Apocalyptic Wasteland: I Hold the Infrastructure System

Jiang Lin was an orphan. Just as she finally got into university, the apocalypse descended. All land was polluted, and plants could not grow.

Relying on years of survival experience from the ...

In a hurry, Jiang Lin reached out to grab it, but he was still a step too late. The moss creature was tightly attached to Shen Xu's face.

People in the hospital ran out screaming.

Shen Xu was relatively calm. After the panic, he began to pull the thing off his face with his hands. But the green thing was as slippery as a loach.

He felt his breathing space gradually disappearing.

Jiang Lin squatted down, grabbed the moss creature violently, and pulled it back. The thing was pulled reluctantly, and simply let go of Shen Xu's face.

Jiang Lin fell backwards uncontrollably and was caught steadily by Wen Yan. The next second, the green thing was frozen by Jiang Lin's special ability and fell to the floor with a plop.

The people around breathed a sigh of relief, but Xie Anran was stunned. The prophecy she saw actually came true. These things were really alive.

If Jiang Lin hadn't heard the sound just now, when it slowly came out of the gap in the freezer at night, the hospital would really have become the tragic scene she saw.

The frozen moss creature turned into powder in Jiang Lin's hands.

"Is this a mutant plant?" Shen Xu asked with lingering fear.

Jiang Lin shook her head, then nodded. This thing should also be considered a mutant plant, but she had never seen it before. Thinking of this horrible thing everywhere in City B, Jiang Lin had a headache.

"Mutated plants are everywhere now, and you haven't seen many of them yet." Tang Xiaoyan whispered beside her.

Shen Xu's expression was a little solemn. Just such a small green thing could cause such great damage. Was it really a good decision to let the survivors of the underwater base go ashore?

He was somewhat doubtful about his decision.

Jiang Lin looked at Xie Anran with a complicated expression. If the moss creature had succeeded just now, would it have sucked Shen Xu's blood dry, just like what Xie Anran saw in his dream.

She looked at the frightened Xie Anran and patted her back soothingly: "If you see anything again, be sure to tell me."

Although he didn't know how his predictive ability was triggered, Xie Anran still nodded heavily.

After this accident, there is no one left in the hospital, and the remaining few people are helping Tang Xiaoyan clean up the mess in the hospital.

In the underground air-raid shelter of City B, a group of pale and thin people leaned weakly against the wall. They were already accustomed to keeping silent in the harsh environment.

Qin Yun, the most capable one, hadn't found any food for several days. She closed her eyes to conserve her strength as much as possible. The green monsters outside were becoming more and more rampant. If this continued, they would definitely die here.

The beggar-like man next to him had a weak breath, and Qin Yun even doubted whether he was still alive.

"We can't go on like this. Get me out." Qin Yun said softly. If he stayed in the air-raid shelter any longer, he would either be killed by the green moss or starve to death.

The man raised his bony hand, and a powerful vine slowly emerged from the wall of the air-raid shelter. He had plant-based abilities.

Qin Yun grabbed the vines and slowly climbed up.

She felt a little dizzy and her hands and feet were a little weak. The normal exit of the air-raid shelter was sealed, so this was her only way out.

She was lucky. When she went out, there weren't many moss creatures around.

Qin Yun walked lightly on the land. In the silent night, there was no sound in City B. She walked alone in the darkness, using the moonlight to move to the supply point she often visited.

It was a supermarket, and the quiet things inside had been emptied, leaving only some puffed foods whose packaging made a lot of noise.

In the dark supermarket, Qin Yun could only rely on her own eyes to identify the surrounding environment. She had to be extremely careful to avoid bumping into shelves or obstacles.

Bread is better than puffed food and makes less noise when eaten, although the packaging bag is also made of plastic.

Qin Yun carefully placed them in the special backpack she carried with her. She walked back quietly, her desire for food making her leave faster.

There was a silver-grey object in front of him, shining brightly. When Qin Yun was about to avoid it, he stepped on something slippery and bumped into it.

Pain radiated from her ankle, but she couldn't make a sound.

The moss creatures in the supermarket heard the noise and quickly moved towards her. Qin Yun sat on the ground, her breathing stagnant.

