If Liu Gan’s deduction was correct, this baby was definitely recognized by the game as a Variant Zombie! Even though she was reluctant, the moment she beheaded the baby she felt a burning sensation. In addition to the physical attributes associated with strength, speed, sight, hearing, almost everything else increased significantly. She also gained an overwhelming energy that flowed outward from her body.

This energy was not an active energy burst like Zhang ShengLi’s [Whirlwind Slash] that radiated outward. It wasn’t like Han GuangMing’s [Meteor Hammer] that locked onto the target, nor was her ability like Xue Jian’s [Trueshot Aura] that releases gathered energy outward. Soon, Lee Miao unlocked the true potentials of her ability and walked to the beds of nearby injured team members. She could use the energy to speed up the healing of their wounds.

Without a doubt, as a doctor, Lee Miao had awoken an ability that fell under the category of [Treatment]. She could speed up the healing speed on the injuries, sustained by the team members. The more shallow exterior wound would be able to close up and form a scab and as for the deeper exterior wound it would have similar effect, but at a slower rate. One common feature of this ability was that once the wound sealed up, the painful feeling disappeared as well.

This included the team member who had his arm hacked off. Upon receiving [Treatment] from Lee Miao, the pain subsided immensely. He had his arm cut cleanly off at the joint, with the wound reaching the bone layer. Before [Treatment], he couldn’t handle the pain, but at least now it was more bearable.

The armless team member used up all the energy Lee Miao had, so to continue [Treatment], all the other injured team members had to wait for Lee Miao to recuperate.

Over the course of one night, the group lost three team members, but gained two awoken ability users. Nevertheless, the reward was immense since the discontent amongst the players was discovered early, but strict discipline must still be maintained.

Due to the appearance of the Variant Zombies, nobody had a good night’s rest. After eating breakfast in the morning, under the request from several squad leaders, Liu Gan didn’t depart immediately. He allowed the group more time to rest in the hotel.

By the time the rain stopped pouring, it was already daytime. As the strange events of a Variant Zombie and corpse tide finally came to a close, it was safe to sleep for awhile. Liu Gan also returned to his bed to sleep until noon. That was when Liu Gan woke up his squad leaders, and the squad leaders in turn woke up their squad members. New orders trickled down from above, such as preparing the lunch meals and packing gears up. After eating lunch, the group departed in the vehicles.

After clearing up a few more obstacles on the road, the fleet was able to reach the countryside. The roads gradually became less obstructed, making it easier to travel. There was even a part on the road for two kilometers where it was completely obstacle-free. Without any obstacles, the obstacle-clearing squads were able to rest and just enjoy riding in the car.

After two hours, it was around four in the afternoon. The fleet of vehicles finally reached the gas station nearby the prison.

Even though Mr. Sheng marked on the map that the gas station was very far apart from the prison, he had actually misjudged the distance. It was only around half a kilometer away.

Nearby the prison, more building structures started appearing. There were even fast food restaurants, needless to say, it was not “open” for business. These restaurants must have been opened prior to the catastrophe, perhaps catering to the people visiting the prisoners or the drivers that drove by this highway.

Finally, the three vehicles stopped at the gas station. Xue Jian and his squad were responsible for refueling the cars. Several of the other squads had the duty of scouring nearby buildings to look for useful resources. The gas station seemed to be quite rundown, so there was a little trouble in refueling the cars. Luckily, Xue Jian was responsible for this task, since he had capabilities of managing his own squad. Even though Xue Jian resolved the issue of refueling, he still needed quite a while before all vehicles were fully fueled.
