Next chapter of the week will be tomorrow! See ya, next week! I fixed up all the previous mistakes from chapters 90 - 130 with the help of a reader, Yorben. Thank you for letting me know. So all the confusing parts on the bridge have been clarified.

Wang DeCheng wasn’t sure why Liu Gan had called him out in the middle of the night, out to the riverside. He didn’t bother asking too many questions; he only quietly followed Liu Gan. Then he saw Yin He holding down a zombie. When he saw the zombie with two gills on its neck, he seemed to have vaguely become aware of something.

Wang DeCheng’s heart rate increased… Could it be that this is his lucky day?

“This is the Variant Zombie, the one that has the ability to produce hallucinations. Little He was able to heavily injure it. However, the final kill will be for you.” Liu Gan handed his fire axe to Wang DeCheng.

“Thank you Elder Liu!” Wang DeCheng shouted, excited by the news. Both of his hands started precipitating with sweat.

With a deep breath, Wang DeCheng lifted the fire axe high above his head and chopped it at the neck of the Variant Zombie. In several more swings, its brain was mushed into pieces as he effectively ended its life.

A large dense black orb floated out from the body of the Variant Zombie into Wang Decheng’s body. After a heated feeling, Wang DeCheng looked at his alloy wristwatch, which clearly displayed that he had reached level 5.

“What different ability did you awaken?” Liu Gan asked Wang DeCheng. Liu Gan really wanted to assemble a squad of loyal and obedient team members. He had helped cultivate each and every member, so he was very concerned with their growth.

“! ! Sh1t!”

Wang DeCheng looked at his wristwatch with a strange expression, but it wasn’t the type that was filled with excitement. It was closer to disappointment.

“What is it?” Liu Gan raised his eyebrows.

“Elder Liu, look for yourself…” Wang DeCheng was sulking as he shoved his wrist watch in front of Liu Gan. Using the flashlight, it revealed two words.

“[Forage]?” Liu Gan looked at the two words with a confused look as well.

“This… What does this even mean?” Wang DeCheng appeared helpless.

“Is this ability activatable?” Liu Gan suggested.

“Yes.” Wang DeCheng thought about the two words. Briefly after, from the interior of his body, he charged up some energy and forced it out. What appeared in his sea of consciousness were many green dots of different sizes. With a range covering the entire small island, he could correctly pinpoint location and distance from, to, and with each dot. The largest of these green dots was right at the storage room of the restaurant.

In addition, the river had speckles of dots that were red in front of him. Some were green. There were others with different colors, as if to signify different species of fish. Green were most likely the edible type of fish that hadn’t been contaminated with the virus.

The moment Wang DeCheng explained the function of his ability to Liu Gan, he wasn’t disappointed at all. On the contrary, he was pleasantly surprised.
