Chapter 97

When talking about G City, the first thing that comes to people's mind is the massive zombie outbreak that occurred at the beginning of the apocalypse.

With more than 100,000 zombies, not only did the residents have no chance to resist, but even the local armed forces could not hold out for more than half a month.

Those who didn't escape either joined the corpse tide or died at the hands of robbers. Those who escaped moved away one after another, and their fates were full of misfortunes and their futures were uncertain.

For a month, City G almost became a zombie paradise.

But no one expected that things would take a turn for the better later on. From an unknown day or moment, the number of zombies wandering the streets began to decrease significantly.

The officials who detected this phenomenon were so excited that they slammed the table.

Officially, they had intended to use nuclear weapons to eliminate the zombies.

After all, more than 100,000 virus carriers will spontaneously move towards the location of living people.

Once they break through the blockade and spread to other cities, it will be a devastating blow to the residents there and even the entire world!

But using nuclear weapons is not that easy.

The energy of the explosion is released rapidly, and high-temperature and high-pressure gases spread in all directions, turning everything within a few square kilometers into dust in an instant, whether it is buildings, flowers, trees, birds, cats, dogs, or people, none of them can escape death.

The explosion is not the end. A nuclear explosion will cause high temperature hazards and radiation hazards. The radioactive substances produced cannot be artificially intervened and can only rely on nature to slowly decompose.

This period of time lasted for hundreds of years.

Although we still haven't figured out the reason for the decrease in the number of zombies, it makes people feel relieved and grateful that the situation has turned around.

After that, the authorities repeatedly sent out reconnaissance drones and special forces, but unfortunately, they all returned empty-handed and did not get the desired answers.

As the number of zombies decreased day by day, everyone felt happy, confused, and even panicked about the unknown.

Therefore, even though G City seems to have become safe, not many people have the courage to move back there.

Mercenaries will roam the surrounding area, searching for usable supplies.

It was at this time that the strange black crack appeared on the surface of the city.

To be precise, there are not one but two roads, one in the west of G City and one in the east, spanning the entire area.

At first, they were only as long as a baby's forearm, and when viewed from above, they looked like cracks in the floor tiles.

A drone captured the image and people swept it away hastily, thinking it was caused by a zombie or a survivor, and didn't take it seriously.

Until later, the cracks seemed to have the ability to grow and began to expand and spread around.

The crack may change once a month or a few days, but it changes in just a moment.

The survivors who were unable to react in time were swallowed up, and the surrounding buildings suffered as a result.

Even zombies with missing limbs are accepted by it.

The two cracks expanded steadily and synchronously, or rather grew, from the length of an arm at first to the length of a storefront later.

Then there is a basketball court, a residential area, a commercial street...

In just half a year, it almost covered the entire central area of ​​City G, engulfing countless buildings and living things.

People were horrified by this.

.

Upon learning that strange cracks appeared in City G, Wen Xin had a mysterious premonition that the two black cracks were the Dragon Skeleton Rift Valley that the blue whale mentioned.

He decided to set off for City G.

Of course, you must make adequate preparations before setting off.

The First Base will gather people to investigate the situation. The little panda is only A-level and cannot conceal his aura, so it is not suitable for him to go with him.

Wen Xin then returned to Rose City and entrusted the little panda to Canary.

Canary was very happy to see Wen Xin again, but when she heard that he was planning to go to G City, she frowned slightly.

But Wen Xin blocked all his exhortations with one word.

"Xiao Hei might be in City G."

Finding all the dumplings has always been a warm wish.

Initially, Canary was unable to stop Wen Xin from going to the southern region to find the Purple Group and the Blue Group, and now she is unable to shake his determination to go to City G.

He took the panda and thought about it carefully: "You can use your identity as a trainer as a cover and take A-Lu and the others with you, but I suggest that only A-Lu go with you."

Wen Xin understood Canary's concerns. If he brought too many dumplings, he would become a big target and there was no guarantee that the people from the First Base would not target him.

The little walrus and the purple squirrel were a little hesitant when they heard this.

They are still quite confident in the fighting ability of the green grouper, but they are afraid that the First Base will cheat.

The purple squirrel volunteered, "I'll go with you, too. I'll stay in Wen Xin's backpack and no one will notice me."

The little walrus is gentle and still a cub, so it is more appropriate for it to go.

After a few dumplings were added together, they felt that this was safer.

After a long journey, Wen Xin only took a short rest in Rose City for half a day.

After waking up, he did not stop, packed up his belongings, and immediately set off for City G with his two children.

G City is his and Tuanzi's shared home, and it carries countless beautiful memories.

Even if Xiao Hei is not there, he will eventually bring the dumplings back to that place. This is the promise Wen Xin once made to the dumplings and himself.

Rose City is some distance away from City G, and many roads between them are blocked by scrapped vehicles.

Changing lanes, changing cars, and walking wasted a lot of time.

More than half a year has passed since the apocalypse, and the survivors have already reacted. If they come across an intact car on the road, even if they don't have the skills to pry open the lock, they will smash the hood and remove the engine, as well as the tires and seats.

