Vikram’s gaze swept over it, realizing that this Zombie was also an organism close to completing its evolution.

In other words, if Vikram had been a bit slower, perhaps in a few more days, they would have completed their evolution and launched an attack.

Thinking of this, Vikram quickened his movements.

With the Tungsten Steel Hammer in his left hand and the Wolf Howl Longblade, he used both, relying on his overwhelming combat power and the suppression from Sophia, Divya and Anjali, to kill it in the blink of an eye.

Why Luna and Plants Team is not participating, it was because Vikram felt these was also good time to trains many members of his territory and his wives also.

"Is this a ruin treasure chest?" Divya looked at the shimmering light inside the cave, which finally converged into a box, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Vikram nodded in response to Divya’s question.

He then put the box into his backpack and led the team away, heading towards the next nest...

Nearing evening, Vikram and his group finally returned to the territory.

All day today, they were either exploring Zombie nests or on their way to explore them.

They didn’t even have time to eat lunch.

Such effort yielded exceptionally gratifying results.

This trip resulted in a total of seventy-two Mutated Zombie bodies, and countless ordinary Zombie bodies.

Most importantly, there were also four Epic-level Zombies and four Epic-level supply boxes emitting a dazzling purple light.

While Anjali went to cook, Vikram, Sophia and Divya spent some time organizing the supplies they had gained today.

Mountain Bike X1, Quality: Blue-Purple, an essential ride for cycling enthusiasts.

Sentry Tower Blueprint X1: Quality: Blue-Purple, used to construct a Sentry Tower, a high-tower structure for surveillance and defense.

Strong Flashlight X2: Quality: Blue-Purple, 2300 lumens strong flashlight, provides high-brightness illumination, suitable for various activities at night or in low-light environments.

Heavy Crossbow X1: Quality: Purple, a large crossbow, usually used for military purposes, capable of firing heavy arrows or stone projectiles, extremely lethal.

MP5 Submachine Gun X1, Quality: Purple, Caliber: 9mm, Weight: approximately 2.5 kg, Length: approximately 450 mm, Magazine Capacity: 30 rounds.

The supplies in the boxes were undeniably abundant, and their quality did not good like which Vikram gained after clearing the double ruin, but it also didn’t disappoint Vikram.

At the very least, they were all high-grade items of blue-purple quality.

Not to mention there were even heavy crossbows and MP5 submachine guns, which could be given to his subordinates.

One must know, this was only the result of their collection for one day.

Buildings like these were ubiquitous across the Wasteland.

With Vikram’s strength, as long as he wanted to, he could scavenge this much every day. Although he didn’t know who created this type of building and why their are Incubation Pods, but currently he was busy in looting then.

As they organized the supplies in their hands, both Vikram and Divya had excited expressions.

Not rushing to celebrate, they looked at the rest of their gains.

Aside from the supplies in the boxes, there were 30 ordinary crystals, 14 mutated crystals, and one crystal found inside an Epic-level Zombie.

Advanced Crystal: Quality: Purple, after use can increase all four dimensions of physique by 3 points each, maximum usage limit: 10 crystals.

"Sure enough, there are still items to improve physique."

Vikram picked up this crystal, which glowed purple all over. Compared to ordinary crystals and mutated crystals, this crystal was almost two to three times larger.

Although it belonged to the Epic-level quality like the mutated crystals, the physique increase it provided was half higher.

Upon seeing that it required ten crystals to reach the usage limit, Vikram’s lips curled into a smile, and a surge of excitement welled up within him.

His current physique had already reached near 100 mark. If he could use this Advanced Crystal to its limit, then he will become the top of the chain.

His resolve to eradicate more Zombie nests became even stronger.

He tossed eight crystals to the two women, and the mutated crystals also reached their usage limit for them.

After resting briefly on the sofa, it was soon dinnertime.

Another large table of dishes was laid out, and Anjali couldn’t resist taking pictures and sharing her dinner in the group chat.

Vikram was indifferent to this.

The only entertainment for most Survivors was finding some solace in chat groups.

Such incidents were not uncommon in the group.

When Vikram occasionally checked the group chat, some exaggerated Survivors would even take a selfie just for sleeping, celebrating that they had survived another day.

As long as no coordinates were reported, taking a picture of food, to be blunt, would have no substantial impact.

It could also showcase one’s strength, making it easier to speak up if one wanted to trade something in the group later, with their strength already established.

—

In the past few days, Vikram’s Territory and his group maintained a very regular schedule.

During the day, they went out to explore zombie nests, and at night, they returned to the territory to eat and drink.

They also checked the group chat to see if anything interesting had happened.

Also Territory 2 was now completely purified, and the Air Mage and Wood Mage has Evolved into Druids.

They are now clearing the area for Territory 3, while cleaning it and purifying.

At the same time, his Van has evolved into something biological vehicle.

Armored Assault Vehicle ×1 (Purple - Epic)

A modified biological armored vehicle created through the fusion of machinery and plant life. While retaining its original mechanical foundation, several components have been replaced by living biological systems, greatly improving survivability and battlefield performance.

