There was a little soldier with dark skin that looked especially simple and honest. He looked at Zhan Yun, excited, "You just used an ability, right? What are the properties of your ability? How could it be so powerful that it could suppress those very powerful zombies all at once?"

"Right, right, younger brother, do you have an ability?" There were also people that kept asking Su Ruizhe. Before, no matter how big or bulky they were, they were useless, but it only took Su Ruizhe a few shots from his gun. The zombies' whole bodies fell apart, it really was too fierce.

"Oh, why didn't the handsome man from before come? He probably has an ability too." The man they were talking about should be Zheng Jiahe.

Zhan Yun and Su Ruizhe were surrounded by soldiers and asked a variety of questions. They didn't know which question to answer; they felt very stressed.

At this moment, a tall forty-year-old officer with a shaved head came over. "Are these reasonable words?! Go back to your posts!"

"Captain Zhang!" The little soldiers straightened and saluted to the coming person. They did not dare to make a sound, like a gourd without a mouth. They quickly returned to their posts.

"You two, please follow me." Captain Zhang led them inside.

They went upstairs and arrived at a door. Captain Zhang knocked on the door and shouted, "Reporting!"

"Come in." A deep voice came from within the room.

Captain Zhang went in with the two men. The room wasn't big, there was only a table and three chairs. There were some miscellaneous items in the corner, it was obvious that they had just been sorted. There was a tall, middle-aged officer waiting for them. He had a scar on his forehead and looked very serious. From hisepaulet, they knew that his rank wasn't low.

"Commander, I have brought two distinguished guests." Captain Zhang took the lead in introducing him to Zhan Yun and Su Ruizhe. "This is our Commander Jiang."

"It's nice to meet you, Commander Jiang."

"You two as well. Come here, please sit down." Commander Jiang smiled and greeted the two men, asking them to sit down. "Jiang Xuzhou, head of the Independent Regiment of the Lower Fourth Army. I still do not know your names?"

"I am Zhan Yun, and he is Su Ruizhe."

After he waited for them to sit down, Captain Zhang left and closed the door.

"I already heard them say that they owed thanks to the help of you two, otherwise our casualties would have been even worse."

"We are not worthy of such compliments."

"We don't have a lot of time, so I'll get straight to the point. You two should have abilities?" There was only the three of them in the room, so Commander Jiang asked without concealing anything

"Correct." Neither of them evaded, admitting directly. "I can manipulate gravity, and he can manipulate plants."

Before they demonstrated their skills, they were ready to expose their abilities, but concealed their secondary abilities.

In the future, as time went on, the status of ability users would rise. Now, they could register with the government first, which would be more advantageous than disadvantageous. They believed that the government should have already known about abilities.

"Sure enough, the two of you should know about crystal nuclei, right?"

"Crystal nuclei?" Zhan Yun calmly asked in return.

"Correct." With that, Commander Jiang took out a transparent crystal nucleus from his pocket and placed it on the table. "This is a crystal nucleus, an energy crystal from a zombie's head. However, some of the zombies we killed before didn't have one."

Zhan Yun's pupils shrank and his muscles tightened slightly.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't have any other meaning. You killed those zombies, and it's your right to take those nuclei. I just want to judge if there is a difference between the two types of nuclei. I'm sure that the two of you noticed that there is something special about those few zombies." Jiang Xuzhou's tone was sincere. "I swear by the honor of servicemen that I have absolutely no malice against you."

Su Ruizhe grasped Zhan Yun's hand and answered Jiang Xuzhou's question directly. "Yes, we think those should be the evolved zombies, because they are several times faster and more powerful than ordinary zombies, and are very difficult to deal with."

Su Ruizhe had an indescribable affinity for the Fourth Army. When he was imprisoned in the Institute's secret laboratory in his previous life, he had heard of the Fourth Army.

At that time, Lingcheng Base was under the Fourth Army's jurisdiction, and they often sent people over to inspect the base. The Fourth Army had banned human experimentation, so everytime the Fourth Army came to inspect, the researchers would be very careful. The amount of time they tortured him for in the secret laboratories would be reduced.

Therefore, Su Ruizhe was willing to believe that Jiang Xuzhou didn't have any intention to harm them.

"These are the nuclei of those few zombies." Su Ruizhe took out a light red crystal nucleus from his pocket and put it next to the transparent crystal nucleus on the table.

The light red crystal nucleus was larger than the transparent one, it had a mysterious aura, making it look as beautiful as a work of art. It was impossible to imagine where it had come from.

"Are the nuclei from the evolved zombies the same color?" Jiang Xuzhou picked up the nucleus and examined it carefully. He found that besides the color and size, the two nuclei did not look very different.

"Yes, a total of five. All are light red."