Those are all treasures that can be used!

So Wen Xin and his friends did not have a smooth car change during this trip like they did in the first six months. They spent most of the time walking.

It was more than 20 days later when we arrived in City G.

During these twenty days, the First Base arrived first and met with the troops stationed around City G to observe the situation.

They then mobilized the masses and the power of bounties, selected a relatively safe location on the outskirts of City G, and established a garrison camp.

There is an observation station in the camp, and the people from the First Base are all inside. The rest of the space is reserved for mercenaries and explorers who rushed over after hearing the news.

Transport trucks deliver various precision instruments to the observatory every day, and well-equipped armed personnel stand guard outside to prevent anyone from peeking.

Such luxurious equipment made the survivors who stayed outside sigh at the generosity of the First Foundation.

People discussed it with some respect or some sigh.

"Why would the First Foundation be interested in this anomaly? Aren't they focusing on researching zombie vaccines and mutants?"

"Who knows if this weird phenomenon is caused by mutants? There have been so many contaminated areas recently, and they were all confirmed to be related to those monsters in the end!"

"Monsters, zombies, contaminated areas, I just want to survive, why is it so difficult?"

"What is the cause of the appearance of zombies and monsters? Is it man-made or a natural disaster? Can anyone give an explanation?"

No one noticed a young man carrying a military backpack and rushing to the suburbs, covered in dust.

The sky was gloomy, as if covered with a gray veil.

The camp was bustling and noisy, but the surrounding woods and buildings were very quiet. Occasionally, you could see fully armed soldiers moving around, searching for zombies lurking outside.

Wen Xin arrived quite late, but transportation was inconvenient nowadays, so he was not the only one who was late.

The men were stopped by the guards for routine inspection.

Even though the zombie vaccine has reached its fourth generation and the threat of the virus no longer seems to be as great as before, the only people who can actually get the vaccine are the wealthy and powerful people in various places.

The vast majority of people cannot even afford the first-generation, riskier vaccines. They cheer for the research results of the First Base, but those results do not benefit them.

For safety reasons, inspection is necessary.

Not to mention the dumplings, Wen Xin himself is a "celebrity".

He didn't want to stand in front of the First Base and increase the risk of being exposed, so he glanced around and found some lonely tents on the other side of the camp. There were quite a few of them.

Those are basically lone wolves who come here just to fish in troubled waters and see if they can take advantage of the opportunity to get a piece of the pie. They have no intention of serving the First Base.

The First Foundation, either out of concern for its reputation or out of magnanimity, did not expel them.

Therefore, this group of people have unknown origins and are a mixed bag, making them very suitable for blending in.

Wen Xin touched the mask on his face.

Before I had taken two or three steps, I suddenly heard a commotion behind me.

He looked back and saw several people in white coats suddenly rushing out of the camp gate, followed by assistants pulling suitcases and moving equipment, and then mercenaries who were not sure of their situation.

The noise was very loud, and Wen Xin's hearing was now better than that of an ordinary person, so he could hear it clearly even from a distance.

"What happened? Why are the people in the First Foundation so excited?"

"You see the things they hold in their hands, they keep flashing!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Xin looked at one of the men in white coats.

The other person was holding an instrument that looked like a compass. The warning light on the top was flashing a red light. In the gloomy atmosphere, it was as dazzling as a person's rapidly beating heart.

The voice of the scales viper came from the backpack: "Wen Xin, be careful, Ah Zi and I both have a bad feeling, as if something big is going to happen."

As if responding to the group's warning, there were sudden unusual noises around the camp. Flocks of birds flew out of the dense forest, and several swift black shadows emerged from the buildings.

"Damn, we've cleared the place several times, but there are still zombies here. They're really good at hiding." "That's a mutant wolf over there. It's hard to deal with this thing. It's very cruel. Be on your guard!"

A dark shadow rushed towards Wen Xin, and Wen Xin subconsciously reached for the gun at his waist.

But the extra calmness he had compared to the others made him notice something unusual. He gave up the idea of ​​fighting and quickly took a big step to the side.

The mutant wolf pounced on nothing.

But the bloodthirsty monster did not continue to chase. It ran forward with its tail tucked between its hind legs, looking as panicked as if there was some ferocious beast behind it.

Soon, others also discovered this strange scene and shouted in shock.

"They are running. Are they running because they see that we are more numerous?"

"Are you stupid? Something nearby scared them away!"

Before he finished speaking, the ground suddenly shook.

The scene before my eyes was shaking like someone was shaking a spoon. My eyes were blurry and I couldn't stand steadily. I was tossed from side to side by the violent shaking.

Wen Xin squatted down with his hands on the ground, trying hard to steady his body.

He was one of the better off among them, as the others failed to react in time and their heads hit the wall directly.

After a while, the shaking stopped, like the calm before a storm.

In the suffocating silence, the armed personnel who were exploring the front line came back in a hurry and brought a very terrifying news.

"The two cracks have expanded again. This time, they have spread to cover more than half of G City. The rock layer sandwiched between them has revealed a skeleton-like outline!"
