Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback novel Chapter 261

Chapter 261: 155 Earthquake (First Update)_2

The earth shook for a while and then stopped, a woman said, "Big brother, the earth shook so violently, why is there no movement here? It’s too strange!"

The tall man leading them waited a bit longer and, realizing the earth had not shaken again, said, "It seems there’s nothing to worry about here, let’s go back." After he spoke, he reluctantly shifted his gaze and turned to leave.

The others followed behind him. The woman, feeling unsatisfied, thought about how they had rushed out when the ground first started shaking only to find Bai Ye, concerned about the Fang Family, had specially come over only to discover everything was normal at the Fang’s place, unclear what the people inside were doing.

She felt it was a wasted trip and wanted to comment further, but the person next to her pulled her aside and shook their head disapprovingly.

...

After this earthquake, Fang Yuxin realized that time was pressing, and she needed to strengthen her powers quickly. Fortunately, there was still a week’s time before the mass appearance of the mutated birds, so she still had the opportunity. Starting that day, she went out early with her family members to hunt zombies while gathering as many Elemental Stones as possible.

Angela transformed into the size of a palm and squatted on her shoulder, looking like an utterly harmless little kitten, adorably deceptive. However, once this seemingly small kitten encountered zombies, long and sharp claws would spring out from its paw pads. With a scratch, a Basic-level Zombie’s head had no defense, easily torn open.

Lan Re was a saprophytic plant, to which those disgusting piles of zombies were the best food, especially the Mutant Zombies. Apart from the Crystal Cores in their brains, their bodies also contained energy. While ordinary people couldn’t absorb these energies, Lan Re could devour them.

Three days quickly passed.

The Yongcheng Team always avoided other people, entered the city to hunt zombies and search for Elemental Stones, with Bai Ye taking his team out almost daily to join them. After getting along, the relationship between the two teams had eased considerably.

Mutated plants began to appear successively, growing at a mad rate, in contrast to which, normal plants’ growth seemed suppressed, not only growing extremely slowly but also becoming wilted as if they had lost their vitality.

The number of Level 1 Zombies began to gradually increase, zombies mostly appeared in groups. Ordinary mercenaries could no longer enter the city and were forced to hunt near the Safe Zone; even superpower user mercenaries did not dare to be reckless, generally forming large groups of dozens before entering the city together.

No one was a fool, everyone realized the situation was getting worse.

Those various Safe Zones in the city had become dangerous, and people inside tried everything they could to migrate in groups to the Safe Zones outside the city. Those lucky enough could make it inside alive, but the unlucky ones had already become food for the zombies.

However, everyone knew that the zombies appearing near the Safe Zone were increasing daily, and it wouldn’t be long before the mercenaries might not be able to stop these zombies’ advances, allowing them to reach the Protection Wall. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

At this moment, everyone was sitting on the sofa, with large and small Elemental Stones and storage boxes laid out in front of them.

Fang Yuxin said, "You all are already aware of the situation outside; we’ve almost gathered enough Elemental Stones, and there’s no need to risk going into the city anymore, so starting today, we need to quickly enhance our strength!"

They had enough credit points in their ID Cards, and each person had saved up quite a lot of resources; they didn’t need to worry about food for the time being. The situation outside didn’t need Fang Yuxin to explain; others understood it well. In fact, even if she hadn’t mentioned it, the others would have proposed not to go out for tasks temporarily.

They all noticed that the number of Level 1 Zombies and Mutant Zombies were increasing; almost every Zombie Group was led by either a Level 1 Zombie or a Mutant Zombie. Compared to these monsters, their strength seemed insufficient.

Although everyone from the Fang Family had successfully advanced, Chen Qiao and others were still hovering at the Basic-level Peak. The barrier, though seemingly weak, always seemed unbreakable, which was quite frustrating for them.

So when Fang Yuxin brought it up, everyone visibly relaxed.

Every day fighting zombies outside had kept their nerves on edge, life was simply unbearable! (To be continued.
