In an apocalypse overrun by zombies and full of lurking dangers, a saying has always circulated: "When light is devoured, it is the day of the Enigma's descent. They will become the king of...
Chapter 68
This hurricane brought heavy snow and affected many areas in the south, north and east.
The sudden hurricane snow covered the already desolate city in the end of the world with a thick layer of white snow.
The temperature dropped sharply.
The zombies on the street were affected by this and moved slowly. When their limbs twisted, you could hear the creaking sound of stiff joints, which made them look a bit like zombies.
Elena and Tang Mary met first. Baichuan, who was a little further away, was tripped up by something and finally met after several hours.
The three of them met, and Tang Mali was annoyed that Bai Chuan wasted her time. "Bai Chuan, it's a pity that you have wind-type abilities, but your speed is so slow?"
"Of course I'm late because of something." Bai Chuan took out his communicator from his arms. His and Tang Mary's communicators were more advanced than those of Elena, Lou Tiannan and others, and had a camera function.
He showed the thumb-sized image to Don Mary and Elena.
Because there was no projector, the two-centimeter photo was all black and white and it was hard to see anything.
Tang Mali didn't bother to look closely and asked directly, "What are you filming?"
"The side hall of Aurora Church."
"What happened to them?"
"I was blown to the side hall of Aurora by the hurricane. I originally thought it was just a side hall that few people went to, but when I received your signal and was about to go find you, I found a lot of things that Aurora priests were transporting into those side halls."
"Supplies?" It's not surprising to hear about storing supplies.
"Of course not, it's potions and zombies."
"Zombies?" Elena, who was studying the small image, looked up in surprise.
"Yes, zombies, all living zombies, sent into a side hall." Bai Chuan said seriously, "I wanted to get closer, but I found that the side hall, which appeared to be empty, was filled with guards in the dark. I roughly counted and found at least a hundred zombies sent in, and they were all of high level."
Aurora, the living zombie.
These two words together sound very strange.
"Don't worry about the zombies. Have you contacted Lin Bai? Why can't I find her signal frequency here?" Although Tang Mary was puzzled by Aurora's behavior, she didn't care too much. She just wanted to confirm Lin Bai's safety first.
"I've been trying to contact them. The signal was already bad, and with the arrival of the hurricane, there's even less signal." Baichuan adjusted the communicator in his hand.
"Where is Lou Tiannan? Can't we contact Lou Tiannan?" Tang Mali paced back and forth in the building anxiously.
Elena was also anxious, but she knew that being anxious was useless, so she forced herself to calm down, "Let's go to East District 5 first. Lou Tiannan will take the original blood vaccine to the East District 5 Federal Security Zone to deliver the mission."
"It's not certain that Lin Bai will go even if Lou Tiannan goes." Tang Mali said unhappily. She didn't care whether Lou Tiannan completed the mission or not.
Hearing Tang Mary's words, Bai Chuan raised his head suddenly, as if remembering something, and said, "No! No no no no! Lin Bai will go, she will definitely go."
Elena and Tang Mary didn't know that Lin Bai was a bionic man, but he knew! According to his observations over the past few days, Lin Bai's charging method is probably based on light and heat energy. Now that there is a hurricane and snow outside and the temperature is so low, Lin Bai will definitely stay with Lou Tiannan.
Tang Mali was still wondering how Bai Chuan could be so sure when she heard Elena say, "Yes, Lin Bai will follow Lou Tiannan."
"Hmm?" How could these two be so sure? Tang Mary looked at Bai Chuan, then at Elena, her face full of confusion.
When Baichuan heard Elena's words and met her eyes, they were both thinking: How did Elena/Baichuan know for sure that Lin Bai would follow Lou Tiannan?
Just as Baichuan and Elena were speculating with each other, Lin Bai indeed followed Lou Tiannan on the road.
The destination is the East Fifth District Federal Security Zone.
It is the largest security zone in the Federation, where all the important figures of the Federation gather.
But her destination was not the Federal Security Zone, she wanted to go to Aurora Church in the East Fifth District.
The snow was very thick, almost above the two people's knees, making it very inconvenient to walk, and the progress was slowed down again and again.
Lin Bai used to like snow very much, but now she hates it very much. The cold snow increases her energy consumption. If Lou Tiannan was not by her side, her energy would be exhausted in less than a day.
"Are you okay?" Lou Tiannan turned his head to look at Lin Bai beside him.
"Not very good, very cold." Lin Bai said truthfully.
The two of them walked for a whole day before they reached the border of North District 2. On the way, they encountered a dozen zombies, each of them like a puppet with a broken string, chasing after them with a squeaking sound and moving surprisingly slowly.
No special powers are needed, the two men can just knock their heads off with sticks they picked up.
Lin Bai casually collected three second-level zombie crystal cores.
Seeing her behavior, Lou Tiannan finally asked the confusion that had been weighing on his heart for a long time: "Why have you been collecting zombie crystal cores?" He was worried that Lin Bai was going to use this crystal core to absorb energy to enhance her superpowers. This shortcut method of enhancing superpowers was not advisable.
"For visiting my partner's grave." Lin Bai was very good at making excuses, especially to fool Lou Tiannan. She felt that Lou Tiannan would believe whatever she said.
Lin Bai took two steps and didn't hear any movement from the people beside her. Puzzled, she turned her head and saw Lou Tiannan standing there looking at her. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his sharp eyebrows were slightly lowered. He looked angry but not angry. "Why don't you leave?"
