This was the first time Chen Yan officially entered the core ruins of the city to explore.
When he was searching for parts before, he was only doing peripheral OB on the outskirts of the core area. The dangers he encountered were quite limited, and it could even be said that he did not encounter any real danger.
It generally feels like the novice village in the game. Its only function is to allow him to quickly familiarize himself with the living environment of the wasteland and some basic rules of survival.
But today's outing is completely different!
The process of going there was not too difficult. With the help of drones, the group successfully avoided several zombie gathering points on the road.
There were no truly dangerous challenges encountered inside the power station.
More than five hundred mutated blister beetles were basically within the tolerable range. The only one that exceeded their ability to cope with was the Silent Whisperer, which had no legs and could not move at all.
It looks intimidating, but in fact, unless they enter the attack range of the Silent Whisperer, the Silent Whisperer will have no way to deal with them.
However, the return journey was really difficult.
The violent roar that obviously came from a terrifying existence seemed to have completely awakened the core ruins of Qin Island.
On the way back, the group of five had to be extremely careful with every step they took, and tried to avoid any zombies and mutant creatures they encountered if possible.
If it is really impossible to avoid, try to kill it without making any noise!
Because after that roar, the density of zombies and mutant creatures around increased dramatically. If you are not careful, it is very likely that all the nearby zombies and mutant creatures will be attracted because of the loud noise.
In this situation, the five members of the team were always highly tense and focused, and no one dared to be careless even in the slightest!
The resulting consumption was naturally far greater than the normal state, so when he finally returned to the villa area safely, before even walking back to Fei Changyuan's villa, Chen Yan sat down on the ground and began to breathe heavily.
God knows how torturous it was for him to not even dare to breathe hard for the past seven hours.
At this moment, I was finally able to relax, and sweat immediately broke out on my back.
Even though he was already a level three awakener, Chen Yan still felt that he was almost overdrawn to the point of collapse.
The others were not much better off than him. Only Xu Qinghe was still barely able to keep standing, while Qin Yourong and the siblings Yao Shan and Yao Yun also fell down and sat down beside Chen Yan.
"This is terrifying! There are so many zombies and mutants on our way to the power station! We didn't even notice them before. It's incredible..."
After taking a few breaths, Chen Yan said with a lingering fear.
Xu Qinghe was also terrified and said, "Zombies are not perpetual motion machines. Although they consume very little energy, many zombies, when they don't find a clear target, will not wander aimlessly. Instead, they will find a dark and damp place nearby to lie down, as if they are in suspended animation.
Zombies in this state are like hibernating. Those that prefer to wander are often guided by more powerful zombies. As for the mutants, it's clear that some of the nocturnal mutants have been disturbed and are now out.
Chen Yan frowned and said, "Brother Xu, that sound couldn't have come from a level five zombie or mutant, right? The place we just returned to is at least ten kilometers away from the coast. Just a roar startled the zombies and mutants from such a distance. They all seemed to be on stimulants. How could a level five zombie have such power?"
Xu Qinghe pondered, "It could be level six, but it's unlikely to be level seven. Level seven zombies or mutants are extremely rare. At least, although Mr. Fei has been keeping an eye on the situation in the core area of Qin Island for many years, he has never found any signs of level seven activity there.
According to Elder Fei's estimation, level six should be the peak of power within Qindao's core area. However, we need to ask Elder Fei first to confirm the specifics. Let's go, there are only two steps left. We must immediately confirm with Elder Fei whether the situation along the coastal line has shown any signs of deterioration!

…
"I hope not, otherwise we won't be able to rest well tonight."
In the abandoned kindergarten building not far from the villa area, a burly man said with a gloomy face while carefully checking the empty rooms on his floor.
The other two men and the burly man formed a triangle, carefully paying attention to all movements around them.
The three of them are the three directors of Blackthorn Company.
Following Qiu Huidong's orders, the three men made some preparations last night and left the camp early this morning, heading south to try to find the specific hiding place of the target person.
"Just looking at how abandoned this building is, the chances of zombies or mutants lurking here are slim. Furthermore, the sudden roar this morning provoked all the zombies and mutants out of their dark corners. Even if there were mutants or zombies hiding here before, there shouldn't be any tonight."
The most handsome man among the three spoke.
While they were talking, the three of them had already checked the entire floor.
After confirming that it was completely safe and there were no dangerous species lurking, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
They picked the largest room from all the rooms on the first floor, emptied the room and closed the door. Then the three of them stretched their muscles and sat down against the wall.
After being tense for most of the day, they can finally take a real break. The three people's tense nerves relaxed a little, and for a moment they all felt unspeakable fatigue.
There was no way, they were really scared for the past seven hours.
According to the original plan, they should reach the place where Vulture Li Hao and others died as quickly as possible, and then quickly disperse with the place where Li Hao and others were killed as the center to look for possible traces of human activities.
But unexpectedly, the plan did not change quickly enough. They did not even have time to reach the place where Li Hao and others were killed. A roar like muffled thunder came from far away in the south.
Immediately afterwards, the zombies and mutant creatures seemed to go crazy and became extremely active, causing the three of them to be trapped halfway.
Initially, they estimated that the journey would only take two or three hours, but due to this sudden change, it took them a whole day.
It wasn't until nightfall that they finally arrived at the place where Li Hao and the others died...
