Chapter 70 Reappearance of Civilization
Wei Yanqing released a modified off-road vehicle with a chassis half a meter high. The entire body was inlaid with an alloy steel frame, and a row of iron spikes was placed at the front of the vehicle, like the sharp teeth of a wild beast. The glass was specially made bulletproof glass, which could withstand attacks from Tier 2 weapons and was quite sturdy.
Rong Yi clicked his tongue in amazement, "That's so cool, it feels like you could crash into a building and it wouldn't be a problem."
Wei Yanqing got into the car and closed the door. "Crashing into the building is fine, but there's no need for it. Get in."
Rong Yi reluctantly got into the car. Compared to its wild exterior, the interior was quite luxurious. The seats were covered in genuine leather, and the foam underneath was extremely comfortable.
The car started, the engine's deep rumble like a beast's growl, which had a unique flavor to it.
The huge tires rolled over the ground, and the roads near the base had been cleared, making it easy to drive until we left the patrol area.
Bang bang——
Wei Yanqing's car was like a rampaging beast, smashing and crushing everything in its path. Rong Yi, in the passenger seat, saw cars being smashed aside one after another, but there was little vibration inside the car.
They then took out a map and prepared to take various side paths.
Sure enough, there weren't many blocked sections on the side roads.
They didn't stop when they saw zombies on the road. Rong Yi even saw a high-level zombie staring at them from a high-rise building.
Besides zombies, there are also mutated dogs and cats. They have lost their cute appearance from memory, and are now tall and wild. They will bite zombies and lick the crystal cores at the back of their heads.
Later, we saw a high-level zombie fighting a group of mutated cats.
They set off at around 8 a.m., a journey that should have taken less than two hours under normal conditions, but it took them nearly four hours, which is considered fast.
Fortunately, after entering the outskirts of Fenghe District, there are more open areas.
"Less than a kilometer left," Rong Yi said, looking at the map.
The car suddenly stopped, and Rong Yi looked at him curiously, "What's wrong?"
Wei Yanqing pointed ahead, "Over there."
Following the direction he pointed, Rong Yi saw several bags of grain with damaged outer packaging. He carefully confirmed, "Rice?" The white and slender grains were indeed the familiar rice.
Wei Yanqing unbuckled his seatbelt. "I'll go take a look."
Rong Yi couldn't sit still any longer. He tossed the map aside and unbuckled his seatbelt. "Together."
I walked over, squatted down, and touched it with my hand. It was indeed rice. I could smell the fragrance of rice when I took off my mask.
Several bags of rice were placed at a distance, suggesting that someone had to abandon them and run away in a hurry.
"No way, someone went to the granary?" Rong Yi suddenly felt that this mission was probably doomed.
"Someone should have gone to find food; they shouldn't have taken everything. Besides, there are only a few bags here."
Rong Yi put the rice he was holding back. "Keep it. If we don't eat it, we can sell it to the base."
With a wave of his hand, Wei Yanqing made all the bags of rice disappear completely, not even leaving the ones scattered on the ground.
Back in the car, they continued on their way. After about 500 meters, they saw two more bags of rice, both damaged as before. Wei Yanqing didn't think much of it and put the bags away.
Upon approaching the granary, they sensed that there wasn't a single zombie inside.
They stopped the car, and Wei Yanqing tapped the steering wheel with his finger. "Not a single zombie, not a single mutated animal."
"Could it be that there are too few people over there, and they've all run away, so the zombies haven't gone there?"
Zombies generally gather subconsciously by following the scent of people, or simply by following their own kind. If the people in the granary had all fled at the beginning of the virus outbreak, it wouldn't be surprising if no zombies gathered there.
"There's nothing unusual about the plants there, except they're a bit more lush."
Plants and animals all possess spiritual power. Once they have intelligence, their spiritual power will be significantly higher than that of those without intelligence. Therefore, it would be easy for him to sense them. However, there was no movement, indicating that the granary was indeed very "clean".
Rong Yi: "Then let's go take a look."
No matter what the situation is like over there, you can only understand what's going on by seeing it for yourself.
The car quickly stopped at the entrance of the granary, and Wei Yanqing got out and put the car away.
The granary was built by the state. A wall surrounds the cylindrical buildings inside, and the iron gate at the entrance is locked. It seems that the employees did not forget to close the gate when they left.
The obstructing door was practically useless to them. Wei Yanqing waved his hand, and the iron door opened with a bang. "This granary in Fenghe District is a standard granary with a capacity of nearly 50,000 tons of grain. I wonder if it's full yet."
Rong Yi: "Ten thousand tons, that's quite a lot."
As soon as they entered, Wei Yanqing locked the door. They were both alive and well, and the kind with plenty of blood and energy. They might attract a few zombies, so closing the door behind them was a good habit.
Nearly two kilometers away from the granary, a zombie with protruding teeth tilted its head back and twitched its nostrils. After confirming the scent, it let out a gleeful growl that affected every zombie minion around it.
It led the charge, and the other zombies quickly followed.
A team led by a level 5 zombie and consisting of nearly a thousand elite level 3 zombies was formed.
·
The power to the granary had been cut off long ago, but fortunately the stored grain was all in its husk, so it would be fine to leave it undisturbed for up to six months.
Rong Yi watched Wei Yanqing collect the grain layer by layer, saying, "With so much grain, we must give him a good reward when the mission is over."
"Since it's about food, I'd like to request a book on its cultivation."
Rong Yi nodded in agreement, "Farming is good, harvest quickly."
She was worried that other players might come looking for them. If they hadn't collected all the food, and other teams were going to share it, she didn't know if the reward for the mission would be a lower level or if she would have to share a book with other teams.
After only a short while, Wei Yanqing stopped. "High-level zombies are coming with a team. Prepare to fight them."
"So fast?" Rong Yi was surprised. Only a few minutes had passed, and the zombies had already sensed them.
Wei Yanqing frowned and continued collecting grain. "It shouldn't be a coincidence. They arrived in less than ten minutes. They were probably lying in wait."
After continuing to collect the food for about a minute, Wei Yanqing stopped completely. "Get out of here. Don't let those zombies in; they'll contaminate the food."
Although it's uncertain whether the food here is contaminated with the virus, it wouldn't be good to let zombies in and start fighting.
No sooner had they stepped outside than they saw a high-level zombie leap over the wall, land, and immediately abut the two of them.
This zombie, well, it had a protruding mouth with a mouthful of sharp teeth showing. It had a male body, with its upper body naked and the exposed skin bluish-purple, but its body was sturdy, unlike the loose and flabby body of a typical zombie.
As more and more zombies jumped in, the evolved zombie revealed a stiff, ferocious "smile".
Let's call it a laugh for now; anyway, this zombie made some kind of expression.
"You've got a brain now," Rong Yi said in a low voice.
Seeing that the evolved zombies didn't rush over all at once, but stood still, waiting for the zombies behind to drag one person to the leader.
The person being carried was already dead, and his head was tilted at an odd angle.
The evolved zombie grabbed the corpse's head and pulled it out forcefully. There was no blood, indicating that the person had been dead for some time.
In front of Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing, the evolved zombie pried open the corpse's head and pulled out a round object, which turned out to be the crystal core of the superhuman.
Smeared with blood and flesh, the evolved zombie grinned as it swallowed the crystal core.
