Chapter 64 Empty
"Mr. Zhou, what are you looking at?"
Zhou Zixi didn't look up when he heard that, but continued to frown and stare at the corpse in front of him, wondering what he was thinking.
The young man who asked the question did not care about his silence, but walked up to him and looked in the direction he was looking.
In front of the two men was a black off-road vehicle with its front end smashed into pieces. The driver, wearing ordinary sportswear, was lying sideways on the steering wheel with his face facing the driver's window. It looked like he had died from a head injury.
"Fang Wen, do you know him?" Zhou Zixi asked the young man next to him.
"Ah? How come I know someone from this town?" Fang Wen was a little surprised, but he still observed the dead man carefully.
"Eh? Now that you mention it, he looks a little familiar. I think I've seen him in the military camp before?"
Zhou Zixi narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and had a bad feeling.
"Oh my god! Mr. Zhou, come and see!" Fang Wen, who walked around to the passenger side to see if he had found anything, suddenly screamed, then covered his mouth as if he remembered something.
Zhou Zixi walked over and saw the big hole on the back of the corpse's head, his face solemn.
This man's head was struck open by something, and his entire brain disappeared, leaving his skull empty.
"Is there a queen insect here that specializes in sucking brain matter, like the ones in Starship Battleship..." Fang Wen muttered to himself while taking a breath, and then shuddered at his own imagination.
"Mr. Zhou, it's time."
The people who were resting over there stood up one after another, and someone came over and called Zhou Zixi.
"Tell everyone, be careful on the next journey and don't be left alone."

Cheng Ming chopped off the head of a zombie with his knife, then looked towards the gate of the town hospital on the right, somewhat puzzled.
"Old Cheng?" Gu Chao kicked a zombie away, saw that he was a little absent-minded, walked up to him and asked.
"Something's wrong."
Gu Chao heard this and had some guesses in his mind, "What do you mean?"
Cheng Ming closed his eyes and released his mental power again to sense the situation in the town hospital.
Opening his eyes, he frowned and said, "There's not a single zombie with special abilities in there."
Gu Chao raised his eyebrows: "Maybe they were all indoors when it rained."
"No, it's not just that." Cheng Ming shook his head and looked at Gu Chao. "Didn't you notice? We haven't encountered any of them along the way. Moreover, within my perception range, no zombie has any supernatural power fluctuations. The rest of the evolved zombies are at most at the first level."
After his psychic ability was upgraded to level two, in addition to being able to sense nearby creatures, he could also picture the shapes of the creatures in his mind. As for mutated zombies and people with special abilities, he could feel the energy fluctuations on them. The stronger the energy fluctuations, the higher the level.
Except for one person, the rest of the detection results are consistent with the actual situation.
Gu Chao's words confirmed his suspicions. He realized that the journey had been incredibly smooth. Although there were many zombies, most of them were ordinary. He had originally thought that the advanced zombies were hiding in the dark, observing them. But now it seemed that things weren't that simple.
He pressed the headset and said in the team channel: "Be alert, there is a problem in this town."
------------
Half an hour later, they finally arrived at the gate of the town government.
That's right, this also made them very confused. The company's grain warehouse was actually built next to the town government. It was blocked by a wall and an iron gate in the front, and a natural wall formed by the mountain wall in the back. It can be said to be very safe. It is unlikely to sneak into the compound from other entrances, and those who can do it will not be so boring.
The iron gate was open and there were signs of it being broken open violently, probably meaning someone had been there before.
"Hey, is their intelligence accurate? What if the granary inside has been emptied? Wouldn't all our hard work be in vain?" Lin Cong was a little worried and muttered a few words under his breath. The other members of the team heard it and told him to shut up.
Zhou Zixi also heard it, but didn't care. He just looked at the empty yard in front of him with a serious face and pursed his lips.
Gu Chao glanced at him and said, "Let's go in first."
Entering from the courtyard gate, you can see a large open space in the front right, with a common three-story bungalow grain storage warehouse standing there. In the front left are two buildings. One is taller and is the town government, and the other is a two-story country villa. I don’t know whose residence it is.
Although there were no zombies in sight, they were still very vigilant and slowly approached the warehouse.
This type of warehouse is 3,000 square meters and one story high. It can store bulk grain or finished products. There are four normal temperature doors on the side close to the courtyard gate, and there are several ventilation windows on the top of the house.
Twenty-nine people came to one of the doors, fifteen of them were responsible for guarding the gate, and the others tried to find a way to open the door.
"No, this door is too thick and I can't cut it open." Yan Wei attached the golden energy to the blade and tried it, then shook his head.
"Try using fire?"
"Even fire won't work. The door's ignition point is too high."
"Ah, if only Captain Wan were here, he could just corrode the door."
"Why don't you try going in through the window?"
"Uh...everyone, sorry to interrupt, but this time someone's prediction must have come true...come over here and take a look."
"Luming? Where are you?"
"You can see it from behind the house if you come around."
When the Chaoyang team heard the voice in the headphones, they all walked back. Zhou Zixi and the others saw this and followed suit.
Everyone: “…”
Why is there such a big hole behind the house? !
Lu Ming had already gone in and was standing in the empty warehouse, looking at them.
She spread out her hands, "There's nothing but blood all over the floor, not even a grain of rice."
Zhou Zixi pushed everyone aside, walked in quickly, looked around, and cursed softly: "Damn it!"
He was not mistaken. The bodies in the car were indeed Deputy Commander Qian's men, but they were not wearing military uniforms, so he did not dare to recognize them. Judging from the current situation, they might have already moved the food away and deliberately released false information to them.
Everyone present looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Lu Ming mouthed the word "crow's mouth" to Lin Cong, and Lin Cong shrugged helplessly.
Gu Chao thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry. If there really was food here before, and it's been cleared out so cleanly now, then it shouldn't have happened after the apocalypse. Otherwise, there wouldn't be no news coming from the base, and there wouldn't be so many zombies outside. Maybe someone received the order to move the reserves a long time ago and moved the things away in advance. We can go to the town government and look for them. Maybe there will be some clues."
After hearing this, Zhou Zixi slowly calmed down. If Deputy Commander Qian and his men were so powerful and had so many supplies, they would have unified the base long ago and the situation would not be in a stalemate like it is now.
That means he hasn't received the grain yet.
He left a few people here to look for clues, and the rest went to the town government nearby.
At the door, Gu Chao looked at Cheng Ming inquiringly. The latter nodded slightly, pressed his right hand down, and then pointed his two fingers forward.
[Safe, only low-level zombies can enter]
Gu Chao nodded and walked in first, followed closely by Lu Ming and Lin Cong.
