The dark apocalypse has ended, and the wasteland era has begun. Countless mutated creatures and strange polluted zones are devouring human settlements.
Yun Zhao, who recently awakened her abi...
Chapter 55 has been found.
The three returned to the station hall, quickly boarded a large truck, and left.
The city was still in the dark.
The piercing air raid siren blared through the night sky. The streets were deserted, littered with debris, and vehicles were parked haphazardly in the middle of the road.
Duan Xi drove back along the same route he had come from.
Xie Tu took out the detailed route map that Jiang Mu had given him and pointed out the way, "Go to the East City Commercial District now, there is a large supermarket on the basement level there."
"Okay." Duan Xi was still a little excited and drove the truck at breakneck speed.
The old-fashioned supermarket was several times larger than the shopping center at the base, and its dazzling array of goods was an eye-opener.
There was so much stuff that it couldn't possibly be stored in all the containers.
Yun Zhao pushed over a cart, swept all the items on the shelf into it, and said without turning his head, "We can take the freezers in the cold storage area directly, but we won't go to the other places here."
The shopping mall is very big.
The upstairs area is mostly filled with shops selling clothing, skincare products, and jewelry, which isn't really of much use to them.
Instead of dragging it over and taking up space, we should move more industrial machinery and equipment from outside.
"Yes, we'll move to another place after we finish moving the supermarket." Xie Tu thought so too.
Too lazy to take them one by one, he simply dragged the entire shelf away, carried it over, and threw it into the truck.
The three quickly filled the carriage and drove back to the station.
Trucks made one trip after another to deliver the goods.
The sounds of sirens and artillery fire in the city came and went, sometimes near, sometimes far. After what seemed like the umpteenth trip, the two teams met again.
Yun Zhao swiftly erected a mental barrier, refusing to help them in their dire situation.
Orange's scream whistled past my ear, "Holy crap! How could you be so heartless!"
The white beast seemed tired from flying, folding its wings and standing on the top of the armored vehicle, but its spirit remained high, its tail occasionally lashing at the empty cars blocking the road.
For it, being chased all over the city by a group of monsters was more like a fun game.
The armored vehicles, accompanied by a massive armed army, once again rumbled and disappeared from their sight.
Yun Zhao didn't bother to look at them at all from beginning to end.
Jiang Mu has the key, and he is an S-level Sentinel who has just undergone mental counseling, so there is no need for anyone to worry about him.
As for Xie Tu, he didn't even give him a glance.
Vehicles were running back and forth.
The three then began moving the supplies.
Later on, everyone became numb. Even Duan Xi lost his voice and mechanically loaded things onto the truck whenever he saw them.
Just as they had filled a high-speed train car, they finally encountered the rabbits.
"Captain, we've got everything!" Song Liang and his team came over carrying a huge pile of stuff.
Xie Tu didn't stop. "Keep going until it's full."
There's no time for idle chatter now.
The two teams briefly reunited before separating again, each heading to their assigned areas.
The city was deathly silent at night, except for the occasional loud noises that came from near and far; the streets were quiet and in disarray.
They ran back and forth so many times that even they themselves could hardly count how many times they had made the trip.
They worked continuously moving supplies for seven or eight hours.
Yun Zhao was so tired that he could barely straighten his back, and he felt like his hands and feet were no longer his own.
Get back on the bus.
Yun Zhao and Xie Tu squeezed together.
The narrow passenger seat always had two people sitting in it, with the man's tall frame taking up most of the seat.
Yun Zhao kept his body slightly tilted, sitting in an awkward position for seven or eight hours at a time.
Anyone would find that unbearable.
"It's a bit strange, it feels like things are going a little too smoothly."
Duan Xi, unusually quick-witted, said while driving, "The high-speed train is almost full, but apart from the armed forces chasing Jiang Mu and his group, the city remains unchanged."
"Two possibilities..."
Xie Tu's expression remained normal, but his posture appeared somewhat restrained.
