Xu Bai understood that the problem could not be solved simply by finding scientific researchers.
She also needs to prepare a lot of things, such as instruments, laboratories, money...
Xu Bai recalled the library where she had traded within the system, the library that she regarded as a scientific research laboratory building. She remembered that there were many books on virus research in it.
Aren’t these their ways of survival in the last days?
After Xu Bai called the system several times, the system pretended to be dead and did not respond, so she knew that her guess was probably right.
Even after Jiao Nanmu awakened his superpowers, Xu Bai still didn't let him go with him, and asked him to stay in Shuguang City and deal with things with Shi's father.
The people tentatively scheduled to go to South City are Ji Heng, Shi Qinghe, Qin Tian, and Captain Lin as usual, but Xu Bai also added Mingliang.
More than ten people died in Shuguang City, and coupled with Mingliang's pleading, Xu Bai agreed to let Qi's mother enter Shuguang City and invited him to go to Nancheng together.
At Qi's mother's request to join Dawn City and the possibility of not seeing the birth of the child.
Mingliang chose the former.
He believed that if something happened to him, Xu Bai and the others would take good care of his family. Moreover, after something happened to his children, he wanted to provide them with a better living environment. It was not that the ordinary high-rise buildings they were renting were not good, but he saw a house with a garden that was only a few stories high.
With that garden, plus the donated soil, I can be self-sufficient and have a way out. I don’t have to worry about not being able to go out on snowy or rainy days and not earning crystal cores.
You will pass through many places on the way to South City.
She quickly got the jam factory and garment factory busy, and took Jiao Nanmu to count the existing food in Shuguang City. Xu Bai reserved a lot of materials to ensure life in the city, and the rest were all stored in the space.
She wanted to sell these materials along the way to speed up her profit.
So, Luo Ziqiang, Luo Xiang and Xu Bai were added to the group, making a total of 8 people.
The snow lasted for a whole week before it stopped. Every time I opened my eyes, I saw a vast expanse of white. It was so cold that no one could work. Everyone stayed at home, covered with quilts to keep warm.
Even so, it was still very cold, and the cold reached its peak when the snow began to melt.
The same is true for Dawn City, not to mention the other bases that are completely unprepared.
The day after the snow stopped, Xu Bai and his group set off. They drove a camping vehicle and also placed a reserve vehicle in the space. Mingliang had used his supernatural powers to strengthen the two vehicles in the past few days, making them hard inside and out. For the sake of testing, he also asked Ji Heng to chop them with his axe until there was no change.
This is the important reason why Xu Bai invited Mingliang to join him.
Having Mingliang there can ensure that their vehicles will not be damaged due to too many zombies while driving.
Ji Heng was driving and Xu Bai was sitting in the passenger seat. One of the benefits of awakening his psychic abilities was that they could detect zombies in time when traveling, avoid them in time, and drive the car to another road, saving a lot of time on the road.
After the apocalypse, the highways had long been closed, and they could only take small roads.
"Go this way. The map here shows a village here. Going through Luojia Village can shorten the distance to the next city."
Luojia Village is a famous poverty alleviation village in Zhe City. It is located in the southernmost corner of Zhe City. Beyond Luojia Village is a long and rugged road, and beyond that is Rongcheng. After Rongcheng, you have to go through three or four more cities before you can reach their destination - Nancheng.
It was not until dusk that we arrived near Luojia Village.
Xu Bai looked through the telescope and only after seeing the village did they park the car in an open space. Although they planned to sell supplies along the way, they would not consider staying in someone else's home at night.
Although it is dangerous to be outside at night, sometimes other people's villages may be more dangerous.
Just as they finished dinner and started to clean up the dishes, a car drove towards them in a hurry. The car was driving in a winding and fast way, but the road was so small that it was very likely to hit them.
"Everyone, get in the car."
Xu Bai glanced at the distraught person in the car and returned to the camp car.
Even though Ji Heng had already driven the car to the side of the road, the other car still bumped into it without any hesitation. The car was knocked forward and sank. After noticing that the car behind them had stopped, Xu Bai and the others got out of the car.
As soon as I came down, I saw a monster running towards me from a distance.
The monster was very fast, with a pointed mouth and a protruding forehead, covered with hair, and its palms were shorter than those of normal people, but its fingers were very long and connected together.
Is this the mutant rat zombie that broke out in the emerging base?
I didn't expect to see it in such a southern place.
Three or four mutant rat zombies came in front of them, baring their teeth and stretching out their hands to attack them. Everyone was not waiting for them to attack, so they chopped off parts of the mutant rat zombies' bodies in two or three strokes. After seeing them being torn into pieces, their limbs were still moving slightly on the ground. After several seconds, they became motionless and entered the moment of death.
Even if the mutant rat zombie has been killed, if it is too close to you, you can easily be hurt by its claws if you are not careful.
"...Thank you...thank you. We two brothers...don't know how to thank you enough."
As he said that, the driver knelt down trembling all over, and pulled his friend who had a dazed look on his face and had not yet recovered to kneel down as well.
"Get up, and tell me how you provoked this thing?" Shi Qinghe squatted down and poked the mutant rat zombie's fingers with a dagger. "This thing has very hard claws. If it gets caught, it will probably lose a lot of skin."
The driver was named Luo Jiaxing, and the driver next to him was Luo Qin, a friend from the same village. Neither of them had ever thought that they would be rescued. After hearing the words of their saviors, they seemed to relax and sat on the ground exhausted. In their minds, they kept recalling the friends who went out with them, who were torn into pieces by these monsters, bitten and eaten.
Thinking of that scene, Luo Jiaxing's words trembled. "My...my...my village...we went out together to look for food. When we were caught, we were cut into pieces. Some of our intact bodies were bitten, but they turned directly into these monsters and chased us all the way."
The people in Luojia Village started to run out of food after the snow fell. In order to find food, the villagers asked several young men to go out and look for food.
They went to the base that the villagers had mentioned, and planned to ask fellow villagers to borrow some food or find a good way out.
Unexpectedly, when they went there, not only did they not find people from the same village, but they also encountered monsters. Usually, if they drove faster, the zombies would not be able to smell their scent and would disperse, but these monsters were different. They chased them along one road after another.
