After a while, Qin Yourong brought the others to the basement.
Not counting Qin Yourong, there are seven people in total.
Faced with the sudden appearance of Chen Yan, the seven of them were very curious.
Qin Yourong introduced the seven people to Chen Yan one by one.
Yao Shan and Yao Yun are a pair of siblings. The brother is 28 years old and the sister is 22 years old.
Gu Yuze and Cong Jing are a couple, the man is 35 years old and the woman is 33 years old.
Xu Qinghe, male, 40 years old, is the strongest fighter in the small group. He is currently a third-level awakener and the only one in the small group who has the ability to go south to the edge of the city center to search for supplies.
Bai Han, female, 26 years old, is the housekeeper of the small group. She has an amazing talent for management. All the materials obtained by the small group are managed and distributed by her.
Maomao, a boy, eleven years old, is the only child in the small group and is taken care of by several people. However, his identity as a child can sometimes have unexpected effects on some things.
The most important thing is that there are eight of them, including Qin Yourong, and they were all raised by Mr. Fei since childhood!
Including the oldest one, Xu Qinghe, who was born ten years after the catastrophe.
If it weren't for Mr. Fei's adoption, it is estimated that none of the children, from the oldest Xu Qinghe to the youngest Maomao, would have survived.
This is the fundamental reason why small groups have absolute trust in each other and have extremely deep feelings!
"Okay, everyone's here. Let me briefly explain. Chen Yan, um... lives with Rongrong and has temporarily joined our group. The reason I called everyone here suddenly is because I have a very important discovery."
The old man clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention to himself, and then pointed to the virtual screen showing the map of Qindao City.
He continued, "As you know, in order to live a relatively stable life, we decided to take a risk and all of us stayed in the outskirts of the city's core area. Few survivors would take the initiative to run here, so we haven't been harassed much over the years.
But being so close to the city's core area means we're actually living among a large number of zombies and mutant creatures. For safety reasons, I can only monitor the core area at all times to ensure that if the situation there changes, we can be aware of it immediately."
Having said that, the old man shook the sensor in his hand.
Soon everyone saw that the scarlet color covered the entire core area of Qin Island!
"This is a rough distribution map of zombies and mutants. The varying shades of color show the density of zombies and mutants in each area."
Chen Yan was slightly stunned, and subconsciously raised his hand and said, "Grandpa Fei, are there any differences in the depth of the color? They all look dark red to me."
The old man nodded and said, "That's right. Because the core area is filled with zombies and mutants, the density is extremely high, so all places in the core area are the same density and color. Before the catastrophe, the core area of Qindao City was divided into four central urban areas.
We currently live at the northern boundary of the four central urban areas. Within the central urban areas, the density of zombies and mutants varies little from place to place. As for my important discovery, it actually has something to do with this distribution map. See..."
As he spoke, the old man shook the sensor in his hand again.
The map of Qindao City's main urban area on the virtual screen was originally covered with scarlet color, but gradually, the dark blue color began to slowly invade the southernmost coastal line close to the sea!
Even though it was just the contact between scarlet and dark blue, Chen Yan still realized something when he saw the entanglement between the two colors!
At this time, the old man's voice sounded again.
"As you can see, red represents zombies and mutants on land, while blue represents mutants in the ocean. In the past fifty years, there has been no case of mutants from the ocean invading the land, as if land and sea have become two separate worlds, each without interfering with the other.
However, just six months ago, I first noticed a change in this situation. On the southernmost coastline of Qindao City, mutated creatures living in the ocean began attempting to land! And this situation was showing signs of becoming uncontrollable.
After six months of development, more and more mutant creatures have been trying to invade the land from the ocean, even posing a huge threat to the zombies and mutant creatures roaming along the coast, and squeezing their living space! If this continues, it won’t be long, I’m afraid…”
The old man didn't finish his words.
But everyone in the room could understand what the old man wanted to express.
Qin Yourong frowned and said, "Grandpa Fei, are you saying that due to the influence of those mutant creatures that escaped from the ocean, the zombies and mutant creatures in the southern core city area are likely to be forced to move northward?"
The old man shook his head and said, "It's not very likely, but it will definitely happen! The topography of Qindao City is completely different from other cities. The core urban area is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the east, west and north are completely surrounded by the sea. This means that once the zombies and mutants crowded in the core urban area are squeezed out of their living space by the mutants in the ocean, they will have nowhere to go. They can't scatter and can only run north!
That's millions of zombies and mutants! Qindao City's unique terrain will cause these zombies and mutants to be completely crowded together! They're all running in the same direction, so what will they eventually form? A zombie tide! A zombie tide of millions of zombies and mutants is enough to destroy everything in its path! Even the five top forces would be unable to withstand a zombie tide of this magnitude!
"hiss……"
Suddenly, there was a sound of people sucking in their breaths of cold air in the basement.
The people in the small group couldn't help but look at each other, obviously frightened by the news.
Chen Yan was the most calm, unaffected by the situation. He calmly asked, "Grandpa Fei, do you have a rough estimate? In your opinion, when will the zombie tidal wave break out?"
The old man sighed and said, "It's hard to say. The core urban area is like a huge powder keg right now, ready to explode at any moment. The zombies and mutant creatures roaming along the coast have already begun to move north."
The change in their activity area will trigger a series of chain reactions. Based on existing data and analysis of the extent of the invasion of marine mutants over the past six months, we estimate... at most another two months!"
