“Kala——”

Nashida closed the ender chest and shook her head at Zhongli behind her:

"I've already informed Qi You that I'm safe, but he didn't say anything more. I don't know if he received our letter."

Zhongli nodded slightly: "Before it landed, there was no trace of the ship. I don't know where he arrived. But Qi You knows this world very well, so there shouldn't be any mistakes."

[Nilu]: "It has to be the Little Grass God! He can even think of this cross-border communication method! So smart!"

[Kavi]: "The purpose of the ender box seems to have been mentioned by Qi You to Little Auspicious Grass King a long time ago. Now that the team has been divided into three teams, this kind of communication method is a bit too practical."

The supplies in the ender box began to increase slowly, and it could be seen that the general and Wendy had successfully returned to the shelter and started moving the supplies.

In this way, you can use so many resources outside, which is equivalent to expanding the backpack slots.

After smashing an ender chest with a Silk Touch pickaxe, Zhongli is seen looking up at his surroundings.

At this moment, the two were in a large and deep basin. There was a thick layer of sand on the ground, which almost completely buried the research institute building in the center.

However, in the pitch-black night, Zhongli could vaguely see it.

At the edge of the basin, several golden-white eyes lit up.

As if they noticed Zhongli's gaze, the zombies shrank back.

[Yan Fei]: "Something's wrong. Shouldn't zombies rush over after seeing their target? Why are they hiding?"

[Paimon]: "It's over! The zombies have become smarter!"

[Yae Shenzi]: "There are quite a few zombies around here, but I don't know if Xiaocaoshen and the others can handle them~"

[Xiao]: "Don't worry, with Zhongli here, nothing will go wrong."

Nashida noticed that Zhongli was looking sideways at the top of his head, so she used the monster outlining skill.

Behind the grass-green fluorescent frame, densely packed zombie figures are outlined.

The number is staggering.

What's even more bizarre is that these zombies obviously noticed the presence of the two, but did not rush down immediately. Instead, they stopped at the edge of the huge pit, crouching, as if waiting for someone to issue an order.

Nashida’s hand, which was making the shape of an eight, froze for a moment, and she involuntarily leaned towards Zhongli.

Zhongli also took out the Chlorophyte Halberd, with a rock-yellow light in his eyes.

A strange howling sound was heard.

The ambushing zombies seemed to have received some instructions and jumped down using all four limbs.

The sunken basin is deep.

However, they had a lot of health and jumped up, so the damage from the fall basically did not hurt them.

Zhongli swung out his halberd, blocking the claws of a zombie, and swept it horizontally, pushing it away, and throwing it onto several zombies behind him.

Nashida took out her shotgun and used bullets made of multiple layers of chlorophyll to blast five or six of them apart with one shot.

What surprised Zhongli a little was that these zombies actually learned to dodge.

Although this did not prevent Zhongli from hitting them, fighting them was far from easy.

While Nashida was reloading, she looked up and said to Zhongli, "They have become stronger. Let's find a way to get up there and meet up with Qi You."

The research institute behind me is a building with a pointed roof.

Nashida had thought of jumping on it.

But the bottom end is too high.

So she took out her pickaxe and tried to dig one more block down from the two-block-high corner so that she could jump up.

But after hitting with the diamond pickaxe for a long time, the white block didn't crack.

It feels like... its hardness is more than ten times harder than the painted obsidian.

"Is it some new type of material?"

Nashida had a plan in mind.

Seeing the zombies rushing over in waves, Zhongli said calmly, "They are adapting and learning my attack pattern."

Nashida felt that things were becoming difficult.

Fortunately, the zombies were only learning to dodge Zhongli's attacks instead of adapting their bodies to the intensity of the attacks.

Under such an overwhelming attack, Zhongli switched from offense to defense, retreated step by step, and finally leaned against the pointed-roof building.

Nashida thought of a solution.

"Now zombies have evolved the ability to destroy blocks."

"But the rate of destruction is unknown."

"The building blocks behind us are very hard. If they want to get in, it will definitely take some time."

"Let's go in and hide first."

Zhongli nodded slightly: "From a universal point of view, it is indeed a good plan, but you and I have been here for a long time, and we have not yet found where the entrance is. Is there a hidden mechanism?"

"I'll try and find it."

Nashida ducked to avoid the claws of a zombie, then turned back to grope around in the building. Zhongli followed her closely, and after accumulating strength, he shot out a green and white light horizontally, finally killing the tough zombies in front of him.

Blood splattered on the wall, outlining a raised outline.

Nashida thought to herself, "This... is a button?"

Buttons and walls of the same color are really hard to notice when placed together.

Nashida stood on tiptoe, stretched out her little hand, and pressed gently...

'clatter--'

There was a sound of pistons twitching, and the four blocks were pulled apart, revealing a dark and gloomy corridor with silver-blue sea lights flashing inside.

"The button won't be on for long. Let's go in first."

Nashida grabbed Zhongli's clothes and retreated into the research institute the moment the valve door closed.

'Roar--'

A zombie stretched out its claws to try to get in, but the live-seal door had already closed mercilessly, causing it to suffer severe suffocation injuries.

Looking at the small pool of blood splattered on the ground, Nashida took a few steps back and leaned on Zhongli's legs.

Spider-web-like cracks soon appeared on the block in front of him, but they did not extend for a long time. It was obvious that the zombies outside were trying hard to hit the block, but because it was too hard, it was difficult to destroy it.

After taking a few steps back, the knocking sound could no longer be heard.

Now, the surroundings are finally quiet.

The sound of the strange liquid dripping became clearly audible.

In the pitch-black environment, the blue and green interwoven columns not far away became particularly conspicuous.

After Nashida stuffed another note into the ender chest, she held up a torch and walked towards the cylinder.

It was a square glass column filled with some liquid that made a gurgling sound.

Below, there is something that looks like a faucet, connected to some complicated buttons.

However, perhaps because this laboratory is very old, a little liquid has leaked from under the pillars with a high-tech appearance.

Nashida took a closer look and felt that it looked like liquid chlorophyll.

So he simply smashed the glass, and the liquid inside gurgled out.

Nashida quickly caught it in a bucket.

Unlike materials like water, this liquid can be collected in just one bucket.

Nashida looked at the item name given in the inventory and read it out in shock: "Pure 'chlorophyll'?"

She looked at the halberd in Zhongli's hand behind her and suddenly had an idea: "Zhongli..."

"Perhaps we can try to 'fuse' them again."
