The weather grew increasingly hot, and almost all the plants on the ground withered and died. Everyone began to search for water sources, but then a heavy rain began to fall.

The rain lasted for nearly three days and three nights. Just when people thought there was some hope for survival, they discovered that the zombies seemed to have evolved even faster, and some zombies even developed supernatural abilities, which made everyone terrified.

Supplies are dwindling, and many people have to go out to find food in order to survive, but almost none of them return. Now it's fair to say that staying in the base is like waiting to die, and going outside is like throwing your life away.

So Shenfu sent some troops to other places where bases had been established to seek help, but the journey was long and they all died on the way.

Rumors began circulating among the residents at some point, saying that Shen's father was deliberately hiding supplies and was selfish. This caused the hard-won trust to collapse instantly, and Base A was thrown into complete chaos.

Inside the laboratory, Pan Yang and Zhou Yang watched as soldiers downstairs struggled to suppress the rioting residents.

"Aren't you worried?" Zhou Yang asked, looking at Fan Yang who showed no reaction.

Why worry?

“No one knows how long they can live right now; they could die any second.” Zhou Yang took a deep breath. “Unless people can live forever.”

"So you want to live forever?" Pan Yang's gaze shifted to him. This hidden character is difficult to deal with; he actually wants to live forever.

"Don't you yearn for immortality?" Zhou Yang asked, looking into his eyes and enunciating each word clearly.

"I'd have to be crazy to achieve immortality." Pan Yang rolled his eyes and sat down in his chair. He was currently just eager to end this chaotic world. Immortality? What a joke.

Then, something occurred to Pan Yang: "Did Chen Yu talk to you about immortality?"

Zhou Yang took a deep breath. He hadn't expected that Pan Yang would guess so accurately. Just as he was about to speak, screams came from outside.

Looking out the window, one could see hordes of zombies had broken through the fence. Base A, which was supposed to protect the people, had now become a slaughterhouse for zombies.

The zombies were getting closer to the city center, and all you could hear were screams, cries, and gunshots.

A soldier burst through the door: "Young Master Shen, Dr. Zhou, we need to go to the rooftop now. Chief Shen has just made contact with other bases, and the helicopter is about to take off."

However, when the two arrived at the rooftop, Shen Yu was already on the helicopter.

The zombies downstairs have piled up into bulges, trying to climb up.

"Little brother, it seems there's no room for you on the helicopter anymore." Shen Yu slowly took out a gun and pointed it at Fan Yang.

"Dr. Zhou, you should have made up your mind after these past few days. Come with me and seek our path to immortality!"

Zhou Yang felt inexplicably guilty. Suddenly, the familiar white sword stopped beside his ear, and the wind from the sword fan felt strangely cold in the hot weather.

At that moment, he felt a jolt in his heart: "You..."

With a thud, Zhou Yang suddenly turned around and saw a zombie that had appeared out of nowhere fall to the ground after being pierced through the head by a white sword.

Then, Pan Yang sheathed his white sword and flicked off the black zombie blood on it.

“I will not go with you.” Zhou Yang made up his mind and looked at Shen Yu: “All of this happened because of the Longevity Project. If we have to sacrifice others just to research Longevity, I’m sorry, that’s not what I want.”

Shen Yu's expression darkened, and he sighed, "You think Pan Yang can protect you? Now you can only wait to die, take off."

As soon as he finished speaking, the helicopter began to take off. Pan Yang gripped the white sword in his hand, only to find that the helicopter on Shen's father's side was being held back by a group of zombies.

Pan Yang weighed the white sword in his hand and threw it directly. The sword flew straight out, severing the zombie's arm, and returned to Pan Yang's hand.

Startled, Shen's father looked in the direction indicated by the person on the rooftop: "Pan Yang! Didn't Shen Yu bring Pan Yang with him?"

"Leader, we can't take the young master and the doctor with us." The pilot looked down at the densely packed zombies preparing to form a human ladder and ordered the helicopter to fly higher again.

"That's my son!" Mr. Shen said angrily.

When Chen's mother saw this, she quickly patted his back, and tears fell again: "Take Pan Yang with you, it's just one person."

"I'm sorry, madam..." The pilot felt a little sorry for her; the distance was too far and there were too many zombies.

The pilot scanned the zombies on the ground and saw one that was completely different from the others. Instead of attacking humans, it stood on the rooftop, looking down at everything.

He was startled. Could it be that zombies had evolved to have thoughts?

Sure enough, the next second the zombie saw the helicopter, pointed at them and roared, and instantly most of the zombies looked up at the helicopter and rushed over like madmen.

Ultimately, the driver chose to leave quickly.

Looking at the almost desperate crowd, Pan Yang spotted a car approaching. The car was almost completely surrounded by zombies. Shang Nan kept using his superpower to knock down the zombies that pounced on him: "Benefactor! Get down quickly!"

Pan Yang pulled Zhou Yang downstairs quickly, rushing to the car and opening and closing the door in one smooth motion.

Finally, the four of them left Base A with great difficulty.

As the car drove further and further away, the zombies were almost out of sight. Only then did Shang Bei stop the car, and the group felt only the relief of having survived.

Shang Nan patted his chest and looked at Zhou Yang: "Hello, my name is Shang Nan, this is my brother Shang Bei."

"Zhou Yang, thank you."

"You're welcome. If it weren't for my benefactor, my brother and I would have died long ago." Shang Nan waved his hand and took out some water from his bag: "Here you are, my benefactor."

Pan Yang took the water, turned on the tap, and handed it to Zhou Yang.

"I'm not thirsty yet." Zhou Yang was caught off guard, and the bottle of water was shoved directly into his hand.

Shang Nan's eyes lit up instantly when he saw it, and he covered his mouth and chuckled for some reason.

"Her? What happened?" Zhou Yang felt somewhat confused.

"Sorry, my sister used to love reading novels with two male leads and got addicted to shipping couples." Shang Bei was speechless.

Zhou Yang remained silent, rubbing his fingertips against the bottle. "I need some fresh air." He opened the car door, walked over, and sat down next to the withered tree.

After resting, the group continued their journey. Now that Base A had been completely destroyed, they had no idea about the other bases and had to visit them all.

The nearest base is a seven- or eight-day journey away.

They didn't have many supplies on them, so everyone still needed to search for more.

Fortunately, the group soon found a supermarket. From the outside, everything looked normal inside. Unfortunately, they didn't dare to step inside.

He was surrounded by more than a dozen people, all of whom looked fierce and were holding guns, clearly someone who did this often.

Only then did Shang Nan realize that there was no food in the supermarket at all; there were just signs placed on the shelves.