Hearing this, Lou Tiannan followed Lin Bai. He looked into the distance and asked nonchalantly, "What are you going to do next?"
"Then?" Then he would go to Aurora to settle the score. Lin Bai thought to himself. But on the surface, he looked innocent. "You got the original blood vaccine, didn't you? I'm just waiting for good news from you and the Federation."
"Then what?" Lou Tiannan asked again.
"And then?" Lin Bai wondered why Lou Tiannan was so talkative at the moment. She let her thoughts wander and made up a lie: "And when the apocalypse ends, we'll rebuild our home and live a good life. Oh, and Xiya, raise her well. She's quite adorable, isn't she?"
"Yeah." Lou Tiannan responded. Xiya was indeed very cute. His Adam's apple moved, and he felt a little dry in his throat, but he still asked slowly: "After that, did you raise her alone?"
"Of course not." Lin Bai denied without hesitation. She didn't like raising children.
Lou Tiannan clenched his hands on his legs, "Then... you are..."
"Baichuan, Tang Mary, including you, it seems that everyone likes Xiya very much. When the time comes, we can allocate Xiya's time. She will stay at Tang Mary's place for three days, at Baichuan's place for five days, and after a few days, Elena can help take care of her..." Lin Bai felt that everyone should not refuse her small request.
Hearing Lin Bai's heartless words, Lou Tiannan's brows, which had just relaxed, twisted again. How could he forget that Lin Bai really didn't care about raising children at all? He looked at Lin Bai's profile and asked the question he wanted to ask: "Have you never thought about finding another partner?"
"Pfft." Lin Bai's first reaction when she heard Lou Tiannan's words was to find it funny. She didn't know why, but she just wondered why Lou Tiannan would ask her such a question. The question itself was funny, and the person who asked the question made it doubly funny.
In the icy snow, Lou Tiannan looked at Lin Bai's smile with a bit of a daze. It seemed like it was the first time he saw Lin Bai smile like that. He turned away uncomfortably, hiding the emotion in his eyes, and asked nonchalantly: "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm just kidding, Captain Lou." Lin Bai continued walking forward, intentionally teasing Lou Tiannan, "Don't ask this kind of question next time. If my partner hears, she might get mad! Her soul in heaven won't rest in peace."
When Lou Tiannan heard Lin Bai's answer, he didn't think she was joking. Her answer was like a stone pressing on his heart. He couldn't describe the feeling, not uncomfortable, but not too uncomfortable either. Then he slowly thought: She really likes her partner very much.
He had actually known about this for a long time, but when it was confirmed again, he still felt a little tight in his chest. Moreover, he still had some questions to ask Lin Bai, but...
He touched the box of vaccines on his chest. The most important thing for him right now was to complete the task first.
Lou Tiannan didn't ask Lin Bai any more questions. They continued on their way, occasionally checking if the communicator could contact other people.
Finally, on the second day after they arrived in North District 1, they received intermittent signal frequency.
The closer we got to the east district, the better the signal frequency became, and finally we heard Baichuan's voice ringing in the signal frequency.
"The three of us have already met up and are heading to East District 5. What about you?"
"Lou Tiannan and I are in North District 1 and on our way to East District 5, but it's snowing so heavily that it will probably take a few days to get there." Lin Bai and Lou Tiannan replied to Baichuan while sitting in the sundry warehouse in North District 1.
It was snowing heavily outside, heavy snow.
It started snowing as soon as they arrived in North District 1, and it continued to snow for two days and two nights. The snow, which was already knee-high, was now almost reaching their waists.
The situation in Baichuan is similar to that in North District 1. "It's snowing heavily here too. We've even found traces of the federal army. Elena said it's the federal rescue team, but Captain Lou's team members didn't follow them."
Lou Tiannan asked solemnly, "None of them followed the federal rescue team?"
"Yes, we looked carefully, but those familiar people were not there. Xiya was not there either. Elena was trying to contact them, but there is no clue yet."
Lin Bai and Lou Tiannan looked at each other. She gave the communicator to Lou Tiannan and then tried to find Xiya.
At this time, Xiya was in Zhou Yu's arms. They were running fast in the snow to avoid being chased by the zombies with special powers behind them.
They were originally waiting for Lou Tiannan and others in the building. After seeing the explosion on the upper floors of the 621 Biomedical Research Institute, they knew that Lou Tiannan and others were in danger, but they could not contact Lou Tiannan and could only watch the situation from the window.
However, the darkness of the night coupled with the hurricane and blizzard obstructed their vision, and they had no idea about Team Lou's situation. On the second day of the hurricane, they were targeted by suddenly appearing mutant zombies.
There was only one mutant zombie that they could barely kill together, but not long after, another mutant zombie appeared in the building. They knew they could no longer stay in the building, so taking advantage of the heavy snow, several people fled towards the East Fifth District.
Xiya held the doll in Zhou Yu's arms and accumulated strength for herself. When the energy was accumulated, she created a fireball to clear the way for Zhou Yu, Song Yan and others.
Zhou Yu would throw some iron blocks and chains back from time to time to hinder the zombies.
Just when everyone was a little exhausted, they heard Xiya suddenly shouting excitedly: "Uncle, uncle! Left, left! Mom, Mom is looking for me!"
