Chapter 326 That means it won't happen.

Not long after.

Two islands on the opposite shore were engulfed in flames.

Thick smoke billowed and surged like dark clouds, shooting straight into the sky and obscuring the light of day.

The roars of the zombies were deafening.

Such a commotion naturally caught the attention of the survivors next door.

A group of people ran up to the rooftop terrace and looked in that direction.

Yun Zhao and the rabbit also went up to the top floor.

A phoenix engulfed in flames hovered in the sky, occasionally swooping down, its burning wings creating waves of heat.

The fire spread rapidly, quickly expanding from one corner of the island to the entire island.

The buildings were teetering on the brink of collapse amidst the flames.

The sound of people discussing something could be heard from the opposite terrace.

"The officers are actually resorting to fire? What if there are survivors on the island?"

"Probably not. At such close range, any survivors would have called for help long ago."

"I'm just worried that someone might be trapped inside and unable to get out."

"Why are they clearing out the two neighboring islands? Are they expanding their safe base?"

The security base was established three days ago.

Survivors have been arriving one after another over the past three days, but so far only a little over 120 survivors have made it to the island, not even enough to fill a single hotel.

There is absolutely no need for expansion.

They couldn't understand the significance of Team Zero's actions.

The two hotels were adjacent to each other, their terraces separated only by a small alley. Their conversation could be heard not only by Rabbit but also by Yun Zhao.

"It's to end this cannibalistic world."

Yun Zhao looked at them and suddenly said, "As long as all the monsters are eliminated, the apocalypse will end."

Upon hearing Yun Zhao's words, everyone turned around, their eyes filled with doubt and a sense of sudden realization.

End the apocalypse...?

Yun Zhao tilted his head slightly, his gaze piercing through the layers of smoke. "For the future of humanity, for rebuilding homes on the ruins, there are some things that must be done."

The people who were just discussing things enthusiastically suddenly became extremely quiet.

The rabbit, clutching its ever-present sniper rifle, scanned the survivors with wary eyes.

The monster Yun Zhao was referring to, not the zombie.

She was implying that what needed to be eliminated was not just the zombie apocalypse.

But that's so strange.

Generally, whenever key information is mentioned, the mutants controlled by the gatekeeper will experience lag.

Even in five-star contaminated areas like Zone 235, there have been instances of mutated species exhibiting mechanical repetition.

Why are there no problems among the 'people' in this contaminated area?

All the survivors felt so real to her.

The boy named Zhou Yang was wearing baggy jeans and a baseball cap pulled low over his head.

His eyes were somewhat dazed, and he suddenly spoke up, "Will it all end once we kill all the monsters?"

The six high school students had a weak presence on the island.

Perhaps because they had been 'abandoned' by Team Zero once, they never approached anyone from Team Zero after arriving on the island, and rarely spoke.

Most of the time, they work quietly behind the crowd.

"Don't you think so?" Yun Zhao looked at him calmly.

Zhou Yang shook his head. "I don't know."

Yun Zhao nodded slightly, looking at the thick smoke billowing in the distance: "Then it won't happen."

The rabbit didn't understand what the two were saying at all.

What do you mean, "can't I?"

The mutants outside cannot be completely eradicated because the eerie contaminated zone shelters these monsters.

As long as the contaminated area persists, the problem will never end.

But here, isn't it enough to simply end the goalkeeper's obsession?

Qi Ling stood in the crowd next door, appearing unusually silent.

Since coming in, Qi Ling has become much more cheerful.

Here he can be a normal person, allowing him to occasionally forget that he is also one of the monsters.

He and these survivors are the same kind of people.

"Let's go down first. The captain and the others will probably be back soon."

Yun Zhao seemed to sense something and turned to call out to Qi Ling, "Come back and rest for a while."

Qi Ling snapped out of her daze and nodded hesitantly, "Okay."

Given Huo Feng's brutal cleaning method, the two small islands will be cleared away quickly, and the islands may begin to be dispersed to the outside world this afternoon.

A city of 5,000 square kilometers is simply too big.

Millions of zombies, and who knows how long it will take to deal with them.

Yun Zhao was afraid that if they were delayed for too long, the two S-class teams outside would be unable to wait any longer and would come in.

Fu Yu would definitely plan to do so.

As for Jiang Mu's team, Team Zero saved them once. If they come in under the guise of rescuing Team Zero, wouldn't that even things out?

At least to the outside world, Jiang Mu's team saved face.

—Look, the last time they were rescued by Team Zero was just an accident; this time they need our help too.

Jiang Mu might actually promote it that way.

Yun Zhao had always felt that something was wrong with this polluted area.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket. If something happens to the three S-level teams, the four major bases will have nowhere to turn for help.

Thinking of this.

Yun Zhao felt a sudden urge to try out the key at his waist.

Isn't it the same if you go out and then come back in?

But if the door is opened, a riot will break out in the contaminated area. Maybe after it calms down, it will return to normal.

Then all their hard work for so many days was for nothing?

Yun Zhao sighed, took out a handful of milk candies from his bag, and stuffed them into the rabbit's hand. "Have some candy."

It's too bitter; I need something sweet to balance it out.

The rabbit was very happy with the occasional feeding from Sister Yun Zhao. "White Rabbit milk candy, my favorite."

The two went down the stairs.

Although the hotel has an elevator, no one uses it.

Elevators are enclosed spaces, and getting trapped inside can be very troublesome. Normally, both Team Zero and the six college students living on the second floor take the stairs.

When they reached the second floor, the two encountered Liao Yuxuan and his group standing in the corridor, seemingly preparing to go downstairs.

Upon seeing the two women, several college students greeted them familiarly.

"Yun Zhao, are Brother Song and the others coming back for lunch? We're planning to go downstairs to cook." One of the girls asked.

The rabbit, who had just happily received the White Rabbit candy, instinctively put on a cold face when it saw them, giving off a 'keep away' vibe.

Fortunately, everyone is used to it and doesn't mind.

Yun Zhao nodded and replied, "They will come back."

Liao Yuxuan: "Let's cook lunch. We can make some seafood hot pot and steam three pots of rice."

These days, the college students help manage logistics and are staying at the same hotel as Team Zero.

Since everyone is close in age, there is no sense of distance between them, and they get along exceptionally well.

Team Zero dislikes the large pot meals with little to no side dishes.

After working so hard on their missions, the sentries didn't want to skimp on food.

So usually Song Liang cooks alone and eats here when he comes back.

Seeing this, the university students also joined Team Zero in cooking at the hotel.

They brought a lot of seafood from the aquarium, so they had plenty of supplies.

Occasionally, when I'm busy, I'll also help the Zero Team prepare meals.

Knowing that people with superpowers have big appetites, they usually steam three pots of rice and prepare more seafood and pre-cooked dishes.

Yun Zhao didn't stand on ceremony with them: "Okay."

The seafood was incredibly delicious; you simply can't find it anywhere else in the world.

She looked around and found there were only five people, one was missing, so she asked, "Where is Chen Xi?"
