Apocalypse Begins: Stockpiling Supplies, I Have a System, Why Fear?

Jiang Wenxi was tricked by her family into an apocalyptic game, unaware that it was a real apocalypse inside. A special spatial fusion would soon spread to their world. By a twist of fate, Jiang We...

Chapter 42 Three Flares

Yang Haochen poked the thing in his hand, but there was no reaction at all.

Jiang Wenxi shook her head and stood up: "Let's get out of here before those foreigners notice us."

I don’t want to cause trouble for the time being, it’s more important to get out right now.

It might be troublesome to walk alone at night, but now that you have teammates with you, things are much easier.

"I'll drive this time."

Jiang Wenxi had a map in her mind, so it was convenient for her to leave here.

They took out the car in a deserted place, and the three of them got in quickly. Jiang Minxi stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the city.

At the same time, zombies came out to commit fraud, and the sound of banging was endless.

"There's a convoy ahead, they seem to be catching zombies."

Three cars pulled over to the side of the road. Seeing them, one man waved his arms and yelled, "Stop!"

He pointed to the side and asked them to park the car behind.

Yang Haochen couldn't help but glance at him: "You take us for fools."

They were planning to block the intersection with cars, probably to prevent the zombies from escaping. Jiang Wenxi stared intently at the road.

Gu Ran and Yang Haochen took the opportunity to see clearly what was inside. A giant creature more than three meters tall was surrounded in the middle.

It was clear at night, sparks flashed, and the power grid was used.

"Hold on tight."

The road was blocked by them at the end of the intersection. I stepped on the accelerator and flew past from the side.

The car shook twice as it landed, then continued to move forward, with someone shooting at them from behind.

"If I wasn't in such a hurry to leave, I would definitely go back and teach them a lesson."

Just because you didn't participate in their actions, they killed you. What a joke.

Jiang Wenxi felt that they were afraid that the news would be leaked and regarded them as spies arranged by other countries, so they were busy dealing with it in a timely manner.

"The system plans the way back, and we won't go through the jungle."

Looking at the route that was twisted into a pretzel, Jiang Wenxi felt an extraordinary headache.

"System, why do I feel like I'm not that far away in the jungle?"

"Host, this is caused by the fusion of space. In some places, the space is superimposed, and in others, it increases infinitely."

Jiang Wenxi cursed under her breath, what a trouble.

Immediately realized: "If we go back into the jungle now, will the jungle be different?"

"It's hard to say. The space is constantly expanding, so I guess we'll experience more dangers, or even some unidentified creatures will suddenly appear."

Jiang Wenxi felt a little sympathy for the people inside. According to the system, the jungle seemed to be secretly growing larger.

"System, now cover the entire jungle for comparison."

Soon the system gave a message: "Host, it has expanded slightly compared to before, and some creatures have been added, including birds."

Jiang Wenxi didn't know whether to be happy or helpless. The natural enemies of those insects had arrived.

But she didn't believe the birds ate only insects.

"System, can you locate those people?"

"OK."

A map instantly appeared in front of Jiang Wenxi, with the red dots representing the crowd.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, no team is in the peripheral area, most of them are close to the center area.

The team closest to the edge is hundreds of kilometers away.

“Why has the system changed so much?”

"Host, look around the jungle."

Jiang Wenxi looked at the dark jungle outside and didn't see anything unusual. Maybe it was okay during the day, but she really didn't see any difference in the dark night.

"Don't sell the lawsuit, I can't see it."

"Host, the jungle is constantly expanding outward. I just scanned it and found out that it has expanded thirty kilometers since we entered."

Hearing this, Jiang Wenxi controlled the direction of the car and shone the light on the edge of the jungle. Occasionally, tiny roots could be seen stretching out and slowly sinking into the ground.

“Will this expansion continue?”

"Based on the current situation, there is still a trend of slow expansion. According to the scans of this system, it may take about three or four days for the expansion to stop."

"System, didn't you say that space fusion would be stable for a period of time? Why is it different this time?"

"Host, the space wall is already unstable. This situation will become more and more serious until it completely breaks through the space wall."

Jiang Wenxi was silent for a long time. They were still lucky. With the system's guidance, they rushed out at the first time.

"System, I want to inform them. You should have some props, right?"

"Host, this system has a positioning arrow that can be sent to a designated location."

Jiang Wenxi did not take immediate action, but drove at full speed until the gas tank ran out.

It seems that their positions are similar, so after refueling, they can move around a bit.

"System, are there any zombies or other creatures around?"

The place where we stopped was a wasteland, with no weeds except rocks, and the environment was even worse than the Gobi Desert.

"Host, no."

No living creature can live without water, even if it mutates into a monster, there is no water here at all.

"You two take a break first."

There was no one around, so Jiang Wenxi acted recklessly and was replaced with two single beds.

Three emergency distress flares were taken out from the space. They were uniformly equipped and could be released when encountering danger.

Lighting one means you are in danger, seeking help and waiting for rescue.

Setting off two fireworks indicates that there is a problem with your location and warns your companions not to get close.

Setting off three fireworks means emergency retreat.

Most people don't use it, not because they don't want to, but because they don't have the opportunity. Waiting for rescue is unrealistic, and when they really encounter danger, they don't have the time to remind their companions.

They had no say in evacuation, and even though some people had already turned into corpses, they were not touched.

The vision is obstructed in the jungle, so let's try it anyway.

Jiang Wenxi sent out three flares at the same time, which were particularly noticeable in the dark night.

Yang Haochen knew that Jiang Wenxi was sending a signal flare, but he didn't know who the message was to or why.

After doing all this, he exchanged three positioning arrows from the space, wrapped them with rainproof material, and wrapped the message on them.

Pull the bowstring and three arrows fly out at the same time.

Yang Haochen was stunned. This was so cool. When did he learn all this? How come he didn’t know about it?

Jiang Wenxi just needs to pull the bowstring and leave the rest to the system.

Xiao Qi had just reached the signal flare and frowned, wondering who did it. After thinking about it, he thought of Zhang Shimian. It should be no one else except him.

Zhang Shimian on the other side did not see the signal flare clearly at first. When he heard the noise and looked up, there was only one left.

But some people saw the three complete missiles, and they didn't use flares. It doesn't mean they didn't understand. This was specifically emphasized when they came in.

Someone shouted excitedly: "It's time to evacuate."

"Finally I can leave."

They had had enough. This place was like hell. They would rather be beaten than live in fear.

Zhang Shimian shouted, "Shut up! Are you trying to attract something?"

It became quiet in an instant. It was not because they were afraid of Zhang Shimian and obeyed his orders, but because something in the forest frightened them.

On the other side, Xiao Qi's team member whispered, "Captain Xiao, should we evacuate?"
