"I heard you say before that there are still people living in Oak City?"
Lu Hao asked Xiang Qiao, if there really were other people, they might have to bring those people out first after they arrived and then use the mutant moss.
"There are about 35 of them, all from declining small families who are unwilling to submit to the rule of the Nicol family."
Joe explained helplessly.
Reis also sneered and said, "Anyway, they are just stubborn people. At this age when they can't even reproduce, they still say they want to stay there for the sake of the family's inheritance."
"Reese, don't say that to them. Family heritage is very important."
Joe stopped him.
The family had heard from Lian Jiyue before that although Country Y is only a small country, it is a country with a strong sense of family. The so-called family inheritance is all-encompassing, such as people, architecture, culture, etc. Some families even have the concept of inheriting treasures.
There are also numerous folk tales about the inheritance of treasures. There are stories of mirrors that can be placed in front of the eyes to see through things, pocket watches that can be worn to control time, and leather boots that can travel a thousand miles a day...
However, these are only legends. In fact, no one has ever seen such treasures. Most of them are gold, silver and other treasures left by wealthy families.
So those who still stayed there didn't know why they stayed in such a dangerous place.
"Don't worry, we know where those people are and we will evacuate them immediately after we arrive."
Joe said.
"Are you going to use the Nicol summons?"
Morris asked, he still had a lot of that thing in his space.
Joe nodded. Those people were scattered throughout Oak City, so it would be most convenient to use a summons.
"Then I'll trouble you."
Lu Hao replied that although he didn't know what the Nicol Call was, as long as someone could cooperate in evacuating the survivors, it would be fine.
The journey to Oak City really took less than an hour.
From a distance, Su Jin spotted the words "Oak City" written in a foreign language on a European-style stone tablet. She whispered to Qiqi beside her, "Is Oak City ahead? Can you sense what's going on inside?"
Qiqi nodded, looked ahead, then frowned and shook her head.
There's no one inside.
Not a single person.
Su Jin was also a little shocked. She knew that Qiqi's small map could not possibly not sense the presence of living people, but did Qiqi mean that there was no one inside?
Are they all dead?
However, these people from Country Y didn't know that Morris had already taken out several things from the space and handed them to Joe.
The so-called call to arms is nothing more than a few colorful smoke bomb signals. When the smoke rises high, it will automatically type out a few letters of the Nicol family. Generally, people in Country Y will understand immediately after seeing or even hearing the special sound, and will rush to the place with the smoke bomb signal as required.
Oak City doesn't look much better than the dead city of Tawa City. Zombie corpses are piled up on both sides of the road. After the car slowly drove, a layer of zombies soon surrounded the outside of the car, and zombie cockroaches could be seen on those zombies.
"Joe, I feel like this place seems a little different from when we came here before."
Abby said that they had come to Oak City with other people before to persuade the survivors in the city to go to the Y Country headquarters, but that was several months ago.
The strange blizzard at the end of the world was global. Even Country Y, which had never seen winter, experienced a blizzard for the first time in history.
Since then, the road has become difficult to travel and the outside world is full of dangers. In addition, the survivors of Oak City are extremely persistent, so the Nickel family has never been here.
When they came here before, there were many more zombies than there are now, but it was not as deadly as it is now.
An ominous premonition arose in the hearts of several people.
After Lu Hao cleared all the zombies around the car, Reese walked to a position in the middle of the car. There was a small hole reserved in that position, and there was a small door that could be opened and closed. It was a special hole specially used to place the call to arms.
The family felt a little emotional. The methods used by the people of country Y to prevent zombie cockroaches are really comprehensive, with all kinds of methods, big and small.
A call was issued, and Lin Xiuyuan and Mao Qiqi looked upwards curiously, but because of their position, they could only see part of it through the glass and the roof.
After a burst of explosion sounded similar to that of firecrackers, colorful smoke formed a large piece of text made up of letters in the air. Although the two could not understand what it was, they thought it must be the logo of the Nicol family that Morris had mentioned before.
Ten minutes passed, and there was still no sign of anyone at the entrance of Oak City. Su Jin was certain that the people inside must have really died.
"Joe, how long has it been since you last came here?"
Su Jin asked Qiao, who was frowning.
"Blizzard has never come since then"
Joe answered truthfully.
“I think there’s no one inside.”
Su Jin was silent for a while, then continued to say this.
"They are very professional in preventing zombie cockroaches. I want to wait a little longer. Reese, can you put another one in?"
Qiao said that although he felt that what Su Jin said was very likely, he still didn't want to give up. What if those people just didn't notice the call?
Reese nodded, took the call from Morris, and lit another one.
"Qiao, I think Miss Su is right."
David muttered as he looked at the horrific scene in the distance.
Oak City was a relatively livable city before the end of the world, and its drainage system, such as sewers, was also very developed. What David saw at this moment was that the sewer manhole cover in the distance was suddenly lifted up by a black mass, and then countless zombie cockroaches swarmed out from it, all rushing towards the minibus!
"It's zombie cockroaches! Why are there so many of them here?"
Abby said in disbelief.
After not seeing this place for a few months, it might have already become a dead city!
Everyone in the car had seen the situation outside. In addition to the sewer manhole cover, zombie cockroaches kept crawling out from the cracks in the stone bricks on the road!
"Xiao Jin, is it too late?"
Huang Yunxiang asked, why does Oak City feel worse than Tawa City?
"There's still time"
Su Jin had already taken out the mutated moss. She nodded to Lu Hao, and Lu Hao quickly opened the car window a crack. After the vines came out of the gap, Lu Hao immediately closed the window.
"Joe, it's obvious that there's no one left in the city."
Lu Hao said.
"I know. Please, Miss Su, please handle it the same way as before."
Joe sighed. Finally, another city was destroyed by zombie cockroaches?
