The people in the camp might not have known at first that they had left the group, but most of them became aware of it over time.
But since the base commander was involved, they couldn't say anything.
What kind of supplies would be in the forest? Are they going to pick wild fruit? Pshaw, no normal adult would believe that. And two men and two women sneaking off to the back mountain at night—you can imagine what they're capable of!
It wasn't that no one was tempted; some wanted to follow their example.
However, the forest doesn't look very safe at night...
At 4 a.m., the convoy slowly made its way along the road, and soon they would be able to get on the highway.
Shen Jing opened the car window, trying to save as much fuel as possible while the temperature allowed!
There will be many more places where gasoline will be needed in the future.
Even though Gu Yan said last night that he would hand over all the supplies to her to handle, which was tantamount to renting the space, Shen Jing didn't take it to heart.
What kind of evidence is the statement of someone with amnesia?
If you're so capable, then use these supplies as your dowry after you regain your memories! Shen Jing thought to herself, pursing her lips, and couldn't help but want to laugh as she thought about it.
At first, Gu Yan was just dozing off in the back seat. He opened his eyes as if he was sensing something and met Shen Jing's smiling gaze in the rearview mirror.
I wonder what she's laughing about so foolishly? Gu Yan turned his head to look out the window.
The forest was gradually left behind by the convoy. The highway was not smooth, so even though they were on the highway, the speed was only slightly faster.
Shen Jing looked away from the car in front of her. "We'll split up after we get to the outskirts of the city, right?"
As the brightest light bulb, Huang Simiao consciously closed her eyes and went to sleep. When she heard Shen Jing's question, she opened her eyes blankly, thought for a moment, and replied, "It depends on personal preference. In the scorching sun during the day, it's not suitable for either zombies or us to go out. So we usually stay in shopping malls or some factories, but there will definitely be zombies hiding inside. It's better to have more people to look after each other."
Huang Simiao spoke the truth, but after spending some time with Shen Jing, she understood that Shen Jing preferred to be alone.
She then added, "If we're going to act alone, we'll agree on a meeting place so we can meet up with each other."
Shen Jing nodded knowingly.
She certainly wanted to go find the high-level zombies alone with Vasily, and their goal was more specific. Compared to their group heading towards locations where the presence of generators and medicine was uncertain, they only needed to go for the high-level zombies to harvest.
However, Shen Jing was not in a hurry to ask Gu Yan. Anyway, he could be used as a lightning rod, and basically no zombies dared to approach him wherever he went.
Clearly, it would be better for Gu Yan to stick with the group of people who don't have superpowers.
But given his personality, he thought it was impossible, and Shen Jing was too lazy to ask any more questions.
Speaking of lightning rods, some of them have a knack for attracting monsters...
So, it seems most appropriate for them to operate within a certain range of their team. This would be suitable in case of unforeseen circumstances, either to provide backup or to eliminate the monsters they've attracted. It's probably true, as the insults directed at her, that she's truly heartless and only cares about her own interests!
After an hour and a half of slowing down from the high speed, the convoy finally reached the outskirts of the city.
The journey seems to be going quite smoothly.
Even though the stench of corpses was pervasive in the suburbs, the survivors still longed for the supplies in the city.
Compared to not being able to die from the heat and having enough to eat, what does the stench matter?
And wearing a mask isn't so unacceptable after all...
Shen Jing glanced at Gu Yan, who looked disgusted, in the rearview mirror, then took a gas mask out of her backpack and handed it to him.
She avoids speaking as much as possible now, and although she's wearing a mask, the smell is really pungent.
As people got off the vehicle and moved around freely, the stench, along with the zombies' "hoarse" cries and the chewing sounds of tearing apart corpses, became even more pronounced.
Several teams experienced members vomiting.
However, considering the limited number of masks they had, they had to hold back from vomiting. Otherwise, without masks to face the smell and nausea, they wouldn't be able to endure it and would want to turn back to base. But once back at base, they wouldn't be able to exchange their points for food and power!
Just then, Shen Jing and Vassi simultaneously felt a pressure coming from the southeast.
It's unclear whether this is targeting them.
However, the murderous intent still sent chills down Shen Jing and Vassi's spines. It seemed that there were also high-level mutants in the city!
She glanced at the oblivious other squads and suppressed the urge to turn and run away.
Meanwhile, Gu Yan completely ignored the others who were still discussing.
He headed straight for the southeast!
"Gu Yan!"
Shen Jing tried to stop him, but she was too late.
She had no choice but to pull Vasily along, saying, "Come on, we're going too!"
The other teams were left looking at each other in bewilderment. One of them, not recognizing the man, scoffed, "Even flirting should consider the timing and place!"
Someone retorted dismissively, "You can't reason with a suicidal ghost!"
"Aren't they the couple who went up the mountain last night? Why are they in such a hurry? Hehehe!"
"It's also possible that their demand is high. Shh, don't say that!"
Seeing Huang Simiao glare at them, the group curled their lip and moved to the other side.
Not everyone in the base recognizes the base leader.
Those squads thought they were heroes of the base after completing a few missions. And they did indeed receive a lot of worship in the base; men and women alike would line up and offer them whatever they wanted.
Over time, they began to harbor the ambition to establish themselves as kings.
Having just undergone an advancement, Huang Simiao was filled with fighting spirit and couldn't resist teaching these people who spoke rudely a lesson.
Li Chu stopped her again, "Miao Miao, what's wrong? You don't seem to be doing something right."
He Qing only gave He Lichu and the others a general overview.
All they knew was that there were mutated vines and ferocious mutated beasts on the mountain.
Huang Simiao's advancement was also attributed to finding a number of crystal cores, but the level and method of advancement were not revealed.
Huang Simiao bit her lower lip and said impatiently, "A-Jing has brought about so many earth-shattering changes to the base! They... are going too far!"
Zhou Lihao, standing next to Zhang Run, disagreed and rolled his eyes. "What did she bring? I think she's just bragging!"
"You! Zhou Lihao, you've been acting strangely ever since you met that woman!"
"Show some respect when you speak! Mu Yi's situation is very pitiful, and I won't allow you to talk about her like that!"
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Li Chu quickly gave Zhang Run a wink, and then pulled Huang Simiao aside.
She looked Huang Simiao up and down and smiled gently. "What's wrong? You know perfectly well that Lihao cares about Yang Muyi."
Huang Simiao took a few deep breaths to suppress the restlessness.
"The captain said that woman is very likely hiding her superpowers, yet Zhou Lihao is still like this..."
"Do you have any evidence?" Li Chu tried her best to remain impartial.
She continued to retort to Huang Simiao: "Shen Jing's actions have indeed left room for gossip. Are you going to go and silence everyone one by one?"
