Chapter 75



Xie Tianlang stood on the highest container, looking down at the young man lying on the ground, ignored by the zombies. He felt complicated, wanting to be angry but ultimately just smiled helplessly.

What could he do? The person who always danced in his heart was not a hothouse flower, but a proud and thorny rose. All he could do was walk with her through the storms and move forward side by side.

You can't just put it in a glass bottle because you like it. It won't shine; it will wither away prematurely.

Xie Tianlang took a couple of steps and then shook his head. Even the thorny rose couldn't describe his Yuanyuan; she was more like a cactus that loved being a father. She was perfectly capable of standing on her own.

Then he heard the girl below, Yuanyuan, who was pretending to be dead, pleading with him in a weak and pitiful voice:

"Don't just stand there and stand there! Quickly take a look at which containers are filled with soybeans, rice, or other food! I'll create a chance for you to leave in a bit. Let's work together well and try to collect enough supplies within half a day!"

Before Xie Tianlang could even think of how to create an opportunity for his Yuanyuan to leave, he saw the wealthy Yuanyuan, who had been lying on the ground pretending to be dead, suddenly jump up, turn around, and run away when none of the zombies had noticed him.

He was so fast that the group of zombies next to him didn't even have time to react. It wasn't until Gou Fugui had run several meters away and turned back to give the zombies the middle finger in an extremely provocative manner that the zombies howled and chased after him.

Even though Gou Fugui was activating the bloodline bonus of the fainting sheep, the mocking expression on his face was even more sinister than that of Zanghu Fugui.

So much so that the zombies chasing him seemed to be imbued with an invisible aura of mockery, each one pursuing him relentlessly and firmly.

Then Xie Tianlang saw that the densely packed zombies around the container had instantly decreased by 99%, leaving only a few slow-moving kittens.

Xie Tianlang: "..."

Alright, as expected, Yuanyuan created an excellent opportunity for him to take action.

Xie Tianlang didn't waste any time. His sharp, wolf-like eyes scanned the various colors and codes of the containers on the dock, finally landing on a white container marked as a refrigerated transport container.

These containers are filled with goods that require refrigerated transport. Although it has been almost a month since the apocalypse, if the containers have built-in electric refrigeration facilities, the refrigerated items inside can still be used.

If this doesn't work, that's okay too. To the west of these white refrigerated transport containers, there's a cluster of yellow containers labeled as food and grain. You can simply jump from the white containers to the yellow containers without any delay.

After identifying his target, Xie Tianlang relaxed his body and wrists slightly. The next second, he leaped off the top of the container he was standing on and rushed towards the white refrigerated containers like an arrow.

Xie Tianlang was extremely fast, yet he ran as silently as a cheetah. When he reached the cluster of white containers, there were almost no other zombies following behind him. He then jumped up and opened the door of the nearest white container. A slightly chilly aura rushed out, but it was also mixed with an undeniable stench.

Xie Tianlang's lips twitched.

If the container is opened improperly, most of the fish in this container will probably be inedible.

At this moment, the zombies around began to gather towards them due to the noise of the container doors opening. Xie Tianlang glanced around and continued to rapidly open the doors of several more white containers on all sides. Finally, after opening four broken container boxes in a row, he smelled a fresh, fishy odor...?

It is indeed fresh and odorless.

At this moment, a group of zombies had gathered and began attacking Xie Tianlang.

Xie Tianlang quickly dispatched four or five zombies, then used his hands to push himself up and jumped onto the container.

Although there were many zombies surrounding them, none of the super-mutated zombies had managed to climb onto the containers yet. So, after Xie Tianlang went up, he ignored the growing number of zombies and continued opening the white blind boxes.

Meanwhile, Yangyang Fugui, who had already tricked the zombies chasing him into turning back by playing dead, was also opening a container blind box.

He couldn't understand the numbers and colors on the containers, so he could only try his luck and force it open.

