thing as police or forensic doctors. Such incidents were basically managed by no one. In addition, this place originally was a prison for those with heavy sentences. It had gathered more than half of the mob of Country C. Their att.i.tude towards death was quite indifferent. As a result, Lemur had been quickly forgetten and his position was quickly replaced by someone with outstanding ability.

Time flew and Long Snake Island seemed as calm as before, but some people's lives had dramatically changed. These people chose to betray Bao Long and join Tan Mingyuan and his party.

Tan Mingyuan's fate was rough and he took a lot of detours and finally committed a felony and became a prisoner. When he was young, his grandmother had told him his fortune, telling him that the first half of his life would be turbulent and the second half of his life would still be turbulent, but with the help of a n.o.ble person who had the blessing of heavens, he would be able move away from danger and return to a peaceful life. He would then do something great in the future.

When he joined the underworld, Tan Mingyuan used this fortune to encourage himself and secretly sought wealth and danger. When he was arrested and sent to prison for the first time, he comforted himself with this fortune. Would peaceful and prosperous road come sooner or later? The last time he had been arrested and sentenced to prison, he cursed his dog s.h.i.+t destiny. And then, the apocalypse happened, the whole world seemed as if it will perish and he no longer believed in fate.

But since joining Young Master Gong's team, he remembered the old lady's words at that time and he felt a sense of 'as it should be'. It turned out that his fortune and life was not bad, but that this n.o.ble person came too late. After following Young Master Gong, he finally knew what heavenly blessing was.

Young Master would not hide behind him and let him rush forward to be a cannon fodder. Instead, he would be a soldier and fight alongside them. For their safety, Young Master Gong would use the precious python skin to make armor for them and let them fight in it without any worries and without risking their lives. Young Master Gong would not s.n.a.t.c.h their nuclei or be jealous of their strength, but would often give them high-level nuclei he got while hunting in the hopes that they would be able to keep getting stronger and live well in the apocalypse.

Such a person who paid with their heart and their liver without daring to look at another to compare their strength, if he wasn't his destiny then who was? Thinking of the sentence, 'there will be great achievements in the future', Tan Mingyuan was so enthusiastic that he had become absolutely loyal to Young Master Gong.

Not only did Young Master Gong's strength convince Tan Mingyuan to listen to him, even the people around Young Master Gong also listened to him and thought like Tan Mingyuan. After working with Young Master Gong's team members, he finally knew what real teamwork was like. These people had a detailed division of labor, tacit understanding amongst each other and seemingly no fear but without any stupid heroism. Everyone stood in their own position and played their own unique role and, in exchange, the smallest actions made for the greatest benefit.

Killing, strangling, bombing and then killing them all in one shot, their means of hunting zombies were endless and brutal. After each mission, Tan Mingyuan and his companions felt hearty and refreshed and the nuclei they harvested were several times more than before. Their power levels had also made a qualitative leap.

Have you ever seen zombies being afraid of humans? Have you ever seen a zombie run away from a human? Tell you what, this group had and it was a refres.h.i.+ng and alternative experience! Tan Mingyuan, who had quietly promoted to third-level low-grade in just two months, felt very restricted and wished to go dig a hole to vent his unspeakable hatred.

Every time he saw Bao Long ecstatically look at Young Master Gong and take the remaining two-level high-grade wind system nuclei, Tan Mingyuan despised him even more in his heart and wondered why Young Master Gong had to endure this idiot. How long? As long as Young Master Gong ordered it, he would immediately move to help Young Master Gong solve his problems.

After being held there for nearly four or five months, on the surface, Long Snake Island seemed to have completely absorbed the power of Gong family. In reality, the ability users and ordinary people from the Gong family base silently infiltrated the life of Long Snake Island in every aspect. It was not that they were incapable of a quick and b.l.o.o.d.y crackdown to quickly seize control of Long Snake Island, but it was more that Leader Gong didn't want to sacrifice the lives of the members of his base to fight for power. Human beings faced the threat of zombies outside and must face similar threat inside. This was undoubtedly self-destructive. Therefore, Father Gong chose the method of a peaceful takeover and, little by little, silently changed the status quo of Long Snake Island.

The people who they could draw in, they would almost always draw in, the thugs that they couldn't were evil doers and Father Gong would definitely not let them go as they got ready to conduct a cleansing operation secretly. The strong could have a lofty att.i.tude and certain privileges, but they couldn't rely on their own strength to enslave and kill civilians. This was what Father Gong couldn't tolerate. Whenever Bao Long and Kang Zhengyuan wanted to eat meant, he saw them telling their subordinates to cut a piece of b.u.t.tocks from a civilian and cook it, treating as pigs and dogs to be slaughtered. Sc.u.m like Bao Long and Kang Zhengyuan, it was better for them to die 10000 times.

Seeing that the timing was almost right, Father Gong was about to convene a secret meeting to put the plan in action, but Gong Xiangyi, who had been quiet for a long time, had been very anxious to find him and told him another one of her prophecy.

"Dad, hurry up and ask the wood ability users to ripen and harvest the crops in the farmland. I foresaw that the soil would be completely contaminated by radiation and all crops would rot in a month's time." Gong Xiangyi knocked on the door to his office and cautiously told him.

