Anime Crossover: Many Children, Many Blessings; Yukino, the Wife from the Apocalypse

Perhaps, after slaying a few more zombies, another evolution will occur.

After a month of in-depth exploration, Chang Wei gradually realized that having many skills is not entirely a good thing.

Other evolved beings only need to focus on advancing a single skill, but he needs to improve five skills at the same time—Devour Skill, Rebar, Eye of Detection, Fireball, Bone Shield, and Black Bear Armor... In addition to the evolution of his own physical attributes, each of them requires a huge amount of energy to support it.

In the early stages, when he had few skills, Chang Wei was quite powerful. The number of zombies he killed was enough to support his slow but steady evolution. However, compared with Ada Wong, Sato and others, his progress was somewhat lagging behind.

Now, after a month of hard work, Sato, Ada Wong, and the others have evolved to level five, and even Ada Wong has reached level four. Chang Wei, however, is still hovering on the edge of level four.

However, what surprised Chang Wei the most was Hoshino Ai's progress.

With the help of Sato and others, she has been slaying zombies and has now evolved to level three. Her healing skills have become increasingly powerful, and she can now cast them three times a day. Even deep wounds that expose the bone can heal quickly under her healing skills, making her like a white-clad angel in the village.

However, she still seemed powerless to help those injured by zombies.

As for Yoko Okino, her abilities are truly astounding.

Chang Wei knew that this ability to see into people's hearts would surely become a powerful force in the future. Although its enormous potential was not yet apparent, as its influence grew, this ability would undoubtedly strike fear into the hearts of all spies.

Now, Yoko Okino is a Level 3 Evolver. Her ability to read people's minds is getting stronger and stronger. She can use it three times a day, but it is only effective against Evolvers below Level 3.

Chang Wei has high expectations for Yoko Okino's potential ability to manipulate people's hearts.

At this moment, they gathered in the hall, each exuding a different aura.

Even young stars like Satomi Ishihara and Kanna Hashimoto have gradually shed their childishness and shown a resolute temperament, seemingly transforming into a more mature woman like Miki Nakano.

"We currently have 500 bags of flour, 1,000 kilograms of rice, and 600 kilograms of vegetables."

Chang Wei looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice, "These supplies will be our guarantee for survival. We must distribute them reasonably to ensure that everyone can get enough nutrition."

"Chang Wei, something terrible has happened!"

Hoshino Ai reported to Chang Wei with a serious expression, "Our meat reserves are running low, a full 10,000 jin, and various other non-staple foods are also facing shortages. I specifically stopped you before you left today to discuss the current predicament in the countryside with you."

Her brows were furrowed, and her expression revealed a hint of helplessness.

"What's even more troublesome is that our ammunition reserves are almost depleted again since you last replenished our supplies. If this continues, I'm afraid that in the near future, we will really have to rely on melee weapons to fight the zombies in close combat."

As the person in charge of logistics management, Ai Hoshino had a thorough understanding of the situation regarding supplies.

She knew that although food reserves could last for a while, the shortage of ammunition was an urgent problem.

"Yes, Chang Wei."

She added, "Currently, each of our team members has less than ten bullets on average. Even if the zombies stand there motionless and let us shoot, we still can't eliminate them all."

Hoshino Ai's words were filled with worry and a sense of urgency. She hoped that Chang Wei could come up with a solution as soon as possible to deal with the impending crisis.

The main force of the combat battalion was almost entirely armed with melee weapons such as machetes and spears, causing the number of soldiers wounded by zombies to rise sharply.

Sato echoed the concerns of the others.

"Our team was in the same situation. We were short of ammunition, with an average of less than five bullets per person. The battles with the zombies were mostly close-quarters combat and shooting, which caused the number of casualties to keep rising."

"Even I, as a level four evolver, am helpless now. Without a gun, my gun handling skills are like a hero without a place to use them."

Saya Takagi stared at the Type 54 pistol in her hand, so small it looked like a toy, and gently turned it around in her hand, a deep sense of helplessness on her face.

"You're a captain now. I've heard your skills have evolved to level four, and you can even modify weapon performance and increase power. Rumor has it that you once killed a level three zombie with a single shot. That's truly admirable!"

Chang Wei looked at Takagi Saya with a smile that showed approval.

A hint of smugness flashed across Takagi Saya's face, but she quickly concealed it and replied humbly, "Not at all, I'm far from being as good as the leader."

Chang Wei frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, then turned to Kawako and Yoko Okino, who were standing behind Sato, and asked, "Yoko, what are your thoughts on this?"

Yoko Okino sat there, her expression serene, as if everything around her was irrelevant. Hearing Chang Wei's question, she smiled and said, "Chang Wei, haven't you already made up your mind?"

Upon hearing this, Chang Wei smiled and said, "In that case, let's make preparations and head to that armory."

Upon hearing this, the entire hall erupted in excitement, with everyone's eyes gleaming with anticipation. Sato, Nanri, and others, in particular, were eager to witness the spectacle of the mutated beast.

