Chapter 305 All Together

After discussing the mission, Team Zero drove the armored vehicle directly into the aquarium and closed the glass doors.

Three more spirit entities have not yet returned.

Everyone prepared dinner first, eating while waiting.

Song Liang rummaged through the car and found their pots and pans, then set up the pot in the hall and asked Tao Haohao and the others to go find firewood.

The food carried on the armored vehicle was enough to feed seven people for about half a month.

At the very bottom of each of their backpacks were compressed biscuits for emergency use.

In reality, relying solely on the supplies inside the vehicle, they could last for quite some time.

However, the longer you stay in the contaminated area, the greater the risk of being assimilated.

Because Yun Zhao is here, no one is too worried about this right now.

Of course, Qi Ling was the least concerned.

He was a mutant, and after assimilation, he remained a mutant.

Qi Ling saw the busy group outside, and then looked at Yun Zhao, who was lying in front of the aquarium watching the spirits play.

Inside the huge glass exhibition hall.

The brown bear jumped straight into the water, splashing up a large spray. It swam around happily, chasing the fish in the water.

Qi Ling walked over, a little embarrassed, and stammered, "Could I take a bag of snacks?"

He wanted to try and see if he could eat other things now that he was back to normal.

"Okay, take whatever you like."

Yun Zhao agreed verbally, then thought for a moment and emphasized, "No charge."

Qi Ling: "...Thank you."

The little bluebird never came back.

Through mental connection, it seems to still be near the university town.

Yun Zhao had no idea what it was doing. Spirits are naturally playful, so perhaps it had found something fun to do.

Since there was nothing else to do, Yun Zhao didn't urge it to come back.

Hearing the commotion outside, the six people hiding in the employee passage cautiously came out to investigate.

Seeing that they were the ones starting a fire to cook, Liao Yuxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"The exhibition hall isn't very safe; zombies often sneak in. Let's cook in the staff passage."

Liao Yuxuan walked over and kindly said, "The smoke from firewood is too much. We have an electric cooker, which is more convenient for cooking than using firewood."

Duan Xi returned carrying a pile of chopped wooden table fragments, and said with a serious expression, "No need, we can't take what belongs to the people."

Liao Yuxuan was deeply moved by what he heard.

He was initially a bit wary, but as soon as Team Zero left, the six men hid the supplies.

Seeing their disciplined demeanor and their refusal to take advantage of the people, Liao Yuxuan's wariness lessened somewhat.

In the end times, it is rare to find soldiers who uphold their principles like this.

"It wasn't ours either; it was found in an employee's locker..."

The aquarium requires night shifts, especially when some animals are giving birth, requiring keepers to be on duty 24 hours a day.

The six college students found a lot of daily necessities inside, as well as several packets of instant noodles and other items.

Xie Tu was sitting alone in the passenger seat, drawing up tomorrow's route. Hearing this, he said, "Song Liang, take the pot inside and cook."

"Okay." Song Liang agreed and immediately stood up with the pot in his hand.

It's unclear whether things will change at night, so it's always good to be cautious.

Xie Tu, holding a map and route map, casually took Yun Zhao's military overcoat from the car. He walked up to Yun Zhao, his deep black eyes serious: "Let's go, we'll spend the night here."

Yun Zhao watched the playful spirit beings.

The King Chameleon floated on the water, drifting with the current. Its round eyes darted around, and its skin changed color and shape, as if trying to imitate the colorful fish.

She has been very quiet since she came in.

Nobody knows what she's thinking.

Xie Tu asked casually, "Did you find anything?"

Yun Zhao didn't disturb the playful spirits, and turned to walk alongside them into the passage. "Does the sun pattern count?"

Xie Tu: "Yeah, I guess so."

During the dark apocalypse, most humans were obsessed with the sun.

For example, his father.

The frequent appearance of sun patterns in this polluted area may be hinting at something.

Or perhaps, what message is the gatekeeper trying to convey to them?

Yun Zhao remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Those survivors are very suspicious, especially the girl among them."

She even keeps a diary.

The equal proportion of survivors corresponds to high school and college students, a bizarre coincidence at every turn.

If there are too many coincidences, then they are no longer coincidences.

Xie Tu couldn't tell which of the four girls was which. "Which one are you talking about?"

Yun Zhao paused for a moment. They were wearing helmets, so her face couldn't be seen, and she couldn't remember which one it was.

"It's a girl named Chen Xi."

"Okay, then bring them all with us tomorrow and keep them under our watchful eyes."

Since we're going to establish a survival base, we definitely need to take in the survivors from the city.

Firstly, it makes it easier to access the keys.

Secondly, Team Zero can observe them at any time to see if the goalkeeper is hiding among them.

Yun Zhao nodded, then voiced his doubts: "Also, a city where there is no army at all has a complete armory, as if it was specially prepared for us."

Does the gatekeeper want to end this apocalypse?

Yun Zhao felt that this didn't make sense.

She was unfamiliar with the zombie apocalypse, and only after Qi Ling explained it to her did she learn that the absence of an army in the apocalypse was a normal phenomenon.

According to the Zero Team's estimates, there are at least two to three million zombies in this city.

The ammunition on the armored vehicles alone is far from enough.

When ammunition runs out, it's difficult to fight off and kill all the zombies when facing an endless horde of them, even with bare hands.

She is now starting to doubt her previous judgment.

Are they following the path set by the goalkeeper?

Could it be a trap?

Just then, the fire phoenix finally returned, flapping its wings.

It circled around but didn't see the little bluebird. Too lazy to even greet its own body, it flapped its wings and flew off to look for the little bluebird.

Xie Tu also pretended it didn't exist, saying, "Even if it's a trap, we have to try it, otherwise it will be difficult to find the gatekeeper."

Whether the gatekeeper is an object or a person.

As long as they exist within the contaminated area, zombies will be an obstacle to their search for clues.

The staff corridor was dimly lit.

Song Liang got the electric cooker and started cooking rice again.

Six college students quietly ate their own food, sitting in a corner watching them work.

At this moment, the six men took off their helmets, revealing their youthful faces.

A girl named Chen Xi held a thick, locked diary in her hands, placed it on her lap, and huddled in a corner, writing something down.

On the 22nd day of the apocalypse, we encountered seven soldiers...

Xie Tu glanced at them casually and said in a low voice, "Tomorrow we plan to take over Dongyi Town and establish a survival base. You will come with us."

The six people were stunned.

Chen Xi's hand slipped while writing in her diary, drawing a long line on the page.

"You only have seven people, and you think you can take over Dongyi Town?"

Liao Yuxuan was the first to react.

He felt that either he had a hearing problem or the soldiers were crazy.

"Do you even know that Dongyi Town is a tourist attraction, but the island is teeming with zombies?!"
