Chapter 174 Awesome

The remaining people quietly cleared away the zombies, and the atmosphere became much more somber.

Every now and then, cries could be heard, and someone had found their loved ones.

From the moment they came ashore until nightfall, they had already killed most of the zombies that kept pouring in, but the number of neatly arranged corpses in the open space at the village entrance was increasing.

They are their relatives, friends, classmates, neighbors, people they know.

Now that they've turned into zombies and died again and again, the survivors just want them to be laid to rest.

Zhou Wen walked up to Meng Shiwan and handed her the crystal cores in the box. "Sister, let's go bury them."

Meng Shiwan took the box. "Go ahead, An Jiewen, go with them and help them out."

An Jiewen nodded and followed Zhou Wen and the others to find a truck, load the body onto it, and leave together to bury it.

Meng Shiwan glanced at the crystal cores in the box and handed them to Tao Yarong, saying, "Let's go collect supplies."

The crystal cores were collected by them together, and they belonged to the team members, so they were distributed among themselves.

Tao Yarong took the box from Meng Shiwan and put it into her card space. Then she took out a storage box from her card space.

"Sister, here are the hundred vials of the ability-enhancing fluid."

Two were randomly selected by the housekeeper, leaving ninety-eight more. In the emergency, Tao Yarong first stored them in her card space.

Meng Shiwan took it, and the group walked towards the interior of the fishing village.

This fishing village is quite large. Before the apocalypse, the docks were bustling with people buying and selling seafood. There are several streets in the village, selling all sorts of things.

Useful supplies can be collected, such as snacks, drinks, clothes, daily necessities, various tools, etc., which are not affected by the high temperature.

Some zombies got stuck in houses or alleys and couldn't get out, so they took care of them when they saw them.

After they had toured the entire fishing village and returned to where they had parked, Anjavin returned with the survivors.

Their expressions were sorrowful, and the atmosphere was somber, so Rezer and the others didn't dare to bring up the matter of seeing the farm castle again.

Meng Shiwan instructed Ma Jiandong, "You drive a truck and take them back to the base. Once you're back, you can stay at the base and don't need to come out. We'll take a detour around the city center and then return to the base."

Ma Jiandong possesses ice-type superpowers, allowing him to control the temperature inside the carriage, ensuring that it won't be too hot for them to stay in.

Ma Jiandong agreed, "Okay, I'll take them back now."

Meng put some food into the truck, and the survivors went into the truck.

Lulu waved to them, "Goodbye, brothers and sisters."

Ma Jiandong drove the truck that Qiu Zhiyi often drove, leading the survivors slowly into the night.

Tao Yarong sighed, "I really don't know when this will end."

Meng Shiwan recalled Meng Qingyue's words, "The solution to the apocalypse lies with you." She shook her head in annoyance, too lazy to think about things she couldn't answer.

"Didn't you want to see the castle? Let's go."

She released the farm, and the ground in front of her, covered with spider webs and cracks, was soon replaced by vibrant prosperity.

"Wow, the farm looks completely different now," Rezhe exclaimed, then walked into the farm.

The enormous castle in the middle stands out spectacularly against this backdrop of farmland.

The cruise ships and fishing boats in the distance add a touch of prosperity to this simple land.

Tao Yarong and the others knew that Meng Shiwan had moved the castle into the farm, but this was the first time they had seen it, and they were all very surprised.

They hurried toward the castle, where the craters from the bombing were still visible in the ground and walls.

Lei Zhe pointed to the pit and explained, "When the first armor-piercing shell flew over, I really thought I was going to die, but I was completely fine. This intact square is where the RV was parked back then."

Qiu Zhiyi's eyes widened. "Awesome!"

As the group went inside, they all praised the luxurious decor.

There is a large generator underground in the castle, which supplies power to the entire castle.

They wandered around for a while and found a wine cellar in the basement, which stored various world-famous wines.

There is also a food storage room, which contains all kinds of ingredients, including seafood.

There's even a vegetable growing room where they simulate sunlight and use various nutrient solutions, resulting in lush, green vegetables that look quite nice.

Lu Yu was extremely satisfied with the restaurant here. It had all kinds of kitchen utensils and a wide variety of ingredients. It was finally time for him to show off his skills.

When the various dishes, each with its own unique color, aroma, and flavor, were served, everyone was quite surprised.

Lei Zhe was completely bewildered. "You actually graduated from New Oriental? You're really something!"

Lu Yu said proudly, "That's right. As long as I have the ingredients, I can cook anything."

Tao Yarong went to the cellar and got a few bottles of good wine. This dinner was held in the castle and was more luxurious than before the apocalypse.

Looking at the bright crystal chandelier above his head, Qiu Zhiyi felt it was all a bit unreal. "Following my sister, you really can live a good life."

It's the end of the world, and we can still sit in a castle and eat a feast. We couldn't even live like this before the apocalypse.

Meng Shiwan finished the last sip of red wine. "This castle can be used as the base's office building in the future."

She had no interest in living in a castle; it was too extravagant and unrealistic.

It is also too disconnected from this cruel apocalypse.

She wasn't interested; the team members genuinely wanted to experience the comforts of the castle.

A swimming pool, fine wines, gourmet food, super comfortable king-size beds, and a whole host of other entertainment options.

Lei Zhe rubbed his hands together. "Sis, just one night, let us experience the joys of the rich."

Meng Shiwan stood up. "Whatever you want."

She quickly returned to the RV.

The small space was an absolute fortress; only with Ta Xue sleeping beside her could she feel absolutely safe and comfortable.

Meow~

Hearing the noise, Ta Xue came down from the second floor and rubbed against Meng Shiwan.

Meng Shiwan patted its head, "Good boy, I'll wash up and then we'll go to sleep."

"Meow."

Ta Xue jumped onto the sofa and waited obediently.

After washing up, Meng Shiwan lowered the elevator bed and took Taxue to bed.

She was holding the soft, big cat, and it felt incredibly comfortable.

The next day, they slept until late morning.

Tao Yarong and the others strolled out of the castle, all looking refreshed.

Seeing the castle was a pretty good one-day experience.

This may be the only day I get to experience it. Once the base starts construction, many of the facilities inside the castle will be removed and replaced with office buildings.

Meng Shiwan put away the farm and took out a sandwich and a carton of milk from her spatial storage.

Take out a can of food for Taxue.

After the man and the cat finished eating, they drove to the city center.

Meng Shiwan wanted to stock up on some more snacks and drinks, because once those were gone, they would be gone.

I don't know when production will resume.

It's estimated that many areas within the city have been ravaged, with only the central area, where zombies are most concentrated, possibly still having some left.

By the time they return to base from the central area, the arrival of acid rain will probably not be far off.
