Chapter 206 A Hymn to Destruction
Around 11:30 a.m., Han Shuo stretched and got out of bed.
"Ah, waking up naturally is definitely the most comfortable!"
He quickly woke up the fat man and the others, and then the five of them gathered together for lunch.
After getting a good night's sleep and having a full meal, he went downstairs and found Cheng Shenghong.
"Brother Yao Nan, have your men pack their bags, we're about to set off."
Upon hearing that they were finally about to set off, Cheng Shenghong's face lit up with joy.
Unlike Han Shuo and the others, he didn't sleep at all during those two hours.
"Okay, I'll go get help!"
After he finished speaking, he quickly ran upstairs.
Five minutes later, everyone had finished cleaning up.
Han Shuo had three cars, and Cheng Shenghong also had three cars, making a convoy of six cars that headed towards the underground research institute.
This time, they stayed outside for about 20 days in total.
If all goes well, it should take about three days to reach the underground research institute.
Han Shuo drove the armored vehicle at the front, unconsciously slowing down his speed.
The speed remained stable at around 60 mph.
He did this to avoid encountering Wang Bahu and his gang again.
After all, the other party had only recently escaped. If they drove too fast, and if everyone was a little unlucky, there was actually a very slight chance that they could catch up with them.
Although the probability of this is extremely low, and there is more than one route back to the underground research institute, Han Shuo still needs to be careful.
...
The fat man was too lazy to drive anymore. He usually drove most of the time, and he felt like he was about to throw up from driving.
And so, they squeezed into Han Shuo's car to slack off.
The armored vehicle was spacious inside. The fat man moved the passenger seat to the very back, crossed his legs, and leisurely ate sunflower seeds.
"Where did you get these sunflower seeds? Don't throw the shells in the car."
Han Shuo glanced at him as he drove.
"I know, I know. The melon seeds were given to me by that sniper called Lao Wu under Yao Nan."
"Stop asking others for things. Yao Nan and his gang are much poorer than us."
Han Shuo shook his head, somewhat speechless. He knew without even thinking that the fat man must have asked for it from the other person.
"Oh dear, it's just a snack, something to pass the time."
As soon as the fat man finished speaking, he smiled and pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, waving it triumphantly in front of Han Shuo.
"Holy crap, where did you steal this? Give me one right now!"
Han Shuo's eyes widened when he saw the box of cigarettes. If he remembered correctly, cigarettes had been out of stock in their group for more than a month.
Hehehe!
The fat man chuckled as he unpacked the cigarettes.
"It was given to me by the fifth brother!"
"Wow, does Fifth Brother have a magic bag? How come he has everything?"
After Han Shuo finished speaking, he added a sentence seriously from the end.
"Hmm, cigarettes are fine with me..."
Soon, the fat man lit two cigarettes and handed one to Han Shuo.
Han Shuo took a big sip; it had been so long since he'd smoked that it made him dizzy, and while coughing, he couldn't help but offer a compliment.
"Cough, cough, for us old smokers, it's really great to still be able to smoke!"
"Hey, hey, hey? Hold the steering wheel tighter, you almost veered into the ditch."
The fat man hurriedly called out from the side.
"Haha, I'm dizzy. By the way, Fatty, do you think I'm driving under the influence right now?"
"So what if I'm drunk driving? Anyway, there aren't any police officers managing traffic anymore."
And so, their laughter echoed continuously inside the car...
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the group was getting closer and closer to the underground research institute...
During their journey, they encountered a horde of zombies, and Han Shuo drove the armored vehicle to find a weak point.
He charged ahead and crashed through a gap, allowing everyone to escape safely.
Han Shuo did not encounter any aliens or other survivors.
After all, different species are relatively rare, so it's normal not to encounter them.
To his surprise, after driving for two days, he didn't see a single survivor on the road.
Keep in mind that the group had crossed half the territory of a country along the way.
This is not a good thing; it means that:
There are fewer and fewer living people outside.
...
That noon, Han Shuo, as usual, found a relatively safe place to park his car.
"Alright, everyone, let's eat something and rest here for a bit."
At this moment, Cheng Shenghong walked over from behind.
He smiled and said, "Brother Han, how much longer until we reach the underground research institute?"
"What's wrong? Are you in a hurry? Haha, don't worry, if nothing unexpected happens, we'll arrive before this evening."
As Han Shuo spoke, he looked into the distance.
Over there, Fatty went to find Fifth Brother again...
Don't let his past as a homebody fool you; when he gets out of control, even his social butterfly syndrome can't stop him.
In just a few days, the fat man became very familiar with Cheng Shenghong's men.
Especially the fifth brother, who was robbed by the fat man every few days.
The fifth brother might have a collecting habit; he has a small box filled with all sorts of random little things.
Food, household items, toys... they're everywhere.
Sure enough, a short while later, Han Shuo saw the fat man running back with a smug look on his face.
He was crumpling two ornamental walnuts in his hands.
The fifth brother, like a wronged young wife, looked at the fat man's figure with resentment.
Sudden!
Han Shuo felt the ground beneath his feet tremble violently.
Then, he froze on the spot. Not only him, but everyone present froze on the spot, staring blankly at the distant southeast direction.
There, a patch of fire appeared on the horizon!
The firelight dyed half the sky red, and a thin red line instantly bloomed in the sky, which was extremely beautiful and dazzling!
At this moment, even the sun seemed to pale in comparison to this red line.
Han Shuo involuntarily raised his arm to shield his eyes.
Soon, the red line on the horizon shrank to a single red dot, and the firelight gradually dimmed.
Then, a huge mushroom cloud rose up from below.
A mushroom cloud shot straight into the sky!
The first nuclear bomb after the catastrophe... exploded!
The explosion site was thousands of miles away from where Han Shuo was at that moment.
But his heart was still pounding.
That's terrifying! Absolutely terrifying!
Han Shuo had never witnessed a nuclear explosion before, but today, though separated by thousands of miles, he felt as if he were experiencing it himself.
This shocking scene left everyone who witnessed it feeling breathless.
After an unknown amount of time, the sky returned to its previous color, but the huge mushroom cloud still did not dissipate.
Han Shuo stared in disbelief, muttering something under his breath.
"A small country in the southeast has probably been completely destroyed..."
He did not expect that, after only half a year of zombies appearing, some countries would be unable to hold on.
He felt it during the explosion:
A country is at its wit's end...
A nation would rather perish than have all its territory invaded by zombies.
This explosion is an ode to the destruction of this country!
