Apocalypse Rebirth: Rational Stockpiling and Slacking Off

Extreme weather events like freezing temperatures, storms, intense heat, heavy rain, earthquakes, and hail caused severe shortages of living supplies; mutated animals and plants along with human vi...

Chapter 95: The plan outside the mission is disrupted and temporarily changed.

Jiang Yao and the others did not sleep at night, but carefully observed the movements outside the car from various corners.

Soon, a light footstep sound came from in front of the car; it was Nova.

Shen Zhijie's pupils contracted slightly, his brows furrowing with disgust. "What are we going to do? Are we going to go and steal it?"

Jiang Yao's long eyelashes concealed the emotions in her eyes. After thinking for a moment, she looked at Shen Zhijie and the others and said, "We can't rob them; there might be a trap."

"It's a trap." He Rui was somewhat incredulous.

Seeing that the others didn't believe her, Jiang Yao pointed to the last person and said, "You see, when things are being done normally, shouldn't the last person be the one who is careful and cautious?"

"But that person acted as if nothing was wrong, completely nonchalant."

What does this mean?

"This kid's putting on a show for us!" With that, Shen Zhijie yawned and sat up straight. "Everyone, go to sleep!"

Looking at the night outside the car, Shen Yu asked Nuo Yi, who was beside her, "Do you think they'll fall for it?"

Cold sweat began to form on Nuoyi's forehead, and he said in a slightly unnatural tone, "This... I'm not really sure either."

Shen Yu's eyes darkened slightly, and she stopped speaking.

The sudden silence made Nuoyi nervous and at a loss, but it was soon broken by a knock on the door.

This was the first time Nuoyi had ever felt that being disturbed was a happy thing.

Novan has returned. He looked at Shen Yu, who was still sipping red wine, and said, "Someone came to snatch the experimental subjects, but it wasn't Jiang Yao and the others."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yu paused in her swirling of the wine glass, glanced at the injured Nuofan, a gloomy look appearing and disappearing in her eyes, and a faint, cold smile curled at the corner of her lips, "Where is he!"

Novan's eyes held a hint of pity. "Already killed."

Shen Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, chewing on the words "already killed." Nuofan and Nuoyi understood that Shen Yu did not believe the result.

Nofan had just returned alone, which Jiang Yao found a bit strange. So she got up and carefully walked out. When Xiao Mu saw Jiang Yao get up and leave, he roughly knew what she wanted to do, and followed her slowly.

Jiang Yao carefully approached Shen Yu's car. After hearing Nuofan say that the person had been killed, she could clearly sense Shen Yu's distrust of Nuofan.

It seems that Nuofan has developed a rebellious attitude towards Shen Yu's actions. As for Nuoyi, well, he's just a sycophant.

After letting Nuofan rest, Shen Yu looked at Nuoyi with a cold gaze, "Remember, don't mention the Haizhou matter to your younger brother Nuofan."

"Yes, I understand."

Jiang Yao is becoming increasingly curious about Haizhou. What kind of place is Haizhou? Why do Xiao Mu and Shen Zhijie always remain silent when they hear about Haizhou?

Is there some hidden story behind this?

It seems I need to find an opportunity to go to Haizhou.

Suddenly, Jiang Yao's body stiffened slightly. She felt a familiar presence approaching from behind, so close that she could feel the other person's breath.

Xiao Mu leaned forward and pressed Jiang Yao down, whispering in her ear, "You'd better not plan to go to Haizhou alone. Even if you do go, it's best to go with me or Shen Zhijie."

"Haizhou is not as simple as you think."

Jiang Yao carefully stood up and looked at Xiao Mu, who was following her. "Oh, really?"

"Then tell me, what is it about Haizhou that makes you so afraid of me going there?" As she spoke, Jiang Yao slowly reached her hands toward Xiao Mu's chest.

Xiao Mu was pleased with Jiang Yao's current actions. He knew that his feelings for Jiang Yao went beyond mere admiration.

Seeing that Xiao Mu was no longer speaking, but instead looked at her hands in front of his chest, Jiang Yao subconsciously took her hands down.

Meeting Xiao Mu's gaze, she said indifferently, "I'm going back to sleep." She then ignored Xiao Mu.

After a night's rest, everyone was fully recharged and continued their journey.

Jiang Yao looked at the yellow sand on the horizon and signaled to Shen Zhijie, who was driving, to be careful, as a sandstorm was coming soon.

The convoy had to stop moving forward due to the sandstorm.

Looking at the yellow sand outside, Jiang Yao had a feeling that there was something in the sand. At this moment, Sang Ze behind her exclaimed, "Come and see!" pointing to a certain place outside the window.

Several dark figures rapidly approached the car from the yellow sand.

As the sandstorm dissipated, the experimental subjects gradually came into view. Jiang Yao, Xiao Mu, and the others quickly got out of the car and fought off the experimental subjects closest to them.

Inside the RV, Shen Yu quickly discovered that the experimental subject was different from what Old Zhao had told him. Although Novan had clearly shot the experimental subject in the head twice, the subject did not fall down, but only paused for a moment.

Shen Yu began to doubt whether the information Zhao Lao had given her about the experimental subjects was accurate.

At this moment, someone saw Jiang Yao and the others frantically attacking the experimental subject's head before the subject finally collapsed.

Everyone started to learn in a serious manner. Seeing everyone killing the experimental subjects like this, Jiang Yao felt that this was not a sustainable solution, since they had a limited amount of ammunition when they arrived.

With no other option, Jiang Yao began to coordinate with Xiao Mu and Shen Zhijie, who then fired long-range shots at the monster. During the brief moment when the monster paused, Jiang Yao used her Hou Dao to decapitate it.

The test subjects moved very quickly, and Jiang Yao had to predict the next hiding place before killing each one.

The evolution of the experimental subjects put the convoy at a disadvantage in the battle. If it weren't for the search for the RV, Jiang Yao and Xiao Mu would not have discovered the evolution of the experimental subjects.

The test subject quickly discovered that one of the test subjects was attacking Jiang Yao's hiding place from behind.

When Shen Zhijie and Xiao Mu discovered it, it was too late to tell Jiang Yao. Jiang Yao noticed the fear in their eyes, as if there was something terrifying on their side.

Jiang Yao subconsciously turned around and saw an experimental subject slipping through the gap she was hiding in from the other end, its claws only twenty millimeters away from her.

Jiang Yao no longer cared whether there were any experimental subjects outside. She subconsciously ran out from the gap, and Xiao Mu and Shen Zhijie were doing their best to buy her time.

Jiang Yao was quickly surrounded by the two test subjects. When Xiao Mu saw that Jiang Yao was in danger, a look of panic flashed in his eyes.

Just as the experimental subject was about to touch her, Jiang Yao blocked Hou Dao with her chest. Bang—bang—several gunshots rang out. It was Shen Zhijie and Xiao Mu firing at the same time. Jiang Yao didn't care about anything else. The experimental subject had a brief pause, and she quickly cut off its claws.

Xiao Mu quickly concealed the complex emotions in his eyes. The moment Jiang Yao rushed back, Shen Zhijie spoke up, "I didn't realize that!"

"You're really good at this game."

Jiang Yao's nervousness vanished the moment Shen Zhijie spoke. Xiao Mu stepped forward and took the halberd from Jiang Yao's hand, saying, "Let me do it!"

"Without the aid of the medicine, your strength will be exhausted very quickly."

After the close-range attack, Jiang Yao now regrets not injecting the improved drug.

The experimental subjects were quickly killed. Looking at the experimental subjects on the ground, Jiang Yao felt that she should not continue to advance towards the AAS area.
