Chapter 212 Roasted Sweet Potatoes

The fully upgraded zombies have plunged humanity, which had finally managed to catch its breath, back into immense danger.

Add to that natural disasters, and human survival becomes increasingly difficult.

However, this upgrade didn't change anything for Ling Ran and her group. After all, level one and level two were handled with a single sentence from the powerful figures.

I used to think that psychic abilities were cool, lightning abilities were cool, and flying abilities were good, but now I realize that none of them are as cool as the abilities of the big shots.

Words become law.

To paraphrase what I said before the apocalypse, I could wipe out the Japanese pirate islands with just a few words. What can you possibly use to fight me?

After traveling all morning, we even saw a small base in Tan City.

They fenced off a small rural area; the total number of people at the base was estimated to be no more than two hundred.

When Ling Ran and his group passed by, apart from someone secretly observing from the tower, the doors and windows of the entire base were tightly closed, and not a sound was made.

Pei Xiu peered through the car window and said, "Snail Base? What a strange base name."

"That is indeed strange."

Su Yimo, who was sitting next to him, peeked out and said, "This base is so small. I don't even dare to come out to look when I hear the car. There's no one patrolling outside."

The snail base was just a small interlude. After walking for a while, it was lunchtime, and everyone stopped in front of a factory building.

The factory was at the foot of the mountain, and there were hardly any people around. No one knew what kind of factory it was before. Anyway, apart from some dusty machines, there were only two zombies in the factory.

The two zombies were wearing tattered security guard uniforms. One had a large bite wound on its shoulder, and the other had half of its face missing, with maggots crawling inside and bones vaguely visible.

His old, wrinkled face was covered in ashen gray, and his eyes, with only the whites showing, were wide open. As he lunged forward, he threw a large fireball from his palm.

Su Yimo quickly threw out a water ball that was even bigger than the zombie and collided with the fireball!

The others also took action and quickly dealt with the two level-two zombies. After checking the area around the factory and finding no danger, Shen Nianshen took out cooking utensils and other supplies to cook for Uncle Chen and the others.

It was cold, so Uncle Chen set up an oven to roast the sweet potatoes he had gotten from He Quan, the wood-type ability user.

It's been a long time since I've had seafood, so Uncle Chen cooked a vegetable and clam soup with some scallops. It was so delicious it made my eyebrows fall off.

Smoke curls from the chimneys, and the aroma of food drifts on the wind into the distance.

Not far from here on the mountain, a thin brother and sister were carrying bags and looking for food on the outskirts of the mountain.

The younger brother suddenly sniffed and said, "Sister, it smells so good!"

The siblings looked quite young; the sister was about fifteen or sixteen, while the brother was only about ten.

The older sister smelled the aroma and swallowed hard, but quickly came to her senses: "Someone is cooking nearby, let's hide!"

The older sister took her younger brother's hand and quickly hid in a dense patch of grass.

They've checked the area; these plants won't attack people.

After waiting for a while, the aroma grew stronger and stronger. The younger brother sniffed and said, "Sister, I smell roasted sweet potatoes. I haven't had them in a long time."

As they spoke, both of their stomachs began to rumble.

The older sister patted her belly and comforted her younger brother, saying, "We'll have sweet potatoes to eat later." Then, she stood up and said, "Don't make a sound, let's see where the aroma is coming from."

The weather has been cold lately, and all the wild vegetables have frozen to death. The two siblings have started eating tree leaves.

The two tiptoed and quickly found the source of the fragrance: a factory at the foot of the mountain. The factory wasn't far from where they lived.
