Yan Bin continued forward against the wind and snow, not daring to stop on the road.
With the situation unclear, no one dared to stop on the road.
The snowstorm didn't change much in the following days, giving them time to catch their breath and speed up their journey.
While their team supported each other as they made their way to Beijing, Li Xiao's side was still facing mutated animals.
Even with plenty of food, there will always be a day when the weather is bad.
The base also faced a food shortage.
In order to prevent anyone from starving to death, the base had no choice but to send teams into the city to find food.
More and more ordinary people, unable to bear the hunger and cold, are venturing out to find usable supplies.
Having courage is good, but not everyone who went out made it back alive.
Many people will still die on the journey to find them.
Although the mutated animals in the base have been cleared out, there are none left in the city.
Besides mutated rats, there are also mutated cats, mutated dogs, mutated earthworms, and mutated cockroaches.
On this day, Shao Jie went out to scout and returned, saying that a team had encountered mutated spiders, and very few of them returned; it was almost a complete wipeout.
"A mutated spider?" Tian Tian's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Yeah, I heard it's pretty scary," Shao Jie replied.
“If it’s a spider, then that’s going to be difficult, since spiders can spin silk,” Meng Yang said thoughtfully.
"Yes, I've heard that spiders can entangle people with their silk, making it impossible for them to break free, and that's usually how they die."
Cheng Shaolin twirled the teacup in his hand and said in a deep voice, "It seems that if the situation becomes bad, the base will take measures."
As Cheng Shaolin had predicted, the base indeed issued a notice, ordering a team to go and kill the spiders.
"What do you think about this?" Yu Yanbin asked.
"The base has issued a notice, which means this mission is very dangerous. I wonder if any teams will go."
"Nobody's a fool; they don't know if the base will enforce it?"
"Forced? No, really?" Shao Jie was taken aback, finding the conjecture hard to believe.
Cheng Shaolin stroked his chin and thought for a moment, "If that's the case, then it's possible."
"Huh? Brother, why do you think that?"
"Think about it, if none of you go, this mutated spider will only get stronger and stronger. Then, who will be able to deal with it?"
That makes sense.
"It seems that we have no choice but to go."
"Let's see which teams will go."
As expected, the base took a tough stance this time, assigning a team to kill the mutated spider.
Unfortunately, the Chaoyang Squad was also on the list.
They exchanged glances, realizing that this was a must-go trip.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, Xiang Yuping, the captain of the second brigade, came to explain the situation to them.
"Captain Yu, there's nothing we can do about this. The rumors are all over the place, so many teams are afraid to go. The base has no choice but to leave it at that. Please understand."
Xiang Yuping's attitude was very sincere, and he also adopted a very humble posture.
Yu Yanbin had already spoken to everyone and didn't make things difficult for him, agreeing at just the right time, which made Xiang Yuping extremely happy.
After all, strong teams usually have bad tempers, but that's because they have the skill to back it up.
However, Yu Yanbin and his group were not arrogant and were very easy to talk to.
This relieved Xiang Yuping greatly, and he felt a little more at ease.
Two days later, the team assembled and headed to the city to eliminate the mutated spiders.
This time, Xiang Yuping is leading the team, which is very friendly.
After all, we've worked together before, so we're at least quite familiar with each other.
The bad thing is that the Mad Lion Squad is with them this time.
Before setting off again, Yu Yanbin told everyone to be careful, because who knows when the Mad Lion Squad might pull a dirty trick behind their back.
That's their habit, it's not like they haven't done it before.
Everyone knew what was going on and was secretly on guard.
The Mad Lion Squad also saw the two of them. Their captain, Zhang Kaisheng, just smiled, but that smile looked very strange.
Yu Yanbin gave everyone a look, signaling them to be careful.
Everyone understood the unspoken message and became vigilant.
At Xiang Yuping's command, all the teams went out and set off, skiing towards the city on their skis.
A rapid gliding motion, a lightning-fast speed, the whistling cold wind rushing past the ears, making one feel extremely comfortable.
Li Xiao hadn't noticed this the last time she went out, but this time she was traveling with the main group, so the speed was definitely faster than last time.
Like a race, they chased each other, accompanied by shouts and cheers, truly forgetting the dangerous battle that was about to begin.
In less than an hour, everyone arrived at their destination.
This mutated spider was in a residential building, surrounded by tall buildings and houses, making the environment quite complex.
When the apocalypse first began, this spider was living in a big tree in the small park near these residential buildings.
After the apocalypse, the big tree withered and died, and the spider moved to the apartment building closest to the tree.
There's a yard in front of the first floor, which helps block some of the heat, so the spiders live there.
Because this residential building is very old, it is over 10 years old and looks very dilapidated from the outside.
Therefore, none of the teams searching for supplies took notice of this 7-story residential building.
If it weren't for the approaching cold winter and the urgent need for warm and cold-proof supplies, there's really no way anyone would have come here.