Then, Yangyang Fugui drove straight to a large container of luxury goods, including various bags, cosmetics, and perfumes.

Without hesitation, Yangyang Fugui pulled out a gorgeous and sturdy suitcase from the box, took three bottles of the most luxuriously packaged perfume, and then went to open the second large blind box.

What comes into view is a large box of ready-made cat and dog food printed with pictures of cats and dogs.

Oh, this.

As the saying goes, luck reflects character. Yangyang Fugui stroked his chin. With such good character, his luck would naturally be good as well.

Even if Xie Tianlang can't find grains and meat, he should be able to feed the animals with these cat and dog foods, right?

There are also many boxes of canned meat suitable for pets here!

Excited, Yangyang Fugui stood up and quickly opened the door of the container next to him, which had a similar number to the dog and cat food container. Sure enough, it also contained a container of pet food weighing over ten tons.

These two shipping containers alone were enough for Yangyang Fugui to feed his pet forest. He quickly dragged down two large bags of dog food to pack them into his suitcase, but then thought about it and gave up.

Transporting goods one trip at a time is too slow. We can just land the plane on top of these containers and then load them in bag by bag!

Remember the location of this bright yellow container.

Yangyang Fugui discovered that new zombies had surrounded him again. Without hesitation, he climbed onto the container, then lay down on the top layer of the container and pretended to be dead, waiting for the zombies to leave. At the same time, he opened his wristwatch to learn about the werewolves on the other side.

"Big Wolf! Big Wolf! Have you found any food over there? I found two containers here, maybe even more dog food and cat food! If you haven't found any, just fly the plane over here."

Xie Tianlang answered the phone the moment it rang, but his situation was far less peaceful than Fugui's—

A fast-moving zombie was relentlessly chasing and attacking him, while below him was an extremely tall zombie wielding a huge metal rod and constantly pounding on a shipping container.

These two zombies were clearly mutants among all zombies; one became faster and the other became stronger. Even Xie Tianlang had to be extremely careful when facing them.

However, his reply was quite relaxed: "Open a few more blind boxes over there and wait for me. I have more zombies here, I'll come find you after I kill a few."

“I found a box of frozen, unspoiled sea fish. Bringing it over should be enough to feed those predators.”

Gou Fugui initially believed Xie Tianlang's words, but a second before Xie Tianlang was about to hang up the phone, he heard the sharp roar of a zombie and the sound of metal clashing.

Even if Xie Tianlang had hung up the phone in time, he couldn't possibly have missed the roars of the zombies in the same port.

Gou Fugui's face darkened.

He quickly jumped up from the container and looked in the direction from which the zombie's roar came.

He quickly spotted the area with the densest concentration of zombies in the white containers, and Xie Tianlang standing on a container fighting a tall, thin zombie that was moving so fast that it was almost a blur.

Gou Fugui narrowed his eyes and quickly took out the modified submachine gun from his storage pocket. However, after aiming several times, he finally gave up attacking the extremely fast zombie fighting Xie Tianlang and instead fired two shots at the tall zombie wearing a helmet that looked like a safety helmet.

However, the results were not good.

His first shot missed, and the second shot grazed the tall zombie's helmet but failed to penetrate its defenses.

Instead, it attracted the attention of the tall zombie wearing a steel helmet.

The moment Yangyang Fugui met the eyes of that inorganic, towering zombie across the distance, his scalp tingled and he couldn't help but touch his fragile little heart.

Damn, that's ugly.

Baa, that's kind of scary!

But at this moment, it seemed he had nowhere to escape—the tall, helmeted zombie was already running towards him at high speed.

At this point, Yangyang Fugui could have turned and run, but he knew even better that if he couldn't deal with the tall zombie with the crowbar, he and Xie Tianlang wouldn't be able to safely load the contents of the container onto the plane.

Since Xie Tianlang has already chosen to fight against the more troublesome and dangerous speed-type zombie, then he should... deal with this big, strong guy.

