The moonlight was bright, and together with the white snow on the ground, it illuminated the world, making it almost indistinguishable from daytime.
Cheng Zhen saw it clearly, narrowed his eyes almost imperceptibly, and then fired three shots in front of the person's feet: "Stop! Who goes there!"
"You... Cheng Zhen?" The people were all covered in dust and dirt, looking disheveled. Their faces were obscured by what appeared to be blood or mud, making it impossible to recognize them.
But they clearly recognized Cheng Zhen and knew his temperament, so they dared not play coy anymore and quickly identified themselves, fearing that he would open fire and kill them like zombies!
"I am Zhou Qingshen, a company commander under Captain Yu of the Xiangcheng Inner City Camp. We are on the orders of City Lord Bi to go to Zhusha City..."
He didn't say what he was going to say next, but everyone knew perfectly well that they were going to Cinnabar City to get Omega and Cinnabar.
Cheng Zhen maintained his attack stance and asked coldly, "This isn't the way to Vermilion City. How did you end up here?"
This clearly indicates a lack of trust in their sudden appearance.
"Captain Cheng! It's too late! Run!" Zhou Qingshen hurriedly wiped the sweat from his face, gritted his teeth, and walked at the front of the group, enduring the oppressive aura emanating from Cheng Zhen.
At the same time, a scream suddenly rang out from the back of the column, and the column immediately descended into chaos. They had long since run out of bullets, and now all that was left was hand-to-hand combat with bayonets and clubs.
Normally, they all knew how formidable Cheng Zhen was and dared not cross him, but now, it seemed that only he could protect them. They all ignored the gun in Cheng Zhen's hand and ran towards them like madmen.
Despair flashed across Zhou Qingshen's face: "Run! The zombies are coming!"
So they were zombies! No wonder they were in such a terrible state!
Cheng Zhen's expression changed, and he protected Jiang Wan, signaling for them to retreat: "Get in the car quickly!"
Jiang Wan jumped into the RV first, followed closely by Yu Fen, while the rest of them got into the camp's off-road vehicles.
Some members of Zhou Qingshen's team were envious of Jiang Wan's spacious and comfortable RV, and their feet unconsciously moved towards it. Yu Fen rebuked them with a gun: "Anyone who's not afraid of dying, come up here and try again?"
Who is this guy who wants to get into his sister-in-law's RV?
Beautiful him!
"Ah!" Someone screamed wildly from the side, as a wolf pounced towards them, and gunshots rang out instantly.
At the same time, Cheng Zhen jumped onto the roof of the RV and shouted, "Hurry!"
After Jiang got into the car that evening, she immediately sat in the driver's seat and started the car. The moment the scream rang out, she reversed and turned her head. Just then, she saw the zombie wolf biting a man who was trying to get into her RV. Yu Fen was standing at the car door, and a light shockwave killed the monster.
Her eyes flickered, she quickly turned her head, and with fluid movements, drove the car away.
The people running on foot walked in front, while the others drove behind. All of them, a dozen or so, were superhumans; even those with ranged attack abilities like Yu Fen didn't use guns.
But the horde of zombies behind them was so huge that, because of the deep snow, Cheng Zhen and the others didn't hear a sound when they approached!
"Damn it!" Cheng Zhen, standing on the RV, couldn't help but yell in frustration after killing a group of zombies with a light shockwave. "Where did all these zombies come from?!"
Not only people, but also various wild beasts and animals! Mostly wolves!
“We encountered these things as soon as we arrived outside Vermilion City.”
Zhou Qingshen called his teammates to climb onto the roof of the car. He himself was also a light-strike ability user, but at this moment, his ability was obviously exhausted, so he couldn't help.
Cheng Zhen wouldn't give them guns, but he distributed some crystals to them: "Everyone, quickly perk up and wipe out the zombie horde first!"
Yu Fen was killing zombies at the car door when he overheard something and couldn't help but sneer, "So, you didn't even get through the gates of Vermilion City?"
"No, we met them when we came out."
Zhou Qingshen used a crystal, which, although of poor quality and insufficient energy, at least gave him a much-needed respite.
With him taking the lead, the more than twenty survivors under his command also mustered their strength after using the crystals and helped fight the zombies.
Jiang Wan had looked at the map of the area and knew there was a building materials factory nearby. She immediately turned on the turn signal and then asked Cheng Zhen by radio.
Cheng Zhen didn't hesitate: "Go!"
Regardless of the situation at the building materials factory, it was at least a place to shelter from the wind and rain, allowing them to rest and recuperate. In the wild, they would be constantly attacked in turn, and even someone as strong as him would be overwhelmed.
After all, he had to both kill zombies and use his purification abilities to block the attacks of the surrounding mutated plants.
There was absolutely no signal in this area, so navigation was impossible. Jiang Wan could only rely on her intuition to navigate.
Fortunately, Yu Fen immediately recognized the location of the building materials factory: "I roughly know where it is!"
With his guidance, the group finally stumbled and fell, killing zombies as they retreated to the front of the building materials factory.
Clearly, when the oxygen-deficient apocalypse arrived, there were still many employees in the building materials factory. They all suffocated to death in their sleep, and now they have all turned into zombies.
The gate to the building materials factory was open. Cheng Zhen shone a strong spotlight inside, but couldn't see anything from the outside: "Someone come in with me!"
Yu Fen and the others drove all their cars through the gate and parked them in the open space inside the building materials factory.
"Thanks to the moon goddess for protecting us tonight!" Yu Fen muttered casually, conjuring a powerful wave of light that killed all the zombies blocking the doorway who had followed them in. Then he shouted, "Close the door!"
As they worked together to close and lock the gate, a large number of zombies were kept outside, but a small number of zombies had already chased them in.
But there weren't many of them, and they killed them all in a few moves.
Taking advantage of the rare moment of safety, everyone quickly seized the opportunity to rest.
Jiang Wan took out water from the tree hole space for them, and after thinking for a moment, she replaced the water with vitamin drinks. When she had previously accepted the supplies from the mountain town supermarket, this was the thing she accepted the most of. It was probably because the taste was not good and the price was expensive, so the sales were not good and there was a lot of unsold inventory.
Yu Fen and the others thanked him repeatedly. At this crucial moment, they didn't dare to be sarcastic and each respectfully said, "Thank you, Expert Xiao Wan!"
Having just experienced a thrilling ordeal, Jiang Wan was parched and very hungry. Right, they hadn't had dinner yet. Yu Fen and the others took out compressed biscuits and wolfed them down with vitamin drinks, while she quietly took out a bag of Oreos from her tree hole space.
Although she wanted to keep a low profile, she really didn't want to force herself to eat those hard-to-swallow compressed biscuits.
Drinking water tasted bland, so I took out a bag of jujube milk. Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed something strange on the wall of the hollow tree.
She stared intently, and was astonished to find a row of shelves on the wall of the hollow tree. Each shelf held a transparent box, but all the boxes were currently empty except for the one in front of her, which contained a packet of seeds labeled "Potato Shooter."
