The contents of the box were disgusting; it was gurgling with blood. As soon as the lid was opened, a strong, pungent, and foul smell of blood wafted out, making it nauseating.
Even though Jiang Wan was standing far away, she couldn't help but feel nauseous and uncomfortable from the smell.
What exactly is this thing?
But clearly, this is the culprit that caused the zombies to relentlessly chase after them.
Yu Fen said, "Boss, why don't you open a portal to time and space and move it?"
The best way would be to burn it, but there's no oxygen in the air in the wild, so it won't burn at all. Besides, even if there were oxygen, it would be a bit of a waste to use it to burn something like this.
After considering it for a while, Cheng Zhen finally opened the portal and threw the box, along with it, into Xiashan Town.
That area is already a ghost town. Even if it attracts a large number of zombies, as long as people don't go there, it won't cause major losses.
Before he could make a move, Zhou Qingshen and the others transferred out a small amount of Omega and Cinnabar from the box. To avoid exposing it to them, they took off Yuan Jie's clothes and wrapped the items tightly.
Yu Fen and the others scoffed, muttering under their breath, "What a despicable act! Do they think we're so special?"
Cheng Zhen glared at him, then focused on the movements of the zombie horde outside.
Sure enough, after the foul-smelling, bloody things were removed, the zombies outside loosened up considerably, and the impact on the outer walls, doors, and windows was reduced significantly.
Holy crap!
Yu Fen pointed at the retreating horde of zombies outside and said to Zhou Qingshen and the others, "See that?! You've become bait! You've been caught red-handed by this huge wave of zombies!"
Zhou Qingshen and the others looked very grim. Even if they couldn't understand it before, how could they not understand it now?
Cheng Zhen squinted, stood with his hands behind his back by the window, and remained silent.
"Cinnabar City has come up with a brilliant plan! On the surface, they're offering your city lord some benefits, using things like Ω and cinnabar to show how generous they are, but in reality, they're using our Xiang City as bait to lure zombies!"
"Holy crap! If all the zombies in this area are lured to Xiangcheng, won't Zhusha City be able to rest easy? Damn it! Does this guy have to be so wicked?"
"Who the hell came up with this idea? They're a complete idiot!"
Yu Fen and the others were much more agitated, each hurling their own words, growing increasingly indignant as they cursed!
"Alright!" Cheng Zhen suddenly spoke up, "Don't forget we still have a mission!"
Oh, right, there's also the task of getting ten tons of bamboo!
Suddenly encountering Zhou Qingshen's team and a horde of zombies, their bamboo-cutting mission was interrupted midway!
But now there are zombie monkeys outside the security door, and there are also some zombies eyeing them from the outside. They are trapped inside and can't get out!
"No, didn't they already throw the things away? Why haven't they left yet?"
One of the younger guys from the inner city camp couldn't help but ask.
Yu Fen snorted and retorted without any politeness: "Then go ask them!"
Jiang Wan frowned almost imperceptibly. Why was this person even more irritable than Cheng Zhen?
The thought had barely crossed her mind when Cheng Zhen suddenly said to Zhou Qingshen, "It's a fucking miracle that you guys are still alive here!"
That's incredibly stupid! He actually survived!
Cheng Zhencai ignored them. He stood there for a while, thought about it, and then decided, "Let's go."
They couldn't go out the main gate; there were still many zombies outside. If they, just a few people, were to force their way out, they would easily suffer heavy losses and might even lose their brothers' lives. It wasn't worth it.
Go upstairs?
Needless to say, the stairwell outside the security door is full of zombie monkeys. Perhaps the entire building, except for this ground floor workshop, has been overrun by zombie monkeys.
Then the only option is to try to move to other buildings through the two side entrances.
This building materials factory, when viewed from the air, is shaped like the Chinese character "日" (sun). They need to move from the first row to the back, and quietly leave from behind the zombie horde.
Yu Fen and the others immediately split into two teams. One team followed Cheng Zhen to scout ahead and clear any dangers ahead, while the other team immediately got into the car and drove after them.
In an oxygen-deficient apocalypse, oxygen-storing vehicles are rare and cannot be easily discarded.
Jiang Wan also got into the RV and stood in the middle of the convoy. Before leaving, she didn't forget to take the pot of potato shooters with her.
She only had ten seeds in the tree hole space, so she had to use them sparingly.
Fortunately, the workshop aisles of this building materials factory are wide enough for vehicles to pass through.
Without saying a word, Zhou Qingshen and the others immediately followed, clinging tightly to Cheng Zhen's thick leg!
For some reason, no matter where they went, zombies would immediately spot them and quickly swarm them!
Just like before, they followed the scent!
They tried moving to two large workshops, but it didn't work. Cheng Zhen finally couldn't take it anymore, grabbed a person carrying an Ω, and dragged him straight to the window.
"Ah!" The man screamed in fright, caught off guard. Seeing himself getting closer and closer to the zombie, he struggled frantically, and was so scared that he wet himself.
"Cheng Zhen!" Zhou Qingshen, as the team leader, couldn't just stand by and watch his teammate get killed, so he stepped in to stop him. "What are you doing?"
"I suspect your group is not clean. From now on, we're splitting up!"
Zhou Qingshen and the others stared wide-eyed, never expecting him to make such a decision so suddenly!
But they knew even more clearly that they could not return to Xiangcheng safely on their own!
"Captain Cheng, we are acting on orders from City Lord Bi..."
"Then you should ask Lord Bi to send reinforcements to rescue you!"
Cheng Zhen gritted his teeth, once again feeling that Lord Bi was brainless and did nothing practical. Given the relationship between Xiangcheng and Zhushacheng, how could he still believe that Zhushacheng would kindly give him Ω and cinnabar?
groove!
madness!
"Either you hand over your belongings, and I'll send you back right now!"
"Impossible!" Zhou Qingshen knew that Cheng Zhen could open a portal to time and space and send them back instantly, yet he hadn't made a move. It turned out he was after what they had in their possession!
His eyes were bloodshot, and he clung tightly to his brother, insisting, "We must take him back!"
"Alright. You can leave now, we have a mission to complete, so we'll have to take our leave!"
Cheng Zhen tossed aside the younger brother, then called to his own brothers to turn left, and they truly parted ways.
Zhou Qingshen and the others were dumbfounded. Without Cheng Zhen, how were they going to get back?
They don't even have enough oxygen to get back to Xiangcheng!
Meanwhile, Cheng Zhen and the others, while feeling relieved, were also puzzled: "Boss, are we really just going to leave them alone?"
It wasn't that he was soft-hearted and sympathetic towards those people; he just felt it was a waste of the Ω they possessed.
Just think how rare this stuff is! Maybe the amount of Ω they painstakingly cut down ten tons of bamboo to get isn't even as much as the box they have in their hands!
"You idiot, do you really think that only that one thing on them attracted the zombies?" Cheng Zhen couldn't help but slap Yu Fen. "Has your brain been eaten by zombies too?"
Yu Fen covered his head with both hands, looking aggrieved: "No, it's just that I'm a little short of oxygen..."
