Chapter 767 The Apocalypse Has Truly Arrived (14)
The convoy continued on its way, occasionally stopping to deal with zombies. Around noon, it encountered several military vehicles, which also stopped by the roadside.
Xiao Zhongming's eyes lit up when he saw the familiar green military uniforms. "I'll go ask them which unit they're from. If possible, I'd like to travel with them."
Ning's father was the first to nod in agreement.
These past two days, all sorts of things have been happening in the convoy. Things like the grandfather and grandson trying to take advantage on the first day are minor.
The night before last, several adult men raped a mother and daughter and then took over their car.
They found out yesterday morning during breakfast.
The key point is that the mother and daughter did not resist afterward, because the men who had taken advantage of them were all superhumans.
It was too chaotic. These people's behavior was disgusting. Ning Yan wasn't afraid of them, but no one wanted to be surrounded by such filth every day, so she didn't object.
Wu Yue and Ning's mother didn't offer much of an opinion. Xiao Zhongming took a pack of cigarettes and walked towards the leading soldier.
About fifteen minutes later, Xiao Zhongming returned. "They are a team that went out on a mission. There is an academician in the car who is their target for this mission. He is also going back to Base One. I have already told them that we will set off after we have eaten and separate from this group first."
Having more people has its advantages and disadvantages; if someone in the group has bad intentions, they'll be in trouble.
In the afternoon, the black RV broke away from the main group and sped away from the military vehicles, disappearing from sight.
Whether it was good or bad luck, around five o'clock, we encountered zombies ahead.
The zombies poured out of the nearby residential area, in dense, swarms.
The black RV stopped, and the five people quickly got out. Captain Ruan Changjiang directed the soldiers to surround the elderly and women in the group. Their team of thirty people were all superhumans and were very good at cooperating. Soon, a large number of the zombies that surrounded them fell down.
Wu Yue also wanted to kill zombies, but her water-based abilities were too weak, so she could only squeeze in between people and wash the zombies' faces when she had a spare moment.
Ning's mother, on the other hand, was overjoyed to have burned two zombies.
Even the smallest fire from supernatural abilities is ignitable upon contact with the body. Zombies don't know how to extinguish fires, so they can only be burned to death, albeit for a long time. Some even manage to exhaust the zombies around them to death. It's fair to say that Ning Ma's firepower is quite formidable.
Ning Yan stood by, watching over the two women. Superpowers grow stronger the more they are used; simply watching without using them won't upgrade them.
He turned his head and met the eyes of another woman in the group.
The person was dressed neatly, had a good appearance, short, neat hair, and smelled faintly of disinfectant; they were probably a medical worker.
The elderly man next to her was wearing glasses and sweat was beading on his forehead; he must be a researcher.
The two exchanged only a glance before quickly looking away to continue watching the battle.
Xiao Zhongming performed exceptionally well.
While others use superpowers to decapitate zombies, he wields lightning in his left hand and a large sword in his right, cutting with incredible speed and skill.
Ning Yan whispered in Wu Yue's ear, "Auntie, sprinkle water on the ground where the zombies are standing over Zhongming's side."
Wu Yue immediately moved her body, without asking why, and simply obeyed, releasing her superpower onto the zombie ground.
Xiao Zhongming quickly understood what his mother was doing. After his mother finished sprinkling water, a bolt of lightning struck down.
This time, they killed four zombies.
Unfortunately, Wu Yue's water volume was too small, and it took her quite a while to wet the ground beneath the feet of the four zombies.
Ruan Changjiang kept a close eye on the team's operation. Xiao Zhongming was the only lightning-type ability user in the team, so he paid more attention to him. He had seen what had just happened and immediately directed the two water-type ability users in the team.
"Quickly, spray water on the ground where the zombies are standing!"
After waiting for a while and recharging, Wu Yue followed Ruan Changjiang's instructions and got to work!
This time, even more zombies were rendered unable to fight!
Ning's mother was in charge of burning people.
Ning's father continuously unleashed his metal-based superpowers. When his superpowers were exhausted, he would retreat to rest, and the soldiers would take over. The battle lasted for more than two hours before it ended. All of them felt that their superpowers had increased significantly after such a battle.
Ning's father took his large machete and pried open the head of the zombie he had just killed, searching for the crystal core inside.
After a 20-minute rest, the convoy continued its journey.
That night, the convoy stopped to rest in a town that was almost deserted. After the soldiers cleared out the zombies in the vicinity, the group moved into an empty house.
Wu Yue said, "Let's cook some porridge tonight. I saw that the gas cylinder in this house still has gas."
Ning's mother offered to help Wu Yue with the cooking, saying, "You cook. We have some dried tofu and soybeans in the car. We'll have stir-fried dried tofu and soybeans for dinner."
As for the rest, they can sneak some out to eat; they can just start cooking anyway.
Just as the two elderly sisters were cooking and chatting happily, someone walked in.
Ning Yan was standing in the yard watching Xiao Zhongming inspect the car when she heard the noise and looked at the person who came.
"Hello comrade, I am Xie Muyun, the doctor accompanying Elder Chen. Elder Chen has not been eating well these past few days. Would it be possible to exchange some supplies with you for some food?"
Her arrival was somewhat abrupt, but there was no other way; taking good care of Old Chen was her mission. She noticed that the soldiers were eating compressed biscuits and fast food at noon.
But this group of people were eating rice and stir-fried dishes.
That's why I had to swallow my pride and come here to exchange supplies.
"I am Ning Yan, just call me by my name."
What would you like to change to?
Xie Muyun's eyes lit up immediately: "Old Xie has a bad stomach and can't eat dry food or spicy food. I want to cook some porridge for him and have some side dishes with it, but we left in a hurry and there are no seasonings in the car."
It wasn't that they lacked seasonings; they hadn't even brought rice or noodles. Most of the food on the vehicle consisted of dry, hard foods like compressed biscuits, instant noodles, and bread.
Ning Yan said, "Then wait a moment, I'll go get your things."
As she spoke, she opened the car in front of Xie Muyun and pulled out a bag of 20 jin of rice and 20 jin of flour.
A bag of eggs weighing about three pounds, some canned vegetables from the supermarket, and two luncheon meats.
A vacuum-packed live chicken and a carton of milk nearing its expiration date.
There's nothing I can do; it's been in my storage space for over twenty days, and the milk is almost expired.
Many of the foods in the space were expired, but nobody cared about that now; as long as they were edible, that was fine.
After dawdling for a while, he took out another bag of green vegetables weighing about a pound. These were grown by Xiao Zhongming while he was practicing his wood-type ability. The bok choy was only about two inches long, green and fresh, and looked very fresh.
I also gave her a bag of each of the various seasonings.
"The vegetables grown by the wood-type ability don't grow much in a day, mainly because we don't have many seeds left. You can take them."
Xie Muyun was extremely grateful. "I... I thought I could exchange it for supplies."
But these are too many, I can't give you that much, and I really can't bear to return them to you.
"But don't worry, I won't take these things for nothing. Old Chen is a biological expert invited by the base leadership. Once we get back to the base, I'll have the leaders there calculate it into points for you."
Ning Yan nodded indifferently.
"Well, I'll head back now, and we'll talk again later."
There were too many things, so Xie Muyun asked a soldier to help her carry them back to the next room.
After they left, Xiao Zhongming finished inspecting the car. "I'm going to talk to Ruan Changjiang about what's going on with those points. Do you want to go and listen in too?"
Ning Yan naturally went along.
