While the SEAL team was fleeing frantically, the members of the Dawn Team were also seizing the time to stay away from the zombie group.
Previously, the Dawn Squad was at the end of the team, but now due to the sudden appearance of the zombie swarm, the original formation changed direction, with the Dawn Squad now walking in the front, with the Thunder Squad following closely behind.
The Thunder Squad reacted quickly. As soon as they developed the situation and turned a corner and drove onto another road, the group of people immediately noticed and followed them.
However, the SEAL team that was at the front of the team before did not have the insight of the Thunder team.
Ruan Ning only knew that his team had already driven a long way on this new route, and they hadn't seen the Thunder Squad's car catch up. It seemed that they didn't fail to notice the actions of their two teams in time, but that they didn't notice them at all? !
Isn't this reaction a bit too slow?
I don't know how that group of people are doing now. In fact, as long as there is no accident and everyone stays in the car and does not confront the zombies head-on, and is not trapped in the circle formed by them and unable to get out, the possibility of the SEALs successfully escaping from the zombies is still very high.
…
The SEAL team stepped on the accelerator and drove at a speed of over 100. However, ten minutes later, they still hadn't completely gotten rid of the zombies.
Because when they discovered the zombies, it was already too late, and the zombies were chasing them relentlessly. Fortunately, their car had been modified and was of good quality, so it ran quite fast at full speed, otherwise they would definitely be caught up by the zombies behind them.
The members of the Navy SEAL team could not help but denounce the other two teams for being too immoral. They suddenly changed their route, which must have been discovered long ago, but they didn't even give a warning and just ran away.
After the SEAL team fled for their lives on the road in fear, they drove for another half an hour and finally saw the other two teams. Their cars were parked on the side of the road. There were many people squatting on the rocks next to them. They must have started preparing for lunch.
The leisurely and relaxed look on their faces, in contrast to their previous situation, suddenly made them feel a little uncomfortable.
"Since you had already discovered the zombie group, why didn't you tell us in advance? Wouldn't it be fun to watch us racing with the zombies from behind?!!" Thinking of how they had just fled for their lives, the deputy captain felt a lot of resentment in his heart, and his tone of voice became much more aggressive.
"Jianhao! How can you talk like that? I've already told you not to be so impulsive in the future!" Captain Huang quickly spoke up to stop him from continuing, so as not to anger the other two teams.
The reason why this group of people didn't tell them in advance was because they had already offended them when they first met. This is also their own fault, and it is useless to blame others now. Besides, there is no reason in this world that no one must help others unconditionally, especially in this end times where order has collapsed. Everyone is busy and it is already difficult for them to survive, so how can they have the extra energy to care about others. Put yourself in their shoes, can they do this?
Since their team has been going downhill, he found that the deputy captain's temper and personality have changed a lot. The deputy captain used to be a very responsible person with a cheerful personality, but now he has become full of negative emotions, impulsive and irritable. Captain Huang actually had this kind of negative emotions before, so he can understand his behavior, because there was a long time when he couldn't get out of the glorious achievements in the past, and he has always been depressed. He forced himself to draw a circle and forced himself to have no way out. In fact, what's the matter with their team's ranking retreating little by little? Their team's strength is already stronger than many teams in the base. There is an old saying that goes, contentment is the key to happiness. All this is unnecessary trouble, and it is caused by their discontentment. Besides, if they fall behind in the rankings, they can improve their strength and catch up slowly. Blaming others will not solve any problems.
Captain Huang secretly sighed, the deputy captain has become like this now, he as the captain has an unshirkable responsibility, it is his fault that he did not lead the team well, if he was not useless as a captain, the team members would not have become so depressed one by one.
At the same time, he has decided to change the deputy captain after completing this mission. Perhaps this position puts too much pressure on him. He hopes that the deputy captain can understand this principle as he does and stop being so stubborn. If he continues like this, it will not be good for his development.
Facing the questions from the SEAL team, the Thunder team did their own thing and no one paid any attention to them. The members of the Dawn team were also eating food to replenish their energy and had no time to pay attention to these people.
Because no one responded and there were no casualties in their team, the SEALs were frightened and just swore a few words under their breath and didn't dare to do anything else.
Ruan Ning ate lunch in the car without getting off. In the flowerpot next to her seat, Xiaohua was slowly shaking her flower buds. In fact, when Jiang Jingchao discovered the zombies, Xiaohua also behaved abnormally. This mutant plant became particularly excited. If it had not been planted in a flowerpot and could not move, Ruan Ning had no doubt that Xiaohua would have excitedly run to the zombies behind.
After Ruan Ning fed it several crystal cores in succession, the little flower finally calmed down and stopped waving its bud around.
It seems that Xiaohua also has an early warning function and can detect the presence of zombies in advance. The more zombies there are around, the more obvious its reaction will be.
Unfortunately, Xiaohua will not be able to stay by her side soon. She will not be able to see it for long. It will leave her and take root in another place. Ruan Ning came out this time specifically to send Xiaohua off for the last time.
Gu Yicheng has found a good place for Xiaohua, in City C. Before the end of the world, City C was a famous scenic tourist area with beautiful mountains and clear waters. If Xiaohua stays there, not only will there be many zombies to help it improve its strength, but there will also be many mutated plants to keep it company. It shouldn't be bored and lonely in the future, right?
Ruan Ning's clear eyes flashed with reluctance. Her slender white fingers gently stroked the emerald green branches and leaves of the small flower. As it swallowed more and more crystal cores, the branches and leaves of the small flower became harder, and some pinhole-sized thorns slowly grew on the surface of its stems and leaves. When she first discovered this, she was pierced by the thorns.
To Ruan Ning, Xiaohua is like her own child. Now that the child is growing up, she will eventually leave her parents and live alone. Even if she is reluctant, she has no choice but to let go.
She couldn't delay the growth of the little flower for her own selfish desires. After all, if the little flower stayed by her side, it would never be able to generate the strong power to protect itself. It was suitable for the wider world outside, not for being planted in a small pot by her.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, City C is not particularly far from the Hope Base. If she misses Xiaohua, she still has the opportunity to go to City C to see it.
The next afternoon, they arrived in City C.
After the group entered the city, they could see that the number of zombies around them had increased significantly.
City C is now one of the many lost cities in China. A base originally stationed here collapsed a month ago due to a zombie tide. The survivors of the base could not withstand the waves of zombies, and were eventually breached by the zombies. The people in the base died or escaped, and there were only a few left.
There are far more zombies than humans in this city now. Such a city is not suitable for humans to survive, but it is very suitable for mutant plants like Xiaohua. It stays here like a fish in water. Not only will it not have any discomfort, but it can thrive.
In the evening, Ruan Ning and Gu Yicheng planned to take advantage of the night to settle Xiaohua down.
Although the three teams set up camp on the same site, they were distributed in different locations, and each team's resting place was a certain distance apart, so there was no need to worry that their actions at night would be discovered by people from other teams.
"Brother, I'm ready." Ruan Ning held the flower pot and found an opportunity to sneak into Gu Yicheng's tent when no one was around. In order to prevent others from hearing, she spoke in a low voice.
In fact, she didn't have to go tonight's operation. Gu Yicheng could do the job of settling Xiaohua alone, and it would be more convenient. But for this last leg of the journey, she wanted to personally send Xiaohua there.
Gu Yicheng also understood Ruan Ning's thoughts, so this time he rarely advised her not to go on the grounds of safety.
