Chapter 353 Peace

Lin sat in the truck bed, looking silently at the opposite side. The group of newcomers were busy packing up their tools in preparation for going out. Their movements seemed orderly, but their hands were actually trembling slightly.

Today is the third time that the second wave of survivors have gone out to collect supplies.

They've probably been at the base for a week.

General Chu summarized the lessons learned from the last population evacuation and formulated new regulations - in the first week here, they must attend three educational classes organized by relevant departments.

The first time was to familiarize themselves with the base's rules and regulations, as well as the holiday hotel's store rules and precautions (in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Chu Wanfu decided to have them uniformly publicize and introduce them).

The second time, a detailed map of the island will be shown, and each person will be given an official vegetable and fruit growth distribution map, which also includes the number of zombies.

Since zombies can move, the outbound team needs to record any major changes in the target area and report them promptly after returning to the city.

The third time, they had to leave the city, led by an official team, and test the waters within a distance of two kilometers.

It is said that everything is difficult at the beginning. Official soldiers lead people to take the first step, and the rest of the way depends on themselves.

At this time, several people got on the truck one after another and approached this direction. Lin stood up and sat in another corner, keeping some distance from them.

The aunt who just raised her hand to say hello was rejected coldly. Her face turned blue and red, and she was extremely embarrassed.

The person walking with her pulled her to sit down, feeling dissatisfied, he raised his voice:

"Why are you greeting him? He's a big shot in front of General Chu. How can he care about us lowly people? Sit down quickly. If you accidentally fall and hurt someone, you can't bear the responsibility!"

The aunt didn't say a word, but her face turned red with anger. She reached down with her hands and felt not the coldness of the iron sheet, but the warm body temperature. She stood up again in a flash.

The people traveling with her were stunned and quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Big sister, don't dare to hit her. We really can't afford to offend her. Captain Sang will scold her!"

The aunt looked around and said sullenly, "The feng shui here is bad. I'll sit somewhere else!"

The other people in the truck bed were sitting with their knees crossed and their eyes squinted to rest, but their eyelashes were trembling slightly. If you looked closely, you could see that their pupils were staring at Lin, who was daydreaming.

Why did it always feel like her supernatural power was like a golden bell covering her? Everything she didn't want to hear was just bounced back and didn't even register?

"Lin," Sang Zhengyi came over with a map. "Do you think this route is feasible? There's no road construction going on, right? Lin?!"

Just like a fish sleeping soundly at the bottom of the sea having its bubble popped, Lin suddenly woke up, glanced around, and drew a C shape on a certain section of the road with her finger.

"This place is blocked. Before the apocalypse, some naughty kids stuffed a few firecrackers into the manhole cover, and it flew all over the place. It was fenced off and no one has repaired it yet."

Sang Zhengyi glanced at her with a strange look.

"...Okay, everything else is fine?"

Lin shook her head.

Sang Zhengyi gave Chu Wanfu a copy of the revised map and said, "Get ready to go!"

The roar of cars starting up came from all directions, and people climbed into the cars nimbly. The empty truck bed suddenly became crowded, so Lin withdrew her feet.

She looked through the gap and saw the scenes of people saying goodbye to their families.

"Be careful!"

"Come back safely!"

"Don't worry, it's okay. There are so many people here, just wait for me at home." He lowered his voice, "Remember to run to the hotel if anything happens!"

"...I know...I'll wait until you get home."

Lin stared at them crying. In the sunlight, clear tears slid down their faces and disappeared between their collars. She seemed to hear a hissing sound, like a drop of sweat suddenly falling on the hot ground.

She looked away and suddenly saw Xia Yan in the safe zone, smiling and waving at her, his lips moving.

"Have a safe journey."

Lin's back straightened, "Got it!"

Only then did she feel a sense of reality that she was connected to this world.

"Look, Boss Xia is on good terms with her."

"Does she have some magical powers? Why is everyone willing to take care of her?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let her hear! Besides, her joining isn't a bad thing. At least it's better than those locals. We haven't been hindered by her these past few days, and our supplies have more than doubled compared to before!"

"That's right. I just thought about chatting with her because she was always alone and pitiful. We're all women, and we all have hard lives. I don't want to seem like I'm targeting her. I just didn't think of it. Oh, forget it."

The wind will spread the words you least want others to hear everywhere.

Lin really wanted to retort, but then she thought again and realized that she really didn't want to have a good relationship with anyone.

If she hadn't lacked crystal cores, she would have stayed in the hotel like the locals they were talking about, watching these people busying around with cold eyes.

Once Chu Wanfu gets the information he wants, the cooperation between the two will naturally end.

Lin tucked her wind-blown hair behind her ears, looked at the thin clouds gradually dissipating in the blue sky, and thought, let's just consider it as accumulating good karma for my daughter.

...

"roar--!!"

Familiar roars gathered from all directions.

Sang Zhengyi and Qi Hua jumped out of the car, grabbed shovels and guarded both sides of the truck with the team members.

The military vehicle that was about to disappear in the front suddenly turned its head. Before it stopped, countless soldiers jumped out of it, holding special guns, and surrounded the teams in the middle.

"All teams!" Chu Wanfu said in a deep voice, "The zombies are coming! Prepare for battle!"

The dense and chaotic sound of footsteps dragging was like the most turbulent river tide, rumbling and crashing into everything it encountered, gushing out from every block!

In the blink of an eye, the empty blocks were filled with highly decayed faces and scratching withered hands, so densely packed that it seemed there was no end!

"hiss--!"

"It's a zombie wave!!"

"Everyone's fighting!!!"

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Chu Wanfu, who was standing on the roof of the car, opened fire first. The muzzle of his gun continuously fired out a series of special energy bullets, rushing straight towards the zombie tide with fierce and powerful power!

At the same time, the soldiers in the front row kept their fingers on the triggers, and dense special bombs fell from the sky like a flood, and wherever they went, there was a violent sound of bombing!

Zombie fragments flew straight into the sky, broken arms and debris fell like heavy rain, and a foul smell exploded.

The remains of the zombies that died for the second time piled up into a small hill. An endless stream of zombies followed and climbed to the top, then scrambled to jump down!

“Boom, boom, boom—!”

Huge fireballs rushed forward with heat waves, and began to burn violently when they hit the zombies.

“Sizzle—sizzle!”

Thick purple lightning passed over the towering mountain of debris and fell down with the force of breaking the sky. The ultra-high voltage current directly turned the zombies into charcoal!

Colorful supernatural powers cut through the sky, dragging long tails, starting from the protected center and falling straight into the pile of zombies!
