How to Raise a Baby in an Apocalypse - Chapter 396

There are no crystal cores inside the ant eggs. Only after the ants grow into mutated ants do their brains contain crystal cores.

An Ran watches the thorny plant. Because it absorbs an entire nest of mutated ant eggs, it grows taller and stronger. The plant seems to be expressing joy to An Ran as it breaks through the soil.

There are quite a few plants underground, with tangled roots of various species that An Ran doesn’t recognize. This thorny plant is as slender as a sewing needle, with a small flower-like bulb at its tip, no bigger than a tiny bead at the end of a needle.

At that moment, a mutated snake crawls through the soil particles. Its body is small, about the same size as an ordinary snake before the apocalypse. It seems like a scout sent by the snake colony, winding its way over the thorny plant.

An Ran closes her eyes and sees the snake’s belly cut open by the needle-like plant. Halfway across, the snake can no longer move, quickly drained of its flesh and blood by the plant.

Before long, under the moonlight, only a dried and cracked snake skin remains, wrapped around the snake’s bones.

The cracked mutated snake skin shimmers faintly in the moonlight. Though it looks very tough, the thorny plant easily pierces it, which makes An Ran very pleased.

But her heart suddenly shakes, and her mind becomes noisy, as if all the plants in the world are shouting at her: Danger! Danger! Copper-skinned sensory zombies are coming!

An Ran quickly stands up, water splashing around her. She hurriedly wipes off the water, puts on clean clothes, and runs out of the bathroom, slipping on her shoes as she dashes outside.

Outside, the meal gathering has already dispersed.

Several strength ability-users are washing dishes. Liang Ziyu, Yun Tao, and Luo Feifan hold flashlights, preparing to go on patrol. Zhan Lian is still in the room with the sleeping baby. Zhao Ru is searching the yard for bottles and jars, preparing to continue practicing water abilities.

“Everyone get up! Run quickly! Copper-skinned sensory zombies are coming! There are so many!!!” An Ran stands in the middle of the yard and suddenly shouts, her hair still wet, anxiety making her almost burn with urgency.

The night is very quiet. Moonlight illuminates the residential building clearly. On the distant national highway, several cars are parked haphazardly. The supplies in the cars have long been searched by Yun Tao.

But… where are the copper-skinned sensory zombies?

Luo Feifan and Liang Ziyu, about to leave on patrol, look at An Ran awkwardly.

Luo Feifan asks, “An Ran, did you just wake up?” Seeing her short hair still dripping, it’s clear An Ran has been in the bathroom for a long time and must have fallen asleep. Is she having a nightmare?

Yun Tao takes An Ran’s words seriously and steps forward, stopping the patrol. He says to Luo Feifan, “Hurry and pack up. Decide whether to leave or stay.” Then he asks An Ran, “Do you know how many are coming?”

“A lot. More than last time in Tiesi Village,” An Ran says firmly.

She’s very certain. She doesn’t understand where so many zombies are coming from after they’ve already killed so many copper-skinned zombies in the county. Even if 90% of the county has turned into zombies, it shouldn’t be increasing like this.

The key issue is that copper-skinned sensory zombies are acting as the vanguard. Have all the zombies in this world evolved into copper-skinned sensory zombies?!
