Chapter 163

Ambush

The four cars drove to an open space about ten miles away and set up tents again to rest.

Fang Xin lay in the tent and couldn't sleep for a moment.

The image of the mutated centipede kept replaying in my mind. Now the insect has advanced.

Be wise

No, it's instinct and the desire for flesh and blood that makes them attack humans.

But it already has the ability to organize a large number of mutant insects.

Fang Xin sighed inwardly. Is this going to wipe out humanity? Is the food chain going to be reversed?

Forget it, do whatever you want and go to sleep.

This is not something she can solve alone.

The next morning.

Everyone had a simple breakfast and set out early.

During the extremely hot days, sporadic survivors can still be seen wandering around.

However, as night fell, the survivors on the road began to hide like frightened birds.

The reason is simple: those creepy bugs come out at night to hunt for food. Many survivors are well aware of this rule and start looking for safe places to hide early.

Now, more and more survivors are gathering together. After all, it is simply a fool's dream to want to fight against a large number of insect tides with one person's strength alone.

Although these insects are not big in size, there are many of them and they are so densely packed that it takes time to kill them all.

Moreover, for ordinary survivors, the amount of food they take in every day is pitifully small. Being in this hungry state for a long time, their bodies are naturally extremely weak. How can they have the extra energy to deal with the terrible insect tide?

If you are not careful, the insects will probably eat you up in an instant without leaving even a bone.

It is not easy for them to deal with insect disasters, let alone ordinary survivors.

It is even more difficult to survive in this crisis-ridden land.

Without the protection of a strong base, it would be really difficult to survive.

Maybe this is the survival of the fittest.

It took two days to drive through the outskirts of City B and City C.

We didn't encounter any insect nest attacks during these two nights, so everything went pretty smoothly.

They did not pass through other people's territory with much fanfare. After all, they were transporting two truckloads of food, so many important supplies, and they could not afford any mistake.

Even though this may require taking a longer detour and taking more time, in people's minds, safety is always the top consideration.

While City A Base has its own capabilities, it will also provide some assistance to other cities.

However, all of this is based on the premise of ensuring its own stable and good development.

Things are different now. Even though City A is the capital, it is impossible for it to ignore its own interests and help others unreservedly and without compensation.

The food in these two trucks was not given to the D City base for free, but the other party needed to provide materials of equal value to complete this exchange transaction.

As for what materials to use in replacement, she had no idea.

As the person in charge of this mission, the captain did not reveal the details to her, but it didn't matter. For her, all she had to do was follow orders.

On the surface, their mission seems simple, it is nothing more than delivering food to the designated location and completing the handover, but in reality, the hidden variables and potential risks are unknown.

Everyone remained highly alert along the way. Outside the car window was a desolate scene, and occasionally the ruins of abandoned buildings could be seen.

And some skeletons.

Everyone prayed that they would not encounter too many setbacks, arrive at the mission location safely, and complete the mission as soon as possible.

Finally, after another day's journey, we arrived in City D smoothly.

As we go deeper into City D, we see more and more ruins.

The captain's voice came through the headset, "Be alert, check your weapons."

"yes."

Fang Xin, who was sitting in the back seat petting the dog, paused. She saw a large number of people moving in the ruins more than 80 meters ahead.

Her senses were no longer normal. There were at least fifty people in the ruins ahead, and they were holding guns.

One of them was holding a telescope and observing the surrounding situation.

Something is wrong.

She quickly picked up the telescope and looked into the distance.

Sure enough, there were a lot of people and they had already ambushed us.

She quickly pressed the headset, "There's an ambush in the abandoned building on the right!"

Upon hearing the sound, the captain quickly took out his binoculars to check.

He looked through the telescope and saw that, just as Fang Xin had said, there were a large number of people hiding in the abandoned building on the right.

Moreover, they are all well-equipped and seem to be well prepared.

What's going on?

He immediately turned off the headset and said, "Stop, stop first."

The four cars stopped in place.

You definitely can't fight head-on. If you drive your car over there, you'll become a sitting duck.

The situation is clearly unfavorable. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. It is obvious that the other side is prepared. It is obviously impossible to make the other side compromise through negotiations.

He thought about it for just a moment and then made a judgment immediately.

He immediately pressed the headset and said in a deep voice, "Return the same way and retreat to a safe area, quickly."

In the ruins on the right.

"Brother, it seems their car has stopped."

"Could it be that they have discovered us?"

"Take another look, don't be impatient."

The man called Big Brother picked up the telescope again, lying in the ruins of the building, observing the developments over there.

"Their car is moving. They need to run."

"What should we do, brother? Our boss has issued a death order. We must bring the supplies back."

"Stop making noise," the eldest brother shouted angrily, with a somewhat impatient temper.

If we leave the ruins and go straight into the fight, there will be no cover to protect us.

While he was still hesitating, the four cars had already started moving.

The eldest brother climbed up from the rubble and shouted angrily, "Mad, catch up with him."

"quick."

Fang Xin stared intently at every move on the opposite side. Suddenly, she saw a group of people driving out of the ruins with great momentum.

She quickly turned off the headset and spoke very quickly, "They are moving and chasing us! Our car can't outrun them. There is an abandoned building on the left side of the road we came here. Why don't we drive there?"

The captain frowned slightly. Just as Fang Xin said, two trucks pulling heavy objects would definitely not be as maneuverable as a car. This was the only way for now. It seemed that this battle could not be avoided.

His face was solemn and he said in a deep voice, "Just listen to Fang Xin, everyone pay attention, and drive the car into the abandoned building."

After receiving the order, the four cars stepped on the accelerator at the same time, the engines made a deafening roar, the tires spun rapidly, rolling over the dry ground, and raising a lot of dust.

This time, Fang Xin's car took the lead, leading the other three cars and speeding towards the abandoned building they came from.

Behind them, there were about six cars chasing them relentlessly, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.
