Yu Tongguang's expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Cao Jin!"
Cheng Zhenjiang and the others looked over together, and even the people who were busy harvesting rice and shoveling snow in the paddy field stopped what they were doing and looked up.
They separated as soon as they left the city, and two days have passed. Especially since the temperature dropped last night, and it has been snowing heavily ever since, they still can't get in touch with the team that took the highway!
The men from the Second Battalion all rushed over here; their battalion commander hadn't arrived yet!
However, none of the people who staggered towards them from afar, their clothes tattered and disheveled, with only an oxygen mask still hanging on their faces, their bodies stiff from the cold, and their walking abnormal, were Zhang Yu, the battalion commander of their Second Battalion!
As they approached and looked at them one by one, they realized that they were all unfamiliar faces, and none of them were their brothers from the Second Battalion!
"Where's Captain Zhang?! Where's everyone else?!"
Li Su, the company commander of the Second Battalion, had bloodshot eyes. He grabbed Cao Jin and shook him desperately, shouting, "Where's our Captain Zhang! Where is he? What happened? Why can't we get in touch with him?!"
They looked like they were in big trouble, and those who came back were all from the inner city camp, which didn't make any sense.
The others hung their heads, shivering uncontrollably from the cold, unable to even open their mouths. Cao Jin, being a superhuman, was slightly more resistant to the cold and managed to say, "Uh...uh..."
But he was so cold that his teeth were chattering, and his voice was so soft that it was barely audible. These people were clearly on the verge of death.
Although the team has many fire-type ability users, they could normally keep warm by burning a fire, but there is no oxygen in the environment here, so a fire cannot be started at all, and the heating supplies from Xiangcheng will not be able to be mobilized so quickly.
Yu Tongguang snatched the ginger tea that Jiang Wan had just boiled without saying a word, and poured it for them to drink: "Drink it quickly!"
The men's fingers were so cold that they were stiff, and they had only managed to walk back by sheer willpower. So Yu Tongguang and the other two personally fed them mouthful by mouthful.
The people from the outer city camp all surrounded them, looking at them coldly.
Li Su clenched his fists tightly, suppressing the urge to hit someone. Only after Cao Jin finished his ginger tea did he look at him coldly and ask through gritted teeth, "Speak! Where are our captain and the other brothers?!"
No wonder they weren't friendly. If the inner-city camp hadn't tried to steal the credit for transporting supplies, Captain Zhang and his team wouldn't have ended up on the highway!
Anyone with eyes can see that highways in oxygen-deprived, post-apocalyptic mountainous areas are the most dangerous!
If it weren't for them, Captain Zhang and his team would never have taken that route!
They are all superhumans!
Looking at the cowards in the inner city camp, apart from Cao Jin, they are all ordinary people without any special abilities. If it weren't for Captain Zhang and the others protecting them, they would never have been able to come back alive. But now, they are back, and there is no trace of Captain Zhang and the others!
Where are they?!
The brothers in the Second City camp roared in unison, their eyes bloodshot, as if they could tear those bastards in the Inner City camp apart at any moment!
Cao Jin and the others had just escaped death, and were walking desperately through the freezing cold, while also having to dodge attacks from mutated plants. They were really just lucky to have made it this far and encountered the main force. They finally managed to get a sip of hot water, but then they were so frightened that they couldn't take it anymore.
"We...the viaduct collapsed...we fell down the mountain..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Cheng Zhen suddenly shouted, "Where are they?!"
"Yes..." Cao Jin looked unwell and remained silent. The one who spoke was a soldier behind him.
But before he could finish speaking, two car horns suddenly rang out from outside the crowd, and the crowd unconsciously made way for him.
An SUV and a pickup truck drove by, both of them were badly damaged.
Zhang Yu jumped out of the car. Although they were also freezing, they had a car with heating and were also superhumans, so their situation was much better than Cao Jin and the others.
"We're late!" Zhang Yu walked towards Pingjiang and Cheng Zhen. Although his expression was not good, he was still polite to them and asked, "Do you have any cotton-padded clothes? My brothers are freezing!"
"Yes." Cheng Zhen then gestured for Yu Fen to fetch it for them.
But there weren't many, only about ten pieces. Yu Tongguang was just about to take a few for his brothers when Zhang Yu stood in front of him.
"Captain Yu, shall we talk?"
While they were supposed to be chatting, Zhang Yu rolled up his sleeves and grabbed him to start a fight.
Yu Tongguang is a typical representative of cadres in the inner city camp. He is lazy and greedy for credit, but he neglects to exercise. Although he is a superhuman, his abilities are really weak. He can't beat Cheng Zhen or Zhang Yu.
Having just been disciplined by Cheng Zhen, they were now being brutally beaten by Zhang Yu. The outer city camp stood by and watched, and Cheng Zhen simply told everyone to go back to what they were doing.
So everyone got busy, some shoveling snow, some harvesting rice. Only Pingjiang, the captain of the outer city's first battalion, was left. He was upright and honest and worried that someone might die, so he just watched from the side.
"Damn it! You surnamed Zhang! Are you crazy?! Haven't you had enough?!"
Yu Tongguang was going crazy. He felt that he hadn't been beaten to death by Cheng Zhen, but he was going to die at Zhang Yu's hands!
He used to be so respectable and dignified, how did he end up like this, where anyone can lay a hand on him?!
So he fought back!
Zhang Yu delivered a powerful punch that knocked Yu Tongguang to the ground. Yu Tongguang's expression changed drastically, as if he could clearly hear the sound of his ribs breaking.
Zhang Yu was still not satisfied: "Two of my perfectly healthy superhumans died in the valley trying to save you bunch of bastards! Now you're asking me if I'm crazy? What kind of idiots are you all in the inner city camp! All you do is give orders blindly! When trouble comes, all you do is run away! You're all cowards like wimps, but where were you when it came to claiming credit?!"
Pingjiang counted the number of people following him back, and sure enough, two were missing.
His gaze darkened. In this oxygen-deprived apocalypse, only those with superpowers truly knew how rare and precious they were!
Losing even one of them would be a huge loss!
Thinking about this, he got angry, so he silently turned his eyes away and left.
Trying to break up a fight? Forget it, we're all adults and need to be responsible for our own actions.
The brothers who came back with Zhang Yu came over and said to Cheng Zhen, "We took a long detour on our way back and saw that there was also a large area of farmland over there, but it was covered by heavy snow. We don't know what was planted underneath."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wan replied, "Summer is the harvest season for crops. In addition to rice, there are peanuts, wheat, potatoes, and various vegetables and fruits."
Whatever it is, it's all good stuff now!
Cheng Zhen and Ping Jiang immediately dispatched people over, and at the same time, Lao Liu's message arrived: "Application approved. Not many supplies. Come and collect them."