Fortunately, these creatures only stayed around for a while, and when they found that they could no longer hear any sound, they left in disappointment. Qin Yun slowly recovered his breath.

She really wanted to breathe deeply, but in order not to make loud noises, she could only inhale air into her lungs little by little.

After making sure that the surrounding moss creatures had returned to a silent state, Qin Yun slowly got up from the ground, feeling a piercing pain in his ankle.

Her eyes went dark and she walked back, enduring the pain.

After finally returning to the air-raid shelter, she was already a breath away, lying limp on the ground. The man got up and bandaged her wound with rags.

"Will that group of people come back?" Qin Yun felt a little regretful that he did not take the risk to rush forward at that time.

"You can't be sure they will save us. If they don't help us, we will be sucked dry by the moss creatures that pounce on us." The man stuffed the rag in.

Qin Yun ate the bread that already had a strange taste in her mouth: "But we can't survive here for long." There are more and more moss creatures, and their living space is terribly small.

Qin Yun didn't hear the man's reply for a long time. After an unknown amount of time, she heard a faint sigh. The entire underground air-raid shelter was surrounded by a dead air.

This was the first time she had felt despair since the end of the world. Her stomach was empty, having been comforted by expired food for a long time, and her body was covered with wounds of all sizes.

Qin Yun felt very tired. She fell asleep on her own and felt that her life was almost over.

Half asleep, half awake, she saw a simple, tidy place. On the table was some unfinished food, which seemed to include rice and some seafood.

Qin Yun couldn't help but grab the leftovers and stuff them into his mouth, but he only grabbed empty space.

Xie Anran looked at the strange woman who appeared in her room with horror. She looked to be in a very bad condition.

Suddenly Qin Yun felt a huge suction force, and she stretched out her hand: "Save me, save me." Xie Anran looked behind her, and a dark air-raid shelter background appeared.

There were many emaciated and half-dead people lying inside. She glanced at the wall and vaguely saw the words "B City Air-raid Shelter".

The next second, Xie Anran suddenly sat up from the bed. It started raining outside again. This was actually another dream. Since the non-stop dreaming began, Xie Anran's spirits were not very good.

Now she was no longer sleepy. She looked at the food left on the table because she had no appetite, and thought of the skinny woman.

Xie Anran got up from the bed, put on her raincoat, and knocked on Jiang Lin's door.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Lin saw Xie Anran wearing a raincoat appear at the door. She yawned and felt a little sleepy. It was raining outside, so she quickly let Xie Anran in.

"I saw the survivors in City B."

"Those under the sea?" Jiang Lin yawned and a few tears fell from her eyes, making her feel much more awake.

"No, they were stranded on land. They seemed to be in an air-raid shelter, and they were dying." The last scene in the air-raid shelter left a deep impression on Xie Anran.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Lin guiltily. She knew the danger of going to City B, and all this was just a dream.

"You want me to save them?" Jiang Lin directly pointed out Xie Anran's thoughts.

Xie Anran felt awkward and guilty for some reason: "Yes, but this was just a dream..."

Jiang Lin lowered his head and thought for a moment. "Your dream has come true. There's a high probability that such an air-raid shelter really exists. However, the mutant plants in City B are too dangerous. We don't understand their habits, so we need to be well prepared."

Before Jiang Lin finished speaking, there was another violent knock on the door. She stood up speechlessly and opened the door. Outside was Shen Xu with wet hair.

Shen Xu saw that there was a stranger in Jiang Lin's room, and he felt a little embarrassed for his recklessness: "Song Si, Song Si went ashore without permission. I want to go to City B."

Jiang Lin folded his hands over his chest, wondering why everyone wanted to go to City B.

"I understand, but we can only leave tomorrow. Also, are you familiar with City B?" Jiang Lin looked at Shen Xu and asked.

"Very familiar, I was born and raised in City B." Shen Xu didn't know why Jiang Lin asked this, but he answered truthfully.

"Do you know where the air-raid shelter in City B is?"

"There are two air-raid shelters in City B, one near the original city center and one in the far suburbs. Which one are you talking about?" Shen Xu looked at Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin turned to look at Xie Anran, but Xie Anran shook her head. She only knew that it was an air-raid shelter in City B, but she didn't know which one it was.

