Chapter 20 The Evolution of Zombies

The sunlight shone through the towering forest, casting mottled fragments like scattered gold foil. Su Tang was already able to cooperate with this dark horse.

She was very happy, and when she turned her head she could see the heroine's cold profile.

"Yan Xing, I can ride a horse now!"

Su Tang was very happy. She thought she was a newbie, but it turned out that she was not that newbie. At least she could learn things like shooting and riding a horse after a little practice.

"Um."

Bai Yanxing also smiled and nodded.

"You're improving quickly."

Snow flakes would occasionally fall from the pine leaves. Coincidentally, when the two passed by a patch of low pine branches, snowflakes began to fall, and a lot of white snow was stuck to Su Tang's hair.

Bai Yanxing raised her hand to brush it away, but then Su Tang also raised his hand to wipe the snow off her hair, and the two of them were very intimate.

It attracted the attention of people around.

"Boss, do you think Miss Su likes Bai Yanxing..."

Although four years have passed since the end of the world, and the order of many modern civilized societies has collapsed, most of these adults have been to school, so they know something.

"Um……"

Su Jianyu fell into deep thought, feeling as if his daughter was being taken advantage of by a pig. But in fact, considering Bai Yanxing's fighting ability, he could not be considered a pig.

She is also a ferocious tiger.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Su Jianyu did not intend to interfere too much in his daughter's private affairs, but Bai Yanxing was indeed worth observing for a few more days, as the other party was cruel and ruthless.

Perhaps he can be trained as a successor.

The subordinate fell silent instantly and dared not say anything more.

After passing a jungle, we arrived at the hydroelectric dam. Many of the railings here were rusted, and there were only a few scattered zombies wandering around the dam.

These zombies were shot down with just a few arrows, but the smoother things go, the more uneasy people feel.

Su Tang couldn't help but worry. It is said that there is always peace before a war, whether in novels or in games.

However, the heroine will always be immortal, so I can rest assured about that.

Everyone had a smile on their face. The condition of the dam was better than they thought. The truck drove all the way to the gate, which was tightly locked. It seemed that it had been closed when the epidemic broke out.

So there are no zombies in the dam.

The dam wall is so high that it would be impossible to open it if everyone had not brought sufficient preparations before coming.

The pliers cut the iron chain that locked the power plant, and the rusty lock was thrown aside. Su Jianyu had someone replace it with a new one.

Several of them took spray paint and couldn't wait to spray a black wolf head on the dam, indicating that they had obtained the right to use the dam earlier than Yucheng.

Bai Yanxing also stopped with the convoy. She jumped off the horse first. Maybe because of her long legs, she landed on one foot, and her posture was very handsome.

Su Tang also wanted to try it, but it was embarrassing because one foot couldn't reach the ground.

"Don't be impatient, jump down."

Bai Yanxing stretched out his hand, but had no intention of hugging Su Tang. He had to learn riding by himself to make progress.

Su Tang jumped down, but because she stepped on the slippery ground, she almost slipped forward. She held the reins tightly, thinking that she was going to fall and be covered in mud.

But ended up falling into a warm embrace.

"Watch out when you come down here, you're stepping on moss."

There was a smile in Bai Yanxing's tone.

Plants have strong growth potential. If humans do not take care of and clean them regularly, a beautiful hilltop may be covered with plants in just a few months.

So these mosses grew on the somewhat mottled cement pavement of the former power plant.

Why can moss grow on concrete pavement?

That's because the entire concrete road has been covered with fallen leaves. No one cleans it up, and no wheels run over it. Everything has returned to nature, and all traces of human existence have disappeared.

These scenes may be something Su Tang will never see in his life. All he saw was a dilapidated hydropower dam standing in the river channel on both sides of the mountains and forests, with the sound of water rushing down.

With his waist hugged, Su Tang finally felt the soft moss under his feet.

"Thank you..."

She breathed a sigh of relief.

"No need to say thank you."

Bai Yanxing turned his head and couldn't help thinking in his heart.

If you must say thank you, it's best to say it with a kiss.

But she only thought about it in her heart and did not have the courage to speak it out loud in front of so many people.

The gate was opened and cars drove in again, leaving only a dozen people guarding outside the dam and walking around it to see if there was any danger.

The rest of the people went inside and started cleaning.

Bai Yanxing was worried about his mother, so he naturally went inside the dam. Many of the iron doors were rusted, but...

After all, it is a municipal-level project. The further you go in, the steel remains unchanged, just a little dusty.

"Let's go check out the turbine room. You search the other rooms. If there are any clothes, books, or anything else you can use, take them all back."

Su Jianyu lowered his head and gave instructions to his subordinates.

Before she could make any arrangements for her daughter alone, she saw the other party following Bai Yanxing obediently like a clinging kitten.

The flowers he had carefully raised were taken away with their pots and soil!

Su Jianyu was so depressed that he couldn't speak.

But this was his daughter's own choice, and he couldn't stop her. He could only bite his back teeth silently, and almost broke them.

Bai Yanxing's task was to search every room. Her combat ability was very strong, so the task she was assigned was also relatively dangerous.

To borrow a famous quote from Spider-Man, with great power comes great responsibility.

"It would be dangerous to follow me."

Bai Yanxing turned her head and stared at Su Tang carefully. She didn't want him to go into this danger with her, especially in an unknown place where there might be some unknown elite zombies.

"I'm not afraid."

Su Tang shook his head. He had not slacked off in the past few days and had practiced everything he needed to. He couldn't just hide behind the heroine all the time.

Although her original intention was to curry favor with someone powerful, it is not good to always be a burden. No matter how powerful the heroine is, she will get hurt someday.

not to mention……

Su Tang's state of mind has changed. He doesn't want to be a burden anymore. If he wants to protect the people he loves, he should become stronger.

"All right."

There were three or four people arrested this time.

They opened the doors one by one and began to inspect the supplies in the room.

Over the past four years, even if there was food, it wasn’t much.

However, no one has ever entered this dam, so there probably aren't many zombies.

But thinking like this...

It seems a bit too optimistic.

Finally, when Bai Yanxing opened the room, she saw the zombies locked in a storage room. These zombies were crowded together, and their clothes were a little worn.

But it can be seen that they are not staff members of the dam, but are hiding here.

Among them was a zombie that was nearly two meters tall and had a strong build. He was holding a piece of zombie's body in his hand and was chewing it in big mouthfuls.

Su Tang suddenly felt nauseous.
