A heavy rain did not bring down the sweltering temperature; in fact, it rose even higher.
Even with the air conditioning on, the car couldn't stop the intense heat from the sun from spreading and expanding inside the cabin as it drove along the road.
Lin Dong was originally wearing a short-sleeved shirt when he went out today, but because he couldn't stand being drenched in sweat, he changed his clothes into a sleeveless vest!
After yesterday's sunny weather, the rainwater on the road outside had long since evaporated. If it weren't for the piles of garbage on the road that had been washed together by the water, there would be no trace of the downpour.
A yellow bag of potato chips was covered in mud, and a sneaker, so dirty that its original color was no longer discernible, was standing on it.
The feet belonged to a female zombie. Her stomach had been ripped open by something, and it was clear that she had been pregnant before, but now her stomach was empty. Her long intestines, which had become shriveled, were resting on her feet. As she continued to walk, the shriveled and inactive intestines were worn down into thin strands.
At that moment, a convoy of five vehicles sped by. The pregnant zombie heard the sound, turned around, and the instant she saw the convoy, she roared and lunged at the lead vehicle!
But in an instant, he was violently thrown by the car's powerful impact and crashed heavily into the canopy of a mutated giant tree twenty meters away!
Inside the lead car, Lu Yu and Su Li sat in the driver's seat and passenger seat, respectively, and had a clear view of what had just happened.
Although the zombie was knocked away, the impact was considerable, and the windshield of the car was already cracked.
"At that force, if it were an ordinary person, their bones would either break or crack, rendering them unable to move, right?"
Su Li turned her gaze away from the rearview mirror, leaned back in her seat, and spoke.
She stroked the black cat that was lying on her lap, and feeling Lu Yu's gaze on her, she continued, "But that zombie that just fell into the tree canopy has already climbed out and seems to be able to stand up!"
Hearing Su Li's words, Lu Yu, who was focused on driving, darkened his eyes. After a two-second silence, he said softly, "The speed of evolution is a bit too fast."
Su Li listened without saying a word.
Nowadays, traffic rules are practically nonexistent when vehicles are on the road. A little over ten minutes later, the convoy arrived at the selected food processing plant.
But they didn't rush in. Lu Yu and Su Li's car led the way, circling the food processing plant to get a general idea of the factory's condition.
Like the cooked food factory that Su Li and the others had visited before, this factory also had quite a few workers working the night shift when the zombie virus broke out.
By this time, a considerable amount of time had passed since the outbreak of the zombie virus. The zombies that had been gathered in the production workshop had all run outside, and a large portion of them had even made their way onto the streets.
This food factory is larger than the previous cooked food factory, and naturally has more employees.
Fortunately, one of Lu Yu's team members already knew that the factory's employee dormitory was not located within the factory itself, but rather in an old factory area separated by two other factory areas and a road.
In that case, the number of zombies won't be too outrageous!
The convoy drove around the factory at a moderate speed. Because of the noise from the cars, the zombies chasing behind were starting to form a convoy, and there seemed to be about a hundred of them.
But now, for Su Li and his group, these hundred or so zombies are no longer a threat!
After circling the factory once, the convoy finally slowed down in front of the food factory gate.
The first two vehicles eventually stopped outside the gate, while the two vans and one RV behind drove directly into the gate and stopped a short distance away.
The sound of the car, accompanied by the howling of the zombies during the chase, finally attracted the zombies deep inside the factory area. For a moment, the roars of "Hehe...!" became even more deafening.
Bai Feng jumped out of the car, turned around to look at the horde of corpses chasing after him, and exclaimed in an exaggerated tone, "My god, this is getting interesting!"
His response was a sudden burst of sparks and lightning from above his head, a rain of various supernatural beings, steel blades mixed with ice swords!
The series of lightning balls, crackling and sparking, flew past his ear, startling Bai Feng so much that the hairs on his body stood on end!
He jumped up and down, hopping in two steps to Lu Yu's side, his face contorted in despair: "No! Captain, you had to say something before we started fighting! If this hits me, all our team's supplies will be gone!!"
However, while saying this, he deftly pulled out a spiked club, which had been modified from a steel pipe by a metal ability user, from the backpack behind him!
Su Li was separated from her own team of five at this time. She was currently standing outside the factory gate with nine people, including Lu Yu, clearing out zombies.
Meanwhile, Qi Zhilin and his four companions, along with others, cleared out the zombies inside the factory area from the gate.
This division of labor between the two sides allows for faster progress and also prevents everyone from being surrounded by the horde of zombies!
Xuan Qing was with Su Li. He didn't help kill the zombies, but just followed closely at Su Li's feet. Only when he felt that a zombie might threaten Su Li's safety did he take action.
The girl next to him has been intentionally training her superpowers and physical abilities. If he helps her, it will only reduce her opportunities to train!
As for whether Lu Yu and his group would discover his special abilities, that was no longer a concern.
At least Lu Yu wasn't stupid. The two teams needed to travel together on the way to Tongcheng. With the five senses of superhumans becoming more sensitive as their abilities level up, it wouldn't be easy to hide Xuan Qing's special abilities.
Neither Su Li nor anyone else wanted to be overly cautious about their words and actions while on a dangerous road.
Therefore, after the two teams met again, Su Li had no intention of hiding Xuan Qing's special nature.
As a result, Lu Yu naturally learned about Xuan Qing's abilities while they were in the car.
However, Su Li still somewhat misinterpreted Xuan Qing's identity: "He should be an animal that is positively evolving, just like the superhumans. In short, Xuan Qing is also our teammate!"
Upon hearing Su Li's explanation, Lu Yu frowned for only ten seconds before quickly nodding and parting his pale lips slightly: "I understand!"
He didn't care about these things. The environment in which humans live is already very difficult. If the evolution of animals can help humans survive better in some way, it is not a bad thing.
It's a pity that so far he has only seen Xuanqing, an animal that is evolving in the positive direction!