"I think it should be the one in the city center, because it's in the far suburbs and it's not convenient to go out to look for supplies." Jiang Lin thought that his original house was also in the suburbs, and it took a long time to walk every time he went out to look for supplies.

Those survivors who were able to survive for so long must have been in a place where they could easily find supplies.

Unexpectedly, Shen Xu shook his head: "Not necessarily. There is a large warehouse-style supermarket next to the air-raid shelter in the far suburbs. I think if there are any survivors, they should be in the air-raid shelter in the far suburbs."

Jiang Lin thought it made sense, so he pushed the two of them out the door. "Let's talk about going to City B tomorrow. I need some sleep now."

She was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. Xie Anran and Shen Xu rubbed their noses. It was indeed a bit strange to disturb people at this time. Fortunately, Jiang Lin had a really good temper.

Xie Anran and Shen Xu each thought about their own things and returned to where they lived.

On the other side, Qin Yun woke up from his dream and found that his mouth was covered.

"What did you dream about? Why are you shouting?" The man let go of his hand when he saw Qin Yun wake up.

Qin Yun breathed a sigh of relief: "I dreamed of a place with food and shelter." She touched her shriveled belly. The food in her dream was still in front of her eyes, and Qin Yun seemed to be able to smell its fragrance.

"Is it almost dawn?" Qin Yun looked up and saw faint light coming in from the gap in the air-raid shelter.

The man took a look and said, "It's almost light."

"I don't agree. This is too risky." Cui Yawen frowned and looked at the young people below, and saw that their young and energetic faces were dimmed again.

"There are such dangerous mutant plants in City B now. Your partner can return to the bottom of the sea, but yours is just a dream. But if you go there, you may really lose your own life." Cui Yawen heard the news early in the morning and almost couldn't breathe.

The last time Jiang Lin and the others were going to City B to pick up Chen Xu, she was already nervous enough. This time, knowing that there were such dangerous mutant plants, she didn't want them to take any more risks.

"I think we can go. The seaside base is very short of people right now. Maybe those survivors can help us." Jiang Lin persuaded Cui Yawen.

Cui Yawen glanced at Jiang Lin, which made her feel a little guilty.

"Okay, I'm old now, and I understand you want to save people. But if anything happens to any of you, we'll be sad."

Jiang Lin lowered his head: "Then let's go now."

During the conversation, Sheng Wei appeared at the door carrying a large bag of food and heavy weapons. Seeing everyone looking at her, Sheng Wei smiled and said, "I knew we would have to go to City B in the end, so I packed everything in advance."

Cui Yawen felt like she was about to have a heart attack. These young people had really guessed her.

Instead, Shen Xu felt embarrassed. He felt like a burden and had been making things worse. This was an experience he had never had before in the underwater base.

There were many people going this time, and they didn't know how many people they would bring back, so they drove out an armored vehicle and an earthquake vehicle.

Wen Yan is the best driver, and he drives a seismic vehicle alone.

Everyone else was in the armored vehicle. Tang Xiaoyan was driving, wearing goggles, while Jiang Lin sat in the passenger seat. Sheng Wei was cleaning his gun in the back seat. The atmosphere was strangely harmonious.

It seemed like they were not going on a very dangerous mission, but just going on vacation.

This road had been repaired by Jiang Lin last time, and it was much faster to drive on. Shen Xu was a little surprised. He just thought that technology had developed again when they went to the bottom of the sea.

The sign for City B is already in sight. This quiet city has welcomed fresh blood.

The two cars drove smoothly into City B. This place was very close to the air-raid shelter in the suburbs, so everyone planned to go here first to verify Xie Anran's dream.

Shen Xu sat in the back seat with his eyes closed. He was worried about Song Si's situation. What happened that made her go ashore rashly?

This time, the moss creature gave up watching and rushed directly towards the car body that made the sound.

Tang Xiaoyan calmly turned on the wipers on the car window.

The armored vehicle's wipers were very strong and scraped off all the moss creatures stuck on the windows, making a squeaking sound.

It makes one's scalp tingle.

"Why are you looking at me?" Tang Xiaoyan noticed Jiang Lin's eyes on her face out of the corner of her eye.

Jiang Lin touched her nose. She always felt that Tang Xiaoyan had a kind of calm madness.