Gou Fugui took a deep breath, preparing for battle.

Xie Tianlang had already seen the tall zombie heading towards Gou Fugui from the container.

He had some worries in his heart.

Although Yuan Yuan's combat power is enhanced when he transforms into a certain animal, he is indeed a self-taught fighter who has not undergone systematic training.

When facing an enemy who is three or four times taller and stronger than him, even if he has a weapon, if the weapon cannot defeat the enemy in one blow, he will soon be put on the defensive and at a disadvantage, or even... get injured.

Xie Tianlang's gaze suddenly turned icy cold; he had no time to fight this jumping-around guy anymore.

Xie Tianlang suddenly stood still. In the instant that the tall, thin zombie pounced like a gust of wind, he dodged the zombie's blood-stained claws with precision, and at the same time, he drew his gun with his left hand and instantly pressed it against the tall, thin zombie's temple. Bang!

One shot, and the result.

The very next second after Xie Tianlang dealt with the tall, thin, fast zombie, he heard a huge zombie roar and the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.

He looked in the direction of the sound with a tense expression, and saw Yuanyuan, whom he had been worried about, had just landed on the ground from mid-air, with one hand still raised in a fist.

"Waaaaah, my fist hurts so much!"

Xie Tianlang: "...?"

Did he miss something?

Meanwhile, the giant eagle that had been watching closely from the sky, transforming from a bird into a sheep and then from a sheep into a human, was even more bewildered.

No, did it go blind just now, or did that bird-goat monster use some unscientific power again?! He actually sent that giant, who was three times his size, flying with a single punch?!

He just jumped and threw a punch?!

Even the eagle father, who considered himself incredibly powerful, felt at this moment that it was wise of him not to fight this strange bird? sheep? human? to the bitter end.

How did Gou Fugui manage to send that tall, helmeted zombie flying with a single punch?

Of course, it's because he activated the bloodline bonus of Whale Wealth.

The orca's massive, ton-force strike amplified by Whale Fugui's innate skill "Leap of Faith" is not quite at the level of becoming a god with a single punch, but it definitely far surpasses that of countless ordinary people.

However, activating different bloodline powers one after another really exhausted Gou Fugui's physical strength.

He felt like he had just finished an ultramarathon; even breathing was tiring and painful.

However, Gou Fugui still walked step by step to the tall zombie who was stunned by the Leap of Faith, pulled out a gun, pointed it at his forehead, and sent him to reincarnation.

When Xie Tianlang rushed over, he saw a pale and weak rich and beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman grinned at him and said, "I'm exhausted. You can do all the physical work from now on."

Xie Tianlang looked at the giant zombie beside him being sent to reincarnation, and felt a complex mix of heartache and pride. He simply went up and picked up his Yuanyuan, then slapped her on the butt to vent his worried anger. Even as the wealthy beauty struggled and cried out, he replied:

"Leave the rest to me."

The wealthy beauty: "...Damn it, but you can't hit me, cough cough!"

Xie Langren raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "That wasn't hitting you, that was loving concern."

The wealthy beauty: "..."

There are times when you think someone is amazing, handsome, and almost fall for them, but then they suddenly become incredibly annoying.

However, I'm tired, so I won't argue with this werewolf weirdo!

Having dealt with the two most dangerous zombies in the port, Xie Tianlang and Gou Fugui's transportation became much simpler and smoother.

Even if they successfully transported the goods onto the plane, it would be around six or seven o'clock in the afternoon by the time the transport was completed. It would take five or six hours to get back to the forest, and they would also need to refuel the plane. So Xie Tianran and Gou Fugui decided to rest at the port for the night and go back the next morning.

While they refueled their plane at a nearby gas station, were laden with cargo, and were in good spirits, problems arose at the human base in the Lame Forest.

