Chapter 672: 361 Something’s Not Quite Right_2

The wind aided the blaze, and as the flames spread across the sky, more zombie birds were engulfed, burning into charred husks. Meanwhile, the tornado controlled by Fang Yuyang continuously sucked in the nearby zombie birds.

With a Wind Ability User in control, there was no concern that the burning flames might suddenly plummet from the sky. With their close cooperation, this terrifyingly large group of zombie birds was completely eradicated by Fang Yuyang and his team. One of the zombie bird leaders tried to escape amid the chaos but was mercilessly pursued and torn apart by Wujin.

After everyone cleaned up the battlefield, they realized it was only one o’clock in the afternoon, less than an hour had passed since they had discovered the zombie beast group!

Having eliminated the zombie bird group, everyone was thoroughly exhausted, especially the Wind, Fire, and Ice Ability Users, all too weary even to lift a finger. Once the crisis was resolved, they took out their Crystal Cores and began absorbing them.

Shang Jinxiu originally planned to cook for the group but had to stop due to the arrival of the zombie beasts. Now, seeing everyone exhausted, she decided to continue cooking, preparing a sumptuous feast to reward everyone.

Lunch was quickly prepared, but after the recent tough battle, everyone was drained of energy, and the meal was eaten hastily. After finishing their lunch, they did not dare to linger and hurriedly set off on the road.

They had only just arrived in Long Province and were unfamiliar with the situation there; finding a suitable place to settle down remained a question. To quickly understand the situation in Long Province, finding local survivors was the best option. However, Long Province was simply too vast, and blindly searching was not feasible, so Bai Zhengli proposed that Fang Yuyang help scout ahead.

Fang Yuyang had already achieved Foundation Establishment, roughly equivalent to a Level 4 Superpower User. Moreover, since he followed the path of cultivation, he was far more powerful than an ordinary Level 4 Superpower User. Bai Zhengli felt more at ease asking him to scout ahead, and among all present, no one was more suitable than Fang Yuyang.

Besides, Fang Yuyang had contracted with a Mutant Golden Eagle and could fly directly in the sky; the zombies and mutant beasts on the ground could not harm him. The only concern might come from the zombie birds and Mutated Birds in the sky.

Fang Yuyang had no objections and, with a nod, mounted Wujin and flew out to reconnoiter the nearby area. Fang Yuxin watched him leave and couldn’t help feeling a bit gloomy. She actually had Flying Spirit Artifacts in her space, but those were too high-profile and obviously not things of this world, utterly impossible to use openly.

Bai Ye was paying close attention to her and, seeing her gaze fixed on Fang Yuyang’s departing figure, thought she was worried and approached to console her, "Xinxin, don’t worry, your brother is strong; nothing will happen to him."

Of course, Fang Yuxin knew Fang Yuyang would be fine, but staring at his receding figure, she could not help but be reminded of her past life. The last time Fang Yuyang had left had been like this; as the levels of zombies and mutated creatures continued to rise, she, an Ordinary Person, simply could not adapt.

That time, Fang Yuyang had gone to undertake a highly-rewarded task, and she couldn’t accompany him. She could only watch him depart and anxiously wait for his return in their narrow home. However, what she ultimately received was the news of Fang Yuyang’s death, and she didn’t even get to see his body!

The apocalypse was cruel like that; if someone died during a mission, others would not bring the body back to the family, but rather burn it on the spot to prevent zombification.

So, even though she knew with certainty that Fang Yuyang would be alright now, she still disliked this kind of farewell, which always reminded her of that sad and hopeless past life.

Such thoughts were something Bai Ye could never understand. Seeing Fang Yuxin still seemed worried, he hesitated a moment, then stretched out his hand to lightly pat her shoulder in comfort. Bai Ye wasn’t sure in his heart, but he thought that if Fang Yuxin continued to worry, then he... he would just hug her to offer comfort.

Unfortunately, Fang Yuxin didn’t give him the chance; she quickly pushed those images from her past life out of her mind and began earnestly surveying their surroundings.

The convoy traveled along the main road, not moving fast as they were waiting for Fang Yuyang. About half an hour later, he returned. Fang Yuxin caught sight of him and subconsciously scanned him up and down, confirming he was unharmed and her heart instantly relaxed.

Bai Zhengli was eager to ask, "How did the recon go? What’s the situation in the vicinity?"

Fang Yuxin handed over a bottle of water, and after Fang Yuyang took a sip, he reported, "I checked around nearby, the villages have all been ravaged, looks like the work of mutant beasts or zombie beasts. I found two small bases that have been destroyed, with no survivors inside. There are many mountains around here, so there should be plenty of wildlife as well, wreaking havoc."

Bai Zhengli nodded in understanding, not suggesting that they inspect the two destroyed bases. Since the places were already ravaged, any survivors there would have either left or been killed; there was no third possibility. In such a case, visiting those two bases would be fruitless and would only add to their sorrow.

As a result, the convoy continued on, with Fang Yuyang scouting ahead at each place they arrived to assess the situation before deciding whether to stay. On the second day of entering Long Province, not long after Fang Yuyang had left, a Mutated Falcon suddenly flew overhead. The Mutated Falcon circled above them once before abruptly flying away.

Fang Yuyang watched the falcon’s receding figure intently, feeling that something was not quite right. (To be continued.
