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 143 Battle

After dinner, Zhou Heng talked about many things that had happened at the Shuofang base over the years.

A year ago, they received a message from the Fuxi Base, and then spent half a year preparing, slowly relocating and settling in before finally arriving at the Fuxi Base.

The Shuofang Base initially grew to over ten million people, but as the apocalypse progressed and the environment became increasingly harsh, by the tenth year of the apocalypse, the Shuofang Base had only about four million people left.

That's how cruel the end times are.

After entering the ice age, natural disasters such as earthquakes have indeed decreased significantly, but they have been replaced by endless snowstorms.

Hundreds of thousands died on the migration route.

Although no one wanted to die, if they continued to guard the Shuofang base, these millions of people might not be able to survive for long. In order for the majority of people to survive, many people chose to sacrifice themselves.

Perhaps they never wanted to live in the first place, and just wanted to make their deaths more meaningful.

This is what they mean by "when a person is about to die, they do good deeds."

Zhou Heng is currently a lieutenant general who works under General Huo Xi and frequently goes on missions.

Their goal is to eliminate the mutated beasts and secure more survival resources and living space for the base.

In recent years, mutated beasts have become increasingly ferocious. If they are allowed to develop unchecked, humanity may lose all breathing space in the future.

Jiang Zhi came back this time to see what direction the world would take after the polar night. Of course, as long as she was there, these people wouldn't starve to death.

Will the polar night disappear?

How does polar night occur? Is it because of a problem with the Earth's rotation, or a problem with the sun itself? This is an answer Jiang Zhi never got in her previous life.

After parting ways with Zhou Heng, Jiang Zhi returned to her dormitory. Wan Fu said resentfully, "Mom, your beloved little darling is almost starving! But Mom hasn't cared about whether the little darling lives or dies all day!"

"Get lost!" Jiang Zhi said irritably, "If you keep talking like that, don't even think about getting a bite to eat from me in the future."

"Aww, I was wrong, no!" Wanfu immediately admitted his mistake, and his attitude was quite good. Only then did Jiang Zhi enter the space to make him a big bowl of braised beef noodles, and also give him the meat of a mutated goose.

The next day, the clouds in the sky seemed to have cleared up a bit. After Jiang Zhi helped the base ripen 5,000 jin of grain, she took a ride on the base's robot outside for some fresh air.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the sky seemed a bit whiter and not as dark as before.

Between the bases of Pangu, Fuxi, and others, there was a large frozen layer. Jiang Zhi jumped off the robot and carefully observed this frozen soil where the snow had been cleared.

Unfortunately, this place is not suitable for planting.

Suddenly, the base's alarm sounded—

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! A horde of mutated beasts!"

"Flying beasts! All departments, prepare yourselves! All departments, prepare yourselves!"

After the alarm sounded, the entire base was shaken. Thousands of superhumans rushed out from all directions of the base, some of them quickly putting on their winter clothes as they walked, as if they had done this a thousand times before.

"Old Wei! See you then!"

"Old Gu, you must stay alive!"

"Let's go! This time I'm going to kill some of its meat and have a good meal!"

"All the crystals are mine."

Jiang Zhi hadn't gone far when Han Xing called her back, saying that the base's higher-ups wouldn't allow her to participate in the battle.

"Why?" Jiang Zhi asked, puzzled.

"Because you are the hope of the base. As long as you are safe, those people will at least not starve. But if you sacrifice yourself because of this, the base will truly lose its motivation to survive."

The Korean star said very solemnly.

Jiang Zhi's existence is already a legend in the base. Those who were contemplating suicide heard that a super powerful plant-type ability user had arrived. She brought hope for food. The rice they had been eating in the canteen for the past two days was ripened by her. She had also cultivated cold-resistant rice and wheat... She brought hope for survival!

They did not choose to die; they believed that the survivors would overcome their misfortune and survive all their suffering.

Therefore, Jiang Zhi cannot be harmed. Even if Zhou Renchang dies, Jiang Zhi cannot die!

These are Zhou Renchang's original words.

Jiang Zhi turned her back and looked at the dim sky in the distance. Only then did she realize her own importance.

But so what?

“I can fight, and I will not die,” Jiang Zhi assured him.

The Korean star was still blocking her way.

“Everyone wants to see the day when the light comes, and I’m no exception. Besides, don’t underestimate me.” Jiang Zhi pushed away Han Xing’s arm that was blocking her way, her eyes becoming more and more determined.

This is a seed that Zhang Zhaohe planted eight years ago, and now it has sprouted in Jiang Zhi's heart.

The Korean star stood still for two seconds, then followed.

Mutant beasts, whether flying in the sky, running on the ground, or swimming in the water, surged upwards in droves, rushing towards humans as if they were hot commodities.

Humans also have their own tactics. They work in teams of three or five to deal with them and take the opportunity to kill them.

Many people also died in the jaws of beasts and were devoured; the scene was extremely gruesome.

Jiang Zhi summoned Wanfu, which transformed into her mount in an instant. Han Xing, who was following behind and trying to protect Jiang Zhi, was dumbfounded.

She can actually control mutated beasts? What kind of monster is she?

No, this isn't control; this mutated beast is clearly her pet cat.

According to the records, Jiang Zhi did indeed keep a cat many years ago. Could this be the one?

So how did it mutate into this state?

The mutations of mutated beasts all tend towards anti-ancient directions, and Jiang Zhi's mount is no exception; it looks a lot like a saber-toothed tiger.

Shaking off the thoughts in his mind, Han Xing followed in his combat robot, using both firearms and superpowers to keep the mutated beasts out of the defensive line.

Zhou Heng was firing a machine gun when suddenly a mutated bird plummeted down, its sharp beak like a giant steel needle stabbing at him. He huddled in place, unable to dodge in order to protect the machine gun.

At the critical moment, a golden, brick-like object swept over, smashing the mutated bird to pieces. The red and white corpse that landed on the snow was dead beyond any doubt.

The next second, the golden figure seemed to have a mind of its own and attacked the mutated beasts frantically. In just a few breaths, more than twenty mutated beasts were pierced through the chest and died in a gruesome manner.

Everyone present, both human and animal, was stunned.

What the hell is this thing that's so awesome?

Guan Yunfei thought it was some new type of firearm, but when he got closer, it was just a golden brick.

The brick, covered in blood and bits of flesh, shot out and slaughtered more than a dozen mutated beasts, even slicing a mutated lizard into several pieces.

The mutated beasts seemed to realize something was wrong; the humans on the other side were experts, and they became afraid.

"Brothers, charge!"

Someone shouted!
