Chapter 55 Unexpectedly, he's a tough nut to crack.

The lines stretched out in two long queues on the road.

One group of people were walking, standing in line under the sunshade set up by the roadside, still sweating profusely from the heat.

Some people tried to cool themselves with portable fans, but it was no use in the face of 60-degree Celsius heat.

Even the wind was so hot it felt like it was burning.

The other team arrived by car.

The car has air conditioning, which is a little better than for people standing outside.

It's only a tiny bit.

Under high temperatures, the car interior is like a sauna, and the cool air blowing out of the small air conditioning vents is quickly swallowed up by the heat.

I could barely feel some coolness by pressing my face against the air conditioner vent.

Meng Shiwan stopped at the back of the convoy and waited. Looking up, she saw all kinds of cars, SUVs, vans, trucks, and all sorts of vehicles.

She even saw a tractor pulling a trailer, which looked like a little opossum and was full of people.

Despite grimacing from the heat, everyone patiently waited in line.

Fortunately, the inspection was not slow. Although the line was long, it moved forward slowly, so people didn't get too impatient while waiting.

Behind the line, people continued to arrive in droves.

Some of them went out from the base to find supplies and had to undergo inspection again upon their return.

Some were survivors brought in by rescue teams.

Some survivors also organized their own teams and found the base.

Among the two teams, Meng Shiwan's large pink RV stood out.

People occasionally cast glances their way.

Compared to the others who were drenched in sweat, Meng Shiwan, sitting in the driver's seat, looked relaxed, with flowing hair and clear skin, showing no signs of being soaked to the bone like a drowned rat.

Anyone with a brain knows that this RV must have air conditioning.

And it's a high-powered air conditioner.

Otherwise, at such high temperatures, the air conditioning in a regular car simply wouldn't produce enough cool air to keep you from sweating.

Seeing that some people are doing well, some people start to get restless.

A few people huddled together and said something, then walked towards Meng Shiwan's RV.

Seeing that someone had taken the lead, the others, fearing they would miss out on the benefits, also followed suit.

As soon as one person moved, a group of people followed and surrounded the RV.

Meng Shiwan looked at them indifferently, took a sip of her chilled soda, then a bite of her bread, the sweetness in her mouth unable to melt away the indifference in her eyes.

The bald man at the front of the group saw the water droplets clinging to the beverage bottle in her hand, and his eyes lit up again. He politely knocked on the driver's side door.

"Hi beautiful, I'm about to get heatstroke, I'm really dizzy, could I come to your RV to cool off?"

The RV is completely soundproof. When Meng Shiwan is driving, she will lower the windows on both sides of the driver's cab a little bit to keep an eye on the outside.

Seeing the greedy faces of the people outside, Meng Shiwan could only sneer.

In the apocalypse, everyone has a hard time, and she understands that.

But their suffering wasn't caused by her, so why did they have to beg her? Does she look like a great philanthropist?

Meng Shiwan's eyes hardened as she glared at them.

The bald man was startled by her gaze and unconsciously took two steps back.

But thinking about the air conditioning and chilled drinks in the RV, he mustered his courage and spoke with genuine emotion.

"Hey beautiful, everyone's having a tough time right now, just let us go upstairs and cool off for a bit, even just a little while."

Others chimed in.

"Yes, yes, it's so hot outside. I feel like I'm being roasted alive. My friend has heatstroke and is showing some symptoms of heat exhaustion. He might die if this continues. Could you let us cool off in your RV for a while?"

"Just for a little while, let us catch our breath. I can pay you. Just tell me what you want."

"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, please do me a favor."

A pagoda? She's only good at killing.

Don't think she doesn't know what these people are thinking.

They might be tempted by the cool air inside the RV right now, but once they get in and see the benefits, they'll start thinking about taking over the place.

No one with a brain would do something so stupid, let alone her.

Meng Shiwan didn't want to waste any more words on these people, so she turned on the blade reel.

The blade snagged on a man's clothes and tore off a large piece in an instant, exposing a large area of ​​skin.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and pulled the people around him back in time, preventing them from getting caught in the crossfire.

He stared at the rapidly spinning roller, his face turning deathly pale, and he quickly retreated several meters away.

At that speed, once you get caught in it, you're guaranteed to die.

He fought his way out of the zombie horde, almost dying at the base gate at the hands of humans.

The man looked up at Meng Shiwan with eyes full of anger and fear.

Meng Shiwan looked down at them and said, "Get lost. Don't blame me for not warning you. If you block my car and get strangled, no one will be responsible."

Everyone was startled by the sudden spinning of the roller and retreated.

The way they looked at Meng Shiwan was no longer that of a pretty young girl; it was now filled with caution and fear.

If the man who was standing in front of the car had gotten any closer, he would have been caught in the wreckage and strangled.

This girl started the scroll wheel without even saying hello; she really wanted to kill them, she wasn't just trying to scare them.

I thought this was an easy target, but it turned out to be a tough one.

