Chapter 495 Fiery Clouds?
Meanwhile, Han Shuo and his group had not given up searching for Cheng Shenghong.
On this day, the group sat wearily on a mountaintop, gazing at their surroundings.
They checked the figures below one by one with binoculars, but as usual, the search ended in vain...
Sigh~
Han Shuo sighed, waved to the fat man and the others, and spoke.
"There's nothing here either, everyone come and have something to eat first."
"good."
"Um……"
...
The listlessness in everyone's voices revealed how exhausted they had all been after nearly a month of searching.
However, no one uttered a single complaint. They simply sat together, quietly eating their food.
At that moment, two figures slid rapidly toward this side from a distance.
Han Shuo quickly stood up and went forward to greet him.
They had silver hair and blonde hair, and the two retracted their hang gliders and landed smoothly on the mountaintop.
The reconnaissance drones they brought from the base had long since run out of power.
After losing their aerial reconnaissance tools, they used themselves as drones.
Among everyone, only the two of them knew how to use hang gliders, and only the two of them could fly in the air without being attacked by the swarm of zombie birds.
For the next two weeks, the silver-haired and blonde-haired individuals flew through the sky almost every day to investigate, a gesture that deeply moved Han Shuo and the others.
They could tell that the silver-haired siblings genuinely cared for them and were doing their utmost to help them find Cheng Shenghong.
...
Han Shuo nodded to the two of them and asked anxiously.
"Silver hair, blonde hair, thank you for your hard work. How was it? Did you get anything?"
The blonde man kept his head down and didn't say a word, while the silver-haired man shook his head with regret.
Clearly, the result was not optimistic...
Sigh~
Han Shuo sighed and forced a smile from the corner of his mouth.
"It's alright, thank you."
The silver-haired man patted him on the shoulder in comfort, thought for a moment, and then spoke.
"My friends, I'm sorry, we two may no longer be able to help you continue the search. We must return to base."
Han Shuo immediately realized what was happening.
Yes, without realizing it, the silver-haired brother and sister have been out with them for almost a month.
The two were about to have their outdoor activity time expire, and they needed to go back and change their energy fluids.
He quickly replied.
"Alright, Silver-haired Brother, you've all worked so hard these past few days. You should head back now."
"Um."
The silver-haired man nodded, wasting no more time, and turned to walk towards the edge of the cliff with the blonde man by his side.
Just as he was about to jump off the cliff, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and with a complex look in his eyes, uttered a farewell.
"Friends, take care on your journey. You should all... head back as soon as possible."
"Yes! Brother Silver Hair, I understand. Take care on your journey!"
As the sound faded, the two jumped off the cliff and reopened their hang gliders.
...
After watching the silver-haired and blonde-haired figures disappear into the distance, Han Shuo turned around and deliberately put on a spirited expression.
He clapped his hands and walked in front of the crowd.
"Keep it up, everyone! Let's go, let's continue our search in the West!"
"Okay, Brother Han!"
"No problem, no problem at all!"
"Captain Han... thank you..."
"Hey, Fifth Brother, why are you being so effeminate? We're brothers, don't use that word."
...
And just like that, several days passed in the blink of an eye.
However, it seemed that everyone's luck had run out, and they still couldn't find Cheng Shenghong. Incidentally, they also faced the biggest crisis they had encountered in the past month!
...
The sky was incredibly gloomy that day, and by three or four in the afternoon, half the sky had completely darkened.
This was the prelude to an impending downpour. Han Shuo looked at the increasingly dark sky and quickly directed everyone to begin their return journey.
"Let's go! We're not looking anymore today. Everyone get back to the car right away. We need to find somewhere to take shelter from the rain!"
"good……"
The group immediately turned around and quickly returned the way they came.
At this moment, the fat man behind suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Wow! Look! A huge patch of fiery clouds has appeared in the west, it's so beautiful!"
"Fatty, stop messing around. It's a cloudy day, how could there be a fiery sunset?"
Xiao Zhao responded without turning his head, feeling that the fat man was joking.
"Hurry up, stop talking nonsense, let's go, or we'll all get soaked."
Han Shuo also shouted speechlessly and instinctively turned around to look.
That one glance made him stop in his tracks and stare wide-eyed.
"My God, Fatty wasn't lying, there really were fiery clouds at sunset."
He also muttered a surprised comment to himself. After he finished speaking, Xiao Zhao and the others stopped and turned to look at the strange sight in the distance.
...
Han Shuo watched for a while and quickly noticed that something was amiss.
Because that fiery cloud was moving rapidly eastward. Logically speaking, even with wind blowing, it shouldn't be moving so fast!
A few seconds later, as the "fire cloud" drew ever closer to them, Han Shuo finally saw what it really was!
"Fuck you!"
Not only him, but the fat man also saw it clearly. He suddenly cursed and started running forward at top speed.
This isn't a sunset cloud at all; it's clearly a huge flock of zombie birds. It's just that their sheer number makes their countless, densely packed red eyes appear as a sunset cloud, creating a visual illusion...
The next moment, goosebumps rose on Han Shuo and the others' skin, and everyone quickly turned around and ran faster than rabbits.
"Run!"
...
The crisis came suddenly and quickly!
Han Shuo quickly overtook the fat man in front of him, and he kept running while shouting back.
"Quick! Everyone get back to the car immediately!"
The flock of corpse-like birds on the horizon had clearly spotted them as well, and they flew in an arc through the air, heading straight towards them.
Han Shuo couldn't imagine what would happen if everyone were exposed to this flock of birds like this!
The only way to escape this enormous crisis is to quickly get back to the car and drive to a closed building.
...
At this moment, everyone in the team is a genetically engineered human, and their running speed far exceeds that of ordinary people.
Fortunately, they didn't park the truck too far away, and soon they arrived at their respective vehicles.
Insert the key, start the engine, shift gears, and step on the gas.
The driver acted swiftly and started the truck immediately.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
With the roar of the engine, Han Shuo shouted a message into the communicator.
"Walk!"
As the sound faded, trucks drove off one after another into the distance.
Han Shuo in the car was extremely anxious because he had noticed when he arrived that the place was in the wilderness and there were no good buildings nearby for them to hide in.
The flock of corpse birds behind them was about to arrive, and the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for them.
Run! Run! Run... Run, you can only run!
A minute later, there was a loud "smack!"
The first corpse bird crashed into the car window, and everyone's hearts sank.
The flock of zombie birds has arrived; the crisis has officially begun!