It was also around this time in her previous life that the soil had gotten more and more polluted and the mutant plants continued to increase. At that time, they were not vigilant. When they then harvested rice two months later, they had found that the grains had turned black and contained toxins. It couldn't be eaten at all and the roots of the vegetables were rotten and mildewed and the fruits produces had a strong rancid smell, which was disgusting.

This mutation set off a wave of panic on Long Snake Island. Kang Zhengyuan and Bao Long were afraid of the insufficient food. They then began to slaughter ordinary people frantically. Marinating their bodies with sea salt to store them as bacon. Blood flowed like river on Long Snake Island and it really became a purgatory on Earth. In the end, Father Gong stepped forward to stop them and saved the rest of the people with the food she had saved with her hard work.

In this life, Gong Xiangyi didn't want to see the tragedy repeat itself, but they had no way to stop the soil pollution in advance. Even if the wood ability users had the power to ripen plants instantly, it was not useful to use it on crops. Due to the severe shortening of the growth cycle, the density of the plants would increase greatly. In the end, vegetables ripened with abilities could be used as a hammer, especially rice grains. One grain was comparable to a steel ball. It would need to be cooked in boiling water for several days and nights. If it isn't boiled, it's hard to mash it into flour and even if it became flour, the dough made didn't steam well and it was more elastic than rubber. Even though tomatoes with their soft flesh could be grown, their juice, affected by the ability users' power, would become slightly corrosive, making it inedible.

Father Gong apparently experimented with it. Hearing her words, he was startled and anxiously asked, "Are you sure? If we use ability to forcefully ripen them, I'm afraid that the crops would not be able to enter anyone's mouth from them being too hard."

"I'm sure, dad. We must move fast. The soil is already contaminated. I'll take you to the farmland to see it later. Now, there's still two months left before the maturity of the rice. The grains will be harder than most other crops, but they can be eaten if we cook them more than once." Gong Xiangyi said resolutely.

"Okay, I'll let everyone know right away. Bao Long and Kang Zhengyuan should also be told. They still have more than 3000 people on their side. Without food, who knows what those crazy b.a.s.t.a.r.ds would do when they get desperate." Father Gong got up and talked while walking.

Gong Xiangyi froze at his words, impressed by her father's vision. Crazy? This adjective was too appropriate for Bao Long and Kang Zhengyuan. He thought of the two serving themselves daily meals of human flesh made her sick.

Bao Long and Kang Zhengyuan also knew that the person named Gong Xiangyi was a 'prophet' and had heard the news from Gong Yuanhang's trustees. They hurried to the farmlands with an att.i.tude of 'waiting to see a good show'.

At that time, Gong Xiangyi was leading Father Gong into the vegetable field and chopped a cabbage with a machete. The outer appearance was green and water and as pleasing in appearance as any other Chinese cabbage, but the black center was an exception and it also exuded a moldy odor. Hundreds of cabbages in this vegetable field were chopped all over and not one had been found intact. In such a situation, even Bao Long, who had been doubtful, knew that it was not good.

Bao Long was a little anxious and went to the vegetable field next door and chopped the cabbages there like a madman. The situation was exactly the same as the others. Kang Zhengyuan also stepped forwards and chopped a few trees. Finally, their faces became as dark as the center of the cabbages. The two calmed down quickly and, after thanking Gong Yuanhang, they called all the wood ability users on the base and asked them to quickly ripen the crops on the field before calling all the ordinary people to harvest it.

Father Gong saw that they had listened to his opinion and his heart settled down a little. While ordering the soldiers to notify the wood-ability users and the people of his base, he walked towards his own farmland.

The soil was contaminated and news that no more food could be planted quickly spread around the base. Panic spread among the crowd. The people were frozen to the spot before bursting into tears. Sooner or later, the despairing thought of starving to death came to their minds and they went to work without any other thoughts.

After hearing the news, Gong Lixin paused for a moment and then quickly returned to reality. Looking at the worried Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran, he whispered and comforted them, "Big Brother Lin, Big Brother Song, don't panic! Without food, we can still go to a Chinese medicine store to search for dried medicinal herbs and I'll make

Bugu Dan

. Although it cannot satisfy our appet.i.te, but it will help us feel full. Also, since there are new mutant plants appearing here and there, there will definitely be varieties suitable for us to eat. We should slowly explore and test them and we will definitely find a solution. It's the so-called road to improvement. This hurdle, we will eventually pa.s.s it."

He said as he slapped the two's backs, pa.s.sing on his firm conviction. Although he was still young, he had already experienced torture and suffering that others couldn't imagine. His heart was like a diamond that had been drenched in the underground magma for hundreds of millions of years. This kind of difficulty, it couldn't shake him at all.

The calmness of the teenager with incomparable confidence made Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran quickly free themselves from their cold despair.

What would they have done without Lixin (Xiaoxin) accompanying them? They definitely wouldn't be able to live a day in this purgatory! The two's secret thoughts coincided with each other and an inexplicable panic filled their hearts. They were even more determined to get the young man's heart.

CrazedCookies: Argh! Why couldnt GX tell Father Gong sooner! I was waiting for the takeover!!!!!!
