In her previous life, Qiao Yu thought Jiang Zhan was mentally unstable; she feared and loathed him. Yet, Jiang Zhan endured endless torture to save her, protecting her until his very last breath.
Chapter 124 The Crisis Comes
The convoy drove slowly for another two days, and finally came out of the dense forest one evening and arrived in City G.
"Turn left at the next intersection! Then go straight for about two kilometers and there's an abandoned factory. We'll set up camp there tonight!"
The surrounding gunshots and the roars of alien species were deafening. Qiao Yu had no choice but to lie down at the entrance and shout loudly to give directions to Yu Qingchuan who was driving.
As soon as the convoy arrived in City G, they encountered a large group of alien species.
Moreover, this group of alien species provided support very quickly. Qiao Yu suspected that there might be an alien nest nearby.
Qiao Yu let the Lin family's car and the cars of the women from Nanliu Village go ahead temporarily, while they stayed behind to cover their retreat.
When the convoy turned into a small road, Jiang Zhan took the opportunity to use wind blades to cut down the mutant trees on both sides, blocking the group of alien species that were chasing them, and then asked Wang Zha to jump out of the car and set the mutant trees on fire.
The mutant tree was tall and thick, and after falling down, it almost formed a natural wall.
The first-level alien species has no intelligence and only knows how to rush forward.
The blocked alien species then began to surge upwards, piling up in waves, attempting to force their way through.
Many of the aliens rushing in the front were stepped on by the aliens behind them, and then their skulls were crushed under the heavy burden.
The few alien species that were lucky enough to crawl out from the trees would be set on fire one after another.
Qiao Yu looked back through the car window and saw that behind Wang Zha, there were a few alien species with their bodies on fire rolling down from the tall tree trunks, still roaring and running forward, until they were finally burned to ashes by the flames.
The convoy stopped safely at the camping site.
"If everything goes well, we should be able to reach the base tomorrow." Qiao Yu looked at the map in his hand with a relaxed look.
Yin Ji came out of the survivor base in City G and even became a high-ranking official. This means that mutants have been discovered and exist in the base.
In this way, the danger faced by Yu Qingchuan was temporarily lifted, and they did not have to delay any longer and could go straight to the base.
The base is located in a former small county town in City G, less than fifty kilometers away from their current location.
If it weren't for the fog at night, Qiao Yu would have wanted to rush to the survivor base overnight.
There is no longer any absolutely uninhabited area on the road leading to the base.
The route planned by Qiao Yu was already the deserted street in G City before the end of the world.
But obviously, just because it was deserted before the apocalypse doesn't mean it will be deserted after the apocalypse...
When Jiang Zhan asked everyone to be alert with a gloomy look on his face, everyone was preparing to have dinner.
The women rescued in Nanliu Village were still confused after hearing Cheng Sinian's horn. They thought it was so quiet, how could there be any danger? But fortunately, they were all obedient and didn't hesitate for long, quickly returning to the car.
After Qiao Yu and the other four instructed Lin Yingjie to guard the camp, they took their trump cards and headed towards the direction that Jiang Zhan sensed.
"Alien species or mutated plants and animals?" Qiao Yu asked softly.
"Alien species, there are still people."
"People?" Qiao Yu frowned slightly. "Being hunted?"
Jiang Zhan nodded, "It should be. A car with six people is approaching us. They are also carrying a group of alien species."
As soon as Jiang Zhan finished speaking, Qiao Yu heard Wang Zha let out a long "Awooo" sound, then stopped, arched his body forward, dug the ground with his claws, and began to "wooo" to warn.
Wang Zha's voice was very urgent. Qiao Yu rarely saw Wang Zha react so impatiently.
Qiao Yu's face darkened slightly, it seemed to be an alien tide.
"Help—help—"
A cry for help soon came from the front.
Jiang Zhan used the same trick to knock down the mutant trees on both sides, and then let Wang Zha continue to set them on fire.
The path is not wide, and two mutant trees are enough to block the entire road.
The people who were running for their lives in front saw two huge trees suddenly fall on the road in front of the car, and then a fire broke out. A look of despair flashed in their eyes.
The road ahead is blocked, and there are alien species behind.
Are they going to die here today?
"卍——"
At this moment, a sharp eagle cry suddenly came from the sky.
A giant eagle mutant swooped down from the sky, grabbed their car with its huge claws, and then quickly took them away from here at the last moment before the alien pounced on them.
Yu Qingchuan brought them to the side where Qiao Yu and the others were.
After landing, the six people were so emotionally unstable that they started crying while sitting in the car.
Qiao Yu shot and killed a few of the aliens that had managed to escape, and then took the time to shout to the six people in the car, "Stop crying! Come down and help!"
Qiao Yu’s previous guess was correct, it was indeed a tide of alien species.
The number of these alien species is much larger than those they just encountered. Relying on the advantage in numbers, many alien species have broken through the defense line set up by Jiang Zhan and Wang Zha, and are rushing towards them.
When the six people in the car heard this, they wiped away their tears, got out of the car immediately and started to help.
What surprised Qiao Yu was that there was a mutant among these six people.
It is a male plant variant.
The rest are all enhancement-type mutants, two of them have strength enhancement, and three have speed enhancement.
Judging from their momentum and speed in killing the aliens, these six people are quite capable.
As usual, Qiao Yu and his companions still hid their special abilities.
Except for Yu Qingchuan who switched forms at the beginning, Qiao Yu, Jiang Zhan, Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen were all using guns and Tang swords to kill aliens.
But even so, their abilities are still strong.
The six people who were rescued saw that they had calm expressions and showed no panic when they were shooting and killing. They used the guns and Tang swords in their hands almost to the extreme. They thought they were gang leaders before the end of the world.
I was trembling with fear in my heart: the gang members are all ruthless and desperate, why would they save them? Could they be using them as food reserves?
But despite what they thought, they still worked very hard to kill the aliens.
After all, our number one enemy now is these alien species.
Although Qiao Yu didn't intend to use them as food reserves, he did curse them silently in his heart.
She had a slight look of anger on her face, and she felt like venting her anger when she killed alien species.
If these people hadn't run towards them with nothing to do, they wouldn't have to work so hard here so late at night!
Qiao Yu looked at the alien species emerging from the tree trunks in batches, his expression becoming increasingly gloomy.
She must have guessed correctly before, there was indeed an alien nest nearby, otherwise there would not have been so many aliens coming to support.
No, if they continue like this they will be exhausted to death here.
Qiao Yu made a prompt decision and shouted to everyone, "Stop fighting! Retreat!"
"There are alien nests nearby, we can't kill them all!"
