Natural Disaster, I Madly Hoard Supplies and Flee

Jiang Zhi struggled bitterly in the apocalypse for ten years, but ultimately couldn't survive the world's cruelty. During those ten years, Jiang Zhi witnessed all sorts of tragic scenes. Pu...

Chapter 136 Encountering Danger

Wanfu licked his lips: "Mom, those people seem to have discovered us."

"Charge forward, but don't scare them. If they make any unusual moves, just kill them," Jiang Zhi said casually, stroking her black gloves.

Today she was wearing a black mink coat, thick snow boots, a solid-color thermal undershirt, a wool sweater underneath, a black rabbit fur scarf around her neck, a fluffy hat, and earmuffs, looking very warm.

Because Wanfu was moving so fast, she wore goggles and a mask to avoid irritating her mouth and nose.

This outfit looks very strange, but compared to death, beauty is not the object of pursuit.

Wanfu sped up and caught up with the group in just three minutes.

Liang Xiaodie's heart was in her throat. At the same time, Zuo Xuan and Zuo Qing sat back to back, their eyes full of vigilance. Jiao Kuang stared at the person sitting on the back of the mutated beast. Because the person was wrapped up very tightly, it was impossible to tell their appearance, so it was impossible to determine whether they were male or female.

After being frozen for so many years, supplies have become unimaginably scarce. Clothing is no longer differentiated by gender; as long as you can find or dig it up, even if it's summer clothes worn in winter, as long as it keeps you warm, no one cares what you're actually wearing.

Of course, the base also offers resource exchange. As long as you find useful resources, you can exchange them for what you want at the resource exchange point.

"What kind of monster is this? It looks like a cat, but is it a cat with horns?" During the apocalypse, Liang Xiaodie was only fourteen years old. Now, ten years into the apocalypse, she is twenty-four years old, and her knowledge has been somewhat lacking, making her seem a bit naive.

"I've seen this before. It looked like a saber-toothed tiger in my history textbook back then," Zuo Qing exclaimed.

"It really is true!"

“I remember now, when we set off, the base experts announced a fact: the mutations of the mutant beasts are more like the development of ancient beasts. Could this be true?” Liang Xiaodie’s eyes widened.

"That's enough. Can you stop talking for now? Are you sure this thing won't kill you if you keep talking?" Jiao Kuang interrupted their conversation.

He had just seen clearly that it was a woman, and a very beautiful woman with a rosy complexion.

She had just taken off her goggles for a few seconds and was listening to their conversation with amusement.

"Meow~" Wanfu cried out, but unfortunately, the robot was not human. Even if it was dragging a person across the snow, it could not remain indifferent when faced with a giant beast.

"Slow down, let them continue ahead." After Jiang Zhi finished speaking, Wan Fu stopped.

Wang Bing, who had been operating the robot in the cockpit, finally stopped shaking after seeing Wanfu stop. He then controlled the robot to speed up and head towards the base.

That's absolutely terrifying!

Suddenly accelerating, the person on the box leaned forward due to inertia and spun to the left, asking, "Brother Wang, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Bing replied from below, "It's nothing."

"That woman doesn't seem to want to hurt us. Why don't we slow down and try to talk to her?"

“I think so too. At worst, we’ll just die, but if we can figure out why she was able to tame the mutated beasts before we die, it might be a great achievement for the base and for all of humanity,” Zuo Qing said, looking at Jiao Kuang, the oldest person there.

Jiao Kuang is thirty-nine years old this year. After entering the Fuxi Base, he became a junior officer in the logistics department. He usually leads some people who have received missions to go out to break ice and dig out frozen supplies. As long as they are useful, they can be transported back to the base.

"Alright, I think you guys are just used to the leisurely life without any backstabbing at the Fuxi Base, which is why you've come up with such crazy ideas." Jiao Kuang didn't want to agree. In his opinion, it was better not to touch such unknown risks easily, lest you get yourself into trouble.

Just then, a roar came from behind the ice layer to the left, and a dangerous aura emanated from it.

Liang Xiaodie immediately exclaimed, "Danger! Get out of the way!"

Four or five tentacles pierced through the ice and attacked directly. The thick ice was as fragile as a tofu wall in front of these tentacles, and it shattered into pieces in an instant.

Liang Xiaodie jumped off the car a second before the tentacles struck her, disappearing into the snow and ice. She was dressed too thickly and struggled for a while before she managed to muster her powers to attack the tentacles.

The others in the car quickly moved away from the tentacles.

Zuo Qing shouted, "Xiao Die, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, how about you?"

Before Zuo Qing could answer, the tentacle struck again after the first strike missed. If Zuo Xuan hadn't pulled her back in time, she probably would have fallen into the snowdrift like Liang Xiaodie.

The robot launched its attack on the apocalypse, firing continuously toward the ice layer, but the thing was too cunning, and the dense bullets couldn't hit it.

Jiao Kuang, holding a gun, twisted to the left below and grabbed his leg to stabilize him. Jiao Kuang then fired a burst of shots, the bullets making a muffled sound, confirming that they had hit him.

A burst of flames immediately swept over, and the creature let out a painful roar, as if it were even more enraged.

The tentacles secreted a corrosive viscous liquid, which sizzled and emitted puffs of yellow smoke when it landed on the box.

"It's a mutated octopus! Damn it, how did I run into a high-level mutated octopus here?" Wang Bing felt like his hands were shaking so badly they were about to break.

The green crystal needed to be placed into the robot's energy chamber. The crystal was very small, and due to the fighting outside, it was shaking violently inside.

"Aaaaaah!" The corrosive slime stuck to Jiao Kuang's arm, instantly corroding his thick clothes and reaching his skin.

"Quickly wipe off the slime with snow!"

Shout while rotating to the left.

Two more tentacles attacked at that moment, and Zuo Xuan didn't have time to dodge them.

She watched helplessly as the two tentacles lashed out at her, and she seemed to foresee her own death...

Zuo Xuan closed his eyes, waiting for death to come, but he did not experience the pain he had imagined.

An unknown energy surged from somewhere and burned through the head of the mutated octopus. In pain, the mutated octopus quickly curled up into a ball and rolled on the ground in agony.

"My God! The head and body of that thing were emitting a nauseating burnt smell." Zuo Qing climbed onto the ice and saw the scene; he could hardly believe his eyes.

The next second, most of the mutated octopus disappeared before his eyes, leaving only a few tentacle remnants with still-active nerves twitching.

What kind of energy is so powerful?

Wang Bing stopped the robot, jumped into the snow and helped Liang Xiaodie up. Zuo Xuan, who had survived the ordeal, scooped up snow and cleaned Jiao Kuang's wounds.

Disgusting mucus.

Fortunately, he was wearing thick clothes; otherwise, Jiao Kuang might not have been able to save his arm if he had been shirtless.

“It must be her!” Liang Xiaodie pointed at Jiang Zhi, who was slowly walking over, and said with certainty, “It must be her who saved us just now.”
