Then, right after we finished getting our food, Zhan Siyu and his wife arrived.
They had nothing to do today, and Nan Xiangwan didn't feel like cooking, so they ate at the cafeteria.
After all, the cafeteria chefs are quite skilled.
While they were looking for an extra dining table, they saw Mozi and Qingyun having a meal.
"Mozi, you're eating too?"
When Mozi saw his eldest brother and sister-in-law arrive, he immediately stood up and said, "Elder brother, please sit here."
Upon seeing this, Qingyun also stood up and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhan, what a coincidence."
"Um, when did you arrive?"
"I arrived early this morning."
"You've done a quick job. Alright, let's sit down and eat."
After Qingyun sat down, he happily said, "I didn't expect the food at our base to be so good. Thank you so much, Mr. Zhan, for taking me in."
"I'm glad you like it, but how many of you came this time?"
"Including myself, there are a total of 116 people, all of whom are superhumans."
"Hmm, not bad. After that, you can select 30 capable people as your core team members, and the rest will need to be reorganized. Then you can start taking on missions."
"Okay, I'll listen to Mr. Zhan."
A few days later, construction could finally begin on the land that had been frozen all winter.
Early that morning, Zhan Siyu found a suitable location and started having all the people in the base who had nothing to do come and dig. He even brought out the most advanced excavators.
Having nothing better to do, Xiao Jing joined in the fun, then looked at the blueprints and asked, "How deep do we need to dig?"
Zhan Siyu replied, "At least 500 meters, the deeper the better, that way it will be safer. Then we can install an elevator. I've already had the research department develop the generator, and I absolutely guarantee its advanced quality and durability."
"Yes, that's good. When the time comes, the defenses above will only need to protect the emergency exits."
"That's what I was thinking too. I'm planning to go out with Wanwan tomorrow, and we might not be back for a few days. While I'm gone, I'll leave this place to you, brother. You absolutely can't cut corners, or we'll all be buried alive."
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of such an important project."
With the various machines starting to operate, they had already dug to a depth of more than 100 meters on the first day. Of course, this was just the beginning. After all, digging an exit is easy, but digging an underground space that can accommodate tens of thousands of people is the most difficult.
Not only do they have to dig, but they also have to find materials to support it, otherwise an earthquake would cause it to collapse.
Then, early the next morning, not only did many teams set off to search for supplies, but Zhan Siyu and Nan Xiangwan also drove a jeep to a small city in another region.
They haven't traveled far all winter and have no idea what the situation is like outside.
Considering the population of over a billion, it's impossible for only a few hundred thousand people in Beijing to survive. This time, they not only searched for supplies but also wanted to bring back another group of survivors, since the project was too large and they were particularly short of manpower.
He'll accept anyone as long as they're of good character.
Of course, if it weren't for his wife's support, he wouldn't have such confidence.
It's important to understand that the larger the population, the more food is consumed.
As soon as they left the safe zone, they encountered a zombie horde they hadn't seen in a long time.
Nan Xiangwan nearly vomited up his breakfast when he smelled the stench emanating from the zombies.
He casually took out two masks and put them on himself and Zhan Siyu.
"Honey, these zombies are all at least level 3, and there are over 200 of them. How about we split them in half and finish this quickly?"
"Didn't those Japanese guys give us a batch of laser pistols last time? Let's use those and see how powerful they are."
After hearing this, Nan Xiangwan thought it was a good idea and immediately took out four laser guns.
"Two rounds each, let's begin."
"Um."
The couple then drove the car to the side of the road and got out to start clearing the zombies blocking the way.
Nan Xiangwan had never used a laser gun before. With just a wave of her hand, the zombies were torn to pieces with a "crack".
Looking at his masterpiece, he thought to himself, "This thing is so useful."
I should have used this to deal with those big flying insects.
Of course, Zhan Siyu also noticed this and wondered when those foreigners would be able to come again.
Their base also allows you to exchange weapons with them; you never know what you'll find until you try it.
Then the couple started chopping vegetables.
This was the first time they had ever realized that zombies were so fragile these days.
Have the zombies regressed, or are they just too powerful now?
Compared to those big insects, this is really no match for them.
However, in just a short while, a small zombie horde was completely wiped out.
Nan Xiangwan skillfully took out a can of gasoline and began to burn the corpses scattered on the ground.
Only through this incineration process can the crystal core be obtained quickly.
She really didn't want to break open each one to extract the crystal core.
Not only was it disgusting, but it also smelled terrible.
Who told her she's not the newbie she used to be? A pro should act like a pro.
After Nan Xiangwan poured in the gasoline, Zhan Si threw in a flame.
Then a raging fire began to burn.
Looking at the thick black smoke, I haven't felt this excited in a long time.
"Honey, have you noticed that the zombies don't seem to have mutated at all? They're completely different from us superhumans. Could it be that those blue snowflakes are only targeting us superhumans?"
"Probably. Those alien creatures are already a headache. If zombies are like us, I think we won't be able to do anything but fight them every day."
"Sigh... When will this end? Why did all these things that didn't exist in my past life suddenly appear after I was reborn? Is the butterfly effect we two have created really that big?"
When Zhan Si saw his wife's distressed face, he smiled and said, "Don't think too much. Since we've been reborn, there must be something here that we don't know yet. Let's just take it one step at a time."
"Ugh... It's so frustrating. Why can't people just live in peace? I think God is sick, and seriously sick. Look at this once beautiful city, now it's all ruins."
"Alright, stop being sad. Whatever the case, it's already like this. Look, those zombies are almost burned to ashes. Let's collect the crystal cores and continue on our way."
Nan Xiangwan looked at the ashes scattered all over the ground, the crystal cores glittering.
She thought to herself that the crystal core was the best cure for her irritability.
The two quickly collected over 200 crystal cores and continued their southward journey in search of supplies.
The couple worked hard all day and harvested a lot of supplies.
Unfortunately, I didn't encounter a single survivor. I don't know if there's anyone here or if everyone has died. In any case, it's a desolate place, as desolate as can be.
