A strange situation has arisen.
The Bai family and Captain Zhang were extremely close to the zombie horde, and the zombies, with their highly developed sense of smell for flesh and blood, could immediately detect their scent.
But not a single zombie rushed at them.
If the zombie horde were merely retreating, it wouldn't be too strange. The strangest scenario would be—
The captain of the Human Survivors Alliance stood not far from the horde of zombies, gazing "affectionately" at them.
This is a war without gunfire.
Captain Zhang only looked away after the last zombie had disappeared from their sight.
I hope he didn't misread it.
Hopefully, his bet will allow human civilization to continue for a longer period of time.
Choosing to coexist peacefully with zombies—I don't know if it's the right or wrong thing to do.
For a moment, Captain Zhang didn't know what risks his choice would bring to the distant future, or whether he was right or wrong.
All he knew was that this was the best option for the past few decades.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Captain Zhang sighed softly, his expression a complex mix of emotions, and took the lead in walking towards the passageway.
There were zombie corpses everywhere ahead, rotting flesh flying everywhere, making it impossible to find a place to step.
Centered on Captain Zhang, a thick layer of frost suddenly appeared on the ground, freezing the rotting flesh and black blood underfoot.
The surrounding plants had been destroyed, leaving the scorching sun exposed.
The sun's intense rays fell on the ice, but did not shake its solidity in the slightest.
The Bai family members were unsure what Captain Zhang meant, and all looked at Bai Xizhu.
Their goal has actually been achieved. The Fusang Tree, which can resist the zombie virus, has been given to the Alliance. We believe that Mr. Zhong will definitely be able to develop a vaccine.
Before Bai Xizhu could speak, Captain Zhang's voice came from the front.
"Don't you want to know what the tomb keepers have been guarding for generations? Or, don't you want to know why the mountains and rivers on Earth suddenly erupt with energy tides?"
Captain Zhang's voice was calm, as if he already knew the truth and had only come to take a look.
"Walk."
Bai Xizhu uttered a single word and walked towards Captain Zhang.
She desperately wanted to know why the apocalypse had occurred.
If they hadn't been reborn, the fate of every member of their family would have been tragic.
Seeing Bai Xizhu nod, the Bai family members all tacitly followed in her footsteps.
"It would be even better if we knew how the apocalypse would end."
The base commander muttered something and followed behind Leng Yebai.
Da da da.
The shoes clicked on the ice, and beneath the ice, the grotesque zombies were unrecognizable.
Fragments of rotting flesh were everywhere.
Through the ice, you can't smell the rotting odor of the zombies, but stepping on the rotting flesh makes you feel like you could be attacked by the hideous zombies below at any moment.
Occasionally, a few zombies with their eyes open would appear, their limbs severely twisted and damaged, making it impossible for them to leave with the main zombie horde.
He could only lie on the ground with his eyes open.
Even if there is a layer of ice above them, they will not "die".
He could barely open and close his mouth, only managing to bite into a layer of ice shards.
If no one understands them, they will have long lifespans, indifferent to joy and sorrow, quietly watching the sky. Only when flesh and blood pass by nearby can their emotions be stirred.
The group stepped over pieces of rotting flesh, passed through the passageway, and finally arrived in front of this once-large base.
This is the entrance to a cave. You can tell that the cave entrance used to be quite hidden, but after multiple explosions, it has been completely exposed.
The entrance is in a very conspicuous location.
The cave was still dimly lit, and looking inside, there was a long passage filled with the bodies of zombies.
Captain Zhang's fingertips were emanating a dense energy fluctuation, and an invisible force of control was exerted on the zombies inside the passage.
One by one, the rotting flesh and remains of zombies flew out and slowly landed on the open ground to the side.
Even though these were the bodies of zombies, Captain Zhang gave them the respect due to corpses.
In a short time, the long passage was covered with frost, the corpses were cleared out, and the black blood solidified under the ice.
No need to worry about accidentally getting a scratch while walking and turning into a little cutie.
The passage leads downwards, and the lights embedded on both sides remain intact, except for the black blood that suggests what happened here.
Captain Zhang led the way inside, followed closely by the Bai family.
The passageway is wide enough for two people to walk side by side; it's not exactly narrow.
Small pieces of rotting flesh were occasionally embedded in the uneven ground beneath the ice.
Even Liu Jing and Wang Yiyun, who are known for their strong mental fortitude, found it hard to watch.
"There are murals on this!"
Bai Yifan looked around the walls to shift his attention, and suddenly noticed the ancient patterns on both sides of the passage.
The murals are already somewhat blurred and indistinct. They haven't been exposed to wind and rain in the cave, and their surfaces are beginning to show signs of weathering.
The murals depict luxurious palaces or beautiful maidens.
Those palaces were layered upon each other, with pavilions and towers arranged in a harmonious and orderly manner.
Although he had never seen such a pavilion in person, Bai Yifan could already feel the splendor of the ancients.
"This must be a ritual to worship the heavens."
