Unlike the sudden outbreak of extreme cold last time, this zombie invasion was almost straightforward.
Everyone knows the zombies are coming, but no one knows what to do about them.
The Federation set up roadblocks on the zombies' usual routes, hoping to stop them or send them in other directions, but to no avail.
Some surviving elderly people kept praying, hoping that the zombies would leave City A, or that the zombies would become less deadly, but of course, all of this was in vain.
The zombies are inevitably getting closer and closer to City A.
"According to our reporter's report, the first batch of infected people is expected to arrive within 24 hours. We hope everyone will keep their doors and windows closed and try not to go out."
Close the doors and windows, and you'll be able to avoid zombies? If only it were that simple!
Despite this, 99 percent of people stayed at home, armed with various cold weapons and on high alert.
Since most people dare not go out, this presents an opportunity for Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen.
They already had enough food and supplies, but they were short of fuel.
Since the space was already limited, the obvious choice between food and fuel was to prioritize stockpiling food.
Now that the space has been upgraded, it's a good opportunity to make good use of it.
The extreme cold will continue for at least another ten years, and both large machinery and generators will need to use fuel.
Coal and timber are also scarce resources. The shelter consumes a considerable amount of coal and timber every day, and these will be in high demand once the extreme cold subsides.
There happens to be a large timber factory nearby, which was previously occupied by the Anshi Group. Now it's a good time to go and do some free purchases.
The oil depot is a bit far, but it shouldn't be a problem to get there by helicopter.
The coal depot is conveniently located not far from the oil depot, so we can take it all in one go.
Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen discussed their plan to purchase items for free.
"It would be best if the two of us went alone this time, leaving Brother Longfei and the others behind! I'm worried that Xinyuan Group might take the opportunity to attack!" Ye Ning suggested.
"Alright!" Xiao Jingchen nodded. His superpowers had improved rapidly during this period, so protecting Ye Ning shouldn't be a problem.
“But…” Xiao Jingchen drew a circle around the location of the lumber mill.
“This place is now close to a zombie outbreak zone, and there’s a possibility of direct contact with zombies!” Xiao Jingchen knew that Ye Ning was afraid of zombies.
In their previous life, when the zombie outbreak occurred, they were hiding in a factory. If they hadn't been quick enough to close the warehouse door in time, they would have been turned into mincemeat.
That night, the zombies kept knocking on the door all night long.
"It shouldn't be a big problem. This place isn't a route that zombies would definitely take. Even if there are any, there shouldn't be many," Ye Ning said with a relaxed expression.
"But I'm still worried about you!" Xiao Jingchen put his arm around Ye Ning's waist.
“Jingchen, you…” Ye Ning lowered her head, blushing slightly.
The atmosphere between the two suddenly became ambiguous.
Just then, Xiao Jingchen's satellite phone rang again.
Xiao Jingchen glanced at it and couldn't help but frown. Why call at this time!
He hesitated for a moment, but still answered the phone.
"Hey! What do you want? Didn't I tell you before not to bother us anymore?" Xiao Jingchen said coldly.
An aged voice rang out from the other end; it was Xiao Jingchen's grandfather, Xiao Zhengyan.
"Jingchen, I've heard things aren't very peaceful in City A right now! Why don't you come to Country H instead?"
"I know what I said last time has left you with a grudge. How about this? Bring Ye Ning along with you! I can temporarily refrain from interfering in your relationship!"
The implication is that we can refrain from intervening for the time being, but it's uncertain whether we will intervene in the long run!
As a patriarch who had spent his life making ruthless decisions, for Xiao Zhengyan to speak in such a consultative tone in front of a junior was already the limit!
"Jingchen, what do you think?" he added at the end.
"I don't think it's anything special!" Xiao Jingchen snorted coldly.
Does Xiao Zhengyan really think he's a three-year-old? Using this same old excuse in a different guise to coax him.
"Jingchen, I know you're offended by what I'm saying! But you also need to consider the situation in City A. Under these circumstances, coming to Country H is the best choice. You can also better protect the people you want to protect!"
"You don't need to worry about that! Even in City A, I can protect Ye Ning just the same!" Xiao Jingchen interrupted him directly.
"Jingchen, I know you're worried I won't accept her. I assure you, I will absolutely tolerate her, as long as she doesn't cause any trouble." Xiao Zhengyan's firm attitude conveyed his goodwill.
"What nonsense is that? No matter what Ye Ning does, I'll still love her. Even if she wanted to blow up the whole earth, I'd still be willing to plant the explosives for her!" Xiao Jingchen said protectively of his wife.
"Furthermore, the reason I'm not going to H country isn't for any other reason than that I have absolutely no interest in the Xiao family! I've never been a member of the Xiao family, not before, and I never will be!"
“But Grandpa is worried about you! There are millions of zombies! If…” Xiao Zhengyan said anxiously, feeling guilty towards his beloved son’s only bloodline.
"I will protect myself! I am not as weak as you think! I will not go to H country, and even if I do, I will not go back to the Xiao family. If there is nothing else, I will hang up now!" Xiao Jingchen hung up the phone without hesitation.
