Chapter 454 Departure and Arrival
The night before departure, everyone made a quick selection of who would be going out.
In the end, four people were chosen: Han Shuo, Fatty, Xiao Zhao, and Cheng Shenghong.
The four of them were arguably the most skilled members of the team. As for the rest of the group, they remained in their original positions, staying at the silver-haired man's base.
After all, the main objective of this operation is to hunt down alien species, with searching for fuel as a secondary objective. Sending too many people will only slow down the progress; one vehicle and four people are sufficient.
...
At this moment, Han Shuo still had 24 drops of turbid liquid in his hand.
He directly used 16 drops to evolve the fat man from level 3 to level 4, which will maximize everyone's overall combat power when going out.
As for Xiao Zhao, his next evolution will need to be delayed.
Although giving him the 16 drops of the turbid liquid would make him stronger than the fat man, since his primary role is as a sniper, he won't need to engage in close combat most of the time. Therefore, this time, the fat man will be given priority...
Cheng Shenghong had 17 drops of turbid fluid left, and he didn't hold back. He took out 12 drops and injected them twice in a row, raising him directly from level 1 to level 3.
No accidents occurred during this period.
There are four people: one level 5, one level 4, and two genetically evolved level 3 humans.
Such comprehensive strength is already extremely formidable.
They all believed that this trip should proceed without any major mishaps.
And so, before going to bed, Han Shuo packed the items they would need for their trip.
He brought enough food for four people for a week, as well as some simple bandages and hemostatic medicine.
The rest are bio-grenades, ammunition, all sorts of weapons, and some auxiliary tools that might be needed along the way...
After making sure he hadn't missed anything, he drifted off to sleep soundly...
...
The next day, a brand-new, sleek sedan, the latest model before the disaster, drove out of the valley carrying four people.
This car naturally belongs to the Silver Hair Base.
By this time, Han Shuo had learned that these cyborgs would not use cars as a means of transportation even when they went out on a regular basis.
They have their own unique gliders; they can simply find a mountain peak, climb to the top, and perform a leap of faith.
How fast it flies in the air...
However, this mode of transportation is only suitable for them, the cyborgs. After all, the zombie birds in the air will not attack them. For humans, it would be a death wish.
...
On the way, Han Shuo unfolded the map that the silver-haired man had given him and examined it carefully.
Above, there are several red dots and several green dots marked.
The red dots indicate areas where corpse-wearing people might exist, and people should try to avoid these areas.
As for the green dots, they are the organization of other survivors that the silver-haired man discovered some time ago.
This was a mark that Han Shuo had specifically asked the silver-haired man to mark for him, because he also planned to do a simple investigation into the situation of these living organizations during this trip of the four of them.
He felt that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Qingyu should have already arrived in the country.
In his heart, he always kept his older brother in his thoughts.
Although there was some unpleasantness between the two sides during their last parting, Han Shuo knew that it had little to do with Qing Yu.
Their relationship remained unchanged.
The matter of the Corpse-Wearing Man is currently known only to the Silver Hair in this country.
He wanted to check whether Qingyu's main force would pass by the location of the green dot.
If the two sides happen to meet again, Han Shuo hopes to pass on a message to Qing Yu, telling his older brother to be careful of such evil organizations from abroad.
That way, he'll feel more at ease...
Of course, this matter is relatively minor. It would be great if the two could meet, but if they couldn't, Han Shuo wouldn't deliberately waste time searching for them.
This time, their main objective was still to collect the turbid liquid.
And so, the four men in the car began their hunt for the alien species!
...
Meanwhile, somewhere in this country.
A dirty figure appeared on the outskirts of a large camp.
This person was Qin Hongling. She had long since shed her disguise and returned to her original self.
Since she found a chance to break away from Qingyu's main force last time, she has been traveling west to this place.
Because she was all alone, her journey was not easy, and she even faced the brink of death several times. Fortunately, she did not encounter any alien species and eventually made it here alive.
She had been lurking outside the camp for a full day and night.
This organization was based in a large stadium, and there were nearly 10,000 survivors among them.
This wasn't the first survivor organization Qin Hongling had encountered along the way, but it was the largest one she had ever met.
Through her observation, it was easy to see that this organization was quite powerful; otherwise, after two years, there wouldn't still be so many people still alive here.
The next moment, she no longer hesitated, stepped out of the shadows, and went straight to the entrance gate of the stadium.
...
"Who goes there!"
The fully armed guards at the gate immediately raised their guns the moment they saw Qin Hongling.
However, Qin Hongling clearly couldn't understand their language very well.
Even with several gun barrels pointed at her, she remained calm and stood in front of them, shouting loudly.
"Get your boss out here!"
As the voice faded, the people in front of them looked puzzled; they, too, couldn't understand the language of the one-eyed woman in front of them.
Qin Hongling frowned, thought for a moment, and racked her brains to piece together an English sentence.
"I, want, see, you, boss!"
Her sentence was clearly problematic in terms of pronunciation and grammar, but several people still managed to understand its general meaning.
"Hmm? You want to see our boss?"
One of the leading men thought to himself and began to carefully examine the woman in front of him.
Then, he waved his hand behind him and sent one of his men inside to deliver a message.
Two years ago, if a survivor suddenly appeared and wanted to see their leader, the man would have completely ignored him.
But at this moment, the situation has become completely different.
Because after the nuclear radiation, very few humans are still alive outside.
They were lucky; when someone in the team was found to have been exposed to radiation and their body began to fester, they quickly found a closed shelter.
At that time, most of the people died, but quite a few are still alive today.
They had only recently moved here.
Under these circumstances, Qin Hongling's appearance alone in the wild is clearly an extremely abnormal phenomenon.
Men are also quite curious about this, especially since the other person is a foreigner.
That's why he agreed to Qin Hongling's request and quickly dispatched his subordinates to inform his boss of the message.
