A sound of uniform footsteps came from the ground above that even the sound of thunder could not cover it. Liao Fan set his heart to move, but considering that there were too many people above, he couldn’t handle them all at once. So he had to hold back his temper and wait. More than an hour later, two people in the group hid behind a street shop and took out cigarettes wrapped in plastic bags from under their arms, ignited them and began to blow clouds of smoke. Although the weather was very hot today, the temperature would suddenly drop by more than 20 degrees in the event of a thunderstorm. When patrolling under such heavy rain in the night, one really needed to occasionally relax and warm their body. Not to mention that Ningcheng had its natural protection, so the task of patrolling was very easy.

  The captain of the patrol commanded the two to join them soon before taking the others way. The cigarettes were so strong that the two soon felt that their frozen bodies began to heat up making them feel extremely comfortable. They closed their eyes slightly, squatted down on the steps in front of the shop, and enjoyed their cigarettes in small sips, trying to make that comfortable feeling stay longer.

  At that moment, a tall figure emerged silently from the ground behind them, trapped the two into the ground with the flick of his hand. With one blow, Liao Fan made them unconscious before he quickly rummaged over the two’s bodies and turned out four bottles of blue potions. His eyes lit up and he immediately took the things into his luggage behind him.

  He had seen this potion used by Ningcheng’s people a few times before. Sometimes, they drank it by themselves. After drinking it, they transformed into Spartan warriors and were unstoppable. Even the advanced ability users of Liaocheng couldn’t stand against them. Sometimes, they were used on hostile ability users and, when the potion touched them, those ability users would become soft as mud and could only wait to be slaughtered. They were also vicious with it. In order to prevent the spread of the potion to the outside world, even the bodies of the killed ability users were not let go. Venom of mutant spiders were used and melted the remains into a pool of smelly pus on the spot, so that outsiders could not find their bodies.

  Song Haoxuan sent people to rob this magic potion several times. No matter how powerful the ability users were, the ordinary people were good at poisoning would poison them and turn them useless. Now, this kind of medicament was in his own hands and can be handed over to the base’s pharmacist and, after imitating it, would greatly improve the base’s strength.

  Thinking of that, Liao Fan got a little bit excited and couldn’t help but take a deep breath. Then his face went white. He held his breath, just because there was the faint scent of dementia in the air. Although the fragrance was washed away by the rain, but smelling it for a long time would still make people fall into a magical daze and then, he couldn’t help but walk into the flower field, becoming fertilizer to nourish the flower field.

  Speeding up his movement, the two men were scoured all over again to make sure that there was no light green potion that Gong Xiangyi used for him. Liao Fan dared not delay anymore and covered his nose before burrowing into the ground in order to find a few more targets. He didn’t know that Jin Shangyu had improved the vine repellent and made it into a fragrant body pill to be placed in the underarms of Ningcheng people. The fragrance was stable and strong and could last for three days. In this way, even if a careless idiot forgets to spray the potion, they would not be killed by the king kong vine.

  Being able to find the first version of the vine repellent that had not been used up and leave Ningcheng safely with it can only be seen as Liao Fan’s luck.

  Liao Fan’s luck was good and, while he searched the physique of Ningcheng’s people while remaining hidden, he quickly found a guard who left the group and knocked him out. The guard held an unused vine repellent. Having snuck to the suburbs where the guard was, Liao Fan dared not stay in the ground where the roots of the king kong vines were. He found no one outside and drilled out of the ground and saw the scene of the red-stained bloody soil before him.

  This soil was rich in a lot of iron elements, which was a major feature of Ningcheng. The king kong vines loved this kind of soil. Only in this kind of soil could it grow extremely lush and strong, which was also the only reason why the vines took root in Ningcheng, but no longer spread to the surrounding cities. Once the iron in the soil was absorbed, the strength and activity of the vines would be greatly reduced.

  Liao Fan had spent more than ten days in Ningcheng, often sneaking underground to observe the life of the people of Ningcheng. He was shocked by the sturdiness of the people again and again.

  However, now was not the time for envy and jealousy of Ningcheng’s people. As long as these potions were taken away and the secret veil of Ningcheng’s people were lifted, they could live the same life. Thinking of this, Liao Fan duped the potion on himself and flew out of the city at the fastest speed. The rain was too great. If he didn’t leave within the shortest time, the medicine on his body would soon be washed away and he would die without a burial.

  After pouring the potion four or five times in a row, Liao Fan finally left Ningcheng safely. He gasped and turned his head back, trying to see that heart-pounding figure among the green sea. After a while, he wiped off the rain from his face and gritted his teeth as he left.

  Thunderstorm nights was the best time for Song Haoxuan to meditate. When Liao Fan returned to base, he had just finished one night of meditation and was about to fall asleep. Hearing the news, he felt refreshed and immediately went to receive Liao Fan.

  By the time he arrived at the laboratory, his four most powerful subordinates and a group of scientists in white coats had gathered together and were testing the composition of several bottles of blue potion using various intruments.

  “How are the result?” Song Haoxuan walked over and asked one of the scientist.

  “The ingredients of these medicines are very simple, but……”


  “But what? Don’t tell me that you can’t make them! At that time, the pharmacist of the Gong family’s base could improve your disinfectant after a single glance. If you are so incompetent, I will not waste food to feed you.” Song Haoxuan’s tone was harsh and his eyes were like knives as he stared at these scientists.