The outside temperature is so hot it's unbearable; you feel like you're being roasted dry.

Even so, they were still unwilling to leave and began to play the victim even more diligently.

"I can't breathe right now, please, we will definitely repay your kindness in the future."

"It's not easy for anyone to survive in the apocalypse, so we should help each other."

Meng Shiwan found them noisy, so she simply closed the window and ignored them.

Some people thought of blocking the RV and acting like scoundrels, but after seeing the high-speed rotating blades, they eventually gave up on the idea.

They were afraid that if they dared to stand in front of the car, the girl would really kill them.

Seeing no hope of getting into the RV, they dispersed and returned to their respective groups.

The bald man's eyes were filled with a sinister and greedy look as he stared at the RV.

The man next to him asked in a low voice, "Brother, this RV is a good thing."

The bald man sneered, "Do you think I don't know she's a good thing? We'll follow her into the base. She's just a little girl; do you think we can't do anything to her?"

Greed breeds, and so does evil.

The newly arrived survivors were full of anticipation for the base, unaware that they were about to face another kind of survival challenge.

Soon it was Meng Shiwan's turn. A staff member wearing a fluorescent air-conditioned suit and holding a small yellow flag guided Meng Shiwan to drive the RV into an automatic car wash and park it.

She got out of the car carrying Ta Xue, the strong smell of disinfectant hitting her nostrils.

It seems that the automatic car wash uses disinfectant to disinfect the zombie virus that may have contaminated the RV.

As soon as I got out of the car, I was so hot that I started sticking out my tongue.

Meng Shiwan quietly condensed some frost in her palm and placed it on Ta Xue's stomach and head. "Bear with it for a bit, we'll be back in the car soon."

Following the instructions on the sign next to her, she went into the small glass room next door.

Just as they stood still, the door clicked shut, and jets of water sprayed out from all directions, drenching the person and the cat from head to toe.

Meng Shiwan wasn't soaked to the bone, but now she's drenched.

The strong smell of disinfectant on my skin was very uncomfortable.

Ta Xue wasn't much better off; it, which never liked taking baths, was forced to take one.

Startled, it jumped onto Meng Shiwan's head, looking around warily.

After the disinfectant rinse was finished, a strong airflow blew out of the glass room, drying the person and the cat halfway. The glass door opened, signaling them to come out.

The person and cat went in looking neat and tidy, but when they came out, they looked like they had just returned from begging for food.

Meng Shiwan's short-sleeved shirt and shorts were still damp, clinging tightly to her body and outlining her slender yet muscular figure.

Her long hair was a mess, and Ta Xue even grabbed her hair and stood on top of her head to make a nest, making it look almost like a bird's nest.

Ta Xue wasn't much better off; its thick, long fur got wet and clung to its body, revealing its flesh.

It's not just bloating, it's real fat.

The staff outside couldn't help but laugh when they saw their current look.

Helpless, Meng Shiwan took Ta Xue off her head and followed the sign into a small room further inside.

The air conditioning was on in the room, making it much cooler than outside.

Inside the glass counter sat a person dressed in protective clothing, completely covered in white, even their head was covered, making it impossible to tell if they were male or female.

It wasn't until she spoke that I realized she was a girl.

"Pull up your clothes to expose your arm so we can draw blood."

His voice was flat, devoid of emotion, and even carried a hint of impatience.

The blood test was to check for the zombie virus. Meng Shiwan had gone through this process many times in her previous life, so she did as the other party instructed.

After the other person drew blood, he glanced at Ta Xue, turned around and put the blood into the large machine next to him. The results would be available in a few minutes.

Animals are not infected with the zombie virus, and after disinfection, they are generally left unattended.

Meng Shiwan sat idly to the side, waiting.

Ta Xue was diligently licking its wet fur; the disinfectant smell was too strong, and Ta Xue didn't like it.

Meng Shiwan held its little head to prevent it from licking it, and took out a pack of wet wipes from her pocket, but actually from her spatial storage, and carefully wiped the long fur off its body.

Once I get back to the RV, I need to take a good shower to wash away the smell of disinfectant.

Just then, the machine inside started dinging. The girl in the protective suit suddenly stood up, turned around, and looked at Meng Shiwan with a look of horror on her face.

Meng Shiwan stopped wiping the snow off her feet, frowning. "What? Am I infected?"

This machine usually doesn't make any noise.

If it rings, it means there's a problem; she absolutely couldn't be infected.

Then there's only one possibility...

Then the girl's even more horrified voice rang out, "Are you a superhuman?"

Sure enough, this machine can detect the zombie virus, as well as the supernatural fluctuations in the blood.

Meng Shiwan nodded slightly, "Yes."

To everyone's surprise, an even more horrified voice rang out, "You're a Level 5 ability user!"

A level 5 ability user! There hasn't even been a level 4 ability user in the entire base, and now there's a level 5 ability user.

How could she not be shocked?
