Chapter 47 Opening Champagne Halfway Through

Xie Tu led his team, with Zhou Tianqi in tow, following behind the white beast.

The air was thick with a pungent, fishy stench, and splattered slime was constantly corroding the city streets.

The mutants affected by the mental threads remained motionless.

They passed through two long streets filled with monsters, so far apart that the two phoenixes, still flying in the air, noticed the huge commotion below.

The peregrine falcon quickly flew over to investigate.

The armored off-road vehicle was being overwhelmed by the sheer number of mutants, moving forward at a snail's pace.

The male lion, its body radiating black energy, still stood at the forefront, protecting its main body.

All the automatic firing ports on the vehicle were opened, and bullets whizzed incessantly as the mutated creatures charged towards them.

"It's Song Liang!" Duan Xi exclaimed in surprise.

White-haired Beast: [Ah, I remember now, I almost forgot about him.]

The message received was from the peregrine falcon.

Duan Xi almost lost his temper: "You forgot to mention this?"

So unreliable, no wonder I couldn't find Zhou Tianqi after searching for a month.

"Go pick them up!"

Xie Tu rushed out quickly, and the others followed.

Yun Zhao nestled obediently in his arms; she felt a little tired after maintaining the same position for too long.

Finally... we've found everyone.

The cyan-green fluorescent psychic threads spread along the streets they ran through, surging as if alive, controlling the howling mutants that charged forward.

The Azure Phoenix, emitting a dazzling light, with its pair of blue beastly eyes exuding coldness and arrogance, ignored the annoying Fire Phoenix and hovered above their heads.

The group made their way to the street where the armored vehicle was located on foot.

The intense gunfire attracted all the nearby mutants.

Except for a few reddish gun muzzles, the entire car body, including the windows, was almost buried by the mutants.

The fire phoenix swooped down, taking away a large wave of monsters.

Song Liang had been enduring the corrosive effects of the dark matter, his face was pale, and his forehead was covered in sweat.

The view through the car window became clear, and a familiar figure appeared faintly.

Song Liang shook his head vigorously to stay awake and quickly turned off the automatic launch device inside the car to avoid accidentally injuring his teammates.

The faint glow drew near, purifying the dark matter within the lion's body.

"Get in the car!"

Xie Tu killed the motionless mutant by the car with a single slash, then opened the car door and put Yun Zhao inside.

She, who had been carried the whole way, was finally freed.

“Cloud Guide!” Song Liang’s expression returned to normal. When he saw her come in, he almost burst into tears as he spoke.

That cry contained so much emotion.

In the past, Song Liang appeared particularly steady and mature compared to his three teammates.

They were clearly quite excited to reunite after being apart.

"That's great, so you're all together."

Yun Zhao nodded, "Yes, you're the only one left alone."

Song Liang: "..."

Soon, Duan Xi and Rabbit followed closely behind and got into the car.

Duan Xi placed Zhou Tianqi on the seat, wishing he could rush up and give Song Liang a hug, "Old Song! Do you know how hard we've been looking for you!"

“That’s right!” the rabbit nodded vigorously.

Song Liang gave a wry smile, "I drove straight into the gray fog, and in the blink of an eye, you were all gone, including the captain who was sitting in the passenger seat..."

At this moment.

Xie Tu and Tao Haohao also got into the car.

The car door closed, creating a sealed space inside.

Team Zero assembled.

Everyone rushed forward to greet Song Liang and ask about his situation after they parted ways.

"That white-haired beast is absolutely unreliable!"

"Holy crap, it flew over and just said it wanted to play with us. It answered every question the captain asked, and we almost just left!"

"Thank goodness we have the cloud guide. Next time we'll have the logistics department make a new prop, or we can lead it when we go into contaminated areas..."

Xie Tu glanced at Yun Zhao, who was resting in his seat, and interrupted them coldly, "Stop chattering, Song Liang, stick close to the White Xi Beast."

The mental threads controlling the mutant species continue to spread.

It consumes the guide's mental energy.

I wonder how long she can hold on.

Song Liang snapped out of his daze, started the car, and said, "Yes!"

Xie Tu checked the ammunition reserves inside the vehicle.

Ammunition boxes were piled up in the vehicle, easily visible at a glance, while the large boxes under the seats remained untouched.

However, several boxes piled up on both sides of the vehicle had been opened, revealing the magazines inside.

"How worn is the car?" Xie Tu asked.

Song Liang came to his senses and checked the dashboard. "Everything is normal. There shouldn't be much damage."

The armored off-road vehicle of Team Zero has accompanied them in and out of several contaminated areas.

The entire body is made of superconducting corrosion-resistant metal developed in the 22nd century, and the tires are biomimetic slime tires.

They got all the good stuff from other contaminated areas.

Upon hearing this, Xie Tu ordered, "Quickly replenish your ammunition."

"yes!"

The white-haired beast flew ahead of the vehicle, leading them to find the real Pollution Zone 88.

The spirits stood guard outside the car, helping to clear the road.

All types of ammunition boxes were opened.

The others loaded ammunition into their backpacks.

Yun Zhao had opened his backpack at some point and taken out a bunch of snacks, piling them on the folding chair. "Do you want some?"

Wow! Where did this food come from?

Tao Haohao didn't stand on ceremony and took a bag of cream bread.

He casually tossed a bag to Song Liang, who was driving.

Song Liang took it, gripped the steering wheel with one hand, bit open the bag with his teeth and took a bite. "Damn, this stuff is really delicious, sweet and chewy."

Yun Zhao took a small bite of a strawberry sandwich cookie. "I got it from the supermarket when I was looking for you guys."

Duan Xi reached out and pulled out a bag of pickled chicken feet. He tore open the bag and smelled an enticing aroma. He looked regretful and said, "There were so many good things from the old days. If only I could take them all with me."

It's rare to encounter a timeline that remains in a contaminated area before the apocalypse.

Unfortunately, their vehicle can't carry much.

Moreover, even when taking things out, the captain would choose technologies or precision instruments that the base did not have.

Snacks are too extravagant.

Moreover, it does not help the base at all; it can only be used to satisfy one's verbal urges.

The rabbit took a bite of its cream bread, glanced at the captain, and tentatively suggested, "How about we each drive a car and try to load up as much stuff as possible?"

"I think it's a good idea!" Tao Haohao raised both hands in agreement.

Xie Tu was still counting the ammunition. He was tall and had long legs, so he had to bend over to operate the machine in the cramped carriage, refilling the bullets in the automatic firing device.

I could hear them talking.

Xie Tu turned and glanced at them. "Is that all the ambition you've got?"

The group fell silent and focused on eating.

"There were so many good things from the old days that even if you drove five cars, you couldn't carry that many."

Yun Zhao lowered his eyes, focusing intently on eating the strawberry cookies, and said, "I have a way to hold more."

Everyone looked over.

Including Xie Tu.

"What method?" Duan Xi pressed.

Yun Zhao, as if thinking of something, smiled slightly and said softly, "The station to the south is the high-speed rail station..."

Since touching something can turn it into a physical object, instead of driving a car, why not have one person drive a high-speed train?

It's not entirely accurate to say that.

None of them know how to drive a high-speed train, and there are no tracks on the streets, so it simply can't get off the train.

But as long as the gatekeeper is killed and the high-speed train is left in place, the goods can be taken out.

There are two bases with reinforcements outside. After the domain collapses, there will be backup. We are not afraid of being surrounded by mutants. We can carry a lot of supplies.

Of course, the prerequisite is to take down the gatekeeper first...