He placed one arm across the gap between them, trying to maintain some distance, but he couldn't avoid some physical contact with her.
Instead, this posture allowed them to occupy a wider space, almost squeezing Yun Zhao out of his seat.
Yun Zhao had no choice but to gesture for him to remove his hand.
Xie Tu withdrew his hand, his thoughts drifting for a second before returning to the main matter, "Firstly, we want to wait until we finish loading the supplies and everyone is at their most exhausted before wiping us out in one fell swoop."
"The second possibility is that it heard everyone's discussion and learned that we were going to kill it, so it has already hidden itself."
If you can't find it, it's pointless to put any more things in it.
Jiang Mu's team will not leave until they retrieve Zhou Tianqi's spiritual body.
For Dawn Zero Team, the supplies on the high-speed train were extremely important, and for the extra 10,000 points, they couldn't possibly abandon Jiang Mu and the others and go out alone.
Duan Xi cursed under his breath, "Damn, are we going to play hide-and-seek again? Can't this gatekeeper have any backbone...?"
His spiritual form, a peregrine falcon, clawed at the driver's side window with its sharp talons.
It seemed to completely agree with the original's thoughts, its body shaking back and forth and swaying from side to side, looking incredibly seductive.
"Captain, where do we go next? Continue searching for industrial machinery?" Duan Xi asked.
Xie Tu moved his legs, shifting a few centimeters away. "Hmm, let's see if there's a supermarket on the side of the road, and get some more supplies to take back."
Yun Zhao listened to their conversation, too tired to speak.
Because of their height difference, her head was just touching his shoulder.
My body remained in a forward-leaning posture, and the feeling of fatigue gradually intensified.
Yun Zhao decided to stop forcing herself, let out a soft breath, and completely relaxed. She leaned all her weight against the man's shoulder to rest.
There's another tough battle ahead, so we need to conserve our energy.
Duan Xi gripped the steering wheel, looking ahead at the road. "Okay, I remember there's still a small supermarket that hasn't been moved yet, and there's a baby store next door. We can take some more formula back with us."
The man in the passenger seat suddenly fell silent, his body stiffening abruptly and remaining motionless.
After a long pause: "Hmm."
The shops on both sides of the street were open and brightly lit, but there was no one there. The east of the city was shrouded in an eerie silence.
The large truck stopped in front of the maternity and baby store, next to a small chain supermarket.
This is already the easternmost part of the city.
The familiar bookstore is right across the street.
As the expansion continues, the city is slowly growing, and the illusory barrier has moved further outward.
The view reflected in the distance still appears as an illusion of the city.
It seemed to have no end.
Xie Tu's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't even raise his head before stepping into the maternity and baby store.
The three of them emptied the baby store of all the milk powder, and then went into the supermarket next door to continue their rampage.
The peregrine falcon led them familiarly to the warehouse behind the building, where boxes of supplies were neatly piled up.
Yun Zhao took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket, unwrapped it, and slowly ate it in small bites, then stood at the door watching them busy themselves.
The guide was physically weak.
Duan Xi didn't think much of it and buried himself in his work.
Everything was loaded onto the vehicle.
The carriages were once again packed full.
"It should only take a few more trips," Duan Xi said.
The city is not large; they have checked and found that only eight high-speed trains stop at the station.
Apart from Jiang Mu, who drew all the firepower, the other three squads were frantically loading items.
As for how to allocate supplies between the two bases, we'll discuss that once we're out there.
"Captain, let's go." Duan Xi closed the truck door.
Xie Tu stood still, turning his head slightly to look behind him, as if waiting for Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao slowly took the last bite of chocolate, threw away the chocolate wrapper, and walked towards him.
The two of them walked around to the passenger seat facing the road.
Just before boarding the bus.
Yun Zhao suddenly turned around, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she swiftly made her move, her immense spiritual power surging out of her body like a tidal wave.
Countless cyan-green fluorescent lights instantly formed a net, enveloping and covering the entire bookstore across the street.
