Members would return in the late morning after expending most of their power killing zombies.

That didn't mean there was nothing to do; they mainly focused on training.

When there were fewer people, the small roads outside the villa or the villa's garden were sufficient.

But now, with 112 people, it was no longer enough, so they moved to an artificial lake in the center of the villa district.

Mi Ling, Shu Yun, Su Dazhu, Mi Li, and a few others went to the side closer to the mountain, where there was also an open space.

Around noon, everyone waited for the moment when lunch was served to end training.

It started as peacefully as usual.

Suddenly, a swarm of bees came from the mountain, densely packed together, a bit larger than normal, with sharper stingers.

In the apocalypse, humans and large animals had a chance of turning into zombies, like cats, dogs, lions, tigers, and wolves.

A small number of large animals that didn't become zombies would mutate.

There were also many animals that neither turned into zombies nor mutated, like Fawang (French King).

Small creatures like flies, mosquitoes, rats, cockroaches, and ants would almost all mutate.

Their history was even longer than that of humans; even if humans became extinct, they wouldn't.

They worked hard to adapt to this sudden change in the world.

The virus seemed to cause their genes to mutate, either making them larger, more poisonous, or with extremely strong reproductive abilities.

There might even be rats the size of elephants.

Many creatures in the ocean had also mutated.

But these mutations wouldn't be as sudden as humans turning into zombies; they would take some time.

Although mutation took time, these small creatures had become full of aggression.

Even if you didn't provoke them, they would attack you.

The "buzzing" sound came, and the expressions of Mi Ling and the others changed drastically.

If they were at a high enough level, a flame shield would cover their bodies, and such weak bees would die upon approaching.

But they hadn't mastered that yet.

Nor could anyone cast large-scale spells.

Fawang lay sprawled to the side, catching a stray bullet.

The bees' stingers couldn't penetrate Fawang's skin, but they would try to drill into Fawang's nostrils and ears.

When angry, Fawang could generate arcs of electricity around its body, but it couldn't control it actively.

Fawang could spit and kill a dozen or twenty at a time, but was that useful?

Even Fawang was cowed, avoiding the swarm of bees.

Mi Ling and the others were also cowed, not wanting to be stung, and immediately began to run, trying to shake off the bees and let them retreat on their own.

But the bees were fast, and they were inevitably stung.

Everyone was stung a few times.

It hurt a little, but not enough to cause injury.

The group fled in disarray, quickly running to the artificial lake.

Originally, Mi Ling and the others wanted to avoid the crowd, but they didn't expect that these members, fearless and unafraid, upon seeing their boss's wife and sister-in-law being stung, all expressed their desire to teach the bees a lesson.

The bees looked densely packed, but there weren't that many, only two thousand or so.

On average, each person only needed to deal with twenty or so to kill them.

Having been stung a few times, Mi Ling also got angry, turned around, and began to deal with them.

All sorts of methods were used, and they managed to kill all the bees with great difficulty.

But everyone felt uncomfortable. Those who were lucky weren't stung, but those who were unlucky were stung a dozen times.

The stung areas were often on the face.

They didn't hit people in the face, but stung specifically there.

Mi Ling was an exception. A bee that was much larger than the others seized the opportunity and stung Mi Ling hard on the chest.

Well, bees were also lustful, and because of their lust, they made a heroic sacrifice.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Being stung was alright; it didn't hurt that much.

But to everyone's surprise, these bees carried some toxins. The toxins weren't strong, but the stung areas would swell up.

The physical types were better, with stronger toxin resistance, but the elemental types were a bit miserable.

Many people had swollen and bruised faces, looking very disheveled.

In the past, Mi Ling often had chest pains from anger, but this time it really hurt.

When Chen Luo returned, the battle was already over.

Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Mi Li's face hadn't been stung. Although she looked a bit startled, she didn't seem sad, or upset.

If something had happened to Mi Ling, Mi Li wouldn't be like this, so Chen Luo was relieved.

Chen Luo asked, "What happened?"

Shu Yun explained the matter with a bitter smile.

A swarm of bees?

Chen Luo chose his own villa district as the base because the conditions here were indeed very good, and also because no powerful mutants had ever appeared here; it was very safe.

Although there might be a butterfly effect.

A swarm of bees? Was there such a thing?

Chen Luo shook his head. How could he remember the small things from many years ago?

Chen Luo asked Mi Li, "Where's your sister? How is she?"

Mi Li looked around, and seeing that no one was around, she whispered, "My sister was stung in that area, and it swelled up. She's gone back to her room."

Which area?

Seeing Mi Li's blushing face, as if it was inconvenient to say, Chen Luo quickly realized.

Chen Luo couldn't help but laugh. So, this sign of a large *xiong* (chest) wasn't the ominous sign I thought it was!

Mi Fan, you too, couldn't you have spoken more clearly?

You scared me to death.

Mi Fan said aggrievedly, "I was talking about the big *xiong* (chest) omen."

Which *xiong* (chest) should you clarify, really.

It seemed that Mi Fan's nine years of compulsory education still needed to be continued.

Mi Ling didn't even come out for lunch; Mi Li took it to her room.

The bee's toxin wasn't strong, and plus Mi Li's healing technique had some effect on toxins, so in the afternoon, Mi Ling came out of her room.

Chen Luo subconsciously looked towards Mi Ling, wondering if she was alright.

Mi Ling's face turned red, and feeling Chen Luo's gaze, she said with annoyance, "What are you looking at?"

Mi Ling hid in her room again.

Chen Luo muttered softly, "I'm just concerned about you. You don't know a good heart when you see it."

After recovering, Chen Luo took people out in the afternoon to try to find the few who dared to block him.

If nothing had happened, being delayed could sometimes be fatal.

If you dare to be a bandit, you must be prepared to be punished.

Well, they couldn't be found. They might have been scared away by Chen Luo's speed.

Back home, Chen Luo hugged Mi Fan and said, "Mi Fan, why don't you try to calculate for me?"

Mi Fan could actually tell fortunes?!!!

And she was really accurate.

Mi Fan shook her head like a shaman, trying to calculate for Chen Luo.

After a minute, Mi Fan said dejectedly, "I didn't sense anything."

Chen Luo thought, could it be that Mi Fan could only calculate when something was about to happen?

Or was this ability time-limited?

In the evening, Mi Ling finally came out to eat, putting on a brave face, after all, what happened at noon was quite embarrassing.

After dinner, Mi Fan was still hung up on not being able to calculate anything in the afternoon, and this time she switched to Mi Li, saying to Mi Li.

"Let me calculate for you."

Mi Li was also curious and let Mi Fan calculate.

After a while, Mi Fan said with a face full of surprise, "I got it."

Everyone asked curiously, "What is it?"

Mi Fan told Mi Ling, Mi Li, and Chen Luo the results.

"Good luck, tonight we eat chicken (win)."