Core Functions: High durability and impact resistance, allowing the vehicle to withstand heavy collisions and hostile attacks. Spacious interior capable of transporting up to 15 personnel comfortably during long-distance operations.

All-terrain mobility capable of operating across roads, mud, rough terrain, rubble, forests, and wasteland environments. Integrated biological support systems distributed throughout the vehicle to improve reliability and survivability.

Core Traits: Ironwood Armor Plating provides enhanced protection while retaining biological regenerative properties. Runner Root Wheels replace traditional tires, granting puncture resistance, self-repair capabilities, and superior terrain adaptability.

Ironvine Suspension System improves stability, shock absorption, and off-road performance. Bloodvine Energy Circulation Network reduces fuel consumption while supplying energy to biological components.

Enhanced fuel efficiency significantly extends operational range. Low-noise movement mode reduces sound emissions during travel.

Durability: Extremely high resistance to physical damage from impacts, collisions, and hostile attacks. Resistant to corrosion, contamination, radiation residue, and harsh environmental conditions.

Root Regeneration Network gradually repairs minor and moderate damage over time. Biological components remain operational even after portions of the vehicle suffer structural damage.

Special Functions: Thorn Ram installed at the front of the vehicle greatly increases ramming power and can impale zombies or destroy obstacles during movement. Thornvine Defense Layer automatically attacks hostile creatures attempting to approach, surround, or climb onto the vehicle.

Lumen Vision Pods provide enhanced visibility during darkness, fog, storms, and other low-visibility conditions. Torrent Vine Turret Slot allows the installation of biological defensive weapon systems capable of autonomous fire support.

Limitations: Major repairs require Plant Essence, critical component destruction cannot be automatically repaired, and the vehicle remains heavier than standard transport vehicles due to its reinforced biological structure.

Description: A durable armored vehicle enhanced through Treehouse biotechnology. Designed for transportation, exploration, combat support, and long-distance operations, it combines mechanical reliability with the regenerative and adaptive characteristics of plant life, making it highly effective for surviving the dangers of the wasteland.

And not only that, but the Metal Mage has become Druid after modifying his few vehicles.

The date was March 5th.

It was also the last day of the Black Fog calamity.

In these three or four days, Vikram had eradicated thirteen zombie nests.

The resources obtained were also exceptionally abundant.

"Please, Vikram, open this box for me," Anjali pleaded, shaking Vikram’s arm in a flirtatious manner in an underground nest as evening approached.

In the past few days, Sophia, Divya and Anjali’s physiques had improved rapidly due to the mutated crystals.

Now, even the Epic-level Zombies in the nests that were about to advance no longer required Vikram to act personally.

With their physiques above sixty points, coupled with the help of weapons, the two of them could already contend with these monstrous creatures.

In cooperation with Ron and others, they had single-handedly killed the Epic-level Zombie in front of them.

"Go ahead, open it," Vikram waved his hand. Although Anjali was already an adult, Vikram always treated her like a child.

With a little guidance, she was actually quite likable.

At the very least, she provided a lot of emotional value to Vikram in the day, who was in the apocalypse with no entertainment.

And lots of warmth in the night, he also didn’t know, that is she became pregnant, how will she react.

"Hehe!" Seeing Vikram agree to her small request, Anjali’s face immediately lit up with joy.

She tiptoed and quickly pecked Vikram’s lips, and skipped off to open the box.

Ron and the others, who were watching this scene, all showed the same knowing smile, pointing and gesturing at Vikram.

He shrugged helplessly.

"Wow!"

"Vikram, come quickly, something good came out!"

Just as he was still wondering what Anjali and Luna usually talked about, this little kid had already opened the box.

It seemed like she had opened something extraordinary, as she was jumping for joy and constantly calling out to Vikram.

Vikram raised an eyebrow and stepped forward.

The two items Anjali held in her hand were both Epic-level.

He thought to himself that foolish people truly had foolish blessings.

But when he saw one of the items clearly, he instantly lost his composure.

[Life-Saving Orb: Disposable item. When the user suffers a fatal injury, the orb’s ability can forcefully sustain the user’s life for two minutes.]

Looking at the item’s description, Vikram was immediately stunned.

Seeing Vikram’s expression, Anjali immediately realized that this thing was indeed a good item.

With her hands on her hips, Anjali looked up and said proudly.

"Hehe, aren’t I amazing?" Saying that, she handed the orb in her hand to Vikram without any hesitation.

To be honest, this item might not be of much use to other Survivors.

After all, two minutes of life support would at most stop bleeding.

If it’s a fatal injury, what good would stopping the bleeding do?

But in Vikram’s hands, it was a different matter entirely.

With the system at hand, as long as he had Plant Essence, he could fully recover on the spot.

"You don’t want this precious orb? This thing can save your life at a critical moment."

Anjali’s small face flushed, and she turned her head away.

"I don’t want it. You keep it. Anyway, if you, smelly Vikram, die, I definitely won’t be able to live either."

Vikram was stunned by her words.

He seemed not to have expected this seemingly carefree girl to say such a thing.

"It seems I didn’t dote on her for nothing, tonight I will dote on you more," Vikram thought to himself as he put away the orb.

He led everyone back to the territory.