Jiang Xuzhou murmured for a while, nodded, and returned the red crystal nucleus to Su Ruizhe. "I know, thank you. I also want to ask, when you killed the zombies from before, you also used guns? I don't know what the difference between our guns is?"

"The difference is in the bullets." Su Ruizhe took out a small cloth bag from his pocket, pulled out several peas, and then enclosed them in his left hand. When he opened it again, the peas had turned into emerald green bullets.

Jiang Xuzhou stared in astonishment, took a bullet, and examined it carefully. Besides the shape and color, the feel and shape of the bullet was exactly the same as a normal bullet.

"This is your ability?"

"Yes. My ability seems to be able to weaponize plants."

"Are these ordinary peas?" Jiang Xuzhou looked carefully at the peas, which seemed very fresh.

"Correct, it's the common pea. I'm using my ability to maintain it, so it looks very fresh."

Jian Xuzhou nodded, then asked excitedly, "I don't know how many peas you still have on hand? Can you give me some peas and a few bullets?"

He thought that there might be some elements in the peas that had a restraining effect on the evolution of the zombies. When he would return and give them to the researchers, they might be able to make some important discoveries!

"Yes, these are the ones I planted before the apocalypse, I don't have too many of them left. I can give half of them to you. You can take all these bullets if you want." Before, Zhan Yun and Su Ruizhe had discussed it when they returned to the car. They hadn't realized that Su Ruizhe's pea bullets could cause such great damage to the evolved zombies. They thought it might be related to the chlorophyll and certain nutrients contained in the plants.

It would be impossible for them to selfishly hide this secret. The emergence of the evolved zombies proved that zombies were constantly evolving, and if human progress could not keep up with the zombies', the only thing waiting for humans was annihilation. So, they believed that chlorophyll and the other nutrients in the plants and fruit could, to a certain extent, inhibit the zombie virus. Sooner or later, someone would discover it and disclose it to the government so that the government could prepare in advance.

Now, in the early days of the apocalypse, if they searched for vegetable and fruit seeds, they could always find them. No matter whether it was from a soilless culture or stimulated under an ability, Su Ruizhe could not become the 'only' source of supply.

"When an ability is about to be awakened, eating some fruits or vegetables would be helpful." Zhan Yun timely added. As he had decided to show his good intentions to the government and the army, it would be better to be thorough. Anyways, it was just a reminder.

Jiang Xuzhou attached great importance to their words. After thanking them again and again, he also revealed the situation in some of the survivors' bases. Survivors bases had just been established, and was still in the trial period of their operation. Although it accepted all survivors unconditionally, if one wanted to survive, then they had to rely on themselves. The base would not feed them. Jiang Xuzhou told them that if they wanted to enjoy better conditions in the survivors' base, they would have to pay a certain amount of materials. This evening, they would enter A City for a search and rescue. If they wanted, they could go with the team and collect more materials, which would always be good for them.

Zhan Yun immediately said that he had friends in A City, so he was very willing to go with the army in the evening. After some more conversation, Jiang Xuzhou personally sent the two men away and ordered them to arrange an independent room for Zhan Yun's team to rest. Finally, he sent this important message to the Southern Military Command via radio transmission.

Soon after they entered the room, Song Chengshu came with several soldiers, carrying a number of large and small bags.

It was so hot during the day that most people slept. At noon, the army provided the survivors with food, like water and biscuits, and at night, cooked some porridge.

The author has something to say:

Hey, hey, hey, put the ability to weaponize plants on the way to the future. It's not a big problem to closely guard the space ability ~~~ Now, it's helpful to remind the government of the importance of plants. When the plants aren't so scarce, Su Ruizhe wouldn't be so eye-catching ~~~

Right, to add a point, the previously mentioned grave buster refers to the plant from Plants vs. Zombies 2…the grave buster from Plants vs. Zombies 1 is dark, looks ugly ~~~

[Small Theater On the Street]

Su Xiao Zhe: Ah! There are evolved zombies!

Zheng Jiahe: Look at my golf club! Waving…missed?!

Zhan Xiao Yun: Look at my gravity! There are a lot of zombies, I'm out of power! Xiao Zhe, embrace!

Su Xiao Zhe: Hey! And me! Biubiu ~~

Zheng Jiahe: What a killer! In other words, we can make peas into miniature and shoot them out. After shooting, it will explode when it hits a zombie. The scene was absolutely brilliant! Even in the later stages, if the zombies evolved to grab the bullets with its bare hands like a martial arts master. Even if the bullet doesn't kill it, it would blow up in its face, haha! I'm a genius!

Su Xiao Zhe: Otaku man's way of thinking is really different from ours!

Zhan Xiao Yun: The brain hole is not half bad, but it is easy to think too much.

Song Chengshu: Professional Passerby expresses that if the pea was stopped by an ability, then the abilities should be related.

Zheng Jiahe: Isn't there still a boss left?