“I know you’ve been eyeing that armory for a long time, but we were too weak before, and it would have been too risky to act rashly, so I’ve been putting it off until now.”

Chang Wei's voice was calm and firm, slightly suppressing the crowd's enthusiasm, "But now, we have become stronger, it's time to face that mutated beast... our strength is at its peak."

Chang Wei's eyes were sharp as he stared directly at Chuanzi.

"Chuanzi, you lead the way, we'll set off immediately," he decisively ordered.

"Yes, ma'am!" Kawako stood behind Sato, her face beaming with excitement.

Soon, at Chang Wei's command, everyone responded enthusiastically. Two jeeps drove out first, followed closely by three Dongfeng trucks, making a great show of force as they headed toward the abandoned armory.

As their destination came into view, everyone got off the bus. Chang Wei was leading two teams, totaling sixty people.

This seemingly ordinary little forest is actually surrounded by a circle of wooden stakes, guarding the tightly closed gate in the center.

Outside the door, a dozen skeletons lay silently, adding an eerie atmosphere to the tranquil mountain forest.

"Chuanzi, where is the mutated beast you mentioned?" Chang Wei looked around, his brows furrowed.

Chuanzi rushed to Chang Wei's side, looking at the silent place with a hint of confusion on his face. "When I came here last time, that mutated beast immediately appeared and never left this area. How come it's here now..."

"careful!"

Before Chuanzi could finish speaking, Chang Wei's expression suddenly changed, and a terrifying, scarlet, foul-smelling blast of gas hit him.

The power of this aura far surpassed any zombie they had encountered before, including even the magical zombie that had nearly killed Chang Wei with a single blow.

At the same time, Sato and Minami Rika also sensed this aura.

Sato's figure blurred instantly, as if it had turned into several phantoms and scattered in all directions.

This is the result of her speed skill evolving into Shadow Step after advancing to level four. Not only is it extremely fast, but it can also create multiple shadows to confuse enemies, making it an excellent skill for escaping.

Nanli Xiang let out a furious shout, and the motorcycle beneath her instantly exploded and disintegrated. The motorcycle's outer shell was as hard as marble, and the cool steel bars bulged out like gnarled veins, making the motorcycle much taller.

After advancing to level four, her original motorcycle skill evolved into "enhancement," which greatly increases her strength and defense.

Similar to Xiong Jinli's past skills, only a few of these people were able to react quickly.

The ordinary team members could only see the expressions of the experts change drastically, and then they saw them unleash their unique skills.

"boom!"

A black figure, like a ghost in the night, suddenly descended from the sky, accompanied by a gust of foul wind, and landed steadily where Sato and Nanrika had been standing.

The ground was instantly smashed into a huge crater.

"hiss!"

Everyone gasped as they stared at the crater in the ground, which was a foot deep and ten feet wide.

When they finally saw the creature in the pit, a look of undisguised terror flashed in their eyes.

239 Hard-hitting Mutant Lynx

Deep within the pit, a creature as large as a tiger, occupying almost a zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) of space, stood prominently.

Its face was fierce, and its eyes swept over Chang Wei and the others with a ruthless gaze.

Its body is covered with fine black scales, resembling a natural suit of armor.

The enormous claws on its limbs resemble giant palm-leaf fans, generating strong wind pressure when it is waved.

Its tail is like a steel whip, each swing accompanied by a cracking sound, as if proclaiming its power.

The violent aura emanating from it made everyone present feel breathless, as if they were on the eve of a storm.

"This...this could be the legendary mutated beast?"

Sato, who had just withstood a blow from the mutated beast, had a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth and his face was full of shock.

She herself had reached level five, and her strength was equivalent to the sum of fifteen people, but she was so vulnerable in front of this mutated beast.

"Chang Wei, do you know what kind of mutated beast this is?"

Hoshino Ai suddenly appeared beside Chang Wei. Her face was pale, clearly still shaken by the terrifying scene just now.

If she hadn't run fast, she probably would have been killed by that mutated beast with a single swipe of its claw.

Chang Wei knew that this mutated beast had acquired a certain level of intelligence. It knew that among these people, it was the most difficult to deal with, while the ordinary team members posed no threat to it at all.

Therefore, it directly targeted Hoshino Ai and Sato, the two most likely evolved beings to pose a threat to it.

"Da da da……"

The others also came to their senses at this moment. When they saw the ferocious beast in front of them, they all picked up their guns and fired at it.

However, these normally powerful bullets were like mud sinking into the sea when they hit this mutated beast, only causing a few sparks and doing nothing to harm it.

Chang Wei also took the opportunity to use his skills to investigate the information about this mutated beast.

"Mutant Beast: Mutant Lynx."

It mutated from an ordinary lynx, possessing lightning speed, terrifying strength, and an impenetrable coat of fur.

Level: 6.

Skill: Explosive Tiger Claw.

It can create a spinning turbine with its claws, crushing any enemy, even steel.

Weakness: Cannot be detected at the moment.