"Five people are missing from our base? Are you sure? They didn't encounter any accidents while out, or they're temporarily unable to return due to other matters?"

The base commander frowned slightly as he listened to the report from below.

"It wasn't an accident. These five missing people are all rather timid and rarely leave the base on their own. According to their relatives and friends, they look for safe tasks to do at the base every day, and if they can't find any, they work as bricklayers to repair walls. They would never leave the base."

Chi Yuanshan reported the information he had gathered from his investigation, his expression somewhat puzzled but not yet serious: "A friend of one of them said... he seemed to have seen him go to another base with someone. But he doesn't know exactly where they went."

The legion commander pondered for a moment with a serious expression: "Then let's send people to the various bases tomorrow to search and inquire. There are very few humanoid zombies here, and the animal-like zombies have basically stopped bothering us these past two days, so they should be safe."

"However, more and more people have been coming here recently. Yuanshan, you and the others in the team must maintain order at the base and prevent it from becoming chaotic due to the large number of people."

Chi Yuanshan nodded in obedience.

Such unremarkable conversations were also playing out in several other bases. At this point, none of the leaders in each base considered it a major event worthy of special attention.

In the Savage Valley.

At Sanchez's experimental base.

Sanchez looked at the dozens of young people he had injected with a small amount of the modified gold liquid and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Don't worry, everyone. What I'm injecting you isn't some kind of golden liquid that will cause you to mutate. It's a nutritional supplement similar to a golden liquid vaccine. A small amount of injection will only make your bodies better, without any side effects."

"You won't turn into zombies."

"However, your blood can be an excellent medicine to suppress the mutation and poisoning of the liquid gold."

"And I urgently need such medicine right now."

As Sanchez spoke, he slowly rolled up his sleeve, revealing his left arm, which had turned bluish-black and was covered with dense veins.

"After all, I am destined to be the savior of this world... Therefore, until the antidote is developed, I must live in the most perfect state."

"For the sake of world peace and survival, I'm sure you can all understand, right?"

The thirty survivors from various bases, firmly strapped to their beds and receiving intravenous fluids, looked on in utter terror as Sanchez approached them and dozens of researchers who seemed to have the same symptoms as Sanchez. They wanted to scream and try to escape, but their bodies were paralyzed, unable to run away or make a sound.

In the end, they could only watch helplessly as the terrifying researchers and Sanchez, who had already turned into zombies, reached out their arms and inserted IV needles into themselves. Then, they watched as their own healthy, clean red blood flowed into the bodies of Sanchez and his team of researchers, while the foul blood of Sanchez and his devilish team of researchers, mixed with faint golden and dark blue spots, flowed into their own bodies.

"Waaaaaah!!"

As the mutated blood flowed into these people's bodies, Sanchez and his group's complexions gradually returned to a rosy and normal color.

They ignored the pain and struggle of the people who were anesthetized in bed, and even took out their own notebooks to record the abnormal state and physical condition of these people.

"Patient number one had a violent reaction to the blood transfusion...and has died."

"Patient number two had a violent reaction to the blood transfusion...and has died."

"Bed number four experienced a violent reaction to the blood transfusion... he turned into a zombie and died."

"Bed number six experienced a violent reaction to the blood transfusion... zombification, death!"

"Bed number 13 is experiencing a violent reaction to the blood transfusion... turning into a zombie... currently in a coma! Continue to monitor."

"Blood transfusion reaction in bed number 22..."

While they were recording the data, the mercenaries guarding Golden Flower Valley suddenly made a report.

"Doctor! We've caught someone who sneaked into the Golden Flower Field!"

"He seems to be an indigenous person of this tribe!!"

Sanchez, who had been ignoring the report, stopped taking notes, then looked up and laughed: "So that fish that slipped through the net actually came back on its own?"

"It's true, fate is on my side."

At this moment, Si Mingri, who had just finished a day of research, suddenly realized that he hadn't seen the savage for a whole day.