  For a year, the Gong family’s base firmly established a foothold in the Northeast with their improved disinfectant. If it was not for the Gong family’s base’s extreme exclusion and little contact with the outside world, the C country’s right to speak and make decisions would have already been taken away by the Gong family’s base.

  Perceiving Song Haoran’s killing intent, these scientists’ faces became paler than their lab coats. After gulping hard, the chief scientist had to bite the bullet and finish talking. “The ingredients are simple and can’t be any simpler, but we can’t make it with our ability.”


  “What do you mean?” Song Haoxuan’s face became very ugly.

  “These potions are not that well-made and is even rough, but the processing techniques are beyond our existing technology.” The man in the white lab coat pushed the frame of his glasses up his nose and lifted up the tube with only a few drops left. The scientist said, “This is the pure juice of the king kong vine with no other added ingredients. However, no one in our base can crush the indestructible king kong vine and squeeze out its juices.”


  As soon as he finished speaking, a strange silence enveloped the laboratory. Even Song Haoxuan was speechless. He was now a fourth-level high-grade thunder and fire dual ability user and his combined thunderfire ability can only burn the leaves of the king kong vine and couldn’t even hurt their monstrous vines. If one wanted to crush this kind of plant whose hardness was close to that of zombie’s crystal nucleus, it was necessary for someone with power or metal ability at least at fifth-level or higher. Only Gong Lixin was the number one and only power ability user in this world today.

  Indeed, this kind of potion cannot be copied for the time being, and the plan to break into Ningcheng had to be postponed. Song Haoxuan felt unwillingness in his heart and point to the other four bottles of blue potions. He asked, “What about these potions?”


  Picking up one of the lighter one in colour, the person in a white lab coat explained, “This is the concentrated juice of the dementor. Sprinkling on an ability user can instantly make them lose their ability. However, to make this potion, large number of dementor is needed. Dementor plant can’t be planted on the base, or even around it. I don’t believe I need to explain why, right?”


  The laboratory was so quiet that a falling needle could be heard. The floral scent of dementor was poisonous and had a hypnotizing effect on humans. Planting in such a large quantity in the base was tantamount to self-alienating themselves, but it was also troublesome if they were planted outse the base. As they all knew, there was a strange symbiotic relationship between the dementor plant and zombies. Wherever there was dementor planted, it would definitely attract groups of zombies to wander about. Ningcheng was surrounded by king kong vines, so they don’t fear the zombies smelling them, but Liaocheng couldn’t do that. If they did that, they would surely attract a lot of zombies.

  Therefore, it was completely feasible to make one or two bottles of this blue liquid for self-defense, but it was difficult to equip them one bottle per person as they did in Ningcheng. The person in the white lab coat signed long and low and suddenly thought of something. He looked towards Liao Fan, who couldn’t hide his disappointment on his face, and asked, “The flowers of dementor are poisonous, so why can Ningcheng’s people plant them?”


  “The people of Ningcheng seem to be completely immune to poison. They are not afraid of the poisonous dementor, nor of poisonous mutant animals. I found that they usually even live off of the meat of mutant animals.” Liao Fan said.

  Everyone was horrified when they heard that. Especially the people in the white lab coats. Their whole body shivered with excitement. Grabbing Liao Fan’s sleeve, the scientist asked if that was true. Liao Fan nodded decisively. The scientist gulped and spit out in excitement with trembling words, “If that’s the case, the pharmacist at their base is far above me and has likely already made an anti-zombie drug. The poison can resist poisonous plants and can also prevent zombie infection from zombies and mutant beasts. God! Who is this pharmacist?! They’re a genius! An absolute genius!”


  A group of people in white lab coats all showed their yearning expressions, but Song Haoxuan and the others lowered their faces and their eyes were implicitly vicious and greedy. They must find a way to obtain such an anti-zombie medication and that talented pharmacist must be taken by all means.

  “Liao Fan, you’ve been in Ningcheng for so long, have you seen the pharmacist?” Song Haoxuan turned to look at Liao Fan.

  “I have only seen their assistant from far away, a eighteen-year old girl, but never seen the pharmacist themselves.” Liao Fan shook his head.

  “An eighteen-year old girl?” One of the people in the white lab coat pondered and, after a moment, exclaimed, “That’s not an assistant, that should be the pharmacist herself. Her name is Jin Shanyu and she’s known as a talented girl in medical sciences at the age of fourteen. Except for her, I can’t think of anyone else who can perfect my disinfectant after a single glance.” The other scientists also showed expressions of shock and nodded in agreement.

  “Jin Shangyu?” Song Hoaxuan chewed the name, a dark emotion flickered across his eyes and an idea gradually formed in his mind. After thinking for a moment, he looked at the scientist and pointed at the another bottle of darker blue medicine and asked, “This potion that can make ordinary people transform into ability users, how’s it made?”


  “It should be made by integrating the energy of the crystal nucleus into the blue liquid from before. However, it’s impossible to extract the energy inside the crystal nucleus just by soaking it, otherwise dementor would not give up on the energy-rich food like zombies. I estimate that they would grind the crystal nucleus into powder and soak it into the blue liquid, so that the energy inside can be quickly extracted. This is also impossible for us to do.”


  Song Haoxuan was silent, because of their low strength, they couldn’t do it. If they were as strong as Gong Lixin, they would not be so stumped by a few bottles of potions as they were now.

  With a sneer, Song Haoran waved to Zheng Chaohe, “Go, call the leaders of the other bases. They should be interested in Ningcheng’s intelligence and pharmaceutical ability.”


  Zheng Chaohe promised and hurried away.
