Chapter 290 - 252: The Eight Immortals Cross the Sea

Chapter 290: Chapter 252: The Eight Immortals Cross the Sea

In that moment, he felt Yu Dong’s pain.

The people he cared about but couldn’t save... Yu Dong had to watch them die every time.

’Maybe that’s why he’s so obsessed with developing a vaccine...’

’We have to succeed. We have to change the future. This time around... I, Song, will support you with everything I’ve got.’

He held the same hope as Yu Dong.

...

"I need to custom-order some clothing that can protect against scratches, bites, and stabs. It has to be light enough not to hinder our movements or actions."

"Your factory makes all sorts of props. Figure something out."

Fan Zhenyu called a special effects prop factory he had worked with before. This factory specialized in using various high-tech materials to create prop costumes for martial arts stuntmen like him.

He remembered filming a scene with weapons once where the clothes he wore were custom-made here. They looked like normal clothes and didn’t affect his movements, but they could prevent stab wounds from a knife.

Against ordinary zombies, that would be more than enough.

"How about a set of clothes made from a woven ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene fiber? They look pretty much like a regular tracksuit. They’re stab-proof but won’t hinder major movements like squatting, running, climbing, or punching. A full-body suit would only weigh about 2 to 3 kilograms."

"Good, use that standard. And make a lot of them... I need a huge quantity. Run your production at full capacity. Make as many as you can. Also, make me some custom weapons for my own use..."

While Fan Zhenyu was on the phone with the factory, Fan Zhenhuang was already rounding people up.

"Brother, what’ve you been up to? Still fighting these days? Mmm... as long as you haven’t lost your touch. Come meet me for a drink, I’ve got a job you’ll definitely be interested in..."

"Hey! Bro, you got any gigs this week? Come on over. I’ve got a big modern zombie drama starting production, and we need people who can actually fight..."

"Senior Brother, are you back from Southeast Asia? What? You got scammed out of all the money you earned? It’s fine... I’ve got a chance for you to make it all back. Come to me, we’re working on a big project..."

Fan Zhenhuang didn’t rush to activate the ordinary people from his past life; he went straight to his old classmates from the martial arts school.

Some of them had gone into illegal fighting, some were street performers, and others had become stuntmen like them... But after all these years, they all had real skills. They could fight, and they were reliable.

These were the people he really wanted. He’d see how many of them would be left when the time came.

’Zombies?’

’What kind of crappy things are they? Do they have armor? How are their reflexes? Do they know how to dodge weapons?’

’What’s the damn use of just being fast and strong!’

’Once my brothers and I get together with all our weapons, we’ll smash their zombie brains out!’

...

After Zhang Yihuai returned, he began walking around the perimeter of the Olympic Sports Center, observing every entrance, every road, and every barricade...

Of all the Reincarnators chosen by Yu Dong this time, he was the poorest.

He was just an employee of the Olympic Sports Center’s operating company. His salary was decent, and he had saved some money over the years, but...

He had just made a down payment on a house.

Now, with only a few tens of thousands of yuan on hand, he’d have to rely on taking out online loans to prepare.

But the good thing was... his territory was huge, and he knew it like the back of his hand.

’Having less money just means playing the game differently. I can take a different path from them. My area is all commercial districts. When the apocalypse hits, supplies and everything... they’ll be everywhere. I just need to help more people survive.’

Zhang Yihuai stood in the plaza at the entrance of the Olympic Sports Center, his mind simulating a network of roads—crisscrossing, winding, and branching out from his position...

...

"Ding Ming, have you reached Sanlida Company yet? I’ve given you the company qualifications, the purchase contract, and the down payment. Get them to start producing the Death God Repeating Crossbows and their matching bolts immediately! Get the production lines running! I need a lot..."

"Haotian Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Company? Our group wants to discuss a business deal with you..."

"Hello, Gao Yan. I know two of your secrets..."

"Liangzi, you’ve got a good build. You an athlete? Here, have a smoke..."

"Teacher Zhou, here, look this way. Smile. Very good. You wouldn’t want your school to find out about this, would you..."

After Yu Dong left, Xufeng directly took over his position, using the provided keys to activate people, purchase critical supplies, and begin preparations for their doomsday base.

He was activating key personnel while making phone calls.

Zhou watched, stunned, as Xufeng spoke openly right next to him about "reincarnation" and the like.

It wasn’t until they matched the data for Experiment Nine that Zhou finally understood what was going on...

Xufeng glanced at his handbook. The section on Zhou Jian Country was very long; this person was extremely important in Yu Dong’s records.

"Teacher Zhou, Mei’s identity isn’t simple. She was sent by another company specifically to get close to you... Your future self had some theories... Can you find a way to move your laboratory to Yanhai City..."

"Hiss..."

...

Meanwhile, Huang Zhiqiang and Zhao Youcai went off separately to activate their own people from their past lives.

Zhao Youcai went to a Mixue Ice Cream & Tea shop on the street and found the three blond punks playing Arena of Valor...

’Damn it... Are these really the kind of people I’m supposed to use after the apocalypse? Is this befitting of my status as a university graduate? How come it feels like all the people Dongzi activated are powerful big shots...’

Cursing under his breath, Zhao Youcai went to activate Sun Yu and the other two.

Huang Zhiqiang, on the other hand, went straight to Huangyang Port. Yu Dong had told him that in his past life, he had a "dog-head strategist" who, despite his questionable character, was very loyal to him and had some skills, making him someone who could be managed.

Then, he found Zhang Wei in a small motel in Huangyang Port.

It didn’t take much effort to convince Zhang Wei.

"Those are your two secrets. Later, I can even predict the Shuangseqiu lottery... You’ll know by tomorrow. I’m a genuine Reincarnator. You followed me throughout our last life."
