Chapter 647 The Seven-Man Squad

After dealing with the mutated beast, Ling Ran prepared to take a lunch break.

The others were assigned to shifts.

In the past, they only needed to watch out for zombies, but now that's not necessarily the case. If there's one mutated beast, there will be two, three, or even more.

Zombies are now in large numbers, but they can be avoided if you're careful. As for mutated beasts, no patterns have been discovered yet, but they are expected to become a new threat to humanity soon.

After lunch break, everyone packed up their things and continued on their way.

As expected, while looking for a place to rest that night, they encountered another large python.

Zhou Hang immediately blurted out: "Damn it, this is Ning Province where it's tens of degrees below zero. Doesn't this python hibernate?"

You really do see everything when you live a long life.

This giant python was only level seven, so in theory, it shouldn't have been a problem for everyone to deal with it. However, the snake was incredibly fast, darting around under the thick snow. It was extremely cunning, and Zhou Hang, Su Yimo, and the others were caught off guard and were ambushed by the snake several times, all of them getting injured.

Fortunately, it's not serious; I'll be fine after a few days of rest.

Sure enough, when you see one cockroach on the surface, there are already countless cockroaches underneath.

The appearance of the tiger was not accidental.

They traveled through the snow for about half a month, encountering countless mutated beasts, but they did encounter one every other day.

Pei Xiu and his companions suffered both old wounds and new ones, but the fight with the mutated beasts greatly improved their combat skills and teamwork.

That day, while everyone was resting and eating under the tents outside, Gu Zijing suddenly put down her chopsticks and frowned as she sensed the approach and said, "Someone is coming, about three kilometers away."

Even after reaching level seven, Gu Zijing's mental abilities only expanded to a diameter of three kilometers.

Although Gu Zijing was somewhat disappointed with the distance, it was still enough for a team to avoid many dangers.

Everyone was quite excited upon hearing the news.

Chen Le hurriedly asked, "How many people are there?"

"It's a team of seven, five men and two women, all of whom are superhumans."

"If they can get here, they must be on a mission. There should be a base here," Pei Yi analyzed.

"Ningxia is a populous province, so there should be more than just two bases. It's normal to encounter another base."

Everyone ate and chatted, showing no sign of being nervous or on guard against the seven people who were about to arrive; they went about their business as usual.

On the other side.

The seven-person team trudged through the ice and snow, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.

Two days ago, they encountered a level six mutated beast on the road. After a fierce battle, three of their companions died, and the seven of them managed to escape.

The seven of them were injured and walked cautiously, afraid of encountering mutated beasts again.

One of the girls in the group, around thirty years old, had pale lips, her short hair was a mess from the wind, and her skin was red and cracked. She pursed her lips and said, "Brother Jing, how much further? I can't hold on much longer."

The man called Brother Jing looked to be around forty years old, about 1.8 meters tall, and very strong. He was wearing a thick military overcoat. Upon hearing this, he looked around, identified the direction and terrain, and said, "We'll be in Fengrun Town in less than ten kilometers. We can find a house to rest there then."

As he was talking, he suddenly saw a military green shed ahead and immediately became alert, saying, "There are people ahead!"

Everyone else saw it too; the shed was not only tall but also large, making it very conspicuous in a world where the sky and earth seemed to be all white.

"What should we do, Brother Jing? Should we go over there?"

They were currently injured, exhausted, and had run out of food. They would be completely defenseless should their attackers attempt to harm them.
