"You've finally arrived! Come with me!"
The van roared off with a whoosh of exhaust fumes.
Upon arriving at the base entrance, the horrific scene shocked everyone.
The dilapidated gate, the collapsed wall, the zombies in the trees—the crowd was beyond shocked!
Looking out the front window, Lin Yu saw a scene that looked like he had entered a long-abandoned village.
"My God! This is terrifying! Even the wall has collapsed!"
The same scene appeared before Lin Anran's eyes, and she recalled the appalling scene of the base in her previous life.
That was the first time she had experienced the devastation of a natural disaster up close. She had always been well protected as an experimental subject.
However, after the disaster ended, the casualties were heavy, and everyone lost their homes and the homes that protected them in an instant.
She was taken away from the dangerous laboratory and watched as one corpse after another was carried away.
"Sis? Did you see that? Look at that zombie in the tree! Hanging upside down, hahahahaha!"
Lin Anran slowly smiled, knowing that her younger brother wanted her to forget those painful memories.
"Look how uncomfortable it is! Let's take care of it!"
Lin Anran casually unleashed a vine that severed the zombie's head.
"Sister Ranran! You're amazing! Your skills and abilities are truly impressive!"
Gu Chen cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, looking at him with the expression of an admiring younger brother.
"Me too!" Lin Yu joined in the fun, and the atmosphere immediately eased a lot.
The situation was urgent, and as soon as the car stopped, everyone threw themselves into the rescue work.
Lin Anran and the others were tasked with clearing out the zombies in the base. Although many of them were frozen solid, the number of zombies brought by the typhoon was still countless.
The man leading Lin Anran felt somewhat resentful. Why were there so many women in his team, just there to hold him back?
His eyes were filled with impatience as he urged the leisurely group, "Hurry up! You're here to help, not to go on vacation!"
And you three, don't hold me back. I need this to collect supplies after the mission is over!
The three people who were inexplicably called out pulled back the remaining four hot-tempered men.
"Really? That's really causing you trouble!"
Jiang Rong gave a charming chuckle, which captivated the complaining man.
"No, no trouble at all, just don't cause any trouble! Let's go! Let's get to work!"
Throughout the journey, Lin Anran and her two companions deliberately refrained from making a move, which further convinced the man of his suspicions.
"Hey! Xin-ge! How's it going? How many zombies have you guys killed?"
The man walked towards us, his tone full of provocation, and he glanced around with a smile.
"It seems I have a great chance of winning this time; all those supplies are mine!"
"You! Wang Peng, don't underestimate me. As a defeated opponent, you won't beat me this time either!"
"Okay! Let's take a look!"
Wang Peng gave a sarcastic smile and led his men to the other side.
"Brother Xin! Let's continue!" Lin Yu waved his military knife, his eyes casual.
Li Xin could only lead the group forward with a heavy heart, feeling extremely frustrated.
He would rather lose to someone else than to that idiot Wang Peng, who just loved to bind his feet in front of the boss!
"Hey? Brother Xin? Do you want to win?" Lin Anran quickened her pace, keeping up with the dejected Li Xin.
"Of course! But... well, let's forget it. I have to prioritize your lives."
As if he had made up his mind, Li Xin began to seriously kill zombies.
A group of people arrived at the central square, and a glimmer of light returned to Li Xin's eyes.
Lin Yu stared at the horde of zombies, his mouth agape in an "O" shape. "So many zombies! Has this place been ransacked by zombies?"
"Great! I still have a chance to surpass Wang Peng this time. Lin Yu, right? You take care of them, I'll handle things here!"
Li Xin strode forward, but before he could make a move, a zombie collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"Oops! What an accident! I was the one who killed the zombie!"
Wang Peng appeared out of nowhere, his eyes filled with determination.
"Sorry, Brother Xin, it's mine now!"
"You! I found it first!"
"So what! Whoever kills first gets to keep it!"
The two, not to be outdone, began hunting zombies.
Lin's mother yawned, "Are all kids these days so competitive?"
Jiang Rong pulled a handful from her pocket. "Who knows? Here, Wanwan, this smells amazing!"
"Wow! This brand of hand cream is really good."
From another team standing to the side, only one girl spoke up sarcastically, "Taking care of your skin at a time like this? How petty!"
The malice in her eyes was impossible to conceal; her jealousy was twisted into a knot.
"What's wrong? Little sister, are we doing skincare work next to you? How boring, always looking for trouble!"
"What did you say?" The woman's cheeks flushed red with anger; no one had ever dared to speak to her like that before!
"I'm telling you, you're meddling too much! You can't even understand what I'm saying, you should go back to school and start over!"
Jiang Rong's sharp tongue made the woman grit her teeth. "Hmph, I'm not going to argue with you. We're going to win this time. Luckily, we have you guys to carry us. It'll be a piece of cake."
Lin's mother looked up irritably, "You're so long-winded. Are you an old lady? It's just a few zombies. Why are you so nagging?"
With a wave of her hand, countless ice spikes shot towards the zombies.
All the zombies fell to the ground in perfect unison, and the two people who were locked in a fierce battle were stunned into silence.
It's strange that anyone would dare to steal their goods.
"Alright! That's all for now, let's move on to the next place!"
Lin's mother clapped her hands and spoke lazily.
"Which bastard stole my zombie!"
Wang Peng stormed over, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.
The woman who had just been provocative was too scared to speak. It seemed she had offended someone she shouldn't have, and it was best for her to remain silent.
"It's me!"
Lin's mother proudly raised her hand, "How about that? Aren't I amazing?"
"Stop talking big! You? That's a joke. You'd be lucky if you didn't drag us down!"
Wang Peng laughed so hard he almost fell over; he absolutely refused to believe what this woman was saying.
"Boss! Watch out!"
"Boss! There are zombies!"
A menacing zombie fell from the tree above and excitedly pounced on Wang Peng.
"Whoosh—"
Lin Ma casually tossed out another string of ice spikes, and the zombie's head fell right into Wang Peng's arms.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"
The horrifying screams startled Lin's mother.
"Shut up! You scared me! Wasn't that zombie already dead? You're such a jump scare!"
Wang Peng shook off the hot potato in his hand, his face turning bright red.
"Hahahaha! Wang Peng, is that all you've got? You're even afraid of dead zombies, and you still want to compete with me? Ridiculous! Don't embarrass yourself!"
